Chapter 487 Show them what's what!
He scrutinized Tan Chi from head to toe, as if afraid he might be missing a single hair.
Tan Chi was struggling to breathe under Eli's grip. He raised his small hand and patted Eli's tense arm, saying in a breathless voice, "Big brother, I'm fine. If you don't let go, I'll really be in trouble."
Upon hearing this, Eli hurriedly released his arms from Tan Chi, then carefully checked him again before finally letting out a sigh of relief.
After confirming that Tan Chi was truly safe and sound, his heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled down. "Where did you go after leaving the cell? Father was very worried and almost rushed in with his mech..."
They originally thought that with the mechanical insects around, Tan Chi and Letekar, the two insect offspring, would be safer.
Unexpectedly, Tan Chi arranged for the mechanical insect to leave without saying a word.
They were absolutely terrified.
But unfortunately, there's nothing they can do on their end.
So, just in case, they had no choice but to expose themselves first and then attract the attention of these desperate criminals.
This would buy some time for Tan Chi. Unexpectedly, the mechanical insect reunited with Tan Chi after a while. Otherwise, they would have been extremely worried!
Tan Chi couldn't help but chuckle, "Of course it was a big bet!"
Eli raised his eyebrows in confusion, and then saw Tan Chi raise his own personal terminal and gently touch it against his.
A soft "beep" sounded.
Eli subconsciously looked down at his personal computer screen and saw a notification of a huge amount of Star Coins being transferred in.
He couldn't even quite make out how many zeros were at the end!
Eli's eyes widened even more. "You went to rob someone, didn't you?"
In such a short time, even if it were a robbery, it couldn't have been done that quickly, right?
Tan Chi shrugged. "You and the female father will take care of robbing the space pirates. I'll just be responsible for defrauding them."
Eli: "..."
"I just installed a little gadget at the pirate base. Any pirate who has a quantum computer connection with this pirate group will have their wallets automatically emptied. This is your share."
Tan Chi winked at Eli, "From now on, it's up to you and your father. Don't miss out on anything, especially the mechs!"
Eli: "..."
Very well, his younger brother's character is beyond wild.
He's just a little bit wild.
There aren't many insects who could think of using kidnapping as a pretext to rob space pirates.
Not to mention that as soon as he arrived at the pirates' lair, he wiped out all of their personal computers.
Very good, that's very Achi.
He paused, then, as if remembering something, said, "Oh, right, I've also collected all the supplies from their base warehouse. I'll check what's left when we get back to the palace."
The insect queen and the other female soldiers who were about to come to greet them overheard these words.
Insect Emperor: "..."
Female soldiers: "..."
Who exactly is the space pirate?!
Space pirates have been robbing for over a decade, but they couldn't withstand this one robbery.
In one night, they wiped out the pirate group, leaving them back to square one.
Especially since the insect that did this was a tiny bug.
The insects were speechless for a moment, their expressions a complex mix that defied description.
They had imagined all sorts of thrilling rescue scenarios, but they never expected that the only ones who needed rescue were space pirates.
As for their various pre-prepared offensive plans, they were completely useless.
Who would have thought that the insect cubs, who were originally kidnapped and waiting for rescue, weren't going there to suffer at all, but to buy goods...
They even take things while eating and stealing, and sometimes they even smash the pot!
Eli suddenly remembered that Tan Chi had said he wanted to open a bank, and whoever robbed the bank, he would rob their stronghold.
He wasn't just saying that; if space pirates came, he really would dare to raid their lair and rob them!
For a moment, the insects present didn't know whether to sympathize with the utterly unlucky Blood Skull Pirate Crew or to mourn for the entire pirate industry.
With such a troublemaker in the royal family, space pirates probably won't be able to run rampant for a while.
Without supplies and star coins, they couldn't even think about robbing anymore.
It must be hard to even fill one's stomach, right?
Of course, it's also possible that they might resort to desperate measures and rob passing merchant ships before they run out of supplies.
Tan Chi was aware of this as well, so he took a few steps forward and looked at the Insect Emperor, saying, "Father, you may need to send more patrol fleets to strengthen patrols along the main shipping routes and in areas where space pirates frequently operate."
They currently lack the funds to repair spaceships, purchase weapons, or maintain the base's operation.
For the next period of time, they will either fight amongst themselves or have no choice but to take risks to obtain funds.
This is absolutely the perfect opportunity to take advantage of their illness and kill them!
The insects present had to admit that they had been too narrow-minded before.
They thought they were already ruthless enough for robbing the space pirates of all their money, but they never expected that their little male rascal would take advantage of their destitution to wipe them out completely...
All I can say is, he's truly worthy of the name!
"However, if it's a merchant ship belonging to the Thomas family, then we can just ignore it. After all, they're the ones who hired the space pirates, so I think they'd give the Thomas family special treatment, right?"
As if suddenly remembering something, Tan Chi blinked his innocent eyes and looked at the Insect King.
The Insect King's lips twitched uncontrollably.
He looked at his little male son with mixed feelings, but finally nodded, "Okay, Father-in-law will make the arrangements."
His voice carried a tone of both helplessness and amusement.
Sure enough, his little bug cubs hold grudges.
Simon schemed against him, so he will repay him in kind.
No problem.
Even if Tan Chi didn't say that, he would still teach Simon and his family a lesson!
As the Insect King was thinking this, a question suddenly occurred to him.
He asked with a hint of worry, "Achi, won't the things you use at the space pirate base be tracked? Do we need to cover them up?"
Unexpectedly, Tan Chi shook his head, "No need. The source of that program was sent out by that scarred pirate's quantum computer. Even if some bugs can trace it to this point, they will only think that it was done by the Blood Skull Pirate Gang, and it has nothing to do with us."
If any insects investigate this area, the Blood Skull Pirates will become the common enemy of all pirates and will be relentlessly hunted down.
Even if they wanted to retaliate, it would just be a dog-eat-dog situation.
Eli listened with shining eyes. "That's a great idea! Ah Chi, your bloodless victory is absolutely brilliant! I'll definitely learn from you in the future!"
His eyes sparkled as he looked at Tan Chi, as if he were idolizing his younger brother.
Seeing Eli's excited expression, determined to learn from Tan Chi to the very end, the Insect King helplessly raised his hand and rubbed his temples.
It seems their royal family is going to learn another bad habit...
Oh well, whatever. Let it be crooked. In any case, it's just dealing with outside bugs.
