Chapter 762: 601

Karn could only offer a bitter smile, opening his mouth to say, "Sorry, I’m really not of any help."

Of course, how credible his words were remained unclear.

For a moment, the small conference room fell into silence, with Spade and the others furrowing their brows, completely clueless.

Just then, a series of urgent knocks came from the tightly closed doors of the conference room.

Augustus frowned, saying unhappily, "What’s the meaning of this? Didn’t I tell them not to disturb us unless it was something important?"

"It must be something serious; I’ll go check."

Li Ruiqi stood up and walked towards the conference room door.

He quickly opened the door, and an NCO hastily whispered a few words into Li Ruiqi’s ear.

Li Ruiqi nodded slightly and then walked back into the room. He said to Karn, "Mr. Karn, thank you for your time, and it’s getting late; why don’t you go and rest."

Upon hearing this, how could Karn not understand the implicit meaning in Li Ruiqi’s words?

He cooperated and rose to his feet, saying, "Alright, I am indeed a bit tired; I’ll be leaving then."

"Take care!"

Spade said politely.

Before long, only Spade and two others were left in the conference room.

"What happened?"

Spade asked.

"Black Brilliance received a long-distance message from Yanas Kingdom’s Green Gore; they have something important to discuss with us."

Li Ruiqi briefly explained the situation.

"Didn’t we already conclude the deal? What do they want with us?"

Augustus asked, somewhat puzzled.

Spade pondered for a moment and then said, "The people of Yanas Kingdom are quite decent, and we are about to form an alliance. My suggestion is to find out what they want first before making any decisions; it might not be something bad."

"Alright, but setting up long-distance communication might take some time."

Li Ruiqi said, nodding.

"Mm."

Spade and Augustus nodded in agreement.

Walking thoughtfully through the streets of Black Brilliance Upper City, Su Mo reflected on the translation provided by Xiao Zhou, lamenting, "Who would have thought that even a powerful race like the Titans could be driven away like stray dogs. Xiao Shi, just how powerful is that Evil God?"

Unfortunately, the Fake Owner•Devourer did not respond, remaining unusually silent.

Seeing that it wasn’t speaking, Su Mo also lost interest and started walking towards Qian Chengxue’s residence.

But he was stunned as soon as he reached the doorway.

Workers were seen carrying materials inside one after another.

The entire house was incessantly ringing with construction noises.

"What are you guys doing?"

Su Mo asked, a bit dumbfounded.

"Move aside, move aside, don’t block the way,"

Several workers carrying a pudgy wardrobe urged anxiously.

"Okay, sorry."

Su Mo quickly stepped aside to give the workers space to enter.

Just then, a pale hand patted Su Mo’s shoulder from behind.

Su Mo turned his head slightly in surprise.

He saw Qian Chengxue wearing a white shirt, a black hip-hugging skirt, gray stockings, and silver hair cascading over her shoulders, her fair face revealing a bright smile.

"You’re back?"

"Uh—yes, what’s happening here..."

Su Mo asked, his heart rate unintentionally speeding up as he looked at the elegantly charming Qian Chengxue.

"Didn’t you say you wanted to live here? Changed your mind?"

Qian Chengxue asked with a smile, her hands clasped behind her back.

"No, not at all. I just think it’s unnecessary to spend too much. A simple sofa will do for me, especially since you don’t have much money left," he said.

"How can that be okay? We need to spend where it’s necessary. I plan to reduce the size of the living room and eliminate the dining area to partition off a room for you. Sleeping on the sofa permanently isn’t acceptable," she replied.

"Well, okay. But the color of the furniture..."

Su Mo awkwardly asked.

"Oh, I chose that for you, it’s pretty good, do you like it?"

"Uh, I do like it, but..."

Su Mo responded with some insincerity.

"If you don’t like it, I can have them change it,"

Qian Chengxue thought for a moment before replying.

"No need, it’s quite nice. Let’s go in and take a look,"

Su Mo said, his face showing embarrassment.

"Alright,"

Qian Chengxue nodded.

...

Inside the command room of the Green Gore, Beilo had just finished a remote communication with Spade.

Eriga hesitated and asked, "Lady Beilo, should we really seek help from the Federation? Isn’t that like sharing the cake that’s almost within our grasp with others?"

"Do you think I want to? Our repeated forceful attacks have already resulted in heavy losses,"

Beilo replied, her brows deeply furrowed.

"But, with a bit more time, we could definitely take this place. You know our detection devices have discovered high-energy reactions on this planet. This suggests that there might really be energy crystal veins here, and they’re as good as gold,"

Eriga said, somewhat unwillingly.

"What we lack the most now is time. Take a look at this,"

Beilo waved her hand, and an anonymous post appeared on the Star Ring Forum. It was offering to sell coordinates of an energy crystal site, and the post was dated just yesterday.

Although it wasn’t specified in the post that the coordinates were for this location,

the emergence of such a post at this critical moment could only suggest that the seller might be one of their own.

Eriga’s expression also turned extremely somber.

"Who would be so bold?"

"Never mind who has the guts; do you think we have time to waste? We might attract vultures lured by greed before these critters wear us down! Enough, I don’t want to discuss this anymore. Order all units to stand by and rest, and wait for the Federation Fleet to arrive,"

Beilo issued the orders directly, her expression growing increasingly grim. The side effects of the forum were beginning to show, and it seemed it was time to start addressing this issue.

.....

Inside the Black Brilliance, Spade and his two companions were quiet after finishing their communication with Beilo.

The three looked slightly puzzled and remained silent for a while.

Eventually, Augustus broke the silence, "Doesn’t this feel a bit like a pie falling from the sky? Are the people of the Yanas Kingdom really that generous?"

"Impossible,"

Spade immediately rejected the idea without a second thought.

Li Ruiqi pondered for a moment, "If I’m not mistaken, they might really have run into tough opposition. This mission isn’t without risks, but it seems like we don’t have much choice."

"After this job, we’re heading back,"

Spade said decisively.

"That seems to be the only way."

Augustus nodded in agreement.

"But before that, there’s something we need to do,"

Li Ruiqi said seriously.

"What is it?"

Spade asked.

"Just a simple thing. I’ll ask Dr. Zhang Wei to develop a mini-logging software. I plan to have all personnel’s electronic devices and mechas accept this software. It can record when our people have accessed the Star Ring Forum. Although this software can’t record what content was viewed or what was done, it can still impose some restrictions on everyone. Also, keep this operation confidential for now and disclose it only when the time is near,"

Li Ruiqi said.
