The Seventh Base - Chapter 1064: 123: Matthew

Chapter 1064: Chapter 123: Matthew

Heath O’Brien stepped forward, arriving beside the battlefield, and shouted, “Lowell.”

Lowell also noticed the group from the republic. He and Hudson ceased their fight, and with a flash, appeared here, calling out, “Mr. Heiss.”

As the son of the Governor of Chloe Star, Lowell didn’t need to get too close to Heath O’Brien, but he couldn’t disregard him either.

“Is this a trial?” Heath O’Brien asked.

“Yes,” Lowell nodded. “The Empire Trial Field should open in the coming days. There’s nowhere else to go, so I’m engaging the monsters in trial here, waiting for the Empire Trial Field to open.”

“Where’s Xu Mo?” Heath O’Brien asked. “Why haven’t I seen him?”

“Senior Xu Mo is cultivating ahead,” Lowell replied.

“Let’s go over and see. I happen to have some matters to discuss with him,” Heath O’Brien said, and the group moved forward, Heath O’Brien and Lowell walking together. He casually asked, “I saw you fighting with the monster, your combat power is much stronger than before. You must have made a significant progress these past three years.”

“Yes,” Lowell nodded. “I’ve made decent progress; these three years have not been in vain.”

He didn’t have high demands. To expect the same as Lin Jian or Delon was clearly unrealistic.

“Have you been continuously with Xu Mo these past three years?” Heath O’Brien asked. Previously, this group seemed to have split up for a time when Xu Mo seized positions, leaving only him and Zero; Augustus and the others arrived later.

“Earlier, we were chased together by the Kales Empire people. After some cultivation, we split up. I went to the Centimeter Light Speed opportunity site to cultivate,” Lowell didn’t detail too much.

“Xu Mo progressed tremendously over these three years, alone shaking the transcendent power of the Kales Empire. He must have had considerable opportunities these three years. Where did you go cultivating when you were together? How many of the seven opportunity sites did you visit?” Heath O’Brien continued to ask.

“The Empire Trial Field is vast. With Senior Xu Mo, our group went to many places. By chance, we got the Desert Beast, then went to the Mo Mountain Axe opportunity site, mainly because Augustus was cultivating there. After that, we went to several trial grounds, ocean, glacier, we’ve been to all,” Lowell was somewhat cautious.

This Heath O’Brien kept asking about Senior Xu Mo’s situation, as if probing something.

Hudson beside also keenly sensed it, wondering what the son of the Republic Leader was thinking?

“Xu Mo indeed is outstandingly talented. Proto also said that among the Mystic God Temple’s absolute transcendent powers, Xu Mo might be the most exceptional one, with huge potential. After three years of cultivation, he completed a transformation. At the final moment, did he have any insights while cultivating on the Energy Stone Pillar?” Heath O’Brien said.

“That I don’t know, you’d have to ask Senior Xu Mo himself,” Lowell didn’t directly answer, directing Heath O’Brien to ask Xu Mo himself rather than trying to extract information from him.

He felt somewhat odd. What exactly does Heath O’Brien want to know?

Xu Mo’s insights on the Energy Stone Pillar, whatever the opportunity, are personal to him. It’s not suitable to probe about it, right?

“Hmm, I’ll ask him later.” Heath O’Brien said no more, and the group continued forward. Not long after, they saw Xu Mo sitting cross-legged in one area, with Zero beside him, and Augustus not far away.

With the Empire Trial Field’s final moments approaching, there’s no time to look for opportunities. One can only pass the time with cultivation, awaiting peacefully to leave this perilous place.

Xu Mo was the one most eager to leave, having taken the Desert Beast, ‘stolen’ Qiong’s Gold, and Zero had obtained the Book of Enlightenment.

The longer they stayed, the risk increased. Better to leave early.

At this time, Xu Mo stopped his cultivation, turning his gaze towards the approaching group.

He stood up and went to greet them.

“Xu Mo,” Heath O’Brien spoke with a smile, feeling discontent with Xu Mo inside, but outwardly maintaining a bright smile like old friends.

“Mr. Heiss,” Xu Mo called.

“Xu Mo, no need to be so formal, just call me by name directly,” Heath O’Brien said friendly.

Xu Mo remained calm and indifferent, but internally he was always wary of the other, based on his understanding of Heath O’Brien. Though young in age, this person loved to play political games and manipulate others.

However, his methods were somewhat immature, at least to someone experienced like him, Heath O’Brien was still inexperienced, and his tactics for winning over people’s hearts felt insincere.

Evidently, the acting wasn’t up to par.

“Mr. Heiss, did you find the ancient book?” Xu Mo didn’t follow the other’s words. The republic lacks prince or princess titles, so calling him ‘Young Master’ counts as respect, Xu Mo continued to use this address to maintain distance.

Heath O’Brien’s eyes flickered with an unusual color, but it was only for an instant, then he smiled and shook his head, “No, nobody admits to it. The ancient book from the Holy Land Gate seems to have vanished into thin air. However, suspicion still lingers most heavily on the Lin people, especially Lin Jian, since it was an ancient book left by the Old Imperial Family.”

Xu Mo quietly nodded. The Lin family, being descendants of the Old Imperial Family, should naturally be the most suspect. If not for Zero, they indeed would’ve been the most likely to obtain the Book of Enlightenment.
