CHAPTER 738: 589

After moving the Gluttonous Mecha back to the hangar, Su Mo returned to his designated rest room.

As he reached the hall, he bumped straight into Lord Spade and Rose, who had just finished their meal.

"Lord Spade, good day,"

Su Mo greeted with respect.

Lord Spade was in a very good mood. He walked straight up to Su Mo, lifted his robust and powerful hand, and patted Su Mo’s shoulder as he praised him in a deep voice, "Well done, you’ve worked hard."

"You are too kind, Lord Spade,"

Su Mo replied humbly.

"Just stating the truth, you must not have eaten yet, go have some food and take a good rest,"

Lord Spade advised with concern.

"Alright,"

Su Mo replied without any sign of inferiority or arrogance.

Immediately afterward, Lord Spade, with a smile on his face, walked towards his own room.

Rose stood in place with a smiling face as she watched Su Mo, and then said to him, "What you did this time was just too splendid; I never expected you could crush and kill the Insect King in such a dominating manner."

"Just lucky, if that Insect King had been a bit stronger, it would have been troublesome,"

Su Mo replied with a bitter smile. Don’t think that he fought as if it was effortless. In fact, he had also put in quite a struggle, going all out from the start, giving no chance for his opponent to catch their breath.

"It’s a shame you weren’t there to see it. You didn’t see the looks on the officials of the Yanas Kingdom; they all looked as if they had swallowed bitter medicine and couldn’t utter a word for half a day. Especially Lord Beilo; I reckon her mood was like stormy seas. I dare say, after this battle, the Yanas Kingdom will definitely treat us with even more courtesy."

Rose couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

"Isn’t that bit of an exaggeration? One battle shouldn’t really make that much of a difference, right? In fact, even without me, they could have solved the issue with their abilities. It’s not impossible,"

"That’s just how reality is. The games between great nations are often reflected in these details. Anyway, this time you’ve taught them all a good lesson,"

"Alright then,"

Su Mo said, seeing Rose insist, he didn’t argue any further.

The next day, Lord Spade met with Beilo again, alone.

Lord Spade clearly felt that Beilo looked a bit languid, probably having not slept well the previous night.

"My apologies! Lord Spade, what happened last night was quite a spectacle,"

"You are too courteous, Lord Beilo; those were trifles. My visit this time is to bid you farewell, and I am very grateful for your hospitality these last few days. However, we still have a lot to do, so it’s about time we set sail and follow up on the agreement we’ve reached,"

Lord Spade said with a smile as he took his leave.

Beilo didn’t seem surprised by Lord Spade’s farewell; she had anticipated this much.

If it weren’t for the events of the previous evening, she might have simply played along.

But now the situation had changed slightly, so Beilo didn’t immediately agree and instead tactfully advised, "Lord Spade, you’ve only been here for a few days, there’s no need to rush off. It would look as if our Yanas Kingdom has not been a good host. When the sovereign hears of this, they will definitely blame me, and I cannot escape my responsibility,"

"No, no, Lord Beilo, your hospitality has been more than adequate. It’s just that I am entangled with trifles back home, and I really cannot continue to stay here,"

"How about this, Lord Spade? Why don’t you leave tomorrow? You’re in a hurry, but not by that much, right?"

"That’s not a problem, alright then,"

Seeing Beilo’s sincere invitation, Lord Spade could not insist on leaving.

Seeing Lord Spade agree, Beilo smiled and said, "That’s settled then. Oh, I almost forgot, there’s something I need to discuss with you, Lord Spade."

"Oh? What’s that?"

Lord Spade squinted his eyes with curiosity. If he remembered correctly, they had basically settled all matters, unless the other party had changed their mind at the last minute?

"The thing is, Lord Spade, I won’t hide it from you, our fleet has received orders from the Kingdom to head to other Star Seas for further exploration and resource collection, so we’re planning on not continuing our exploration in the Kativaro Star Sky."

"That’s really a pity!"

Lord Spade expressed his regret, though inside, he was nearly overjoyed.

"It is indeed a pity. Although the resources in this star sky are hard to find, they’re actually quite abundant. I must admit, I am a bit reluctant to leave. Plus, having your country’s company, looking out for one another—it couldn’t have been better. Just too bad we can’t defy the royal command!"

Beilo subtly began to mislead Lord Spade.

"You don’t have to be too upset, Lord Beilo. The world itself is full of regret,"

Lord Spade said with a smile.

"You’re right, Lord Spade. I discussed it with others yesterday, Since we’re about to leave here anyway, and your country also made an effort to help us last night, we must show some gratitude. Therefore, we’ve decided to give this gift to your country,"

Beilo handed a small data disk to Lord Spade.

"What is this?"

Lord Spade asked, but honestly accepted the disk.

"It’s some data from our exploration of the Kativaro Star Sky, it marks quite a few resource points we’ve discovered, as well as areas frequented by monsters. Since it’s of no use to us now, we thought we’d pass it on to your country. I think it might provide a bit of help to your country,"

Beilo said generously.

Of course, how could she possibly be so generous? While all the resource coordinates listed were real, they had virtually mined at each one, just not completely; there was still something left. In short, it was neither satisfying to eat nor good enough to discard. She brought it out both as a gesture of goodwill and to mislead and delay Lord Spade and his people. This couldn’t be more appropriate; this way, they could take the opportunity to quickly leave and dig for new resources in a new Star Sea.
