The Seventh Base

Chapter 687: Chapter 82: Where Have I Offended You?

After Elizabeth’s birthday party, the news on Lucas Star was dominated by stories about the Princess’s Guardian Knight.

Lucas University was in an uproar, vowing to leave no stone unturned in finding him.

Royal Castle.

In Elizabeth’s room, she lounged on her bed in a nightgown, clutching a pillow, her usual regal aura replaced by the casual indolence of an ordinary girl. Yet, the languid pose and the graceful curves of her body were still strikingly beautiful.

She was watching the news, which was filled with stories about her. Elizabeth suddenly regretted her impulsive act, even though she hadn’t admitted anything, everyone assumed it was him.

She wondered if he would blame her for this.

Yet, she hadn’t considered how this might affect her own reputation; in her heart, she didn’t mind it. Born into royalty, she was naturally noble. People outside the Royal Family treated her with the utmost respect. Besides her parents, she didn’t have to admire anyone else.

But after meeting him, she found herself filled with admiration.

Elizabeth hoped this wouldn’t cause him any trouble.

Unknown to Elizabeth, ‘he’ was currently in big trouble, caught in the midst of a storm.

Meanwhile, in another part of the Lucas Capital, the Byron Star Embassy:

All information related to Xu Mo from Byron Star was being gathered, along with all the data on Blue Star Energy Technology Group.

Li Zelong and Nanming Huowu were both present.

They found that the known shareholders of Blue Star Energy Technology Group included Ross, Elizabeth, Ize, Carter, Sorey, Yekaterina, and a mysterious technical team.

Apart from the technical team that had not shown itself, the identities of the others were known; President Ross was a Tard, and the rest were either royals or top-tier nobles.

Ye Qingdie, who had appeared alongside Ross the day before, was the president’s assistant.

Li Zelong and Nanming Huowu were certain: where Ye Qingdie was, Xu Mo had to be there too.

He must be connected to Blue Star Energy Technology Group.

After reviewing all the information, Li Zelong and Nanming Huowu were now watching battles happening in the Mechanical God Arena on the screen. There was a Mechanical Master known by the codename ‘Hunter’ whose Combat Power was terrifying.

“It’s Xu Mo!”

Having watched several battles, Nanming Huowu was sure. The codename ‘Hunter’ was one Xu Mo had used before.

Of course, a codename alone was not enough to confirm anything. The world was huge, and many people shared codenames. ‘Hunter’ was a very common one. If it hadn’t been for the investigation into Blue Star Energy Technology, they wouldn’t have paid attention to a codename associated with ‘Hunter’.

But the key was knowing Xu Mo must be within Blue Star Energy Technology. Then, considering these battles:

Mecha, War Saber!

Incredible neural response speed, masterful control of the Mecha.

This was his way of fighting at his best.

With what Nanming Huowu knew about Xu Mo, she could almost be certain it was him, even without the ‘Hunter’ codename. But the codename increased the certainty.

Li Zelong also realized it, and they both felt it was somewhat surreal.

This was not Byron Star, but the capital of Lucas Star. Xu Mo had already made a name for himself, claiming the first place in Super God Mechanical Battle and defeating the elites of the Royal Knights.

“The weapons of Blue Star Energy Technology Group may have been developed from the technology obtained from the Deep Sea,” Li Zelong suggested. “He has brought the entire technical team to Lucas Star and became a shareholder in Blue Star Energy Technology Group. He’s part of it now.”

Li Zelong’s guess was very close to the truth, but he surmised that Xu Mo and the technical team were one and the same, holding shares together.

This explained why Xu Mo represented Blue Star Energy Technology Group in battle and why Ye Qingdie was the president’s assistant.

They had done similar things on Byron Star, where Xu Mo represented Stark Group.

“So, Xu Mo has acquired the technology of the Deep Sea Civilization and brought it to Lucas Star to develop,” said a middle-aged man by his side. The team from Byron Star had tried and failed to enter the Deep Sea multiple times. They had been searching for Xu Mo and the Divine Sword Bureau, to no avail.

To their surprise, they had fled Byron Star and come to the capital of Lucas Star.

Moreover, they had taken the technology with them and developed it to a certain scale.

“What should we do?” someone asked.

“With shareholders like Elizabeth and other princes and princesses, our power in Lucas Star is likely insufficient. This is a matter the Byron Star Federation should not interfere with; let Camp Star and Krusu Star handle it. These planets also have substantial military forces on Lucas Star and can mobilize considerable resources,” the middle-aged man declared. Byron Star’s influence on Lucas Star was too weak.

In the past two years, Camp Star and others have been desperate to acquire Deep Sea Civilization technology. They sent warships to Byron Star and had their armies stationed there, incurring vast expenses and paying a high price. Their target was the technology of the Deep Sea Civilization, but they gained nothing and ended up venting their anger on Byron Star, exploiting it ruthlessly.

Now that they had finally found Xu Mo and the technology had emerged, whether they could seize it was up to them.
