Chapter 266 Major General, have you regained your memories?
Michele cursed him as a useless piece of trash in his heart, but the next second he stood up and sat down next to Ranetta.
He patted him on the back, pretending to be a dutiful son to comfort him.
“Father, our marriage to the insect might not be what you expect, and Mien’s mental sea has already been severely damaged…”
Even if it's not sold, it will be worthless once it dies.
Upon hearing this, Lanetta turned to look at Michele, "What's different?"
Marrying a worm into a small family is probably just a ploy to gain favor with the Lanetta family; they might even end up paying him extra!
Lanetta has yet to recover from his previous arrogant attitude, after all, the Lanetta family's decline was too rapid.
He didn't even realize what kind of influence the Lanetta family had in aristocratic circles.
It could be said that the Lanetta family is now even worse off than when Letkar and Mien first joined the First Legion.
At least the rewards for Letekar after he became a major general were quite generous.
The Lanetta family also gradually rose from a minor noble family to prominence around that time, thanks to their merits in the Le Tecal military.
The fact that the Lanetta family is now forced to rely on Le Tecal and can only ask Mien for money to stay afloat is enough to prove how destitute the Lanetta family has become.
Therefore, if they want to return to their peak, they still need a large sum of money.
Michele immediately saw through Ranetta's thoughts and hurriedly said with a smile, "Father, I heard from a rumor that a nobleman wants to find a female soldier to bring him good luck."
In his previous life, that guy had a violent temper and would kill insects at the drop of a hat. His family was willing to spend a lot of money to find him an insect to marry.
After all, most female soldiers get married to appease the male insect's mental strength, but that insect only had an F level of mental strength and was a disabled insect that couldn't walk.
They couldn't appease any female soldiers at all, so they had to spend a lot of money to buy a female soldier to marry.
He remembered that in his previous life, the female insect died suddenly on their wedding day.
Later, the male insect's family claimed that the female insect's mental energy had gone berserk, which was why she died suddenly. It was said that the male insect was also injured at the time.
From then on, the male insect turned into an even more violent madman.
Naturally, no family would marry off its female insects there anymore.
After all, even the most humble members of the elite have to save face.
The first time, they could say they were completely unaware, but if they knew that the other party wanted to kill their family's insects and still sent the insects over, they would be discriminated against by all the nobles.
Even the lowest-ranking nobleman wouldn't do such a thing.
So Michele planned to seize this opportunity to send Mien over in exchange for some money.
He had heard that there were 200 million Star Coins.
If Lanetta knew the price, he would definitely think that selling Mien was the best option.
"A marriage to ward off bad luck?" Lanetta raised an eyebrow. "What do you mean?"
Michelle was also stunned for a moment. Right, what does "marrying for good luck" mean?
Why did this word suddenly pop into his head?
Fortunately, the idea only flashed through his mind for a moment, and then he continued to explain: "To put it bluntly, the male insects in their family can't appease the female insects, so they want to find a female soldier to put on a show. I heard that they are willing to give the female soldier's family 200 million star coins as compensation."
"200 million?" Ranetta's attention was successfully diverted by Michele.
Although the amount of money wasn't much, it was enough to solve the Lanetta family's immediate financial crisis.
He nodded thoughtfully. "Okay, I'll send a message to Mien now and ask him to come back soon."
They can't just come back to the First Legion whenever they want.
He should inform Mien as soon as possible, lest he miss such a good opportunity!
If he can get all of Mien's money and sell his son for a high price again, then he can be considered to have made a contribution to the Lanetta family!
...
Mien naturally received the message from Lanetta very quickly.
Although he didn't want to return to the Lanetta family, he was still a worm in the Lanetta family, and there was no point in resisting.
So I dutifully applied for leave.
Because he was under Luttkar's command and their major general was not present, his leave application could only be reported to Eli.
Then he received news that Letekar would be returning to work at the military headquarters the next day.
So, on his very first day back at the military headquarters, Letekar promptly came to visit.
Previously, whenever their major general returned home, they would kneel or lie down upon entering the house.
This time, he gripped the door frame tightly, fully prepared.
Surprisingly, the door opened, and he was safe.
Mien breathed a sigh of relief and then walked in.
"Major General, I need to request a leave of absence. Lanetta wants me to go back, but I don't know what I need to do."
He naturally didn't expect Letekar to say anything.
Their major general has amnesia; whether he even remembers the Lanetta family is a question.
Not to mention his half-brother.
Unexpectedly, Letekar looked up at Mien, then glanced at his sick leave slip.
"I advise you to clear out the Star Coins in your personal terminal before you go back, and not leave too much savings in there."
Letokar's sudden question made Mien's eyes widen instantly. "Major General, you've regained your memories?"
"No." The two words, though stiff and unyielding, brought Mien immense comfort.
Seeing his silly, cheerful expression, Letekar approved his leave request.
Seeing this, Mien came to his senses and looked at him, asking, "Major General, do you know about the situation with Lanetta? They asked me to come back very suddenly this time, and I don't know what they want to do."
But he always felt that nothing good was coming.
With the excellent insect like Letekar around before, even after he joined the military, he remained an invisible insect.
He would only think of looking for Le Tecal if he couldn't find him.
They usually wish he would die out there, so how could they possibly let him go back?
Lutkar blinked slightly. "The Lanetta family's recent collaboration with the Thomas family on an asteroid explosion has failed. They're probably out of money."
Lanetta and his group had tried so many ways to get money out of him and Tan Chi, but they had all failed.
They even got the male insect protection association involved.
The sudden request for Mien to return is most likely due to money.
However, since Mien didn't have any military rank, it was understandable that he couldn't afford much money.
He was actually worried that Michele would set her sights on Mien instead.
Lutecal had intended to offer a word of advice to Mien, but when he looked up and met Mien's clear yet foolish eyes, he gave up.
Forget it, the Lanetta family still has mechanical bugs. Assigning them to mechanical bugs is much more reliable than instructing Mien...
