The Seventh Base

The universe, the star domain where the Star System Alliance is located.

An intense energy wave appeared; the next moment, a fleet seemed to emerge from nothingness, traversing the starry sky. In the universe, even a powerful fleet appeared extremely small, like a drop in the ocean.

In the leading warship of the fleet, in the command room, two figures stood watching the starry space in front of them.

"Space jump completed, now heading towards Lucas Star, the headquarters of the Star System Alliance," a figure at the main control console turned around and reported to the two standing figures.

These two, one middle-aged and one young, gazed at the expanse of space before them.

"Teacher, do you think the Star System Alliance will agree to our terms?" the young man asked. He was Prince Hades of the Mandala Star United Kingdom, and the middle-aged man by his side was his teacher, Aragon.

"No," Aragon replied. "No one is willing to hand over sovereignty. The Star System Alliance, even if shattered in war, would not surrender before a battle begins, unless facing a dire crisis."

"So, it seems we'll make the trip in vain," Hades said.

"The war hundreds of years ago cost our Mandala United Kingdom countless lives; many subordinate planets crumbled, and the royal family declined. It took centuries to recover our strength. If there were a choice, no one would wish to instigate war," Aragon said. "Your Highness must understand, after the fragmentation of the Silver Star Empire, in this endless starry sky, all civilizations play the roles of hunter and prey. No one can stand alone; either you become the hunter or resign to being the prey."

"War is inevitable. If we can subdue others without fighting, that would be the best option. The purpose of this trip is not to negotiate but to assert our power," Aragon spoke. "Let the Star System Alliance witness the strength of the Mandala United Kingdom and intimidate them. Therefore, Your Highness and I came here in person."

Hades nodded, his teacher Aragon was one of the towering figures of Mandala Star.

He gazed at the vast starry space before him; this area would all belong to Mandala Star.

The warship traveled through the starry sky, continuing towards Lucas Star.

Lucas Star welcomed the season of Lune Festival. On the eve of Lune Festival, the capital was particularly lively as the people of Lucas Star momentarily forgot their worries and celebrated the arrival of the Lune Festival.

It is said that tomorrow, during the Lune Festival, the royal family of Lucas Star will host a banquet for all guests from the Star System Alliance.

However, Xu Mo had not received an invitation, despite his achievements in taking down Byron Star. Technically, he should represent Byron Star, which is still a member of the Star System Alliance, albeit an overlooked one.

But Xu Mo didn't mind; he returned primarily to examine the progress of the situation, and the establishment of the Blue Star Association was an unexpected gain. Major planetary research teams had already set sail for Byron, and he had notified Byron Star to prepare accordingly.

This way, Byron Star had forged ties with several major planets, making it somewhat safer in the upcoming era of war.

At the residence of the Blue Star Energy Technology Group, Xu Mo stood in front of a floor-to-ceiling window when his communicator vibrated. He answered the call.

"Elizabeth," Xu Mo spoke.

"Happy Lune Festival," Elizabeth said. As the most important annual festival for Lucas Star, the people of Lucas held the Lune Festival in high regard, although Xu Mo felt indifferent, not being from Lucas Star.

"Happy Lune Festival," Xu Mo replied.

"Will you come tomorrow?" Elizabeth asked.

"Lucas Star didn't invite me, so I won't go," Xu Mo chuckled in response; without an invitation, attending the banquet seemed rather awkward.

"Hmm," Elizabeth nodded. "Be careful of Nilo."

"Understood," Xu Mo responded. Publicly humiliating Nilo that day, with Nilo's unstable temperament, he would surely not be kind to him if given the chance. However, Xu Mo was not afraid. He had come dressed in equipment, making it not so easy to kill him.

"Hmm," Elizabeth acknowledged, not adding much more.

"Get some rest early," Xu Mo said, and Elizabeth hung up the communicator.

"Princess Elizabeth?" Ye Qingdie approached and asked Xu Mo.

Xu Mo nodded.

"What do you plan for the aftermath?" Ye Qingdie smiled at Xu Mo.

"Aftermath?" Xu Mo did not understand.

Playing dead!

Ye Qingdie glared at him, saying, "I don't believe you don't understand Princess Elizabeth's feelings."

"Sister Butterfly, you're thinking too much. Elizabeth has never been kind to me. We are just good friends," Xu Mo said.

"Hmph," Ye Qingdie observed him. Just good friends?

"Princess Elizabeth is very beautiful, and she's also a princess. Tell me honestly, don't you have any thoughts?" Ye Qingdie smirked, seemingly trying to coax an admission from him.

A trap question? Xu Mo would not fall for it.

Xu Mo looked at her, and Ye Qingdie saw his expression. Her smile froze on her face, then she saw Xu Mo walking towards her.

"Sister Butterfly, guess what I am thinking now?" Xu Mo said to Ye Qingdie.

"Go to hell," Ye Qingdie kicked out, but her lifting leg was caught by Xu Mo, who then pulled her close. Ye Qingdie let out a shriek, followed by a fierce struggle.

Xu Mo had been holding back until now. Having tasted the pleasure, how could he hold back any longer, especially with such a sexy woman?
