Shadows of the Deep Space-Chapter 1540 - 512: Public Announcement

Hilis sang an enchanting song, descending step by step from the sky like an angel in the night.

At that moment, all the virtual advertisements in Saint Joex switched to images of Hilis.

Countless people stood on the streets, gazing at the projected images and singing along excitedly.

"This is destiny!"

Rumble~

Countless points of light soared into the sky, exploding into brilliantly beautiful fireworks, followed by meteor showers illuminating the entire Saint Joex.

"Hilis!"

The crowd of fervent fans shouted excitedly.

At this moment, under everyone’s gaze, Hilis walked to the Moke Duo Clan Leader, finished the last line, then gracefully bowed and sweetly spoke.

"Grandfather, happy birthday!"

"Good! My dear granddaughter!"

Mokduo looked at Hilis, revealing a fond expression.

Everyone present was utterly stunned by this scene,

"Did I hear that right? Hilis is actually the granddaughter of Lord Mokduo!"

"Oh my god, this is unbelievable."

....

The attendees exclaimed in shock.

Su Ming was also quite surprised to hear this; he didn’t expect Hilis to be Mokduo’s granddaughter.

But after thinking it over carefully, it seemed reasonable.

If Hilis were not from the Morris Family, it would probably be difficult for her to protect herself, given how many people had set their sights on her.

He then quietly asked Olissa.

"Olissa, did you know Miss Hilis’s identity?"

"Of course, I’m her best friend, but even among the other seven great families, not many people know this."

Olissa smiled and said to Su Ming.

"So who are her father and mother?"

Su Ming curiously looked around at the Morris Family members, not seeing anyone step forward.

"Hilis’s father is Lord Mokduo’s youngest son, but I don’t know about her mother. They died in an accident when Hilis was very young. It’s precisely because of this that Mokduo has always kept Hilis’s identity a secret, which is a form of protection."

Olissa explained to Su Ming.

Su Ming felt a bit emotional upon hearing this, knowing that although Mokduo was the leader of Saint Joex’s top family, numerous people wished for his demise.

Unable to reach Mokduo, these people naturally targeted his offspring.

Therefore, Hilis’s parents’ deaths appeared as an accident on the surface, but how can there be so many accidents in this world?

At that moment, Mokduo addressed the crowd.

"Everyone, please be quiet."

The scene gradually calmed down, and Mokduo formally announced to everyone.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I officially announce here that Miss Hilis is my most beloved granddaughter. Starting today, she will end her charitable tour and officially return to the Mokduo family. I am very grateful for your affection and support towards her."

Clap! Clap!

The crowd burst into applause.

The people watching the live broadcast were also quite emotional upon seeing this, shocked that the charitable tour had come to an end.

But it was understandable, seeing how chaotic the outside world had become, making security assurances impossible.

Upon hearing Mokduo’s words, Hilis’s eyes dimmed slightly. But knowing that her grandfather meant well, she quickly adjusted her mood.

At this moment, Saint Joex canceled the night mode; instantly, the entire city lit up once again, transforming back into daylight.

Snap!

The ground of the spacious square split open, raising long tables.

These tables were draped in exquisite white cloth, adorned with the world’s finest foods, fruits, desserts, and wines.

Mokduo raised his hand, signaling everyone to be quiet.

The scene fell silent, all eyes focusing on Mokduo.

Mokduo took a cup of wine from the table that emerged beside him, smiled, and began to speak.

"Thank you all for taking the time out of your busy schedules to attend this old man’s birthday banquet. I am truly grateful and have prepared a modest feast, please enjoy it to the fullest."

"Lord Mokduo, you’re too kind!"

The crowd responded enthusiastically.

Mokduo smiled, raised his glass, and drank it all at once, officially commencing the banquet.

At this moment, Old Clan Chief Tai Falu, Jyenis Clan Leader, and others approached Mokduo, smiling as they spoke.

"Mokduo, you’ve kept this granddaughter of yours well-hidden!"

"Indeed, if I had such a wonderful granddaughter, I would have been eager to announce it long ago."

...

"I also wanted to announce it, but young people have their ideals and pursuits, not wanting to rely on family. As elders, we must support them."

Mokduo replied with a smile.

"Indeed!"

Old Clan Chief Tai Falu and others glanced at Tek and the others.

Tek and others quickly responded, heading towards Hilis.

They already admired Miss Hilis greatly, and now knowing she’s Mokduo’s pride and joy, made it even better!

"Miss Hilis, I’m Tai Falu from the Shenji Family. I’ve admired you for a long time."

"Miss Hilis, I’m Sebas from the Heint Family!"

...

Tex and others introduced themselves politely.

"Hello!"

Hilis replied politely.

At this time, Tai Falu and the other elders suggested to Mokduo with a smile.

"Mokduo, how about we go over there to chat and leave some space for the young ones?"

"Okay, Hilis, you all chat."

Mokduo also saw through Tai Falu and the others’ intentions, but this was perfectly normal behavior, so he agreed with a smile.

"Okay, Grandfather!"

Hilis nodded in response.

Mokduo and others walked off to the side with laughter and conversation, while the guests present also came forward with wine glasses to mingle.
