Destiny Mission of game 'Star Ring'-Chapter 1142 - 853: No Problem (Second Update)

After all, there aren’t many experts in the Empire who can handle the V generation mecha, so repairing it is pointless.

Of course, the main reason is that the cost of repair is too exorbitant.

"As long as His Majesty is happy. According to our initial agreement, isn’t it time for His Majesty to fulfill the promise after obtaining the items from the ruins?"

Delivro respectfully asked.

"Oh, you’re talking about supplies? No problem, I’ve already had them prepared. I would never shortchange you."

Emperor Marcus replied generously.

"And what about the Stone Tablet, Your Majesty?"

Delivro smilingly reminded.

Upon hearing this, Sico’s eyes narrowed involuntarily, a trace of murderous intent flashed in his murky eyes, and the air became noticeably cooler.

At this moment, Emperor Marcus waved his hand cheerfully and said, "Oh, I thought you were going to mention something else. If it’s that useless Stone Tablet, you can have it! I can’t understand it anyway, it’s of no use to me. I only want wealth and weapons!"

Hearing this, Delivro felt a burden lifted from his heart and humbly said,

"Thank you so much, Your Majesty. It’s truly a pleasure to cooperate with you. I am confident that our Fallen God Sect and your nation can become close allies."

"Absolutely, haha! Go and rest for now. I’ll have someone prepare the items for you to take."

Emperor Marcus responded with a hearty laugh.

"Thank you very much."

Delivro put his cloak hood back on, bowed to Emperor Marcus, and turned to leave.

Soon, only Emperor Marcus and Sico were left in the room.

"Your Majesty, the guts of these Fallen God Sect guys are really big, daring to ask for such things. Should I have my men take care of them?"

Sico asked with deadly intent in his voice.

Emperor Marcus raised his hand to stop Sico: "No, not yet. Now is not the time to fall out and clash with the Fallen God Sect. Their strength is still formidable, after all, surviving under the pressure of Star Ring City takes more than just luck."

In fact, the Fallen God Sect’s cooperation with Emperor Marcus is due to being constantly hunted by Star Ring City.

Their people can’t enter Star Ring City’s sphere of influence on a large scale.

So they needed a partner to help them excavate the ruins and bring out the Stone Tablet.

Additionally, they can obtain some essential supplies from Emperor Marcus, as they have no way to procure these freely within Star Ring City.

Even though their sect can be self-sufficient, there are always some critical supplies they lack.

"But Your Majesty, if we don’t kill them, we surely can’t really hand over the Stone Tablet, can we?"

Sico asked, somewhat confused.

"Give it to them. Regardless of whether it’s supplies or the Stone Tablet, hand it over. I have my own plan."

Emperor Marcus’s smile became increasingly chilling.

While Sico did not know what Emperor Marcus had planned, from his expression, Sico knew that the Emperor had an idea.

"Yes, I understand."

Federation · Imperial City.

Su Mo appeared at the entrance of the Lin Family’s manor within the high walls.

Strips of white silk were hung on the manor’s main gate.

The security guards and the servants at the entrance were all dressed in white mourning attire.

"Su Mo, you’re here."

At this moment, Qian Chengxue, dressed in white mourning clothes, walked out.

"Yeah, has it started?"

Su Mo took a deep breath and inquired.

"Not yet, the formal ceremony starts the day after tomorrow. But first, come in with me."

Qian Chengxue softly explained to Su Mo.

"Alright."

Su Mo followed Qian Chengxue into the manor.

Entering the manor, Su Mo could clearly sense that the atmosphere was different. The surrounding street lamps and some trees were all decorated with strips of white silk.

At the same time, the Lin Family was gathering an unprecedented crowd.

Middle-aged men and women, dressed in white mourning clothes, were continuously sobbing softly.

These people seemed quite unfamiliar; if he guessed correctly, they were either distant relatives of the Lin Family or very close affiliates, also the kin of the deceased.

Qian Chengxue quietly explained to Su Mo: "Most of these people are from branch families and corporate groups. Father said all those who sacrificed themselves did so for the Lin Family and the Federation, regardless of their rank or class. So everyone will be mourned equally; anyone not from the Lin Family will be taken back, but the descendants of the Lin Family, whether from the main family or the branches, will all be sent to the ancestral shrine and family tomb."

"That’s quite fair."

Su Mo nodded in approval.

As they walked in, Su Mo could see from afar Lin Yaotian in white mourning clothes, listening intently to the sobbing tales of relatives.

Despite not usually being fond of words, he kept speaking to console them.

Seeing this from afar, Su Mo turned to Qian Chengxue and asked, "Father-in-law must have had a rough time lately, hasn’t he?"

"Actually, this expedition was something most prepared themselves for in terms of sacrifice, so they don’t blame Father. But precisely because of that, Father feels even more guilty. However, what’s really troubling is my uncle. He’s been using the high casualties as leverage to attack my father and has been encouraging my uncles to push for his removal as Clan Leader."

Qian Chengxue whispered.

Su Mo replied thoughtfully, "Don’t worry, they won’t make much of a fuss. Father-in-law just isn’t interested in dealing with them right now. Once the mourning is over, he’ll naturally handle it."

"Yes, I understand."

Qian Chengxue sighed softly in response.

"You look somewhat unwell, you must be exhausted lately."

Su Mo asked with concern.

"It’s nothing, I haven’t done much, just helping with the arrangements. Are you tired from your trip from Star Ring City? How about you take a bath first, I’ll prepare some clothes for you to change into."

Qian Chengxue forced a smile and replied.

"Yes, I should change my clothes."

After a moment of thought, Su Mo agreed, as wearing regular clothes in this setting felt a touch out of place, even if no one would say anything.

A moment later, Su Mo followed Qian Chengxue to the room, placing his phone and Heavenly Sin Blade on the table.

"I’ll go in and take a quick shower first."

"Alright, just leave the bathroom door slightly ajar, I’ll bring the clothes for you."

"Okay."

Su Mo walked straight into the bathroom.

Soon, the sound of running water echoed from the bathroom.

Qian Chengxue opened a nearby cabinet and took out a brand new set of white mourning clothes.

She walked towards the bathroom, but accidentally bumped into the protruding Heavenly Sin Blade, causing Su Mo’s phone to fall to the floor.

Bang~

The entire phone crashed to the ground, and the phone case separated.

Qian Chengxue paused slightly, quickly squatting to pick up Su Mo’s phone, checking if it had been damaged.

Fortunately, although Su Mo’s phone was an old model, its quality was unexpectedly good.

Even after falling from the table, it remained perfectly intact.
