Chapter 135 - 130 Void Pearl! (4/5)_1
If he had revealed himself too soon, Chen Mo could imagine it would have been akin to stirring up a hornet’s nest. A horde of Assassins would swarm in relentlessly, regardless of the cost! Even with his various means at his disposal now, Chen Mo dared not imagine his survival odds in such a scenario.
As they left the Academy Alliance with their teachers, Shen Rulong turned to Chen Mo and said, "Chen Mo, the rewards haven’t been officially given out yet. However, I’m awarding you an extra eternal gold coin in advance so you can prepare additional means before the college entrance examination! You now have a total of 1.2 billion, so make sure to utilize it well!"
Having said that, Shen Rulong gave Chen Mo an eternal gold coin.
"Thank you, Principal." Chen Mo grinned as he received it.
This was truly a windfall.He was naturally happy to receive additional gains that he had not considered before.
"Principal, this sudden gift of a hundred million leaves those of us who were prepared to give a little something in an awkward position, doesn’t it?" Su Tianxin looked at the Principal, speechless. She had intended to reward her outstanding student, but now she felt she had nothing suitable to offer.
Chen Mo chuckled and said, "You don’t have to, Teacher. Your previous care and guidance are the best rewards."
"Such a smooth-talker, aren’t you?" Su Tianxin smiled and pinched Chen Mo’s face. "When we get back, I’ll treat you three little ones to a feast. Unfortunately, Yingyue is being targeted by Aliens and currently cannot easily go out."
Hearing this, Chen Mo indeed felt a bit guilty. The Aliens had stopped paying attention to him, but they had targeted Yan Yingyue instead. Hadn’t he indirectly harmed her in the process?
Chen Mo simply assumed that Yan Yingyue, who had not been originally singled out, was now targeted because of him. Little did he know that the moment he triggered the sound of the great path, all the four-star and five-star professionals who had recently awakened had been added to the assassination list. Even without his and Yan Yingyue’s amazing performances this time, she would have been on the must-kill list.
On the contrary, their outstanding performances led someone among the Aliens to propose an early assassination plan. This allowed Yan Yingyue to receive priority protection now. Otherwise, once a full-scale assassination broke out, it was uncertain if she would have survived.
Although global leaders had secretly been arranging contingency plans, as the old saying goes, while you can be a thief for a thousand days, you cannot be on guard against a thief for a thousand days. If the opponent is determined to assassinate, you can never truly guarantee foolproof protection.
The only way was to prevent Aliens from entering Earth. However, given the current situation, this was temporarily unachievable. But the higher-ups were already working on it.
