The Seventh Base

Capítulo 1191: Chapter 236: Asgardian Factions

A few days later, it was still the sky restaurant in Asgard Tower.

Xu Mo and Miss Victoria arrived here. Over the past few days, the two have kept in touch. Miss Victoria actively helped Xu Mo collect some information, informing him about various forces in Asgard, much of which was public and known to the outside world.

And on this day, she brought some of the top clients’ names and brief profiles from the Imperial First Bank.

Of course, there were no specific asset numbers. She put a lot of effort into getting part of the list, as the asset numbers were very sensitive. Even if she truly wished to help Xu Mo check them, she wouldn’t be able to. Otherwise, if leaked, it would be a disaster for the entire Imperial First Bank, directly threatening its reputation.

But as for lists alone, they aren’t relatively as critical.

“Mr. Zeus, the list I am showing you today, I can only let you have a look. Afterwards, I will destroy it,” Miss Victoria said to Xu Mo, as it was related to client privacy.

“Alright.” Xu Mo nodded with a smile, “Thank you, Miss Victoria.”

Miss Victoria didn’t say much more and took out a notebook from her pocket. She didn’t record it with electronic products, which would leave traces. Recording with paper products and then destroying them would leave no traces. Miss Victoria was quite cautious about this matter.

Because the two were sitting across from each other, while showing it to Xu Mo, Miss Victoria had to look at it upside down, needing to lean slightly forward, getting closer.

“The Odin Family.” This was the first name, in the name of a family.

“The Odin Family has always existed in Asgard, reportedly with a history of ten thousand years. It is the most powerful family in Asgard, also known as the King of Asgard. In fact, even without checking, one knows that the Odin Family is surely Asgard’s largest consortium. Their influence spans this star domain, having their own fleet, and they own tech companies. However, Mr. Zeus, wanting to cooperate with the Odin Family might be rather difficult,” Miss Victoria did quite a bit of preparatory work this time. She investigated relevant materials for every force and name on the list, although not marked, she remembered them, explaining them to Xu Mo in person.

The Odin Family, as the uncrowned king of Asgard, even though Xu Mo was a significant figure in her eyes, his assets might still not be very conspicuous in the presence of the Odin Family. Not that she underestimated Xu Mo, but the Odin Family was genuinely too colossal.

“Below are some names, along with the Odin Family, which belong to the main members of the Odin Family.” Miss Victoria continued, even though she didn’t believe Xu Mo could have any interaction with the Odin Family, she still patiently explained.

Xu Mo nodded slightly; the Odin Family could be directly ruled out.

“The Hakenan Family, also a native family force of Asgard, existed since the Imperial era, running many industries,” Miss Victoria continued, “Below are likewise names of primary members of the Hakenan Family.”

Even though families existing since the Imperial era could be excluded, Xu Mo did not interrupt Miss Victoria’s introduction. He did not mind spending this bit of time. Finding Fred would likely not be easy; he might need to stay on this planet for a while, thus understanding the forces in Asgard is also very necessary.

“The Shenluo Group was established in the era after the Empire’s collapse. When Asgard was in turmoil, some of Asgard’s top Transcendents united and formed the Shenluo Group to maintain order in Asgard. Later, the Shenluo Group opened several Extraordinary Cultivation Places, with influence spreading across the planet.”

“Duffy, runs Asgard Star’s largest energy company, with operations spanning the energy, finance, and tech industries, is a top figure in Asgard. The Asgard Tower we’re in now also has his shares.”

“How old is Duffy, and when did he start founding the company?” Xu Mo asked, looking up.

Miss Victoria also looked up. Due to the close proximity, they were almost face-to-face, making Miss Victoria blush and retreat slightly, her heart beating somewhat fast.

“Duffy is about over a hundred years old. As for the specific year he began entrepreneurship, I’m not very clear. However, I’ve heard some small rumors that some forces in Asgard have many influences from other forces in the Universe behind the scenes. Many people are just surface-level agents, with the real controllers hidden,” Miss Victoria said, “But the precise situation, I am unable to clarify.”

Miss Victoria was just an employee of the Imperial First Bank, able to hear some gossip during work, but for what’s happening at higher levels, she could not possibly know clearly; it’s too far removed from her.

Just the list information she organized today consisted of figures unreachable for Miss Victoria; she also did not understand why there was a need for that information. In her view, although Xu Mo had considerable assets, compared to the figures on the list, not only were their assets far beyond what Xu Mo could compare to, but what was behind them was not just about wealth.

They controlled power, possessed starships, and even had Skywalker-level figures working for them.

“Duffy.” Xu Mo silently noted this name. Fred and his group might be doing the same behind the scenes with proxy individuals.

“Thunder God Technology, this is a tech company operating in the tech industry. The founder is unknown. The aforementioned largest family in Asgard, the Odin Family, also has shares in it, established in the post-war era. Their products have the most significant influence in Asgard, seen everywhere, and also one of our Imperial First Bank’s top clients.”

“Thunder God Technology, Fred?”

Xu Mo’s eyes lingered on Thunder God Technology for a moment, as this possibility also seemed to exist.

“Star Ring Company is a tech company, but I’m not very familiar with this company and don’t know exactly what they do. I couldn’t find much information, but it seems that they have ample funds in their accounts.”

Miss Victoria continued speaking.

Regarding most of the names on the list, Miss Victoria knew some data, while there were similar few like Star Ring Company that Miss Victoria didn’t understand.

This list had dozens of names, most of which could be directly ruled out, with a few retaining possibility.

Of course, it’s possible that Fred’s name is not on the list either.

Finding Fred was a bit like looking for a needle in a haystack. He was just relying on his judgment that the other party might be operating a tech company and it would require substantial funds to maintain, but it was just a matter of probability.

There’s even the possibility that Fred has genuinely gone into hiding.

“That’s about all I know, Mr. Zeus. Did you remember everything?” Miss Victoria asked, looking up at Xu Mo after she finished talking.

“Hmm.” Xu Mo nodded, “I noted it down, you can destroy it.”

“Thank you.” Miss Victoria thanked, then tore the list in her hand into pieces.

“Miss Victoria, you needn’t be so polite. I should be thanking you,” Xu Mo said, “Last time you also refused the remuneration I offered.”

“Mr. Zeus, I’ve already said, you are my client. It’s my duty to serve you,” Miss Victoria said with a nonchalant smile, resisting the temptation to refuse substantial remuneration, even though she felt somewhat conflicted internally.

After all, it was a figure she could earn only after working for decades.

“This is no longer within your job responsibilities.” Xu Mo smiled.

“It doesn’t matter; let’s just say I’m helping Mr. Zeus,” Miss Victoria said with a sweet smile. With several days of contact, she felt their relationship was somewhat closer. And at her age, there were always a few unrealistic fantasies.

“In that case, I’ve prepared a little gift for Miss Victoria. Open it after you get home.” Xu Mo handed an exquisitely packaged gift box to Miss Victoria.

Miss Victoria’s heart rate accelerated, as she looked at Xu Mo, “Is this a surprise?”

“Yes, a surprise.” Xu Mo smiled.

“Then I’ll accept it,” Miss Victoria didn’t refuse this time, as it was just a small gift.

She didn’t expect Mr. Zeus to be so romantic.

Thinking of this, Miss Victoria’s unrealistic fantasy seemed to stir once more.

“I might need Miss Victoria’s help with some things in the future,” Xu Mo continued.

“No problem, Mr. Zeus can contact me anytime, as long as I can do it.” Miss Victoria nodded.

“Deal.” Xu Mo smiled, following which he would need to start investigating a few suspects, and might still need Miss Victoria’s assistance.

After dinner, the two bid farewell once more. After parting, Miss Victoria holding her gift trotted off with a smile, her golden long hair flying in the wind.

Afterwards, Xu Mo’s figure flashed, directly flying into the sky.

Start with investigating Duffy.

After organizing the data, he had initially four investigation targets, all with possibilities, though with varying probabilities. However, to avoid missing anything, Xu Mo planned to investigate them one by one.

Victoria returned to her rental house, which was not large but was lovingly and exquisitely furnished.

She worked at the Imperial First Bank, located in the central area of Asgard, a place where every inch of land was gold. The idea of purchasing a property there was a mere daydream, something she couldn’t afford throughout a century of working.

Holding the gift box, Miss Victoria placed it on her vanity table, her long eyelashes fluttering. Taking a deep breath, Miss Victoria carefully opened the gift box, feeling a small nervousness.

What would be inside the gift box?

The exquisite gift box was packed very securely, only opening after several layers, inside was a small bottle of liquid, with an instruction manual beside it.

When she saw the writing on it, Victoria froze for a moment before tears slowly slid down her face. Lying on the table, she stared at the small bottle of liquid, crying as she laughed.

It was completely different from what she imagined.

Life Source Liquid.

It was a high-end Genetic Evolution Liquid, most suitable for ordinary people. This small bottle of Life Source Liquid could probably buy the house she was currently renting.

Victoria did not use it but carefully put it away, planning to save it for her father.

Yet, such a precious gift, why did she feel a small sense of loss?
