Chapter 137: Breakdown in Negotiations
On the day of the Lune Festival, a turmoil erupted across Lucas Star. The imposing presence of Mandala Star and Hades made the Lucas Star people feel a sense of oppression.
Within the Star System Alliance, Lucas Star is the strongest, thus the people of Lucas Star have always been proud, believing themselves to be from a high-level civilization planet. However, the emergence of Mandala Star diminished this pride. In the endless starry sky, there seemed to be many planets capable of oppressing them.
This Mandala Star had already set foot on their land, with its fleet stationed in the capital of Lucas Star. Members of the entire Star System Alliance would meet and negotiate with them, clearly fearing war more than Mandala Star itself.
Soon, the location of the Mandala Star people was discovered. Their fleet landed and settled in the capital of Lucas Star, attracting tremendous attention.
For a time, the princes and princesses of the Star System Alliance were far less attention-grabbing than this prince from Mandala Star.
The communicator of the Blue Star Energy Technology Group vibrated in Xu Mo's hand.
"Mr. Xu Mo?" A voice came from the communicator.
"I am." Xu Mo responded.
"This is from the Star System Alliance office. Given the current situation on Byron Star, Mr. Xu Mo has become a representative figure of Byron Star. Therefore, the Star System Alliance invites Mr. Xu Mo to represent Byron Star in tomorrow's meeting," the other party said.
Xu Mo was a bit surprised. How did the Star System Alliance manage to contact him?
Moreover, they invited him to participate in tomorrow's negotiation meeting.
Byron Star is indeed a member of the Star System Alliance, so this is in accordance with the rules. However, this means that the Star System Alliance acknowledges the legitimacy of the current Byron Star government.
"Alright." Xu Mo nodded and agreed.
The possibility of war might erupt. Naturally, it's best for Byron Star to receive recognition from the Star System Alliance. Even though the relationship is very delicate now, it's not yet time to tear off their masks, at least, he won't be the first to do so.
"We look forward to Mr. Xu Mo's arrival," said the Star System Alliance personnel before hanging up the communicator.
Xu Mo put down the communicator, a pensive look on his face. It was unlikely that the Star System Alliance contacted him for no reason; there must be someone pushing from behind.
Who is concerned about Byron Star?
Nonetheless, it doesn't really matter. Byron Star has no voice in the Star System Alliance, but attending the negotiation process can reveal the Star System Alliance and Mandala Star's bottom line attitude towards the war.
"You're going tomorrow?" Ye Qingdie asked.
"Yes." Xu Mo nodded.
"Could it be a conspiracy?"
"Those with bare feet aren't afraid of those with shoes," Xu Mo said nonchalantly. He is already bound with several major planets, and before he fully acquires the Blue Star Energy Technology Group technology from those major planets, no one can touch Byron Star and Blue Star Energy Technology Group.
Binding interests is always the most effective way.
"Do you need to prepare for anything? There are many who want to deal with you now." Ye Qingdie said. The internal factions of the Lucas Star Federation government, the Baloma Kingdom, Camp Star, all wanted Xu Mo's life.
Although Xu Mo has many friends, he also has as many enemies.
"Indeed, to prepare, one needs to recuperate, sleep." Xu Mo said.
"Sleep???" Ye Qingdie looked at Xu Mo, sleeping in broad daylight?
But then she quickly realized that Xu Mo meant something else by sleep.
Ye Qingdie glared at him and said, "I still have some things to handle. You sleep by yourself."
Saying this, she walked away directly.
Xu Mo: "......"
What's the point of sleeping alone?
While Xu Mo was 'sleeping,' in the capital of Lucas Star, at the residence of Hades, a turmoil was drawing significant attention.
Gust from the Cross Judgment Institute challenged the Mandala Star prince, Hades.
However, Hades did not respond to Gust's challenge.
This caused a huge stir on Lucas Star. People in the Lucas Star capital demanded that Hades accept the challenge, but Hades remained indifferent.
Everyone on Lucas Star knew the name Gust. This prodigy from the Cross Judgment Institute became famous at a young age. He was the son of nobility, showing remarkable Transcendent talent from an early age. He studied at Lucas University, and during his studies, he became famous across Lucas Star. He once won the Lucas Star University Transcendent Tournament in an invincible manner, crushing everyone.
During his third year at the university, his Source Power Level reached S-level. The Royal Knights wanted to recruit him but were rejected by Gust. After two years of dedicated cultivation at Lucas University, he successfully entered the Cross Judgment Institute, rumored to have been accepted as the final disciple by the institute's director.
Three years have passed since then. Gust's strength is now indescribable, but according to rumors, his Source Power Level is already close to SS-level, and he might even become the next director of the Cross Judgment Institute.
Someone like this standing up to challenge Hades shows how much attention the Lucas Star people are paying, all hoping to see a grand battle between the two.
However, Hades actually refused to battle, or rather, did not respond at all.
If it were anyone else, the Lucas Star people would have thought that the other party was afraid, but this was Mandala Star's Prince Hades. Seeing his strong performance upon arriving at the Royal Castle of Lucas Star, no one would think that Hades was afraid of battle.
Perhaps he simply disdains fighting, even if his opponent is Gust. Hades might not be familiar with Lucas Star's super genius, Gust.
To Hades, he's not here to spar with the people of Lucas Star. If people keep challenging him, does that mean he has to keep responding?
