Su Mo immediately thought something was wrong, and sure enough, in the next second, the Artificer·Devourer directly drilled out of his body.

It extended tentacles, directly wrapping around the box in Su Mo's hand.

It came up and tried to snatch it.

Su Mo instantly activated the Divine Sin Armor, grabbing the box tightly.

"What are you doing!"

"Let go, give it to me!"

The Artificer·Devourer didn't say a word and directly started snatching.

"No, I can't give this to you. Calm down."

Su Mo never expected that the Artificer·Devourer would be so bold as to start fighting here.

Unfortunately, the Artificer·Devourer didn't listen to Su Mo at all. It differentiated tentacles, directly wrapping around Su Mo, tying him up. A mouth wriggled and split out from inside the optical computer.

It opened its bloody mouth and was about to swallow the box in one bite.

How could Su Mo let it succeed? His body struggled violently, and he raised his foot in a strange posture, kicking the Artificer·Devourer directly in the face.

"You dare kick me."

"Calm down, you can't eat it. If you eat it, you'll lose control!"

"I won't lose control. It was just that I absorbed too much negative energy pollution before and wasn't prepared."

"That's not okay either. If you eat this negative energy fragment, what will I use to compensate the Federation? Do you not want the Star Destroyer?"

"I don't want it!"

The Artificer·Devourer replied without even thinking about it.

"Damn, that's not what you said before. You're really crazy."

Su Mo was dumbfounded, but he quickly recovered.

After hearing it say that, there was no way he would let the Artificer·Devourer swallow this thing.

So the two of them kept wrestling.

At this moment, a burst of rapid footsteps came, accompanied by voices.

"Is it this way?"

"That's right, it's the surveillance equipment and lighting equipment around the corner that are having problems."

"What the hell is going on? The whole area is broken."

"Not too clear, hurry over and take a look. This place is very close to the Speaker's office. If the Speaker sees it, we'll be waiting to be dismissed."

......

"Someone's coming, let go quickly, we're going to be exposed."

Su Mo said with a dark face.

"Give me the thing."

"No way."

"Then I won't let go. At worst, whoever comes will be killed!"

"Are you crazy?"

Su Mo was a little frantic.

......

Not long after, a patrol team ran over from the corner.

They were slightly stunned. The lights here were all bright, not at all like there was a problem.

At this time, Su Mo walked past them as if nothing had happened.

"What the hell? There's nothing wrong with the lighting here."

"It's best if there's no problem. Let's check the surveillance."

"Okay!"

......

Soon after, on the streets outside the Federation Building, Su Mo walked towards the Shadow Ark with his hands in his pockets.

He was tense, constantly roaring at the Artificer·Devourer in his mind.

"I told you, this thing isn't ours. It's just collateral. Can't you calm down?"

"I want this thing."

"Why can't I get through to you? Eating this thing is easy to lose control! And I haven't seen any use for this thing. After I embedded that one, I didn't grow three heads and six arms."

Su Mo was a little frantic. How could the always so rational Artificer·Devourer be so hung up on this matter?

This wasn't the first time.

"I don't care."

"I really can't stand you. In short, this one is not okay. If you eat it, I won't be able to explain it to Speaker Arres. If it really doesn't work, I'll get you one later."

"Okay!"

The Artificer·Devourer finally gave in.

Su Mo couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief after hearing that. He had finally settled this guy.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

The next morning.

Su Mo appeared in the alley outside the Federation Government Building.

He fully activated the Divine Sin Armor, covering his entire body and head.

The Artificer·Devourer said in a low voice, "Haven't you already rented the Star Destroyer to the Federation? Isn't that enough? Are you still planning to supervise in person?"

"As the saying goes, do a good deed all the way to the end, send the Buddha to the West. How can I miss this moment of pretending to be a big shot and slapping faces? I've been unhappy with those arrogant faces of the Empire's army for a long time."

Su Mo said to the Artificer·Devourer half-jokingly.

"Hmph, do you think I'll believe that?"

The Artificer·Devourer replied in a low voice.

"Okay, I'll tell you the truth. On the one hand, I'm afraid something unexpected will happen, so I simply came here to keep an eye on things. On the other hand, the location of this negotiation has been changed to the administrative building of the Komotos Empire. Reporters and live broadcasts are not allowed. How can I know what's going on if I don't go in?"

Su Mo explained helplessly.

"What's so curious about it? The nature of this negotiation is different. If the negotiation breaks down, there will be a fight. How can there be a live broadcast?"

The Artificer·Devourer replied in a low voice.

"That makes sense."

Su Mo pondered for a while and felt that what the Artificer·Devourer said made sense.

"Also, why didn't you give the Star Destroyer's delivery certificate and key directly to Arres first? Why did you have to make it so troublesome?"

The Artificer·Devourer asked with some confusion.

"You don't understand this, do you? That would be too fake. You have to know that everything that's meant to be the trump card is the last to appear at the critical moment, understand?"

Su Mo replied with a look of seasoned calculation.

"Hehe, you better not screw up, or it will be a joke."

The Artificer·Devourer reminded him with disdain.

"Haha, won't happen."

Su Mo also smiled awkwardly.

Just then, there was a sudden commotion in the Federation Building.

The gate of the Federation Building opened, and elite soldiers in mechanical armor ran out neatly, driving the crowd back.

Then, a row of hover cars drove over and parked at the entrance of the Federation Building.

Afterwards, Speaker Arres and Deputy Speaker Iserin walked out of the Federation Building, followed by senior senators and generals.

Among them, Xiao Wen and others were also in the entourage.

Everyone looked solemn and tense, and the atmosphere was a bit depressing.

The originally noisy scene was now unusually quiet, and many people showed worry on their faces.

"I feel like Speaker Arres doesn't have much confidence in the negotiation."

"It's definitely not easy to negotiate."

"Alas..."

......

At this time, a Federation reporter was reporting on the scene from a distance.

"Everyone can see now that the Federation Speaker has come out of the building and is about to get into the car to go to the Komotos Empire's administrative building. At present, we have not received any particularly good news, but we believe that the Federation will be able to reverse the situation. At the same time, we also look forward to other allies having better solutions. Hopefully, we won't get to the point of resorting to arms."
