Chapter 73
Ms. Cocolia, you wouldn't want anything to happen to your daughter, would you?
Cripperburg,
The Great Guardian's office.
"I understand, don't worry, I know what to do."
In the empty office, Cocolia talked to herself.
This seemingly strange behavior was actually her communicating with the star core.
After the brief conversation ended, Cocolia slowly opened her eyes.
A hint of indifference shone through his purple eyes.
"It seems we'll have to issue an arrest warrant to hunt them down."
Cocolia murmured to herself.
However, at that moment...
The voice that had been lingering in her ears disappeared again.
Not only that, but the connection with the star core was also completely severed.
A hint of confusion flashed in Cocolia's eyes.
However, this confusion was fleeting and did not last long.
Having learned from her previous experience, she didn't think there was anything wrong with the disappearance of the star core.
The arrest warrant and the arrest operation must be arranged as soon as possible.
Thinking this to herself, Cocolia opened the door and went out.
Cocolia slowly walked forward along the corridor and arrived at Bronya's office.
The room was dark and empty.
Strange, why hasn't Bronya returned yet?
Did she encounter some kind of emergency?
Cocolia frowned, a sense of unease flashing through her mind.
She called her assistant.
"Bronya hasn't returned yet. Send a few Iron Guards to go look for her."
"Also, call Pera over; I need to speak with her."
"yes!"
After her assistant left, Cocolia returned to her office.
Perhaps because the whispers of the star core were no longer in her ears, her eyes became clearer.
Looking at the photos on the desktop.

March 7th.
Danheng.
Walter.
as well as……
Xiyao.
"You made the wrong choice~"
"Great Guardian~"
"Oh, correction."
"It's... the Great Guardian who's been bewitched by the Star Core!"
A stranger's voice rang out in the empty office.
Cocolia was immediately startled.
"Who?"
The next second, a black-haired, blue-eyed girl with twin ponytails appeared in front of her.
"Xiyao..."
Cocolia looked solemn.
The girl in front of me is no ordinary person; she was able to appear here without my noticing!
Is it wrong?
Cocolia was not flustered by Xiyao's appearance, nor did she order anyone to arrest her. Instead, she explained why she did it.
"But I don't think there's anything wrong with my choice."
"Belloberg's resources are now almost exhausted."
"Instead of waiting for death, it's better to fight for that seemingly slim hope."
"Wouldn't sealing the star core completely solve the problem?"
"So, you don't actually believe we can seal the star core, right?"
"I understand the terror of the star core better than anyone else."
"For seven hundred years, the builders have never given up their research on the star core, hoping to seal it and end this disaster."
"But they all failed!"
"And why should I believe you have a way to deal with the star core?"
"Why should I give up Belloberg's only remaining hope for your sake?"
Upon hearing Cocolia's question, Xi Yao smiled slightly.
"Why don't you guess why it's stopped communicating with you?"
Cocolia: ? ? ? !!!
How did she know that my communication with the star core had been interrupted?
Could it be that she did it?
Cocolia was confused.
She didn't know whether she should be happy or desperate.
There were two voices in her mind.
A voice told her that the star core was gone, and there was no hope left for Beloborg.
Another voice says: The star core has been sealed, and Beloberg is safe.
Unsure which to believe, she could only ask with trepidation:
"You... destroyed the star core?"
No, not at all.
"..."
"If you truly possess the ability to seal the star core, and now you've found it."
"Then why did you come looking for me?"
"You don't need my help at all, do you?"
Cocolia didn't understand.
Why?
Xi Yao tilted her head and thought for a moment before smiling and saying:
"Probably because...it's fun?"
Cocolia: ...
Fun?
Are you kidding me!
What kind of outrageous reason is this?
The girl in front of me didn't seem very reliable no matter how I looked at it.
Cocolia asked herself honestly, she couldn't entrust Belloberg's future to her.
"I'm afraid I still can't..."
Before he could finish speaking, Xi Yao interrupted him.
"I'm sorry, Ms. Cocolia."
"I think you're mistaken about one thing."
"Now that I'm here, do you think you have a choice?"
"What do you mean?"
Cocolia's expression turned cold as she questioned him.
A cold smile appeared on Xi Yao's face.
She slowly walked to Cocolia's side and whispered in her ear:
"Ms. Cocolia, you wouldn't want anything to happen to your daughter, would you?"
Cocolia was startled for a moment, and a hint of panic appeared in her eyes.
"What do you want to do to Bronya?"
"What are you doing?"
Xi Yao revealed a wicked smile.
"Bronya is so innocent and adorable!"
"I can easily pretend to be a weak girl and make her completely unguarded in front of me."
"Even before she fell into a coma, she still thought I was a good person."
Xi Yao licked her lips, revealing a smile that seemed to indicate she wanted more.
"you!"
Cocolia hardened her fist.
You can bully her!
But hurting her daughter is unacceptable!
An extremely powerful aura erupted from her body, pressing down on Chao Xiyao.
The documents on the table were blown about by the strong wind, and the decorative vases in the room fell and shattered on the floor.
Even the pillars next to it started to crack.
If an ordinary person were standing here, they would probably have already taken flight.
However, faced with such a strong aura, Xi Yao simply smiled calmly.
It was as if a gentle breeze had just brushed against my face.
The next second, an even stronger aura erupted from her.
"boom!"
Cocolia's aura was instantly and brutally torn apart. She was then overwhelmed by the force of the aura and collapsed to the ground, her face filled with horror.
She's incredibly strong!
Is she really Empowering Brother?
The person who clearly wanted to harm Bronya was right in front of her, but she was completely powerless to do anything about it.
Cocolia was quite helpless at this moment.
A deep sense of powerlessness welled up inside me.
I can't do anything!
She clenched her fists and looked at Xi Yao with a face full of resentment.
If only the star core were still intact!
Seeing her actions, Xi Yao raised an eyebrow.
"What? You're not convinced?"
"Do you think that you're no match for me only because you've lost the power of the Star Core?"
"That's right!"
Xi Yao smiled slightly and snapped her fingers lightly.
A familiar connection appeared, and Cocolia sensed the presence of the star core once again.
Without any hesitation, Cocolia roared:
"Give me strength!"
"quick!"
However, the star core did not make any move.
Moreover, its whispers, which should have been full of temptation, were now filled with fear.
"Look, does it dare to give you power?"
Cocolia was dumbfounded.
How is that possible?
The star core is actually afraid!
Does she really have the ability to destroy the star core?
If that's really the case...
Should I still cooperate with Starcore?
Cocolia was somewhat confused.
I sensed that her resolve was wavering.
The star core is in a hurry.
Cocolia is its only ally.
If even she abandons it, then it will be completely alone.
It was just about to intensify its efforts to continue controlling Cocolia.
But how could Xi Yao give it that chance?
"Little Star Core, you've been naughty~"
Xi Yao smiled, her fate uncertain.
"This single finger strike pierces through the galaxy!"
"Snap!"
"Awooo~ Howling~"
It cracked!
It's going to crack!
If this continues, it will definitely break!
Tonic!
The star core felt that its defenses were extremely weak.
Xi Yao's fingers went straight for the heart of the matter, penetrating deeply...
If it doesn't stop soon, it will really crack physically.
Fortunately.
Xi Yao did not kill him.
She withdrew her finger and sealed the star core again.
after all,
This thing is still useful.
After dealing with the star core, Xi Yao slowly walked up to Cocolia.
"So, Ms. Cocolia, what is your answer?"
...
P.S.: Zao Shanghao! What about you?
