The Overlord of Teyvat: Genshin Impact x Overlord crossover

Part 11

Momon had set aside the mission of locating Aether and Paimon, confident that the Millelith were no longer pursuing them and that they were safely hidden somewhere in the city.

He now sat at a table with Ningguang, Keqing, and an elderly man known as Uncle Tian. Ganyu was there as well, along with Ningguang's servants, and to his surprise, Yelan had also joined the gathering.

All eyes were on Momon, their expressions tense and filled with alarm. The Honorary Knight from Mondstadt had just confirmed what many had dismissed as outrageous rumors—the Dark Warrior, Momon, was indeed an extraordinarily powerful individual.

Keqing's voice carried a tense undertone as she addressed the table, her eyes focused on Momon. "The situation is dire, and the citizens are growing more and more desperate to know if Rex Lapis is truly dead. We are doing everything we can to uncover who is responsible for this crime, but the pressure is mounting."

Momon leaned back slightly, his masked face unreadable. "You think the citizens will stay calm once they hear the truth?"

Ningguang, her expression composed but serious, answered, "The truth will be a double-edged sword. If we reveal that Rex Lapis has fallen, the city might spiral into chaos. But withholding the truth for too long will only breed distrust and panic. We must be strategic in our approach."

"May I speak?" Yelan asked, her voice sharp. Ningguang gave a nod of approval. "Momon..."

Momon could sense the disdain in Yelan's gaze and had a feeling he knew where this was headed.

"It seems trouble follows you wherever you go... First at Dihua Marsh, where you nearly killed Adeptus Xiao, and now here in Liyue Harbor. I need to know—did you eliminate a team of ten men at Wangshu Inn?" Yelan's voice was steady, but there was an edge to her words.

Momon leaned back slightly. "Hmm... Ah, those men. Yes, that was me."

"Why?" Yelan pressed, her tone hardening.

"Before my encounter with that Adeptus, some Treasure Hoarders tried to rob us, so we dealt with them. Later, at Wangshu Inn, I noticed we were being followed and assumed they had come back for revenge, so I... took care of them," Momon explained nonchalantly.

Yelan's anger flared. She had been observing all night, yet somehow, he had obliterated her team without her even noticing. How is that possible? she fumed inwardly.

Yelan's eyes narrowed as she processed Momon's admission. Her fists clenched beneath the table, the frustration and anger evident on her face. "You obliterated my team without so much as a second thought," she said, her voice taut with restrained fury. "And you did it without even confirming who they were."

Momon's expression remained calm, but his tone carried a hint of indifference. "I acted based on the information I had at the time. They were following us, and given the situation, I took action. If they were truly your men, then that's unfortunate."

Ningguang, observing the exchange, interjected to diffuse the tension. "Yelan, it's clear that Momon's capabilities are far beyond ordinary. While we need to address these incidents, we must also focus on the larger threat facing Liyue. Our immediate concern should be the stability of the city and how we address the situation with Rex Lapis."

Ganyu, still processing the information, nodded in agreement. "Indeed. We must find a way to handle both the unrest among the citizens and the potential conflict with the Adepti. This is not the time for internal disputes."

Yelan glanced at Ningguang, then back at Momon. "Next time, there won't be any misunderstandings," she said, her voice low but carrying a clear warning.
