Chapter 231 What you can't have, you must destroy!
"If they really find a male insect, you should publicize the story of Bass disappearing into the wormhole back then. I don't believe they can believe that an insect can leave through a wormhole, especially a male insect that is powerless."
Bass's lips curled into a smug smile.
The Insect King wants to bring Bass back to his side.
This is simply a dream!
Even if he finds the real Bass, he'll still give them a good thrashing.
It would be incredibly easy to make the bugs on the StarNet doubt the authenticity of Bass.
Even if the Insect King admits it, they'll just think he couldn't stand being alone and wanted to find a replacement. Humph!
Just wait! He will definitely not let the Insect King get away with this!
...
To protect Bass's safety, the banquet was postponed for a week before the news was released to the public.
Starflies on the StarNet were in an uproar.
[What? The Insect King is above! Did I hear that right? The Insect King's male lord has been found?]
[That legendary, domineering male insect, Lord Bass?]
[That male insect who so openly professed his love for the insect king!! Oh ho! As expected, each generation of insects has its own male lord, tsk tsk...]
[Tsk tsk, wipe your drool and put away your bitter tea!]
...
Lutecal looked at the various messages on the StarNet with a cold expression.
Ever since he learned that Bass's disappearance was not an accident, he has been secretly investigating what happened back then.
Letekar felt that since these insects were able to do something to the future insect king male insect back then, the possibility of them doing something to Tan Chi was also very high.
He absolutely would not allow his lord to get involved in such a thing.
He became even more restless after his recent investigation revealed that these insects might be related to the Thomas family.
It's the Thomas family again.
Their family has always been at odds with the royal family, and it's understandable that they would try to trip each other up, but to take action against a male insect is completely devoid of martial ethics.
If they can attack Bass, they'll be even more unscrupulous towards Tan Chi.
If Letkar had known they had attacked Bass before, he would have done everything in his power to kill him when Simon joined the attack.
It's not as simple as just severing his arms and legs.
"What are you thinking about, baby?" Tan Chi looked at the completely dark sky outside the window, raised his eyebrows in confusion, and then leaned down to kiss his shoulder blade.
The beautiful marks on it were his, which Tan Chi liked very much.
Ever since they unlocked the possibility of discussing the mysteries of insect life while stargazing with Tadir, he felt like he had opened the door to a new world.
Although they had visited every corner of the Empire, his wife was too shy, and he was sometimes worried about angering her, so he didn't dare to be too wild.
However, having had the experience of going to the planet Tadir this time, he felt he could push his luck even further.
At least his wife has become much more tolerant of him.
Letekar felt Tan Chi hug him from behind, the warmth like falling into a hot spring, making the insect feel exceptionally safe.
He took a deep breath and simply stated his thoughts, "I have a feeling that this banquet might not be as simple as it seems."
Letekar turned to look at Tan Chi and said, word by word, "I have investigated this matter and found that it is related to the Thomas family. Since they have done such an outrageous thing to Lord Bass, they will not let this banquet pass peacefully."
Whether they intend to take direct action against Bass or use Bass as a pretext is open to interpretation.
Lutkar frowned slightly. "But we can't eliminate the Thomas family in a short time, nor can we kill Simon immediately."
As he said this, he was overcome with deep self-reproach.
As a major general in the First Army Corps, it would be a piece of cake for him to take down that old man Simon.
But he can't completely wipe out the entire Thomas family yet.
His lord had said that if you can't solve a problem, then kill the troublemaker.
But now he can't kill the troublemaking bug, and the whole bug is a bit dejected.
Tan Chi felt uneasy listening to Letkar say things that made his heart pound.
“Honey, what they want to do at the banquet won’t cause any real trouble, so you don’t need to be so nervous.”
As Tan Chi said this, he couldn't help but hug Letekar directly into his arms.
His wife finally managed to act innocent at home for a while, but her mind was still full of fighting and killing. It must be because he, as the tyrant, didn't make his lovely wife feel safe enough.
It's his fault, it's all his fault!
Tan Chi couldn't help but kiss Leterkar's innocent and bewildered eyes again before saying, "Even if the Thomas family was responsible for my father's disappearance, they wouldn't have directly attacked the insects at the banquet."
There are so many bugs now!
What were they thinking?
"But they won't just stand by and watch Lord Bass return to the royal family..."
If you can't have it, destroy it!
He believed the Thomas family was absolutely capable of doing it.
I just don't know what they're planning to do now.
Tan Chi nodded thoughtfully. "You're right. So, if it were you, how would you drive the male insect out of the royal family if you couldn't harm him?"
Lutecar was stunned. He was only thinking about how to stop the Thomas family's open and covert attacks, and hadn't thought about this problem.
Seeing his dazed expression, Tan Chi couldn't help but reach out and pinch the tip of his handsome nose. "Use your clever brain and think it over carefully?"
Letekar paused for a moment, then instantly had an idea: "If we can prevent him from returning to the royal family while harming the male insect... then there are many other ways."
Tan Chi almost laughed at Letekar's words.
Sure enough, as long as he lets his wife think from the villain's perspective, he can instantly see the light.
"If it were me, I would stir up public opinion, making other insects question Lord Bass's authenticity. If public opinion proves him to be a fraud, then whether he is real or fake is irrelevant, and it could even undermine the authority of the royal family..."
As Lutkar continued, his brow furrowed noticeably again. "That's not enough. We can find other insects offline to prove that Lord Bass is not Lord Bass. Even if there is a genetic sequence that can prove that Lord Bass is him, it can also show that the royal family used its power for an imposter..."
As he finished speaking, he immediately grasped Tan Chi's large hand, "My lord, absolutely not, we absolutely cannot let them succeed!"
If they succeed, it will be an indelible stain on the royal family, and could even cause the Second Legion to rise from the ashes!
