The Seventh Base

If it had been in the past, Elizabeth could not have imagined seeking someone to impersonate her boyfriend, especially her taking the initiative. For someone who had always been extremely proud, this was almost an impossibility.

But it seemed that nothing in this world was eternal. Everything was changing, including people.

This time, she had set aside her pride and self-respect.

Xu Mo understood this point, knowing Elizabeth, this was not easy for her.

In this regard, if Elizabeth could become the heir to Lucas Star, it would be very beneficial for the development of the Blue Star Energy Technology Group and, in fact, Lucas Star might become a direct support for the group.

However, judging by today's dinner party, King Richard clearly preferred Charlie.

With Charlie inheriting the throne of Lucas Star and Elizabeth by his side controlling the Blue Star Energy Technology Group, the group would become a support for Lucas Star.

The relationship between Charlie and Elizabeth as siblings restored, with both parties having aligned interests, from King Richard's perspective, this indeed was a perfect outcome. After all, he was their father and naturally hoped to arrange things properly.

However, the Blue Star Energy Technology Group did not belong to Elizabeth and would not belong to Lucas Star. It was a group he had founded and even if he no longer needed it in the future, the inheritors would be a team from Byron Star. They had devoted their hearts to it and paid a price in blood.

Of course, if the Blue Star Energy Technology Group could continue to develop, it could always become a support for him.

Secondly, he did not see Charlie as a good type, and the conflicts between him and Charlie were not something that could be resolved with a meal and a few words.

How could over two hundred lives on the spaceship be accounted for?

In the future, even if he and Charlie were to call each other brothers, it was unlikely that Byron Star's military forces would continue to support him. What seems like no issue to King Richard was an impossible resolution for him.

Therefore, a conflict between him and Charlie was inevitable, and from any aspect, promoting Elizabeth to ascend was the most beneficial choice.

But the problem was, in a correct scenario, this was almost an impossible thing.

Elizabeth sat there silently, her mind in disarray. She had not expected to face such a choice so soon. Once her father acted against Xu Mo, a breakup could ensue. Where then should she go?

She wondered how long she could delay.

"If things change in the future, you should also leave Lucas Star," Elizabeth whispered to Xu Mo.

With Sal and Sorey's relationships, Xu Mo could develop well wherever he came from.

"Hmm," Xu Mo nodded, "It's not that time yet, perhaps there will be a turning point, or perhaps King Richard will realize that he is no longer interested in the Blue Star Energy Technology Group."

Elizabeth did not feel optimistic upon hearing Xu Mo's words; at today's dinner, her father had personally expressed his desire for a technology partnership, which actually meant wanting control over the core technology of the Blue Star Energy Technology Group. However, Xu Mo would definitely not agree.

Knowing Xu Mo, she knew he was not someone who would bow his head.

"Later on, let's go back together," Elizabeth said.

Xu Mo felt a bit odd hearing Elizabeth's words. Even if they were alone in Elizabeth's room, things were slightly ambiguous. Elizabeth asking him to stay a bit longer was likely also to deceive King Richard.

"Hmm," Xu Mo nodded.

The two fell into a silence, creating an awkward atmosphere.

After some time, they left the golden palace together and returned to Lucas University.

......

Lucas University was about to experience another graduation season; the Blue Star Energy Group returned to Lucas University to recruit, not only there but also in top institutions across the Lucas Capital.

Moreover, the school's top talent was also willing to work for the Blue Star Energy Technology Group.

This day, the Blue Star Energy Technology Group had become the most premier mechanical technology company in Lucas Star.

In addition, there was a news report from Lucas Star that garnered significant attention.

The ruler of Mandala Star, the Mandala United Kingdom, was making moves again.

The Mandala United Kingdom, consisting of several planets, with its capital star in Mandala Star, had existed in the universe for countless years.

The people of Mandala were very warlike; they had initiated invasion wars. In the long wars, many planets were occupied, they attacked the star domain where the Star System Alliance was located, and it was under the background of war that the Star System Alliance was established and repelled the people of the Mandala Star.

But now, it seemed that the people of Mandala might be making a comeback.

Centuries ago, Byron Star was destroyed by Mandala Star, subsequently enduring a great disaster period. Monsters rampaged, and Byron Star was almost obliterated; Mandala Star looted useful resources, technology, and top talent, while Byron Star was nearly destroyed.

The current Byron Star Federation Government was not even comparable to Byron Star hundreds of years ago.

In the Lucas University Library, people were also discussing this.

"With Mandala Star reappearing, could war be rekindled?" a student remarked upon seeing the news.

"If war restarts, I'll enlist," someone said.

"You, an art student, enlist?" someone else joked.

"Don't worry, even if a war starts, it would hardly reach the Lucas Star's capital, which is the most crucial city in the Star System Alliance," someone said.
