Chapter 767: Chapter 119: Popularity

Xu Mo had always sought friendships with princes and princesses from various planets and wished to avoid conflicts with anyone. He had planned to lay low until the Blue Star Energy Technology Group could grow stronger.

But now, as the Blue Star Energy Technology had developed to a certain extent, Lucas Star had had ideas.

Especially after the Black God Fleet’s invasion battle, many were likely aware of the strength of the Blue Star Energy Technology Group, leading King Richard to want possession of the group’s technology. Although Xu Mo was not clear on the specifics, Prince Charles’s instigation was undoubtedly involved.

Otherwise, this conflict could have been postponed.

At the last dinner, King Richard had hinted at wanting to acquire the technology of the Blue Star Energy Technology Group. Still, thinking that he and Elizabeth were in love, Elizabeth, who was holding his arm, had prevented King Richard from pursuing the matter further.

But they both knew it couldn’t be delayed for long. Elizabeth subsequently had Xu Mo transfer key personnel away; indeed, by today, it was exposed. Previously, due to Elizabeth’s involvement, King Richard had wanted the technology, but now, knowing the truth, King Richard would inevitably want to take control of the Blue Star Energy Technology Group.

Under these circumstances, Xu Mo could either go with Charlie, handing over the group and perhaps saving his life, or he could openly confront the matter, escalating it. That way, if the Royal Family cared about their reputation, they might be restrained. If they acted underhandedly, he would be in even greater danger.

The library suddenly became very quiet.

Arrogant speech, defeating Sterling, Thunder Power, recalling Xu Mo and Elizabeth’s relationship, the Princess often came to the Library.

All were shocked to see all this, how could they not understand.

Xu Mo was, indeed, the Princess’s Guard.

The Princess had said that Xu Mo was at Lucas University, but she did not say he was a student there. At this moment, they finally understood.

The Princess Guard was the Lucas University Librarian.

Alone, he had defeated the Holy Temple Knights, and now, he was clashing with the Royal Knights, driving Sterling back.

But why had he clashed with Prince Charles?

Was it because of Princess Elizabeth’s affair?

After Sterling was driven back, members of the Royal Knights gathered around, two of whom released an extremely strong Source Power aura, pressing towards Xu Mo.

This scene changed the expressions of those around them, they were at least S-rank.

It seemed, today, Prince Charles was determined to take people away.

“Stop.” A voice came, instantly drawing many gazes.

Princess Elizabeth had arrived.

Elizabeth walked forward, and the members of the Royal Knights couldn’t help but clear a path for her, Charlie’s gaze fixed on Elizabeth, his heart sneering.

If Elizabeth continued to protect Xu Mo, then she would only disappoint her father.

King Richard had always doted greatly on Elizabeth, something Charlie was very aware of. Since Elizabeth was young and King Richard’s only daughter, she was naturally his precious jewel.

Thus, when Elizabeth suddenly wanted to contend for the right of succession, Prince Charlie felt somewhat threatened, unsure of King Richard’s intentions.

If King Richard was truly indulgent enough not to mind Elizabeth ascending to the throne, then he, Charlie, would be in danger.

This incident was undoubtedly a perfect opportunity to make Elizabeth lose favor in King Richard’s eyes.

Last time, Elizabeth had pretended that Xu Mo was her boyfriend, which King Richard had already been displeased about. As the ruler of Lucas Star, his precious daughter, the highly esteemed Princess, likes someone who has a girlfriend?

If it was only liking, then it might still be fine, but she had pretended to be his girlfriend, had close contact with him, even taking him to her chamber.

Which father could tolerate that? Especially if he was the King.

No matter how outstanding Xu Mo was, in front of King Richard, he was still just a talented young man.

Elizabeth walked up to Xu Mo’s side, turned her head towards Prince Charles and said, “What are you doing?”

“Elizabeth, step aside,” said Prince Charles.

“Take a look behind you,” Elizabeth responded coldly. Prince Charles didn’t turn around, but he knew that more people were gathering in the library.

“Take everyone back,” Elizabeth continued, as continuing the commotion would damage the Royal Family’s face.

Elizabeth knew that Charlie’s arrival was undoubtedly at her father’s command, and if word got out, it wouldn’t sound good.

King Richard, in his pursuit to take over Blue Star Energy Technology, wanted Xu Mo?

Hence, Prince Charles dared not claim it was King Richard’s command.

“Elizabeth, you understand what you’ve done, right?” Prince Charles said coldly. Elizabeth was walking deeper into the abyss, daring to publicly protect Xu Mo.

“Boom…”

Just then, a wild aura was released, causing a stir among the people behind, who then made way.

A figure clad in Armor appeared, her presence striking, holding a dazzling Energy Sword, charging straight towards Prince Charles.

The library was already cramped, and everyone moved aside to both sides.

“It’s Zero.”

Someone recognized the armored figure as Zero.

She charged directly toward where the crowd was. Members of the Royal Knights turned around, exploding with a powerful Source Power aura, thrusting a Long Spear towards Zero, but Zero leapt into the air and slashed with her sword.
