Chapter 199 His Lord is the Best Lord in the Entire Galaxy!
After a long silence, Letekar finally reached out and embraced the male insect in front of him.
It's really hard for him not to love him.
His ruler is the best ruler in the entire galaxy!
"Alright, since you've gone to such lengths to coax me, I'll mercifully tell you~"
He kissed Letekar's cheek before saying, "When we gave them that sugarcane, it wasn't for them to make money. After all, launching a new fruit always requires spending money to promote it. The money that Lanetta and the others spent made the sugarcane famous among most nobles. Now that we've taken over, we won't have to worry about people not recognizing it."
Ludkaer understood this, of course, but he also knew that sugarcane sales weren't very good.
If we were to actually recycle these fruits, wouldn't the risks be too great?
He pursed his lips slightly, looked up at Letekar, and asked, "Isn't the Lord worried about not being able to sell them? Sugarcane doesn't have a good reputation among the nobility right now."
"Not good" is a euphemism.
In reality, after the novelty wore off among the nobles, few of them were willing to buy sugarcane anymore.
After all, fruits and vegetables are meant to showcase economic strength, not to embarrass oneself.
Other fruits can be cut into pieces, but even if sugarcane is cut into pieces, it looks very unappetizing to eat.
Seeing the worried look on Letekar's face, Tan Chi couldn't help but kiss him on the cheek again. "The reason it has a bad reputation is because they don't know how to eat it. Actually, sugarcane is used to make juice. You've had it before, remember?"
"Juicing?" Lettkar suddenly recalled all the colorful juices he had drunk, but he couldn't remember which one he had drunk before.
Tan Chi thought for a moment, "The sweetest juice you ever drank was made from sugarcane. Do you remember now?"
Ludkiel's eyes widened instantly.
He seemed to understand Tan Chi's meaning immediately.
No wonder Tan Chi was so confident that the Lanetta family could take away the new fruit; it turns out that was their plan.
He suddenly wondered how Lanetta would react when he learned that sugarcane juice had become a market sensation.
He'd probably faint from anger on the spot, right?
Seeing that Letekar was free of worries, Tan Chi continued, "Just do it boldly. No matter what the outcome is, the powerful ruler will bail you out in the end."
As for the money given out, it just goes from one pocket to another.
No matter how much money Lanetta makes from the sale, it will all be spent on auctioning the asteroid.
He just didn't expect that the Second Legion would also be eyeing the so-called mineral vein. It was a great thing for him to kill two birds with one stone!
“A mighty ruler.”
Lutecal turned around, sending water splashing everywhere.
He held Tan Chi tightly, and the emotion in his eyes made Tan Chi swallow hard again. "Baby, don't provoke me anymore, or I might lose control if you go crazy..."
Lutekar suddenly chuckled softly, tilting his head, his silver hair glistening with tiny water droplets. "Then don't hold back."
Tan Chi: "!!!"
Okay, okay! You're going to increase the intensity for him, right?
Since his wife said so, well... let's just do it!
...
Because the Thomas family of the Second Legion was also going to participate in the auction, the Insect Emperor naturally received the news as well.
He wasn't sure what the message from the asteroid was about, so he summoned Eli directly to the palace study.
"I heard that the Thomas family of the Second Legion is going to auction some asteroid, and that the mineral resources inside are the materials needed to make mechs. Is that true?"
As soon as Eli entered, the Insect King pulled him to sit down and got straight to the point.
This was the first time Eli had seen the Insect King so anxious. He looked at him with a mix of amusement and exasperation, and asked in return, "Father, these aren't just questions. Which thing do you want to know is true?"
The Insect King's eyebrows suddenly lifted slightly, as if he instantly understood the meaning behind his words.
"So, which do you think is true, and which is false?"
He looked at Eli quietly, waiting for his answer.
The fact that the Insect King could make Eli the Crown Prince naturally shows that he recognized Eli's abilities.
Therefore, even if he doesn't understand his son's decisions and actions, he will try his best to understand them.
Eli chuckled. "It's true that the Thomas family wants to auction off the asteroid, and as for the mineral resources, you could say that too."
After all, the things on the asteroid's surface were created by them.
Mineral resources do exist inside asteroids, but mining them is extremely difficult, and... the resources are pitifully scarce.
As for how he knew this, it was Tan Chi who told him.
He didn't care how his brother found out.
All he had to do was do what his brother asked.
The Insect King raised an eyebrow. "So, you deliberately framed the Thomas family?"
Eli glanced at the Insect King's expression, and seeing that he didn't show much emotion, he nodded. "Yeah, that's right. But this was originally just meant to trick the Laneta family. Who knew that old man Simon would hear about it from somewhere and want a piece of the pie, so..."
He jumped right into the trap.
This wasn't because they were deliberately trying to cause trouble for the Thomas family; it was simply because they were too greedy and wanted to compete with the First Legion in everything.
If they hadn't been so eager to make things difficult for the First Legion, Simon wouldn't have let the Zerg photograph the asteroid they had planned to target.
When Eli said this, he was actually watching the Insect King's expression the whole time.
Ever since he could remember, he knew that the First Army Corps and the Second Army Corps were at odds.
They and the Second Legion have always been in a competitive relationship, but this time the matter has gone beyond the scope of competition.
He was a little worried that what he had done this time might have gone too far and angered his female father, after all, the Second Legion was also a military female force of the Empire...
"Well done! That old bastard Simon has finally met his end! It would be best if we ripped him out of everything and bankrupted the Thomas family!"
Eli was taken aback by the Insect King's overly excited words.
He looked at the Insect King with some confusion, and then couldn't help but ask, "Father, Simon... did he not get along with you before?"
The Insect King couldn't help but roll his eyes. "It's more than just not getting along! If I hadn't acted decisively back then, your Father might not be your Father anymore."
Eli: "???"
Why do I suddenly feel like I'm eating the melon from my own yard?
Is he overthinking it?
I think so?
Their father has been dead for many years, hasn't he?
All he knew was that his father's death was an unspeakable matter within the royal family, so for so many years he had never dared to ask how his father had died...
