Chapter 347 He'll settle accounts with him one by one sooner or later!
Moreover, according to the butler, Michele overheard Roronoa's news "by accident," and not long after, a bug hurriedly went out.
Upon hearing this, Cano couldn't help but interject, "He went to Ranetta's house? Is Michele trying to beg Ranetta to buy Roronoa?"
“Most likely,” Mien shrugged. “After all, Roronoa was almost captured along with Michele. Even if Michele had to save Roronoa for his own sake, he would have done so.”
Unfortunately, he doesn't have any Star Coins on hand right now, so if he wants to buy Roronoa, he'll have to ask Laneta for help.
Tan Chi tapped the table unconsciously, lost in thought. "The Lanetta family can certainly afford this price, but whether they are willing to pay it is another matter."
Kano muttered to himself, "Will Raneta agree? What use is it for him to buy male insects?"
Tan Chi: "..."
Mien: "..."
There was a brief moment of silence in the office. Tan Chi gently patted Kano's head. "Sweetie, you're still young. Drink more juice, then go pick out a nice ring."
As he spoke, he waved to Mien, signaling him to get some juice for Cano to shut him up.
Mien immediately understood and left the office without stopping.
Kano: "..."
Meanwhile, Michele had already rushed to Ranetta's house.
He paid no attention to anything else and went straight to his father's bedroom after entering the gate.
Michael didn't even notice that the mechanical bug hadn't stopped him at all.
When he pushed open the bedroom door, he was frozen in place by the scene inside.
“You, you guys…” Michaela was completely stunned.
The cloyingly sweet smell was so overwhelming that it almost made Michele lose her composure.
His plump, round father was reclining on a soft couch, cradling a bug he knew all too well—Timothy.
Before his memories of his previous life were restored, he wasn't so deeply moved.
Now that he has memories of his past life, he feels terrible when he sees Timothy again.
In his previous life, he was the powerful and aloof Crown Prince, whose every move exuded a carefully cultivated air of nobility.
But the male insect in front of me, although it still had the same face, was wearing an almost transparent veil.
His gaze toward Ranetta was sticky and ingratiating, and he exuded a worldly air about him, as if he had been pulled out of a nightclub.
Michele felt nauseous and couldn't bear to look at him.
"What are you doing barging in here all of a sudden? Don't you know any manners?!" Lanetta's face darkened almost instantly.
He grabbed something from the table and threw it at Michele, but luckily his hand missed and Michele didn't get a serious head injury.
Michele immediately knelt down, "I'm sorry, Father, I... I just have something urgent to tell you..."
Michele knew he couldn't afford to fall out with Ranetta right now, so he could only keep a friendly smile on his face.
Lanetta was quite impatient at being interrupted, but when he heard Michele say that he had something urgent to say, he could only patiently listen to him.
Lanetta is not what he used to be; the family business now relies on Michele's intellect.
What's more, he's now hooked up with the male beetle in the Graham family.
He frowned in annoyance. "Speak, what's the urgent matter?"
Timothy, nestled in Ranetta's arms, caught a glimpse of Michele unharmed, and a hint of regret flashed in his eyes.
If the First Prince hadn't caught him and Mikaela in such an ambiguous situation, how could the First Prince have given up on him?
They were almost engaged!
If it weren't for Michele constantly seducing him, how could he have ended up in this state?
Timothy felt disgusted at the thought of having to fawn over someone like Ranetta to survive.
Especially now, how dare Michele look at him with such disdain?
Timothy felt a surge of anger and was so angry he wanted to bite his teeth.
He immediately shrank back into Lanetta's arms, but his words were barbed, "Your Excellency, please don't be angry. Michael has become quite successful now, he's practically a female insect in the Graham family. He must be thinking of giving you some big collaboration, right?"
After saying that, he deliberately gave Michele a provocative look.
Michelle felt a tightness in her chest from those words, and wished she could sew Timothy's mouth shut.
He now needs the insect's help, so he has no choice but to endure it.
“Father, the Graham family has been in some trouble lately, so we can't discuss the cooperation for now,” Michael explained dryly to Laneta. “Wait…”
Before Michele could finish speaking, Ranetta's face immediately fell. "Then why did you rush back in such a hurry?"
Michele took a deep breath, her hands, which were turned away from the two insects, dug her nails into her palms.
He managed to squeeze out the words, "Yes, it's about Roronoa. I have accurate information. I heard he's about to be secretly auctioned off on the black market!"
The word "black market" pierced Timothy's ears like needles, and his face instantly turned pale.
He was bought back from that godforsaken place by Lanetta like livestock!
Could it be... that Michele was also behind his sale?
A deep-seated hatred surged up, and Timothy's gaze toward Michele became noticeably sinister.
He'll settle these scores with him one by one sooner or later!
Lanetta was completely oblivious to Timothy's emotions; instead, his eyes lit up when he heard the name Roronoa.
He sat up straight, his bulky body stiffening, and asked with great interest, "Is this news reliable?"
Lanetta knew that it wasn't easy for him to find a few strong and healthy male insects.
Even on the black market, it's difficult to find a male insect that meets your expectations.
If the Timothy family hadn't gone bankrupt, he probably wouldn't have had this opportunity at all.
Roronoa is also an A-grade female insect, so she is naturally a hot commodity on the black market.
Upon seeing this, Michele immediately assured her, "Absolutely reliable! I came to tell you as soon as I heard the news!"
Lanetta rubbed his hands together in satisfaction. "Good, good, good!"
He was just thinking about when to go to the black market when he noticed Timothy's pale face in his arms.
He thought Timothy was jealous, and pinched his cheek with satisfaction. "What? Are you afraid I'll leave you if I find someone new?"
Timothy's stomach churned, but he could only manage a smile that looked more like a grimace. "How could that be?"
Seeing that his expression was a little unnatural, Lanetta patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, I'm very capable. I'll make sure everyone gets a share of the spoils, and no one will be left out!"
What else could Timothy say?
He could only bite the bullet and fawn over Lanetta, saying, "Your Excellency, you are the best."
Although Michele was a little unaccustomed to the way the two male insects interacted, the thought that Lanetta had agreed to go to the black market to photograph Roronoa made Michele's tense nerves relax.
At least we can rescue Roronoa first. As for what to do next, we'll deal with that later...
