Starry Sky Railway: Opening Performance - Taixu Sword God

Just as March 7th asked that question, hurried footsteps came from behind.

"Executive, are you still there?"

"The cake is ready, let's eat it before we go to sleep!"

Bronya, wearing thick gloves, walked in carrying a steaming hot cake.

She looked ahead and realized that Yan Huan wasn't the only one there.

"Eh? Miss March 7th, Mr. Danheng, and... Mother? Have you arrived already?"

"Hmm." Cocolia nodded slightly and said helplessly:

"But you seem to be a little late; he's already passed out from exhaustion."

"..."

Everyone stared intently at the corpse on the ground, remaining silent.

"Ugh! I wondered what he was doing here, turns out he was just waiting for the cake!" March 7th strode forward, stepped on Yan Huan's back, and repeatedly crushed it.

"Hey, hey, hey Yan, wake up! Eat Bronya's cake before you sleep, it won't taste good if it gets cold!"

Bronya walked to Yan Huan's side, gently squatted down, and tried to wake her up along with March 7.

And the other side.

Danheng silently looked at Cocolia, his gaze calm:

"Great Guardian, what has happened?"

The question, of course, was about Toppa.

Just as he entered, Danheng noticed that the atmosphere inside Kripper Castle was somewhat oppressive.

"It seems you saw her when you arrived."

Cocolia slowly walked to the desk, pulled out a chair, and dragged out the handsome blue-haired guy who was hiding inside, before sitting down steadily in her seat.

He said calmly:

"When you first came to Beloborg, you must have heard about that history. About the Legion invasion more than seven hundred years ago, and the cold wave caused by the star core..."

"In retrospect, many significant historical events were buried under the snow and wind, and those memories were not even passed down with the successive Great Guardians."

Cocolia gazed calmly at Danheng beside her and Sambo, who had just been dragged out, and said in a deep voice:

"The young lady named Topa brought this news: Seven hundred years ago, after the star core descended upon Yalilo, the outsiders who originally resided in this world foresaw the approaching crisis and chose to leave one after another."

"Among these outsiders were a group of investors from the Interstellar Peace Company, but they did something big before they left."

"They found the builders who insisted on staying in their homes and provided them with a large sum of money for disaster relief."

"It was because of that funding that Belloberg was able to build such a tall city wall... Even the research and development funds for the first batch of automated soldiers came from that money."

Dan Heng raised an eyebrow slightly:

"I can't believe such a thing happened. So, Miss Topa was actually here to collect a debt?"

“That’s right.” Cocolia nodded calmly.

Dan Heng said in a deep voice:

"If Beloberg hadn't been able to seal the star's core, they probably wouldn't have been able to discover that there were still survivors on this planet."

Sambo helplessly shrugged:

"Hey, why did you have to come now and then? Isn't this just bullying us?"

Cocolia continued:

"According to her, the repayment period agreed upon by the city builders and the company's investors was 280 years, but less than a century after the loan was taken out, Arilo's connection with the entire galaxy was completely severed."

"The company believes that Yalilo has suffered a devastating blow, and the civilization no longer exists, so the investment has been classified as a bad debt."

"It wasn't until the Star Core crisis was resolved that the company discovered that Belloberg had actually survived all this time."

Dan Heng said in a deep voice:

"Then...they sent Toppa to collect the debt."

"Yes, principal and interest." Cocolia's voice was calm, revealing no emotion.

Danheng then asked:

"How much is it...?"

Cocolia shook her head slightly:

"Astronomical level... Even an executive wouldn't know how to pronounce that string of numbers accurately."

“Before you even came in, Toppa had already warned the executives that if the debt was overdue for too long, the company had given Toppa the right to take ‘tough measures’.”

"Warning Yan Huan?" Dan Heng slightly raised his eyes:

"Given his personality, he'd definitely attack that debt collector on the spot..."

Cocolia answered calmly:

"Perhaps he was too tired, he didn't make a move, but the executive officer suggested to me that we go straight to war and imprison Miss Topa as a war criminal."

Sambo nodded and said:

"Exactly! Over seven hundred years of interest... how could anyone possibly pay it back? If the amount after compounding interest were written down, it would stretch from here to the square!"

"I also suggest starting a war immediately!"

"..."

Cocolia glanced briefly at Sambo beside her and said in a deep voice:

"You still haven't explained why you were hiding under the table."

"I'm being chased by Jepard!" Sambo groaned, twisting his aching back.

"That garrison officer was really difficult to deal with. He would arrest me at the slightest disagreement. Luckily, he would never have imagined that I would hide in Cripper Castle."

Sambo continued to laugh:

"At first, when I saw my brother sitting here talking to that Toppa, I thought she was here to help with the reconstruction of our Belberg..."

Dan Heng stood there, silently pondering the feasibility of Yan Huan's so-called violent resistance.

As far as he knew, the company was a massive organization spanning the entire galaxy, and they could probably crush little Belloberg with ease.

If Yan Huan were willing to help, it would probably be extremely dangerous.

After all, the company's foundation in the galaxy is truly terrifying, far more complex than it appears on the surface.

Dan Heng said in a deep voice:

"Paying back debts is a matter of course, but the interest added on top of that is really unreasonable."

Sambo echoed:

"How can this be called inhumane? It's downright bullying! We might as well just start a war."

Dan Heng shook his head slightly, rejecting Sang Bo's near-suicidal suggestion:

"In my opinion, we should not be rash... Since the company belongs to the side of preservation, we can certainly have a good talk with them."

at the same time.

Bronya, March 7th, and the corpse below are no longer there.

"..."

In a corridor somewhere in Cripperburg, Bronya was struggling to carry Yan, while March 7th was holding a cake in one hand and a spoon in the other, desperately trying to force-feed it into Yan's mouth.

"vomit……!!"

Even though Yan Huan was exhausted, she managed to open her eyes and cursed at the two of them:

"Is this cake really indispensable? You might as well just kill me..."

"Pah! Bronya baked this herself, how can you not eat it?" March 7th said confidently.

"Besides, it's healthier to eat before you sleep. Bronya is carrying you back to your room right now."

"You eat yours, she carries hers, let's not hold each other back."

"...Thank you so much!"

Chapter 383 How can I possibly pay it back?

"Uh!"

With a soft drink.

Bronya finally carried Yan to the bed, and the cake in March 7's hand was finally empty.

After they finished their work, the two slowly returned to Cripper Castle.

Cocolia had already left by then.

Only Sangbo, sitting at the very top, and Danheng, silently pondering beside him, remained.

Hearing footsteps below, Sangbo crossed his legs on his desk and glanced down slightly.

"Hey, you're back!"

Seeing that the person sitting at the top had changed to someone with blue hair, Bronya frowned slightly:

"Sambo? Why are you sitting up there? Where is Mother?"

Sambo did not answer Bronya's question, but instead groaned:

"As the saying goes, in good times you look to the guardians, in bad times you look to the big brother, and in desperate times you look to Sambo... So, it's time for me, old Sambo, to show off again!"

"You've come at the perfect time! Let's team up now and go tie up that guy named Topa...!"

But to everyone's surprise, the two women ignored Sangbo's nonsense and instead turned to ask Danheng, who was standing next to them.

Dan Heng did not hide anything and told the two of them in detail about the predicament that Belloberg was facing.
