Destiny Mission of game 'Star Ring'

"Yeah, Father, Uncle is really overstepping. He has to have a say in everything. You can't blame Second Brother entirely. Uncle only somewhat fears you and Brother Lin Ming, but he doesn't take anyone else seriously at all."

Lin Yuxin and the others remarked one after another.

Qian Chengxue also tried to ease him: "Father, calm down."

Lin Yaotian's expression was tense and increasingly cold; Lin Zhou had indeed angered him this time.

All these years, he had been busy strengthening the Lin Family's direct forces and hadn't managed internal affairs much, but he hadn't expected his courage to grow this much.

Lin Hai and the others saw that Lin Yaotian's expression was growing colder, and they stood there obediently, not daring to make a sound.

"Good morning? Uh? Oh, everyone is here?"

At this moment, Su Mo yawned as he walked over, and was instantly bewildered by the scene. Especially when he saw Lin Yaotian, he shivered all over and immediately woke up.

Lin Yaotian saw the suddenly appearing Su Mo and said coldly: "Take care of your own affairs."

After speaking, Lin Yaotian got up and left.

Lin Hai and the others immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing Lin Yaotian leave, Su Mo forced a smile and awkwardly asked, "Did I say something wrong?"

He felt the atmosphere was a bit off and wondered if Lin Yaotian didn't want to see him; why else would he leave as soon as he saw him?

"No, not at all."

Qian Chengxue laughed lightly and said to Su Mo.

Lin Hai and the others chimed in: "Father is just that kind of person, don't take it to heart."

In fact, Lin Hai was quite envious of Su Mo; from Father's earlier reaction, he knew that Lin Yaotian did recognize Su Mo.

He had only seen such recognition in Lin Ming, otherwise, if someone else had appeared out of nowhere.

They would definitely have been scolded harshly.

"Uh, okay then."

Su Mo, though a bit puzzled, scratched his head and didn't say much.

"Su Mo, you probably haven't had breakfast yet, have you? Join us."

Lin Hai invited Su Mo.

"Sure."

Su Mo didn't refuse.

Soon after, they arrived at the dining room, where the butler had already prepared a sumptuous breakfast.

Su Mo and the others then took their seats and began to eat.

During the entire meal, no one spoke. Only the sound of cutlery could be heard, and everyone seemed to have their minds elsewhere.

Su Mo felt it inappropriate to ask more questions, so he just focused on eating.

Soon after breakfast, Qian Chengxue said to Su Mo, "Su Mo, I have to go to the factory to handle some matters later. You can take a stroll, and I'll find you when I'm done."

"Alright, don't worry about me, I'll just roam around."

Su Mo knew Qian Chengxue was busy, and he couldn't be of much help, so he decided not to disturb her.

"Okay."

Qian Chengxue nodded in agreement.

...

A long time after, Su Mo was walking alone on the streets inside the high walls.

On the street, many couples with children were walking past, laughing and talking.

Compared to the fast pace outside, life inside the high walls seemed leisurely, and many people were out enjoying themselves.

Su Mo arrived at the Central Square and found an empty bench to sit on.

Several white pigeons flew up to Su Mo, seemingly searching for food, but unfortunately, Su Mo didn't have anything edible with him.

He leaned back on the bench and gazed forward.

On the square, many children were playing and chasing each other, and in the forefront stood a tall building that was displaying a holographic advertisement.

The stars endorsing the advertisement were each more glamorous than the last.

Since entering the Interstellar Era, with advanced cosmetics and genetic optimization, there had been a batch after batch of extremely good-looking celebrities, and the entire entertainment industry was thriving and flourishing.

Sadly, Su Mo wasn't involved in that circle and didn't pay much attention to it.

At that moment, the holographic advertisement switched to the latest news broadcast.

The news was announcing the latest updates.

"Latest announcement: The Council has completed the latest adjustments. The new Council President will bring 120 billion Star Coins to revitalize the Federation, bringing new energy to it. The future belongs to us....."

"The replacement has begun? Wait, why does it only mention a replacement, but not who the new Council President is?"

Su Mo was slightly taken aback at this scene and mumbled to himself.

Thinking about this, Su Mo picked up his phone to search but found that there was no information online regarding this.

Meaning no one knew who had been appointed as the Council President yet.

It was still in the confidential stage.

Su Mo pondered for a while; it should be for a more secure private transition. But wait, if he didn't miss it, the news seemed to mention that the new Council President was bringing 120 billion? So wealthy? Then wouldn't he be able to cash that check of his."

Upon realizing this, Su Mo's eyes grew increasingly intense, and he quickly got up to go back to the Lin Family to retrieve the document.

After all, such matters are best dealt with early; waiting until the evening might be too late.

Soon after, Su Mo hurriedly arrived outside the Administrative Council Building with the document.

He skillfully passed through layers of security and entered the building excitedly.

However, the moment Su Mo stepped into the building, he was instantly dumbfounded. All he saw were workers moving things out, and what used to be a lively hall was now empty, with only a few staff members scattered around.

"This?"

Su Mo was stunned, almost thinking the place had been looted.

Just then, a woman in a work uniform walked past.

Su Mo quickly stopped her to ask: "Hello, can I ask what happened to the Parliament Building? Is it under renovation?"

The woman looked at Su Mo with some curiosity, then spoke: "Haven't you received a notice or seen the news? The Federation's administrative center has already moved to Freedom City in District M, and most of the staff have gone there."

After hearing this, Su Mo was extremely frustrated; such a flashy maneuver?

So does this mean that whenever another district is elected, they'll move again? But it makes sense; if it were me, I'd do the same!

"Excuse me, is Council President Long Ming still here?"

Amid his shock, Su Mo asked.

"He should not be here. After the Parliament Building was moved, Council President Long Ming hasn't come by. I'm sorry, I have some matters to attend to, so I'll take my leave."

The female staff member, upon hearing Su Mo mention Council President Long Ming, instantly became more courteous in her tone.

"Alright."

Su Mo replied gratefully.

After the female staff member left, Su Mo stood there hesitantly.

He figured, Council President Long Ming was probably taking some time off.

The transition, though mainly due to his health issues, which had become somewhat burdensome, was also, to some degree, a push for retirement, since he affected many people's interests during his tenure.

Su Mo understood this too.

Forget it, it's best not to disturb Council President Long Ming.

...

Late at night at the Lin Family's, Su Mo sat alone in the living room watching TV.

He was almost dozing off when he heard the sound of tired footsteps approaching.

Turning his head, Su Mo saw Qian Chengxue dragging her exhausted body as she returned.

"You're back."

Su Mo stood up to greet her.
