"I did sign it, but the problem is that when I signed it, the docunt was blank. Wait, that batch of materials was retrieved by you?"
Augustus suddenly realized, such a large sum of money split, it could only be that batch of materials.
"Yes."
Su Mo replied calmly.
Augustus reached out and slapped Su Mo’s shoulder hard, showing a hearty smile, "Haha, kid, you’ve really got it. You always manage to surprise people. If that’s the case, then the money isn’t much, giving you a bigger share is no problem."
"It was ant to be."
"You rascal, taking advantage and still pretending to be modest."
"How’s that, this money doesn’t co easy, you see?"
Su Mo pulled down his collar, revealing the shocking dark red negative energy pollution blood stain.
Augustus glanced at it, and his eyelid twitched violently, "This serious?"
"Of course it’s serious, I risked my life for it. This is all blood and sweat money."
Su Mo said with a bitter smile.
"You’ve really worked hard."
Augustus couldn’t help but sigh.
"Not hard, once I get the money, I can rest. I’ll have to trouble Lord Augustus to help get into the Federation Council Building."
Su Mo said with a smile.
"I’m afraid I can’t help with that."
Augustus replied with a smile.
"Ah? Lord Augustus, you’re not joking with , right?"
"I’m not joking with you. I can’t even get in myself now, let alone take you."
"How is that possible? It’s that strict?"
"The new Council President is a tough character. Whatever he sets, people don’t want to ss with, so it’s even hard for to force my way in."
Augustus remarked with so self-deprecation.
In fact, Augustus was indirectly defeated in the election by the new Council President, otherwise under normal circumstances, he would be the new president.
Of course, although he lost the election, he did receive so compensation, leaving him without any temper.
"That’s troubleso, when can we get in? If we’re late, and the Federation doesn’t have money for the exchange, it’ll be a big problem."
Su Mo was quite troubled, after all, the cheque had such a big amount, it really made him uneasy before getting it in hand.
"Haha, I can’t take you in, but you can go in yourself."
Augustus said sothing that left Su Mo confused.
"Lord Augustus, please don’t joke with . If I approach recklessly, wouldn’t the soldiers on guard point their weapons at ?"
Su Mo replied with a bitter smile, the joke was not funny at all.
"You should have a badge, right? That badge is your best pass. Just hang it on your chest and walk in. No one can stop you."
Augustus didn’t keep him in suspense and directly pointed it out for Su Mo.
"Are you sure it’s okay? Is that thing really that effective?"
Su Mo was a bit uncertain, if it were Long Ming presiding, he would be full of confidence, but it was different now.
"Rest assured, the badge is always valid, unless you betray the Federation."
Augustus stopped and gazed at his garden, sighing.
"Okay, I understand."
Su Mo quietly breathed a sigh of relief, after all this, he could actually go in.
"But there’s one thing I have to remind you, be polite when you et the new Council President, after all, you’re there to collect money."
"If I’m there to collect money, shouldn’t I be the boss?"
"These days, it’s the debtor who’s the boss. But don’t worry, he won’t dare to default on you, it’s just a matter of whether he’ll pay you smoothly."
Augustus laughed as he said.
"That’s good."
Su Mo felt relieved hearing this from Augustus.
"I thought about it carefully, and actually, there’s no need to worry so much. Normally, he should entertain you well, after all, he’s still worrying about how to escort the materials to the front line. The batch you intercepted hasn’t been sent to the front line yet, and the Imperial Army is watching us closely now."
Augustus thought for a mont and said.
"Stop, that’s where I can’t help. I’ve already done all I can, if I try again, I might get killed."
Su Mo shook his head like a rattle drum.
"Haha, indeed, you can’t get on at your current state. Actually, even if you can’t fight, it doesn’t matter, just standing there would make the Imperial Army tremble."
"Lord Augustus, are you joking with again?"
"I’m not joking with you, you’re now the number one enemy over at the Empire. All the top experts are very wary of you, they would flee if they see you without absolute superiority. Of course, you should also be careful, the Imperial Army is always probing for your whereabouts, they still don’t know who’s piloting Ghost Deformity. Council President Long Ming really did a great job in blocking information. But once they find you, they’ll stop at nothing to find ways to eliminate you, so be careful."
Augustus directly revealed so inside information to Su Mo.
"Haha, I knew this money wouldn’t be easy to earn, the repercussions are huge."
Su Mo’s face twitched relentlessly.
"Of course, don’t worry too much, the Federation is still here, always your backing."
Augustus assured Su Mo.
"What Lord Augustus says is right."
Su Mo thought to himself, indeed, the Federation is his backup, the problem is, they’re coming for , not the Federation.
At this mont, Augustus’s butler walked over, bowed respectfully to Su Mo, and then spoke.
"Lord Augustus has prepared everything."
"Stay here for the night, I happen to have you over. As for what you need to do, don’t rush, I’ll have the butler take you to the doorstep tomorrow, save you the walk."
Augustus said with a smile.
"Uh, okay, then I’ll accept the offer graciously."
Su Mo had no choice but to reluctantly accept Augustus’s invitation.
...
---------------------------------------------------------
The next morning.
A luxurious black elongated hover car drove smoothly toward the center of Freedom City.
The closer it was to the central area, the more soldiers patrolling and checking there were. Su Mo even saw them carrying agile chanical dogs.
On the streets of the central area, there were hardly any pedestrians wandering around, and almost every passing vehicle was stopped and checked.
However, the car Su Mo was in was not stopped, it proceeded smoothly without obstruction.
It wasn’t long before Su Mo saw the new Parliant Building from afar, very spectacular.
It was a massive white palace-shaped building, covering a large area, several tis larger than the Parliant Building of the Imperial City.
From this, one could see the difference in financial strength.
As they neared, Augustus’s butler stopped the car and respectfully said to Su Mo, "Lord Su Mo, I can only take you this far, the rest you’ll need to walk in yourself, I wish you a safe journey."
"Thank you."
After thanking him, Su Mo got out of the car.
