False Court
Chapter 753 Nothing I Can Do
Augulas suddenly realized that such a large cut could only come from that batch of supplies.
“That’s right.”
Su Mo replied frankly.
Augulas reached out and slapped Su Mo heavily on the shoulder, revealing a hearty smile, "Haha, you really are something. Sure enough, you always bring surprises. If that's the case, then this money isn't much, and it's nothing to give you a little more."
"It should be."
"You little brat, acting innocent after taking advantage."
"How could I? This money isn't so easy to earn, you see?"
Su Mo tugged down his collar, revealing the shocking dark red negative energy contamination marks.
Augulas took a look, and his eyelids twitched violently, "That serious?"
"Of course, it's serious. I risked my life for it. This is all blood and sweat."
Su Mo said with a wry smile.
"You've really worked hard."
Augulas couldn't help but sigh.
"It wasn't hard. Once I get the money, I can rest. I'll have to trouble you, Lord Augulas, to help me get into the Federal Parliament Building."
Su Mo said with a smile.
"I'm afraid I can't help you with that."
Augulas replied with a smile.
"Ah? Lord Augulas, you're not kidding me, are you?"
"I'm not kidding you. I can't even get in myself now, let alone bring you in."
"How is that possible? That strict?"
"The newly appointed Speaker is a ruthless character. No one is willing to touch the things he stipulates, so I can't force my way in either."
Augulas said with some self-deprecating emotion.
In fact, Augulas was in a way considered to have lost the election to the new Speaker; otherwise, according to normal circumstances, the newly appointed Speaker would have been him.
Of course, although he lost the election, he also received some compensation, which left him without any resentment.
"This is troublesome. When will I be able to get in? If I get in too late, and the Federation doesn't have the money to pay me, that would be a big problem."
Su Mo was also very troubled. After all, the check was for such a large amount. He really couldn't rest easy until he got it.
"Haha, I can't take you in, but you can go in yourself, right?"
Augulas's words directly stunned Su Mo.
"Lord Augulas, don't joke with me. If I rashly approach, wouldn't the guarding soldiers shoot me with their weapons?"
Su Mo replied with a wry smile. This joke wasn't funny at all.
"You should have a badge, right? That badge is your best pass. Just hang it on your chest and go in. No one can stop you."
Augulas didn't beat around the bush and directly pointed it out to Su Mo.
"Are you sure there's no problem? That thing is so useful?"
Su Mo was a little unsure. If Long Ming were in charge, he would definitely be full of confidence, but now that someone else was in charge.
"Don't worry, that badge is always valid, unless you betray the Federation."
Augulas stopped and looked at his garden with emotion.
"Okay, I understand."
Su Mo secretly breathed a sigh of relief. After all that, it turned out that he could go in.
"But there's one thing I need to remind you. Be polite when you see the new Speaker, after all, you're there to get money."
"I'm here to get money, shouldn't I be the boss?"
"These days, the one who owes money is the boss. But don't worry, he won't dare to welch on your debt, it just depends on whether he'll give it to you happily."
Augulas said with a smile.
"That's fine."
Su Mo felt relieved when he heard Augulas say that.
"After thinking about it carefully, there's no need to be so worried. Under normal circumstances, he should treat you well, after all, he's still racking his brains about how to transport the supplies to the front lines. The batch of supplies you intercepted hasn't been sent to the front lines yet. The Imperial Army is staring at us like crazy right now."
Augulas said after thinking for a moment.
"Stop, cut it out, I can't help with that. I'm already exhausted, and if I go up again, I might die."
Su Mo shook his head like a rattle.
"Haha, that's right, you can't go up in this state. Actually, it doesn't matter if you can't fight, as long as you stand there, the Imperial Army will tremble."
"Lord Augulas, aren't you joking with me?"
"I'm not joking with you. You're now the number one enemy in the Empire. All the top experts are very afraid of you. They'll run away when they see you without absolute advantage. Of course, you have to be careful. The Imperial Army has been inquiring about your news. They still don't know who is piloting You Ji. Speaker Long Ming has done an excellent job in blocking the news. But once they find you, they will definitely try to eliminate you at all costs. You have to be careful."
Augulas directly revealed some inside information to Su Mo.
"Hehe, I knew this money wouldn't be easy to earn, the aftereffects are huge."
Su Mo's face twitched non-stop.
"Of course, you don't have to worry too much, the Federation is still here, and it will always be your backing."
Augulas assured Su Mo.
"Lord Augulas is right."
Su Mo complained in his heart, that's right, the Federation is his backing, but the problem is that they're the ones being attacked, not the Federation.
At this time, Augulas's butler came over, respectfully saluted Su Mo, and then said.
"Lord Augulas is ready."
"Stay here tonight. I'll just give you a welcome dinner. As for the things you want to do, don't worry. Tomorrow, I'll have the butler take you to the entrance, so you don't have to walk all the way there."
Augulas said with a smile.
"Uh, well, then I'll accept your kind invitation."
Su Mo could only grit his teeth and accept Augulas's banquet.

---------------------------------------------------------
The next morning.
A luxurious extended black flyer was driving smoothly towards the center of the City of Freedom.
The closer they got to the central area, the more patrolling and checking soldiers there were. Su Mo even saw them carrying agile mechanical dogs.
There were basically no idly strolling pedestrians on the streets in the central area, and almost every passing vehicle was stopped for inspection.
However, the car Su Mo was in was not stopped and went all the way smoothly.
Before long, Su Mo saw the new Parliament Building in the distance, which was very spectacular.
It was a giant white palace-shaped building, occupying a very large area, several times larger than the Parliament Building in the Imperial Capital.
From this, one could see the gap in financial resources.
As they approached, Augulas's butler stopped the car. He said respectfully to Su Mo, "Lord Su Mo, I can only take you here. You need to walk the rest of the way yourself. I wish you all the best."
"Thank you."
After Su Mo thanked him, he got out of the car.
