The Seventh Base

Chapter 689: Chapter 83: Ambush

The students of Lucas University ultimately failed to find Princess Elizabeth’s Guardian Knight.

How could they find him when Xu Mo didn’t show up?

Some even wondered if Princess Elizabeth’s Guardian Knight only moved about at night? The very thought made many feel as if their hearts were being torn apart, firmly rejecting this possibility.

Elizabeth discovered that not only was Xu Mo’s mind a little off, but his girlfriend was also not quite right. Every time she went to the Library, Xu Mo’s girlfriend would look at her as if she wanted to hack her with a sword, which made Elizabeth somewhat skeptical about the rumors circulating in the Library.

Could it be Xu Mo was secretly in love with her? Love turned into hate.

However, Elizabeth felt this story was a bit too melodramatic and still thought it unlikely. Xu Mo, the scumbag that he was, even if he had a secret crush on her, it would only be for her looks, and definitely not just her; he probably liked any and all beautiful women!

As time went by, this commotion gradually subsided, and fewer and fewer people talked about Elizabeth’s love life, although they would occasionally think of it when they saw her.

Today was a day off.

Ye Qingdie came to Lucas University to pick up Xu Mo.

Walking side by side out of the campus, Xu Mo and Zero attracted quite a few students’ gazes.

“Hi, Xu Mo,” a girl called out, waving at him and even winking.

Xu Mo ignored her, knowing these girls were always trying to trap him into making a mistake; he wasn’t about to be fooled.

The girls all smiled, having heard that Xu Mo had been beaten up some time ago and had taken several days off without his face having recovered, which said a lot about the severity of the beating.

He deserved it, though, having such a gorgeous girlfriend and still fancying Princess Elizabeth – what a scumbag.

If they were men with such an attractive girlfriend, they would never leave the house and just stay in to admire their partner.

The pair reached the entrance of Lucas University and boarded a Flying Device, where Ye Qingdie was waiting for them on board.

Seeing the two of them come on board, Ye Qingdie turned her head to look and revealed a smile that was both mocking and amiable. She had attended Princess Elizabeth’s birthday banquet.

“Zero, how has Xu Mo been performing lately?” Ye Qingdie asked with a smile as she looked towards Zero.

Zero glanced at Xu Mo beside him and said, “Not bad.”

“That’s good,” Ye Qingdie said, her smile broadening as the Flying Device sliced through the air, heading toward home.

“Sister Butterfly, how’s the company doing lately?” Xu Mo asked.

“Everything’s going smoothly. The S-level weapons we’ve developed are continually being promoted, and we’ve received numerous orders. The base is expanding, and production is being ramped up. Now, we hardly need to worry about Monster attacks, and the military personnel can be extensively involved in the construction of the base,” she said.

With advanced weapons at their disposal, and some members of the Divine Sword Bureau on site, Steel Dome City didn’t have to worry about Monster disturbances. Any powerful Monsters encountered in the ruins were quickly slain, and the Steel Dome City’s military effectively became constructors for the base.

“Additionally, the cooperation with both Carolan Star and Odin Mountain Star is constantly advancing, and our branches are under construction. The Sasi Kingdom has also made contact with us, and it’s their top military industrial group. They place significant importance on this partnership. They are considering a capital investment, and Ross is negotiating with them. Regarding the shares, we will need you to make a decision.”

Elizabeth and the other shareholders didn’t engage in the company’s operations.

“Hmm,” Xu Mo nodded, indicating that Sal was indeed making a move.

Moreover, the Sasi Kingdom must have seen the potential in Blue Star Energy Technology Group since they were interested in becoming equity investors.

However, holding shares could lead to better cooperation and open the Sasi Kingdom’s market.

The time had come for the Sorey Brothers to demonstrate their loyalty.

Capital investment could mean purchasing shares directly from them individually or investing directly in the group, diluting everyone’s shares simultaneously to provide a portion of them.

Upon returning to their estate, Mia and Elsa were already waiting for them; Xiao Qi and Shadow were busy at the company, with many matters requiring their assistance, leaving them no leisure time.

Mia and Elsa had prepared the meal and were, of course, overjoyed to see Xu Mo and Zero return.

“Xu Mo, Zero, have a seat,” Mia said with a smile. “Today, you’ll get to taste the cooking skills of Elsa and me.”

“You all don’t need to be so busy,” Xu Mo said, seeing how everyone was still bustling about.

Mia agreed, and they all took their places at the table.

“Sister Bai Wei, don’t be busy either, come eat with us,” Xu Mo called out to Bai Wei, who was still working. Since their time in the Underworld, Bai Wei had been following Mia and Yaoer, taking care of their daily lives, becoming a part of the family.

“It’s okay, you go ahead and eat,” Bai Wei replied, who wasn’t as young as before, but had been very content with her life these past years.

Years ago in the Underworld, she had almost been sold by her gambling-addict father and met Xu Mo at the Casino; later, Miss Mia took her in. During the upheaval in the Underworld, she followed Miss Mia and Master Batu as they wandered, later enduring many hardships.

These major events seemed unrelated to her, but because of Xu Mo, she experienced them firsthand, watching Xu Mo grow step by step to where he was now.

Seeing Bai Wei was still busy, Xu Mo did not insist further.

“Yaoer, have you been behaving lately?” Xu Mo asked, looking at Xu Yao.

“Brother, ask Sister Mia,” Yaoer said.

“Yaoer has been very good,” Mia added. “It’s you who shouldn’t cause any more trouble at school.”

“Mia, do you really trust me so little?” Xu Mo said in exasperation.

“You’ve always been up to no good,” Mia said, smiling. “Wait until Zero graduates, and then you two get married. Elsa and I will be your bridesmaids.”
