Chapter 264 As expected, he truly lives up to his reputation as a major general.
Before Eli could finish speaking, Letekar blurted out his own words.
This immediately silenced Eli's next words.
Although Kano was already living in the palace, he had to go to work at the military headquarters, so he could only see his little male insect at night.
But if Kano could also go to the military, wouldn't that mean he could see him whenever he wanted?
Eli felt incredibly happy at this thought.
His eyes practically lit up when he looked at Letekar.
As expected of his major general rank, even with amnesia, he can still find the best solution!
The Insect King couldn't help but twitch his lips as he looked at Eli's expression. He finally understood that his two insect offspring had both taken after their father, both being hopelessly love-struck.
He couldn't help but sigh and said, "This is indeed a good idea, but you can discuss the specific arrangements in detail later. After all, two male insects will be staying in the military for a long time. If it's not handled properly, it could easily cause negative public opinion on the StarNet."
As for any negative public opinion, he felt that Eli and Letekar could both anticipate it.
He gave a slight nod, hoping to give the two love-struck fools a little more time to think.
The Insect King's words instantly made Letkar and Eli realize something: it seemed that everyone in the military, except for the two male leaders, was... a female.
Empires have always been dominated by one male and multiple females, so it's not a bad thing to be a little more worried.
As a result, Eli and Lutcal looked at each other with even greater determination.
The male insects they set their sights on will absolutely not be allowed to be touched by other females!
The Insect King sat to the side, watching the two insects' squabbling, and sighed helplessly before continuing, "Alright, now that we've finished discussing this matter, let's talk about other things."
As he spoke, he raised his hand towards Eli, signaling him to briefly summarize what he had to say.
Eli nodded to the Insect King, then slowly said, "The Thomas family is most likely going bankrupt. The mineral resources they bought at a high price have been fully exploited, and the family's other businesses have been secretly attacked by the insects. They probably won't have much left."
Letekar's brow furrowed slightly. "The Second Legion's war supplies are basically all from the Thomas family. If the Thomas family falls, the Second Legion and the Third Legion will probably be no different in the future, right?"
The Third Legion was almost entirely composed of civilian insects, and their military equipment consisted of numerous small groups.
While commoner insects haven't reached the elite circle, there are still quite a few merchant insects among them.
The reason they didn't become nobles was that the title of noble was limited, unless some nobles fell so low that they had to sell their family name for money.
Only wealthy commoners and merchants have the opportunity to become nobles.
What commoners and merchants can buy are mostly minor titles with no real power or territory.
Naturally, it won't cause any tremors.
The Second Legion was previously supported by the powerful noble family of Thomas, which is why it differed from the Third Legion.
Now that the Thomas family has fallen, there's not much difference between the Second and Third Legions.
Eli nodded. "Yeah, I think their reputation is probably not as good as the Third Legion right now. At least the Third Legion doesn't cooperate with space pirates."
Simon is truly remarkable. As an admiral, he actually collaborated with the Roronoa Pirates, and was even exposed by other insectoids.
Tsk tsk...
That felt so good!
Even if Simon and Roronoa had colluded before, as long as the bugs on the StarNet started discussing it, Simon would hire online trolls to suppress the matter.
But now Simon is out of money, and the hype is getting higher and higher, so naturally it's getting out of control.
Eli rested his chin on his hand, seemingly considering the matter.
He paused for a moment before asking again, "Your Highness, can you find the family that bankrupted the Thomas family?"
If this family is part of the royal family of the team, that's fine, but if not, then the controllability is too poor.
Eli's lips pressed into a straight line, and after a moment he slowly spoke, "It should be... done by the Reeves family, but there's absolutely no clue on the surface."
If Tan Chi hadn't previously said he would tell Hines about the matter, he wouldn't have investigated the Reeves family on his own.
They wouldn't know such explosive news.
When Lutecal heard the name "Reeves," he calmed down.
He nodded. "Then there's nothing else."
Seeing that Letkar's expression was calm, the Insect King asked with some doubt, "Major General, aren't you worried that the Reeves family might pose a threat?"
Lutekar shook his head decisively. "The female ruler of the Reeves family is indeed not easy to mess with, but she is very smart. She only cares about her own little corner of the world. If other insects don't bully her, she won't retaliate fiercely."
So far, almost everything he knew about Hines's work was related to Cano and Reeves.
Even the recent collapse of the Thomas family was nothing more than the Thomas family reaping what they sowed.
If Simon hadn't been so foolish as to insist on having the bug drug Cano, wanting to embarrass him...
Or rather, even if it meant disgracing the Reeves family, Hines wouldn't have flipped the table in a fit of anger.
It's estimated that Hines was also behind the collusion between Simon and Roronoa.
He's a seasoned businessman; taking down the Thomas family would be a piece of cake for him.
What's more, it's the Thomas family, which is barely alive.
The Insect King narrowed his eyes thoughtfully. It seemed that his eldest son had indeed found an extraordinary family.

At noon, Michele returned to the Lanetta family and then saw the hysterical Lanetta.
He frowned, trying to avoid Ranetta, but was spotted by the crazed Ranetta.
"Michael?! Where did you go yesterday? Do you know about the problem with the asteroid mineral vein?"
Lanetta stared at Michael with a frenzied expression, his hands gripping Michael's shoulders tightly.
His money is gone, all of it is gone!
He's going to have to live a bleak life in the Lanetta family from now on!
The hard times of having no natural food, only nutrient solution!
Michele's brows furrowed even more. Thinking of the beatings he had suffered at Ranetta's hands in this life, his gaze toward Ranetta was filled with murderous intent.
In his previous life, he sat on the throne of the Insect King. Killing someone was just a matter of a word!
Where else can I feel so stifled and frustrated?
Why should I have to make a living under that useless male, Lanetta?
Michelle took a deep breath. "Father, don't rush into this. We can talk about it slowly..."
