Chapter 908: Chapter 6: Ceding Power (Extended Chapter) (Part 3)
“Mr. Xu Mo, you killed a bishop and destroyed the Church’s fleet. It’s likely difficult for you to find a safe haven in the future. The Church is extrely protective and vengeful; their thods are despicable. If they’re able to capture you, the outco would be unfavorable. Do you have any plans?” Zack asked from the front.
“I haven’t thought too far ahead. I happened to et Kesli on the way and had a chat with him. We got along well, so I’m planning to collaborate with Skull Star,” Xu Mo said tentatively. Hearing Xu Mo’s words, Lincoln adjusted his glasses, while Chris squinted.
“Oh?” Zack asked, “How does Mr. Xu Mo plan to collaborate?”
“I have my own team in a faraway star domain capable of producing military weapons. I’m planning to relocate to Skull Star and develop there, using Skull Star as a base,” Xu Mo replied.
“What will Skull Star gain?” Zack asked, which made Xu Mo feel a bit strange. Zack seed to have missed the key information. If he collaborates with Chris, naturally it’s to help Chris control the Skull Army.
Is Zack pretending not to understand, or does he not care?
“Of course, to enhance strength. None of you would hope for Skull Star to be invaded one day, would you?” Xu Mo said, “This is a win-win situation. If I establish a base on Skull Star, it will inevitably develop Skull Star’s military and technology.”
Zack said nothing as the group arrived outside a castle where a banquet was already prepared. Zack sat directly at the top position and said to Chris, “Chris, sit next to .”
Chris glanced at Zack, then walked forward and sat beside Zack, while Lincoln sat lower down.
Below them were two young people, a boy and a girl.
The boy was Zack’s son, who also had purple hair and a cold gaze, similar in age to Chris, nad Hans.
The girl was remarkably beautiful, with a quiet charm and shoulder-length short hair, Lincoln’s daughter, Nuolin.
Besides them, many high-ranking mbers of the Skull Army were seated, making the atmosphere seem slightly delicate.
“Mr. Xu Mo, please dine,” Zack said. The banquet he prepared was very sumptuous; many kinds of at emitted a tantalizing aroma, seemingly made from special materials.
Xu Mo glanced down and saw Zack directly grab a piece of at and start eating, saying, “Rest assured, it’s not poisoned.”
Others also began eating the at heartily, and Xu Mo joined in, not blaming him for being cautious; it’s prudent to be wary when outside.
“Mr. Xu Mo, a toast,” Zack raised his glass towards Xu Mo. Soone poured wine for Xu Mo, who raised his glass towards Zack from afar and drank it in one gulp.
“Crack.”
At that mont, an untily sound was heard as everyone’s eyes turned to see Hans, Zack’s son, crushing the cup in his hand. He placed the shattered cup on the table, rubbing his palm against it, pulverizing the shards into powder.
Many glanced at Hans but quickly lowered their heads, all appearing unusually silent, and the atmosphere beca even more delicate.
“Family matters should be solved internally. What’s the aning of bringing outsiders?” Hans’ cold voice resonated, his purple hair gently waving, evidently displeased with Chris’s actions.
In his view, Chris bringing Xu Mo into Skull Star was certainly inviting trouble.
Since Xu Mo could destroy the Church’s fleet, it implied his warship’s power could also deliver a devastating blow to Skull Star.
Chris intended to seize power through an outsider; everyone understood this, but no one spoke out. Hans’s words at this mont undoubtedly exposed the situation.
“Hans,” Zack frowned and glanced at Hans.
“Mr. Xu Mo’s warship can destroy the Church’s fleet and is willing to collaborate with Skull Star for developnt. What’s inappropriate about that?” Chris frowned, countering, “As for you, Hans, what do you an by ‘family matters,’ what are you implying?”
“Collaborate?” Hans retorted sarcastically, “At the very least, we should seek our opinions first instead of directly bringing people to Skull Star.”
“Hans,” Nuolin admonished, and Hans snorted, refraining from further speech.
The three of them used to be as close as brothers, growing up together since childhood.
But now, the relationships have beco delicate.
Chris looked around the crowd, saying, “I plan to collaborate with Mr. Xu Mo to jointly develop Skull Star. What do Second Uncle and Third Uncle think?”
Second Uncle and Third Uncle referred to Zack and Lincoln.
Previously, the three leaders of the Skull Army referred to each other as brothers.
“If it can develop Skull Star, of course, there’s no problem,” Zack looked at Chris and asked, “Chris, do you have any plans?”
Plans?
Chris paused, looking at Xu Mo, and this scene made Zack reveal a disappointed expression.
Xu Mo saw Chris’s gaze and then looked at Zack, saying, “Once my team arrives, they will establish bases on Skull Star and surrounding planets. After the bases are ford, high-end weapons will be produced and subsequently sold to other planets. To open up channels, your assistance will be needed. Additionally, my team will set up defenses in the Skull Star Domain to enhance protective strength. This is the current achievable goal.”
“As for the future, when enough has been accumulated, we can head to the Advanced Civilization Stars to acquire personnel and technology, augnt military strength. Ideally, transforming the Skull Star Domain into an impregnable fortress. Once strength is enhanced, the weaponry produced at my base star can also be directly transported here.”
