The Seventh Base-Chapter 158 - 54 The Beginning of Trouble

Chapter 158: Chapter 54 The Beginning of Trouble

The night view of Steel Dome City was spectacularly beautiful.

Xu Mo stood at the edge of the rooftop, looking at this city of steel.

In this super metropolis with a population of hundreds of millions, finding one person was incredibly difficult.

Unless, he started his search at Irina’s company.

But, if he really did that, it probably wouldn’t be good for him and Mia.

Also, although the music of “Sky City” was beautiful, it would inevitably require someone to promote it if it were to spread.

...

This might not be an unintentional act.

What did Mia want to do?

Ye Qingdie came to Xu Mo’s side and, staring at the dazzling lights of the steel city, said softly, “Sometimes, it feels like a dream, so unreal, as if we don’t belong to this world.”

The city was too vast, and the individual too insignificant.

“You’ll get used to it,” Xu Mo said with a smile.

“Yeah.” Ye Qingdie nodded, unsure where their fates would lead.

“Is something on your mind?” Ye Qingdie asked.

“Not really,” Xu Mo shook his head.

Ye Qingdie looked at Xu Mo, smiling.

“Sister Butterfly, what’s up?” Xu Mo asked.

“I don’t know when it started, but suddenly I realized that you’ve grown up, and sometimes I even get the illusion that you’re older than I am,” said Ye Qingdie with a laugh, finding the sensation somewhat absurd.

But it was indeed real.

Xu Mo looked toward the city.

Ye Qingdie’s feeling was correct.

“Xu Mo,” Ye Qingdie suddenly said, while gazing at the city.

“Hmm?” Xu Mo looked at her.

The wind blew through Ye Qingdie’s long hair as she gazed into the distance and said, “If one day, you’ve grown up, found a girlfriend, gotten married, and had children, does that mean we will have to part ways?”

She suddenly felt a twinge of heartache.

Xu Mo would grow up.

Sooner or later, their group would part ways.

“No, we won’t,” Xu Mo said.

“Why not?” Ye Qingdie was curious, as he had answered so decisively.

“How can I give up a forest for a girlfriend?” Xu Mo said with emotion.

Silly or not!

Ye Qingdie was stunned for a moment, not processing what he meant.

But then she understood and kicked him.

He’s never serious.

Xu Mo laughed.

“What are you talking about?” Lin Xi joined them, feeling that she had more to talk about with Xu Mo than with Xiao Xiao and the rest.

“Talking about the future,” Xu Mo said.

“The future,” Lin Xi murmured softly. That was a big topic.

Looking at the night view of Steel Dome City and feeling the evening breeze, Lin Xi suddenly felt a bit melancholic.

Just last night, a huge change had occurred in her life.

What would her future hold?

Lin Xi didn’t want to think about it.

At the dinner table, Sun Xiaoxiao sneaked a glance at Xu Mo and the others.

“Brother Xu Mo really likes Sister,” she muttered.

“Did you think I was lying to you?” Xiao Qi looked at her, as though to say, give up, you don’t stand a chance.

“Which sister will he choose?” Sun Xiaoxiao whispered, gossiping.

“Why choose?” Xiao Qi winked at her.

“Oh…” Sun Xiaoxiao’s eyes lit up with understanding.

“Smack!”

Xiao Qi’s head was slapped, and he turned, rubbing his head, to look at Xu Mo.

Am I not allowed to say it?

At that moment, Lin Xi’s Communicator vibrated.

She glanced at it and frowned.

Lin Jian.

It was just a message.

Lin Xi sighed, stepped aside, and took a look.

Just one glance and her expression changed.

It read just three simple words: Sister, save me!

“Huff…” Lin Xi took a deep breath, returned to the dinner table, and said to everyone, “You keep eating, I have something to take care of, I’m leaving first.”

With that, Lin Xi turned and left.

“Sister Xi…” everyone at the dinner table was somewhat puzzled.

Xu Mo also turned to look at the departing Lin Xi, sensing that something was amiss.

Lin Xi was in turmoil; she had said she would let Lin Jian fend for himself.

But upon seeing Lin Jian’s plea for help, she ultimately couldn’t stand idly by.

Lin Xi didn’t disturb the others, nor did she tell Xu Mo; this was her family affair.

“Why did Sister Xi suddenly leave?” Sun Xiaoxiao said.

“Sister Xi seemed a bit off, she just received a message on her Communicator,” Su Rou chimed in.

“I’ll go take a look; you guys sit tight for a while,” Xu Mo voiced and stepped away.

…

Black Night Voice Bar.

One of the biggest bars in Steel Dome City, it was very expensive, a hunting ground for many rich young masters.

Despite that, the number of beauties who came here was not lacking.

They were prey, lambs to the slaughter.

But prey can also be the hunter.

In one of the bar’s private rooms.

A group of men and women were partying, dressed in scanty clothes.

Lin Jian was there too, currently lying on the ground, disheveled, with blood on her face.

She was angrily staring at Ming Yu who was seated on the sofa embracing a woman, her eyes filled with grievance and rage.

“Ming Yu, you beast,” said Lin Jian, her eyes reddening.

Ming Yu looked at Lin Jian with scorn.

“Do you really still think you’re the second daughter of the Lin Family?” Ming Yu spoke to Lin Jian: “You wanted money, right? Here you go.”

With that, he tossed a handful of Federation currency onto Lin Jian’s head and said, “If you satisfy us, you’ll get more money tomorrow.”

The others on the sofa were enjoying Lin Jian’s ‘video,’ wearing special outfits. Someone spoke up, “Ming Yu, you really know how to have fun.”

Ming Yu smiled.

Last night, the Lin Family had trouble, and he heard his brother ran into some issues, but was avoided quickly.

He had received his brother’s warning not to provoke Xu Mo and to leave the academy.

Though Ming Yu didn’t like the academy, being forced to leave, he was still extremely annoyed.

He had been beaten up by Xu Mo three times.

And now he was warned not to provoke Xu Mo?

You can imagine how Ming Yu felt.

However, since his brother had said so, he did as instructed without asking too many questions.

As a hedonist, he was very aware of what it meant to be one.

But what surprised Ming Yu was that Lin Jian had sought him out.

This second daughter of the Lin family was actually homeless and asking to borrow money from him.

A lamb delivered to his doorstep, how could Ming Yu be polite? He played with her quite thoroughly.

He vented his anger on Lin Jian.

The source of this c𝐨ntent is freeweɓnovēl.coɱ.

Such a pity.

Lin Jian was not Lin Xi; otherwise, it would have been even more thrilling.

Lin Jian tried to escape, but was blocked by the genetically-modified people at the door.

“Idiot.”

Ming Yu glanced at Lin Jian, breaking all ties with Lin Xi and now coming to seek his help?

Ming Yu was almost amused by Lin Jian.

This foolish woman apparently couldn’t survive a day without money.

If that was the case, then trade your body for it.

With the status of the second daughter of the Lin family, at least that was worth some money.

……

When Lin Xi arrived at the bar, she saw many scantily clad women dancing wildly in the center of the dance floor.

She was not comfortable with such an atmosphere.

Around her, many people stared at her like prey, their gazes sweeping over her without restraint.

“Beautiful, come join us?” someone boldly invited.

Lin Xi ignored them, checking the location on the communicator in hand, searching the bar.

Moments later, Lin Xi navigated past the dance floor to a private room on the second floor, guarded by genetically-modified people outside.

Seeing Lin Xi approach, the genetically-modified guards blocked her way.

Lin Xi ignored them, preparing to push the door open.

When one of the genetically-modified people reached out to grab her, they saw Lin Xi raise a fist and strike.

At the same time, her right leg swept toward another.

“Bang, bang…”

Both men were sent flying, and Lin Xi kicked the door open.

Inside the private room.

Lin Jian, on the sofa being forced to drink, had several restless hands on her, some even reaching under her clothes.

Lin Jian was no longer in human shape.

A line of people turned their gaze towards Lin Xi at the door, narrowing their eyes.

Then many gazes brightened.

Lin Xi was significantly more appealing than Lin Jian and the vulgar women beside them.

“Lin Xi.”

Ming Yu frowned.

“Sister,” Lin Jian said, her eyes red as she looked at Lin Xi.

Lin Xi stepped forward, with genetically-modified people rushing at her from both sides. Lin Xi launched a flying kick.

“The eldest miss of the Lin family.” Hearing Lin Jian’s shout, those around understood the identity of the newcomer.

Lin Xi walked into the private room.

“Your sister came to me willingly; she took my money, it was a fair exchange.” Ming Yu shrugged nonchalantly as Lin Xi approached, such trifling matters didn’t bother him as a hedonist.

Especially since they were near his place, the Black Night Voice Bar had shares owned by the Ming Group.

This area was Ming Group’s territory.

Lin Xi stepped forward.

“What are you doing?” Ming Yu asked with a frown.

“Bang.”

Lin Xi’s fist was the answer, smashing onto Ming Yu’s head, knocking out one of his teeth.

“Bang, bang, bang…” The people beside Lin Jian were hit by the punches, their faces skewed and blood gushing out.

“Bitch.”

“I’m going to kill you,” someone cursed in anger.

The Lin family was ruined, and she dared to be so arrogant?

Someone pulled out a gun, but before the gun could be drawn, Lin Xi was upon them.

With a snap, a scream was heard, followed by a kick that sent the person flying.

“Sister.”

Lin Jian’s voice carried a sob.

Lin Xi walked up to her and slapped her, leaving Lin Jian dazed.

“Smack…” Another slap left five clear finger marks on Lin Jian’s face.

Lin Xi was completely despairing of Lin Jian.

“This is the last time; from now on, live as you wish.” Lin Xi said coldly: “Your life or death has nothing to do with me.”

Lin Jian was so foolish that she voluntarily sought out Ming Yu?

For money? That’s irrational.

Outside, many people were charging this way.

Xu Mo had also arrived; he followed because he was worried about Lin Xi.

Seeing the crowd charging, Xu Mo threw a punch, sending the person at the forefront flying into the crowd behind, all of them falling down.

He saw everything in the room, and as someone tried to draw a gun, Xu Mo rushed in, moving very quickly.

“Bang…” Someone attempting to draw a gun was smashed to the ground, unable to get up.

“Xu Mo.”

Seeing Xu Mo, Lin Xi called out; she didn’t want to disturb him, but he had come anyway.

Xu Mo walked to Lin Jian’s side and, like Lin Xi, slapped her.

He did it for Lin Xi, as this idiot wished for her own death, she shouldn’t drag others down with her.

“Sister Xi, let’s go,” Xu Mo said.

“Okay,” Lin Xi nodded, dragging Lin Jian outside with her.

Seeing Ming Yu staring, Xu Mo stepped forward and threw punch after punch at him.

“Bang, bang, bang…”

Ming Yu was dazed by the blows.

After beating him, Xu Mo followed Lin Xi out.

“Ming Yu.” The others turned towards Ming Yu.

Only to see Ming Yu regain his composure, his whole body burning with rage, his eyes bloodshot and completely devoid of reason.

“Kill him, kill them all…” Ming Yu roared.

At this moment, he had completely forgotten Ming Hui’s warning.

He wanted Xu Mo dead!!!

The communicator vibrated, Ming Yu answered, it was the bar manager.

“Young Master Yu, what’s going on?”

“Kill them,” Ming Yu said, his eyes filled with bloodthirsty hatred.

This was his Ming territory, even the Security Bureau’s people were theirs.

On his own turf, he was beaten up by Xu Mo again.

Ming Yu dialed a number that had no name, his bloodshot eyes like that of a wild beast.

He wanted Xu Mo dead!!!
