Chapter 182

Topaz: "What's the rush?"

Topaz: "Hasn't my time to shine arrived yet?"

Topaz: "It's all just a small scene — just watch me perform!"

Stelle: "Tch, you're quite confident, aren't you?"

Stelle: "Then let's see how you turn things around."

Dr. Ratio: "Foolish gambler — don't try to puff yourself up beyond your weight."

Topaz: "Relax, everything is under my control! (confident. jpg)"

The video continues.

【Your complexion doesn't look too good.】

【Let me confirm — is it me that's making you anxious?】

【... If not, then I'm on your side.】

Sunday's accusatory attitude,

didn't frighten Topaz in the slightest.

He began trying to steer the situation toward a position favorable to himself.

【If I'm not mistaken, your words just now... amount to an extremely serious accusation against the "Family."】

Though Topaz spoke very implicitly,

with Sunday's intellect,

he immediately understood the hidden meaning in his words.

【You're right, you haven't misunderstood — because evil is quietly sprouting right beside you.】

【No need for us to beat around the bush — let's talk about your sister.】

【Your sister's talent in the entertainment world is second to none, but as you know, ever since returning to Penacony, her voice has been rather... "off-key."】

【What's worse, she can no longer sing at all now.】

【Who did it?】

【Everyone thinks the culprit is among the outsiders, but I know...】

【You have another answer in your heart.】

【Now, your noble status has become a shackle, preventing you from striking out to capture the culprit and avenge your sister.】

【You're isolated and without help — that's why you feel so restless.】

【But don't worry, I'm on your side.】

Topaz, in complete control,

spotted Sunday's weak spot,

and began preparing to get a grip on Sunday.

Hu Tao: "Amazing!"

Hu Tao: "In just a few words, he turned the situation around and put himself in a favorable position!"

Zhong Li: "Reason with him, move him with emotion — so-called negotiation is nothing more than this."

Venti: "Ehehe, those few words from Mr. Topaz struck right at Mr. Sunday's heart!"

Furina: "At this point, Mr. Sunday's attitude should soften too, right?"

Furina: "After all, what Topaz said really does make a lot of sense."

Lumine: "Mr. Sunday must really want to avenge his sister..."

Lumine: "Based on this point, he might actually compromise."

March 7th: "In other words, Mr. Sunday will still get taken down."

Sangonomiya Kokomi: "There's no helping it."

Sangonomiya Kokomi: "When it involves the death of one's own sister, just as Mr. Topaz said earlier, Mr. Sunday simply can't keep his composure."

Seele: "Sigh — a fatal flaw, and Topaz slipped right through the gap."

Boothill: "Hey, I don't think Topaz will have it that easy."

Boothill: "The Company's dogs are tough to deal with, but the Family isn't just sitting around eating dry rice either!"

Boothill: "Saying something no one dares to say — the Harmony's forces have always been devilishly powerful!"

Boothill: "What they call being of one mind — well, that treasure of theirs is no joke with you lot!"

Boothill: "Anyone who believes in the Harmony might as well have been brainwashed."

Brother Dan Heng: "Indeed, the Harmony's ideology is far too broad... they include everything, accept everything."

Brother Dan Heng: "Even the Company cannot afford to underestimate the Harmony's forces."

Welt: "Under normal circumstances, the Company certainly couldn't shake the Family's position in Penacony."

Welt: "But now... a traitor has apparently appeared within the Family!"

Welt: "Within the Family of Harmony, discordant notes have already appeared... and this gave Topaz his most crucial stepping stone!"

Topaz: "Exactly — this is the biggest opportunity right now!"

Topaz: "If the Family were of one mind, a solid block, even if I gave it everything I've got, I couldn't punch a hole the size of a nail."

Topaz: "But with the Family having problems internally — now that truly is heaven helping me!"

Himeko: "So who exactly is the traitor within the Family?"

Himeko: "Does Mr. Sunday have any leads at present?"

Sunday: "....."

Sunday: "Unfortunately, no leads for now."

Robin: "Brother, if it really won't work, should we report it to the Dreammaster?"

Robin: "With the Harmony Grand Ceremony approaching, the family absolutely cannot afford any more mishaps!"

Sunday: "Currently, we still cannot reach the Dreammaster."

Topaz: "Can't reach him?"

Topaz: "What a pity. I was actually quite looking forward to meeting that Dreammaster."

Dr. Ratio: "Based on my personal intuition, you'd best not go asking for trouble."

Dr. Ratio: "That mysterious Dreammaster... may well be no ordinary being!"

Topaz: "Oh?"

Topaz: "Then I'm even more eager to meet him!"

Topaz: "After all... the greater the risk... the greater the reward..."

Topaz: "At worst it's just one life, isn't it, heh?"

Topaz: "You mad gambler — you're truly beyond saving!"

Furina: "Gambling with your life?!"

Furina: "Have you gone this mad?"

Keqing: "Such talk of not cherishing oneself is deeply unpleasant."

Sparkle: "If he wants to gamble, just let him~"

Sparkle: "He's not even worried, so what are you all getting worked up for~"

Sparkle: "Just respect him and wish him well, that's all~"

Sparkle: "What if you talk him out of gambling?"

Sparkle: "Then how am I supposed to watch his life-risking performance? Hehe~"

Stelle: "Hey, you up there, mind your tone!"

March 7th: "Miss Sparkle, please be a decent person!"

Sampo: "I, old Sampo, strongly condemn this kind of cold-commentary behavior!"

Sparkle: "Yo yo yo, getting worked up, getting worked up — you all worked up?"

Stelle: "Worked up, worked up, I'm so worked up — worked up enough to smack your butt hard!"

Sparkle: "Oh my, my butt is very delicate, it can't take a smack from you~"

Stelle: "For real? Then I'll have to give it a try!"

March 7th: "???"

March 7th: "Why does it feel like someone's driving??"

Silver Wolf: "The wheels just rolled right over my face — that's driving!"
