Destiny Mission of game 'Star Ring'

As Su Mo approached the crowd, he overheard some officials discussing.

"Hey, when will we be able to see Lord Augustus? I've been waiting here for several days."

"What's that? I've been waiting for almost a week."

"No matter what, we have to keep waiting. The personnel changes this time are too drastic. I'm almost being marginalized."

"It's the same for everyone. Who knew it would turn out like this? I've heard that those powerful groups are all going to rise."

"Isn't that normal? After all, they've donated a large amount of political contributions. They're bound to reap rewards. If only I'd known, I would have donated some too."

"Stop dreaming. The threshold is very high. It's not like you can donate just because you want to. Not to mention, right now you can't even get close to the Federation Council Building. Where are you going to find connections? By the time it lifts, it'll be too late."

"Ah, still try to hold onto Lord Augustus's coattails. No matter what, a starving camel is bigger than a horse."

"Makes sense."

...

Listening to their conversation, Su Mo was shocked. As expected of the Council President who was promoted in Zone M, truly impressive!

Openly accepting donations, no wonder they're so wealthy.

Su Mo wanted to find a gatekeeper to announce his presence, but realized there wasn't even a gatekeeper outside Augustus's mansion, only rows of surveillance cameras. Helplessly, he could only ask the people waiting nearby.

"Brothers, pardon me, how can I meet Lord Augustus, do I need to report in or something?"

"Which department are you from?"

"I'm from the Military Department, retired personnel, just wanted to meet Lord Augustus."

Su Mo scratched his head and replied.

"Oh, retired personnel, want to engage a little to see if you can get a position eh? I'd advise you to give up, we employed folks are still in line, Lord Augustus definitely won't see you."

"Exactly, have some self-awareness."

...

The people present urged Su Mo to go back, after all, fewer people mean less competition, persuading him away was definitely right.

Su Mo also wore a blank expression, unsure of how to explain to this bunch.

Just then, the tightly shut door opened, and security soldiers emerged from the mansion, dispersing the crowd to both sides.

"Make way!"

Su Mo was shoved to one side along with everyone else.

At this moment, luxurious black floatcars slowly drove from the distant street.

Su Mo immediately saw Augustus seated in the center of the limousine, his face tense, not even glancing out the window.

"Lord Augustus, over here!"

Seeing the window wasn't up, Su Mo saw a chance and shouted, waving continuously.

"Brother, stop shouting, it's useless!"

"You're just like a clown with that, useless, Lord Augustus definitely won't pay attention to you."

...

The waiting people nearby, seeing Su Mo shouting so loudly, all urged him.

Inside the car, Augustus heard Su Mo's shouting, and was slightly startled. Why does this voice sound familiar? He instinctively turned his head towards the window. Immediately, he saw Su Mo waving, his stern old face showing a shocked expression.

"Su Mo? Stop the car!"

The driving butler was also stunned, but immediately stopped the car.

Suddenly, the convoy halted at the entrance.

"What's wrong with Lord Augustus?"

The butler asked puzzled.

Augustus didn't answer the butler but directly opened the car door and stepped out.

In an instant, the people squeezed to both sides gaped wide, what's going on?

"Let me through."

Su Mo quickly tried to get through but was held back by security personnel.

"Let him through."

Augustus said in a deep voice to the security blocking Su Mo.

The security personnel promptly loosened, letting Su Mo in.

Everyone else was staring wide-eyed, especially those who had previously conversed with Su Mo, each showing a look of regret, feeling utterly defeated!

If they'd known this guy could see Lord Augustus, they would've fawned over him.

Turning his head, Augustus said to the butler, "Disperse the people, and cancel all appointments today."

The butler following behind Augustus also showed a tremendously surprised look in his eyes. He was very curious about who this young man was, to be so valued by Lord Augustus, though smart enough not to ask further.

"Yes, Lord Augustus."

After Augustus instructed, he directly led Su Mo into the manor.

Feeling pretty good, he said, "Haven't seen you for so many years, didn't expect you'd come to Zone M, and even visit me."

"Lord Augustus, come on, isn't it normal for me to visit you? After all, back on the Black Brilliance, you took quite good care of me."

Su Mo modestly replied.

"Haha, hardly took care, proper care came more from Spade and Li Ruiqi, I merely appreciated you. But it's also thanks to you that this old bag of bones could safely return to Earth Star. I should be thanking you."

"Lord Augustus, you're flattering me."

Su Mo awkwardly responded.

"By the way, why did you come to see me? Don't tell me you're just passing by; everyone who comes has something."

Augustus, very perceptive, instantly saw Su Mo definitely came for something.

"I do have a little matter, hoping to get your help, Lord Augustus."

Su Mo wasn't hiding anything.

"Go ahead, although I've retired, my words still carry weight in Zone M."

Augustus confidently said.

"It's like this, I want to get into the Federation Council Building, but can't get close, so I hoped you could help, Lord Augustus."

Su Mo casually said.

Augustus hearing, showed a puzzled look, stared at Su Mo and said, "What are you going there for? It's under strict no-entry right now?"

"Collecting debts?"

Su Mo naturally replied.

"What debts?"

Augustus was slightly confused.

Su Mo smiled and handed the document to Augustus.

"It's this."

Augustus eagerly took it, and upon seeing the amount, his eyes widened hugely, even his usually calm face was momentarily moved.

"So much money, what's Long Ming up to? Are they trying to bankrupt the Federation? How is this profit-sharing agreement so high?"

Seeing Augustus react so intensely, Su Mo was puzzled.

"Lord Augustus, shouldn't you have known about this?"

"How could I know?"

Augustus replied with a twitching face.

"But hold on, your signature is on there, how could you not know?"

Su Mo grew more confused.
