Destiny Mission of game 'Star Ring'-Chapter 1504 - 1191: Cancellation (Second Update)

Gris smiled and said to Su Mo, "If I’m not mistaken, acquiring that Recruitment Order must have required pulling quite a few strings, right? In these times, anyone who can see our Legion Leader and get his help must have quite an extraordinary status and some exceptional connections, don’t you think? But if I’m not mistaken, the person who helped you, probably only showed their face and didn’t mean much by it."

Su Mo listened, looking bewildered, and said to Gris, "Really? Lady Goli went to see Third Legion Leader Ezaloga, and you mean she has to give a gift? Does a superior give gifts to a subordinate?"

"How is that possible, you asked Goli? Impossible, impossible, if Lady Goli asked, it couldn’t be like this."

Gris was suddenly shocked, full of incredulity, finding it too absurd.

"Why can’t it be? Nan Qi approached Goli, could it be that he didn’t?"

Su Mo suddenly caught on.

"So you turned to Nan Qi, now it makes sense."

Hearing Su Mo mention Nan Qi’s name, Gris suddenly realized.

"You mean?"

"It’s very likely that Nan Qi directly approached Legion Leader Ezaloga, and with his personality, he probably only showed his face."

Gris pondered a bit and analyzed most of it.

"That guy!"

Su Mo grimaced, cursing that old fox in his heart for setting him up again.

To think, whether Nan Qi or Goli approached, the favor owed is quite different.

"But you’re really impressive, getting Commander Nan Qi to help. That guy isn’t easy to deal with, did it cost you a lot?"

Gris changed his tone.

"Not really, I didn’t offer him any benefit, only called in a favor."

Su Mo shook his head and replied.

"How is that possible? What’s your relationship with him?"

Gris widened his eyes.

"Well, it’s hard to explain briefly. Oh, this is the search and rescue mission information, take a look."

Su Mo suddenly remembered, opened his bracelet to share the information with Gris.

Gris glanced at the mission information and then said to Su Mo, "The information here is incomplete. You need to contact the mission issuer for more detailed information. If possible, it’s best to acquire the distress beacon. With that, I can conduct an in-depth analysis."

"Truly professional!"

Su Mo gave Gris a thumbs up.

"There’s nothing to be proud of, I just explore some of the more dangerous areas, so I have relatively more experience."

Gris replied casually.

"Let’s have a drink!"

Su Mo nodded in agreement.

----------------------------------

Ten days later, the Grey Fin successfully entered the Revalclus Base.

Su Mo transferred to the Swift Wind and arrived at the interstellar airport, designated artificial meteorite 273.

He disembarked immediately and headed to the Federation’s special base here.

Ever since the Star Gate defense battle, the Federation’s finances relaxed, allowing them to purchase large amounts of land here, transforming it into a frontline supply base.

Moments later, Su Mo stood in front of an administrative building constructed with gray megaliths.

As he approached, he was stopped by the soldiers on guard.

However, the leading captain saw Su Mo in the Colonel uniform from Star Ring City and respectfully asked.

"Sir, may I ask what brings you here?"

"I accepted a mission issued by the Federation; I’d like to meet the mission issuer."

Su Mo replied simply, raising his electronic bracelet to show the mission to the captain.

The captain realized immediately.

"So you’re the one who accepted our mission, please follow me!"

The captain then led Su Mo inside.

Su Mo glanced around briefly, noticing many people coming and going, creating a lively atmosphere.

However, along the way, he didn’t recognize any familiar faces, only strangers. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

Soon, Su Mo was brought to an office.

"Sir, please enter."

"Alright!"

Su Mo walked in.

Inside the office sat an attractive female officer with trendy wavy hair, who beamed as Su Mo entered, saying.

"Hello, sir, I’m Captain Zhen Lu from the Federation. You’re the one who took on our commissioned mission, correct?"

"That’s right, time is of the essence; let’s get down to business and skip the small talk."

Su Mo wasn’t in the mood for chatter.

"Sir, please hold on; there’s been a change I need to inform you about."

"What change?"

Su Mo frowned.

"The mission is actually about to be canceled. We haven’t processed it yet, and you accepted it, causing some trouble. We apologize for that."

"Why cancel it?"

"Because the Freedom Fortress has been missing for too long, there’s no hope. The Federation has invested too much energy and manpower, suffering tremendous losses, so the council decided not to continue the project. But rest assured, you’ll receive compensation after the cancellation."

Zhen Lu said, smiling broadly.

Su Mo’s expression grew increasingly grim, taken aback by this unexpected outcome.

Just as he was about to say something, Zhen Lu suddenly stood, apologetically saying to Su Mo.

"Pardon me, sir, I have some matters to attend to. Please excuse me."

Zhen Lu finished speaking and abruptly left, giving Su Mo no chance to respond, clearly planning this from the start.

At this moment, the Swallower creator spoke to Su Mo in a deep voice.

"Interesting, you run back and forth, only for the mission to be canceled. What’s your next move?"

"Leave here first, and think of a plan."

Su Mo replied in a low voice.

...

Shortly after, Su Mo exited the building and stepped onto the street.

He stroked his chin, contemplating. The situation’s unexpected turn caught him off guard.

Now, he needed a reliable person for inquiries to clear things up.

Earlier, inside the Federation Building, Su Mo noticed something: the people he saw along the way were all unfamiliar, making it difficult to seek help.

Suddenly, Su Mo halted, glancing to his left and slightly behind.

Then he continued walking forward.

Behind him, an inconspicuous young man tailed him closely.

Su Mo deliberately turned into a relatively secluded alley; sure enough, the young man followed.

As soon as the youth arrived, Su Mo squared his shoulders, colliding with him.

Su Mo grabbed his collar, warily questioning him.

"Who are you? Why are you following me?"

The young man, slightly stunned, quickly explained, "You must be an official from Star Ring City; someone wants to see you."

"Who?"

"Come with me, and you’ll find out."

The young man replied.

Su Mo weighed his options and said, "Lead the way."

"This way..."
