Chapter 1005: Chapter 752: Reminiscing (First Update)
As Su Mo approached the crowd, he overheard so officials discussing.
“Hey, when will we be able to see Lord Augustus? I’ve been waiting here for several days.”
“What’s that? I’ve been waiting for almost a week.”
“No matter what, we have to keep waiting. The personnel changes this ti are too drastic. I’m almost being marginalized.”
“It’s the sa for everyone. Who knew it would turn out like this? I’ve heard that those powerful groups are all going to rise.”
“Isn’t that normal? After all, they’ve donated a large amount of political contributions. They’re bound to reap rewards. If only I’d known, I would have donated so too.”
“Stop dreaming. The threshold is very high. It’s not like you can donate just because you want to. Not to ntion, right now you can’t even get close to the Federation Council Building. Where are you going to find connections? By the ti it lifts, it’ll be too late.”
“Ah, still try to hold onto Lord Augustus’s coattails. No matter what, a starving cal is bigger than a horse.”
“Makes sense.”
…
Listening to their conversation, Su Mo was shocked. As expected of the Council President who was promoted in Zone M, truly impressive!
Openly accepting donations, no wonder they’re so wealthy.
Su Mo wanted to find a gatekeeper to announce his presence, but realized there wasn’t even a gatekeeper outside Augustus’s mansion, only rows of surveillance caras. Helplessly, he could only ask the people waiting nearby.
“Brothers, pardon , how can I et Lord Augustus, do I need to report in or sothing?”
“Which departnt are you from?”
“I’m from the Military Departnt, retired personnel, just wanted to et Lord Augustus.”
Su Mo scratched his head and replied.
“Oh, retired personnel, want to engage a little to see if you can get a position eh? I’d advise you to give up, we employed folks are still in line, Lord Augustus definitely won’t see you.”
“Exactly, have so self-awareness.”
…
The people present urged Su Mo to go back, after all, fewer people an less competition, persuading him away was definitely right.
Su Mo also wore a blank expression, unsure of how to explain to this bunch.
Just then, the tightly shut door opened, and security soldiers erged from the mansion, dispersing the crowd to both sides.
“Make way!”
Su Mo was shoved to one side along with everyone else.
At this mont, luxurious black floatcars slowly drove from the distant street.
Su Mo imdiately saw Augustus seated in the center of the limousine, his face tense, not even glancing out the window.
“Lord Augustus, over here!”
Seeing the window wasn’t up, Su Mo saw a chance and shouted, waving continuously.
“Brother, stop shouting, it’s useless!”
“You’re just like a clown with that, useless, Lord Augustus definitely won’t pay attention to you.”
…
The waiting people nearby, seeing Su Mo shouting so loudly, all urged him.
Inside the car, Augustus heard Su Mo’s shouting, and was slightly startled. Why does this voice sound familiar? He instinctively turned his head towards the window. Imdiately, he saw Su Mo waving, his stern old face showing a shocked expression.
“Su Mo? Stop the car!”
The driving butler was also stunned, but imdiately stopped the car.
Suddenly, the convoy halted at the entrance.
“What’s wrong with Lord Augustus?”
The butler asked puzzled.
Augustus didn’t answer the butler but directly opened the car door and stepped out.
In an instant, the people squeezed to both sides gaped wide, what’s going on?
“Let through.”
Su Mo quickly tried to get through but was held back by security personnel.
“Let him through.”
Augustus said in a deep voice to the security blocking Su Mo.
The security personnel promptly loosened, letting Su Mo in.
Everyone else was staring wide-eyed, especially those who had previously conversed with Su Mo, each showing a look of regret, feeling utterly defeated!
If they’d known this guy could see Lord Augustus, they would’ve fawned over him.
Turning his head, Augustus said to the butler, “Disperse the people, and cancel all appointnts today.”
The butler following behind Augustus also showed a trendously surprised look in his eyes. He was very curious about who this young man was, to be so valued by Lord Augustus, though smart enough not to ask further.
“Yes, Lord Augustus.”
After Augustus instructed, he directly led Su Mo into the manor.
Feeling pretty good, he said, “Haven’t seen you for so many years, didn’t expect you’d co to Zone M, and even visit .”
“Lord Augustus, co on, isn’t it normal for to visit you? After all, back on the Black Brilliance, you took quite good care of .”
Su Mo modestly replied.
“Haha, hardly took care, proper care ca more from Spade and Li Ruiqi, I rely appreciated you. But it’s also thanks to you that this old bag of bones could safely return to Earth Star. I should be thanking you.”
“Lord Augustus, you’re flattering .”
Su Mo awkwardly responded.
“By the way, why did you co to see ? Don’t tell you’re just passing by; everyone who cos has sothing.”
Augustus, very perceptive, instantly saw Su Mo definitely ca for sothing.
“I do have a little matter, hoping to get your help, Lord Augustus.”
Su Mo wasn’t hiding anything.
“Go ahead, although I’ve retired, my words still carry weight in Zone M.”
Augustus confidently said.
“It’s like this, I want to get into the Federation Council Building, but can’t get close, so I hoped you could help, Lord Augustus.”
Su Mo casually said.
Augustus hearing, showed a puzzled look, stared at Su Mo and said, “What are you going there for? It’s under strict no-entry right now?”
“Collecting debts?”
Su Mo naturally replied.
“What debts?”
Augustus was slightly confused.
Su Mo smiled and handed the docunt to Augustus.
“It’s this.”
Augustus eagerly took it, and upon seeing the amount, his eyes widened hugely, even his usually calm face was montarily moved.
“So much money, what’s Long Ming up to? Are they trying to bankrupt the Federation? How is this profit-sharing agreent so high?”
Seeing Augustus react so intensely, Su Mo was puzzled.
“Lord Augustus, shouldn’t you have known about this?”
“How could I know?”
Augustus replied with a twitching face.
“But hold on, your signature is on there, how could you not know?”
Su Mo grew more confused.
