Mo Baoke wasn't bothering to hide his frustration anymore; he was fed up with Amocadi who kept pestering him for compensation. And since he couldn't afford to upset Su Mo, he had to flatter him instead.
To understand the situation better, consider that not even General Figerl himself would treat a substitute team member with anything less than equal respect. That showed just how high Su Mo's status was.
"Captain Mo Baoke, Su Mo has arrived."
Zhao Bo observed Mo Baoke's imposing demeanor, and with a quick flicker in his eyes, he promptly reminded him.
Upon hearing this, Mo Baoke turned to look at Su Mo and instantly switched to a fawning smile, saying, "Ah, Su Mo, what brings you here?"
Suppressing his discomfort, Su Mo replied, "I've come to join the Scavenger operation."
"Oh my, such trivial scavenging work doesn't require your personal touch! You should just stay on the ship. And don't worry, I'll make sure to fill out your task settlement form very well for you later."
