The Seventh Base

Chapter 688: Chapter 82: Where Have I Offended You?_2

Byron Star would not get involved in this muddled situation; their power on Lucas Star was too weak, and even if they acquired it, they couldn’t digest it. This was not Byron Star.

“How is the development of Blue Star Energy Technology Group going?” Nanming Huowu asked.

“Since this year, Blue Star Energy Technology Group began transitioning to selling weapons equipment. According to known orders, their value has already reached several hundred billion. The outside valuation of Blue Star Energy Technology Group has already reached several trillion, and it will be a huge entity in the future. Furthermore, the official statement from Blue Star Energy Technology Group says that they will continue to develop higher-level weapon systems,” the middle-aged man explained.

Blue Star Energy Technology Group was a company, and this information was all public, not hard to find.

“A market value of several trillions!”

Nanming Huowu was briefly lost in thought, and Li Zelong also gasped in astonishment.

“This is just the beginning phase for Blue Star Energy Technology Group. Among their shareholders are royal family members from other planets; if their influence continues to expand in the future, trillions might just be the beginning, and they could possibly become a super technology group of the Star System Alliance,” the middle-aged man continued.

“This is the wealth that top-tier technology can bring. Such technology should be controlled by the planets themselves, otherwise, it can easily attract covetousness. Xu Mo understands this, which is why he attracted Princess and Prince to invest, making it a lot safer. But even so, with Xu Mo leading the Byron Star technical team holding more than twenty percent of the shares, this is still a terrifying figure.”

Nanming Huowu was speechless, remembering the youth who once was in Steel Dome City, recalling his first visit to the Nanming Family.

Recalling these moments now felt as though centuries had passed.

Xu Mo had already stepped out from his planet, and had made his own mark in Lucas Star.

He lacked neither wealth nor strength, and he was still rapidly growing, after all, Xu Mo was only in his early twenties.

What Xu Mo lacked was just status.

How far could he go in the future?

“Let the people of Camp Star take care of this matter, you don’t need to handle it anymore,” the middle-aged man continued, Li Zelong and Nanming Huowu nodded and then left the place.

She wondered what it would have been like if her father hadn’t stood opposed to Xu Mo back then?

But, many things were already destined.

The Federation Government betrayed Byron Star, brought in alien planet forces, the Li family defected to the aliens, while Xu Mo had fled in defeat with the people from the Divine Sword Bureau.

All of this was already predetermined; they stood on absolutely opposing sides, whether it was the events in Steel Dome City or everything in Chuanxing City, there was no room for turning back.

No matter how extraordinary Xu Mo was, how much of a pity it was back then, it was meaningless.

They couldn’t let him continue to grow.

Xu Mo was better off dead, she might sigh at that, but it was the best outcome.

They must look forward.

…

Xu Mo had taken a few days off, and the students in the Library were curious where Xu Mo had gone.

After all, except for the day Nilo came, they remembered Xu Mo was always in the Library reading.

His sudden disappearance was somewhat strange.

Could it be that Xu Mo really had a secret crush on Princess Elizabeth? Was he caught by Zero and then severely beaten up?

Elizabeth also returned to school, causing a lot of attention. Many even followed whether Elizabeth had any dates, but they all found nothing.

That day, Xu Mo finally returned to the Library.

“Xu Mo, what happened to your face?” Xu Mo had just returned to the Library after taking a few days off, so the students were particularly attentive and noticed that there seemed to be a bruise on Xu Mo’s face.

“I accidentally bumped into something,” Xu Mo said.

“Bumped into something?” A girl was puzzled, could a bump be that severe?

Xu Mo was a Transcendent; his physical condition was very strong, ordinary force could not harm him.

Obviously, Xu Mo was lying.

“You weren’t secretly in love with Princess Elizabeth and got beaten up by Zero, were you?” the girl whispered.

“You don’t understand my familial status,” Xu Mo scoffed.

“I understand,” the girl said laughing and walked away.

At that moment, two figures came storming over.

They approached Xu Mo, their demeanor aggressive; he still dared to come back.

Xu Mo glared back at them.

“Let’s talk outside,” Xu Mo said.

“Okay.” Ize and Carter nodded, and the three of them walked out of the Library to a quiet and deserted spot by the Library wall.

“How do you explain this?” Ize looked at Xu Mo and said.

“You still have the nerve to speak?” Xu Mo angrily looked at both of them.

“???” Ize and Carter looked at Xu Mo, wondering who was actually accusing whom.

“What were you doing when Princess Elizabeth announced her relationship?” Xu Mo demanded, “You knew she was lying, so why let the trouble fall on me?”

“???” Ize and Carter looked at the furious Xu Mo.

“As brothers, shouldn’t you have done something at that time?” Xu Mo pointed to his own face, “Look at this!”

“Uh!” Ize and Carter looked at Xu Mo’s face.

“And look at this.” Xu Mo rolled up his sleeve, “Do you want to see more?”

“Now my girlfriend won’t talk to me; she wants to break up with me.” Xu Mo looked at both of them and said, “Tell me, I’m innocent, isn’t this partly your fault?”

“Why is it our fault?” Ize was full of questions.

“If you had put in some effort and won Elizabeth over, or clarified things yesterday, would we be in this situation?” Xu Mo said, “What did I do to deserve this mess?”

“If my girlfriend breaks up with me, I’ll go after Princess Elizabeth,” Xu Mo said angrily.

Ize: “…”

Carter: “…”

“We do bear some responsibility, but now is not the time to talk about this. Now that Princess Elizabeth has gone public, what should we do?” Carter finally spoke.

Ize nodded in agreement; it seemed they had forgotten they came to accuse him!

“Princess Elizabeth’s boyfriend is her Guardian Knight, what does that have to do with me, Xu Mo?” Xu Mo asked them.

Both stared momentarily, their expressions odd, wondering if Xu Mo meant he wouldn’t acknowledge it anymore?

It seemed that was the only choice.

“Keep it up, win over Princess Elizabeth soon, and clear my name,” Xu Mo told the ‘brothers’, patting their shoulders, then headed back to the library.

Ize and Carter were scolded by Xu Mo, reflected for a moment, and realized, indeed, it was their fault.

Why didn’t Princess Elizabeth choose them to act as her shield?

In the distance, a figure appeared. Ize and Carter paused, then walked over.

“What are you doing here?” Princess Elizabeth asked. This was her first visit to the library since returning to school, ready to switch out some books.

“Reading,” Ize said.

Princess Elizabeth glanced at Ize’s hands, “Where’s the book?”

“Uh… just browsing,” Ize replied.

“Hmm,” Princess Elizabeth nodded, “I’ll borrow a few books.”

Saying this, she walked toward the library.

The relationship between Ize and Carter seemed to be improving, which left Princess Elizabeth quite relieved. She had always regarded them as good friends and understood their intentions, but such matters could not be forced.

Upon entering the library, Princess Elizabeth attracted quite a bit of attention and went straight for Xu Mo.

Xu Mo looked up, and Princess Elizabeth, observing his face, asked, “What’s wrong with you?”

“You still have the nerve to ask…” Xu Mo cursed inwardly, though of course, he couldn’t say that out loud.

“Nothing much,” Xu Mo said nonchalantly, and Princess Elizabeth sensed a certain coldness from him, but his temper had always been odd, and she couldn’t grasp it.

“I want to find a few books to read, help me look,” Princess Elizabeth continued.

“I’m busy,” Xu Mo replied.

“Did I offend you in some way?” Princess Elizabeth felt that Xu Mo seemed annoyed at her, which she found quite odd.

How did she offend him?

Xu Mo thought bitterly, I help you with your cultivation, give you shares, and you want to be my girlfriend??

Impossible.

Seeing that Xu Mo ignored her, Princess Elizabeth went to find the books herself.

Is Xu Mo not quite right in the head?
