The Seventh Base

The Blue Star Association was thus established.

Furthermore, this gathering was also beneficial to Elizabeth.

The individuals present were heirs to royal families from various planets. The arrival of Elizabeth instead of Prince Charles was a hint.

If this power were to influence the Star System Alliance in the future, it would be of great assistance to Elizabeth.

As for King Richard's opinion, it had become less important. After all, he planned to marry off Elizabeth anyway, so even if he was displeased, that was that. Still, publicly, he maintained a relationship with Elizabeth and King Richard, ensuring the appearance of a loving father-daughter bond.

"Those present today are the first batch of Blue Star Association members, all core figures. I believe none of what happens here will be known to outsiders," Xu Mo spoke. The establishment of the Blue Star Association was bound to cause tremors within the Star System Alliance, which is why they intended to operate in the shadows.

Moreover, doing so aligned with the interests of all parties, allowing for silent growth.

Therefore, Xu Mo trusted that the information would not be leaked.

"Aren't you going to deal with Nilo?" Yekarof seemed to have always been curious about how Xu Mo would handle Nilo, yet today, Xu Mo didn't even mention Nilo at all.

"Just a clown," Xu Mo said.

Yekarof's expression showed his intrigue. Was Nilo, the prince of the Baroma Kingdom, merely a clown?

He was somewhat excited to see how Xu Mo would deal with Nilo.

A growing crowd was gathering outside the restaurant, with many media rushing to inquire.

Today, there seemed to be a royal gathering here, but it was unknown what they were discussing.

They waited outside, and after a long time, a group of people finally walked out.

Upon their appearance, the media went into a frenzy capturing photographs and broadcasting live.

"As previously reported, we see that heirs from Canaan Star, Sasi Kingdom, and Carolan Star are present—it really is a royal gathering."

"Princess Elizabeth is there too, conversing happily with them, but it seems Prince Charles is not."

"Xu Mo, next to Princess Elizabeth, is Xu Mo—is this truly a gathering of shareholders from Blue Star Energy Technology Group?"

"Sal is a shareholder of Blue Star Energy Group, but Nan Xiangmu and Yekarof are not. They are heirs of two major planets and also present at this occasion. Could it be that they have also reached some cooperation with Blue Star Energy Technology?"

Various voices rang out as reporters ran forward, addressing the exiting figures: "Your Highnesses, Princes, and Princesses, may I ask what kind of gathering is this today?"

Nan Xiangmu and Yekarof, among others, turned their gazes toward Xu Mo and Elizabeth. They would naturally keep the content of the gathering confidential. As for the reporters' interviews, that headache would be left to Xu Mo to worry about, let him figure out a solution.

"Xu Mo, was this gathering initiated by you and Princess Elizabeth? Does it have anything to do with the incident of Nilo slapping Mr. Ross at the Mechanical God Arena?" a media reporter asked, linking the incident at the Mechanical God Arena with Xu Mo's actions.

"It's just an ordinary gathering. I, Elizabeth, along with Nan Xiangyi, Sal, Sorey, and others are all alumni and friends from Lucas University, wanting to have a small get-together. Since a few others were also in town, we took the opportunity to invite them over for introductions," Xu Mo said with a smile.

Instantly, this provoked considerable discussion.

From Xu Mo's tone, he seemed to have already become quite familiar with the other heirs, sharing a very good relationship.

This realization led them to perceive that Xu Mo and these royal princes and princesses were on an equal footing, engaging as normal friends. Moreover, the princes and princesses seemed to acknowledge Xu Mo's statement.

They realized that Xu Mo possessed exceptional interpersonal skills. His creation of Blue Star Energy Technology Group had already proven as much, and now, he had become acquainted with several heirs.

"Xu Mo, regarding the incident where Nilo slapped Mr. Ross, how do you intend to handle this?" a reporter asked.

"I would like to express my apologies to Mr. Ross," Xu Mo said, causing everyone around to be taken aback, Xu Mo was...

"Previously, I thought Nilo was just a barbaric prince who didn't understand etiquette," Xu Mo continued, "But what I didn't expect was that this Baroma Prince isn't just ignorant of manners; he's a mad dog, biting everywhere. If I had known he was a mad dog, I wouldn't have hit him back at Lucas University. That way, he wouldn't have bitten our Blue Star Energy Technology Group CEO Mr. Ross."

As Xu Mo's words fell, the surrounding was filled with whispers.

Mad dog?

Nilo is the prince of the Star Baroma Kingdom, one of the seven permanent members of the Star System Alliance, and Xu Mo publicly compared him to a mad dog. What Nilo did indeed resembled madness, and coupled with his previous beating from Xu Mo, Xu Mo's words seemed to be dripping with sarcasm, deftly deflecting embarrassment from Ross as merely a bite from a mad dog.

If Nilo were to hear this, he would probably go crazy.

Xu Mo was deliberately provoking Nilo to the extreme.

"Xu Mo, Nilo is the heir of the Baroma Kingdom. Aren't you worried about retaliation from Nilo and the Baroma Kingdom for humiliating him like this?" another reporter eagerly asked.

Xu Mo looked at the reporter with some surprise and asked, "Shouldn't you be asking Nilo if, after being beaten twice, he still dares to show his face in front of me?"

With that, Xu Mo moved forward, and his entourage quickly left the area.

After they left, the news immediately exploded in the Lucas Star Capital, creating huge waves.

At this time, Prince Charles was watching the news report.

"Today, at the gathering of the royal princesses from the four major permanent member stars of the Star System Alliance, initiated by Xu Mo, the founder of Blue Star Energy Technology Group, other heirs from the Sasi Kingdom, Carolan Star, and Canaan Star attended the meeting, and Princess Elizabeth was also present," the news reporter said, hinting heavily.

So, was Elizabeth representing Lucas Star?

It seemed, rather subtle.

"According to sources, the royal princesses from the various planets got along splendidly, and their relationship is very good. Whether their friendship will influence the layout of the Star System Alliance, and in other news, Xu Mo led the fleet of Blue Star Energy Technology Group to defeat the Byron Star Federation, and now he already controls Byron Star. Thus, Xu Mo now controls a star system, and he is also a part of the Star System Alliance,"

"Xu Mo is of a similar age to Princess Elizabeth but has already created many miracles. It is uncertain how great his achievements will be in the future."

As public opinion fermented, Xu Mo once again appeared in the public eye of the Lucas Capital, but now his true identity had been uncovered.

Seeing this, Prince Charles's face darkened, Xu Mo was resolute in helping Elizabeth oppose him.

However, at this point, his father King Richard would probably not be pleased.

After all, King Richard had the idea of marrying Elizabeth into the Prins Kingdom, yet she and Xu Mo remained so close.

Of course, there was someone more furious than Charles.

After watching the report, Nilo smashed the screen in front of him.

Mad dog?

Xu Mo, in front of the public, compared him to a mad dog, and without the protection of the Lucas Star Federation Government, Xu Mo dared such insolence? He thought meeting those princes and princesses would protect him?

However, calming down, a sinister smile flicked across Nilo's eyes. Xu Mo and Elizabeth were so close that surely someone was displeased, and furthermore, he would further offend King Richard. As long as the Lucas Star Federation Government turned a blind eye, he would make Xu Mo die in the capital of Lucas Star.
