Chapter 535: Aftermath of Glory: The Mo Family's New Challenge

The elder's exclamation stopped abruptly. The black light was astonishingly fast and penetrated the energy core in Wen Nuan's hand in the blink of an eye.

The core glowed and emitted a low humming sound, as if it was under tremendous pressure.

Wen Nuan groaned, her face turned pale in an instant, and the core in her hand became scorching hot.

Mo Han was quick to support the shaky Wen Nuan and asked nervously, "Nuan Nuan, what's wrong with you?"

Wen Nuan gritted her teeth, suppressing the blood and energy surging in her body, and shook her head with difficulty: "I... I'm fine..." Before she finished her words, the light of the energy core suddenly converged and became dim, as if it had lost all its energy.

The faces of the elders around changed drastically when they saw this.

An elder trembled and asked, "The energy core...is ineffective?"

This news was like a bolt from the blue, shocking everyone present to the point of being stunned.

This energy core was obtained by the Mo family after going through untold hardships. It represents the glory of the Mo family and is also the key to the future development of the Mo family.

Now, it has failed!

Mo Han's face was terribly gloomy. He hugged Wen Nuan tightly, his eyes scanning the crowd with coldness, his tone filled with suppressed anger: "What's going on? Can anyone give me an explanation?"

Everyone looked at each other in silence.

No one knows what is going on. What exactly is that black light and why does it make the energy core ineffective?

The atmosphere was so oppressive that it was hard to breathe.

At this moment, an elder in charge of intelligence rushed over and reported in a panic, "Master, this is bad! All our trade routes have been cut off! Moreover, the Interstellar Alliance has just issued sanctions against us..."

Mo Han took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in his heart. He supported Wen Nuan and slowly walked towards the position of the head of the family. His tone was firm and cold: "Pass the order and hold an emergency family meeting." He paused, his eyes as sharp as a knife, "It seems that some people can't wait to challenge the authority of the Mo family..." He gently patted Wen Nuan's hand and whispered: "Nuan Nuan, don't be afraid, I'll take care of everything." Wen Nuan looked up at him, her eyes full of worry.

Mo Han didn't resort to using his family's force to resolve the issue as he had done in the past...

Mo Han, contrary to his usual behavior, did not use the family's military force. Instead, he announced a temporary contraction of the business layout and focused on resource integration and internal optimization.

This sudden decision caused an uproar within the family, and many elders expressed their confusion.

Why did Mo Han, who has always been known for his tough tactics, suddenly become so "weak"?

Doubts arose one after another, and some people even began to doubt Mo Han's ability, and undercurrents surged within the family.

"Master, why should we give in? Are we afraid of them?" An elder slammed the table and stood up, his tone full of anger and unwillingness.

Mo Han's expression was calm as he glanced at the crowd. He spoke firmly, "One step back opens up a new world. What we need now is to bide our time, not rush into anything. Only by conserving our strength can we deliver a fatal blow to the enemy at the critical moment."

However, his explanation was not accepted by everyone, and doubts continued.

At this moment, Wen Nuan stood up.

She gracefully walked over to Mo Han, looked around at everyone, and spoke in a steady and powerful tone, "Elders, I know you're all worried, but please trust the Patriarch, and trust me." She paused, then continued, "I've contacted several friendly interstellar forces, and they're willing to cooperate with us and help us overcome this difficult time."

The warm words were like a magic needle that calmed the noise of the crowd in an instant.

Everyone then remembered that this young lady was not just a pretty face, she had extensive connections and extraordinary business acumen.

In the following days, Wen Nuan made full use of her advantages and her interstellar connections to reach cooperation with some neutral forces. She not only gradually restored the Mo family's severed trade routes, but also opened up new markets for the Mo family.

The Mo family's financial situation gradually improved, and family members began to look at Wen Nuan with admiration and gratitude.

Mo Han looked at Wen Nuan, who was handling family affairs with ease, with his eyes filled with pride and love.

He walked to her side, gently put his arms around her waist, and whispered in her ear: "Nuannuan, you are really my lucky star."

Wen Nuan smiled sweetly and looked back at Mo Han, her eyes gleaming with confidence: "We will face this together."

Just as the Mo family was gradually emerging from their predicament and regaining their vitality, a pitch-black interstellar battleship quietly appeared at the edge of the Mo family's star field...

In the battleship's command room, a burly man gazed towards the Mo family's star region, a sinister smile playing on his lips. "Mo family, your good days are over." He picked up the communicator and ordered in a cold tone, "Notify everyone and prepare for the attack..."

In the pitch-black universe, artillery fire roared and energy beams intertwined into a web of death.

The Mo family's transport fleet was caught in a dilemma under the fierce attack of the interstellar pirates. Flames flickered on the hulls and alarms shrilly resounded throughout the bridge.

"Report! Ship No. 3 is seriously damaged, requesting support!"

"Ship No. 5 has lost power and is being surrounded by enemy ships!"

Bad news kept coming, and the fleet commander's forehead was covered in sweat. However, he remained calm and decisively ordered: "Concentrate firepower and attack the enemy flagship! All ships, initiate emergency evasive procedures!"

Although the Mo family fleet was at a disadvantage, they were well-trained and coordinated well. Under the command of the commander, they stubbornly resisted the pirates' attack.

The artillery fire exploded in the void, forming a gorgeous energy vortex that shattered nearby meteorites and asteroids.

At the same time, in the Mo family manor, Wen Nuan was holding a video conference with several interstellar trading partners.

She sat elegantly at the conference table, talking freely and striving for every possible opportunity for cooperation.

Suddenly, the communicator rang, and the fleet commander's anxious voice came: "Madam, we are under attack by space pirates, the situation is critical!"

Wen Nuan's face changed and she immediately ended the meeting. She quickly walked to Mo Han and reported the battle situation to him.

A cold glint flashed in Mo Han's eyes, and he said in a deep voice, "It seems that someone doesn't want us to have an easy life." He held her warm hand tightly and gave her a reassuring look, "Don't worry, I will take care of everything."

Mo Han quickly mobilized the family's elite forces and prepared to go to support the fleet.

Just as he was about to leave, Wen Nuan grabbed his sleeve, her eyes full of worry: "You have to be careful."

Mo Han smiled gently and stroked her cheek lightly: "Don't worry, I will be back soon." He leaned over and kissed her forehead, turned around and strode out of the manor.

Looking at Mo Han's departing back, Wen Nuan's heart was filled with uneasiness. She walked to the window, looked at the starry sky, and silently prayed for his safe return.

At this time, a young scientist hurried into the hall and said to Wen Nuan excitedly, "Madam, I...I found..." He suddenly stopped, hesitated for a moment, then leaned close to Wen Nuan's ear and whispered, "I found a hole in the pirate battleship's shield..."

Wen Nuan's eyes lit up, and she immediately realized the importance of this discovery.

She quickly summoned the fleet commander and conveyed this crucial information to him.

After receiving the news, the commander immediately adjusted his tactics and ordered all ships to concentrate their firepower on attacking the loopholes in the pirate flagship's shield.

The Mo family fleet's artillery fire poured out like a rainstorm, accurately hitting the weak points of the pirate flagship's shield.

The originally indestructible shield began to flicker under the continuous attack and finally shattered.

Without the protection of the shield, the pirate flagship was like a lamb to be slaughtered. Under the fierce fire of the Mo family fleet, the hull began to vibrate violently, flames shot into the sky, and finally turned into cosmic dust with a loud bang.

With the flagship destroyed, the morale of the pirate group collapsed instantly, and the remaining warships began to fall apart, and were destroyed one by one by the Mo family fleet.

The balance of victory began to tilt towards the Mo family.

Just when the Mo family fleet was about to achieve final victory, a mysterious force suddenly appeared on the battlefield.

This force was like an invisible giant hand, pushing the Mo family's warships away and disrupting the battlefield situation.

The remaining ships of the pirate group took the opportunity to escape and disappeared into the vast starry sky.

Mo Han's warship was also affected by this force and began to shake violently.

He held the handrail tightly and looked ahead with a serious expression.

That mysterious power was powerful and strange, making him feel a little uneasy.

"What...what kind of power is this?" the crew on the bridge shouted in horror.

Mo Han took a deep breath, suppressed the uneasiness in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "Contact Wen Nuan immediately and report the situation here to her."

At the same time, in the Mo family manor, Wen Nuan also felt the fluctuation of this mysterious power.

Her face changed and she felt an ominous premonition in her heart.

"Mo Han..." She murmured softly, her eyes full of worry.

At this moment, the communicator rang, and Mo Han's voice came: "Nuannuan, we are in trouble..."

Before he could finish his words, the communication was suddenly cut off, and only a snowflake remained on the screen.

Wen Nuan's heart sank suddenly, she gripped the communicator tightly, her face pale as paper.

"Someone!" she shouted. "Activate maximum alert immediately! Prepare for battle!"

She walked to the window and looked at the starry sky, with a determined light in her eyes.

"No matter who it is, if he dares to hurt Mo Han, I will never let him go!"
