Chapter 716: Chapter 572: Situation_2

Lord Spade bowed in response.

"Please!"

Beilo responded with a smile.

With that, Su Mo and company followed Beilo toward the adjacent banquet hall.

Soon, they reached the banquet hall, which was quite unique. Vines covered the walls, blooming with beautiful flowers of an unknown variety that somewhat resembled roses.

In the center of the hall, a twenty-meter-long table made of natural gemstones dominated the space, and even the chairs were built of gems.

Wooden dinnerware was set upon the table.

"Please, take a seat!"

Beilo extended her hand to invite Lord Spade to take the seat of honor for guests.

At that moment, Lord Spade also turned his head to Su Mo and Rose, saying, "You two, please, take your seats as well."

"Yes!"

Su Mo and Rose did not refuse; after all, they were a bit hungry.

Before long, everyone was seated.

Beilo clapped her hands, and one by one, tall, slender girls with pointed ears and green wreaths on their heads came barefoot, carrying dishes covered with lids.

They placed one in front of each person.

"Don’t be shy, enjoy yourselves,"

Beilo said with a smile.

Shortly thereafter, the girls standing by lifted the lids from the dishes.

Upon seeing the food inside, Su Mo took a sharp intake of breath. An entire fist-sized, greasy, writhing green caterpillar met his gaze.

"This is one of our finest delicacies, ’Green Plump,’ organically fed with not a hint of pollution, containing a rich amount of protein, trace elements, as well as certain substances extremely beneficial to the human body. The way to eat it is quite simple,"

As Beilo introduced the dish, she personally demonstrated by picking up a sharp knife and elegantly cutting into it!

Thick green juice flowed out, exceedingly rich.

She then took a fork, speared a piece, and put it in her mouth.

Su Mo felt as if his scalp were exploding, not because he couldn’t eat it. In a life or death situation, if he were starving, of course, he would force himself to eat it.

The problem was, he did not believe he was anywhere near starvation.

At this moment, Su Mo glanced at Rose, who was sitting nearby. He could see that she too had made no move to eat, presumably finding herself in a similar predicament.

However, the unexpected happened: Lord Spade, with an indifferent air, began to mimic Beilo’s cutting. Without any fear, he chewed and swallowed the sliced caterpillar, and he even remembered to praise it.

"Rich and juicy, indeed a delicacy."

"I am glad Lord Spade enjoys it. We have several more dishes to come, and I hope you will provide your thoughts on each,"

Beilo replied contentedly, and though she saw that Su Mo and company hadn’t touched their food, she did not press them to try it.

As long as Lord Spade partook, the gesture carried sufficient respect, and nothing else mattered greatly.

One course after another was served.

Without fail, they were various kinds of insects, every color imaginable. But they all shared one common feature: they were all species of bugs, and all quite plump, which, as per their description, were said to be juicy and delicious as well as beneficial for beauty and health.

Su Mo genuinely felt no appetite at all; he was just hoping for the banquet to end quickly.

But fortunately, when it was time to serve the last dish, Su Mo saw some normal food at last: fruits of various colors, which were excellent.

Each was bright and colorful, with thin skin and thick flesh, and very sweet.

One bite, and juices exploded. Even though he did not know the varieties, that did not prevent Su Mo from rating them highly; they were certainly the most delicious fruits he had ever tasted.

Unfortunately, for the sake of appearance, Su Mo and his companions only symbolically partook.

The entire banquet lasted over two hours and finally came to an end.

Beilo had someone take Lord Spade and his entourage to the best VIP rooms to stay.

.....

Some time later, Su Mo, Rose, and Lord Spade arrived at the resting rooms.

Beilo had arranged things suitably: there was a duplex room, with Lord Spade residing in the master bedroom. Of course, the master bedroom was not simply a room but a small, independent house with all facilities included.

As for Su Mo, Rose, and others, they stayed in the attached subsidiary rooms of the main house to facilitate their protection of Lord Spade.

As for security, to prevent any incidents, Beilo had also stationed a considerable number of her elite personnel on the outer perimeter.

After all, Lord Spade’s identity was so important that issues could not be afforded.

By that time, Lord Spade looked at Rose, who intuitively started inspecting the room to ensure everything was fine.

Then, Lord Spade took out a small jamming device from his pocket and activated it.

After completing all these tasks, Spade, somewhat tiredly, said, "Let’s hear your thoughts."

"From what we’ve seen thus far, the Yanas Kingdom appears to be truly interested in forming an alliance,"

Rose shared her view.

"There’s no such thing as true or false interest; in the end, it is a matter of compulsion. To put it bluntly, take our own Federation for example: if it weren’t for the pressure of external threats, do you think the Federation could have been established so smoothly?"

Lord Spade asserted in a no-nonsense manner.

"It’s the pressure that unites us,"

Su Mo remarked thoughtfully.

"Exactly, when the external pressure eases or other factors change, issues will inevitably arise with the Alliance. But that’s a future concern and irrelevant now. What we need to do is handle the present matters well,"
