So he must immediately go to the hangar, enter his mecha, and stand by. As soon as there’s any sign of trouble, he must take action.
Anason saw Su Mo and his group in a standoff, and he quickly turned around to go back into the room, closing the door behind him.
Su Mo and his group of five sat in chairs, staring at each other.
No one was willing to back down.
Time kept slipping away, and soon it was late at night. Yet Su Mo and his group were still there, with none getting up to leave and rest.
Even the food had been replaced completely by nutrition bars, just to simplify things.
It was clear they were determined to drag this out to the very end.
At this moment, the ward door opened, and an elderly doctor with white hair, wearing protective gear, walked out.
Kathuler immediately stood up and asked, "Dr. Rohar, how is the Lord’s condition?"
"Dr. Rohar, has the Lord woken up?"
.....
Coret and the others asked gravely.
Even Su Mo hurriedly stood up and inquired, "How is my master’s condition?"
Rohar showed a trace of bitterness, sighed slightly, and shook his head as he replied.
"The Lord’s condition is very bleak. His internal organs are severely polluted, highly deformed, and mutated. Plus, a lot of old injuries have flared up due to prolonged fatigue, leaving his body in worse shape..."
Upon hearing this, Coret’s eyes flashed with a glint.
"What did you say?"
Kathuler, enraged, grabbed Rohar’s sleeve and roared.
"Kathuler, stop! What do you want to do? Dr. Rohar is the most trusted doctor of the Lord. If you injure him, who will treat the Lord?"
Coret directly reached out, holding Kathuler’s wrist and reprimanding him.
Kathuler reluctantly let go, and then he warned Rohar, "I don’t care what means you use, just cure the Lord, or else you’ll be in big trouble."
"Yes, yes...."
Rohar replied fearfully and then hurriedly turned and left.
Su Mo watched this scene, his expression growing gloomier. It was obvious that the old man’s health had severely deteriorated.
He felt quite helpless too, as both Xiao Shi and the old man were in trouble at critical moments.
It’s true what they say; misfortunes never come singly!
But the more dire the situation became, the calmer Su Mo got. He sat back in his chair, calmly waiting.
As long as he was there watching Coret and the others, those guys wouldn’t be able to stir up trouble.
Kathuler and the others were also quite patient, and they sat down as well.
Coret swept his gloomy eyes over Su Mo and others, then steadily sat down. To be honest, he was the strongest among those present, which gave him an advantage.
But Coret was well aware that his strength was not yet enough to crush everyone else. Especially Su Mo, who was extremely formidable.
If he wanted to win, he must obtain the old man’s permission, so he could rightfully inherit the estate.
And the key step to this was holding the old man firmly in his grasp.
Thus, a day, two days, three days passed with time continuously slipping away.
In a blink, twelve days had gone by.
Su Mo and the others still sat there, staring at each other, while Sun Duoxiang sat beside them, nodding off, his head drooping slightly.
Sun Duoxiang suddenly jerked awake.
He patted his face to stay awake, then looked at Su Mo.
Sun Duoxiang saw that Su Mo sat in his chair with eyes still fixed on Coret and the others, showing no sign of sleepiness.
He felt deep admiration from the bottom of his heart; the boss was indeed remarkable.
Not a wink of sleep in twelve days, not a hint of drowsiness. And these guys were also pretty ruthless, just hanging on.
No one showed any intent to compromise, clearly aiming to outlast each other.
At this moment, the sound of footsteps broke the silence, as a Catastrophe Shadow operator who looked like a skinny monkey hurried over.
"Stop!"
Coret immediately called out.
"Lord Coret."
The operator swallowed his saliva and responded respectfully.
"What is it, Derim?"
"Well, we’re about to enter the Zero Star Domain. But once we’re inside, how should we proceed? The routes were always issued by the Lord, so I came to find out how the Lord is doing."
"The Lord is still unconscious, and no one can enter."
Coret seemed to be addressing his subordinate but was really speaking to Su Mo and the others.
Unfortunately, Su Mo and his group paid him no heed.
"Then, what should we do now."
Derim was a bit at a loss.
Su Mo turned to Derim and said, "Since we don’t know the destination, slow down and preserve the ship’s logs. We’ll decide once my master wakes up."
"Um."
After listening to Su Mo, Derim looked at Coret and the others.
Seeing this, Su Mo’s heart sank. Clearly, the old man’s subordinates did not respect him.
"What are you looking at? Just do it and stop bothering us."
Kathuler impatiently raised his hand with a wave.
"Yes, yes!"
Derim hurriedly backed away fearfully.
At this moment, Attic sarcastically remarked, "Some people just don’t realize their status, thinking they’re somebody. These immature ones just want to seize the fruits later."
Sun Duoxiang was enraged by Attic’s mockery of Su Mo, ready to explode, but he was restrained by Su Mo.
"Boss...."
Sun Duoxiang protested.
"Quiet."
Su Mo said calmly, then continued waiting without expression.
Though Sun Duoxiang was unwilling, he had no choice but to endure it.
Attic looked at this scene with increasing triumph on his face.
The truth is, it’s not that Su Mo doesn’t want to retaliate; he just doesn’t want to disrupt the current balance.
These guys are each formidable, and with Xiao Shi absent, he really can’t take them all down. Plus, a battle within the Catastrophe Shadow wouldn’t be sensible.
They’re all on the same ship, after all. If a fight breaks out damaging the ship, wouldn’t that be hilarious?
So the best approach now is to maintain balance and stalemate, hoping the old man wakes up soon.
....
In the pitch-black cosmic space, the Ancient Legendary Star Destroyer, Catastrophe Shadow, slowed its pace, continuing its voyage.
All around, meteors kept sweeping past.
Inside the command room, subordinates responsible for operations looked at the optical image and began comparing it to the star map.
"We’ve entered the Zero Star Domain."
"Doesn’t seem particularly special. Wasn’t there supposed to be a barrier passage that’s hard to traverse?"
"You mean that red glow before?"
"Maybe, but did we encounter any resistance passing through?"
"Seems like no, we just came through exceptionally smoothly."
"We haven’t gone the wrong way, have we?"
"Probably not."
