Chapter 477 He will make all the insects in the royal family pay the price!
"That's right, that's right, it's a good thing you didn't drink that drugged juice, otherwise, tsk tsk..."
"Yes, yes, it's a great relief that His Excellency Bass is safe and sound!"
...
Bass seemed shocked for a moment, then clutched his chest with one hand. "I did take a sip of the juice that the servant insect handed me, but I didn't like the taste, so I didn't drink any more. Afterwards, I felt a little unwell, so I put the cup back on the tray and went to the medical room."
He paused here, "I was worried that other guests might accidentally drink that juice that didn't taste right, so I was just about to ask the waiter in charge about it, but I didn't expect it to turn out like this..."
His gaze swept over the imprisoned servant insect, and he couldn't help but sigh.
When the insect servant saw Bass appear and heard his words, his mental defenses completely collapsed.
Before the Insect King could interrogate him again, he collapsed to the ground, wailing and confessing everything, "It was...it was the Thomas family's insects who found me and gave me a large sum of money and that entertainment stuff! They told me to make sure that Lord Bass drank that stuff at the banquet! As for the rest...I don't know anything else, Your Majesty! Spare me!"
The insects at the scene were quiet for a moment, then couldn't help but start chattering again.
"I never expected it to be the Thomas family! I knew they were at odds with the royal family, but I never imagined they would resort to such vicious methods!"
"Major General Simon brought this upon himself! He tried to be a pest, but ended up harming himself!"
"Serves him right! He coveted a male insect that didn't belong to him!"
"But what about the other males? Could they have been forced by Major General Simon?"
"I wonder if Lord Hader is in the know. Judging from his appearance, it seems like he was forced into it. He's actually quite pitiful..."
"Pitiful? Who knows if he actually likes this kind of thing? Maybe he's nice to female insects just because he doesn't like them?"
“That makes sense! Look at how he acted just now…”
...
The words of the nobles at the scene were relayed to the StarNet, causing the atmosphere on the StarNet to take an even more bizarre turn.
[Ara Ge Bugs: Case solved! Fellow bugs! This is the drama of the Thomas family plotting, Simon carrying out, and ultimately reaping what they sowed!]
[Father, here's your gossip: I have a feeling that Lord Harder might be into male-male relationships? He didn't seem to resist much when he was being folded up? (I didn't, I didn't, don't talk nonsense)]
[User 893475879: You've hit the nail on the head! So, his previous agreement to marry Major General Aaron might have just been a cover for his true sexual orientation?]
[Interstellar Gossip Network: The relationships in this circle are too complicated! The Thomas family is in complete chaos!]
...
As a result, the topic of this incident quickly became the top trending topic on StarNet.
#ThomasFamilySilverParty#
#Young Marshal Simon Bravely Conquers Three Heroes#
#The Secret to His Excellency Hader's Reliance on Number One#
...
The scandals involving the Thomas family topped the trending searches on major platforms at an explosive speed, with each headline more sensational than the last.
The Thomas family, which had hoped to make a comeback after the insects forgot about the scandal, is now completely finished.
...
Because Simon used aphrodisiacs on male insects and harmed three male insects, he was punished for multiple offenses and sent to the Male Insect Protection Association to receive one hundred electric whippings.
Such a severe punishment practically eliminates any possibility of a female soldier continuing to serve in the military.
A week later, Simon was allowed to be released from the male insect protection association.
He staggered down the steps, each movement sending a piercing, excruciating pain through the hundred whip marks on his back.
The damaged area was covered with dried blood and emitted an unpleasant odor.
His once meticulously styled hair was now disheveled, and his eyes burned with humiliation and deep resentment.
If Simon still can't figure out that he's been set up by the royal family, then he's really wasted his life!
The reason he is in such a miserable state is entirely thanks to the royal family!
He wants revenge!
He will make all the royal family's insects pay the price!
Upon seeing this, the confidant who had been waiting outside immediately came forward. Seeing his miserable state, a trace of pity flashed in his eyes.
He reached out to help Simon up, but Simon rudely brushed him away, yelling, "Get out of my way!"
The worm could only stand there and watch Simon, without saying another word.
Simon forced himself to stand up despite the excruciating pain in his back, and asked in a hoarse voice, "How is the family... now?"
He still harbored a sliver of hope, wishing that the public opinion wouldn't have too much of an impact on the Thomas family.
The sycophant lowered his head, not daring to look him in the eye. "Major General... I'm afraid the Thomas family won't last much longer. We're already on the verge of bankruptcy."
"What?!" Simon's eyes widened suddenly, the pain aggravating the wound on his back, causing his vision to go black.
He gripped the treacherous worm's arm tightly. "Bankruptcy?! How could that be! Didn't I tell you to borrow money from that newly opened bank? Where's the money?!"
The worm, though in pain, dared not break free. "Major General, we did take out a loan. But... but because of that banquet incident, the reputation of our Thomas family is completely ruined! The entire StarNet is boycotting our family's businesses, and our previous partners are all terminating their contracts..."
Goods are piling up, and funds are completely tied up!
The bank, seeing the wind blowing, believes that the family is completely unable to repay the loan and has officially sent a letter demanding early repayment of the loan. Otherwise, they will forcibly freeze and divide up the mines that they have mortgaged!
The worm briefly explained what had happened to Simon, but Simon was stunned.
"puff--"
He was so angry that his blood rushed to his head and he spat out a mouthful of blood.
He raised his hand to wipe the bloodstains from his mouth, gritting his teeth fiercely.
He never expected that the bank loan would not become a lifeline for the Thomas family, but rather a death sentence!
Seeing his ferocious expression, the vengeful insect forced himself to continue delivering even worse news.
"Major General, the patriarch is currently throwing a tantrum at the main residence. He... he wants you to resign from your position as Major General in the Second Legion after you return... and he's even found you a marriage partner..."
As he finished speaking, he could clearly feel the chill emanating from Simon.
If Major General Simon knew that the marriage his patriarch had arranged for him was to a nouveau riche male insect from a remote mining planet, he would probably be even more furious.
That male insect had an extremely violent temper, and its previous females all died mysteriously.
This is no secret in interstellar space.
The patriarch probably wanted to use this marriage to obtain financial support from the male insect, so as to barely keep the family running.
Simon sneered, "You want me to give up my position as major general?! And you want to marry me off?!"
