Chapter 153: Chapter 153: All Tactics Converted Expert
Looking at the fatty beef slices in his bowl, Ivana immediately widened his eyes and looked toward Van.
'You old man, you set me up?!'
Immediately after, Ivana felt the gazes of all the women present turning toward him. Facing such sharp gazes, Ivana instantly felt a chill down his back, cold sweat pouring out.
'Too terrifying. So this is what that guy Van's daily life is like?! As expected, the ancients did not deceive me. If you want to open a harem, you must first suffer your will, exhaust your muscles and bones, starve your skin and body...'
'Leave your body empty, go against and disturb all your actions.'
Thinking of this, Ivana also slowly started to understand why that guy Van didn't dare to casually make promises to them.
Just then, as Ivana was preparing to play dead silently and get through this, Van next to him smiled with squinted eyes and spoke again.
"Right, Ivana, didn't you just say you have no place to stay in Shenzhou and want to live at my place? I think this idea of yours is pretty good..."
As Van's words just fell, a crisp sound rang out on the dining table.
Crack!
Everyone looked toward the sound, turns out Mobius had accidentally snapped the chopsticks in her hand.
Looking at Mobius, who was about to emit black aura all over, the brat Ivana finally panicked. Thinking of Mobius's glorious past battle records, Ivana frantically gave Van eye signals.
'Good grief, you old man! How can you slander my innocence out of nowhere! When did I ever say I wanted to live with you?!'
Van raised his brows and responded silently. 'What, you're allowed to trip me up, but I'm not allowed to fight back?'
Ivana, 'Are you crazy?! Aren't you afraid of getting macheted???'
Van, 'Hahahaha, even if they want to machete me, they'll slash you first before that!'
Ivana, 'You *******!'
Van, 'This wave is called total tactical conversion, understand?'
Ivana, 'Dead'
Feeling the sharp gazes around him, Ivana knew that no matter how he explained, the others would not believe him anymore.
Just as she didn't know what to do, the phone in her pocket suddenly rang.
Ivana picked it up to see, and a familiar push notification appeared before her eyes.
[Your specially followed UP host @MiHoYo's Number One Idol Ai-chan has updated! Come watch now!]
Seeing this, Ivana shouted as if granted amnesty, "Look quickly! Ai-chan updated a new Honkai 3rd video!!!"
Opening the video, the familiar barrage of bullet comments came into view.
[I'm here! First!]
[Hurry, start eating!]
[I'll go first, Van, I miss you!]
[I bet one pack of spicy sticks this video will definitely stab Van]
[Damn, I'll put up ten packs of spicy sticks to stab you first!]
[Speaking of which, I just watched the previous episode yesterday, but why does it feel like it's already been several days]
———
Along with the overwhelming barrage, the video officially began to play.
The video plot picks up from the previous episode.
When Kiana and the others were still immersed in the warm atmosphere of reunion, a cold voice suddenly interrupted this rare gathering.
Everyone looked toward the sound, memory Van was standing on a cliff not far away, looking down at them from above.
"The family reunion scene is over, right? It's time to make an end."
Memory Van's appearance instantly tensed everyone's nerves.
Fu Hua was the first to react and immediately questioned, "What are you doing here now?"
"Doing the things I left unfinished." Memory Van said coldly.
Hearing this, Fu Hua's heart tightened and she shouted loudly, "Even now, do you still want to take the Herrscher core inside Kiana?!"
Memory Van didn't answer Fu Hua. Then, his figure suddenly disappeared. In the blink of an eye, he appeared beside Bronya.
Van immediately blocked in front of Bronya, swinging his sword to attack.
Clang!
At the instant the blades collided, a massive shockwave howled forth, blasting Bronya off to the side.
Blocking memory Van's attack, Van took the chance to retreat back to the group, solemnly reminding, "Be careful, his target isn't just Kiana alone, but all Herrschers present!"
Hearing this, Bronya's eyes were full of post-crisis relief.
If Van hadn't blocked in front of her in time just now, the consequences would've been unimaginable.
As the plot developed to this point, people in the real world began to roast Black Van for not fighting honorably.
———
[This Black Van is way too underhanded, even ambushes?]
[This clearly was premeditated.]
[Exactly. This timing is too perfect. Hard not to think that way.]
[Then what now? Fu Hua just used Taixu Sword God and is in a weakened state. Kiana and the rest are injured too. How to fight this raid group?]
———
[Back to the Video]
Upon hearing Van say that the other party's goal was her Herrscher core, Ivana instantly exploded, "Still daring to think about my core? Watch me beat you up!"
Since everything happened so fast, by the time everyone reacted, Ivana had already charged forward.
She thrust her spear straight toward memory Van's face, but he easily dodged. Before Ivana could change her move, the opponent's attack descended like a storm.
Ivana was forced to defend and instantly fell into disadvantage.
Seeing this, Kiana decisively joined the battlefield to assist Ivana. With a wave of her hand, dozens of subspace spears shot out, aiming at memory Van.
At the same time, Bronya summoned Heavy Bunny and started shelling memory Van.
Memory Van first dodged the shelling with a sidestep. Then, swinging the longsword in his hand, he slashed all the subspace spears apart.
Ivana seized the chance to rush up again, and the two clashed once more.
After several exchanges, Ivana was caught by memory Van in a moment of vulnerability and was punched flying.
However, before Ivana could land, memory Van had already chased after. The sword's cold glint flashed as he stabbed directly toward Ivana's chest.
If this strike landed, even if Ivana didn't die, she would be seriously injured.
At that critical moment, Van once again flashed in front of Ivana, firmly blocking this fatal strike.
Seeing his attack get repeatedly interrupted by the other party, memory Van's expression darkened.
"Mere Feather Dust, you really think I can't deal with you?"
"You can try."
Van's tone was still calm, but if observed closely, faint glowing points were dispersing from his sleeve.
[Holy crap! This plot is going wild!]
[This camera language clearly shows that Van is now at his last strength.]
[No!! We finally got a reunion scene of Van and Kiana and the others, and now you're separating them again?!]
[miHoYo writers, do you not know how to write plot unless you abuse Van?!]
