The Seventh Base

Chapter 654: Chapter 66: Fame Spreads Far and Wide

Elizabeth was somewhat puzzled. Wasn’t it to train her?

As if she thought of something, Elizabeth showed a look of surprise. Since it wasn’t to train her, could it be that he wanted to let her see his true face? She had been looking forward to this day.

“Have you heard about the incident that happened today?” Xu Mo asked.

Elizabeth was taken aback and realized she had misunderstood.

“Yes, I’ve heard that there’s a big commotion outside,” Elizabeth said, as the scandal at Lucas University had become common knowledge.

“What do you think about this issue?” Xu Mo asked.

“Lucas University has been disappointing this time, but, considering the interests involved, the school’s choice isn’t surprising,” Elizabeth said. The stakes involving the Baloma Kingdom, Lucas University, and the Ministry of Defense were too high, and Lucas was doomed to be sacrificed.

Xu Mo nodded. It was good that Elizabeth could consider the angle of interests.

“From the perspective of benefits, what impact does this situation have on you?” Xu Mo asked.

“On me?” Elizabeth was puzzled.

“This partnership was initiated by the Ministry of Defense, Douglas was with Nilo at the time, and Douglas is whose man? Who will the Ministry of Defense support in the future,” Xu Mo said, prompting Elizabeth to fall silent.

Prince Charles was the first in line to the throne, and Douglas was very close to Prince Charles.

“If this matter hadn’t been exposed, we would not have stood a chance. If you had intervened, it would have been damaging the secrets of Lucas Star,” Xu Mo looked at Elizabeth and continued, “But now it’s different. The matter has been exposed and turned into a scandal of Lucas University, attracting national attention, and could even implicate the government and the Royal Family. If you step forward now, you can become a positive figure.”

“Me?” Elizabeth looked at Xu Mo, understanding his implication.

This was about building her profile.

“This is an opportunity, Elizabeth. What you need to do will require a tremendous effort, and public opinion is a crucial part of it. Otherwise, you have no advantage over Prince Charles since he is the first in succession. This incident is a rare opportunity for you,” Xu Mo said. “Moreover, you can also win over the hearts of the people at Lucas University and attract talent for your Blue Star Energy Technology Group.”

Elizabeth pondered, then looking at Xu Mo, she curtsied slightly and said, “I understand, thank you, sir.”

Elizabeth realized that the sir’s expertise seemed not only in combat. He also had a keen sense of politics, as if he understood everything.

“Elizabeth, tomorrow, you will become the idol of all students at Lucas University,” Xu Mo said. “I will take my leave now.”

With that, Xu Mo turned and left.

Elizabeth, watching his retreating figure, was startled and called out, “Sir!”

Xu Mo stopped in his tracks, only to hear Elizabeth ask, “When can I see you?”

“When the time comes, you will naturally see me,” Xu Mo finished and continued to walk away.

Watching Xu Mo’s receding figure, Elizabeth was speechless. Was the sir such a marvelous person, seeing an opportunity in this incident and appearing here to let her seize the opportunity?

Or perhaps, was it because the sir himself was very dissatisfied with the incident itself and thus wanted her to step forward?

Or was it both?

Who could the sir possibly be?

Looking across Lucas University, Elizabeth could not imagine anyone so outstanding.

…

The next day, the news was still fermenting.

In the early morning, many journalists flocked to the outside of Lucas University wanting to get the full story, but were blocked by the school’s personnel; Lucas University had locked down the campus.

The students of Lucas University were extremely dissatisfied, with many jointly protesting.

At this time, within the Lucas University campus, a procession marched impressively, led by Elizabeth dressed formally, exuding a noble air, followed by a number of guards.

This made the students look on with different expressions, for Miss Elizabeth rarely walked around the school with guards. What was she up to?

Many people were curious, and quite a few followed Elizabeth.

“Princess Elizabeth is going out.”

At this moment, some noticed Elizabeth heading towards the school exit and couldn’t help but follow.

Outside Lucas University, many people had gathered. The ancient and solemn gates were sealed, with loud arguments coming from the outside.

“I want to go out,” Elizabeth stepped forward, speaking to the crowd.

“Miss Elizabeth, it’s not very convenient right now, could you please choose another time?” a figure clad in Armor approached and said.

“Are you restricting my movement?” Elizabeth asked coldly. Her guards also took a step forward, the Energy Light surging on their Armor, making those blocking the way look embarrassed.

“Not at all,” the person bowed and said, “Princess Elizabeth, the school is in a particular situation. Could you please understand?”

Elizabeth walked directly forward without heeding him, and the person dared not stop her. With the guards clearing the way, the people who were blocking had no choice but to let Elizabeth pass.

As Elizabeth exited the school, the journalists outside swarmed towards her instantaneously.

“It’s Princess Elizabeth.”

“Princess Elizabeth, is the recent news about Nilo true?”

“Princess Elizabeth, what is your view on this matter? Does the collaboration between Lucas University and the Baloma Kingdom involve the Lucas Star Government?” a journalist boldly asked.
