The Seventh Base-Chapter 554 - 20 You Are Too Weak_2

“Wait,” Xu Mo uttered, then he brought some books over to Ross and said, “Borrow these and have a good read. As the future helmsman of Lucas Star’s top-tier group, you must not forget to study. The temptations they pose now, you will be able to easily obtain in the future. Tard people, do not let down my expectations of you.”

“Yes,” Ross felt somewhat grateful as he left with the books.

Recently, some people also used their connections to approach Elizabeth, wanting to purchase energy, which made Elizabeth realize that the company’s shares might be more valuable than she had imagined.

She inquired with Ross’s side, and Ross agreed at once to prioritize his supply for her friends, making Elizabeth think highly of Ross’s intelligence. It seemed, he would need substantial support going forward.

…

As the executive officer of the company, Ross nominally controlled a large number of shares, so Xu Mo naturally had Carter and Ize keep an eye on him, watching his every move.

This guy still needed training.

Of course, the situation with Douglas made Xu Mo realize that he shouldn’t put all his eggs in one basket.

These top aristocrats of Lucas Star, at their core, still looked down on civilians, let alone someone of Servant status like him—it was arrogance ingrained in their genes.

But since Douglas was Elizabeth’s elder brother’s man, thus a princess, she was not entirely fail-safe. He needed to tie more interest groups together, the energy suppliers Elizabeth provided, also known as Elizabeth’s ‘friends,’ were all going to be tied to these dealings, hence prioritizing supplies for Elizabeth’s friends.

That day, the Library finally welcomed a distinguished guest, this being his second visit. Xu Mo had been waiting for him for a long time.

Sasi Kingdom, Sal.

Improvements in Source Power Level and Combat Power could not be achieved overnight. Although Ize and Carter were not too bad, they still fell short compared to Sal. Since Douglas could outdo Sal, it meant that Ize and Carter had little chance of defeating Douglas any time soon.

Sal remained resentful about that defeat, and, of course, he did not think he was less skilled than others.

Douglas was a third-year student in the Extraordinary Department, having joined two years before him. After two years of school, his Source Power Level was an A, and he was also a genius, so Sal could afford to lose.

Besides, Sal still remembered how Zero had struck Sak with a single sword at the dinner that night and how Xu Mo had driven him back in the library.

Therefore, Sak came to the Library again.

Seeing him arrive, Zero looked up at him, his eyes carrying a cold air.

“I’m looking for your man,” Sal said, his keen senses telling him that the relationship between Xu Mo and Zero was more than just that of master and servant; they seemed more like lovers.

Hitting women was not his style, so the man he was looking for was Xu Mo.

Sal walked toward the bookshelf and found Xu Mo beside him, who was flipping through books.

“Do the books in the library really help Transcendents with their Cultivation?” Sak picked up a book and glanced through it, whispering, naturally to Xu Mo.

“As long as you can learn to think, any book can be of use, it’s just a matter of degree,” Xu Mo responded.

“How do you plan to deal with the incident where you disrupted my business that day?” Sal’s voice had no hint of temper.

“I’m very sorry,” Xu Mo began, causing Sal to be somewhat surprised as he glanced at Xu Mo.

Was he apologizing?

“That day, I unintentionally appeared on the battlefield. It was an accident that affected the contest. It was not my intention,” Xu Mo explained.

Sal felt he was having difficulty understanding Xu Mo.

“Are you showing weakness?” Sal asked.

“Showing weakness?” Xu Mo also looked at him and said, “Elizabeth is arrogant and indeed needs a lesson. Moreover, your congratulation by the rules of the Sasi Kingdom was not a problem.”

Sal was growing more curious.

“The problem lies in the fact that you are too weak,” Xu Mo said.

“???” Sal looked at Xu Mo, bewildered. He was too weak?

“You couldn’t even withstand a single sword strike from your men, yet you went to provoke others. If I had chosen to make a move, you probably would have had to leave in disgrace that night,” Xu Mo continued. “As for Douglas afterward, he is self-righteous, attacking you with the pride of being a senior, completely shameless. If you weren’t so weak, if I were in your place, Douglas probably wouldn’t have been able to raise his head.”

“…” Sal looked at Xu Mo, whose words were light and breezy, and found himself at a loss for words.

From a standpoint, Xu Mo supported him, believing Elizabeth to be arrogant and Douglas shameless.

He agreed with these points.

But Xu Mo looked down on his strength?

He couldn’t tolerate that!!

“Your words are much more arrogant than both Elizabeth and Douglas,” Sal spoke coldly, feeling like his spirit had been crushed by Xu Mo’s arrogant words.

He couldn’t outdo Xu Mo…

“They are ignorant and arrogant, and you think they compare with me?” Xu Mo said scornfully. “If I were you, none of this would have happened. They would have already lost their face. It’s only because you are too weak that Douglas managed to retaliate and tarnish the reputation of the Sasi Royal Family.”

“……” Sal’s chest heaved, truly angered.

“It seems you want a challenge,” a powerful energy surged within him, barely visible.

“No fighting in the Library, hold it back,” Xu Mo commanded authoritatively from above.

Sal looked at Xu Mo, truly furious!!

But Sal still repressed his energy.

“You pick the place,” Sal said, determined not to let Xu Mo get away without a pounding.

“You choose the place,” Xu Mo said. “I will give you pointers. To prevent others from seeing your incompetence, let’s keep it private. You wouldn’t want to tarnish your image even more, and besides, I prefer quietude and do not wish too many people to know of my strength.”

“…”

Sal’s mind was in turmoil!
