Chapter 700: Chapter 563: Really (Extra for Silver Alliance Leader Arain) (Part 4)

“Oh, it’s Xiao Wen, long time no see.”

Zhao Wushuang greeted cheerfully.

“Come, come, sit down, I’ll pour you a drink.”

Su Mo smiled as he picked up the bottle.

“I’ll punish myself with three drinks! There’s been so much going on, it’s only now that I’ve managed to get away.”

Zhao Wushuang explained to Su Mo that since he had received Su Mo’s message, he knew he would definitely participate in the exploration mission, so he started preparing immediately.

“No worries, as long as everything is ready for the exploration.”

Su Mo responded with a smile.

“Commander Su Mo, rest assured, I won’t embarrass you. If I disappoint you, I’ll go take the punishment myself!”

Zhao Wushuang declared earnestly.

Hearing Zhao Wushuang’s words, Mo Baoke’s head buzzed, and he jumped up, exclaiming with immense surprise.

“Lord Su Mo, you’re really the leader!”

“Yeah.”

Su Mo nodded helplessly.

Chen Shan and Xiao Wen at the side couldn’t believe it either; it seemed too absurd. Knowing that Su Mo’s current rank was only a major, and not as high as Vice Admiral Zhao Wushuang, how could he lead?

But since General Zhao Wushuang said so, it really seemed genuine.

You should know that Zhao Wushuang is not one to joke around; he’s always been known for his rigor.

“Yes.”

Su Mo replied with a smile.

Sun Duoxiang’s eyes shifted, looking like he’d struck gold, he quickly spoke, “Boss, you have to take us with you this time, we can help you out.”

“You won’t be left out,”

Su Mo, seeing how eager Sun Duoxiang was, also found it amusing. This guy didn’t believe it at all just now, now he’s more eager than anyone.

Mo Baoke quickly buttered up, “Lord Su Mo, I was wrong, I shouldn’t have underestimated you, I was blind, please take me with you… ”

“Stop! Don’t say another word, or I won’t take you.”

Su Mo saw Mo Baoke going overboard and his mouth twitched fiercely, he quickly interjected to stop him.

“Okay, okay,”

Mo Baoke replied, thrilled.

Sitting aside, Qian Chengxue looked thoughtful, pondering something.

“Let’s not talk about this anymore, everyone, let’s drink this together, and then we’ll all prepare for the exploration, hoping we can return in triumph.”

Su Mo raised his glass and said.

“Well said!”

Zhao Wushuang strongly agreed, lifting his glass in support.

“Come, cheers!”

Xiao Wen was also very happy, although he hadn’t actively brought up the exploration. But deep down, he was eager to participate in this mission, otherwise, Xiao Wen wouldn’t have gone to gather related information.

“Let’s all drink up, no going home sober.”

Sun Duoxiang was almost bursting with joy.

…

Late at night, after sending off Xiao Wen and the others, Su Mo and Qian Chengxue walked towards the Upper City District.

“You drank a lot, are you okay? Do you need me to buy you some hangover medicine?”

Qian Chengxue asked with concern.

“It’s okay.”

Su Mo shook his head with a smile and replied, “If it had been before, my tolerance for alcohol would have knocked me down already. But ever since my body was enhanced, my alcohol tolerance has exploded and I’ve never been drunk.”

Seeing that Su Mo seemed genuinely fine, Qian Chengxue started to ask.

“Su Mo, when did you become a leader of an exploration team? I didn’t know about this.”

“Yesterday, Spade called me to a meeting with the other core members, and then, out of the blue, he asked me to lead the team.”

Su Mo mentioned this with a bitter smile.

“That’s a good thing, isn’t it? It shows they really regard you as an official core member now, something many people wouldn’t be able to achieve no matter how much they wanted it,”

Qian Chengxue genuinely rejoiced for Su Mo.

“Nonsense, it’s no good thing at all. Wang Hai was left out and couldn’t participate in this operation;”>

“Wait, doesn’t that mean you’re filling Wang Hai’s spot? Though Wang Hai is a great guy, anyone would feel uncomfortable in that position. You guys didn’t have any conflicts, did you?”

Qian Chengxue immediately reacted.

“There were no conflicts, Wang Hai has an unusually broad-mindedness that I truly admire. But doesn’t this situation make both of us uncomfortable? Honestly, I don’t want to lead because I have absolutely no experience in this area. There are many unwritten rules that I just don’t understand. I’ve asked Zhao Wushuang to come over today, thanks to Wang Hai’s reminder. I’m really worried about messing things up,”

Su Mo fussily confided to Qian Chengxue.

Qian Chengxue said with a smile, “Don’t worry, I believe you will do an excellent job.”

“Maybe,”

Su Mo replied tiredly.

————————————————————-

In a highly luxurious standalone villa in the Upper City District, a dense crowd had gathered.

Ye Wuheng, Ye Wei, Ye Haitang, and all the other core members of the Ye Family were there.

Yet on closer inspection, it was evident that they were all standing at the very back.

In the center of the living room, Ye Quan, Ye Tian, and the older generation of core members were all sitting together, their expressions very gloomy.

Ye Quan tapped his cane on the floor and spoke solemnly to everyone.

“I’ve called everyone here today to discuss a very bad issue facing us all.”

Upon hearing Ye Quan’s words, the Ye family offspring all showed signs of alarm.

“You all should be aware of our family’s current situation. This month’s financial statement is in extreme deficit. The specific reasons need no explaining from me, right? When the White Hole impact occurred, we lost a significant amount of personnel and resources, our treasury is not only empty, it’s almost breached. You think that’s funny, do you?”

“Father, this cannot be entirely blamed on us. We retreated as soon as we received the orders. But many of us received our staging numbers too late.”

Ye Tian solemnly explained.

“How do you maintain your relationships?”

Ye Quan coldly looked at Ye Tian.

Ye Tian furrowed his brows and responded, “I take responsibility for this, but dwelling on it now won’t solve anything. The urgent matter at hand is to find a way to recover the financial and material losses.”

“Easier said than done. Currently, eighty percent of our plans have encountered problems,”

Ye Quan coldly stated.

The people present all lowered their heads, not daring to say anything.

“Father, the Black Brilliance is about to undertake a major exploration plan. We could use this opportunity to try and recoup our losses, take a gamble!”

Ye Tian spoke earnestly.

“The bad news I’m about to share is exactly about that. There’s been a problem with the slots for this exploration, and you all clearly understand the importance of this operation. Whoever can participate has the chance to soar to new heights, but missing this chance could have extremely serious consequences. Because if the Black Brilliance successfully completes its exploration, it will end the expedition and return home early, meaning our Ye Family not only didn’t make any money but suffered heavy losses, completely in vain—the consequences are obvious,”

Ye Quan bluntly stated.

Hearing Ye Quan’s words, everyone present was stunned.
