The Seventh Base

This is a sad story.

Xu Mo didn't dare to speak.

He looked at Zero, feeling that Zero had changed. Could Zero's mother say such a thing? He didn't believe it.

However, while he thought so in his heart, he couldn't say it out loud.

Zero cannot lose.

"Alright, whenever Mom says is fine," Xu Mo responded. Only then did Zero seem somewhat satisfied, casting a threatening glance at Princess Elizabeth—this woman was not right.

She actually invited Xu Mo to her home for a meal???

"Princess Elizabeth, His Majesty the King, does he know about me?" Xu Mo asked timidly.

"Probably," Elizabeth glanced at Xu Mo and Zero, cursing in her heart, scumbags!

Putting on a performance in front of her, she should have her father arrest them too.

She was also frustrated. At the birthday banquet, she had merely wanted to find an excuse to stop people from setting her up, never anticipating that rambling a few words would lead to Xu Mo being the one in the end.

And now, it had been exposed...

It had caught her father, King Richard's attention. Now, she couldn't just tell her father that Xu Mo actually had a girlfriend and that it was just a joke.

She was afraid her father would kill Xu Mo.

After all, Xu Mo had stirred up a significant incident this time; the populace had besieged the Lucas Star Federation Government, and public opinion was very detrimental to the government's image. At this moment, Xu Mo needed an amulet.

Now, probably many people were watching him.

"Since it is just an invitation to a meal, there should be no ill intentions," Xu Mo thought to himself and whispered to Elizabeth, "Should we delay for now?"

Elizabeth glanced at Xu Mo.

"I need to find a chance to explain to His Majesty the King," Xu Mo continued, Everyone at Lucas University knows about my relationship with Zero. Making King Richard think that I'm playing with two hearts, manipulating Princess Elizabeth's emotions... Xu Mo feared he would meet a horrible end. On Lucas Star, if King Richard wanted to kill him, nobody could save him.

"Hmm," Elizabeth looked at him coldly and then stood up to leave.

After she left, Xu Mo shivered and turned towards Zero.

"She doesn't seem happy," Zero observed Xu Mo with her eyes wide open.

"Cough cough..." Xu Mo reached out, holding Zero's soft hand, "Princess Elizabeth is just trying to provoke you, can't you see, Zero?"

"Is that so? She deliberately irritated me and wants you to come home for dinner; it sounds so warm," Zero's beautiful eyes fixated on Xu Mo.

"....." Xu Mo realized that Zero really had changed and was not so easily reassured now.

Zero's mother shouldn't have sent Zero to school; it's made her bad, not the simple girl she used to be.

But then again, the invite from King Richard for dinner, that's not his problem!

Who knew that Princess Elizabeth would stage such a scene at her birthday party? He had already taken a beating, wasn't that enough?

Outstanding people are so prone to getting hurt.

Xu Mo reached out, laying his hand on Zero's head, gently stroking her silver hair as he gazed at Zero with affection.

"Hm?" Zero, somewhat uncomfortable with Xu Mo's tender gaze, wondered what he was up to.

"Silly girl," Xu Mo said softly, smiling brightly, "My girlfriend is so pretty."

Zero blinked.

Let it go, forgive him!

......

Byron Star, Chuanxing City.

These days, Chuanxing City had been experiencing turmoil. Although the public unrest had been suppressed, everyone could sense an undertow of tension. The Federation's populace's anger towards the aliens had reached a tipping point, and the Federation Government had no doubt that if there were enough military forces, the populace would collectively rebel.

At that moment, a starship appeared in the skies above Chuanxing City, causing countless people to look up and tremble inside.

Another starship had appeared. Could it be the Divine Sword Bureau's peope?

This time, however, the starship headed directly towards the Byron Star Federation Government and descended in front of the President's Mansion, leaving the people of Chuanxing City deeply disappointed. It seemed to be from the Federation Government.

The starship's hatch opened, and a group of people descended. The President's Mansion, with President Conrad at the forefront, came out to personally receive the Federation Government officials and several alien representatives who had evidently been informed beforehand.

The leader, clad in military attire, appeared quite young, probably in his early thirties, with short hair and a straight posture indicative of a soldier. His sharp eyes surveyed the crowd below.

"I am General Gilson of the Lucas Star Federation," the man announced, indeed none other than General Gilson.

"General Gilson, I am President Conrad of the Byron Star Federation," Conrad stepped forward to shake hands with Gilson, and after a brief exchange of pleasantries, they introduced each other.

"Please give me a detailed introduction to the Deep Sea Civilization," Gilson said.

"We have prepared the information for General Gilson," Conrad led Gilson into the President's Mansion.

Originally, when the disturbance occurred on Byron Star, there had been some unrest on Lucas Star as well, due to rumors of an ancient civilization's relics appearing. However, the higher-ups on Lucas Star hadn't been too concerned since Byron Star was just a peripheral planet, and even if relics were found, the level of civilization might not be very high. Only if there were precise reports would they pay more attention.

This time, due to Field, the Lucas Star Federation had decided to come and investigate.

The news of Gilson's arrival at the Byron Star Federation Government quickly reached the underground base in Steel Dome City.

Moreover, Gilson would join forces with Byron Star in another exploration of the Deep Sea Civilization.

Upon receiving the news, the underground base immediately informed the carrier.
