Alien Arms Empire

Chapter 1889 The last meeting of 1890

Although she was mentally prepared, Sophia still felt a little aggrieved the moment Tang Mo walked into the room.

She should sit there more decently, smiling charmingly in front of such an opponent who is so powerful that it makes one's hair stand on end. But she was so embarrassed now that she even felt unworthy of facing the man in front of her.

Not showing her best side to this man was Sofia's biggest regret. Ten years ago, she would have been more confident in this meeting.

Wes did not leave. He stood near the door and looked down at Sophia on the hospital bed. In fact, he was also curious as to what kind of medicine the woman in front of him had taken wrongly, and she was desperate to make an enemy of a terrifyingly powerful being like Tang Mo.

Sofia didn't care that there were other people in the room; Now is not the time for her to choose the environment. It is a surprise that Tang Mo can sit here and chat with her.

While Sophia was looking at Tang Mo with some inferiority complex, Tang Mo was also looking at Sophia. Frankly speaking, even though she is no longer young, Sophia is still a complete beauty.

Even though there are still a few scratches on her face, her face is still beautiful, and her former beauty can be seen in many places.

No wonder Tang Mo heard that this woman was once as beautiful as his imperial concubine Ying Yue. Even Yi Lin, who was carefully selected by the elves and sent to him, may not be any more stunning than Sophia.

But at this moment, Sophia was too embarrassed.

Her bare wrist did make Tang Mo feel a little uncomfortable, and the bandaged leg also made Sofia, who was like a work of art, imperfect.

Silence spread in the air, there was no sound in the room, only the faint noise of the medical equipment monitoring Sophia's life condition continued.

"Your Majesty, the great Emperor, can you describe your coronation ceremony to me?" Finally, the silence was broken. Sophia's voice was thin, as if it was coming from a far away place, or as if it was trapped in thick cotton, revealing weakness and powerlessness. She struggled to turn her eyes to Tang Mo beside the bed, her pale lips moved slightly, and repeated: "I didn't have time to see..."

She had actually seen Tang Mo on TV. In newspapers, Tang Mo's photos were overwhelming, occupying almost all important pages. Tang Mo in those photos is either high-spirited or deep and restrained, all with a majesty and momentum that cannot be ignored. However, when she saw Tang Mo in person, she felt a sense of reality that neither photos nor images could convey.

The man in front of him was calmer and more elusive than in the photo. He exudes a faint sense of alienation, as if separated by a layer of mist, making it difficult to see clearly. This feeling made her feel strange, and also made her feel a little uneasy.

The kings she met in the past were marionettes in the hands of her or the Cyric consortium. They were all puppets she could manipulate. That kind of overlooking feeling made her have no basic respect for the emperor.

But it was different now. The man in front of her exuded a scent that made women addicted, making Sophia's every breath tense. This was a feeling she had never felt before, as if it was the excitement of a new love.

"The ceremony... went well." Tang Mo's voice was low and calm, as if he was talking about something that had nothing to do with him. "Because of the... episode you planned, the security level has been improved, so many processes have been simplified." At this point, he paused, seeming to recall the scene at that time.

The grandeur of the coronation came again to his mind. The majestic palace, the solemn ceremony, the cheers like a roaring mountain and a tsunami... all of this flashed by frame by frame like a movie scene.

He seemed to hear the cheers of the people of Chang'an City again. The sound came like a tide, deafening, full of awe and worship. That is his glory and a symbol of his power.

Yes, the entire city of Chang'an was cheering, and everyone in Chang'an was shouting "Long live His Majesty the Emperor." The roar of the sound was enough to shatter the courage of all those who tried to challenge Tang Mo's imperial power. Anyone facing such a cry will feel awe from the bottom of his heart.

With the continuous spread of television signals, every inch of the Tang Empire burst out with the most enthusiastic shouts. The shouts of "long live my emperor" echoed in the sky and never dissipated for a long time.

Such a scene has never appeared in history, and there is a high probability that it will not happen again in the future.

"So, I indirectly 'participated' in your coronation ceremony?" A bitter smile appeared on Sophia's lips, with a hint of self-deprecation and helplessness in her tone.

She originally planned to use that bomb to create some "surprises" for Tang Mo's coronation ceremony, so that he could taste the bitter fruit of failure at the moment when he reached the pinnacle of power. Even if she failed in the end, the fear and anxiety buried in Tang Mo's heart would take root and affect his life. However, her plan failed, and her carefully selected men failed to complete their mission.

Tang Mo's answer confirmed her guess. This made her feel a little relieved. At least, her plan had a certain impact on Tang Mo.

"Yes, your 'participation' did cause me a lot of trouble." Tang Mo's tone was still calm, and there was no emotion: "In order to find the so-called bomb you planted, my security department... It took a full three hours." "Three hours?" Sophia was a little surprised. She didn't expect the security department of the Tang Empire to be so efficient. In her opinion, three hours was just enough time for her to have a decent lunch. Unexpectedly, Tang Mo's men could find the bomb in such a short period of time and confirm that there was no second bomb elsewhere...

"Unfortunately, they didn't find it." Tang Mo shook his head with a hint of ridicule in his tone.

"Not found?" Sophia was stunned. She didn't understand what Tang Mo meant. If the bomb had not been found, the coronation ceremony would have been cancelled. Why could Tang Mo still say so calmly, "Everything went according to plan"?

"Your men have no way to get close to the viewing platform and the coronation main stage." Tang Mo explained: "So, he has no chance to plant bombs."

"Your people have been lying to you from beginning to end. The bomb does not exist at all." Seeing Sophia stunned, Tang Mo continued: "It is precisely because you were kept in the dark that your performance was so... It was so realistic that Leo and the others really thought there was a security breach when setting up the venue, and they checked it over and over again for three hours. "

"I see..." Only then did Sophia realize that she had underestimated the Tang Empire's security measures and overestimated the capabilities of her subordinates.

"So, was your coronation ceremony... wonderful?" There was a brief silence after the emotion. After the silence, Sofia changed the topic. She wanted to know how Tang Mo felt in his heart at the moment when he ascended the throne.

"Everything went according to plan." Tang Mo's tone remained calm, "The only regret is that there are no surprises."

In order to avoid any mistakes, Tan Gong's coronation ceremony would definitely require him to finalize all the procedures himself, and even require some rehearsals. So for Tang Mo himself, there was actually no so-called surprise.

"Who crowned you?" Sofia was very curious about this matter. She wanted to know who was qualified to wear a crown for a figure like the Emperor of the Tang Empire.

"Myself." Tang Mo's answer was brief but powerful.

"Yourself?" Sophia was stunned for a moment, then relaxed again. This approach is indeed in line with Tang Mo's style.

"It's very special..." Then she reacted, nodded and agreed softly, "If it were me, I would also choose to crown myself."

Ignoring Sophia's presumptuous words, Tang Mo just smiled faintly. He knew that Sophia had lost the qualification to fight him, and he did not need to contend with a dead man. He came here just to see with his own eyes his last visible opponent in this world.

After today, such an opportunity may really be gone. After all, there are really very few people who dare to openly oppose him.

"My time is limited, if there's nothing else to say, let's do it." Tang Mo stood up. He really didn't have that much time to waste on a dying person like Sophia.

He needs to manage such a huge empire, and every minute is very precious for people like him.

From Tang Mo's point of view, it is more meaningful to deal with a government matter and allow one more of his people to survive the disaster than to stay here and talk nonsense with Sophia.

"What if..." When Tang Mo walked to the door, Sophia's voice came from behind: "Ten or fifteen years ago, we met... would you have fallen in love with me?"

When she said this, Sophia seemed to have exhausted all her courage. She didn't know why she asked such a question out of nowhere, and she wasn't even prepared for it.

"No." Tang Mo gave the answer without thinking.

The door was closed, leaving only Sophia standing there stunned. As the medicine was injected into her body, the signals representing vital signs on the life detection equipment had all returned to zero.

In the corridor, Weiss, who was accompanying Tang Mo, couldn't hide the smile on his face: "I thought you would give her the last comfort."

"How is that possible?" Tang Mo raised the corner of his mouth slightly: "I'm just here to put the last nail on the board of her coffin."
