Chapter 647: Chapter 525: Promotion
Black Brilliance Upper City, inside a dimly lit room.
In the Hongji Empire, Karn solemnly addressed the artificial intelligence, Black Cosmos, who was covered with various tubes.
“Rest assured, Father, I won’t lose control again.”
The voice of the artificial intelligence, Black Cosmos, was hoarse as he responded.
Karn was silent for a few seconds before finally speaking, “You need not feel guilty about what happened before. No one will blame you anymore. You are always our pride. Without your sacrifice back then, the Hongji Empire would have ceased to exist by now. Our only mistake was underestimating the power of Negative Energy Crystal Fragments. That wasn’t power we should have tampered with, at least not for now.”
“I understand, Father. I won’t use it anymore. I will seal it away forever. Now, I just want to see Jialan live a happy life.”
“However, Father, there is something I must remind you of. Although the Federation has extended a hand of friendship, the most unpredictable thing in this world is the human heart. Do not fully trust them.”
“Don’t worry, I am well aware of the situation. While Su Mo and his people are decent, they do not represent the Federation entirely. I am also aware of what those people want. Within the tolerable red line, I will give them enough benefits in exchange for protection. Of course, if they ask for too much, I am not unprepared.”
Karn responded gravely.
“Alright then, one more thing, don’t tell Jialan about these troubling matters.”
“Father, another thing is to keep an especially close eye on that man called Su Mo. His strength is abnormal. The Federation has only been in this world for a few years, yet he was able to master the Gluttonous Mecha to such an extent. Even back in our prime, only a few of us could handle Gluttonous.”
“I have a good impression of Su Mo. As for what you mentioned, I will keep an eye out.”
The next morning, Su Mo got up early, washed up, and checked his phone.
Sun Duoxiang hadn’t sent him any messages, which meant they hadn’t returned yet. It looked like they truly got addicted to scavenging.
After some thought, Su Mo decided to return to the GT department.
Though Captain Mo Baoke had given him a vacation, he still needed to show his face there. Thinking this, Su Mo headed towards the G12 district hangar.
Before long, Su Mo arrived at the G12 district hangar.
Captain Mo Baoke, as usual, was lecturing all the team members.
“How many times have I told you, my command is absolute justice, everyone must obey unconditionally. It could save your lives at the crucial moment. Of course, you shouldn’t idolize me too much….”
Listening to Captain Mo Baoke’s bravado, Su Mo felt a strange sense of familiarity. This guy was still as interesting as ever.
At this moment, Zhao Bo and others noticed Su Mo’s arrival and excitedly turned their heads to look at him, no longer paying attention to the lecture.
“What are you doing, all looking in that direction? Didn’t you see that I am lecturing?”
Mo Baoke noticed something was off and scolded in annoyance.
Then Mo Baoke turned his head to follow their gaze and immediately his expression did a 180-degree turn, his face lighting up with a flattering smile as he rushed towards Su Mo.
“Oh, Su Mo, why are you here so early? Haven’t you had breakfast? Should I have these brats get you some food?”
Looking at the obsequious Mo Baoke, Su Mo felt very uncomfortable and said helplessly, “Captain Mo Baoke, can’t you act a bit more normal?”
“What do you mean? I am already being quite normal.”
Mo Baoke was almost groveling.
Su Mo found it a bit too much to bear.
“Please, just be normal.”
As Su Mo and Mo Baoke were talking, a sudden burst of footsteps approached.
Kolev standing aside promptly coughed loudly.
Unfortunately, Mo Baoke acted as if he hadn’t heard it and continued to rub his hands together, keeping a smile plastered on his face as he ingratiated himself with Su Mo.
“I am very normal, my admiration for Lord Su Mo is from the bottom of my heart, please accept my knees….”
Kolev coughed forcefully.
Mo Baoke, a bit annoyed, turned to Kolev and said, “Kolev, if you’re not feeling well, go to the hospital, don’t keep coughing here and interrupting my thoughts.”
Kolev also looked helpless.
A stern voice rang out.
Suddenly startled, Mo Baoke’s expression changed dramatically as he turned to look, only to see General Figerl approaching with several subordinates.
Mo Baoke’s tongue almost trembled.
Seeing General Figerl’s sudden arrival, Su Mo was also surprised and quickly greeted, “General Figerl, what brings you here?”
Figerl turned to look at Su Mo, a smile appearing on his face.
“I came specially to find you. The rewards from above have arrived.” Googlᴇ search novelFɪre.net
Su Mo was also a bit surprised.
“What else could be rewarded? It’s to commend everything you did at the Imprisoned Planet Fortress. Also, thanks to your early warning, Black Brilliance was lucky to dodge the fatal blow from Twilight Fortress.”
Figerl said with deep feeling.
Su Mo was not very interested.
On the other hand, Mo Baoke asked excitedly, “General Figerl, do I have a share too? The mech Su Mo used was provided by me.”
“You’ll also be credited.”
Although Figerl was somewhat annoyed with Mo Baoke, he still responded very fairly. Indeed, Mo Baoke lending his mech to Su Mo had played a role.
Mo Baoke was nearly ecstatic.
At this point, Figerl’s expression turned serious, and he shouted in a deep voice, “Su Mo!”
