The Seventh Base-Chapter 545 - 16: Whose Home Court_2

Chapter 545 -16: Whose Home Court_2

“It’s an honor to meet you, Princess.” Mr. Ross took a deep breath, steadied his mind, and extended his hand to shake hands with Elizabeth.

Elizabeth touched his hand politely, and the fleeting pleasant sensation made Ross somewhat nostalgic, truly wishing that one day he might have the chance to hold the hand of the beautiful and noble Princess, leading to the holy hall and becoming a top figure of Lucas Star.

At that moment, Ross fantasized about many stories.

“Please feel at ease, Mr. Ross,” Elizabeth said kindly.

“Thank you,” Ross nodded, took a seat to one side, and many people approached to greet him; all were noble young masters who exchanged contact details with him, all of which felt dreamlike to Ross.

He remembered the past when he was bankrupt and everyone was against him, wondering if that was a dream, or if now was a dream?

Or perhaps, both were dreams!

Sorey and Yekaterina arrived together, looking somewhat like a couple as they walked side by side.

Sorey scanned the crowd with his gaze but did not see Xu Mo and his siblings.

Before coming here, Xu Mo had entrusted them with some matters.

They already knew that Princess Elizabeth was now a shareholder of the group with a ten percent stake, transferred by Ize and Carter, and naturally, they had no objections.

Upon learning of their arrival, Elizabeth also stepped forward and extended her hand saying, “I’ve always wanted to travel to Odin Mountain Star and Carolan Star. If there’s a chance, could you both be my guides?”

“Leave Odin Mountain Star to me,” Sorey replied promptly.

“No problem,” Yekaterina also responded. With Elizabeth becoming a shareholder, Yekaterina keenly felt that Xu Mo’s plans were grand, having brought the Royal Families of several major planets into the group.

It seemed that her receiving shares and Elizabeth’s were no coincidence.

Xu Mo was smarter than she had imagined, having seemingly completed his arrangements without anyone realizing it.

Moreover, looking back, although none of them took any risk, the largest shareholder, Xu Mo, appeared to have nothing at all!

However, Yekaterina didn’t see that as a problem. It was Xu Mo’s strategy.

The man was extremely intelligent, it was only a pity about his status.

One after another, people of some standing came to offer their congratulations, among them were noble young masters attending Lucas University, all wanting to connect with Elizabeth.

Not only new students but also upperclassmen.

As a result, the castle was particularly lively at the moment.

Ize and Carter were waiting outside.

Finally, a figure slowly approached from the distance.

The two breathed a sigh of relief, as they certainly had to take good care of the matters entrusted by Elizabeth.

“You finally came,” Ize spoke, somewhat worried that Xu Mo would not honor the appointment.

“Why wouldn’t I come to eat and drink for free?” Xu Mo said.

The three of them walked towards the inside, and Ize whispered, “Why did he also give away shares?”

Carter, who was also in the know, looked at Xu Mo.

“We are all brothers, and you all asked for my advice. I couldn’t give different advice, right? It’s so difficult for me,” Xu Mo sighed. “But you really are generous, just don’t regret it later.”

Ize couldn’t help it; what Xu Mo said was true, as brothers, he shouldn’t show favoritism to anyone.

“Don’t worry, what’s given is given,” Ize said magnanimously, not caring much about money.

The three entered, and Xu Mo saw that the banquet outside had already started, and it was extremely luxurious.

This was what Elizabeth called a simple birthday celebration.

Moreover, whether men or women, their attractiveness was very high. Of course, Xu Mo automatically ignored the men. Many women arriving here were dressed in formal gowns, both sexy and dignified, incredibly stunning.

Xu Mo thought to himself that he must not let Zero see this.

Ize and Carter let Xu Mo do as he pleased while they headed towards Elizabeth.

“Prioritizing beauty over friendship,” Xu Mo muttered to himself. He saw Ize and Carter speak to Elizabeth in the distance, and Elizabeth glanced over at Xu Mo, pride flashing in her beautiful eyes.

“Let him stay by himself,” Elizabeth commanded. She had invited Xu Mo over to let him broaden his horizons.

Xu Mo was smart. Having been snubbed and seen luxury, he would naturally start thinking.

As a servant, once he had experienced everything tonight, he should understand what choices to make, right?

What could a fugitive from the Anos Clan offer him?

If he followed her, on the other hand, it would be wholly different.

With this thought, Elizabeth shifted her gaze, smiling warmly at a handsome young man who stepped forward.

“Miss Elizabeth, happy birthday,” the young man said with a smile. “The gift is rather large and it’s outside. Would you like to step outside to take a look?”

“Okay,” Elizabeth nodded and walked towards the outside, followed by a crowd of people, all passing by Xu Mo.

Soon, a burst of exclamations came from outside.

It was a new model flying car, with extremely cool curves and a perfect design, with a pure white body that seemed custom-made for Elizabeth.

Xu Mo glanced at it and thought to himself how extravagant it was, wondering how much it would cost. He wanted to buy one for Zero and Sister Butterfly each.

Besides the flying car, there were various other gifts, many laid out for display, all eye-catching and quite valuable.

“Miss Elizabeth is really fortunate,” a woman beside Xu Mo remarked wistfully. She too was a noble, but her status was not high enough to interact with Elizabeth directly, only able to watch from the sidelines, and she wouldn’t think of giving such expensive gifts either.

Such a birthday banquet was what many girls dreamt of.

Xu Mo glanced at the woman, who was dressed in a sexy and striking red evening gown and was very beautiful.

“Alice, what about you?” The woman raised her glass of red wine towards Xu Mo in a toast.

“Xu Mo,” he responded with a smile.

“Xu Mo?” Alice felt the name was familiar and murmured, “Seems like I’ve heard this name somewhere before.”

“Library?” suggested Xu Mo.

Alice was taken aback, then said, “The librarian?”

“Mhm,” Xu Mo nodded.

He saw Alice’s previously somewhat humble expression suddenly change, her head tilting back slightly as if she was a proud princess, superior to others.

This transformation amazed Xu Mo — were these noble girls really so formidable at such a young age?

The speed of their change in demeanor was just too fast.

Perhaps she had come here hoping for a chance encounter, only to find out he wasn’t her target?

“I heard you’re good at psychology,” Alice said to Xu Mo with a playful smile.

“I know a bit,” Xu Mo replied.

“So what am I thinking?” Alice asked.

“This humble librarian, how did he manage to sneak in here?” Xu Mo said with a smile, causing Alice’s expression to change slightly, but she quickly recovered, maintaining her smile as she looked at Xu Mo and said, “Interesting.”

“What are you talking about?” A few more beautiful women walked over.

“Mr. Xu Mo is proficient in psychology. Want to give it a try?” Alice said with a smile.

“Really?” The group showed some interest, finding it quite fascinating.

Soon, more women gathered around Xu Mo.

“What are you playing at?” A voice carried over from behind. The group of women turned around to see Sorey and Yekaterina approaching; they had just shaken hands with Elizabeth, and the women had inquired about their identities.

Members of the royal families from Odin Mountain Star and Carolan Star.

“Psychology,” Xu Mo replied with a smile.

Sorey scanned the crowd, silently counting the number in his head and thought to himself that Xu Mo was rather impressive.

How long had it been?

“Brother Xu Mo, when can you teach me this psychology?” Sorey asked.

“Have you asked Yekaterina?” Xu Mo said with a smile. Sorey turned to Yekaterina and said with a laugh, “That way I can understand what Yekaterina is thinking.”

“It seems you have already taught quite a few,” Yekaterina said to Xu Mo.

“Umm…”

Was he the one to be blamed for this too?

The surrounding girls all looked surprised; were Xu Mo, Sorey, and Yekaterina that close?

Elsewhere, Elizabeth turned and walked in their direction, curious about the crowd. She soon spotted Xu Mo, who was surrounded by people in the center.

Her heart felt a bit chaotic at the sight.

She had wanted to make Xu Mo feel the discomfort of being neglected, but now…

Whose home ground was this??
