Chapter 185 How dare they attack a male insect?
Letekar: "..."
Although he didn't know why, every time he was praised by Tan Chi in such a continuous manner, he would feel his cheeks burning, and he even felt a little afraid to look at Tan Chi.
Seeing the tips of Letekar's red ears, Tan Chi couldn't help but hug the female insect in his arms even tighter. "Is there anything you need my help with?"
He figured that since Lettkar had said that, he couldn't avoid talking about him, otherwise he wouldn't have confessed so readily.
Letekar nodded. "My lord, I need your cooperation a little..."
Then he simply told Tan Chi his idea. He originally thought that Tan Chi would ask him some more questions, but to his surprise, he agreed without even thinking about it.
Now Letekar hesitated. "My Lord, aren't you afraid something might go wrong?"
Tan Chi shook his head. "I believe you. Besides, even if something goes wrong, the powerful leader will cover for you. Don't worry~"
“My lord…you are so kind…” Letekar’s eyes reddened even more.
Upon hearing this, Tan Chi chuckled and pinched his cheek, "If you work even harder tonight, the Lord can do even better."
"..."
...
Previously, due to repeated reports on the StarNet of the Second Legion's lax discipline, the Empire's male insects suffered damage.
Many insects boycotted the Thomas family as a result, causing their business to plummet.
The once prosperous Thomas family found themselves in dire financial straits in a very short time.
Most of the female soldiers in the Thomas family had previously joined the military, and the family business was mostly managed by female soldiers.
Their family has more members than the royal family, so their business is doing quite well.
However... now that the bugs on the StarNet have caused such a commotion, the Thomas family is not only being targeted by bugs, but their businesses are also being boycotted.
Simon almost cursed when he found out!
So he directly sent insects to keep an eye on the First Legion's movements, just waiting to find something to use against them so he could leak a big bombshell into the StarNet.
In particular, Lutkar's unusual behavior that day made many insects on the StarNet restless.
Simon certainly didn't want to miss this great opportunity, but he never expected that the bug that came to report would bring such good news!
"Are you sure Eli and his group are going to the auction to buy an asteroid? And which asteroid did they decide on in advance?"
The subordinate nodded. "Yes, yes, I'm sure. But we'll have to wait until Michele and Major General Letekar meet again to find out."
Although their insects were constantly tracking the First Legion's insects, they dared not get too close to Letkar's side.
So after they left the fruit drink shop, their insects obtained the video of the fruit drink shop under the pretext of something else.
Only then did they realize what Leterkat had said.
"They always thought the Lanetta family could get resources that other insects didn't know about. They always thought it was because the Lanetta family was lucky. Now it seems that the insect Michele is too cunning."
Simon chuckled coldly, glanced at Letekar in the video who had been easily fooled, and felt much better about the resentment in his heart.
The bug that had been making him feel so stifled was finally done for!
To be completely fooled by a sub-female and still want to return to the First Legion is simply delusional!
Simon's lips curled up, his mood improving considerably. "Since the royal family wants to bid on that asteroid, I'll make sure they don't get their way!"
They all knew the importance of mineral resources.
Previously, they would auction off some mineral veins that seemed like sure-fire money, but these veins were expensive, and even if they won the auction, they wouldn't make much money.
If it weren't for the military's weapons development and use, they wouldn't want to buy such a poor-value mineral resource.
They just didn't expect that this time, when they were feeling sleepy, a helpful opportunity would come their way.
If he doesn't take this opportunity to suppress the arrogance of the royal family, they probably won't take their Second Legion seriously!
Simon immediately made the decision, "We must bid for the asteroid they selected at this auction, no matter what. Go and investigate thoroughly to make sure you confirm what they're bidding on!"
The subordinate immediately nodded, "Yes, General!"
When Simon thought about the auction, if Eli knew that the asteroid they wanted to auction was the same as theirs, he certainly wouldn't have let it go.
Previously, the Thomas family's wealth was comparable to that of the royal family.
But recently, I don't know what kind of fortune the royal family has made, but money has been flowing into the royal treasury like water.
They clearly can't compete with the royal family.
Therefore, to ensure the success of this auction, we need to find a way to prevent Eli and his group from participating.
Or even if they were allowed to attend the auction, they might not be able to come up with enough funds to purchase the mineral resources they wanted.
Simon's shrewd eyes darted around before he asked again, "Do you have any way to disqualify Eli from this auction?"
Several subordinates frowned and racked their brains for a solution.
Suddenly, a subordinate spoke up timidly, "His Highness Eli is most fond of his younger brother. If something were to happen to the Second Prince..."
As soon as he said that, the entire office fell silent.
Soon after, one of the insects was the first to react.
"That's the Empire's only S-class male insect! What if we accidentally kill it?!"
"Yes, male insects are too fragile. If we accidentally kill one, the royal family might fight us to the death with the military."
"Even if the Second Prince is not dead but injured, if the royal family finds something to use against him, we'll be in big trouble."
...
They simply wanted to gain more power in their own hands, not to break with the empire or commit treason...
Therefore, they dared not even think about kidnapping or harming the male insects of the imperial family.
It's fortunate that someone dared to bring it up.
Everyone unanimously despised the bug who had just made the suggestion.
How dare they attack a male insect?
After everyone chimed in with their own opinions, the situation returned to square one.
"Now, it seems that besides the Second Prince, the only other insects who could make Prince Eli leave despite the auction are the other two who have been too close to him, right?"
"Isn't that a male insect?"
“There are differences between male insects, okay! One is the only S-level male insect in the entire interstellar space, while the other two are male insects from less prestigious backgrounds. That’s a huge difference.”
"That seems to be the case. Although there aren't many A-grade male insect empires, there are still a few A-grade male insects born each year. As long as their families aren't particularly capable, this isn't something they can't do..."
...
Besides, they only wanted to capture the insect to scare Eli; they weren't really going to kill the male insect...
