Chapter 634: Chapter 57 Eliza’s Doubts
Early in the morning, Xu Mo was still sleeping when someone opened his door, and a striking figure stood quietly in front of his bed.
Xu Mo looked at the beautiful figure in front of him, blinked, tugged the covers, and said, “Sister Butterfly, isn’t this a bit inappropriate?”
Zero heard Xu Mo’s words, her beautiful eyes swirling, she said, “I called your communicator, but no one answered. Come and have breakfast.”
“Maybe I was in a good mood last night, slept deeply,” Xu Mo said.
Zero, tired of dealing with him, turned and left. This guy’s mouth is getting more and more…
Xu Mo picked up the communicator, and sure enough, there were many messages.
“Happy holiday, Brother Xu Mo,” Sorey’s message read.
“Happy Lancelot Festival,” came from Yekaterina.
There were row upon row of messages, including those from Ize and Carter, but most were from female students at Lucas University.
Xu Mo felt a bit guilty and glanced outside the door.
“Gahahah, Brother Mo, you didn’t come home last night. Where did you go, hehehe…” Who else but Xiao Qi?
And there was more than one message.
“Sister Butterfly stayed out late last night and got up early today, you know what I mean.”
“I told Sister Butterfly, maybe Brother Mo got lost outside, he definitely wouldn’t spend the night at a girl’s place.”
“…” Xu Mo felt someone deserved a beating again.
After getting up and washing up, Xu Mo went to the dining room where Zero and the others were waiting.
“Mom, Master Qiong, good morning,” Xu Mo said smoothly.
“…” The three of them looked up at Xu Mo, somewhat taken aback. Xu Mo continued smiling nonchalantly, as if completely unaware of his mistake.
“It’s my mom,” Zero reminded him.
“Isn’t your mom my mom?” Xu Mo looked at Zero and retorted.
Zero blinked. She looked at Xu Mo, then at her mother, and seemed a bit lost!
The three were still not over the shock.
Zero’s mom also had a peculiar expression, hesitated for a moment, but eventually didn’t correct Xu Mo and said, “Sit down and eat.”
“Alright, Mom,” Xu Mo responded.
Master Qiong gave Xu Mo a deep glance. Was it really impossible not to eat this pie?
Xu Mo pretended not to see, after all, he was going to call her that sooner or later, better to do it early and reap the benefits. Smart people know the math!
This is the place where Master Qiong, capable of annihilating an S-class from a distance, lived. Xu Mo felt even Captain Ye would stand no chance here!
“I didn’t ask yesterday, how is your cultivation going?” Zero’s mom asked, the way she spoke had noticeably changed since he started calling her mom.
“Both my Source Power Level and Spiritual Power Level have reached A-class, but it’s still a bit slow. I don’t know when I can reach Master Qiong’s realm,” Xu Mo said. “Is chanting still useful?”
“It is,” Zero’s mom said. “But it’s better not to do it now. Try it when you hit a bottleneck, like when you’re pushing for S-class.”
“Okay, I’ll follow Mom’s plan,” Xu Mo nodded.
Master Qiong sat there without eating, looking at Xu Mo, who clearly didn’t consider himself an outsider!!
Had she agreed to help him?
“When are you planning to go back?” Zero’s mom asked.
“The company doesn’t need me to worry about it, and I’d like to stay here with Zero and you,” Xu Mo replied.
Zero’s mom looked at Xu Mo, paused, then nodded, “Okay.”
Zero was completely befuddled throughout, wanting to spend time with Xu Mo, yet feeling something was off.
Why did she suddenly become his mom?
Home? Was Xu Mo considering this place his home now?
Though she felt something was amiss, she didn’t say anything.
So, Xu Mo ended up staying there.
He only left a few days later, already missing Sister Butterfly and Yaoer.
The day before Lancelot Festival, the events that unfolded in the Mechanical Kingdom continued to ferment.
The Hunter and Blue Star Energy Technology Group gained fame around the Arena, becoming a household name, even spreading beyond the borders of the Mechanical Kingdom; many had watched the live broadcast of the Super God Mechanical Battle that day.
Afterward, a conflict erupted in the Arena, and Lucas Star’s law enforcement directly intervened for investigation, arresting everyone involved in opposing the Blue Star Energy Technology Group, causing quite a stir.
The Mechanical God Arena had always been a place of chaos, where conflicts occurred frequently and law enforcement turned a blind eye, too lazy to intervene.
But this time, because some targeted Blue Star Energy Technology Group, it led to law enforcement stepping in for a thorough investigation, greatly impressing everyone with the hard backing Blue Star Energy Technology Group had.
This seemed to be normal, otherwise how could they have risen so suddenly?
Soon, news spread that Blue Star Energy Technology Group had very deep backers, including an interstellar bank, the Aerospace Union, and even members of the Royal Family holding shares directly.
What they saw might have been just the surface, and Ross might just be a Puppet, holding shares on behalf of those people and managing the company, with the real backing being the Royal Family and prominent nobles.
As the news spread, the other top Mechanical Groups also dared not make any moves against Blue Star Energy Technology Group anymore, and they were busy bailing out their people.
Locke Mechanical Group had it worst; two genius figures of Lancelot Star – Gasor and Alman – were in a very tragic situation, and immediately after the battle ended, they had people watch Xu Mo and struck at Blue Star Energy Technology Group.
Because of this, they had the most arrests and had to resort to using the Lancelot Star Embassy to bail their people out.
