Aimos had dozens of layers of buffs stacked on her, and her anger gradually subsided. Only then did she coldly snort and retract her ability.

Herber didn't mind. It wasn't the first day he had a conflict with Aimos. He immediately turned his head and nodded at Su Yi.

"Then, I'll leave first. I look forward to your consideration." Su Yi understood, handed his contact information to Aimos, smiled, and was about to turn around and walk out of the room.

Looking at the special envoy's back, Han Xiao suddenly hesitated.

Should he plant an eye on Su Yi? It felt like it would be very rewarding.

He hadn't forgotten that today was just a private meeting before the official start of the gathering. When the gathering was held tomorrow, Herber would introduce Su Yi to all the guests, and that would be when the undercurrents would surge.

The Crimson Dynasty would not personally seize territory. As soon as they moved, the Guanghui Federation would also move, and the conflict would escalate. Because it was not yet the stage where the players were tearing each other apart off the field, the Crimson Dynasty was trying to win over the forces of the Shattered Star Ring to increase the chess pieces available to them, using the starry sky as a chessboard and using the chess pieces to compete for benefits.

Throwing an observation mark could reveal what the Crimson Dynasty was doing behind the scenes and how many forces were embracing the Crimson Dynasty. This was valuable information.

However, although the observation mark had almost no trace and even Aimos couldn't detect it, there were two other Super-As present, and it might be discovered. Moreover, the people of the Crimson Dynasty might have special methods.

"Well, let's give it a try. It's not too serious if it's discovered. After all, he wants to win us over, not as an enemy."

Han Xiao thought for a while, a gray light flashed in his eyes, and he threw an observation mark on Su Yi.

Aimos and Herber were completely unaware.

Su Yi also didn't react and left the room. The door blocked his back.

At this moment, Han Xiao suddenly felt someone watching him and turned his head to look. He saw Austin staring at him.

"He noticed?" Han Xiao's heart skipped a beat.

Everyone's abilities were different. Aimos and Herber couldn't detect it, but Austin was a magician and was very sensitive to all kinds of energy. Although the fluctuations of void energy were very subtle, they couldn't escape his perception.

However, Austin didn't say anything to remind him, just smiled friendly at Han Xiao, and then shifted his gaze away.

Han Xiao didn't know what he meant, but it was good for him that he didn't say it.

"Is there anything else? I'm leaving."

Aimos was annoyed when she looked at Herber and didn't want to stay here.

"Wait a minute."

At this moment, Herber spoke.

"What else is there?" Aimos frowned.

"I heard that you have been expanding your forces recently. We can join forces." Herber's tone softened.

"Join forces?" Aimos smiled mockingly, "Do you think I have a good relationship with you?"

"I can no longer pursue the farce you made on Herber Star, and we can write it off." Herber said.

"Then you should continue to pursue it."

Aimos was too lazy to argue, descended from the throne, turned around and left.

Han Xiao took Hela and the two of them and followed her out of the room.

Austin laughed, "Haha, Herber, she hates you more and more."

"It doesn't matter." Herber didn't care.

"I thought you were going to propose marriage again."

"Forget it, I guess she won't agree this time either." Herber shook his head.

"Seriously, you both have tough personalities. If you want to get her, you have to restrain yourself a little."

Austin's tone was playful. His temperament was relatively easy-going, and he had a good relationship with both of them. He knew the history of Herber pursuing Aimos.

"I won't change for any woman." Herber waved his hand.

He didn't have too much obsession with Aimos. In the entire Shattered Star Ring, Herber believed that only Aimos, who was also a Super-A, was worthy of himself. Only she was qualified to be his spouse, and it didn't involve any factors of love.

If he could get Aimos, his forces would have two Super-A powerhouses, which would be a huge improvement.

Herber disdained deception and was too lazy to waste time. His style had always been straightforward and he didn't shy away from the fact that his real goal in pursuing Aimos was simply to create a strong alliance.

Austin still remembered the scene when Aimos was furious when Herber proposed for the first time. He wanted to laugh every time he thought about it.

…

When Han Xiao and his party walked to the gate of the palace, Kairo was about to come in, and the two sides ran into each other.

"It's you again."

Kairo didn't mean to provoke this time. He didn't stick his eyes on Aimos like last time. His expression was very calm, and he seemed to regard them as passers-by.

Aimos glanced at him lightly. Although she was unhappy, she couldn't do anything in the territory of the Overlord and didn't want to pay attention to Kairo anymore.

Just as the two sides were about to pass each other, Han Xiao suddenly stretched out his hand and pressed it on Kairo's shoulder, grabbing him firmly like iron tongs.

Kairo turned his head in confusion, his expression displeased, "What are you doing?"

"I remember, you said before that I was just your replacement?" Han Xiao narrowed his eyes and said unkindly, "Since you claim to be my senior, please give me some guidance."

Kairo's face changed. He thought that the provocation storm last time had passed, but he didn't expect that after a few days, Han Xiao would suddenly attack.

Aimos stopped and looked surprised.

"What do you mean? Do you want to fight here? This is Herber Star!" Kairo said threateningly.

"Don't worry, I just want to spar with you and see how powerful this traitor is."

Han Xiao smiled slyly, "The Overlord's subordinates, wouldn't dare not accept the challenge."

"I see, this is Aimos's intention."

Kairo felt that he had guessed it. It must be that Aimos had suffered a loss and wanted to save face, so she instructed Black Star to come forward and challenge him. If it was just a spar between cadres, Herber wouldn't say anything.

Heh, is she so confident in this new cadre?

Kairo's face turned cold, "Okay, I accept your challenge. I hope you don't lose too quickly."

The battlefield was his home ground, and he could use countless machines. Even if Black Star's reputation had been very loud recently, Kairo didn't care at all.

He had heard about Aimos's new cadre, and he also wanted to know all of Han Xiao's strength to see what kind of person Aimos had found to replace him.

Moreover, his identity was sensitive. Now he represented the Overlord. Since Aimos instructed Black Star to challenge him, he couldn't back down. Although Herber could protect him, if he was cowardly, the Overlord's personality would make his ending very bad.

The battlefield despised cowards the most. If you weren't a war maniac, you wouldn't be able to reach the top level under the Overlord.

Han Xiao grinned and suddenly said, "We are both mechanics. It's boring to just spar. Let's bet on something."

"What to bet on?"

"Let's bet… how about five sets of mechanical blueprints? The loser must obey the winner and take out the blueprints required by the winner." Han Xiao smiled very slyly.

Using blueprints as a bet… Kairo frowned. Blueprints were the lifeline of a mechanic, and it was very common for mechanics to use blueprints as bets.

"Okay." Kairo nodded.

Han Xiao's eyes lit up.

He suddenly challenged Kairo for several reasons.

Aimos couldn't make a move, but he could. It was a good opportunity to be appropriately high-profile and show his strength, which would be good for improving his status in this circle and could also vent his anger for Aimos.

If the Overlord intervened in a spar between cadres, that would be a loss of status.

Secondly, he had been constantly spying on Kairo these past few days and had roughly determined the other party's combat power. Knowing yourself and your enemy, you will never be defeated. Moreover, he also discovered that Kairo had several good mechanical equipment. Han Xiao proposed a bet because he wanted to win several mechanical blueprints.

He wouldn't fight a battle without benefits.

The third reason was the key—a new camp mission popped up on his panel:
