The Seventh Base

Now, they had no choice but to follow this path to its dark end!

Lucas University quickly released the results of the investigation regarding Xu Mo's probe. It was true that someone had reported him, but the school had an obligation to protect the whistleblower's information and to investigate the reported individual. The procedure was correct, and since it had been proven that Xu Mo hadn't violated any school rules, the subsequent investigation was terminated.

Regarding the issue with Blue Star Energy Technology Group, several school staff members implicated were dismissed. As for Princess Elizabeth, although her entrepreneurial efforts as a student were understandable, she had also exploited her status for personal gain and was given a verbal reprimand.

As for Douglas, a junior at the Lucas University Extraordinary Department, he was given a reprimand on his record.

Furthermore, Blue Star Energy Technology Group, as a student-founded company, was permitted to recruit within Lucas University.

This matter finally concluded, and Lucas University called on the students to return to their studies.

The students of the school were abuzz with discussion.

This incident exposed quite a few matters. Firstly, Douglas was the man behind the scenes. Although the school did not say it explicitly, he was given a reprimand on his record, which made it clear he was involved. Whether Prince Charles instructed him to do it remained unknown.

Prince Charles had a sensitive identity and had already graduated. With the matter coming to Douglas, it should stop there.

Secondly, the discord and fierce struggle between Prince Charles and Princess Elizabeth was evident. Prince Charles seemed intent on suppressing Princess Elizabeth, which made people lament the seemingly tenuous fraternal bonds within the Royal Family.

After dealing with this matter, to minimize the impact, the news did not spread beyond Lucas University, and even if someone knew, it was only a handful of people.

Additionally, Xu Mo and Blue Star Energy Technology Group gained fame.

Xu Mo already had a certain reputation within the school, known as the miraculous librarian, a master of psychology, incredibly amazing, with extraordinary memory and strong learning abilities, and solid theoretical knowledge, but still, only a few knew about him.

After the incident, most people in the school knew there was a librarian named Xu Mo, and he was far from simple.

Moreover, shareholders of Blue Star Energy Technology Group even included Princess Elizabeth and members of the Royal Family from Odin Mountain Star. It was rumored that Yekaterina from Carolan Star was also a shareholder. Suddenly, more and more people sought employment at Blue Star Energy Technology Group.

Ye Qingdie and the others were overwhelmed, receiving numerous resumes.

"One by one, please line up," Xiao Qi called out loudly to the crowd, asking the job applicants to queue. Fame could be a burden, and their company had inadvertently caught fire.

"Will Miss Elizabeth be in charge of the daily operations of the company?" someone asked. The crowd was large, but many were there just to make up the numbers.

"Princess Elizabeth is one of our shareholders and will not manage the daily operations, but she will occasionally visit the company," Ye Qingdie replied. It appeared the Princess's reputation was indeed very useful.

From a distance, Ize, concerned about the bustling situation, felt some worry. What had been just a game before was no longer that simple, especially since this matter now involved Prince Charles and Princess Elizabeth.

At that moment, Ize's communicator vibrated. He glanced at it, took a deep breath, as if he had been expecting it.

Sure enough, his family was inquiring.

Ize answered the call.

"Father," Ize greeted.

"Ize, I've heard there's a situation at your school regarding Prince Charles and Princess Elizabeth," came the voice from the communicator.

"Yes," Ize replied.

"You've always been quite close to Princess Elizabeth, haven't you?"

"Yes, you know, I've known Elizabeth since childhood; we have always been good friends," Ize responded.

"Just good friends?" Ize's father asked. "You've always been pursuing Elizabeth, and what exactly is the deal with Blue Star Energy Technology Group?"

"It's a company that a few friends and I established together," Ize answered.

"I supported you when I heard you wanted to start a business, and I have nothing against your friendship with Elizabeth, but make sure you keep a sense of proportion. No matter who ascends to the throne, it will not affect our family's standing, but if you take sides recklessly, you could bring disaster upon us," Ize's father warned.

"I understand," Ize replied.

After hanging up the communicator, Ize felt a headache coming on. He preferred pure cultivation over politics.

Besides, his pursuit of Elizabeth was out of affection, unrelated to her status. Ize had known Elizabeth since they were young children; although it wasn't a childhood sweetheart situation, he had secretly admired the beautiful little princess in his youth.

Ize knew very well that his feelings were pure and not driven by political purposes.

But their status was there, and even the purest of feelings could hardly escape the intricacies of political interests.

...

Xu Mo became popular.

Because of this incident, he became popular.

Princess Elizabeth was already very famous, and nobody dared to harass her.

But it was different for Xu Mo, as the number of visitors to the Library had obviously increased recently.

Especially the girls.

After watching the video, they all felt very sympathetic towards this studious librarian.

Born of humble origins, he could only enter Lucas University as a librarian and study earnestly in the Library, self-taught to success.

Such a hard-working person, yet still faced suppression, how pitiful.

Hearing that he was quite proficient in psychology from self-study, many were also curious.

"Is your family from Lucas Star?" At the Library at the moment, a girl asked Xu Mo.

"No, I am a servant of the Anos Clan," Xu Mo replied.

"Oh, the Anos Clan. I think I've heard that there was a conflict, so it seems you've come to avoid the war," the girl said with a hint of sympathy.

"Are there any other ways to get into Lucas University, like through independent studies?" another girl nearby asked: "You could go ask the school about it; maybe there's a chance you could become a formal student of Lucas University. Then you'd be able to find a good job."

"I hadn't actually thought of that," Xu Mo said. "I'll go ask after I get off work. Thank you, ladies."

"Ladies?" the girl asked softly, "That's quite a novel term, I haven't heard it before. Is it how the Anos Clan addresses females?"

"Yes, it's a term of respect for kind and beautiful girls," Xu Mo spouted nonsense.

"What about your employer though, can they buy out your servitude? We could try to raise funds," the complimented girl pitied, thinking that it was such a shame for a good-looking, polite, and studious young man like Xu Mo to have the status of a servant.

"You'll have to ask her about that," Xu Mo sneakily glanced towards Zero, who was walking over, and shrank his head, feeling a dangerous aura.

When they turned to look at Zero, they thought to themselves what a beautiful girl, even if she seemed a bit fierce.

Xu Mo was even scared enough to shrink his head.

"You're a student of Lucas University too, right? Could you give Xu Mo back his freedom?" the girl from before asked: "If it requires star coins, we could think of something."

"Freedom?" Zero asked, looking at Xu Mo.

"Just a joke..." Xu Mo said feebly.

Seeing this scene, the girls felt even more pity for Xu Mo, wondering if he was that scared.

Zero was furious.

This big liar, again deceiving girls.

Draw the sword!

"Fighting is prohibited in the Library," Xu Mo ran away like smoke, his speed astonishing the girls who watched in stunned silence as Zero chased after him.

After they left, Sorey and Yekaterina arrived.

"Brother Xu Mo is really something. Does he like being abused or what?" Sorey asked Yekaterina. Did he enjoy being mistreated?

"Sorey, Yekaterina." The girls recognized the two.

"Did Xu Mo deceive you guys again?" Yekaterina asked.

"Deceive?" The girls looked confused.

"In the past few days, there have been hundreds of girls wanting to redeem him," Yekaterina said meaningfully. "Let me tell you a secret, actually, that girl is his girlfriend."

The girls were stunned, then, realizing they had been fooled, their expressions became extraordinarily colorful.

Bastard!

Liar!
