Chapter 712: Chapter 94: Wait to Die
Austin Royal Hotel, Xu Mo had returned to his room. Apart from him, only Ye Huan, Fu Yuan, and Ye Xi had come back.
The others were still in the starship, and Xu Mo had instructed them to be ready at any moment.
They should soon find out whether the attack on Blue Star Energy Technology Group was premeditated or a random incident.
No matter how the Olay family chose to act, the answer would be revealed.
Xu Mo was cultivating in his hotel room, his sensory perception spread out, covering a large area. With his current strength of perception, the entire hotel, inside and out, was within his reach.
Thus, Xu Mo saw many scenes he shouldn’t have—in quite a few rooms, there were people working out.
At that moment, in Xu Mo’s perception, he noticed a group of people arriving outside the Austin Royal Hotel. Some of them remained outside and did not enter, while others entered the hotel, all fully armed.
There were even Mechas.
Roy was there, and he was accompanied by a man around thirty years old.
The man beside Roy was giving orders to seal off the hotel.
Then they made their way to the hotel’s first-floor bar and sat down.
“Captain Ye, Captain Fu, Sister Xi, they are here,” Xu Mo said. “They’ve surrounded the hotel. I suspect the interstellar thieves are likely people from the Olay family, but we still need confirmation. Listen for my cue later to see if we have a chance to capture the young master of the Olay family directly. If we fail, we retreat immediately.”
“Xiao Qi, Sister Butterfly, be ready to assist with the evacuation,” Xu Mo spoke into the communicator.
After receiving the message, everyone was fully prepared.
“Brother Mo, I see that the airborne combat team has arrived,” Xiao Qi said.
“Be careful,” Xu Mo said.
It seemed they were facing the worst-case scenario.
They were staying in the hotel of the very person involved and, moreover, the largest armed power on this planet.
Thus, it appeared that the attack on the Blue Star Energy Technology Group spaceship was not a random incident.
A while later, a female hotel waitress knocked on the door. Xu Mo opened it, only to hear the woman smilingly say, “Mr. Sorey, someone is looking for you downstairs.”
“The eldest young master of the Olay family, Master Kaba,” the waitress said.
“Where?” Xu Mo knowingly asked.
“The first-floor bar,” the waitress replied.
“Alright, go ahead and tell Master Kaba to wait a moment,” Xu Mo nodded. After she left, he knocked on the next two room doors. Once Ye Huan and the others came out, they followed Xu Mo downstairs without speaking a word.
Upon arriving at the bar on the first floor, Xu Mo saw Kaba and Roy.
“Big brother, this is Prince Sorey,” Roy said to Kaba. “Sorey, this is my big brother.”
“Master Kaba,” Xu Mo extended his hand, smiling. Both Kaba and Roy were fully armed, surrounded by bodyguards, and of course, so was Xu Mo.
Clearly, neither side trusted the other very much.
“Prince Sorey, please take a seat,” Kaba said to Xu Mo. As they sat down, Kaba asked, “I hear from Roy that Prince Sorey is interested in weaponry?”
“Yes,” Xu Mo nodded. “Could Master Kaba assist?”
“Of course,” Kaba nodded, waved his hand, and two of his people brought forward a gun and a knife—both Blue Star Energy Technology products and of S-level quality.
Kaba grabbed the knife, and powerful energy burst forth from it. The blade glinted sharply, emitting an intense sharpness.
“Fine knife,” Xu Mo said. “Is this batch produced by the Olay family? How much is there?”
“No, purchased from a group of thieves,” Kaba responded.
“Let me see,” Xu Mo reached out to take the knife but saw Kaba instantly retract it, smiling at Xu Mo, “Prince Sorey, if you want to test the knife, we should change locations. This isn’t quite the right place. There are other weapons to test as well.”
Kaba’s Source Power Level wasn’t low, A+ standard, but being naturally cautious, how could he let Xu Mo pick up a knife or weapon in his presence? That would pose a direct threat to him, as human reactions require some time.
If Xu Mo were to draw the knife, they could react accordingly.
Xu Mo, seeing Kaba’s reaction, knew the other was always on guard, making a stealth attack pointless.
“Master Kaba, may I ask you a question?” Xu Mo suddenly said.
“Please speak, Prince Sorey,” Kaba responded.
“Whose weapons are these?” Xu Mo’s eyes fixed on Kaba, his voice carrying a sort of magic power, he asked, “Are the interstellar pirates who attacked the Blue Star Energy Technology Group from the Olay family? Who gave you the information?”
Xu Mo’s questions poured out, directly sounding in Kaba’s mind as he spoke. The moment his words fell, his gaze drastically changed. A powerful force of spiritual power fiercely invaded Kaba’s mind, forcibly perceiving the other’s thoughts.
This sudden change had Kaba’s men instantly drawing their weapons, and Ye Huan’s team did the same, their actions rapid.
In an instant, Xu Mo got the answer he wanted.
Roy might not know much, but Kaba’s high status meant he surely knew the truth. Therefore, asking Kaba directly was the most convenient method.
“Boom…” With the answer, Xu Mo’s eyes shot out energy light. Kaba screamed in agony, instantly closing his eyes. His helmet grew out from around his neck, encasing his head. Even so, blood still flowed from the eyes behind the visor as he roared in anger.
