Just as Su Mo was about to answer, Krisia suddenly spoke up.
"Buseray! Commander Su Mo was ordered by Star Ring City to co find , I just didn’t expect him to arrive so quickly."
After listening, a trace of fierceness flashed in Buseray’s eyes, but he quickly returned to normal and looked at Su Mo to ask.
"Oh, is that so?"
Su Mo also felt sothing was amiss, but he wasn’t foolish. He imdiately echoed Krisia’s words.
"Yes, I ca to find Krisia, originally planning to surprise her."
"Commander Su Mo, you’ve explained quite enough, if there’s nothing else, you should leave."
Krisia imdiately turned to Su Mo and said.
"Uh...."
Su Mo was speechless for a mont; wasn’t he being shown the door?
However, unexpectedly, Buseray spoke: "Krisia, it’s not often Commander Su Mo visits, we can’t just let him leave like this, at least let him stay over so we can host him for a few days. Otherwise, people will say we don’t know how to treat guests."
"That’s not convenient, Commander Su Mo has a lot of things to attend to."
Krisia calmly countered.
Listening to their conversation, Su Mo felt a tug in his heart, even he could sense sothing was wrong.
Under normal circumstances, he should leave as Krisia suggested, using an excuse. But looking at the situation now, leaving would only raise more suspicion, plus he ca with a purpose, so how could he leave empty-handed? He smiled and said.
"Actually, those matters aren’t urgent. It’s been a while since I’ve seen you, Krisia, and since we’re finally eting again, it’s okay to stay a few more days."
Upon hearing Su Mo’s words, Krisia’s pale face slightly twitched, showing a trace of undetectable annoyance.
But she quickly regained her calm.
On the other hand, Buseray beca increasingly cold upon hearing Su Mo speak as if he was so close to Krisia, but he didn’t act out and rely said.
"In that case, Commander Su Mo, please stay here and we’ll be sure to host you well."
"Then I won’t stand on ceremony."
Su Mo replied with a cheerful smile.
Seeing the situation settled, Krisia took the initiative to say: "Commander Su Mo, please follow , I’ll take you to your accommodations and introduce you to our camp."
"Alright."
Su Mo quickly nodded.
Then Krisia led Su Mo away.
Buseray watched Su Mo’s departing figure, his expression becoming increasingly sinister.
At this ti, the companions standing next to Buseray began to ask gloomily.
"Master Buseray, is it alright to let an outsider stay at our base?"
"Wouldn’t it be more problematic to make him leave imdiately?"
"Uh, then what should we do?"
"What else, just keep an eye on him."
Buseray’s expression changed as he spoke.
"Yes."
...
Elsewhere, Krisia led Su Mo to an assembled base cabin.
The soldiers guarding inside saluted Krisia, but when they saw Su Mo, their gazes were exceptionally cold.
Making Su Mo feel very out of place, the xenophobia here was not at all minor.
Krisia took many turns, leading Su Mo into a spacious room, equipped with all necessary living facilities.
"Commander Su Mo, you can stay here. If you need anything, feel free to find , I’m right next door."
Krisia said to Su Mo.
"Alright."
Su Mo replied, in a good mood.
Krisia continued to say to Su Mo: "Commander Su Mo, since this is the Immortal Empire’s secret base, the confidentiality level is very high, and there are many sensitive areas, so I hope that when you have nothing to do, you won’t wander around. If you’re really wanting to go sowhere, it’s best to let know, and I’ll accompany you."
"Alright, thank you so much. By the way, Krisia, I want to ask you sothing, why were you trying to get to leave earlier?"
Su Mo asked in a low voice.
"Was I? No such thing."
Krisia replied blandly, not admitting a thing.
After hearing her, Su Mo felt the situation was even stranger. Of course, he couldn’t really go questioning Krisia, after all, although their relationship was amicable, it wasn’t on very close terms.
"Haha, then it was just my imagination."
"No problem."
Krisia responded casually.
Su Mo then curiously asked: "Krisia, your Immortal Empire established such a big camp here, did you discover so rich mineral deposits nearby? Rest assured, I’m asking just out of curiosity, with no other intentions."
"I don’t really know, I just ca back to take care of so business. Commander Su Mo, you must be tired, why not rest first, and I’ll co get you when it’s ti for dinner."
Krisia didn’t answer Su Mo directly.
"Alright."
Su Mo nodded.
Then Krisia turned and left the room.
Soon the room was left with only Su Mo. He scanned the room and its facilities.
The Creator·Swallower spoke in a low tone: "There’s no surveillance equipnt or the like in this room, that girl gave you a pretty good room. But from the mont you entered, the number of patrolling soldiers outside increased. This Immortal Empire group feels really odd."
"I feel it too, plus they have an extrely strong sense of vigilance and are very unwelcoming to us. I even suspect they’re preparing to do sothing big here."
Su Mo replied subtly.
"Then you still stay? Aren’t you worried they might turn hostile?"
The Creator·Swallower replied in a low tone.
"I don’t really want to stay either, but the thing we’re looking for is here, there’s no choice! Don’t worry, they probably don’t have the guts to do anything to , after all, I’m a legitimate officer of Star Ring City, and Krisia is here too, at most they’ll just give us bad looks."
Su Mo evaluated the risk, thinking it was within control.
"Alright, understood."
The Creator·Swallower didn’t say much more.
Su Mo then lay down on the bed, stretched, planning to take a good nap to replenish his energy, then slowly investigate further.
A chance to sleep like this was rare, he couldn’t waste it.
...
In the main base cabin passage.
Buseray walked briskly inward and soon reached a sealed door, pressing a button.
A few seconds later, the sealed door opened.
Revealing a handso man with violet eyes, hair draped over his shoulders, exuding a noble deanor in his movents.
"Prince Kyarat."
Buseray respectfully saluted Prince Kyarat.
"What is it?"
Yalate asked calmly.
"Lord Kyarat, there’s an issue, Princess Krisia brought in an unexpected guest."
"What is Krisia thinking, bringing outsiders in at such a critical mont? Who is the person?"
"It’s Colonel Su Mo from Star Ring City."
"What’s he here for?"
