Chapter 15 No way, no way, you can't make your own decisions?
Laneta looked up, trembling slightly, seemingly not quite understanding what Tan Chi meant.
In business dealings, it's all handled by their female mistresses and servants.
His daily routine is all about enjoying life.
Now that Tan Chi is pressing him about compensation, he's completely bewildered.
"Compensation? What compensation?"
Tan Chi curled his lips, his face instantly darkening, making the air in the room feel somewhat oppressive.
"Lord Laneta, you don't actually think that male insects that maliciously harm the royal family can get away with it so easily, do you?"
His voice was cold as he stared down at Raneta, his powerful mental strength making it difficult for Raneta to breathe.
His hands trembled as he struggled to control his movements. "Then, what does Lord Tan Chi want?"
After saying this, Lanetta felt a little better breathing.
Then Tan Chi's gloomy expression vanished, replaced by a beaming smile as he said, "I don't want much. I remember... the Lanetta family owns a planet called Plant. How about you give me that planet as compensation?"
Planet Plant?!
The Insect King and the Crown Prince couldn't help but exchange a glance. This Planet Plant was rich in vegetables and fruits, and although it wasn't very large, it accounted for about 10% of the vegetable and fruit supply.
If Tan Chi really gets his hands on this, he'll definitely tear a chunk of flesh from the Lanetta family.
Lanetta didn't know much about their family's business, but seeing that Tan Chi wanted the star, she was worried that there was something fishy going on.
"I need to go back and discuss this with my queen..."
The moment he uttered those words, Tan Chi curled his lips in a mocking smile. "No way, no way, Lord Laneta actually needs to consult the Queen before compensating other insects with an asteroid? Can't you make the decision yourself?"
“How is that possible?!” The bug that Lanetta hated most questioned his authority.
After all, fools only care about saving face.
Tan Chi crossed his legs, completely unconcerned. "Oh? Is that so? I think you should call your queen right now, so you don't have to pay for this asteroid. Lord Lanetta will get a scolding when you get back, tsk tsk..."
He never said he despised him, but every word he said conveyed it.
Especially in this kind of insectoid society where males are superior.
This is definitely the kind of behavior you'd expect when you step on someone's landmine and go wild.
Sure enough, Lanetta couldn't hold back any longer, "It's just an asteroid, I wouldn't mind giving you two!"
"So, just two?" Tan Chi crossed his arms, his expression still that smug look.
Lanetta's face immediately turned ugly.
Seeing that Tan Chi had already gained an advantage, the Insect King quickly gave him a "know when to stop" look.
“Lord Lanetta, Tan Chi was just joking. One asteroid is enough.”
Eli nodded in agreement, adding a helpful suggestion, "In that case, let's just sign the agreement directly, so that Tan Chi won't keep doing whatever he wants."
His words instantly resonated with Ranetta.
Who knows what crazy thing this royal male will do next?
We should finalize the deal for this asteroid before he makes any further demands.
He thought for a moment and then directly accessed the quantum computer, transferring the Plant asteroid to Tan Chi.
Having done all this, he spoke with a bit more confidence, "Since Lord Tan Chi has accepted my asteroid, let's leave it at that."
Tan Chi shrugged noncommittally, "Fine."
Lanetta: "..."
I'm so angry at this brat!
He clearly came here to demand an explanation, but now, not only did he not gain anything, he even had an asteroid snatched away!
It's all Michele's fault, that wretched worm! He's the one who made him lose so much face!
He'll definitely punish that little bastard when he gets back!
...
After Laneta left, Eli and the Insect King focused their attention on Laneta.
Perhaps the two insects' gazes were too sharp, Tan Chi rubbed his nose uncomfortably.
"Why is everyone looking at me like that? What? Are you all impressed by how amazing I am?"
He raised his chin slightly, perfectly conveying the original owner's previously outwardly strong but inwardly weak demeanor.
The Insect King sighed helplessly, "You caused the Lanetta family to lose 10% of their market share. Aren't you worried that they will retaliate against you?"
Tan Chi rolled his eyes and snorted coldly, "Revenge against me? I'm a royal A-grade male insect! Besides, I'm the one who's been hurt. I'm already being lenient by not making the Lanetta family go bankrupt to compensate me!"
Eli's lips twitched; it turned out that the image of the seemingly invincible insect brother had been an illusion.
He simply wanted to embarrass Ranetta, but he didn't expect that old man Ranetta couldn't resist and actually did it.
As the Insect King listened to Tan Chi's incessant chatter, he sighed inwardly once again.
He's a good kid in every way, except he's not very bright.
Before, he was obsessed with love, but now that he's been betrayed, his obsession with love has subsided, and he seems much more normal now.
Especially that series of actions just now, which caught that old man Ranetta completely off guard, and it was a way for the royal family to vent their anger.
He naturally found Tan Chi more agreeable.
"Alright, stop complaining. Now that you've got the asteroid Plant, take good care of it, understand?"
"Understood, Father." Tan Chi nodded, automatically ending the previous conversation.
It was at this moment that the Insect King remembered that Tan Chi seemed to have mentioned Michaela before Laneta arrived.
If it weren't for what just happened, the Insect King would have definitely thought that Tan Chi wanted to replace the Female Lord with Mikaela.
But after what had just happened, the Insect King decided to ask one more question, "Tan Chi, what was Timmy Kailai trying to say just now?"
Tan Chi was slightly stunned for a moment before he remembered what he was about to tell the Insect King.
"Father, I originally wanted to tell you about Michele drugging me, but I didn't expect that old man Ranetta... cough cough, Lord Ranetta would suddenly come here to complain, humph!"
He casually reminded her, "Michele was clearly deeply in love with me before, but I don't know what the Laneta family is up to, trying to drug me. They dare to displease this prince, and they'll all suffer!"
Insect Emperor: "..."
The eldest prince: "..."
Is it possible that this insect is just trying to keep you hanging on?
Does she not want to marry you at all?
But thinking of the proud male insect, the two insects automatically swallowed back the words they were about to say.
However, Tan Chi's words made them think a little more.
Michele is merely a sub-female of the Lanetta family; it wouldn't be unreasonable to give such a female insect to Tan Chi.
They fought fiercely over a female concubine, even taking the matter to the palace.
In addition, this sub-female had often encouraged their royal male insect to cause trouble, even though their male insect was so well-behaved before!
He doesn't even have a female servant!
The two insects couldn't help but wonder about the true purpose of this sub-female...
