Destiny Mission of game 'Star Ring'-Chapter 1572 - 1252: The Coming Storm (Part 2)

Su Mo explained to Qian Chengxue.

Actually, if Kelas hadn’t reminded him earlier, he might have really done it immediately.

After listening, Qian Chengxue sensed something was off and said to Su Mo.

"Hearing you say that, it does seem a bit suspicious. So, what should we do now?"

"I plan to put it on hold for now and verify the task with someone tomorrow."

Su Mo explained.

"Well, don’t worry too much; maybe it’s just a misunderstanding?"

Qian Chengxue moved behind Su Mo, gently kneading his shoulders to comfort him.

"Yeah, it’s fine."

"Let’s rest early. I’ll stay with you tonight."

"Okay!"

--------------------------------------------

A short while ago, at the Mechanical Empire’s administrative building.

In the solemn and serious corridor.

Two people dressed in the high-level military uniforms of the Mechanical Empire were discussing with grave expressions.

"Baint, the selection of the Royal Order of Twelve Knights is crucial this time. We must ensure that Luo Qi gets the position."

"Alf, based on the intelligence we’ve gathered so far, he has at least a 70% chance of winning. But the biggest uncertainty now is that newcomer, Su Mo. After all, his previous performances were too astonishing, daring to confront the Vice Clan Leader of the Eternal Sleep Clan head-on."

"Rest assured, I’ve had people watching him constantly, and he hasn’t been notified about the competition yet. By the time he realizes, it will be too late."

"That’s good. Although these tricks are somewhat underhanded, this world is like that anyway."

...

Just as Baint and Alf were talking.

Herbert happened to pass by, stopped, and looked at the two coldly.

Seeing Herbert, Baint and Alf hurriedly saluted respectfully.

"Lord Herbert."

"Stop your foolish actions. Don’t dabble in those unsavory tricks all the time; you’ll end up harming yourselves."

Herbert reproached coldly.

"Yes...."

Baint and Alf replied with stiff expressions, though internally defiant, they dared not show any defiance outwardly.

"Hmph!"

Herbert snorted coldly and left straight away.

Watching Herbert’s departing back, Baint sighed as well.

"Ah, Lord Herbert is still too principled."

"Indeed, in these times, no one cares about the process; they only look at the final result. Lord Rogel’s death has already struck a heavy blow on our Mechanical Empire. The previously lurking Laurel Kingdom is troublesome enough, and now another dark horse has appeared. If we don’t nip it in the bud, problems will arise later."

Alf said helplessly.

At this moment, an Orderly Officer rushed over in a hurry.

"Lord Baint, something’s wrong."

"What’s the matter?"

"That Su Mo has returned to Star Ring City with the Colonel."

The Orderly Officer hurriedly reported in a low voice.

"What do we do? He’s returned; doesn’t that mean all our efforts are wasted?"

Alf questioned with a slight change in expression.

Baint said calmly, "What’s there to panic about? Since he’s returned, just find a way to assign him a compulsory task and send him away."

"Alright, I’ll arrange it right away."

Alf nodded.

...

Star Ring City · Fourth Ring.

An ordinary, vacant room.

Creak~

The tightly closed door slowly opened.

A plain-looking, mild-mannered man dressed entirely inconspicuously, exuding a casual demeanor, walked in.

"You’re here."

In the dimly lit room, a hospitable voice sounded.

"Kavise!"

The man gazed at the Sect Hierarch of the Fallen God Sect, Kavise.

"Yurika, you finally came; it’s been many years since we’ve met, hasn’t it? If not for your occasional presence on the Star Ring Forum, I would have thought you were gone."

Kavise said with a bright smile.

"Let’s skip the pleasantries."

Yurika interrupted Kavise’s words calmly.

"Alright, if you’re here today, I assume you’ve agreed to that matter?"

"Yes, I agreed. I can collaborate with you on that matter. But as the saying goes, different paths cannot be jointly pursued. Our relationship is limited to collaborating on that matter."

"Haha, no problem."

"But are you sure we can handle it with just the two of us?"

Yurika gazed at Kavise intently.

"You don’t need to worry about that; I have my ways." 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

Kavise replied with a smile.

"Then it’s settled; I’m leaving."

After confirming the matter with Kavise, Yurika prepared to leave without further ado, showing no desire to engage in idle chat.

"Alright."

Kavise just smiled without saying more.

After Yurika left, the surrounding air suddenly shimmered.

A man of plain appearance, easily overlooked in a crowd, suddenly materialized out of thin air.

"Tsk tsk, can you really trust that Kavise guy?"

"Of course, he can’t be fully trusted; we’re just using him. Naturally, he’s also using me, so there’s no need to worry too much. We can still manage to use him for the time being. But whether we succeed in that matter depends more on you, Lord Brunan."

Kavise said to the plain man before him.

"I will indeed give it my all, but it’s crucial for you to understand that we’re in the same boat. For that matter, neither of us should be crafty or hold back."

Brunan, the Vice Clan Leader of the Eternal Sleep Clan, reminded solemnly.
