Chapter 271: Chapter 129: Where the Sword Points_2 Chapter 271: Chapter 129: Where the Sword Points_2 The recent changes in Steel Dome City have always been instigated by the O’Brian family and the Li family, finalizing their share of the profits.
Their company will fully promote Genetic Evolution Liquid in Steel Dome City, making it an essential part of everyone’s lives.
From now on, the city will be under their company’s control, and everyone will be dependent on Genetic Evolution Liquid.
Xu Mo was exceptional, with an S-rank talent for Source Power Fusion Degree and exhibited extremely strong combat power.
Lucas could even set aside past grudges, foregoing the damage Xu Mo had caused to their company’s foundational laboratory in the Underworld, as long as Xu Mo was willing to join them.
Regrettably, Xu Mo did not cherish this opportunity.
So, the outcome was already determined.
Lucas just glanced briefly before shifting his gaze away.
Xu Mo did not look in that direction either, but instead gazed towards the Capital.
Soon, Xu Mo spotted Irina’s figure among the crowd; her presence was so outstanding that she was immediately noticeable.
Irina also happened to look towards him, and after a moment of eye contact, she shifted her gaze away.
The unexpected arrival of Xu Mo drew considerable attention, and many people whispered among themselves.
There was even speculation.
Was Xu Mo not content?

Now, with his halo faded and Li Zelong and Nanming Huowu in the spotlight together, attracting everyone’s attention.
Xu Mo, having once been rumored to be involved with Nanming Huowu, must be feeling uncomfortable, right?
At this moment, Xu Mo’s communicator vibrated, he glanced at it, and opened the message.
“Do you like her?” Irina asked.
Xu Mo looked up in the direction where Irina was, somewhat taken aback.
Like?
Hearing the surrounding murmurs, he realized they might be talking about Nanming Huowu.
“No, just some rumors from before,” Xu Mo replied.
Irina was gossiping too?
The disturbance gradually subsided, and the crowd quieted down in anticipation of the upcoming meeting.
After Nan Mingyuan became the mayor, the head of Nanming Academy was replaced, still by someone from the Nanming Family.
He walked to the center and announced the start of today’s exchange match.
One by one, participants headed to the battlefield to fight.
…
On Triumph Street, throngs of people looked up at the screens on the surrounding steel buildings.
Those screens broadcasted the grandeur of Nanming Academy from different angles.
They showed the spectator stands, students from Capital College, delegates from the Eight Extraordinary Colleges, and the battlefield.

At that moment, they witnessed the first battle, which was fiercely contested.
It seemed that the Eight Extraordinary Colleges were also getting serious.
Especially those students aiming to go to the Capital.
A gun master was dueling a swordsman.
The swordsman moved incredibly fast, dodging continuously, with the sword in his hand slashing through the air, capturing the line of fire with precision.
The gun master was just as quick, firing relentlessly while on the move.
The fight was intensely fierce.
As people watched the battle, around Triumph Street, atop various steel buildings, people appeared in different positions, setting up sniper rifles, sealing off the area.
Meanwhile, on a high platform at the front of Triumph Street, people started entering the area, preparing for something.
A piano was carried onto the stage.
“Miss Ian is here,” many people directed their attention towards the platform where Mia’s figure appeared.
After arriving at the platform, she too raised her head to watch the screen above, seemingly enjoying the match taking place.
The fierce battle at Nanming Academy seemed to transport her back to a memory.
That day in the Underworld, a splendid battle had also erupted.
The big shots of the Underworld sat observing from above the Arena, as those in the pit fought for their lives.
On that day, the uprising in the Underworld could not disturb the Arena despite the outside cries of war.
All of this felt so vivid, as familiar as if it had happened yesterday.
Yet, it was the memory she least wanted to revisit.
The sound on the steel building screens was turned down; though the battle could still be seen, its volume was greatly diminished.
The people on Triumph Street didn’t mind, for there was a free open-air concert featuring Miss Ian today that naturally couldn’t be interrupted by loud noises.
Besides, it didn’t stop them from watching the fight, and coupled with Miss Ian’s music, it might provide a different kind of enjoyment.
Mia’s gaze shifted to the crowd, she bowed slightly, and Triumph Street gradually quieted down, the audience tacitly stopping their chatter.
Miss Ian, the goddess-like figure of Steel Dome City, enjoyed immense popularity, and the public was naturally willing to cooperate, avoiding any disturbance.
Mia sat down at the piano, with guards around the stage.
Yi Kai and his sister Irina were also present.
They watched Mia, Yi Kai and Irina had only recently learned why Mia wanted to become famous.
To accuse the Gene company.
With her life as her testimony.
The fragile girl had such firm resolve within her.
And they would stand by Mia’s side through it all.
Over time, they had grown genuinely fond of this pure and beautiful girl, who possessed a unique charm that infected those around her with peace and happiness.
Yet, she kept all her sorrow hidden deep within her heart.
Music flowed as Mia’s fingers touched the piano keys, playing quietly, a glow seemed to emanate from her at that moment.
Yi Kai watched the flawless figure with a hint of admiration in his eyes.
He had fallen for this pure and unblemished girl, so utterly clean.
