The Seventh Base-Chapter 546 - 17 Danger

Chapter 546 -17 Danger

Sorey was also there, and Yekaterina was present as well; they seemed to all know Xu Mo, probably having met him at the Library.

Elizabeth couldn’t help but remark that Xu Mo indeed had talent. Although he was merely a servant of the Anos Clan and a librarian, not even qualifying as a student at Lux University,

he had managed to establish friendships with many people in a short period of time—he knew Carter, Ize, Yekaterina, and Sorey, among others.

Arriving at the banquet, he quickly drew the attention of many around him. Although he may have taken some shortcuts, and those Noble Young Masters might not truly admire him, seeing it as just playing around at the banquet, it was at least clear that Xu Mo was very skilled at socializing.

Additionally, with his knowledge reserve and rich theory, if he became her attendant and was further cultivated, he would become a decent subordinate in the future. If Xu Mo proved exceptional, becoming her right-hand man was not out of the question.

It was precisely for this reason that she had instructed Ize and Carter to bring Xu Mo to her. The ultimate goal was to subdue Xu Mo. For the proud Princess of Lucas Star, if Xu Mo had no value, she would not waste any time on him, not even a glance.

Of course, there was another reason: she was very upset, extremely upset, about the incident that day. Zero of the Anos Clan had dared to point his sword at her, and Xu Mo had rejected her. These were things her pride could not tolerate, so she was being competitive. She was determined to regain her dignity. She would not lose.

Elizabeth walked back; she didn’t look at Xu Mo again—let him watch and think on his own.

A wise man knows how to make the most advantageous decisions for himself, and she trusted that Xu Mo would understand.

Elizabeth was busy greeting the guests; more and more people came to offer their congratulations, and the atmosphere was getting richer.

Ross was somewhat intoxicated in this ambiance, and he approached Elizabeth to chat for a moment. Afterward, she introduced him to others as her friend.

As a business partner and an executive of the corporation, facilitating networking opportunities for Ross was also to her own benefit. Indeed, just as Xu Mo had guessed, she had many needs that required money. Although the Royal Family provided her with a fixed monthly allowance, there were times when she had excess expenditures, and she couldn’t ask her family for more, as that would make her seem incompetent.

Elizabeth had a general understanding of the shares Ize and Carter had given her, which could bring continual profits for her in the future; this gift was indeed to her taste—practical and not ostentatious.

Hence, Ross got to know many nobles from the upper echelons, exchanging contact details with them. Furthermore, many high-born ladies, who were usually very discerning, were there, all of which intoxicated the Tard people for the moment.

If only all this belonged to him.

Ross began to drink, very cheerful, as more and more people came up to toast him.

Xu Mo noticed Ross’s demeanor. The Tard people were natural capitalists, plunderers of wealth, but Ross was still young after all. He needed experience, and without it, he would just have to be ‘thrashed’ a few more times by Xu Mo.

Once ‘thrashed,’ one naturally learns his lessons.

Xu Mo walked toward Ross, and the women surrounding him gradually dispersed. After all, as merely a librarian, Xu Mo would not garner too much attention from the Noble Young Masters. They had come that day with a more important purpose: to establish high-level connections, and they couldn’t spend too much time on Xu Mo.

For example, at this moment, a very pretty lady in sportswear, appearing pure and clean with an especially sweet smile and easy grace, was chatting with Ross, who seemed captivated by her.

“Mr. Ross,” at that moment, Xu Mo called out.

Ross, who was drinking, turned his head toward Xu Mo’s voice. The lady next to him smiled and asked, “Ross, is this your friend?”

“We know each other, but I wouldn’t call it friendship,” Ross replied.

Xu Mo looked at Ross, who had had some drinks and seemed a bit carried away.

“Indeed, there was once a debt relationship,” Xu Mo said softly with a chuckle, squatting down. Ross shuddered and instantly felt seven parts sober, chilled to the bone.

Then he saw Xu Mo’s smile, which seemed friendly, but Ross felt it was more like the smile of a devil.

This damned ghost, can’t he just let me enjoy one day of binge?

Even just for one night would be fine.

“You lent him money?” the woman looked toward Ross and inquired.

Ross didn’t respond; he only listened as Xu Mo said with a laugh, “Yes, I have to thank Mr. Ross for his help with the last issue. Otherwise, I’m afraid I wouldn’t have been able to stay at the school, and it was Mr. Ross who gave me this opportunity to sit here and chat with you, Miss.”

Hearing Xu Mo’s words, Ross felt a chilling sensation from head to toe; the weather was somewhat hot, but he felt a very cold draft.

Xu Mo was talking about him!

“Mr. Ross, I’m very grateful,” Xu Mo continued with a smile. “Will you carry on?”

With that, he stood up and left. Watching Xu Mo’s departing figure, Ross found his back was actually damp, and his emotions underwent a great change—one thought of heaven, one thought of Hell.

“What’s wrong?” the lady next to him asked with a smile.

“Nothing, I just want to sit alone for a bit.” Ross signaled the lady to leave, and she, looking somewhat bemused, regarded Ross.

“If you have worries on your mind, it might help to talk about them. Sometimes, it feels better to speak up,” the lady offered understandingly.
