Chapter 383: Chapter 38: The Terrifying Approval Rating Chapter 383: Chapter 38: The Terrifying Approval Rating A massive protest broke out in Chuanxing City, demanding the government revoke the privileges and all preferential policies for aliens.
In different districts, there were processions of demonstrators, especially around the area where the City Government building was located.
On his first day in Chuanxing City, Xu Mo had witnessed this scene, and unexpectedly, his incident had once again triggered a wave of dissent, with many Chuanxing City residents long dissatisfied, and now, the Transcendent competition had further ignited public outrage.
If even the top two finishers of the Transcendent competition could be dealt with due to alien privileges, what about the ordinary people?
In Future City, Ye Qingdie was looking at a tablet, keeping an eye on the situation outside.
Xu Mo, on the other hand, was standing in front of the bed, noticing that there were quite a few active people outside Future City.
Previously, the person in charge of the Transcendent competition had told him he would be followed, but that did not rule out the possibility of people from Lancelot Star being among them.
“The Lancelot Star People have threatened the City Government that if you are not handed over to them to be sent to Lancelot Star for processing, they will sue to the Star System Alliance, sanction Byron Star, and kick Byron Star out of the Alliance,” Ye Qingdie said as she watched the news.
“However, I’ve looked up the Star System Alliance’s data, and Lancelot Star is mostly just verbally threatening.
They don’t have that kind of influence and seem to be merely groaning without illness, trying to intimidate Byron Star.”
“If Lancelot Star wants to sanction Byron Star, they have to take action themselves, but two planets will not easily wage a major conflict over one person, and the worst-case scenario would be cancellation of cooperation,” Ye Qingdie continued.
“It depends on how the Byron Star government handles it, but given the public sentiment outside, I believe the Byron Star government isn’t that weak.
Otherwise, it would be scandalous and easily provoke public anger.”
Xu Mo turned to look at Ye Qingdie, who was seriously researching information, and with her glasses on, she sort of resembled his personal secretary.

At that moment, Ye Qingdie looked up at Xu Mo and said, “However, we can’t rule out the possibility that the Byron Star government is indeed weak and unwilling to offend Lancelot Star.
They might sacrifice you despite public opinion to please Lancelot Star, but I think the likelihood of that is very low, less than twenty percent.”
“Hmm,” Xu Mo nodded.
He was Robert in the game of rules and had been attacked first, and since the event was witnessed by hundreds of millions of people across all the major cities, there was basically no great risk.
If, under these circumstances, the City Government not only failed to offer protection but also handed him over, Byron Star would be rotten to the core, and it might even become a landmark event with extremely detrimental effects.
At that moment, Xu Mo’s Communicator vibrated—it was a call from Stark Hao.
Xu Mo answered the call.
“The City Government is looking for you; they want you to make a trip,” said Stark Hao.
The Stark Group also had people waiting downstairs, so Stark Hao was naturally the first to receive the message and informed him.
Xu Mo frowned and asked, “What’s their intention?”
“They say it’s for an inquiry, to cooperate with the investigation, just following the procedure,” Stark Hao replied.
“You don’t have to go if you don’t want to, just refuse them outright.”
“Since it’s official business, it would look bad to refuse.
I’ll go, you take care of the outside,” Xu Mo said.
If the government was planning to give up on him, he wouldn’t be able to escape by refusing to go.

It was better to cooperate and see what their attitude was.
Moreover, having the Stark Group publicize the matter outside could continue to put pressure on them.
“Okay,” Stark Hao responded.
“A representative from the Stark Group will be there.”
“Alright,” Xu Mo hung up the Communicator, and Ye Qingdie looked at him, then Xu Mo said, “The City Government people are downstairs.
They say it’s just procedural.
I’ll go with them.”
Ye Qingdie frowned and replied, “I’ll go with you.”
“The Stark Group will have someone there.
Stay home and don’t wander off,” Xu Mo told Ye Qingdie, and she stood up, looking at him, clearly worried.
“Sister Butterfly, you look really good with glasses, very ‘distinctive,’” Xu Mo said, uttering a seemingly nonsensical remark before walking away, leaving Ye Qingdie momentarily stunned.
What does he mean???
This rascal still has the mood to joke.
Xu Mo went downstairs and left with the City Government’s vehicle, heading for the City Government.
Meanwhile, the Stark Group swiftly notified the major media outlets.
Shortly, the major media of Chuanxing City broadcasted the news of Xu Mo being ‘invited’ by the City Government, immediately causing an even bigger commotion.
The citizens couldn’t sit still anymore, and more and more people took to the streets to join the ranks of the protesters.
Many groups headed straight for the direction of the City Government to apply pressure.
When Xu Mo arrived at the City Government, he found that many civilians had gotten there even earlier than him and had already surrounded the exterior.
The vehicle struggled to move forward and finally entered the City Government building.
On the road, he could hear many people shouting for Mayor Liu Feng to step down.
Inside a spacious office at the City Government, Xu Mo was brought in.
A figure who was working at the desk stood up upon seeing Xu Mo and approached him, extending his hand and saying, “Xu Mo, this is the third time we’ve met.”
“Mayor Liu Feng,” Xu Mo shook hands with him, noting that Mayor Liu Feng had a keen observational skill, having noticed him the previous two times.
