Chapter 653: Chapter 65 Entry_2
What secret is this librarian hiding?
Full of curiosity, Nan Xiangyi observed Xu Mo with intrigue. The Baloma Kingdom’s Prince Nilo was arrogant and tyrannical, nearly killing Wal without consequence, untouchable and unopposed. However, the first ti he crossed Xu Mo, Xu Mo knocked him over, dragged him out by the neck, and the second ti Nilo ca to settle scores, he ended up beaten badly. It was as if Nilo, the grim reaper, was being toyed with at the clap of hands.
Even Nilo himself hadn’t realized how terrifying Xu Mo was.
At this mont, one of the students, Carlo, stood up and said, “The incident that happened at Lucas University this ti, if Professor Lucas is convicted, and Nilo is still allowed to stay at this school, each of you, the elites of Lucas University, are responsible.”
Impressed, Xu Mo turned his head to take a look, realizing there were indeed formidable individuals among these students.
“This place is full of talents,” Xu Mo thought to himself. He needed to manage them well.
Blue Star Energy Technology Group’s developnt couldn’t lack talents!
As the Group grew, the demand for people would only increase, and the students from Lucas University were all ready-made talents.
……
In the Lucas Star Capital, it was the end of the workday, and busy people were on their way ho.
The skytrain moved at high speed, packed with a crowd. So bowed their heads playing with communicators, while others looked up at the screens in the train.
“A Lucas University scandal?” soone scrolled through the news, clicked on the update and was quickly captivated.
“How could such a thing happen at Lucas University, the highest institution of learning?” A voice on the train expressed anger. The news was very detailed and included two videos.
The videos were of the conflict between Nilo and Wal, with Nilo attempting to kill Wal, and the second video showed Lucas University students rioting, besieging Nilo, and finally being suppressed by the ard forces of Lucas University, opening fire on the students.
“Have these bastards gone mad? The students of Lucas University are elites, yet they dare to shoot?”
“Just because Nilo is the Prince of the Baloma Kingdom, he can do as he pleases? Lucas University’s sheltering, becoming the backer of the assailant, is this still Lucas Star or the Baloma Kingdom?”
Many people posted comnts, the public outraged.
Voices of anger erupted on the train, and at that mont, the news also started broadcasting on the screen.
It was not just on the train; many places in the Lucas Star Capital were experiencing similar scenes. In an incredibly short span of ti, the news surged to the top of the trending topics, sparking public debate and growing dissatisfaction among the people receiving the push notifications.
That was Lucas University, touted as the premier institution of the Star System Alliance.
So questioned, why did Lucas University protect Nilo? Were the school’s higher-ups bribed? Was there corruption involved?
As the news exploded externally, the university’s senior officials’ communicators were bombarded with enquires from all sides. Judging from the news, the nature of the incident was deplorable, a huge scandal. It had been many years since Lucas University had seen such an incident, and the public relations team urgently tried to refute the claims, but without substantial evidence, they were not convincing.
Many dia outlets entered Lucas University overnight to investigate the truth of the incident, questioning students, and what they found was strikingly consistent: the news was true, not exaggerated, and just stating the facts.
After receiving the news, the school authorities urgently sealed off the campus and expelled the journalists.
Under the night sky, Nan Xiangyi walked through the campus, noticing the school’s commotion.
“What happened?” Nan Xiangyi asked a passing female student.
“The school scandal exploded into public debate outside; they are now busy locking down the school and expelling journalists,” the female student replied with sarcasm. Nan Xiangyi was taken aback. Was the public debate outside pressuring the school?
Nan Xiangyi realized that this was Xu Mo’s doing, but such actions must have required substantial effort, money, and resources—without them, an ordinary news story wouldn’t make much of a splash and would be easily drowned out.
Still, was public opinion enough?
Nan Xiangyi suddenly grew curious about whether Xu Mo had other moves up his sleeve.
As the public debate continued to fernt, Lucas University’s students quickly beca aware of it, and many joined the fray. If the school didn’t co forward to admit its mistakes and expel Niel, as students of Lucas University, they were all guilty.
The individual responsible for this matter must also step down.
The uproar of public opinion grew louder and uncontrollable, uncovering many issues, even involving secrets.
Within the campus, a figure clad in Battle Armor walked slowly, their face unseen.
At that mont, the Communicator vibrated, and Xu Mo picked it up to answer.
“The public outcry is boiling over, with huge disturbances outside, and it’s not just us in action, soone is stirring the pot,” Carter began.
“Who could it be?” Xu Mo inquired.
“Students from Lucas University, many of them are not to be underestimated, and furthermore, a secret was leaked in the external public opinion,” Carter continued.
“What secret?” Xu Mo asked.
“About the collaboration between Lucas University and the Baloma Kingdom,” Carter said. “Have you heard of the chanical Body with a human brain?”
“Hmm.” Xu Mo acknowledged, recalling references to it in the books at Lucas University, and while the technology already existed, the Star System Alliance had yet to realize it, though a more advanced technological civilization had.
cha of the current generation, both first and second, considered the chanical Body with a human brain as the third generation.
The second generation cha is controlled by brainwaves, executing commands issued via the brain.
The chanical Body with a human brain implicates scanning the entire human neural system into the chanical Body to beco a chanical warrior, a technology banned from research on many planets since it required human experintation.
Moreover, this technology had many other applications.
Lucas University was conducting research in collaboration with the Baloma Kingdom, and this could not be done without circumventing the official stance of Lucas Star.
“The research into this technology is highly risky; perhaps the slaves of the Baloma Kingdom are better suited for it,” Carter said, noting that if the research were successful, the already slave army-equipped Baloma Kingdom would significantly enhance its combat power.
Behind this undoubtedly lay imnse interests, no wonder Nilo was so arrogant and oppressive, as Lucas University didn’t dare to punish him.
“It seems the school’s higher-ups are also playing a ga,” Xu Mo uttered, realizing that such a leak of secrets was highly likely from inside Lucas University itself and that the incident had probably angered many.
“Don’t concern yourselves with what happens next; make sure to avoid leaving any loose ends,” Xu Mo instructed.
“Alright,” Carter nodded.
Xu Mo set down the Communicator and continued forward, arriving outside the school’s castle.
The guards recognized Xu Mo’s attire and let him pass without question. In the palace courtyard, Elizabeth walked out, her surprise evident as she approached and said, “Sir, I thought you wouldn’t co.”
It had been a long ti since Elizabeth had seen Xu Mo, or rather the disguised Xu Mo, and she thought he wouldn’t appear again.
Xu Mo looked at the beautiful figure approaching him, Elizabeth knew he was coming, and she hadn’t even had ti to change her clothes, only wearing a simple white nightgown. Despite her plain, makeup-free face, she was still stunning, and her casual attire, while less regal, offered a sense of lazy beauty.
Noticing Xu Mo’s gaze, Elizabeth glanced down at herself and spoke apologetically, “I’m sorry, sir, I’ll go change clothes.”
Xu Mo nodded silently, turning away as Elizabeth returned to the palace, her cheeks blushing. She felt peculiar, pondering how her teacher must be young too? She hadn’t been mindful of proper etiquette.
It wasn’t long before Elizabeth erged in Battle Armor. With such a quick change, Xu Mo surmised that she probably hadn’t changed after all, simply donning the Battle Armor over her attire.
“Shall we begin?” Elizabeth, holding a sword, asked Xu Mo.
“I didn’t co to train you this ti,” Xu Mo said in a hoarse voice, as matters had progressed to this stage.
Next, it was ti for Elizabeth to take the stage!
