-----------------------
Inside the Legendary Level Star Destroyer·Immortal Blade.
Su Mo and the others were completely shocked when they heard Icaroya City Lord’s declaration.
Such dominance and confidence!
Moreover, Su Mo was very glad he didn’t become greedy, decisively retreating, as the main battlefield indeed ended prematurely.
At this moment, the people aboard Mo Baoke and Xiao Wen’s ships shouted passionately.
"Haha, we won!"
In contrast, Tilo and the others seemed very calm, as if all this had nothing to do with them.
This moment Su Mo couldn’t help but praise inwardly.
"Amazing, that declaration was obviously pre-recorded. Icaroya City Lord had accurately predicted complete victory even before executing this grand attack plan."
"That crazy woman’s capabilities aren’t in doubt, but I don’t believe her words. Is it truly the dawn of a new era, or the beginning of the worst times?"
The creator·Swallower coldly replied.
"You seem a bit biased."
Su Mo replied with a smile.
"Hmph."
The creator·Swallower was too lazy to say more.
At this time, Qian Chengxue stood next to them, her cool face showing a faint smile, she said to Su Mo, "The war is finally over, let’s hope for a better future."
"Efforts will make it so. Let’s not dwell on that. Immortal Blade is handed over to Artificial Intelligence·Dark Spirit for control, everyone head to the conference room for a meeting!"
Su Mo directly gave the order.
Everyone was slightly surprised, but they all responded promptly.
"Alright."
Before long, all of Su Mo’s trusted individuals were gathered in the conference room.
Su Mo scanned everyone present, his demeanor serious and earnest as he spoke.
"Everyone here is one of us, so I won’t say pleasantries. Our operation this time was extremely successful, acquiring a staggering amount of supplies. These supplies are crucial for our future development. I hope everyone can restrain those under them, especially you Mo Baoke, ensure they act cleanly. If these materials do get leaked, it will draw attention for sure. Then, you won’t need me to explain how severe the consequences could be, will you?"
"Yes, yes, boss."
Mo Baoke immediately replied.
"Rest assured, I will not shortchange anyone here. Once the dust settles, I will reward everyone generously."
Su Mo continued.
Xiao Wen then spoke to Su Mo, "Don’t worry, Su Mo, Chen Shan and I will handle everything properly and not cause trouble for you."
"Actually, those present are people I trust the most, I never worry about you. But the stakes this time are incredibly high, no one can guarantee those below won’t become envious and reckless."
Su Mo laid it out directly.
"Indeed, to be honest, even we, who have seen through life and death, find it tempting."
Kendi agreed.
"So to prevent leaks and attracting danger, from this moment, the group will implement lockdown, confiscating all communication devices, and activating signal jammers. Everyone must pair up and supervise each other, anyone showing suspicious behavior must be captured immediately, especially your people, Mo Baoke."
"Huh? Boss, I’m absolutely loyal to you!"
Mo Baoke quickly declared, feeling he was unfairly targeted.
"I’ve never doubted you, but your people are the most disorganized and hard to manage."
Su Mo spoke solemnly.
"You’re right, boss, but don’t worry, any rascal daring to cause trouble will feel my wrath first."
Mo Baoke replied, scratching his head.
Xiao Wen also assured, "Don’t worry, Su Mo, we’ll carry out the measures unconditionally."
Su Mo nodded slightly at their responses, then turned to Kendi and the others.
"Kendi, take some people and go to Mo Baoke’s fleet to assist him in supervision."
"No problem."
Kendi responded decisively.
Then Su Mo turned towards Xiao Wen, asking, "Do you need assistance on your side?"
Chen Shan was about to say it wasn’t so troublesome, but Xiao Wen immediately said, "If convenient, send some people down. Although most of my people are reliable, there are inevitably spies mixed in from different sides, your people helping is more secure."
"Alright, Man Si will lead a group to assist Xiao Wen."
Su Mo directly instructed Man Si.
"No problem."
Man Si responded promptly.
Su Mo then addressed everyone, saying, "In extraordinary times, extraordinary measures are needed, please bear with it."
"Understood!"
Everyone answered in unison.
"Is there anything unclear?"
Su Mo asked again.
"Yes, are we to rendezvous with the Radiant City’s main fleet, return to Earth Star, or go to Star Ring City?"
Tilo asked.
Su Mo pondered over Tilo’s words, his expression changing, before waving his hand.
"Alright, everyone take action, Tilo stays."
"Understood."
Kendi, Xiao Wen, Mo Baoke, and the others got up and left.
Soon only Tilo and Su Mo remained in the conference room, but Su Mo didn’t immediately tell Tilo where to head, instead he tapped his fingers on the conference table, lost in thought.
The creator·Swallower spoke to Su Mo in a deep voice.
"Why are you hesitating?"
"How could I not hesitate? With so many valuable things on board now, nowhere feels safe. If anyone finds out, it’ll definitely attract eyeing masses."
Su Mo replied, distressed. Don’t be fooled by people from the Star Ring System—if profits are large enough, they’ll turn against you without a second thought.
"Not stupid after all, some self-awareness there, knowing the saying ’innocent civilians bearing treasures invite disaster.’" The creator·Swallower seldom praised.
Su Mo’s lips twitched, he was tempted to tell Xiaoshi about how its eyes glint at those energy crystals, let alone anyone else.
But he restrained himself, lest Xiaoshi become irked once its sore spot was touched. Then he asked Xiaoshi for advice.
"Any suggestions?"
"Return to Star Ring City via the old man’s port; this wealth is too immense, even the Federation isn’t secure."
The creator·Swallower suggested.
"I think so too."
Su Mo concurred.
After confirming, Su Mo looked up at Tilo.
Tilo waited quietly for Su Mo to speak, showing no urgency.
At this moment, Su Mo told Tilo, "Return to Star Ring City, along the way avoid other starships as much as possible."
"No problem. Anything else? If not, I’ll execute."
Tilo acknowledged with understanding.
