Chapter 1506: Chapter 1506 - 506: Grey Angel
Soon, only Su Ming and Long Bai were left in the office.
Long Bai turned his head to look at Su Ming and asked calmly.
"Su Ming, there’s something I want to ask you."
"Lord Long Bai, please go ahead!"
"How did you persuade Alicia to support me? What benefits did you promise her? Tell me about it."
"Actually, I didn’t promise her any benefits."
Su Ming replied inexplicably feeling a bit guilty.
"Are you sure? That woman isn’t the type to act without incentives. You didn’t give her anything, and she’d be so kind?"
Long Bai looked at Su Ming with a peculiar gaze.
"No, I really didn’t promise her anything. I just laid out the situation clearly. As long as she’s smart, she’d know what choice to make. As for what she said at the council, she was just joking."
Su Ming hurriedly explained to Long Bai.
"You don’t need to be so nervous, I’m just asking."
Long Bai said indifferently.
"Yes."
Su Ming replied somewhat awkwardly.
"You’ve worked hard in this election, go and get some rest first. Long Chen’s suggestion earlier was sharp, you might have to make a trip to Saint Joex later."
Long Bai instructed Su Ming.
"Alright!"
Su Ming nodded slightly and then turned to leave.
Long Bai watched Su Ming’s departing figure and also smiled.

The pitch-black starry sky.
In the central control room of the Void Eye Fortress.
Vice Clan Leader Pamie stood on a circular metal platform, with figures like Golden Giant God Kemovaniu and Sword Dragon Hamikas standing behind him.
At this moment, a virtual projection was being displayed on the platform, showing the scene of Long Bai taking over as Acting Council Chairman.
Vice Clan Leader Pamie watched the broadcast, while his electronic eyes flickered with peculiar light.
At this moment, Blade Hamikas angrily asked.
"Lord Pamie, what do we do now? Meifas has been captured."
"Things have changed, Dragon String Council President isn’t dead, and there’s no way to rescue for now."
Pamie replied in a low tone.
At this moment, Kemovaniu mocked as he spoke.
"I say, Pamie, aren’t you claimed to be the God of Technology? Your calculations are off, weren’t you sure Dragon String Council President was dead, but he’s not! Also, you said he was beneath the City Lord Mansion, yet he was on the Starshine Fortress. And your plan failed, costing so many lives, even Meifas got captured. If Dragon String wasn’t below the City Lord Mansion, I might have been lost there too! With so many mistakes, how will you account to the Clan Leader?"
"Shut up, that’s none of your concern. I’ll report to the Clan Leader myself."
Pamie retorted hoarsely.
"Fine, I want to see how you explain this."
Kemovaniu replied with a cold smile.

A few days later.
In the Xiguang Laboratory Training Area.
"Whew~"
On the gravity treadmill, Su Ming endured heavy gravity as he continued to run.
Celeste floated nearby, projecting a virtual image, yawning as she spoke.
"Su Ming, don’t you find exercising like this every day boring?"
"No, discipline brings a sense of fulfillment."
Su Ming replied steadily.
"Alright, I was actually hoping to go out for a stroll with you."
Celeste pouted as she replied.
Buzz buzz~
At this moment, Su Ming’s bracelet vibrated suddenly, and a message popped up.
Su Ming glanced at the message, then reached to stop the gravity treadmill and got off.
"What’s up?"
Celeste asked curiously.
"Council Chairman wants me to go to the office."
Su Ming briefly told Celeste and then hurried away.
....
Federation Administrative Building.
Su Ming headed towards the office.
"General!"
As he passed, soldiers saluted and greeted him.
"Mm."
Su Ming nodded slightly in response.
Soon he reached the office door, which was open.
Su Ming walked straight in and saw Yun Rou reporting to Long Bai.
"Lord Long Bai, the troops stationed at the Mist Star Sea were heavily damaged by the Dark Star Empire, with severe losses. Lord Mo Xiu requests to lead a team for support and follow-up."
"Approved."
Long Bai thought for a few seconds before agreeing.
Yun Rou was about to report the next matter when she suddenly noticed Su Ming entering, and thus paused.
Long Bai glanced at Su Ming and then said to Yun Rou.
"Yun Rou, you may leave first."
"Yes!"
Yun Rou respectfully exited and closed the office door.
"Lord Long Bai."
Su Ming greeted Long Bai.
Long Bai slowly stood from his chair and said calmly to Su Ming.
"Su Ming, I’ve already approved your military achievements."
As Long Bai finished speaking.
Buzz buzz!
Su Ming’s bracelet continued to vibrate, with messages popping out one after another.
