Chapter 761: Chapter 378 Invitation (5-in-1)
After listening to Su Ming, Okens also showed a troubled expression on his face.
Now that he’s calmed down, he also feels uncertain. After all, this is the frontline, and his connections are all at the rear.
Gathering fifty people is easy, but gathering fifty experts is difficult.
However, having made such bold claims, he’s now caught in a dilemma.
Zhou Mu and the others saw Okens silent, and their hearts were on edge.
Seeing this, Su Ming spoke up.
“Lord Okens, why don’t we help find some people too? Call over some friends we know well?”
Hearing Su Ming’s suggestion, Okens slowly replied.
“Alright, but there’s a prerequisite: the people found must be from the Federation Military Department.”
“Understood!”
Su Ming and the others responded seriously.
At this time, Su Yuan hesitantly spoke up.
“Lord Okens, we might be able to find some personnel, but where are we going to get ships?”
Upon hearing Su Yuan’s concern, Okens hesitated for a moment and said.
“Don’t worry about the ships, I’ll handle it. Dismissed, go find people, and meet in the leisure hall on the 11th floor at three in the afternoon for a meeting.”
“Okay!”
After hearing this, Su Ming and the others left the room.
In the corridor.
Keku spoke up with difficulty.
“Su Ming, do you have any suitable people you can bring over? We don’t know many people here at the headquarters. Even if we did, if the connections aren’t strong enough, they won’t come to help us.”
“Yeah, even though it’s a fair competition, who would risk offending Commander Alekde?”
Zhou Mu chimed in.
“Sigh, we can’t even find people outside of the Federation.”
Su Yuan was also worried, thinking that if there weren’t so many restrictions, he could ask his brothers to come over.
Su Ming, hearing their concerns, felt a headache coming on but still calmly replied.
“I do have a few people on my side. Try to find some people too; we’ll all do our best.”
“Alright, we’ll head off then.”
Su Yuan and the others nodded and left one after another.
Watching them leave, Su Ming sighed slightly, then lifted his wristband to send a message to Irelia.
“Senior Irelia, this is junior Su Ming. Do you have some time? I need to discuss something with you.”
Minutes later, a message popped up.
“I have time. I’m at the Twin Hotel, Block B, room 5006 on the 5th floor.”
Su Ming was stunned by the message. He was in Block A on the 6th floor, and she was in Block B, room 5006 on the 5th floor, which was very close, just a short walk across the bridge.
He immediately replied to Irelia.
“Okay, I’ll come over now.”
After sending the message, Su Ming headed towards the walkway.
A few minutes later, Su Ming arrived at room 5006 on the 5th floor of Block B and knocked on the door.
Knock knock!
Inside the room, a commotion erupted immediately.
Su Ming looked perplexed, and soon the door opened.
He saw Irelia wearing a fitted white nightgown, her purple hair draped over her shoulders.
She looked at Su Ming with slight surprise and said.
“Junior, you came quite quickly!”
“I happen to be staying in Block A.”
“Hmm, come on in.”
“Sorry for disturbing.”
Su Ming followed Irelia inside. The room was very tidy, and the windows were open, letting in a gentle, warm breeze.
Just then, cries of alarm came from downstairs.
“Hey, someone jumped off the building!”
“It seems something happened.”
Su Ming was taken aback and rushed to the window.
Irelia followed him.
When they reached the window, they looked down and saw several patrolling security personnel rushing over.
The security personnel hurried to the window and looked around.
But they didn’t see anyone.
“How strange. I clearly saw someone jump. Where did they go? Alive there’s no one, dead there’s no corpse.”
“Ah, stop worrying, they must have run off! These days, the risk of having an affair is really high.”
Atop the tall building.
Seeing that the person who jumped had run away, Su Ming lost interest and withdrew his head.
When he turned around, he found Irelia standing right behind him and jumped slightly.
At that moment, Irelia slowly smiled and said.
“Junior Su Ming, I didn’t expect you to be someone who likes watching the excitement.”
“Haha, no, I’m just curious and took a quick look.”
Su Ming replied awkwardly.
“Enough about that. I’m curious, junior, why did you come to find me early in the morning?”
Irelia walked to the small tea table in the room and poured a steaming cup of coffee for Su Ming.
Su Ming took the coffee and said to Irelia.
“Senior, I’m here to invite you to participate in the Star Storage event at the Shabask Kingdom’s centennial celebration, to serve as our commander.”
“Junior Su Ming, you must be joking. The Star Storage event is a traditional event of the Sabakex Kingdom, and the participants are all royal family members. What does that have to do with us?”
Hearing Su Ming’s words, Irelia was a bit surprised but then responded calmly.
“Well, how should I explain this? Forget it, since I came to see you, I’m not afraid of leaking secrets. Typically, this event is exclusive to Shabasi Country, but this year is different. It involves significant interest divisions, and four powers including the Federation have been drawn in.”
“If that’s the case, the Cosmic Army Headquarters is full of experts, including two generals. Why would they need me to participate as a commander?”
“In normal circumstances, that’s true, but something has happened.”
