As General Duan Qing finished speaking, no one responded to him at the conference table or on the video screen.
Those in the Hunting Legion who knew that Jiang Jiang Baby was the Madam watched their commander through the video and couldn't help but mourn for General Duan Qing for a second. For the remaining 99 seconds, they wondered if he had committed any crimes such as embezzlement or bribery. If so, he was doomed!
Seeing that no one responded, General Duan Qing glanced around and then looked at the people in the video: "Everyone, am I wrong? Many of you have already speculated that Jiang Jiang's ex-husband is at least a general in the Hunting Legion. You can easily find out who Jiang Jiang's ex-husband is by checking how many generals the Hunting Legion has."
“If we find her ex-husband, we can find her. If we find her, we can find the newly promoted 7th-level plant therapist, and we can also invite Mr. Gong Ming, the teacher of Jiang Jiang’s baby, over.”
"In this way, we will have two level 7 plant healers, and our mental strength and genetic damage will be treated most effectively."
"As for Jiang Jiang, she can grow vegetables, natural and unmutated food. We can arrange a position for her to grow vegetables for us. Doesn't that sound great?"
The scene was silent. Whether it was the people at the conference table or those on the video, no one dared to breathe loudly, and they all watched the marshal cautiously.
Agares's face was cold and handsome, his dark eyes as deep as an abyss. His deep voice rose slightly as he asked, "What if my darling Jiang Jiang doesn't come?"
General Duan Qing rolled his eyes and said, "If we find out she won't come, Marshal, you can give an order to have her ex-husband persuade her. Even a day as husband and wife is worth a hundred days of kindness. They've slept in the same bed, so it's always easier to talk to her."
Agares feigned sudden realization: "I see, General Duan Qing, you're right. Is there anything else?"
Upon hearing the marshal's question, General Duan Qing turned to the side, his gaze intense: "There's also the fact that everyone in the entire interstellar space possesses mental power, a genetic issue. Only our empire has two level 7 plant healers."
“We can use these two plant healers to negotiate with other countries and treat their leaders to maximize our benefits. In this way, our empire will prosper.”
Agares slowly raised his hand from the table and clapped his hands. His dark eyes looked at General Duan Qing: "General Duan Qing, you truly deserve to be a general for 50 years. Your thoughts and words are beyond my expectations. So, how long do you plan to live?"
General Duan Qing was stunned for a moment, unsure of what the marshal meant. But seeing that the marshal still had that expressionless, dead face, he boldly said, "I am 150 years old this year. If my genetic and mental breakdowns are cured, I can live to at least 260. I can serve the empire for another hundred years."
"Indeed, General Duan Qing's dedication to the Empire is a model for us all." Agares stopped slapping. "To reward General Duan Qing, the Empire has summoned Jiang Jiang and the new 7th-tier plant healer to come and treat your family and friends as well. What do you say as a perk?"
General Duan Qing was overjoyed upon hearing this: "That would be perfect..."
Agares's deep, icy voice interrupted him: "I think you want to die!"
General Duan Qing's body jolted, only then realizing that the entire conference room was as cold as an ice cellar, the atmosphere as stiff as stone, and everyone was looking down at the documents in their hands, not daring to look up.
"Marshal...I..."
Agares raised his slender fingers to stop his explanation, a barely perceptible smirk playing on his lips: "Today, thanks to General Duan Qing, I realize that as an Imperial Marshal, I have so many privileges, and I also know that the laws of the Empire are not worth mentioning in front of General Duan Qing."
"I understand even more now that ordinary people are not worthy of, and have no right to, receiving treatment. Only people like General Duan Qing, who serve the country with utmost dedication and selflessness until their dying breath, and their families, are worthy of receiving treatment."
General Duan Qing tried to stand up, but the pressure and intimidation from the marshal made his legs tremble so badly that he couldn't stand up at all. His feet, which were on the ground, trembled uncontrollably.
Agares tapped the personal terminal a few times, then stood up, walked to General Duan Qing's side, placed one hand on the table and the other on the back of General Duan Qing's chair, and bent down: "General Duan Qing, as an Imperial General, you knowingly broke the law and even instigated others to break the law with me."
General Duan Qing's face was deathly pale, his lips trembling, and he stammered as he tried his best to explain, "Marshal, I was doing this for everyone..."
“No, you did it for yourself.” Agares’ voice was neither loud nor soft, but carried an undeniable authority: “You did it for yourself, you did it for your family, you instigated me to break the law, you instigated me to use my marshal’s privileges to imprison my wife to farm for you, to provide for you exclusively. Not bad, your courage is commendable!”
