Chapter 190 He's the only son left.
"Fine! Very well! They're just some lousy Garwan family! Do they really think they're some noble family?!"
Hines's face darkened, and he looked up at Cano, saying, "You remember this, kid. If you get bullied by other male insects outside, fight back for me, or don't blame me for coming back and beating you up!"
Kano: "..."
He had never been in contact with other male insects before, so how could he know that male insects would bully each other like this?
How could he, as a noble male insect of the empire, know such things?
"Cough cough!" Seeing this, Reeves reached out and pinched Hines' waist.
But how can the strength of a male insect compare to that of a female?
What he just did was practically a massage.
Hines's eyes darkened instantly, but his attitude toward Cano was noticeably more lenient than before.
“I’ll handle the male insect from the Garwan family. If this happens again, remember to tell your father, otherwise other insects will really think the insects from the Reeves family are easy to bully!”
Cano raised an eyebrow, as if recalling something, "When I attended the banquet with Prince Eli before, some insects said that all the insects in our Reeves family are freaks, and that if Prince Eli could take a liking to me, then the other insects would be even more irrelevant..."
Hines' expression changed completely. He looked at Cano with a deep, ambiguous smile and asked, word by word, "Then do you remember which insects said these things to you?"
He knew that his little male was always very clever.
He also has a photographic memory.
Remembering the insect's name shouldn't be a problem, right?
Sure enough, the little male insect nodded. "I remember, Kane's family, Green, Gerrard, and Perez were there!"
He paused, then added, "Oh, right, there's another weird pimp, what's his name... Royaldi?"
Hines: "..."
Reeves: "..."
Very well, these trashy insects outside not only harm their male cricket, but also corrupt their offspring?
The public's current perception of the Reeves family is essentially the same as their perception of Reeves himself.
Because the previous Reeves is as dead as can be.
In addition, the Reeves family usually keeps a low profile, so people's only impression of Reeves is that he rarely leaves the Reeves family and that he has a strange male insect that only knows how to drink honey tea and go to the library.
Hines was certainly aware of the outside comments, but as long as they weren't directed at his master and his offspring, he could turn a blind eye.
But now some insectoids are saying outside that his male lord is a freak?!
Very good, he will let us get to know the Reeves family again!
Hines took a deep breath and looked at Cano with great seriousness, saying, "If any insects say these things in front of you again, remember to come back and tell the female father. The female father guarantees that they will never say such things in front of you again."
After he said that, Cano looked at Hines with obvious disbelief.
"Really?" He raised his eyebrows slightly, a little uncertain.
Hines didn't intend to explain anything, simply replying, "You'll know the result in a while."
Although Cano didn't understand why, Major General Letecar told him to do it, and he had done so. There shouldn't be any major problems, right?
His parents both told him to wait, so he'll wait and see.
Kano slowly stood up, and just as he was wondering whether to go back to his room, he seemed to suddenly remember something, and then turned to look at the two insects sitting on the sofa hugging each other.
Hines, unusually, didn't immediately confront Cano. Instead, he calmly asked, "Is there anything else you want to say?"
When faced with the questioning gazes of the two insects, Kano lowered his head for a while before looking up again and saying, "Well... I'm going to the palace for dinner tonight, and Prince Eli said he'd take me to meet the Insect King."
Hines: "!!!"
Reeves: "!!!"
Good heavens, the best cabbage of the royal family has really been taken by their own pig palace.
They haven't been paying much attention to the relationship between Cano and Eli lately because they all think that Cano's feelings might be... one-sided.
As a former female soldier, Hines knew perfectly well how outstanding Eli was.
He knows his own son's capabilities perfectly well.
A little male insect with no redeeming qualities other than reading books and drinking honey tea.
He had even prepared himself to never find a female mate in his life and just keep this little male insect as a pet.
Unexpectedly, he immediately realized what was going on and gave him a big surprise.
He and Reeves had already planned how to comfort him after he was abandoned by Prince Eli, just like Timothy.
At least prepare a fruit feast for him to soothe his wounded little heart.
Reeves even planned to use his personal savings for this.
After all, most of the family's money was with Hines, and his personal stash consisted of pocket money given to him by Hines.
Aside from buying things on the StarNet, he hasn't spent much money.
There's more than enough money to buy some fruit for the little male insect.
They never expected that their son would become so successful, able to dine with the Insect King.
If it were a regular banquet, it wouldn't be a problem, but this was a private meeting.
Still with Eli!
If they still don't understand what this means, they've lived in vain.
Reeves couldn't resist pinching Hines' waist again, the fire rising in his heart immediately suppressing the shock he had just felt.
He coughed lightly. "Since you're going to see the Insect King, you'll have to bring him some gifts on behalf of the Reeves family."
Hines thought for a moment, "I recently bought two flowering plants at an auction. I heard they are very beautiful crabapple blossoms. Take them to the Insect King as a gift."
In interstellar space, plants are more valuable than jewelry and other precious materials.
Sending green plants is definitely a generous gesture.
Even a small male like Kano, who doesn't usually know much about the outside world, knows what greenery means to their intergalactic world.
Cano was clearly surprised by Hines's generosity. He hesitated for a moment before asking, "Father, Mother... if I give away these two potted plants, our family shouldn't go bankrupt, right?"
For a moment, both insects were speechless.
Although Reeves wasn't in charge of the household, they knew exactly how much money Hines could make.
It's fair to say that without the Lanetta family, the Reeves family would undoubtedly be the wealthiest noble family in the intergalactic world.
The Reeves family has kept a low profile for many years, and the nobility are simply unaware that many of their businesses are operated by the Reeves family.
Of course, it is also related to the descendants of the main line of the Reeves family, Diao Ling.
When it came to Cano, he was the only one left.
Reeves and Hines didn't seem to have any intention of having more insect offspring, so the outside world naturally assumed that the Reeves family had fallen on hard times...
