Chapter 295 Could he really say something like that?
Lutekart's lips curled slightly as he began operating the quantum computer.
Hopefully, Lanetta and Michele will genuinely have a good time at the banquet.
****
The Berg family, who had been in dire straits, inexplicably received an invitation from the Lanetta family.
They all went completely mad.
Especially Leo.
Although he wasn't exactly wealthy or powerful before, he was still considered top-tier in the Berg family because of his status and rank as a male insect.
But now, he can't even be considered a complete male insect.
The atmosphere in the Berg family's meeting room was extremely oppressive.
Leo sat in the chair next to the main seat, his former high spirits long since replaced by gloom.
Since his last failed investment decision, his status within the family has plummeted.
Furthermore, he had almost lost his reproductive ability, which was the male insect's greatest pride, making him even more despised by the other male insects in the family.
His father, who was also his father, disliked him as well.
The Lanetta family is holding a banquet now, and they're all green with envy. I wonder how they'll ridicule him again.
Leo gritted his teeth at the thought; if it weren't for Michele, he wouldn't be in such a miserable state now.
"Those bastards from the Lanetta family, they tricked us into buying the sugarcane trading rights, and now they've lost so much money they can't even hear a sound, while they just pat their butts on the back and pretend nothing happened!"
"Ha, they still have the nerve to throw such a big party! With the Thomas family's big tree fallen, let's see who can shelter them from the wind and rain!"
"The Lanetta family has somehow risen again, and we're barely able to afford a decent meal! This time, we have to make them bleed a lot!"
...
The retainer insects started chattering amongst themselves.
Suddenly, one of the insects looked at Leo and said, "Lord Leo, we've been holding this pent-up frustration for far too long. If we don't let it out soon, we might suffer internal injuries..."
This strange, sarcastic tone quickly attracted the attention of the other insects.
Almost everyone's eyes were fixed on Leo's face.
“Yes, speaking of which, although Michele left the Berg family, she was once Lord Leo’s female insect…”
"This deal was negotiated by His Excellency Leo. Back then, the Lanetta family relied on the Thomas family's backing and didn't even offer any compensation. Now that the Thomas family is struggling, it's a good opportunity to get them to bleed a little and help everyone recoup their losses."
"Yes, yes, we should take advantage of this banquet and make a big show of going to Laneta's house to see if he still has any shame!"
"Great idea! Lord Leo, you can't just let this go! We'll all join you in giving them a good beating! Let the other noble insects see how the Lanetta family cheats and swindles!"
"That's right! It would be best to force them to return all the money they've taken, including interest!"
...
Leo clenched his fist so tightly that his knuckles turned white.
He knew that these insects were using him as a pawn, trying to use his humiliation to get him to fight.
He was about to retort when he heard his father slowly speak, "What everyone said makes sense, Leo, you should go this time."
Leo: "..."
He desperately wanted to refuse, but his current treatment within the family depended entirely on his powerful father, and he had no right to struggle.
If even his father abandons him, he will truly have no way out.
Leo took a deep breath and could only nod in humiliation, "I understand, Father, I will do as you say."
Anyway, he has nothing left to lose.
If this incident could improve his treatment, it wouldn't be a bad idea for him to go.
The thought of Michele, who abandoned him after seeing he was no longer of any use, deepened the resentment in his eyes.
“Father, I think we can do this to make the banquet more effective…”
Leo looked at his father with a sinister gaze, then slowly leaned closer. He lowered his voice, which made his father frown slightly.
However, he quickly nodded and agreed with Leo's method.
He coughed lightly before addressing the retainers sitting around him: "We need to make proper arrangements for the banquet. Listen carefully to Leo now!"
The insects were puzzled, but upon hearing Leo's next words, their expressions almost all changed in the same way...
On the day of the banquet, most of the empire's nobles were invited.
Tan Chi, Eli, and even the Insect King brought Bas to the banquet.
"Big brother, why did the female father suddenly decide to bring the male father to the banquet?"
Tan Chi shook the pomegranate juice in his hand, leaned his head slightly towards Eli, and asked in a voice that was neither too loud nor too soft.
He remembered that the Insect Emperor rarely attended imperial banquets; usually, he or Eli represented the royal family.
What's going on this time?
Eli curled his lip. "I guess the father is too clingy, so he's just making excuses to go out."
Tan Chi did not live in the palace, so he naturally did not know about the way the female father and male father got along.
Before the male father was found, his female father's activity area was the entire palace.
Now that the male father has returned, the female father's activity range is limited to the bedroom, the bedroom, and more bedrooms.
So the Insect King, who rarely attended banquets, suddenly became eager for them.
Could he say something like that?
Therefore, I can only express it in a roundabout way.
Tan Chi raised an eyebrow, then looked at the Insect King sitting in a high position, slowly savoring a small cake, and Bass staring at the small cake in the Insect King's hand with a resentful look.
Suddenly struck by a sudden inspiration, he asked Eli, "Does Father intend to have a few more brothers for us?"
"puff--"
Eli couldn't hold back and spat out the nectar he was about to drink.
He coughed several times before he finally recovered.
In addition, the commotion he made just now was quite loud, so the surrounding insects all looked over.
Tan Chi blinked innocently, then silently pulled Eli to a corner to the side.
He's here to watch the play, not to be an actor.
His beloved wife had subtly hinted to him early in the morning that there would be a good show at Lanetta's party.
He then rushed over without stopping.
As for Cano, they found a suitable reason to keep him at the military headquarters to continue drawing.
Young male insects are easily targeted by bad insects when they attend a banquet, especially with the presence of Bass, a conspicuous male father, at the banquet.
He didn't want to be taken advantage of by some insects again.
So all they can do is fool the young males.
Suddenly, a commotion arose at the entrance of the banquet hall.
A sub-female sat at the entrance of the banquet hall, clutching her stomach and wailing, "Gentlemen, please have mercy! I just want my child to be with his father. Please, gentlemen, help me find Lord Bass in the banquet hall..."
