The Seventh Base

Chapter 773: Chapter 122: The Son-in-law of Lucas Star_2

“Hmm?” Xu Mo looked at Zero, wasn’t it he who asked the question? Why was it being asked back to him?

Could this be a deadly proposition?

“Of course, I don’t want that, I want you to always be by my side,” said Xu Mo. “But…”

But?

Zero raised an eyebrow.

“Will your mother agree?” Xu Mo asked.

The ‘killing intent’ in Zero dissipated into nothing.

“You talk to your mom about it,” Zero said.

“My mom?” Xu Mo blinked, Zero was getting cheekier.

“Is that wrong?” Zero looked at Xu Mo.

“Right, I’ll talk to my mom,” Xu Mo nodded seriously, pet Zero’s head, and said, “Next time we chat with mom, let’s see when we can sleep together.”

Zero looked at Xu Mo apprehensively, but Xu Mo’s expression remained calm, still gently stroking her silver hair.

What ill intentions could he have?

At that moment, a figure approached them, and seeing their intimate behavior, Nan Xiangyi turned around and whispered, “Am I interrupting?”

“No, you’re just in time, Xiao Nan,” Xu Mo called out.

Nan Xiangyi looked at them both and called out, “Senior Zero.”

“Hmm,” Zero nodded lightly, Nan Xiangyi had always respected Zero.

“Did you bring me some good news?” Xu Mo asked.

Nan Xiangyi glanced at Xu Mo, How come this guy is so clever?

“My family has agreed, but in return, if war is initiated, the Canaan Star branch of Blue Star Energy Technology Group must devote itself fully to supplying Canaan Star with the highest quality weapons and equipment, putting all other orders on hold,” Nan Xiangyi stated. Although they owned seventy percent of the shares, the control was still in the hands of the group, that is, in Xu Mo’s hands.

If Xu Mo were uncooperative, their plan couldn’t be carried out.

Just mentioning the lack of technological support would shut things down on their end.

Thus, Canaan Star planned to make a trade with them.

A warship is an extremely strong combat power, but if war prolonged, continuous weapon production would be necessary, and Blue Star Energy Technology Group would serve as an excellent military factory.

“Deal,” Xu Mo said out loud, finally settling things with Nan Xiangyi and Canaan Star.

With this, Blue Star Energy Technology Group would possess five warships, and with a fleet assembled, they already had the capability to initiate military operations.

In the past, when Lancelot Star invaded Byron Star, they deployed three giant warships.

“Then I’ll be leaving first,” Nan Xiangyi said, turning to leave the place. However, just as Nan Xiangyi was leaving, she ran into Elizabeth.

Since Charlie’s visit, Elizabeth hadn’t been to the Library until now, and her arrival caught the eyes of many. Nan Xiangyi also glanced at her, nodded slightly, and then the two passed by each other.

Elizabeth didn’t hesitate; she directly went and sat down across from Xu Mo.

“The king hasn’t made things difficult for you, has he?” Xu Mo asked Elizabeth when he saw her.

With so much that had happened, Elizabeth should have been the most troubled—after all, he didn’t care much, the worst outcome being a break and departure.

But what about Elizabeth?

Where could she go? That was her father.

Elizabeth shook her head. In fact, since the day of the incident, King Richard hadn’t spoken to her as if nothing had happened, until not long ago, and he didn’t bring up her matters but came looking for Xu Mo.

“My father wants to meet you,” Princess Elizabeth said.

“Hmm?” Xu Mo was taken aback, and Zero beside him also showed a wary look. Did King Richard want to see Xu Mo again?

“No,” Zero said. The two parties had already clashed, and Xu Mo could not go.

“What does His Majesty the King want to see me for?” Xu Mo asked.

“He said he wants to talk to you, don’t worry, he won’t do anything to you,” Princess Elizabeth replied. “If he wanted to deal with you, he wouldn’t use this method.”

Xu Mo thought about it, indeed, if King Richard wanted to deal with him, this method would undoubtedly be unwise, leaving himself a bad reputation, and assassination would be simpler.

“When?” Xu Mo asked.

“We can go now, I’ll go with you,” Elizabeth said.

Xu Mo pondered for a moment, then nodded.

If reconciliation were possible, he certainly had no objections; a cooperative win-win situation was preferable as struggle was undoubtedly detrimental and a reluctant choice for Blue Star Energy Technology Group.

They were now fighting for survival.

…

The golden palace, Xu Mo came here for the second time.

This time there was no formal banquet like the last time, King Richard was strolling in the garden of the golden palace, and Elizabeth brought Xu Mo forward, calling out, “Dad.”

“Your Majesty,” Xu Mo also called out.

“Walk with me,” King Richard said to Xu Mo, showing no hostility and appearing very calm.

“All right,” Xu Mo nodded and followed behind King Richard, but Elizabeth, wanting to follow them, stopped when she heard King Richard say, “Elizabeth, are you still worried about what I might do to him?”

Elizabeth then stopped in her tracks, not following them.

As the two walked through the garden, King Richard with his hands clasped behind his back, said, “Xu Mo, you are very interesting, the most interesting young man I have ever seen, freeloaded a top-tier technology group.”

Xu Mo: “…”

What is meant by freeloaded?

“From the founding of Blue Star Energy Technology Group, it was Sorey, Ize, and Carter representing energy, money, and transportation. Later came the tech team, and the researchers weren’t you either; moreover, you brought in members of various royal families to invest, while you yourself actually contributed nothing,” said King Richard.

“…” Xu Mo felt somewhat wronged, but it seemed there wasn’t much he could refute.

“You are very capable, gifted, and your future cultivation will not be lacking. You might even become a Skywalker. Even by the standards of the Star System Alliance, you are among the elite,” King Richard continued, the Skywalker being a rank beyond SS.

Xu Mo listened quietly, not responding, unsure of what King Richard was trying to convey.

“What if I betroth Elizabeth to you? In the future, you would be Lucas Star’s son-in-law. I would use all resources to support you and you wouldn’t need to rely on the technology from Blue Star Energy Technology Group. But forget about the throne. You’ve said you have no interest in power, so I assume you would not be too interested in the throne of Lucas Star either. Supporting Elizabeth would also facilitate the group’s development. Now, I give you these conditions without needing to let Elizabeth,” King Richard suddenly said.

This surprised Xu Mo; King Richard openly offering to marry Elizabeth to him, Charlie inheriting the throne, Elizabeth becoming the lady of Blue Star Energy Technology Group, matched his initial expectations. Only this time, King Richard completely let go of handling Blue Star Energy Technology Group, not even needing the technology, and full support for him.

Such conditions were undoubtedly the best King Richard could offer, even willing to marry his precious pearl to him, showing absolute sincerity.

“Your Majesty, Princess Elizabeth is very excellent, and her beauty is also extremely high, any man would probably be tempted,” Xu Mo said. “However, I already have a girlfriend.”

Marry Elizabeth instead of Zero?

This…

Putting feelings aside, the old witch wouldn’t let him live until tomorrow night.

Both of them together?

The old witch and King Richard would definitely not let him live until tomorrow night!
