The Seventh Base-Chapter 548 - 17 Danger_3
Chapter 548 -17 Danger_3
At that moment, he saw a line of people approaching from outside, evidently with ill intentions, and further back on the lawn, there appeared to be a solitary figure heading this way.
Xu Mo shrank his head and, with tears in his eyes, turned and slipped away towards the castle.
He was already thinking of excuses.
“Female demon, listen to my explanation, it was Ize and Carter who forced me, I didn’t want to come.”
“Female demon, I was deceived too, they said it was all men, I definitely wouldn’t have come if I knew.”
Or just kneel and beg for forgiveness?
Xu Mo released his senses, looking for any possible escape routes.
The banquet was still bustling, with guards patrolling the event, there to prevent any unexpected incidents. They usually stationed around the castle, but in reality, there was little for them to do, even the Guard Commander had gone off to drink a few cups.
With his head down, Xu Mo crept unnoticed into the castle and quickly found a place with a set of guard’s Battle Armor which he promptly donned, complete with the helmet, arming himself from head to toe.
In this getup, a beating shouldn’t be too terrible, right?
First, he had to blend in and see how things went.
Xu Mo felt dizzy, having casually had a few drinks just before…

“What are you doing standing around here?” At that moment, a person dressed as a housekeeper said to Xu Mo.
“…….” Xu Mo.
“Get out.” The housekeeper spoke, and Xu Mo dejectedly walked outside, arriving at the castle entrance. Seeing only one person there, he took his position on the other side and started to stand guard.
First, blend in until Zero leaves, then figure out the next move.
At this time, the atmosphere at the banquet seemed to become eerie and much quieter.
The line of figures that had arrived earlier had now entered the banquet area, with Sal, a member of the Sasi Kingdom’s Royal Family, leading them. Accompanying him were both people from the Sasi Kingdom and those following the Sal Kingdom.
The Sasi Kingdom had always been defiant towards Lucas Star.
“What are you here for?” Princess Elizabeth asked with displeasure, seeing Sal arrive with a group of people. She had been defeated by Sal not long ago in the freshman competition, and now he was here at her birthday banquet with his entourage; was he looking for trouble?
“Of course, to offer congratulations,” Sal said abruptly, “Happy birthday to Princess Elizabeth.”
Although he said it was to offer congratulations, his tone was cold and distant, and not at all polite. The mood at the banquet suddenly shifted, the previously lively and festive atmosphere disrupted by the presence of these uninvited guests.
“Thank you,” Princess Elizabeth replied.
“At our Sasi Kingdom’s Royal Family, every birthday banquet after coming of age is regarded as a growth milestone, where the protagonist has to accept challenges from their followers until they are exhausted. In comparison with the Sasi Kingdom, the Lucas Star Royal Family truly knows how to indulge in pleasure. It’s no wonder…” Sal spoke with a tone that seemed to carry a hint of mockery.
Princess Elizabeth’s face turned unsightly upon hearing this, and the people around showed looks of surprise. Sal did not seem to be there to offer congratulations but rather to provoke a confrontation.
The Royal Family of the Sasi Kingdom was indeed arrogant and overbearing. This was, after all, Lucas Star’s territory, and on Princess Elizabeth’s birthday no less, yet they displayed no courtesy, causing an unpleasant disturbance.
However, this was also in line with the style of the Sasi Kingdom and Lucas Star Royal Family’s open and covert struggles within the Star System Alliance, as both sides had always been vying for the dominant position within the Star System Alliance, seeking to control the voice within the organization.
The Sasi Kingdom had always been dissatisfied with the fact that most members of the Star System Alliance chose to attend Lucas University.
Lucas University, hailed as the first institution of the Star System Alliance, gathered talents from all the major planets of the alliance.
This, clearly, was unfavorable for the Sasi Kingdom, as many of these talents would stay on Lucas Star, contributing to its construction and development.
The atmosphere between the two factions became somewhat tense, with the ongoing music seeming somewhat out of place.
Xu Mo stood quietly at the door, acting like a decorative statue, but his gaze was fixed on the back of the crowd from the Sasi Kingdom. In that spot, a figure with a sword in hand approached and then stood there, looking inside as if searching for something.
Danger!
