Partner abuse

Eugene stared at the communicator anxiously, and the screen kept showing that it could not connect to Knox.

Originally, Knox had been in close contact with him, but since he successfully contacted the people on Caster Island, he cut off all contact with Eugene as if he had disappeared from the face of the earth.

At this moment, Eugene was on a desolate planet at the edge of the star chain, surrounded by a dead desert scene.

He waited in this hellish place for two days, but never received any signal from Knox.

This unusual situation made Eugene feel even more uneasy.

At this time, Eugene's adjutant quietly approached and asked in a low voice: "Sir, is this informant you mentioned really trustworthy?"

In this army, no one except Eugene knows Knox's true identity.

Everyone thought Knox was just an ordinary person who traded information in a gray area, and the reliability of such people was usually difficult to guarantee.

Therefore, the adjutant was very worried about whether the operation could be carried out smoothly, fearing that the entire plan would be thwarted due to the unreliability of the informant.

The fact that Caster Island could not be found was not too worrying in itself, but the truly terrifying thing was being betrayed by one's own people and then falling into a joint encirclement by interstellar mercenaries and vicious pirates.

If that happens, disaster will be imminent.

Thinking of this, the adjutant's face unconsciously showed anxiety, and he asked Eugene anxiously: "Sir, given the current situation, should we immediately change our original plan and retreat early?"

But Eugene's eyes were fixed on the communicator used to keep in touch with Knox, but the communicator seemed to have lost its signal and there was no response.

Time passed minute by minute. After about two minutes, Eugene finally broke the silence. He said slowly with an extremely serious expression, "I'm afraid he's in trouble. We must launch a rescue operation immediately. We can't just leave like this!"

Upon hearing this, the adjutant's eyes widened, his face filled with confusion. He quickly asked, "Sir, are we really going to take such a big risk for a small informant who's just responsible for buying and selling intelligence?"

Facing the adjutant's question, Eugene's expression grew even more serious. He replied firmly, "This person is extremely important to us. He is definitely not an informant in the ordinary sense."

In fact, in the past, with Eugene's usual cold-blooded style, he might not care about the life or death of someone like Knox.

But now it's different. Knox is already Anrita's male partner, and he also helped a lot in the Dark Forest. He is now in the same group with Eugene and the others, and they are considered a family.

If Eugene did not save him, I'm afraid his wife would hate him.

Eugene couldn't bear the consequences. He couldn't even imagine how terrible it would be if his wife hated him.

Eugene stared straight ahead with a sharp gaze, and said in an unquestionable tone:

"Immediately take people to confirm the coordinates provided by the informant and organize a vanguard team to investigate the scene. I suspect Caster Island is hidden in that area. At the same time, we must carefully investigate the area for any signs of other pirate activities."

As the leader of this team, Eugene's orders are absolutely authoritative and binding.

As a canine army known for its teamwork and unity, the adjutant nodded without hesitation, indicating that he fully understood the mission requirements.

Then, the adjutant turned around and led a group of well-trained soldiers, driving the flying ship quickly towards the place where Knox last contacted them.

At this moment, Valua and others who were far away on the main star, after a long and in-depth investigation, accidentally discovered a list of precious auction items on Caster Island that had been leaked at some point, which instantly attracted everyone's attention.

Begway, who had just finished an important meeting led by cabinet members, looked so gloomy that water seemed to be dripping out of his face.

As he walked quickly, he cursed angrily: "Those damn nobles, one day, I will banish and disband all the armies in their hands!"

In the Prime Star Empire, those traditional old-school nobles all have their own family's private armed forces.

Although these troops are not as good as the imperial army, they are able to act with impunity on the main planet because they have certain weapons.

The incident of Dorothy kidnapping Edmund is a good example.

Begwell said to Charlie:

"Look at them! They're going too far. They're saying Dorothy is just a delicate female who doesn't know what she's doing is wrong, and that Edmund, as a male, shouldn't refuse a female's advances... Ridiculous! Dorothy is a female, not a retard! How could she not know whether what she did was right or wrong? These people are just trying to fool me!"

Charlie's face darkened after hearing these words: "It seems that not only do they not intend to apologize, but they also want to blame Edmund for being ignorant. Do they want Edmund to apologize to them?"

Charlie felt that the people in Dorothy's family had no bottom line.

Charlie frowned and looked at Begway coldly, asking, "Your Highness, what is the focus of their meeting this time? How do they plan to deal with Dorothy?"

Begway's face darkened as he snorted coldly:

"What should we do with her? They don't want to do anything at all. They think Dorothy is innocent and blame us for keeping her in the White Tower. She's been terrified these past few days. They want us to release her immediately, apologize to her, compensate her, hire a psychologist for counseling, and even demand Edmund apologize to her personally. If Dorothy agrees, they'll let Edmund serve as her bodyguard."

The cabinet meeting held today made Begwe, the crown prince, furious!

He had never imagined that these old-school aristocrats could be so domineering.

If he had not been betrayed by his subordinates and had not survived the hardships of returning from the Desolate Star, he would probably still not be able to see the hypocritical and ugly true faces of these nobles.

At this time, Charlie's face was gloomy, and he said to Begway in a firm tone:

"Your Highness, we absolutely cannot compromise on this matter! Although Dorothy is a rare female, her actions have seriously violated the law. I have sent people to investigate her in depth over the past few days, and they discovered that she had kidnapped multiple males before Edmund."

"Except for a few males she marked as mates, most of the others suffered brutal abuse from her, and some of them suffered severe trauma to their spiritual seas and consciousness."

Among the males Charlie surveyed, physical injuries seemed less important than other aspects.

What is shocking is that many people's spiritual seas have been severely damaged, so severely that some people have even shown a significant decline in their important spiritual power.

Charlie's face was solemn, and he said in a serious tone: "This situation constitutes a serious crime of partner abuse."
