Chapter 544 -16: Whose Home Court
“A gathering?”
In the Library, Xu Mo looked at Ize and Carter.

The two had invited him to a gathering organized by Lucas University alumni.
Xu Mo’s gaze at the two was like looking at idiots, as if to say, do you think I’m a fool?
They had just spoken about Elizabeth’s birthday not long ago, and now they were talking about a campus gathering?
“I won’t go,” Xu Mo refused.
“Xu Mo, consider it a favor for me,” Carter spoke up.
“That’s right, this gathering is important,” Ize added, both clearly understanding what Xu Mo had guessed.
“Fine, I’ll just suffer through it,” Xu Mo reluctantly agreed, as brothers owe it to each other to show up.
After all, no too long ago, he hadn’t contributed anything, allowing the two brothers to each contribute five percent of their shares to successfully bring Elizabeth, a member of the Lucas Star Royal Family, into the company.
He felt guilty!
Now, Carter and Ize each held five percent of the shares, and Elizabeth ten percent. Xu Mo wondered if the two brothers might end up beating him up in the future.
Moreover, as a major behind-the-scenes shareholder, he indeed needed to “get along well” with Elizabeth, as she was critically important.
Although the energy company was a very profitable business now, with shareholders that included members of the Royal Family from the interstellar bank and the Aerospace Union, it might not be enough in the future. As the group expanded, according to his vision, it would undoubtedly attract covetous eyes, and the addition of the weight of the Lucas Star Royal Family would be necessary to deter outsiders.
Moreover, as long as Elizabeth held her shares, outsiders would speculate whether Ross was the Royal Family’s front man of the Lucas Star.
This was a crucial link, so relations with Elizabeth couldn’t genuinely be strained.
However, figuring out how to make Elizabeth compliant was a problem.
That woman had always been thinking of making him her servant.
“What kind of gathering?” Just then, Zero suddenly asked, chilling Xu Mo as he looked at Carter and Ize.
Ize and Carter were somewhat afraid of Zero; Xu Mo’s personal maid had too much personality.
“An alumni gathering,” Carter spoke up.
Zero’s eyes shifted before looking at Xu Mo, who said, “Getting to know and interact with more classmates could help the company in the future.”
“Exactly, that’s what I thought, so I invited Xu Mo,” Ize nodded.
Zero seemed to ease her guard a bit, nodding lightly. Just as Xu Mo breathed a sigh of relief, Zero said, “I’ll go with you.”
“……” Xu Mo blinked.
Ize and Carter looked down; they didn’t say anything.
“It’s all guys, Zero, it wouldn’t be good for you to go,” Xu Mo said.
Zero looked at Xu Mo and asked, “Really?”
As she spoke, she looked at Ize and Carter, who were looking down as if playing dead. Xu Mo kicked them from below, and they finally looked up and said, “Yes, it’s a gathering of just the guys.”
They looked at Xu Mo with meaningful gazes. The personal maid who warmed his bed was being rather strict, perhaps too much so.
If they secured Elizabeth, they certainly wouldn’t do so.
“Fine.” Zero finally didn’t say anything further, and all three of them breathed a sigh of relief.
Why did it feel like they were committing a crime?
It was unknown whether the maid of the Royal Family would ever have a chance to become official, but as far as they knew, personal maids usually could only be concubines. However, given Zero’s assertiveness, becoming the official wife was also possible, especially since she had stayed by Xu Mo’s side even during his brothers’ downfall.
Ize and Carter imagined a touching love story!
……
Lucas Star University had an area that featured a royal palace.
This was the Royal Family’s exclusive palace built within Lucas University, majestic in appearance.
There is no absolute fairness anywhere, including in the top institutions of the Star System Alliance. As members of the Lucas Star Royal Family, they naturally had privileges.
Royal family members didn’t need to stay in student dormitories; they lived within this palace.
Many noble members or students with prominent backgrounds could also live in separate dormitories, of course, their accommodation costs were considerably higher.
The palace was located in a rather remote area, like an independent castle with a large lawn outside.
At this moment, many atmosphere lights were lit on the lawn, many people were gathered, and the palace itself was brilliantly lit with music playing.
Today, many people had come to celebrate Elizabeth’s birthday. Lucas University’s noble young masters naturally would not miss such an opportunity.
The birthday banquet was an open event, and Elizabeth, as a member of the Royal Family, also needed to network. Lucas University hosted nobles from Lucas Star as well as elites from various planets, and she naturally wouldn’t close her doors to play alone.
At the moment, Ross was standing outside the castle. He hadn’t come on his own but was invited here.
At this time, Ross felt an indescribable sensation, as the scenes he once enjoyed were slowly becoming reality, and he deeply wished all of this were not a dream.
He wanted to restore the glory of the Tard people.
There were people greeting outside the castle; Ross walked inside with an invitation and was invited to a seat at the front. Someone went to inform Elizabeth. She personally walked over, extended her delicate white hand to Ross, and said, “I am pleased to meet you, Mr. Ross.”
Seeing the dazzlingly dressed Princess Elizabeth, Ross felt somewhat ashamed of himself. The beautiful Princess, now smiling gently and extending her hand towards him, despite her warm approach, the Tard people could still sense the pride beneath the princess’s smile.
