Chapter 451 A commoner male insect dared to refuse him!
Second Military Headquarters, Major General's Office.
Simon sat in his room waiting for the bug he had recently sent out to return with a report, but several days had passed and the bug still hadn't come back.
He paced back and forth in his office, creating a tense and restless atmosphere.
"Major General." Suddenly, the office door was pushed open by Chong.
Howard, Simon's trusted lieutenant, walked in.
Seeing this, Simon sat back down in his chair and said coldly, "Where have you been these past few days? Do you know I haven't been able to contact you for days?"
Howard immediately knelt on one knee. "I'm sorry, Major General, the aircraft we were using to track the royal family suddenly broke down, then damaged public facilities, and was taken away by the Department of Security's bugs."
If he weren't worried about being exposed by the police, he would have already left with his subordinates.
However, what they were doing could not be revealed to outsiders, so he could only have his subordinates patiently endure the police investigation.
So he was detained by the police department for several days until all the problems were investigated before he was released.
For some reason, Howard felt that recent events were too strange.
Thinking of this, he continued to Simon, "Major General, our insects have discovered that His Excellency Bass has recently canceled all his travel plans. Could this... mean that the royal family has noticed something?"
Otherwise, it wouldn't have been such a coincidence that their aircraft malfunctioned at this time.
He always felt that all of this was inextricably linked to the royal family.
Simon let out a disdainful snort, which sounded particularly clear in the quiet room.
He raised his eyes and glanced at Howard with a hint of disdain. "He's seeing threats everywhere. The Insect King is probably too busy to handle anything right now. He has to deal with those greedy old nobles and keep an eye on those unruly troublemakers in the military. How can he possibly have any extra energy to spare for his overlord?"
Simon said with certainty, "Lord Bass's cancellation of the trip may just be a spur-of-the-moment decision. He might just want to spend more time with his two precious insect offspring. What kind of thoughts could a commoner male insect possibly have?"
When he mentioned "commoner males," the contempt in his tone was almost palpable.
But this common male insect dared to refuse him!
As Simon thought of this, a dark, almost distorted light churned deep within his eyes.
Back then, if the Insect King hadn't intervened and used his royal status to exert pressure, how could Lord Bass have married him?
What abilities could a male insect from the slums possibly possess? He's only good for being controlled by the royal family.
Wasn't the Insect King always smug, believing that his lord was devoted to him and that their love was unbreakable?
Ha... He was determined to let him see with his own eyes how the powerful man he cherished would climb into his bed right under his nose!
Over the years, he has worked hard to climb to the position of major general and has more real power in his hands. He finally has the opportunity to avenge the loss of the leader back then!
He wanted to see what a wonderful expression His Majesty the Insect King would have then!
Let's see if he can still maintain that aloof and composed demeanor!
Seeing that Simon remained unmoved, Howard had no choice but to bite the bullet and persuade him, "Major General, if Lord Bass isn't going out, then our previous plan won't work. Perhaps... we should reconsider?"
It would be best to cancel this unreliable plan.
Simon has worked hard to climb to the rank of major general over the past few years, so there's no need for him to ruin himself for a male insect.
But Simon didn't care at all.
For him, Simon was already his for the taking.
Having been dominated by the Insect King for so many years, he is now reclaiming his rightful male insect, so he feels no remorse whatsoever.
He certainly wouldn't give up easily.
Simon waved his hand, a cold smile playing on his lips. "A long-term plan? No need for that."
He narrowed his eyes, as if he had thought of something. "In a few days, it will be the annual palace banquet. That will be a great opportunity!"
"A palace banquet?!" Howard's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets when he heard this.
To make a move at a palace banquet?
That was right under the Insect King's nose!
If their scheme is exposed, they will face the wrath of the Insect King!
"What's there to be afraid of!" Simon interrupted him impatiently, his tone brimming with arrogance. "We have the Second Legion backing us up! Even if the Insect Emperor finds out, what can he do to me? Does he dare to severely punish a legion major general over an 'accident' and undermine morale?"
He even curled his lips into a smug smile, "After this is done, I can use this opportunity to force Lord Bass to take responsibility for me..."
The Insect King certainly cannot accept his lord's disloyalty, and in that case, the lord will still be his.
If a commoner male insect is eventually abandoned by the insect king, he will be the best choice for him.
He didn't believe that Bass wouldn't choose him this time!
Seeing Simon's state, Howard knew that further persuasion would be useless.
He pondered for a moment, then turned to another practical issue, "Major General, the palace is heavily guarded, especially during palace banquets, making it difficult for our insects to tamper with things..."
Simon glanced at him, his eyes instantly turning icy cold. "Do I need to teach you such a small thing? Couldn't you have planted some insignificant servant bug to add something to Lord Bass's drink to liven things up? Then, when he's feeling unwell, just take him to the room I've already arranged."
The rest is his home turf.
Simon's lips curled into a smile, his gaze returning to Howard. "Don't tell me you can't even handle something this simple?"
Howard opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something more.
For example, he felt that the recent movements of the royal family were somewhat strange. First, the royal family started to grow natural plants, and even began to establish natural plant laboratories for the public.
The recent overtures from the royal family to several families gave him a strange feeling.
He felt something was amiss when the Smith family, who had previously sought a marriage alliance with the Thomas family, suddenly received royal support.
He always felt that the royal family was brewing something.
It's even quite possible that all of this was done specifically against the Thomas family...
Howard knew that if he said it now, Simon would definitely think he was overthinking things.
But he felt he couldn't bring himself to say nothing.
Howard thought for a moment, then slowly spoke, "Major General, I have a feeling that the royal family has been...making a lot of moves lately, something's not right. Shouldn't we be paying closer attention..."
Simon's face immediately showed displeasure. "Enough! What kind of trouble can the royal family cause? Haven't you figured out their situation yet? Unless they can conjure up countless natural foods overnight, they can't sustain themselves for long with just the gimmick of the royal family funding the laboratory!"
"But..." Howard was about to speak again when Simon interrupted him once more.
