Chapter 246 It's getting cold, the Thomas family should go bankrupt!
Fortunately, he quickly realized what was happening and answered them one by one: "Although the mastermind behind them is the Thomas family, the two insects that made the move were not from the Thomas family. They were discovered by 010 when they made their move, so they were caught very quickly."
Eli watched as Tan Chi's bright eyes remained focused on what he was saying, then thought for a moment and added, "Hains hasn't informed us yet, but we'll probably have to wait until Kano wakes up and ask for his opinion."
Tan Chi waved his hand, "Whether you tell Cano about what happened between you and him is up to Cano to decide, but we must tell him about his son being plotted against by the Thomas family's insects."
Eli raised an eyebrow in confusion. "Why is that?"
Tan Chi's lips slowly curled into a smug smile. "Of course... it's getting cold, the Thomas family should go bankrupt!"
Eli: "???"
Nestled in Tan Chi's arms, Letekar thought for a moment, then slowly said, "The insects that bullied Lord Cano at the banquet seem to have gone bankrupt. It must have been that female insect from the Reeves family."
Although he wasn't sure, he guessed that Tan Chi's statement about telling Hines meant he thought he could handle the Thomas family.
His master has always had good judgment, and he trusts him.
Eli pursed his lips. "My father-in-law mentioned this before."
He had been troubled by the positions in the families that Hines had previously ruined, but 001's guidance opened the door to a new world for him.
He suddenly felt that the aristocratic circle after Hines's tidying up was much more pleasing to the eye.
At least the absence of the trash that attracts male insects makes things more comfortable for them.
Seeing that Eli was accepting the situation well, Tan Chi slowly said, "This female insect from the Reeves family is indeed an extraordinary one. As long as you treat Kano well, they will stand on the side of the royal family, even if it's just for Kano's sake."
Winning over the nobility is something their royal family needs to do to maintain their power.
However, with the help of the Reeves family, he felt that Eli could have an easier time.
As far as he knew, many nobles in the empire were actually controlled by Hines. He usually seemed very kind, but if you offended him, you would go bankrupt in no time.
The Reeves family is not a large family, but it has so many smaller families under its control that they could all be combined to surpass the power of two major noble families.
This is why the Reeves family's businesses are unassuming, yet their strength is terrifying.
Eli thought of the little male who had cried in his arms for half the night and kept him up for most of the night, and sighed with a mixture of helplessness and affection. "Yes, I will definitely treat Kano well, but the mastermind behind this is the Thomas family. What if Kano's father clashes with them..."
"If we go up against him, the Thomas family is doomed!" Tan Chi thought of this, and his beautiful eyes were full of smiles. "Big brother, don't forget that the Thomas family's current cash flow is all on that asteroid."
Even without that, Hines should be able to handle the Thomas family.
But the Thomas family is now as fragile as a rock. If Hines were to use even slightly harsher methods, the Thomas family would cease to exist in the empire.
Tan Chi couldn't help but smile. "Don't worry, big brother. Even if the Thomas family is really brought down by Hines, he will never let them find out that it was the Reeves family who did it."
Otherwise, why would Hines have so many small families under his control?
He must have been trying to hide Reeves and the little male insect behind him to prevent them from being spotted by other unsuspecting insects.
Eli nodded. "Okay, I understand. That old man Simon has been acting crazy lately. You and Letecar shouldn't go out casually for now. If you absolutely have to go out, remember to bring a few Guardian Bugs, or... bring 001."
When Tan Chi heard the name "001", he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
Indeed, his family's outlaw has definitely made a strong presence in aristocratic circles.
After all, other people's insects can only do housework, but his... well, when doing "housework," he can completely ignore the existence of any insects.
Tan Chi couldn't help but chuckle to himself, "I know, big brother. By the way, I'll have Flash Delivery Bug send you something later. Remember to open it as soon as you get it."
Seeing how solemnly Tan Chi spoke, Eli naturally nodded in agreement.
The two brothers chatted about various things before hanging up the personal terminal.
Unlike on Earth, in the interstellar era, delivery can absolutely be called "flash delivery".
As Eli hung up his personal terminal and walked out of the study, he received a message from the Flash Delivery Bug.
He had his servant bring the items over and opened the box as Tan Chi had instructed.
Then I saw two neat rows of reagent bottles.
He noticed, puzzled, that there was a piece of paper on top, which looked like an instruction manual for the product.
Repairing agent: Used to repair muscle soreness caused after sex...
Eli: "..."
He remained silent for two seconds, then finally sighed silently.
As expected of his precious younger brother, even at a time like this, he still knows how to care for his older brother.
How could he let his younger brother worry so much?
Of course, the goal is to quickly restore the order and then help his younger brother conquer the world!
At that time, his brother will only need to be the most leisurely and wealthy male insect in this empire.
Eli placed the box on the desk, then opened a bottle of repair solution and drank it.
It didn't taste as bad as the repair solution he had drunk before.
It even has a fruity flavor.
To his even greater shock, after drinking the repair fluid, the aches and pains that made him unable to stand disappeared almost instantly.
They could easily fight for three hundred rounds!
Whether on the battlefield or in the bedroom.
Eli couldn't help but smile, and the thought of the little male insect still lying in his bedroom made him feel even better.
He originally thought he would have to wait until the night of the registration to figure out how to coax the little male to his side, but unexpectedly, that old man Simon did a good thing.
So he decided to have his future father-in-law teach this ignorant old man a lesson.
With that in mind, Eli used his personal terminal to quickly edit a message and sent it directly to Hines.
He briefly described the danger the little male insect encountered in the palace yesterday, as well as the drugging incident, and then emphasized that the other party was the Thomas family. Naturally, he added that they could discuss how to deal with the Thomas family.
He had already politely inquired about it, and if Cano's father-in-law didn't intend to discuss it with him before dealing with the Thomas family, then there was nothing he could do.
After Eli finished doing all this, he stood up and left the study. He still needed to check if his little male was awake yet.
