Chapter 476 Injustice!
[This is insane! Holy crap! Holy crap! Holy crap! Holy crap! My eyes!! My eyes!!!]
[User 894793589: Three males and one female?! What a terrifying lineup!]
[Guatianguagua: Major General Simon truly lives up to her reputation as a female military officer; her stamina... her presence... I'm totally blown away!]
[Wait a minute! Isn't that Lord Hader playing Jenga?! Isn't he supposed to be aloof from insects? He's actually... playing these kinds of games in private?!]
[User who wants to remain anonymous: The person upstairs is missing the point! The point is, this is the Thomas family's lounge! Those males are all males who have a good relationship with the Thomas family! So that's why they're so close!!!]
[Users want to be associated with Gua: Goodness, the Thomas family is in real turmoil!]
[User 3276542: Hahaha, look at Lord Hader's father next to him, his face has turned green! He looks like he's about to have a heart attack!]
...
The internet is in complete chaos, and reality isn't much better.
After a moment of deathly silence, the discussion erupted.
"My God... This is absolutely shameless!"
"Has Simon gone mad?! Provoking three male insect lords at the same time! And in this way at that!"
"Is that the point?! The point is that it happened at the royal banquet! In Thomas's own lounge! They've completely disregarded the dignity of the royal family and all of us nobles!"
"I knew they'd disappeared! Turns out they were having a... silver party?!"
"The Thomas family is completely finished this time; their reputation is ruined!"
"It's not just about reputation. Look at the faces of those family representatives. They're probably ready to tear Major General Simon apart!"
...
Seeing the scene spiraling out of control, the Insect King took a deep breath. "Silence! Everyone, calm down. Haven't any of you noticed that something is wrong with these gentlemen?"
His powerful aura instantly silenced the scene.
Seeing this, the Insect King continued, "This matter occurred within the palace, and I will definitely investigate it thoroughly and give everyone an explanation!"
After saying this, he turned his gaze to the attendant beside him, "Go and investigate what happened here during this period of time, and also investigate what these gentlemen said. I want to see who dares to use such despicable means in the inner palace!"
All the insects were intimidated by the Insect King's aura, and they involuntarily did as he said.
Seeing that the surrounding insects had calmed down considerably, the Insect King continued, "001, go and clean up the scene..."
Then he turned to the house insects of the male insects and said, "After 001 has settled these male insects, you can go and take care of yourselves. Everything at the scene now could be a clue, so don't go in for the time being."
The mechanical insect could only nod repeatedly, watching helplessly as it swung its arm and went inside.
It nimbly walked to the bedside, and in full view of everyone, extended its mechanical arm and precisely struck Simon on the back of the neck, knocking him down.
Next, the mechanical insect lifted the sheet and deftly wrapped the several male insects on the bed, which had been rubbed raw, into silkworms, then neatly stacked them on the carpet in the corner of the room.
The whole process was so efficient that it even had a strangely calm feel to it.
Many nobles present couldn't help but twitch their lips as they watched the mechanical insect's professional operation.
Not long after, two female soldiers dressed in the uniforms of the Royal Guard escorted a pale-faced insect servant over.
They pressed him down heavily in front of the Insect King, and the head attendant bowed and reported, "Your Majesty, after preliminary investigation, this insect is highly suspicious. During the banquet, he was in charge of the fruit and drink area. After the problem occurred there, he tried to escape from the palace."
Then the servant took out a vacuum-sealed bag.
"These are the items found on him. There are still drug powder residues inside. Preliminary tests show that the contents match the drug components detected in Major General Simon's body!"
The Insect King looked down at the servant insect who was almost collapsing to the ground, his voice icy, "Speak! Who ordered you to poison the banquet?!"
The insect servant was so frightened that it was scared out of its wits and dared not lie.
He practically cried out, "I didn't drug Major General Simon, Your Majesty! I'm innocent!! I... I was ordered... ordered to drug Lord Bass!"
That spiked juice was originally meant for Lord Bass, so how did it end up being drunk by Major General Simon?
He's still completely baffled!
He clearly saw Lord Bass drink it with his own eyes. Could it be that when he threw away the packaging, the fruit drink was taken away by another insect?
The nobles present were in an uproar, and the discussions rose like a tidal wave.
"What?! The target is Lord Bass! Is this a move aimed at the royal family?"
"Who dares to be so audacious?! To actually try to scheme against the Insect King's lord using such despicable means!"
"No wonder! I knew that no matter how crazy Simon was, he wouldn't attract three male insects at the same time. It turns out it was the effect of the drugs!"
"This is terrifying! If it weren't for this twist of fate, Lord Bass might be lying inside right now!"
"We absolutely cannot let the mastermind behind this get away with it!"
...
The words of the servant insect were like another bombshell detonated on the spot, driving both the insects at the scene and in the live broadcast room crazy!
What exactly is going on?
Is there really so much complexity involved in a palace banquet?
The comments section on StarNet exploded, with conspiracy theories running rampant.
[Holy crap! The target is the Insect King's ruler! Is this some kind of palace coup?!]
[The same old rascal: It's terrifying to think about! If His Excellency Bass were to fall victim to this, the royal family's reputation would be completely ruined!]
[User 9888888: It's definitely the Thomas family! Simon is from the Thomas family! They want to kill two birds with one stone! They want to ruin the royal family's reputation and let Simon take the opportunity to rise to power!]
[The Empire's Number One Handsome Bug: There might be other forces involved! This must be thoroughly investigated!]
[Interstellar Challenge: Severely Punish This Servant! Expose the Mastermind!]
...
The Insect King's fury was almost tangible; he slammed his hand on the pillar beside him, his voice carrying the rage of thunder.
"Well done! What a brilliant scheme! You dare to plot against me, the mighty emperor! Speak! Who ordered you to do this?!"
Just then, Bass emerged from behind the swarm of insects, his face showing just the right amount of confusion. "What's going on here? Why is it so noisy?"
He looked at the enraged Insect King and stepped forward to put his arm around his waist. "What's wrong, Your Majesty? Why are you so angry?"
The gossipers around, who were already eager for gossip, couldn't wait to start talking when they saw the "main character" arrive.
"Lord Bass, you have no idea, there's an insect trying to harm you! No, to poison you!"
