Chapter 191 Banquet

After Qian Chengxue and the others went inside, Su Mo exchanged pleasantries with everyone for a while. Then he saw Auglas, Lin Yaotian, and others arrive together.

"You're here."

Su Mo greeted them with a smile.

Auglas was slightly surprised. He didn't expect Su Mo to arrive so early and even welcome him. He said apologetically, "Sorry, there were too many things to take care of, and I'm late."

"It's not late, just right. Let's go in quickly."

Su Mo's head was about to explode. These people were too enthusiastic.

"Okay, let's all go in together."

Auglas said in a good mood.

Soon, Su Mo and the others entered. The entire banquet hall was carefully decorated. It was filled with round tables covered with red cloths, enough to accommodate more than five hundred people.

Most of the tables were already occupied, leaving only the main tables at the front empty.

When the people in the banquet hall saw Su Mo and Auglas enter, they stood up and gathered around to exchange greetings.

For a time, Su Mo became the focus of attention.

At that moment, Sun Li pulled Qian Chengxue to a corner.

"Sun Li, what's wrong? Why so mysterious?"

Qian Chengxue asked in confusion.

"Sister Xue, let me tell you, haven't you noticed that Su Mo is super popular now?"

"Hasn't he always been popular?"

"It's different now. Su Mo has become one of the Royal Knights, and he's become a hot commodity. Didn't you see how many girls wanted to flirt with him just now? Even Wang Qing looks at Su Mo differently. Sister Xue, you must hold on tight. Don't let anyone steal him away. You better secure Su Mo as soon as possible."

Sun Li was even more anxious than Qian Chengxue.

Qian Chengxue smiled dumbly and shook her head slightly.

"It's okay, don't think too much."

Although she said that, she didn't know why, but her heart was still a little touched.

Qian Chengxue looked at Su Mo, who was surrounded by people, and was lost in thought for a moment.

Just then, Su Mo saw Qian Chengxue and Sun Li in the corner and called out.

"Xue'er."

Qian Chengxue immediately came back to her senses. A faint smile appeared on her cold face. No matter where she was, Su Mo was always the first to look for her in the crowd.

"Sun Li, let's go over."

"Okay."

Sun Li nodded in response, without saying anything more.

Soon, Su Mo, Qian Chengxue, Auglas, Lin Yaotian, Zhang Xun, and others took their seats at the main table.

At this time, several tall and elegant waiters quickly placed exquisite dishes on the tables and poured wine for everyone.

Then, Auglas stood up and said in a steady voice, "Everyone, please be quiet."

Instantly, the noisy banquet hall quieted down, and everyone looked over.

"I'm very happy that everyone can gather together for dinner today. I would like to take this opportunity to thank our Federation's hero, Su Mo, for his contributions to the Federation. The Federation has him today because of him. Let's all raise a glass to him."

Auglas said, leading the way in raising his glass.

Immediately, all the guests present stood up and raised their glasses.

Seeing this, Su Mo also stood up and said to everyone, "You're all too kind. The Federation's achievements today are not just my contribution alone. It's the contribution of everyone, so this glass of wine should be a toast to everyone. Let's all drink it together."

After Su Mo finished speaking, he took the lead in draining the wine in his glass.

Auglas and the others didn't say anything more and all drank the wine in their glasses.

"Okay, everyone, eat. There are no restrictions on status today, so eat and drink to your heart's content."

Auglas directly announced that the banquet had begun.

The originally quiet banquet hall became lively again, and everyone chatted while eating.

But if you listened carefully, you would find that many people were talking about Su Mo.

"I think Su Mo-daren's current ranking is inheriting the original Rogerd's ranking. This ranking is unreasonable. With his ability, it can be completely adjusted. Maybe he can be ranked in the top few."

"I think so too. When Su Mo-daren's ranking goes up, our Federation's status will definitely rise as well."

......

At this time, Auglas said to Su Mo very warmly, "Su Mo, eat more."

"Okay, everyone eat."

Su Mo also started eating.

At this time, an old man in luxurious clothes ran to the main table with a wine glass and said to Su Mo, "Su Mo-daren, let me introduce myself. I am Luo Lian, the director of the Federal Stellar Bank. Can I have a drink with you?"

"It's my honor, no problem."

Su Mo picked up his wine glass and politely clinked it with him.

"I'll drink it up, you can do as you please!"

Seeing that Su Mo was willing to drink with him, the other party couldn't restrain his joy and drank the wine in his glass.

At this time, others couldn't sit still. A middle-aged man, fat and wearing a senator's uniform, ran up with small steps.

"Su Mo-daren, I am Senator Tian Chuan of the Federal Parliament. I'll toast you."

"Okay."

Su Mo squeezed out a smile and responded.

At this time, officials and dignitaries in the federal system came forward one after another, all toasting Su Mo with excited expressions.

Su Mo tried his best to be patient, clinking glasses with them one by one, smiling.

In just half an hour, fifty or sixty people came up to toast him, and he gritted his teeth and persevered.

At this time, the low voice of the Creator Devourer sounded in Su Mo's mind.

"I don't think you like this kind of social occasion at all. With your current status and position, why bother being polite to them? Just ignore them."

"You don't understand, don't underestimate these little people. That's right, they may seem insignificant now, and I can completely ignore them. But you can't be so arrogant and conceited, you'll only offend them all. Why bother?"

"Hmph, as long as you are strong enough, so what? Who can do anything to you?"

"Can you guarantee that you will be at your peak forever and will not weaken? And if you offend them all, what if they stab you in the back at a crucial moment? Wouldn't that be a waste of effort? Besides, you only need to give them face and have a drink. They will naturally feel very honored and happy, and they will remember your kindness. And they are all members of the Federation, and the Federation has been good to me before. In a sense, they are all our own people. And most importantly, I am indeed ashore and in a high position now, but I cannot look down on those who are still struggling in the sea, wouldn't that be like a villain."

Su Mo patiently explained to the Creator Devourer.

"Hmph."

After listening to Su Mo's words, the Creator Devourer snorted coldly and didn't say anything more.

At this time, Auglas asked Su Mo, "Are you still used to the food?"

"It's pretty good."

"Actually, it's rare to entertain you, and under normal circumstances, we should have prepared better. But there's no way, time is too tight, and we're leaving the day after tomorrow."

Auglas said to Su Mo.
