Chapter 530: Chapter 8 How Long This Leg Is

Xu Mo looked at Yekaterina, then at Sorey.

Carolan Star and Odin Mountain Star were more closely connected with the other planets in the Star System Alliance, unlike Byron Star, which was actually a fringe planet.

However, when it came to Combat Power, Carolan Star, being a permanent council star, was much more powerful than Odin Mountain Star, both in terms of planet size and population.

But Odin Mountain Star had something Carolan Star couldn’t match: wealth.

Odin Mountain Star was known as Rich Star, teeming with resources and a relatively small population, which made it very wealthy.

Just like Sorey said, all he had was money.

So, the Sorey Brothers was a down-to-earth person.

He liked this kind of straightforward brother, so he decided to help out the Sorey Brothers.

“Sorey, why hasn’t Odin Mountain Star, as a resource-rich planet, been plundered?” Xu Mo asked. Resources were always a coveted target, likely eyed greedily by all the major planets.

Upon hearing Xu Mo’s question, Sorey looked around cautiously, as if wary, then spoke softly, “Many people in the Star System Alliance have taken our favors.”

Xu Mo understood.

Bribery.

Indeed, it was the same in every world.

Another point was that Odin Mountain Star was not technologically advanced and posed no threat to the members of the Star System Alliance. As a resource provider, as long as it kept supplying ample resources to some of the big players in the alliance and maintained a certain balance, it would be safe. No one would act against it because doing so would make them a target for everyone else.

“Ms. Yekaterina, I think Sorey could help you,” Xu Mo spoke up. “Odin Mountain Star boasts strong social connections, and I’m sure Sorey has access to many of them too.”

“By the way, Sorey Bros, I still don’t know what exactly your status is on Odin Mountain Star,” Xu Mo inquired.

“My grandfather is the ruler of Odin Mountain Star,” Sorey said in a low voice.

Xu Mo’s mouth formed an O, and his eyelid twitched.

“Your dad isn’t the heir, is he?” Xu Mo weakly asked.

“No, my uncle is the heir, so all I need to do is enjoy spending money,” Sorey explained. Although he was of the Royal Family, his family relations were harmonious. His uncle always told his dad to give him more money to spend, making sure he never felt aggrieved.

After all, the family had nothing in abundance except for money, which they could never spend up.

Xu Mo understood; there seemed to be a reason for Sorey’s profligacy.

As long as he didn’t touch power, he could fool around as much as he wanted. His heir uncle was even keen to see him splash out, quietly being a wastrel noble.

He suspected that Sorey’s way into Lucas Star was also paved with money. Wealth does breed influence.

This brother of his truly was poor only in everything but money!

It looked like the Isaien girl Sorey had previously charmed was no simple green tea. She had big plans, and it was unfortunate that Xu Mo had interfered, no wonder she ran to the Library in a fit of fury to settle accounts with him, almost hooking Sorey successfully.

Women are indeed inscrutable, Zero is much more innocent!

“I have an uncle who is in charge here on Lucas Star; he knows a lot of people. Ms. Yekaterina, if you want to meet people, I can have my uncle introduce you,” Sorey said to Yekaterina.

“Ms. Yekaterina, you must have some family here too, right? You could use Sorey to connect your networks, showcasing your value. If you need help with other things, I believe Sorey will be willing to collaborate with you,” Xu Mo said. Yekaterina, still in university, couldn’t easily contact those in power, but her family could. As long as her family saw that her value was higher than a marriage alliance with the Elder Council, that should be enough.

“That’s right,” Sorey readily agreed.

Yekaterina gave Sorey a glance, as if she had no better options.

But it was still better than marrying into someone from the Elder Council.

“Yekaterina, can we go on a date now?” Sorey earnestly asked.

“…” Xu Mo really wanted to smack him.

What’s wrong with talking about feelings? He’s turned it into a transaction.

This guy had transactional thinking on his mind.

Bringing gifts before was the same, a natural ATM.

“I’ll consider it,” Yekaterina walked away.

“Did I say something wrong?” Sorey turned to Xu Mo.

“You’re talking money and deals with someone who doesn’t have money. Yekaterina is a member of the Royal Family. You have to be romantic, have style, and let her see your worth without saying it outright,” Xu Mo said helplessly. It’s all about the bigger picture!

“Xu Mo bro, you need to teach me more,” Sorey said, grasping Xu Mo’s hand, and from his pocket, he pulled out several stacks of Star bills and placed them in Xu Mo’s palm.

Xu Mo was moved to tears.

Talking about money to someone without money… How did he know he was broke!

How did this bastard get clued in so fast?

“What should I do next?” Sorey asked.

“Just wait for her to contact you. If she does reach out to you, when you’re out with her in the future, you could have your uncle deliberately leak some information. You get it, right?” Xu Mo said. Yekaterina was smart. She’d know what to choose.

“Understood,” Sorey nodded.

“You’re not going to do the same as last time, are you?” Xu Mo looked at Sorey. “Yekaterina is from the Carolan Star’s Royal Family, not the previous girl from Isaien. If you’re just looking to have fun, forget it; don’t go too far this time.”

If Sorey flaked out again, Xu Mo feared he’d end up in grave danger, considering he was the instigator…

“Don’t worry, Xu Mo bro, I’m not that kind of person,” Sorey said, patting Xu Mo’s shoulder.

“…” Xu Mo was somewhat uneasy.

“The girl from Isaien was only after my money, Yekaterina is not someone she can compare with,” Sorey was clear about that.
