Chapter 293 What he wanted was not compensation at all!
Tan Chi's lips twitched, and he decisively stood up, grabbed Letekar who was sitting in the chair, and kissed him right in front of Yuriel. "What are you looking at? As if no one doesn't have a queen? My queen is the best in the world! Look again and I'll gouge your eyes out!"
The best way to turn an enemy into a friend is to become one of his kind.
Uriel: "..."
Mien: "..."
Letekar: "..."
Fortunately, Tan Chi had been thoroughly "assimilated," and Yuriel's initial look of disgust towards him had also subsided.
Tan Chi scanned Yuriel with his mental power, his gaze landing on Yuriel's legs.
He remembered that the original book mentioned that Uriel's legs had deteriorated gradually since childhood.
Based on his years of experience reading books, it should be either poisoning or... a conspiracy.
So while he was checking on Yuriel, he also took the opportunity to examine him with his mental power.
When he looked at the results, he was utterly speechless.
Because Yuriel's legs were completely bound by his own mental power.
That's right, his own mental strength.
The spiritual energy enveloping him had turned his legs into calluses.
It was precisely because his mental strength level was F that no insects were detected at all.
Tan Chi's lips twitched involuntarily. He looked at Yuriel's legs, then at Yuriel again.
With such solid mental strength, according to their Zerg's system, it should be at least an A+, if not an A, but it was tested as an F?
For a moment, he didn't know who to sympathize with.
However, Tan Chi doesn't plan to tell Yuriel right now, as he's not sure whether the guy is good or bad.
After all, the danger level of a paralyzed rabid dog is not the same as that of a healthy rabid dog.
He'd better observe whether the new dog trainer, Mien, could handle Yuriel before making a decision.
As for Yuriel, let him stay in a wheelchair for now. It's not like he's been in one or two years, so it won't hurt to stay in one for a while longer.

Meanwhile, at the Lanetta family home.
When Acosta woke up, he saw Michele holding him, and he was almost jolted.
Why is it Michele in his arms, not Mien?
But he soon realized what was going on.
Mien is gone, only Michele remains.
His eyelids drooped slightly as he looked at Michelle's profile in his arms, then fell silent again.
Michele, who had been nestled in Acosta's arms, had actually been awake for a while, but he was worried that Acosta would deny it, so he had been pretending to be asleep.
In his previous life, he wouldn't have had such concerns at all.
It's all Mien's fault. If he hadn't seduced Acosta, he wouldn't have called Mien's name when they were doing *that*!
Now that Acosta is awake, he certainly can't continue pretending to be asleep.
Michelle's eyelashes fluttered, as if he had woken her up, and she slowly opened her eyes.
Then, as if he had just remembered something, he suddenly pulled the blanket tighter, "Ah, Lord Acosta, sob sob sob..."
He didn't say anything after that, and then he started crying pitifully.
"Don't cry."
Acosta was about to raise his hand when he realized he had nothing on him.
He reacted as if he had been burned, frantically pulling the blanket over himself.
“Michele! I, I really didn’t mean to! I don’t know how this happened, I…”
As he finished speaking, something suddenly flashed through his mind.
Just as Acosta was about to grab it, Michele suddenly grabbed his wrist.
“Your Excellency Acosta, I can tell you were in a bad mood yesterday, which I understand. You don’t need to blame yourself too much.”
Although Michele said that, her tears fell even more fiercely.
He knew better than any insect what had happened last night.
His heart started pounding as soon as he saw Acosta suddenly deep in thought.
He absolutely cannot let him discover that there was something wrong with last night's nectar water.
Once tonight is over, even if Acosta realizes what's happening, there will be no evidence left.
Acosta opened his mouth, looking at Michele's pitiful appearance, his mind buzzing.
Last night, he didn't know what was wrong with him, he just confusedly mistook Michelle for Mien.
He felt that something was off, but he couldn't figure out what it was.
Seeing this, Michele immediately raised her teary eyes, "Sir, why don't we hand this matter over to the Male Insect Protection Association for investigation? You seemed a bit off last night, could it be... could it be that an insect poisoned you? I know you certainly don't want to do that..."
His voice grew softer as he spoke, but his face still held that trusting expression.
Acosta frowned slightly. Looking at Michele's pitiful appearance, he opened his mouth, but ultimately shook his head.
For a fleeting moment, he did have some doubts about Michele, but seeing his insistence on getting to the bottom of things, he abandoned his suspicions.
If he really was behind this, why would he dare to ask the male insect protection association to investigate?
Even if it has nothing to do with him, going to the male insect protection association will still be a huge hassle!
Sure enough, he was so heartbroken yesterday that he mistook Michelle for Mien...
A huge sense of guilt almost instantly overwhelmed Acosta.
He took a deep breath, his voice low and hoarse, "No need, it was indeed my fault."
Acosta rubbed his temples wearily. "I will compensate you and give you enough star coins, or if there is anything you want, you can tell me and I will try my best to fulfill it."
Michele's tears were still flowing, but her gentle mask almost cracked open.
Compensation? What he wants is not compensation at all!
He wants Acosta to marry him!
But he couldn't say it directly.
Acosta has already decided that he was in the wrong, and if he keeps pestering him to take responsibility, it will only make him seem suspicious.
Michele could only swallow her anger. "Sir, I asked you for help late last night, and I bear some responsibility for this. I don't need your compensation; I just hope you'll still be my friend in the future."
Since he can't take down Acosta in one fell swoop, he can only play the long game and catch the big fish slowly.
Seeing how sensible he was, Acosta felt even more guilty.
Especially when Michele was looking down, presenting him with the half of her face that resembled Mien's, he felt even more uncomfortable.
Now that Mien is gone, he has no chance to be kind to her even if he wanted to.
In that case, he could place all his hopes for Mien on Michele.
Since that kind of thing has already happened between them, it can be considered as fulfilling his dream in a roundabout way.
He couldn't let down such a kind insect as Michele. He would treat him well in the future, which would be a way of repaying the kindness Mien had shown him back then.
As Acosta thought this, his gaze toward Michele softened even more than before.
