Chapter 521: Chapter 4 Undermining–Part 2

Ross, he is a Tard person, who enrolled in Lucas University with exceptionally good grades. Here, it will be the starting point of his dream.

Glancing at the book Ross was browsing through, Xu Mo said, “It seems that the pursuit of wealth is ingrained in the bones of the Tard people.”

Closing the book, Ross looked at Xu Mo. “I’ve heard that the Anos clan are good at fighting, so why are you here working as a librarian?”

“This job is pretty good,” Xu Mo said, unconcerned.

“No, it’s because your status is lowly,” Ross said, looking at Xu Mo. “Because you are just a servant, you don’t have the qualifications to study at Lucas University, you can only work here as a part-time staff member.”

Xu Mo furrowed his brows. Was this guy attacking his life choices?

“The Tard people must be one of the most miserable races in the interstellar war, blindly pursuing wealth without any self-protection. Are you ridiculing me?” Xu Mo said, looking at Ross with interest.

This Ross was young, probably even younger than him.

“You’re wrong, wealth itself is power. The wealth of the Tard people attracted a large number of Transcendents to gather around them, becoming their servants. Even those servants obtained huge wealth and resources, becoming stronger and stronger. The Tard people just had bad luck, running into an interstellar war and the collapse of order.”

Ross stared at Xu Mo. “Right now, you have an opportunity in front of you.”

“What opportunity?” Xu Mo asked, looking at Ross with a strange expression.

“Follow me, I can bring you tremendous wealth and let you do what you want to do,” Ross said, looking at Xu Mo.

“…” Xu Mo looked at him. “So, what do you need me to do for you?”

“Since you are from the Anos clan, you should have a certain Combat Power, right? You could provide me with armed protection,” Ross said. “But first, introduce me to Ize and Sorey.”

Xu Mo realized that this guy, it turns out, wanted to make a profit without any investment.

Using him to get close to Ize and Sorey.

He knew Sorey, from Rich Star!

This is good brotherhood.

But who was Ize? What kind of person was Ize?

“Have you been deliberately getting close to me these days?” Xu Mo asked, showing a peculiar expression. Was this young guy’s scheming really that deep?

He suspected Ross was trying to play him!

First using his servant status to suppress him, was this an attempt to PUA him?

Despicable!

“Given your status, this is a tremendous opportunity for you. You’ve read many books, you should know the talents of the Tard people. I can help you change your destiny,” Ross said, his voice carrying a seductive charm.

First suppress, then offer sweets.

Had he really been just a servant, an ordinary librarian, he might have actually been tempted.

Xu Mo stared at Ross with a cold laugh.

“Why are you laughing?” Ross asked, looking at Xu Mo.

“Look into my eyes,” Xu Mo said, his voice eerily magentic. Ross’s eyes met his, only to feel that Xu Mo’s gaze was profoundly terrifying, striking fear into the heart.

“These days, you’ve deliberately caught my attention, wanting to use me to get close to Sorey and Ize so they would invest in you. You’ve used other people’s help before, but because of the Tard people’s greed and cunning, no one wanted to help you, right?” Xu Mo said, staring at Ross.

“You’re talking nonsense…” Ross’s face changed color slightly when his scheme was exposed.

“Don’t forget what I’m studying,” Xu Mo said coldly, Ross staring at him as though facing a formidable enemy.

Was this Xu Mo really a servant?

“I’ll tell you a secret, actually, I am not a servant,” Xu Mo continued, speaking as if he knew what Ross was thinking. Ross was startled, looking at him.

“I am a noble, a future Universe Warship Captain, hiding my identity to study here. You know, it’s not suitable for the Anos clan to reveal themselves,” Xu Mo told Ross.

Ross looked at him skeptically, then glanced toward Zero, who was sitting in the distance.

“Did you see that girl? A warrior of the Anos clan, brave, beautiful, flawless, but in reality, she is a servant protecting me. She comes here every day on time. Do you understand?” Xu Mo continued to allure.

Ross began to believe, as Zero indeed came here every day to watch over Xu Mo.

Seeing it this way, the likelihood was very high.

Were the two of them playing a role of reversed identities?

“You don’t need to think about using me to get close to Sorey and Ize. I can provide you with the investment you want,” Xu Mo told Ross.

“Really?” Ross stared at Xu Mo.

“Of course, but given the Tard people’s astuteness, I need to sign a sufficiently secure agreement,” Xu Mo said, staring at Ross.

After pondering for a moment, Ross looked at Xu Mo. “As long as the agreement isn’t too outrageous, I have no problem.”

He had a plan in mind to make money, but it required start-up capital.

“Don’t worry, a great Captain will not deceive a partner,” Xu Mo patted Ross’s shoulder, and Ross felt Xu Mo’s status seemed indeed extraordinary. He must be a noble from the Anos clan on the run.

“You can go back first, wait for me to draft the agreement,” Xu Mo continued, and Ross nodded, leaving with a nervous heart.

Was he this lucky?

He didn’t know that in the future, recalling this dark history, Ross’s memoir would say that this was his darkest hour. He fell into the Great Demon King’s plot and thus became the slave of the Great Demon King.

Xu Mo watched Ross’s retreating figure, thinking, this guy actually wanted to recover the damaged equipment of the Lucas University Extraordinary Department members after battles, then repair and resell them. What a talent.
