Chapter 238 Although he was very moved, the occasion...
Simon frowned as he looked at the mechanical bug blocking his way.
He looked at Eli coldly, "What does Your Highness mean by this? Do you intend to silence him here?"
Eli was about to deny it when he saw the electronic screen of the mechanical bug next to him start running code like crazy.
His heart sank.
It wasn't that he wanted to silence them; it was that his brother's family's insect was actually plotting how to kill Simon.
Eli coughed lightly. "I just wanted to have a good talk with Admiral Simon, but you were walking too fast, so our mechanical bug blocked your way."
"Oh? Is that so? As far as I know, all mechanical insects serve the male insects. Their every word and action is based on the habits formed by the male insects of their family. Are you suggesting that the reason this insect is so aggressive is because of Lord Bass?"
Simon sneered, and his face turned cold again as he thought of Bass, who had been unsmiling and even tried to attack him.
It's just a male insect that can't even kill a chicken.
He can only release pheromones, so why would he look down on him?
"Lord Bass said he wants you to speak with the Insect God. 001 can take you there." In the midst of the silence, the mechanical insect's cold, mechanical voice suddenly rang out.
Eli: "..."
He knew it.
His brother's mechanical insect is really too "lively".
Just now, Bass was probably just saying it casually, right? Why is it taking it so seriously?
Right? Right! It was probably just a casual remark!
Eli felt a pang of despair as he watched the mechanical bug threatening to send Simon to meet the Bug God.
He wondered why the mechanical bug hadn't left with Tan Chi; good heavens, it was waiting for him there.
Eli rubbed his temples, feeling a bit of a headache. If Simon really disappeared or died here, who knows what kind of trouble the Second Legion would cause.
He coughed lightly. "001, my father was just joking. You don't have to take it seriously."
The mechanical insect tilted its head, seemingly unable to comprehend Eli's words.
Eli sighed helplessly and patted the mechanical bug's head. "001, listen to me. Lord Bass was just joking, understand?"
The mechanical bug's little head spun around in place, but it still obediently replied, "001 believes Prince Eli's words."
Then it turned to Simon and said, "001 was just joking too~"
Simon: "..."
His lips twitched; he felt as if he had just been mocked by a mechanical insect.
Simon's face immediately turned even more sinister. He gave Eli a cold look, then stared at the mechanical bug and said, "Do you think my title of general is just for show? You actually let a mere mechanical bug provoke me! You're courting death!"
As he said this, his wings opened almost instantly and swept towards the mechanical insect.
Because he didn't expect Simon to attack the mechanical bug directly, Eli reacted a beat too slow, but fortunately his hand had already grasped the mechanical bug's mechanical arm.
Just as he was about to pull the mechanical bug behind him, Simon clearly felt the mechanical bug change position.
The sharp blade that had just swept past them from the wings had just grazed them.
Eli: "???"
No? This is... a mechanical insect?
It's definitely a mechanical bug, right?
Seeing Eli's visibly dazed expression, the mechanical insect circled him once. "Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. 001 isn't injured!"
Eli: "..."
Simon, standing to the side, was clearly displeased with Eli's actions. His fluttering wings suspended his entire insect in the air as he looked down at Eli.
"Your Highness Eli, are you really going to make an enemy of me at the banquet because of a mechanical bug?"
His voice was icy cold, yet full of threat.
Eli also looked coldly at Simon, "Admiral Simon actually broke down because of a single sentence from a mechanical bug, and even went so far as to fight a mechanical bug. Wouldn't it be bad if word got out?"
The commotion in the banquet hall corridor was so loud that even the bug, who had been wondering what Bass and Simon had gone off to do, came over to investigate.
This was quite a sight; everyone saw Simon's wings peeking out, looking like he was about to unleash a massacre at any moment.
The nobles who sided with the royal family began to speak up.
"Good heavens, what is General Simon doing? Is he going to attack His Highness the First Prince?"
"Is this an outright rebellion?"
"Has the Thomas family become this arrogant?"
...
At this moment, the people from the military team spoke up to refute.
"Nonsense! General Shanmen didn't lay a hand on His Highness the Crown Prince at all; he just flew up!"
"That's right, that's right. His Highness the Crown Prince wasn't injured, so how can you say that General Simon attacked him?"
"That must be some treacherous person trying to damage the relationship between the military and the royal family, that's why they're spouting such nonsense!"
...
The entire corridor suddenly became noisy.
Simon originally only wanted to intimidate Eli with his imposing manner and force him to hand over the mechanical bug, but given the current situation, it seems unlikely that things will end well.
Eli naturally noticed the situation as well, and just as he was about to speak, the mechanical insect beside him spoke first.
"General Saimen, are you planning to have a spar with 001?"
Mechanical City turned its little head with a blank expression, and asked again with great seriousness, "You have already launched an attack on 001. Can 001 start to counterattack now?"
Simon almost laughed in anger when he heard what the mechanical bug said.
A tiny mechanical insect dared to provoke him in front of so many insects.
If he didn't teach it a lesson, he felt that this mechanical bug was about to fly into the sky!
He curled his lips into a sinister smile. "Since you want to spar, then come and try. But if your household robot bug gets destroyed, you'll just be a pile of useless trash."
Eli's face darkened as he heard Simon's pointed remark.
He never expected Simon to be so shameless as to fight a mechanical bug!
His brother's mechanical insect was just a little lively, but he never expected that he would treat it as a thorn in his side. It's simply outrageous!
Simon didn't actually want to spar with the mechanical bug.
He just wanted to slap his brother in the face, or rather, he wanted to slap the royal family in the face!
How could he possibly let those insects succeed?
Eli silently stood in front of the mechanical bug, blocking it. "Admiral Simon, if we're going to spar, how about I do it?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the mechanical insect circled around his legs and said, "Your Highness Eli, you can't! The master insect said that a responsible insect should protect the female insects around it. 001 is already a capable insect and can protect Your Highness Eli."
Eli: "..."
Although he was very touched, the occasion...
