The Seventh Base

"Zero, there's something I need to tell you in advance," Xu Mo's voice came through, and Zero's gaze shifted to him.

Upon seeing those beautiful eyes, Xu Mo mustered his courage and said, "You already know about the attack on Byron Star Base. In that attack, our group's weapons caught the attention of Richard, and because of that, King Richard would like to invite me for a meeting."

"Oh," Zero nodded, "Just King Richard?"

"Huh?" Xu Mo was puzzled.

"Her," Zero inquired.

"Her?" Xu Mo feigned ignorance.

"That princess," Zero said.

"..." Xu Mo found Zero to be getting cuter by the moment. What did he mean by 'that princess'?

"Princess Elizabeth, as a shareholder and alumna, might attend this meeting as an intermediary," Xu Mo said.

"Might?" Zero's 'innocent' eyes looked at Xu Mo: "Who extended the invitation to you?"

Xu Mo blinked, then honestly said, "Elizabeth."

"Hmm." Zero nodded slightly, saying nothing further.

"That's it?" Xu Mo looked at Zero: "Do you have any instructions for me?"

"Instructions?" Zero looked at Xu Mo and shook his head, which made Xu Mo slightly suspicious whether there might be some kind of deceit.

"Brother Xu Mo," at that moment, Sorey and Yekaterina approached, with Sorey greeting him.

"Let's sit down and talk," Xu Mo said, looking towards Yekaterina, who then spoke up, "Carolan Star has a decommissioned warship that can be transferred to Blue Star Energy Technology Group. In addition, we can provide some weapon systems in advance. However, Blue Star Energy Technology Group will need to exchange them for equivalent weapons in the future and pay a certain interest."

"No problem, the people over there can negotiate the specifics with Ross," Xu Mo said. After the attack, Xu Mo began asking shareholders for weapon support and informed them of the group's latest research and combat footage. This way, the planets behind them could directly see the future potential of Blue Star Energy Technology Group.

They themselves could already independently produce superpower weapon systems. What that implied was clear to those planets.

Hence, Carolan Star had proposed a trading scheme, offering to lend some weapon systems to Blue Star Energy Technology Group in advance.

"Okay," Yekaterina nodded, "What about the others?"

"Sal's side can also provide a batch of weapon systems first, but getting a warship is more difficult," Xu Mo said, "As for Lucas Star, I wouldn't count on it, since King Richard wants to see me."

"King Richard," Yekaterina had a strong political sensitivity, and at this time, a meeting with Xu Mo was not a good sign. It was highly possible that he had some designs on Blue Star Energy Technology Group.

"So, will you go?" Yekaterina asked.

"Mm," Xu Mo nodded, he was on Lucas Star, so it was inevitable.

For the time being, Blue Star Energy Technology Group didn't have the strength to contend with the Lucas Star Federation Government.

...

A few days later, in the Golden Palace.

There were quite a few servants outside preparing for the banquet. The decorations were simple but very cozy, for today King Richard would be hosting guests here.

The guards and maids heard that King Richard's guests this time seemed to be Princess Elizabeth's boyfriend, which made them all very curious. What kind of outstanding young man could gain the favor of Princess Elizabeth and be invited by the King?

They would meet him very soon.

Now, a flying device landed outside, with someone leading the way in front while two figures followed behind, heading towards the Golden Palace. The guide stopped at the door while the two continued forward.

Many stole glances in that direction and saw Xu Mo and Elizabeth walking side by side, appearing to be a perfect match.

"So handsome," a maid thought, admiring Princess Elizabeth's taste; Xu Mo's handsomeness had a rugged charm, giving off a very comforting vibe.

At that moment, two figures emerged from inside... it was two princes, Prince Charlie and Prince Carey, both of whom Xu Mo had met before.

Carey was at Elizabeth's first birthday party, while Prince Charlie was at the time of the Royal Knights' recruitment.

However, Prince Carey rarely stayed at Lucas University, having not gone there much in the past year.

"We meet again," Prince Charlie approached with a smile, offering his hand to Xu Mo, saying.

Xu Mo also smiled and shook his hand, both of them smiling as if their relationship was very harmonious and friendly; their acting was of the highest caliber.

"First time we met was at the Library; back then, I had no idea that Lucas Library was hiding a genius librarian," Prince Charlie said with a smile. "Welcome to the Golden Palace."

"It's an honor to be invited here," Xu Mo responded with a smile.

"It seems that I am the only one who is not acquainted," two more figures appeared, King Richard and Madam Josephine walked out, side by side.

"Xu Mo has seen His Majesty the King, Madam," Xu Mo placed his right hand on his chest and bowed, a gesture of respect in line with the customs of Lucas Star.

"Today is a family banquet; there's no need for formality," King Richard appeared very benevolent, like an ordinary father, without any pretense, and Xu Mo could not feel the pressure that comes with being the King. However, this only made him more cautious around His Majesty.

Madam Josephine's gaze scrutinized Xu Mo, much like a mother-in-law examining her daughter's suitor, her eyes holding a gentle smile, very soft.
