The Seventh Base-Chapter 559 - 22 Eliza’s Tactics_2

“…….” Elizabeth cursed inwardly, “You traitor!”

He was clearly capable of defeating Sak, yet there he was putting on an act.

With this realization, Elizabeth’s eyes took on a sharper edge. Since Sak was Sal’s powerful servant, if she could win over Xu Mo, Sal would no longer be able to swagger before her in the future.

She would definitely find a way to make Xu Mo submit to her.

“I understand, Ize. You can go about your business now,” said Elizabeth.

“Alright.” Ize nodded and left.

After he had gone, Elizabeth picked up the communicator and sent a message to Carter. Before long, Carter appeared beside her and said, “Elizabeth, you wanted to see me.”

“Carter, what’s Xu Mo’s combat power like?” Elizabeth asked.

“I haven’t fully figured it out,” Carter said.

Elizabeth gave him a penetrating stare, and the look made Carter feel uneasy, somewhat cold.

“You can go,” Elizabeth said.

“…….” Carter looked at Elizabeth, “Elizabeth, did I do something wrong?”

“I just had a visit from Ize,” Elizabeth said calmly, continuing to walk ahead as if disappointed.

A sly glint passed through Carter’s effeminate eyes. Had Ize sold out Xu Mo to please Elizabeth?

From his understanding, Ize wasn’t that kind of person, but then, Elizabeth did not seem to be testing him; she appeared quite certain.

“It seems that Xu Mo has become more important to you than I am. He told you to say nothing, and you kept it from me,” Elizabeth continued.

“…….” Carter felt his heart sinking.

It seems people do change after all. Had Ize sold out Xu Mo to please Elizabeth?

He hadn’t expected Ize to resort to such means.

Watching Elizabeth’s retreating figure, Carter caught up and said, “Elizabeth, it’s not that I wanted to keep it from you. Previously, Xu Mo’s strength didn’t matter to you, and you weren’t interested. And we really did promise Xu Mo, we should keep our word. However, I was thinking of using other methods to hint to you, but since you already know, there’s no need to do that anymore.”

“So, to what extent do you think his combat power has reached?” Elizabeth asked.

Carter thought for a moment before answering, “I’m not exactly sure, but he can easily crush both me and Ize.”

“…….” Elizabeth showed a look of surprise. In that case, Xu Mo’s combat power might not necessarily be weaker than hers?

“What are his hobbies?” Elizabeth continued, thinking that to win Xu Mo over, she might have to start with his preferences.

“Hobbies?” Without hesitation, Carter said, “Money!”

“Understood.” Elizabeth nodded. He loves money?

Well, that would make things easier.

She happened to have some shares on hand, worth a good amount of money.

Despite her annoyance with Xu Mo, he was indeed valuable. It was worth the cost to buy a capable subordinate.

Moreover, Xu Mo could continue to grow and assist her.

Once Xu Mo had completely submitted to her, she would settle accounts with him!

“You may go,” Elizabeth said.

“Yes.” Carter left the area.

After his departure, he was seething with anger and dialed Ize’s number directly. Although he didn’t have Ize’s number saved, he remembered it.

“Where are you?” Carter said coldly.

“Where are you?” Ize responded with equal frost, this shameless bastard.

“Let’s meet up.” Carter said.

“Fine.” Ize agreed.

Before long, the two appeared on the Battlefield.

Sworn enemies glared fiercely upon meeting. Without wearing their gear or taking up arms, they charged at each other, radiating anger in every move.

“Betraying friends for glory.”

“Despicable and shameless.”

The two hurled insults at each other, then closed in for a vicious brawl, fists to flesh, my punch for your kick, Source Power erupting, all fueled by rage.

“Bang, bang, bang, bang…”

The battle between the two was brutal since they wore no armor.

After repelling each other, they rushed forward once more to continue their ferocious fight.

Half an hour later, both sat on the ground, Ize with swollen eyes, Carter with a bruised face, and not a single spot on their bodies unscathed.

“Ize, I never thought you could be so vile, betraying a friend to curry favor with Elizabeth.”

“What did you say?” Ize retorted angrily, “The thief cries ‘catch the thief’! If you hadn’t betrayed Xu Mo first, how would Elizabeth have known?”

“???” Carter looked at Ize: “Asshole, still spouting blood and lies.”

Just as they were ready to fight again, Carter realized something was wrong and said, “When did you meet with Elizabeth?”

“An hour and a half ago.” Ize said, “She told me you had told her everything.”

“…” Carter knew he had been tricked and said, “When I called you on the Communicator, I had just met with her. She said she had just seen you and that you had told her everything.”

“…” Ize also paused, the two staring at one another, looking at the wounds on each other’s faces, mouths agape.

“You idiot.”

“Moron!”

Both men cursed each other out, finding themselves at a loss for words. All that fighting for nothing?

And they had sold out Xu Mo.

But whom could they go to, to make sense of this?

Confront Elizabeth? The key issue was that they had indeed concealed things from Elizabeth…

“Let’s go to Xu Mo.” Carter finally said, having sold out Xu Mo, they at least owed him a heads-up, otherwise, their friendship was done for.

“Hmm.” Ize nodded, the two in agreement. Then, in silence, they left, covering their faces as they made their way to the Library to find Xu Mo.

“What happened to your faces?” Xu Mo looked at Ize and Carter.

Did these two nutcases get in a fight again?

And this time so severely, going at it with bare fists?

“You tell him,” Carter said, sounding somewhat sullen.

“Xu Mo…” Ize began, then relayed the whole incident to Xu Mo.

Xu Mo listened with astonishment, looking at the injuries on their faces, he felt a bit guilty for wanting to laugh.

So they were played by Elizabeth?

He had not expected that woman to be so cunning.

“You can’t blame yourselves for this; just be more careful in the future and make sure not to reveal anything else,” Xu Mo said.

“Understood,” they said in low voices, then left together.

After they departed, Xu Mo found the situation rather amusing.

What was Elizabeth planning?

“What are you thinking about?” Zero asked abruptly.

“Ah…” Xu Mo looked at Zero and said: “I am thinking that the uglier the person, the more mischief they make. Elizabeth is so ugly but still crafty and deceitful; compared to her, Zero, you’re naive.”

“Naive…” Zero looked at Xu Mo, blinked, and said, “Easy to deceive?”

“Yeah.” Xu Mo nodded, “Ah no, I mean, I prefer simplicity.”

Zero nodded slightly, understanding that he preferred those easy to deceive; thus, he habitually lied to her, and going forward, she couldn’t take his words too seriously.
