Chapter 389 Isn't this a bit of a double standard?
Not many insects know about this, but... everyone knows.
"As for Had, Michael has been in contact with him recently, and I reckon his time in trouble isn't far off."
Timothy looked at Roronoa with a half-smile, "Haven't you noticed that in this life, whoever gets close to Michele is doomed? First Leo, then me."
He paused here, "As for you? First, your pirate crew was hunted down by other pirates, then you were sent to a military prison, and finally ended up on the black market as a commodity on the auction stage..."
Roronoa: "..."
He desperately wanted to refute Timothy, but couldn't find a single word to say in rebuttal.
He recalled the glory of his past life and his current wretchedness; the stark contrast forced him to believe Timothy's words.
He lowered his head, looked at his disheveled reflection in the water, and finally nodded. "Alright, I'll join forces with you! We'll take down the Lanetta family together."
That way, he'll at least have a place to settle down and make a living, right?
The next morning, the morning sunlight streamed through the window.
Tan Chi was adjusting Letekar's cuffs when he heard a knock on the door.
The mechanical insect circling the two insects immediately reported, "It's Prince Eli. Should we invite him in?"
Tan Chi frowned in confusion, but still nodded at the mechanical insect, "Yes, let him in."
The mechanical bug immediately ran to the door and welcomed Eli in.
“The military has already granted you leave.” Eli’s brows were furrowed, and even his voice was lower than usual. “I have something important to tell you.”
Tan Chi's heart skipped a beat. Looking at Eli's eyes, which were clearly covered with dark circles, he also became nervous.
He waved to the mechanical insect and said, "001, go and prepare some honey water."
It's best to drink some water first thing in the morning to calm your nerves.
After saying this, he took Eli to the living room.
Tan Chi pondered to himself, could something have happened at the palace that could make Eli so emotionally unstable?
No, if something happened at the palace, Eli would have sent him and Letecar directly into the palace, instead of coming to him separately.
Is there a problem with the military?
Could it be that something has happened to Michele again?
Tan Chi suddenly remembered what he had written in that book yesterday, and his brows furrowed.
If what's written in the book can really limit Michele, then is he going to reveal some kind of cheat ability again?
As Tan Chi pondered this, he sat down on the sofa in the living room.
"Brother, has something happened at the military headquarters?"
As soon as the three insects sat down, Tan Chi couldn't help but ask a question.
Eli pursed his lips, seemingly considering how to bring it up.
He pondered for a moment, and then the mechanical insect delivered the nectar.
"Your Highness Eli, please moisten your throat first. 001 detected that you seem a bit tense, so we've added some daisy extract to the honey tea. Drinking some should help calm you down~"
Eli paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "Thank you, 001."
After saying that, he brought the cup to his lips and drank most of it.
Whether it was psychological or not, Eli did feel much more relaxed.
But his fingers were still unconsciously rubbing the rim of the teacup.
“Yesterday, Roronoa was sent back by Lanetta,” he paused, as if organizing his thoughts, “you know, the military planted a tracker and a listening device inside him.”
Tan Chi narrowed his dark eyes. "So you heard Roronoa and Laneta yesterday..."
Eli's lips twitched. "What are you thinking? Do you think I'm such a boring bug?"
Besides, Roronoa and Laneta, listen to that, is this a couple that even insects can accept?
It's so spicy!
With Tan Chi's interruption, Eli actually relaxed.
He took a deep breath and slowly asked, "Do you believe that insects can be reborn?"
Tan Chi almost spilled the honey water he was holding.
Did Eli discover Michele's secret to rebirth?
He was about to speak when he saw Eli gulp down another mouthful of nectar water. "Timothy and Roronoa, those two bugs! They're both reborn!"
Letekar: "..."
Tan Chi: "..."
They exchanged glances, then looked at Eli.
"Did they say it when the two insects were communicating?" Tan Chi asked cautiously to Eli, who was tense.
He had only guessed that Michele was reborn, but he never expected that Roronoa and Timothy were also reborn.
Good grief, did they come here as a group to be reborn?
He thought of the line he had written in the book yesterday. Could it be because of him?
If the price for weakening Michele's aura is the rebirth of Timothy and Roronoa, then that's truly a mess.
If they still had feelings for Michele in their previous lives, they might actually join forces to help him.
Tan Chi can only be thankful that he dealt with Timothy and Roronoa so decisively back then.
Otherwise, if these two insects were to regain their past life memories while they were at the height of their power, it would definitely be a ticking time bomb for them!
Eli listened to Tan Chi's words and couldn't help but nod. "They said it in great detail, saying that... in the previous life, five male insects married Michaeli, a sub-female, and that guy even became the insect king!"
This is absolutely outrageous!
Doesn't their royal family have any insects?
Why should a completely unrelated sub-female be made the queen insect?
Are all the nobles dead?
Surprisingly, no insects came out to refute it?
When he pulled out the recorder, his fingers trembled slightly with anger. "If it weren't for the recording, I would have suspected that I had hysteria."
Tan Chi's eyes narrowed slightly, and he fell silent for a moment.
What Eli was talking about was just part of the plot of the novel he had read.
They just said it so easily?
Why was it so difficult for him to be honest with his wife back then?
Isn't this a bit of a double standard?
Tan Chi pursed his lips speechlessly, then looked at Eli, "So after they regained their past life memories, they want to join forces to assist Michelle?"
He was curious to know what else these two male insects, who had been sold on the black market, had to offer!
Eli shook his head in surprise. "On the contrary, they want to control the Lanetta family, so they plan to get rid of Michele, this stumbling block..."
He was speechless when he heard this.
He thought that they had gone through thick and thin together in their past life, and that they would continue their relationship in this life.
Unexpectedly, not only did none of them want to acknowledge Michele, but they also felt that she was in their way!
Tan Chi almost burst out laughing, but quickly covered it up with a cough.
So this is the effect of weakening the protagonist's halo?
