Su Mo showed a bitter smile and shook his head, replying: "No need, going there won’t be of much use, I can barely keep it under control now."
"But the way you are now, it’s easy for people to misunderstand you."
Long Ming looked at the deliberately concealed Polluted Blood Stain on Su Mo’s body and sighed.
"It’s okay, I’ll just be a little more careful. Council President, this might truly be my last intervention, my body really can’t take it anymore, during the last combat, I was already on the verge of losing control."
"Ah, I understand."
Long Ming sighed deeply, filled with endless regret. If that incident hadn’t occurred back then, Su Mo would definitely be a pillar of the Federation’s top combat strength, a terrifying presence for the Imperial Army.
"By the way, Council President Long Ming, here is the list of supplies seized, they’re currently at the interstellar airport in the Imperial City."
Su Mo handed over the compiled list.
Long Ming accepted the densely packed list from Su Mo and quickly scanned through it.
The more he read, the more serious his expression beca; these were all crucial resources for the front line.
If this batch of supplies could be transported to the front line, the Federation’s predicant would be solved without confrontation.
"Council President? Are these supplies satisfactory?"
Su Mo asked sowhat guiltily, feeling a bit uneasy about having secretly taken a large portion for himself.
Long Ming didn’t answer Su Mo’s question but instead tapped a few tis on the bracelet on his left hand.
Then, the office door was opened.
Tang Qin walked in respectfully.
"Council President."
The Council President took a docunt out of the drawer and handed it to Tang Qin, calmly saying: "Process this docunt for ."
"Understood!"
Tang Qin received the docunt respectfully and then retreated.
Long Ming turned to Su Mo and said: "Co, accompany this old man for a good chat. It’s been a long ti since I’ve been this happy, haha!"
"Alright."
Su Mo respectfully agreed.
A mont later, Long Ming and Su Mo changed into robes and ca to the private hot spring at the back.
Hot steam curled around them.
Council President Long Ming walked down, leaned against the edge of the hot spring, put a towel on his forehead, and said to Su Mo comfortably.
"Ah~ Since I beca Council President, I haven’t had any special hobbies, my greatest pleasure is soaking in a bath to relieve my body and mind. Of course, mainly because I have no ti, otherwise I actually enjoy traveling around a lot."
"Hmm, that’s quite good."
Su Mo entered the hot spring and scratched his head in response.
"Haha, it is quite good. Starting next month, I can lay down the burden and travel to various places."
"Council President... um..."
"Haha, don’t feel regretful, actually I think it’s quite good. I believe that during my term, I’ve done exceptionally well, quite complete. The only blemish, you’ve smoothed out for ."
Long Ming replied with great ease.
"Council President, I truly believe that you’ve done exceptionally well over the years, you led the Federation to its founding and helped the Federation establish its footing in this world."
Su Mo said sincerely.
"You’re right, but one must concede to age, when it’s ti for the young to take over, we must step aside, the future belongs to you all."
"The last thing I can do is support you, to hold up the sky."
...
Night deepened, stars shifted.
When the sunlight of dawn rose, Su Mo and the Council President walked out of the lounge, having talked overnight.
Su Mo changed his clothes, preparing to say farewell to the Council President.
The Council President suddenly smiled and said to Su Mo.
"Have breakfast before you go, I happen to have a little sothing to give you."
"Alright."
Su Mo was a bit puzzled.
Not long after, they arrived at the office to find Tang Qin already waiting there.
She had also prepared a sumptuous breakfast.
Su Mo couldn’t help but glance several tis at Tang Qin; indeed, as Council President Long Ming’s secretary, everything was well prepared.
"Sit down."
Long Ming sat down and started eating.
Su Mo also sat down, picked up his bowl and chopsticks, and began eating.
After finishing the al, Tang Qin respectfully handed the docunt and a pen she was holding to Long Ming.
Long Ming placed the docunt on the table and began reading carefully.
It was then that Su Mo realized what the docunt was, a special division agreent for the spoils of war.
The docunt was densely signed with various counciln’s nas.
But Su Mo, with sharp eyes, noticed the percentage on the division agreent; that space was empty.
Long Ming opened the pen and wrote down fifty percent.
Seeing this division percentage, Su Mo’s heart skipped a beat.
"This is for you."
Long Ming handed the docunt to Su Mo.
Su Mo took it, looked at it again carefully, and with so confusion, asked Long Ming.
"Council President Long Ming, isn’t the normal division percentage thirty percent? Why is it fifty percent?"
"I have made a special exception, after all, you were personally requested by , it naturally needs to be special."
Long Ming replied with a smile.
Su Mo felt a little overwheld and didn’t know what to say.
"But there’s sothing I need to tell you, the supplies you brought back are all urgent resources needed by the Federation now, so they can’t be directly divided to you. This batch of supplies is needed by the Federation. However, the Federation can directly compensate you with Star Coins. Tang Qin has calculated it, according to the list you provided, this batch of supplies is valued at a total of 21.6 billion Star Coins, you can get 10.8 billion Star Coins."
Council President Long Ming explained.
