Chapter 8 - Making friends



Chapter 8 - Making friends



It was already twelve noon when Luo Fei and Emil arrived. The banquet was about to start soon, so the invited guests were brought into the formal banquet hall.


The scale of Mo’s banquet hall is almost comparable to that of a seven-star hotel in Capital Star. The suspended ceiling of over ten meters high makes the hall look very spacious and magnificent. Many expensive murals hung on the walls, and the crystal chandelier on the roof shone brightly over the marble floor.


The guests gathered together in twos and threes to chat, and it wasn’t until a group of people appeared on the second floor that the hall fell silent instantly.


On the second floor of the hall, surrounded by bodyguards, a gray-haired old man walked in the middle with a cane, followed by a middle-aged man in a formal suit. Behind them was a young woman in a bright red evening dress, and a teenager in a white tuxedo.


The gray-haired old man is obviously the protagonist of today’s birthday party. And the middle-aged man who was supporting him beside him is Mo Qiming, the current president of Fengyang Group.


Mo Qiming glanced across the audience and said with a smile: “Ladies and gentlemen, good noon. Today is my father’s 100th birthday. First of all, on behalf of the younger generations of the Mo family, I wish him a happy birthday and good health. I’d also like to take this opportunity to express my sincerest thanks to all the guests present – thank you for taking time out of your busy schedules to attend today’s birthday banquet…”


Although they were some formal greetings, the moment he opened his mouth, everyone in the audience consciously fell silent. It was so quiet that only his deep voice could be heard, echoing throughout the banquet hall. He carried a powerful aura, commanding confidence, showing his success as a business giant.


Luo Fei looked behind him, couldn’t help being slightly shocked when he saw a pair of familiar eyes unexpectedly.


— He has a deep impression of these eyes.


He saw this pair of eyes on the spaceship before. Clear pupils bright as stars, with slightly raised corners, showing a little pride. Like the most precious gems displayed in a shop, people dare not touch them and can only admire them from a distance.


At that time, the other party was wearing a mask so he couldn’t see his face clearly.


But now, Luo Fei found that this face was even more beautiful than he imagined.


The Creator really favored him too much. His facial features are exquisite, his eyebrows are picturesque, and his high nose and slightly raised lips added a touch of handsomeness to his face. His eyes were calm and unwavering as he followed behind his father. Although he was not as calm and sophisticated as his father, he made everyone present not dare to underestimate him.


Standing at the top of the stairs, his legs seemed to be deliberately elongated, slender and straight, to anyone looking up. Perhaps not even the legs of many well-known models were as good-looking as him.


He should be an alpha, right? Luo Fei could feel the faint alpha aura on his body, but the strange thing was that this aura was not very oppressive to other alphas. Instead, it was very gentle, making it difficult for people to feel disgusted with him.


Different from most alphas full of muscles, his figure is leaner and slender, and looks like a handsome nobleman.



After Mo Qiming finished speaking, the applause in the hall brought Luo Fei back to the present.


Luo Fei looked back and found that the people from the Mo family had walked into the crowd.


As the person celebrating his 100th birthday today, Mr. Mo was in good spirits as he greeted familiar faces with a smile while leaning on a cane. Mo Qiming is obviously a dutiful son, staying by his side to support his father the entire time. The two people behind Mo Qiming, the woman in the red skirt and the youth in the tuxedo, followed behind, chatting with the bigwigs in the business world.


Luo Fei leaned close to Emil’s ear and asked, “Is he Mo Han?”


Emil nodded: “Yes, that’s him.”


Luo Fei said, “Who is that girl next to him?”


Emil said: “That’s Mo Han’s cousin. It is said that they grew up together, and have a good relationship.”


Luo Fei looked up and saw that this cousin was also very beautiful, but she was not as weak as an ordinary omega. On the contrary, her smile was very confident.


Just as he was thinking, Emil suddenly poked his arm and said, “Mr. Mo is here, let’s go say hello.”


Luo Fei nodded, and then two grabbed the red wine and walked to Mr. Mo.


Emil raised his glass respectfully: “Mr. Mo, I wish you a happy birthday!”


Mr. Mo did not know him, so Mo Qiming did the introductions: “This is the youngest son of Mr. David and Princess Xiya, Emil.”


Emil said: “My father is in the Cigar Galaxy, and can’t come back yet, so he let me come to congratulate you instead. I heard that Mr. Mo likes red wine very much, so I brought a box of red wine I brewed myself for you to try.”


Mr. Mo immediately narrowed his eyes with a smile: “That’s very thoughtful of you! Go back and say hello to your parents for me, and let your mother take good care of her health.”


Emil said: “I will let them know.”


After exchanging a few polite greetings, Mo Qiming turned to the young man with an extraordinary temperament beside Emil, and asked in a low voice, “Who is this?”


Luo Fei said respectfully: “Hello, Mr. Mo, I am Emil’s personal assistant. I’m here to accompany the young master to attend today’s birthday banquet.”


Emil: “…”


Mo Qiming looked at him, feeling puzzled.


Personal assistant? A small assistant shouldn’t have such a unique temperament. Besides, standing side by side, it seems that his aura is stronger than Emil’s? Maybe he has some special status that’s hard to say outright, and being an assistant is just a cover?


Mo Qiming smiled, and said, “I’m going to talk to some old friends over there, please help yourself.”


After he finished speaking, he helped Mr. Mo to turn around and leave. Mo Han nodded to Emil, and was about to leave with his father when Luo Fei stepped forward and stood in front of Mo Han with a smile. “I didn’t expect to see you here, coding whiz.”


“…” Mo Han raised his eyebrows and looked at the other party.


Luo Fei stretched out his hand and said, “Let’s make friends.”


Mo Han didn’t respond.


Luo Fei’s hand remained in front of the other party, as he said: “When I said this last time, your answer was no, because we wouldn’t have a chance to meet again. But now, we’ve met again.” Smiling at Mo Han, he asked once more, “So, let’s be friends. I don’t want to be rejected a second time.”


Mo Han: “…”


His gentle eyes were very deep, with a smile in them, as if to say: Don’t pretend, I’ve recognized you.


Mo Han glanced at Emil and asked, “Senior, is he really your personal assistant?”


Emil immediately replied: “That’s right, he was recruited by my father some time ago.”


Mo Han asked, “What’s your name?”


Before Emil could speak, Luo Fei smiled and said, “My name is Alan. Last time I went on a business trip to Capital Star, and happened to meet you on the spaceship back to Lyra. At that time, you were wearing a mask and couldn’t see your face clearly, but I was impressed by your eyes and voice, which is why I asked Emil to introduce us. I wonder if I have the honor to be friends with you?”


Mo Han looked at him calmly, and found that there was nothing wrong with his expression.


After a while, Mo Han smiled slightly, stretched out his hand to shake his, and said, “Hello.”


His words are very clear, and there was no need to deny if his eyes and voice have already been recognized.


However, his identity as Emil’s personal assistant, Mo Han didn’t believe it.


His eyes were frank, not showing the slightest bit of anxiety at this banquet full of business giants. Instead, he was calm and collected, a little too calm.


Mr. David finding an assistant for Emil should be to let his youngest son get familiar with the company’s business in advance. Generally speaking, these assistants tend to be older, have certain qualifications in the company, and are very familiar with the business. And the person in front of him, although he looks quite stable, he only seems to be about twenty years old. In addition, Emil is a little too very respectful towards him. Saying that he’s an assistant? Probably only people who don’t like to use their brains will believe him.


Mo Han withdrew his hand calmly, and then said: “As far as I know, the company of senior Emil’s family has very strict requirements for recruiting assistants. Only high-achieving students who’ve graduated from prestigious schools are eligible to be interviewed. Given this, are you also a top student?”


On the surface, it sounds like a polite inquiry for the sake of small talk, but Luo Fei was keenly aware that Mo Han has become suspicious.


He used a random name just now, not expecting Mo Han to ask such detailed questions.


He immediately commanded Chongming with his mental strength: “Search the name “Alan” in the database of the entire empire, and screen out the students who graduated from prestigious schools.”


With a population of several billion in the empire, duplicate names are naturally extremely common, not to mention a popular name like “Alan”.


Chongming’s search speed was extremely fast, and he immediately screened out a group of graduates from prestigious schools named “Alan”. Cleverly ranking those who looked a little like master, it finally locked on the closest target: “Master, there is a graduate of Hermann University in Agricultural Science and Engineering, named Alan, whose eyebrows and nose looks a bit like yours.”


Receiving the details, Luo Fei said to Mo Han with a smile on his face, “I graduated from Hermann University with a major in Agricultural Science and Engineering. In this way, I can also be considered your alumni.”


Chongming: “…”


Master’s resilience is really top notch. However, this S-class smart mech also takes credit!


Hearing this answer, Mo Han was a little puzzled: “But you don’t seem much older than me?”


Luo Fei explained: “My face looks relatively young, but in fact, I’m three years older than Emil.”


Emil: “…”


Keep lying! I’m the one three years older than you!


Seeing Mo Han look over, Emil immediately smiled, and smoothed things over for Luo Fei: “That’s right, Alan is my senior. He was also a top student when he was in school, so my father asked him to be my personal assistant. He’s my assistant by name, but in fact, my father wants me to learn more from him.”


Mo Han looked up at Luo Fei, with a half-smile: “Senior?”


Luo Fei, who took advantage1of being called senior, immediately nodded with a smile: “En, hello, junior. To be able to meet twice in a row shows that our friendship is destined.”


Mo Han looked away and said, “You two eat something casually first. We can chat later.”


Luo Fei still had a smile on his face: “Okay, we’ll let you go.”


It wasn’t until Mo Han left that Emil breathed a sigh of relief, leaned over and asked softly, “Your made-up identity, will Mo Han believe it?”


Luo Fei rubbed his chin, and said: “He should, right? After all, I asked Chongming to search for information. There is indeed a man named Alan at Hermann University, who is a graduate of agricultural science and engineering. If Mo Han doesn’t believe me, and checks Alan’s name, the information he finds won’t differ much from what I said.”


Emil gave a thumbs up in admiration. “With Chongming you really have the database of the entire empire with you!”


Looking at Mo Han’s back not far away, Luo Fei said softly, “I don’t want to deliberately lie to him, but it’s not convenient for him to know my identity for the time being.”


***


Mo Han followed his father and greeted the guests at the banquet for a while, then turned and walked into the lounge next to the banquet hall.


As soon as he entered the lounge and closed the door, Mo Han immediately called out his intelligence system, Noah.


“Help me connect to the airline’s internal network, and check the passenger list of the spaceship departing from the Capital Star to the Lyra galaxy on December 21. Then check the appearance of the person just now, and find him for me.”


“Okay master.” Noah asked while searching quickly. “Don’t you need to check Alan’s information?”


“No need.” Mo Han replied. “Alan should be his made-up name. Check the flight directly. Purchasing spaceship tickets requires real names. I want to know his real identity.”


“Understood!” Noah began to work seriously.


After a while, the search was completed, and a person’s image was enlarged on the holographic screen.


The youth in the picture had just passed the interstellar security checkpoint and queued up to board the spaceship. He was wearing simple casual clothes with a relaxed smile on his face, matching what Mo Han saw on the spaceship that day.


Name: Luo Fei Watson.2Luo Fei = first name. Watson = last name. Keeping his first name as 2 separate words as that matches other translations in the ABO Cadet world


—The last name of the imperial family.


——And that crystal identity card with a blue protective cover for concealment.


Seeing this, Mo Han narrowed his eyes immediately. The corners of his lips raised slightly as he said, “First Prince, you’re still too tender to lie in front of me.”



Mo Han kinda feels like a villain in these first few chapters with his secrecy and tricks.
