Chapter 1976 - 1563: Moved
"Excuse me, please inform them that I have something important to discuss."
Su Mo replied in a deep voice.
The Orderly Officer, hesitating for a moment, finally responded.
"Commander Su Mo, please wait a moment."
"Thank you, I appreciate it."
.....
Inside the office, Lord Icaroya stood by the window, gazing at the distant scenery, her icy eyes flickering continuously.
The dispute with Goli, to some extent, affected Lord Icaroya’s mood.
At that moment, the Orderly Officer nervously walked in to report.
"Lord Icaroya, Su Mo of the Royal Order of Twelve Knights requests an audience."
"I won’t see him."
Lord Icaroya replied coldly.
"Understood."
The Orderly Officer quickly replied and turned to leave.
But at that moment, Lord Icaroya suddenly called out.
"Wait!"
The Orderly Officer was puzzled, what was happening? He quickly replied.
"Lord Icaroya, do you have any orders?"
Lord Icaroya pondered briefly; normally, Su Mo wouldn’t come to see her, he usually avoided her, like a rat avoiding a cat.
Coming here at such a time, there might be something important.
Thinking of this, Lord Icaroya spoke coldly, "Let him in."
"Understood!"
The Orderly Officer quickly complied and walked out.
Soon after, Su Mo walked into the office carrying a massive mechanical box and saw Lord Icaroya sitting at the desk.
He saluted Lord Icaroya.
"Lord Icaroya!"
"If you are here for speeches or matters concerning others, don’t bother speaking and you may leave."
Lord Icaroya said with utter indifference.
Su Mo showed a bitter smile and replied to Lord Icaroya, "To be honest, I did think about speaking on their behalf, but I understand it would be meaningless. Though I’m not sure why you’re doing this, my intuition tells me you have your reasons."
Upon hearing Su Mo’s words, Lord Icaroya couldn’t help but stare at Su Mo.
Su Mo too felt uneasy under her gaze.
"Lord Icaroya? Is there any issue?"
"Interesting, I’m really curious how an extremely evil person like that old man could teach someone as upright as you."
Lord Icaroya’s tone carried a hint of sarcasm.
Su Mo’s heart trembled at Lord Icaroya’s words, realizing she knew everything, and surprisingly, was the old man as unbearable as she said?
He couldn’t help but inquire the creator · Swallower.
"Xiao Shi, is the old man really as she says?"
"It’s complicated, hard to explain in a short time."
The creator · Swallower responded deeply.
Su Mo did not dwell on it further, and replied to Lord Icaroya.
"Lord Icaroya, that isn’t important now, I came for something important."
"Speak!"
Lord Icaroya responded indifferently.
Su Mo placed the mechanical box on the desk, then opened it, revealing a peculiar stone tablet to Lord Icaroya.
Seeing the stone tablet, Lord Icaroya’s eyes narrowed sharply, and she stood up.
She scrutinized the stone tablet repeatedly.
Su Mo took a step back, waiting quietly to avoid disturbing Lord Icaroya.
"How did this stone tablet end up in your hands?"
After examining it, Lord Icaroya showed an unusually emotional expression.
"That’s my personal affair."
Su Mo replied calmly.
"Alright!"
Lord Icaroya didn’t waste any more words, directly took out the stone tablet, and placed it in the cupboard behind her. At the same time, she retrieved the stone tablet the old man wanted, and placed it back in the box.
Lord Icaroya closed the box and returned it to Su Mo, speaking coldly.
"I have nothing more to say. Decide on your own to stay or leave, I won’t stop you."
"Understood, I will take my leave now."
Su Mo saluted Lord Icaroya, then turned and left.
Watching Su Mo’s departing figure, Lord Icaroya’s cold gaze also showed a hint of fluctuation.
Truth be told, she greatly admired Su Mo, wishing to keep him, but she knew well that Su Mo belonged to the old man, his choice to stay or go was only his to make.
A moment later, Su Mo walked out of the Administrative Council Building carrying the mechanical box.
The creator · Swallower asked deeply, "Heading to the old man’s place?"
"Yes!"
Su Mo took a deep breath and headed towards the direction of the convenience store.
Soon, Su Mo arrived at the convenience store, only to find the shop door closed.
"What’s going on?"
Su Mo was perplexed that the old man wasn’t in the store.
"Should be away from the store, head to his residence."
The creator · Swallower said deeply to Su Mo.
"Alright!"
Su Mo immediately proceeded to the old man’s residence.
Not long after, Su Mo reached the gate of the old man’s residence, just as he was about to enter, he was stopped.
Two burly men wearing V-generation Mechanical Armor, guarding the gate, blocked Su Mo’s path with their robust bodies.
"What are you doing?"
Su Mo asked puzzled.
"The master is feeling unwell, he won’t see anyone, and no one is allowed to disturb him."
The gatekeeper said in a deep voice.
"Feeling unwell? Let me in, I want to see him."
Su Mo’s heart skipped a beat, thinking something might have happened.
"No way!"
"Why not? I’m the old man’s disciple."
"Still no."
"Can you at least pass along my request?"
Su Mo furrowed his brows in response.
Unfortunately, the two before him were as immovable as stones in a latrine, unreactive and firm.
Suppressing his displeasure, Su Mo raised his electronic bracelet and sent a message to the old man, then stood waiting.
Yet the message seemed to disappear into the void, with no response.
Su Mo squinted his eyes, gazing at the two men, asking in a deep voice.
"What’s really wrong with the old man? Exactly where is he unwell?"
The two burly men exchanged glances but remained steadfast and obstinate.
"None of your concern, you cannot enter."
"Why bother talking with them! Just break in."
The creator · Swallower said somberly.
Su Mo was also anxious, instantly activating the hidden VI-generation Bio Armor, causing it to emerge and cover him fully. He directly broke through the two men’s blockade and charged in!
The two burly men, jolted aside, showed anger and charged at Su Mo.
In response, Su Mo swept them aside with a powerful kick, sending them flying. Given the VI-generation Bio Armor’s augmentation, their power and speed were incomparable.
Su Mo strode into the residence, heading towards the inner courtyard.
As he approached, Coret and Kathuler led a fierce group, halting Su Mo.
"You cannot proceed."
"Move aside, I need to see the old man."
Su Mo sensed something amiss, forcefully stating.
"The master’s unwell, he won’t see anyone."
Kathuler said directly to Su Mo.
