Destiny Mission of game 'Star Ring'-Chapter 1566 - 1247: Donations (Part 1)

At this moment, the banquet hall was already filled with a large number of glamorous guests.

Everyone was holding a glass of sake, praising and discussing donations with familiar friends.

The scene was very harmonious, with laughter and conversation.

Many people were willing to come to such occasions, not just to join the lively crowd, but more so for networking.

If you could make some friends at the banquet, it was a win. If you could leverage the opportunity to strike a business deal, that would be even more of a win.

Just then, the sound of steady footsteps was heard, and a woman wearing a white V-generation bio armor, with deep-set eyes, a cold expression, short black hair, and a powerful presence, walked in.

At this moment, the guests in the banquet hall became excited and stepped forward to greet her.

"Lady Ai Lu, you’ve come as well."

...

Ai Lu merely responded lightly, "Mm."

"Oh my, isn’t that the Royal Order of Twelve Knights’ Seventh Seat, the Tongue-Tied, Ai Lu? Wasn’t she always at the Second Birthplace?"

"What’s so strange about it? It’s impossible for her to stay there forever, and besides, didn’t you see Commander Kellaras is also on the ship?"

"Now that you mention it, I suddenly remember seeing Commander Kellaras angrily reprimanding a subordinate yesterday."

"Keep it down. Commander Kellaras has been in a really bad mood lately. Didn’t you notice he’s sitting right at the front, and barely anyone dares to talk to him?"

...

Su Mo, listening to their discussion, quickly glanced toward the front of the banquet hall.

He indeed saw Commander Kellaras, looking tense, as if his face had "keep away" written all over it.

"Su Mo, you came too."

At this moment, Euler, dressed in a white gown, walked over with a smile and greeted him.

"Mm, what brought you here? Are you interested in charity too?"

Su Mo replied with a smile.

"If it were a charity donation initiated by someone else, I’d hardly be interested. But Miraya is different. I really admire her. She’s truly out there running for everyone in hardship. While this world may be dark, there always needs to be a few beams of light to give hope to those in despair."

Euler said to Su Mo with some emotion.

"I didn’t expect you to give such a high evaluation."

Su Mo was quite surprised.

"Do you remember the incident when Mist Star was attacked?"

Euler said calmly.

"I remember, the entire Mist Country was almost destroyed at that time."

"After the incident, Miss Miraya launched a special rescue for our country, donating a lot of materials and coordinating many things. Even when the Gaojia Republic suffered a devastating blow, she was on the scene at the first opportunity."

"There’s such a thing."

Su Mo was even more astonished; he really didn’t know about these things. It seemed Miraya’s popularity and influence were not unfounded.

While Su Mo and Euler were chatting, the originally lively banquet hall suddenly quieted down as Miraya, dressed in a goose-yellow evening gown, made her entrance.

At this moment, mechanical flying balls floated up in the banquet hall, flying to every corner, then opening their cameras.

Only then did the crowd realize.

"Isn’t this charity banquet being broadcast live?"

"You’re right, it is live."

"Then if the donation is small, it would be embarrassing."

"You have no fame, what are you afraid of?"

"Makes sense."

...

Miraya gracefully walked to the front of the banquet stage and greeted everyone with a crisp, ethereal voice.

"Thank you all so much for taking the time out of your busy schedules to attend this charity banquet, truly grateful."

After Miraya finished speaking, she bowed deeply to everyone.

"Miss Miraya, we will always support you."

At this moment, enthusiastic applause and calls from some admirers resounded on the scene. Of course, many others maintained a gentlemanly smile without expressing much.

Miraya revealed a warm smile and said to the crowd.

"Next, please allow me to express my gratitude through a song called ’Distant Shore.’

The entire banquet quieted down, and then soothing music began to play smoothly.

"The starlight sways, stepping with calm strides, gazing across the starry skies...."

The tender ethereal voice instantly filled the banquet hall, calming restless hearts.

Sometimes, beautiful music can indeed cleanse a person’s spirit.

...

After a long while, when Miraya finished singing, the banquet hall remained silent.

Until Commander Kellaras led the applause.

Clap clap!

In an instant, enthusiastic applause followed in the hall.

"Thank you all."

Miraya thanked everyone once again.

After the applause died down, Miraya sincerely began her fundraising speech.

"Although we come from different countries and have different beliefs, there is one thing we all share: we have all experienced the despair of hovering on the brink of destruction, have all felt that helplessness and bitterness...."

...

The scene was silent, with everyone wearing different expressions, showing thoughtful faces.

Su Mo whispered to Euler: "Where is the money from this fundraiser intended for?"

"All countries, and it will be used for medical assistance."

Euler whispered back to Su Mo.

"A very noble plan."

Su Mo gave an honest evaluation....

After ten minutes, Miraya finished her speech, and enthusiastic applause broke out once again in the hall.

Miraya formally announced to everyone: "I declare the fundraiser open. All donations and amounts donated will be used for grassroots medical assistance. I will ensure complete transparency and fairness in all expenditures, and welcome everyone to supervise."

"I donate 200 million Star Coins!"

At this moment, a youth in luxurious attire with an extraordinary demeanor took the lead and walked to the front of the donation platform, calling out.

This led to a round of discussion in the venue.

"Isn’t that the Third Young Master of the Lante Family from the Fasik Empire at the First Birthplace?"

"That’s him, I heard he’s a loyal fan of Miraya."

"No wonder he donated so much."

...

With someone taking the lead, one by one, the guests began to step forward.

The virtual big screen in the banquet hall began to show the names of donors and the amounts.

"Miss Qing Wei from the Rose Kingdom donated 5 million Star Coins."

"Mr. Hulk from the Vast Kingdom donated 1 million Star Coins."

...

At this moment, Ai Lu was seen walking toward the donation platform, causing a stir below.

"Look, Lady Ai Lu is going on stage."

"How much do you think she will donate?"

"Not sure."

...

Ai Lu raised her hand and waved the electronic bracelet.

The virtual screen immediately displayed a line of text.

"Star Ring City Royal Order of Twelve Knights·Ai Lu donated 300 billion Star Coins!"

...

In an instant, the entire banquet hall was in an uproar, with many exclaiming in shock.

"Oh my god, a donation of 300 billion!"

"So much!"

...

Su Mo was also a bit stunned, that’s quite the significant donation.

At this moment, Euler said to Su Mo, "Mr. Su Mo, I’ll go up to donate now."

"Alright, you go ahead, I’ll follow shortly."

Su Mo nodded.
