Chapter 242 Who Can Be Provoked Is Obvious
No need to ask, it's guaranteed to be a death sentence.
They didn't want to waste the insects they were cultivating, so they had no choice but to tell Simon the truth.
It's better to lose face than to lose your life.
Simon's expression darkened further. "Isn't there a plan to turn the tables on them now?"
He lost such a big bug at the banquet, and his subordinates were completely helpless?
They're utterly useless!
"Actually... there's another insect that's currently unprotected, but we're not sure if it will succeed."
Although the insects hesitated, they still told Simon the result.
"The young male insect that His Highness Eli has recently been in contact with is from the Reeves family. That small family is easily abandoned by the royal family. After all, the Galwan family just collapsed like that before, and His Highness the Crown Prince didn't seem to care much..."
Although the female insects are only picky about the male insects based on rank, once an insect gains power, it is not entirely unable to choose based on rank.
When Simon heard the name "Reeves," his brows furrowed visibly. "I don't care what noble or minor this little male is, I just want to make the royal family lose all face!"
Seeing this, the subordinate insects quickly nodded, "Then we'll use our original plan on the young male insects, and then find two sub-females to give to the young male insects..."
"No! Go find a few insects who do special jobs. I told you, I'm going to make the royal family lose all face!"
Simon spoke through gritted teeth, showing no mercy to the royal family.
They actually let a mechanical bug beat him so badly that he lost all face.
Then let all the insects know that the little male insect in the Reeves family would rather find a pimp to find him insects than be with the Crown Prince of the Empire.
Then, he'll see... he'll see who's more embarrassed!
...
During the banquet, the little male insect, who was obediently drinking juice, suddenly shivered, and the whole insect felt unwell.
He quietly ran to Hines' side and whispered, "Father, can I go back now?"
His sixth sense told him that something bad would happen if he stayed in this place.
The last time he didn't trust his sixth sense, he watched helplessly as Lord Tan Chi was abducted by a female insect right under his nose.
Hmm, it wouldn't exactly be considered kidnapping.
She was kidnapped voluntarily.
However, no matter how you look at it, it's not a good omen.
Hines raised an eyebrow slightly, thinking that he still had to stay here to continue socializing and would not be able to see his lovely master, while his little brat was thinking of leaving.
What's the point of leaving?
His gaze swept around, but he didn't see the First Prince. His look at Kano became even more displeased. "Don't even think about trying to seduce someone at such an important occasion. Just get used to the circle of nobles. Since you're determined to be His Highness the First Prince's master, are you going to avoid these kinds of occasions from now on?"
Kano hesitated for a moment, looked at Hines, but did not speak.
"However, if you can't adapt, His Highness the Crown Prince can always find a male insect to back him up..."
"Absolutely not!" Before Hines could finish speaking, Kano's face puffed up indignantly. "Who says I can't handle it? I'm the esteemed male insect of the Empire!"
Hines: "..."
That's a familiar line of dialogue.
He couldn't help but sigh; his master was no longer able to be cooled down.
However, it's not impossible to properly raise this little bug of ours.
At the very least, they can't let the Reeves family's brand get ruined.
The imperial aristocracy is a bunch of ruthless bastards; he can't possibly bankrupt them all, can he?
He needs to at least teach his son how to bankrupt other insect colonies.
Hines looked at Cano meaningfully before saying, "You are, but the Empire isn't just a male insect like you. Do you know what competition is?"
Kano nodded seriously, "It's not a waste! It means surpassing other insects and becoming the best insect."
Hines shook his head. "No, competition means outcompeting the other bugs and securing a unique opportunity, understand?"
Kano: "???"
No? Is this legitimate knowledge?
Hines's serious expression didn't seem like he was being teased!
"Whether you are the best insect or not, you must become the last insect, then you will be the best, understand?"
Hines's cool voice came again, explaining to Cano word by word.
It's often not the winner who takes all, but the survivor who takes all.
Just like when he successfully married Reeves.
There are certainly plenty of female insects in the Empire who are better than him, but no insect knows Reeves better than him, and he wipes out all the insects who intend to marry Reeves.
He became the only female insect that fit Reeves's description.
Cano looked at Hines blankly, thought for a moment, and finally nodded.
Because he couldn't refute it; logically speaking, it made sense.
The last insect is the best, because there is no longer any point of comparison.
Hines patted Cano's head with satisfaction. "Alright, go have some fun. Get to know the current nobles of the Empire and see if any of them catch your eye. Also, see if any of them are looking for trouble like last time. After all, the power dynamics among the Imperial nobility are always changing..."
Those nobles who dislike the Reeves family always have to change their ways.
Either get used to them, or don't try to be an aristocrat.
trouble.
Cano thought Hines wanted to encourage him to integrate into the aristocratic circle, so he nodded seriously.
He will definitely work hard and will not let the other insects look down on Prince Eli!
Cano returned to the bustling banquet hall with a triumphant air, while Hines picked up his personal terminal and went to the balcony to make a video call to his beloved master.
The two separated insects were completely unaware that the moment they separated, another insect had already set its sights on Cano.
Simon's spies were present at the banquet from the very beginning. They didn't carry the medicine with them; they only brought juice containing the medicine to the banquet.
Since the mechanical insects at the banquet were mostly centered around Bass, after Bass left, the number of mechanical insects that were originally at the banquet decreased significantly.
This gave them an opportunity to take advantage of the situation.
They became even more excited when they saw that Cano was alone.
Fortunately, Simon's plan didn't involve them attacking Bass, otherwise they would have been worried about being turned into bug sauce by the mechanical bugs.
After all, one is a newly found, highly anticipated insect king, while the other is a minor male insect from a small noble family.
It's obvious who can be provoked.
Even if they did something and the Reeves family found out, they could only suffer in silence.
Once they film this and spread it on the StarNet, the royal family will probably start to hate the Reeves family and might even bankrupt them...
