Chapter 726: Chapter 578: Enemy Attack_3
Rose didn’t say much more.
Mina and the other children happily pulled Rose towards the shower room at the back. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ novel•fire.net
After they left, Su Mo’s expression subtly shifted as he walked towards the living room. He naturally approached the damaged pile of metal.
Su Mo looked left and right, making sure everything was clear, and then softly called out.
“Hey~ opportunity knocks.”
The next second, the Fake Owner·Swallower silently emerged from Su Mo’s body with extremely little noise.
Su Mo quickly whispered an instruction, “Don’t make any noise and don’t damage any part of this thing. Otherwise, it’ll be noticeable that someone has tampered with it. Also, be quick.”
After responding, the Fake Owner·Swallower went straight into it.
Su Mo held his breath, occasionally glancing around. Actually, the others were not an issue, as he could sense them approaching right away. It was Rose he had to be most wary of since she was a real professional combatant.
So, after Rose went to bathe, Su Mo dared to boldly get to work.
In less than a few minutes, the Fake Owner·Swallower re-emerged and went straight back into Su Mo’s chest.
Seeing that it had finished, Su Mo couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.
“You finally got it done.”
After absorbing energy, the Fake Owner·Swallower seemed to be in a good mood, and it even took the initiative to remind Su Mo, “Although I’ve drained the power, don’t overlook this device just because it’s severely damaged. After all, it’s from the fifth generation mecha and still holds considerable value. If properly recycled, it can yield numerous high-level materials. If you take it back, it could be transformed into a tremendous fortune.”
“No, I won’t be taking anything from here.”
“Because, no matter the excuse, taking something from the Yanas Kingdom will draw attention. Mina and her family might be innocent, but that doesn’t mean Isabella and the others are. Another thing, any item taken back would seem out of place. Plus, we’d go through a full-check on the Black Teeth, and it would also catch Spade’s attention. So, the best course of action is to leave everything as it is. In all things, one must know when to hold back, and not be too greedy,” Su Mo reasoned after thinking it over.
The Fake Owner·Swallower seemed a bit surprised by Su Mo’s reply.
Moments later, footsteps could be heard.
Su Mo turned to look and saw Rose, with her blond hair hanging loose, wearing a pink nightgown—an undersized version of Mina’s—that was stretched tight, the buttons straining as if they would burst at any second, revealing her snow-white belly and slender waist.
Rose’s figure was simply perfect, her waist devoid of any excess fat, her skin especially white and smooth.
At that moment, Su Mo and Rose accidentally met eyes.
Su Mo felt a bit guilty and quickly turned his head away, coughing and saying, “You’ve finished bathing.”
Rose, noticing Su Mo’s unnatural demeanor, instantly caught on. With a mischievous thought rising in her heart, she deliberately walked up close to Su Mo and, with a smile, asked.
“Su Mo, aren’t you going to wash up?”
Su Mo clearly smelled the seductive scent coming from Rose, feeling an inexplicable quickening of his blood flow.
“I’ll go and wash now.”
With that, he made an awkward exit.
Rose watched Su Mo leave and couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
“Haha, turns out he’s just a little boy.”
After a while, Su Mo had a bath and comfortably returned to the living room. He hadn’t expected to find a small swimming pool made of stone in Mina’s shower room.
It looked like Mina’s family used to be quite well-off.
Su Mo glanced at the living room; Rose had already nestled into the bedding laid out on the ground.
Su Mo walked to his own bedding and crawled in.
He felt someone’s gaze on him and turned to look.
There was Rose, lying on her side, watching him with her eyes blinking.
Su Mo felt a bit guilty as he spoke to Rose.
“It’s still early, I don’t usually sleep this soon. In our line of work, sleep is sometimes a luxury. Of course, you understand what I mean—not that there’s no time to sleep, but that most of the time, it’s hard to sleep soundly.”
Rose was genuinely interested in chatting with Su Mo. Initially, she thought of Su Mo as a highly skilled person, but the more she interacted with him, the more she realized he was not just strong. He also had many rare qualities, like being extremely low-profile and gentle, and still very green, contrasting starkly with the open men from their Kingdom.
“Yeah, that’s true. As the ace of the GT Department, we’re essentially on call 24/7,” Su Mo nodded in agreement.
“Actually, there’s nothing to be happy about. My reasons for joining the GT Department are many and complicated. Plainly put, I had no choice, and this position is not easy. You face the most dangerous enemies. One second you’re on top of the world, the next you might be gone,” Rose said with some emotion.
“That’s true, it’s far too dangerous,” Su Mo agreed.
Su Mo was surprised, not sure how to respond for a moment.
“Yes, why go on an expedition? Why join the GT Department? Is it for glory, or for power and wealth?”
