Chapter 537 -11 Distinguished Guests_2
“Bang, crack!”
A violent sound erupted in the air, and then both bodies hit the ground. When the mecha landed, it was already headless, with sparking electricity flashing from where it had been severed.
The surroundings suddenly fell silent for a moment, the terrifying power making hearts tremble.
Sal’s gaze turned towards the direction where Elizabeth was, considering her his true opponent.
Elizabeth was also looking back at him with a serious expression.
Sal turned and walked away, and like Elizabeth, he was surrounded by many supporters.
As a standing director of the Star System Alliance, the Lasas Kingdom controlled many planets, and also had strong influence over nearby star systems. This gave them significant power within the Star System Alliance, enough to challenge the Lucas Star head-on.
Sal had come for the Lucas Royal Family’s Elizabeth.
“You will also encounter him and probably none of you would be his match,” Elizabeth said to Carter and the others by her side. Even she was not confident she could defeat Sal, who was not even in his strongest combat state yet.
The natural abilities of the Lasas Royal Family were terrifying indeed.
When Xu Mo watched the fight videos sent by Carter and Ize, he told them there was no chance.
Although Carter and Ize’s previous opponents were a bit stronger than them, the gap wasn’t too great. As they progressed, the differences remained within a manageable range. With certain tactics and their strongest attacks, there was still a possibility of victory.
Both had high aptitude, and they advanced forward by defeating stronger enemies with their inferior strength.
But after just one glance at Sal’s combat, Xu Mo knew they were not even on the same level. Sal’s burst of power was too terrifying, somewhat akin to the Titan Clan. His comprehensive quality and abilities meant that even Carter and Ize’s strongest attacks would simply be blasted away when faced head-on.
So no matter how specialized their training, there was no chance of victory in this battle.
Just as Xu Mo had predicted, Sal advanced with sweeping momentum. Neither Carter nor Ize could rival him, and they were defeated.
Ultimately, in the final match of the tournament.
Sal encountered Elizabeth and transformed into a fearsome War God, fighting with an even more ferocious stance. He defeated Elizabeth and took the title of champion of the newcomer’s tournament with an extremely dominant attitude.
Soon, there was no one at Lucas University who did not know the name Sal, of the Lasas Royal Family.
However, these events seemed irrelevant to Xu Mo, who continued to spend his time in the Library, and moreover, he had significant matters to attend to.
The deadline for Ross’s repayment had finally arrived.
At this moment, head bowed, he stood in front of Xu Mo, his attitude subservient, the proud Tard man finally lowering his noble head.
“Mr. Xu Mo, please give me another chance. The last loss was due to a sneak attack. As long as I have the principal, I can surely make it all back with profit,” Ross pleaded, bowing deeply to Xu Mo: “Please trust me once more.”
Xu Mo looked at the eloquent Tard man before him, well aware of Ross’s true character.
“Look at me,” Xu Mo said to Ross.
Ross raised his head to meet Xu Mo’s gaze but quickly wanted to look away as soon as their eyes met. Xu Mo’s stare was too intimidating, it felt like it could see right through him. The self-proclaimed clever Ross felt he had no secrets at all in front of Xu Mo.
Indeed, he had no secrets.
The Tard people, with their high business IQ, did not have the abilities of a Transcendent. In front of Xu Mo, all their thoughts were known; they had no choice but to be at his mercy.
“Despicable Tard person,” Xu Mo’s hand flew out in a slap that struck Ross directly on the face, the action sudden and unexpected.

Ross looked up at Xu Mo in anger, his cheek stinging from the slap. The proud Tard man couldn’t believe he had been slapped, an insult of the highest order.
“I trusted you and invested a large amount of assets in you, yet you cursed me maliciously, plotting and using me. You planned to kick me to the curb once you turned your fortunes around. The Tard people truly aren’t worthy of any trust or sympathy,” Xu Mo thundered in a low, wrathful voice.
Ross’s eyes shifted from anger to fear.
How did he know his own thoughts?
Ross was sure he hadn’t betrayed any flaws, his gaze sincere.
But Xu Mo seemed to know everything.
Was he a Demon?
“I didn’t,” Ross denied: “In my heart, I was thinking of repaying Mr. Xu Mo.”
“Shut up, don’t forget what I study; your hypocritical eyes can’t fool me,” Xu Mo lowered his voice, but his gaze carried anger and a chilling intent, “Disappear from my sight and wait to be ruined. The despicable Tard people will be expelled from Lucas University, burdened with debt, and become a worm. Every cent you earn in the future will be used to pay off your debts.”
Ross was frightened, looking at Xu Mo with a fearful expression.
He was genuinely scared.
At this moment, there was no pride or dignity to speak of.
If Xu Mo sued him, he would lose everything and become a worm on Lucas Star, unable to turn his situation around.
“Mr. Xu Mo, please give me another chance,” Ross’s voice trembled.
“Hmph,” Xu Mo said coldly, “I will never trust a despicable Tard person again.”
“Mr. Xu Mo, I can do anything for you, please give me one last chance,” Ross’s legs were shaking even though he was a shrewd Tard person, his intentions seen through, how could he possibly match Xu Mo.
Still too young!
“Anything?” Xu Mo asked.
“Yes, as long as it’s not illegal,” Ross still retained a shred of rationality.
“Okay,” Xu Mo nodded, took out a document from his person, and handed it to Ross, “Sign this.”
“……” Ross looked at the document prepared by Xu Mo, his mind unable to process for a moment.
Was this prepared in advance?
Ross glanced at the contents of the document, and his face turned pale instantly.
This was a ten-year indenture contract!
The contents of the contract bound him tightly; as long as he signed his name, he would completely belong to Xu Mo for these ten years.
Was he being calculated against?
Looking up at Xu Mo, he was angry and wanted to tear it up, but he didn’t dare.
“What, thinking of tearing it up?” Xu Mo said.
“……” Ross looked at Xu Mo with some grievances. He truly felt aggrieved; his mood today seemed to be constantly changing rapidly.
Is this freaking a demon!
Knowing everything he was thinking.
“Well, tear it up then, and you’ll be free afterward, completely ‘free’,” Xu Mo continued, and Ross felt like crying.
“I’ll sign,” Ross said with grievance, taking the pen prepared by Xu Mo, he signed his full name with trembling hands and pressed his thumbprint before handing it back to Xu Mo.
“I’ve recorded it, everything is voluntary. The wise Tard people, from now on we’ll be partners,” Xu Mo patted Ross on the head.
If someone patted his head on a normal day, Ross would have angrily resisted, but at this moment he was like a submissive pet, not daring to defy.
He was truly scared.
Ten years, he was still young; ten years wasn’t that long, after ten years, once the debt was paid, he would be free.
The naive Tard person didn’t think that there would be another ten-year contract within these ten years!
Ross left the Library, and Xu Mo stored the contract with some satisfaction.
Tard people are indeed cunning and despicable, Xu Mo felt no guilt at all; Ross had wanted to PUA him, but ended up being reverse-P’ed, the Tard people should be quite afraid of him now, shouldn’t they?
He was such an innocent, kind-hearted person, always ready to help others, if you don’t believe it, just ask Ize, Carter, or Sorey.
At that moment, a figure walked into the deserted row of shelves, seemingly looking for books. He had short hair, a tall stature, and an extraordinary demeanor; Xu Mo glanced at him and recognized the person, somewhat surprised.
It was Sal, from the Lasas Kingdom’s Royal Family.
He had seen his combat videos before, so he had come to the Library too?
What an honored guest!
