"I am Colonel Su Mo from Star Ring City, you’re a Colonel, and so am I. Why can’t I question you?"
Su Mo responded simply and crisply.
Upon hearing Su Mo reveal his identity, Newick imdiately realized that this guy was one of the newly promoted dark horses.
For a mont, Newick also felt a bit tricky; although they were both Colonels and didn’t need to fear each other, he was very aware that this guy also had another identity, one of the candidates for the Royal Order.
In so sense, his status was sowhat higher than his own.
So, he said to Su Mo, "Colonel Su Mo, I’m just speaking objectively about the incident."
"What do you an by objectively about the incident? The situation is obvious, invading others’ mining areas and killing people, and yet the villain complains first! I will handle this matter for sure."
Su Mo replied directly.
"What evidence do you have?"
Horien replied a bit angrily.
"Evidence? I guess more than half the people present can testify. And as for the killings, you can’t shake off the responsibility, can you?"
Su Mo asked back without hesitation.
"He was the one who led and threw it."
At this mont, Zhao Chuan stood up without a word to testify.
"You’re talking nonsense. I was just blasting the mining area."
Horien wasn’t stupid; he wouldn’t foolishly admit and let Su Mo catch the handle.
"It was him! He’s the main culprit!"
People from various countries and the Alliance Country of the Second Birthplace, seeing Su Mo stand up for them, ca forward to accuse him.
Seeing the situation, Newick secretly felt it was bad; if this matter continued to develop, it would beco quite troubleso!
So he walked to Su Mo’s side, lowered his voice, and said to Su Mo, "Colonel Su Mo, let’s have a talk."
"Go ahead."
Su Mo said in a deep voice.
"I know you want to support the Federation, after all, you are from the Federation, but you can’t do this today."
"Killing must be paid for, it’s a universally accepted principle, what more is there to say?"
Su Mo squinted his eyes and replied.
"Listen to first. How about this: I’ll let the chanical Empire hand over part of the mining area as compensation. Let’s settle this matter that way."
"Why should we? Our people already held this mining area. And you think just because you say so, I’ll let it go? Our people died in vain?"
"Colonel Su Mo, to be blunt, even if you take this to Star Ring City, you’ll gain nothing. At most, Horien can be proven to have committed manslaughter, the worst case, he’s imprisoned for a few years and then released. If we end up tearing faces, the chanical Empire won’t compensate you, at most they’ll throw so money your way, and you’ll get nothing. Why bother? Also, offending the chanical Empire is no small matter, so weigh it out?"
Newick pointed out directly to Su Mo.
Hearing about the chanical Empire, Su Mo also found it quite troubleso. He had just managed to ease relations with Herbert.
If he clashed with them now, it would be quite a hassle.
Actually, even if it ca down to a showdown, he didn’t mind, but Su Mo also had to consider the Federation.
When the ti ca for the chanical Empire to continue troubling the Federation, he couldn’t always shield them.
Thinking of this, Su Mo, though feeling very uncomfortable, still suppressed it and said to Newick.
"Alright, reconciliation is possible, but if the compensation is inadequate, don’t bla for being impolite. And that guy must apologize."
"Fine, you can rest assured on that."
Newick also breathed a sigh of relief, fearing that Su Mo would refuse to let go and insist on fighting to the end. After all, Horien’s identity was crucial and could not have issues.
After reaching a reconciliation, Newick coughed and spoke.
"Everyone, listen to ; I’ve discussed with Colonel Su Mo. We agree that what the chanical Empire did was sowhat inappropriate. I will have them return a portion of the invaded mining area to everyone."
"Colonel Newick?"
Horien’s face changed suddenly; he hadn’t expected Newick to stand on the other side.
"Shut up."
Newick directly scolded.
Horien resentfully shut his mouth.
Newick continued, "Regarding the Federation’s casualties, nine out of ten it was a mining accident, for which the chanical Empire bears responsibility and must compensate the Federation. Also, Horien must apologize to them, and that will conclude the matter."
"Why should I apologize? I didn’t do anything wrong! Moreover, apologize to these savages? Who do they think they are? My uncle is a Major General in Star Ring City."
Horien’s attitude was extrely bad, filled with disdain.
Su Mo had been suppressing his anger, and hadn’t expected the guy to remain so arrogant. His eyes turned icy cold, then he lifted his hand, gathered a dark particle beam, and controlled its power to shoot it forth.
Bam!
It instantly pierced Horien’s left thigh; even the chanical armor he wore didn’t stop it!
Blood splattered everywhere!
"Ah~~"
Horien fell to the ground, letting out a shrill cry of pain.
"Is apologizing sothing you can just choose not to do?"
Su Mo said coldly.
At this mont, the chanical Empire soldiers on the scene, seeing Horien attacked, furiously surrounded him, aiming their beam guns at Su Mo.
Suddenly, the situation seed ready to spiral out of control.
Newick’s face changed drastically, intending to step in and stop it, but it was too late.
"What’s this? Relying on having more people and weapons?"
Su Mo said indifferently, then waved his hand.
In an instant, a massive shadow fell from the sky.
All the people on the scene scattered!
Bam!
Domak descended from the sky with nacing force, opening its mouth and letting out a furious roar!
"Oh my God! Run! It’s a V-type alien!"
The crowd of onlookers panicked, scrambling to flee backward.
But after running a certain distance, they suddenly realized the alien wasn’t attacking anyone but was instead turning its head down, seemingly looking for sothing, so they stopped.
"You idiot, I’m right here."
Su Mo couldn’t help but mock as half of his body was buried under the soil that had splattered up.
"Waji waji."
Domak quickly and carefully used its blade to peel the soil away.
Su Mo then jumped onto Domak’s horizontal blade and looked at the chanical Empire soldiers present saying.
"Still want to fight?"
The people of the chanical Empire present, desperately suppressing their fear, were lost for words.
Newick at this ti, heart pounding, stepped forward and squeezed out a smile, "Colonel Su Mo, it’s all a misunderstanding. Please don’t hold it against them."
"I have no interest in wasting words. Let Horien apologize. If he doesn’t, I’ll disable his other leg. If he’s still defiant, don’t bla for being ruthless."
Murderous intent flashed in Su Mo’s eyes.
"Alright, alright, I’ll make him apologize."
Newick quickly helped Horien up and said.
"Apologize now."
At this mont, Horien, completely terrified, knowing this guy before him really dared to kill him, gritted his teeth and said.
"I’m sorry!"
Upon hearing it, Su Mo directly jumped down from Domak’s horizontal blade, walked to Lin Ming’s side, and said.
"Let’s go."
"Alright!"
Lin Ming nodded heavily.
After leaving the mining area, Su Mo said to Domak, who followed behind.
"Go watch my cha."
"Waji waji."
Domak imdiately turned and ran off into the distance.
"Is this your pet?"
Lin Ming said, looking at Domak, his heart thumping as he asked.
"Yeah, encountered it on the way, looked pitiful, so I picked it up and kept it."
Su Mo responded indifferently.
"Oh."
Lin Ming shook his head, taking quite so ti to snap out of his surprise, then said to Su Mo, "Oh right, you ca to the front line, why didn’t you notify in advance? I could have co to pick you up!"
"Honestly, it was a temporary stopover; I didn’t even know you were here."
Su Mo replied with a smile,
"Haha, then it’s really a coincidence; we haven’t seen each other for a long ti, it’s a chance to catch up."
Lin Ming said happily to Su Mo.
"Mm, sure!"
Su Mo nodded, initially intending to leave after handling matters, but since Lin Ming was essentially his big brother, having t up, they should catch up. Just as well, he could ask him a few things.
