Chapter 694: Chapter 559 Task_2
Now that I had finally gained my freedom, how could I possibly go back?
But these were all Qian Chengxue’s relatives and elders, and Su Mo also knew that it wasn’t easy for Qian Chengxue to refuse them.
So he took a step forward, walked to Qian Chengxue’s side, and said diplomatically to everyone, “Everyone, please hear out. Qian Chengxue is doing well now and is very thankful for your concern. However, I hope you can respect Qian Chengxue’s choices, just as you respect the choices you once made. Also, the road here is rather narrow, so if there’s nothing else, please go ahead and proceed, as blocking this area isn’t ideal.”
“And you are?”
Ye Jian squinted his eyes at Su Mo, who had stepped forward, feeling sowhat familiar.
“Uncle, he is Su Mo, and he was also part of our guild before,” Ye Haitang whispered to Ye Jian.
Hearing the na Su Mo, Ye Jian also showed a look of utter shock. He had heard of Su Mo’s feats, but he had never imagined that he was once a mber of his own guild.
It was truly a case of being blinded and foolish to the extre. To have missed such talent was a regret he lanted deeply!
At this mont, Xiao Wen also stepped forward, coughed, and said indifferently, “Ye Jian, let say a word. A shattered cup can never be restored to its original state. Even if you glue it back together, it’ll just be as it is. I had already warned the Ye Family long ago. If you had listened to even a single word of my advice, it wouldn’t have co to this today. Let so things go.”
Ye Jian was also left with a bitter expression, unsure of what to say.
Those from other families who saw this scene from afar couldn’t help but cover their mouths, whispering and laughing among themselves.
“See? You could bring them back only over my dead body; they made such a fuss before, and now they want to nd fences? Tough luck.”
“I heard that after Ye Xue left, her assets were completely divided up, and the greed was not pretty at all.”
“It’s good to know, it’s not as harmonious as it seems.”
…
At that mont, Qian Chengxue took a deep breath and said, “Uncle, leave this matter alone. I’ve already made things very clear with Father before, the grudges are cleared, and I’ll visit when I have the ti.”
Ye Jian sighed deeply, shook his head, and led his people forward, muttering to himself.
“Truly a hand well played poorly.”
…
Su Mo watched them walking away and softly said to Qian Chengxue, “Don’t mind them. From now on, follow your own desires for the path ahead, free from others’ restraints.”
“Alright.”
Qian Chengxue ntally nodded and replied, feeling genuinely at ease with Su Mo standing beside her.
“Exactly, never mind them. Do you really think they an well? These people only care about benefits, oblivious to everything else. When they hadn’t co here, they knew to hold back, but now that they’ve co to the Negative Universe, they’ve beco wild like the outsiders.”
Chen Shan complained unhappily.
“Chen Shan, why say that?”
Su Mo looked questioningly at Chen Shan.
Chen Shan rolled his eyes and said, “Have you forgotten the treatnt we received when we went to the Five Dragon Heads Company before? What’s the treatnt now? Did any of these guys even greet ? Not to ntion the Ye Family, even those from other families standing in the distance watching the scene unfold.”
Hearing this, Su Mo thought there might be so truth to what Chen Shan said. Even Ye Tian appeared very modest when eting Xiao Wen and Chen Shan before.
Now, the treatnt was utterly different: one a celebrated guest, the other just a common passerby.
It seed the establishnt of the New Federation had a monuntal, revolutionary impact on everyone.
“Chen Shan, talk less,” Xiao Wen quickly interjected.
“I’m not talking nonsense. They think they can soar to the skies now that the New Federation has been established. They co crying when there’s trouble, but otherwise, their aims are higher than the skies, not considering who gives them the confidence to do so,” Chen Shan griped.
Su Mo coughed lightly and said to Chen Shan, “Ahem, Old Chen, better hold off on saying more.”
“Hmph,” Chen Shan saw that Su Mo also advised restraint, so he stopped.
In truth, no one could bla Chen Shan for being so irritated; the resentnt wasn’t built in a day.
“By the way, Chen Shan, you haven’t told how much money you made.”
Su Mo shifted the topic with a smile.
“Hold on, brother, you can’t be thinking about my money, I only have that little Star Coin.”
“Oh, get out….”
…
anwhile, atop a towering building in the distance, Li Ruiqi and Spade stood watching the dense queue of people depositing money.
“Those guys finally did sothing aningful,” Spade said, slightly moved.
“That’s under the condition of high profits; but, speaking of which, the strength of Kevor Company is truly astonishing for developing such technology,” Li Ruiqi said, furrowing his brow.
“Nothing surprising there. The strength of Area M is evident; to put it bluntly, the reason Augustus couldn’t compete with Council President Long Ming isn’t that Area M lacked capability. It’s rely due to the lack of unity internally, everyone calculating for their own interests,” Spade stated bluntly.
“True,” Li Ruiqi nodded in agreent.
“What do you think about the plans going forward?” Spade asked thoughtfully.
“Although the situation at the Federation has eased, theoretically lessening our burden, I actually feel an even greater pressure. With so much resources and military power assembled here, if the expedition fails, I don’t even know how to explain it to the Federation Council,” Li Ruiqi replied.
