Chapter 718: Chapter 96 Zero Changed_2

“Regarding official matters, since Blue Star Energy Technology Group is covering the expenses this time, I’ll try to persuade my family,” Sal said. His Sasi Kingdom was ruled by the Royal Family, with his family holding absolute power.

Military operations rely on two things, having no apparent reason and having funding.

If both of these issues are resolved, the Sasi Kingdom could treat this operation as a drill, as there hasn’t been war in a long time, and it’s good to stay practiced.

Moreover, Sal was actually the heir apparent of the kingdom. Among the people here, there were four from the Royal Family, but Sal’s status within the family was the highest, followed by Eliza, though she was not the primary heir.

After them were Sorey and Yekaterina.

“I will also do my best,” Elizabeth said, disagreeing with Sal’s words.

“Eliza, it will not be easy for Lucas Star to send troops,” Xu Mo spoke up. “Carter and I suspect that some high-ranking officials on Lucas Star are involved, using external forces to suppress Blue Star Energy Technology Group, aiming to destroy us. Thus, this operation is crucial. If we can take down the Olay family, we also need to find out who is providing them with information.”

What happens once can happen again.

With someone plotting from behind, if they do nothing, the bases of Blue Star Energy Technology Group will be useless. The vast expanse of space would become a natural hunting ground for the opposition.

“Hmph,” Sal snorted coldly. “Lucas Star prides itself on civilization, yet it seems to collude with evil forces on those chaotic planets.”

Such matters were not secret among the elites. He had heard about it in his family. Not governing the chaotic planets was due to having no apparent reason and the high costs, but that didn’t hinder their movements behind the scenes.

“In that case, this is a good chance to see who would oppose military action,” Elizabeth quickly understood Xu Mo’s words.

“If Lucas Star cannot act, the Aerospace Union can deploy its armed forces, as it was their ships that were destroyed,” Carter added, obviously supporting Eliza unconditionally.

“Our Odin Mountain Star has limited capabilities. I’ll do my best,” Sorey said. Their military capabilities were restricted since Odin Mountain Star, being an energy star, was closely monitored by Xu Mo, and it wasn’t allowed to develop significant military power. Though the Star System Alliance was a peaceful alliance, it was still a place of constant intrigue.

Xu Mo believed that Odin Mountain Star was probably willing, as this was a chance for development for them.

“I will also do my best,” Yekaterina said, as her status in the family had improved a lot, but for such a major matter, even her family didn’t have absolute decision-making power.

Thus, the outcome remained unknown.

“Everyone, the over two hundred people on the spaceship are employees of Blue Star Energy Technology Group. They were executed in space. We don’t know what they faced, but even if we don’t consider the interests of Blue Star Energy Technology Group, those over two hundred lives need blood for blood. Regardless of who participates or not, military action is imperative. Please,” Xu Mo said somberly.

Of those over two hundred people, a small portion was from Lucas Star, but most were from the base–those soldiers from Byron Star who had silently supported him and had built the base.

From any perspective, the Olay family must be destroyed. Even if no one else participates, he would employ the forces of Blue Star Energy Technology Group to hunt them down.

Of course, if there could be a joint military operation, things would be completely different. Firstly, it would lead to the total destruction of the Olay family, and secondly, it would solidify the standing of Blue Star Energy Technology Group, binding them more deeply with the great planets. Who could easily target them then?

Besides, he had another concern. This incident had caused quite a stir, and the news had spread. The outside world would know that Blue Star Energy Technology had bases on other planets.

Camp Star had always been watching him, and this might lead them to suspect and re-examine Byron.

This is why Xu Mo had to prepare. With this military operation, even if the Byron Star base was exposed and discovered by Camp Star, they would have to carefully consider if they could withstand the wrath of the major planets.

The seriousness of Xu Mo’s expression made everyone nod solemnly, especially Elizabeth. Many of the dead were from Lucas Star, and if officials from Lucas Star were involved, it would be a grievous matter.

“Blue Star Energy Technology Group will undoubtedly become the most powerful group in the Star System Alliance. This is not just a company making money; we are engaged in a great cause,” Xu Mo continued, looking at the people. “Our future is the stars and the sea.”

The style seemed to suddenly change, and everyone felt a bit fired up when they heard Xu Mo’s words.

At first, they really just wanted to make some money, but as the Blue Star Energy Technology Group grew, they began to see many possibilities.

Moreover, Xu Mo had a special personal charm. He seemed to be playing at life, but in fact, he was always progressing toward a goal. Where would he end up in the future?

“Alright, time to go to work,” Xu Mo added, “I’ll be waiting for your good news.”

Everyone nodded and dispersed. Elizabeth and Sal exchanged glances as if they were about to start a big fight at any moment, but they ultimately restrained themselves.

Ize and Carter naturally followed Elizabeth.

Sorey and Yekaterina left together.

“Zero, being so obedient today?” Xu Mo praised, and just as he finished speaking, a sharp pain hit his waist, Zero’s beautiful eyes glaring at him.

Xu Mo endured it.

“Doesn’t it hurt?” Zero asked when she saw Xu Mo not speaking.

“It hurts,” Xu Mo nodded, and seeing Zero’s big eyes full of confusion, he continued, “But it stops when I see you.”

Zero’s eyelashes fluttered, she let go of her grip, and Xu Mo took her hand, leading her towards the Library.

“Do you like wearing that?” Zero asked.

“Huh?” Xu Mo was stunned.

“The one that calls you master,” Zero glared at him.

“No, I like you the way you are,” Xu Mo replied.

“Oh,” Zero nodded, “I was thinking about wearing it for you in the future too.”
