Chapter 452 This male insect originally belonged to him!
"Alright! You're too timid. You always hesitate and overthink things. You'll never amount to anything! I'll delegate this to another more decisive insect. You may leave!"
Seeing the look of disgust on his face, Howard swallowed back all his words of advice.
"Yes, Major General." He sighed silently, bowed, and left the room in silence.
Simon looked at the closed door, rubbed his temples in frustration, and then, as if seeking solace, skillfully turned on his personal terminal.
The pale blue screen lit up, and countless pictures and videos popped up instantly—all of them showing Buzz from different angles.
These were all taken by the insects secretly before Bass got together with the insect king.
He had thoroughly investigated him and was just waiting to find the male insect to enter the house when he unexpectedly encountered the insect king!
Then, in less than a day, he registered his marriage with the Insect King!
Damn it!
His fingertips brushed lightly across the cold screen, tracing the face of Bass in the image, his eyes filled with a mixture of infatuation and resentment.
"Your Excellency Bass, if you had chosen me, why would you need to live such a difficult life in the royal family? The Thomas family can offer you far more than just the empty title of royalty..."
His gaze swept over several folders labeled with other male names in the corner of the personal terminal, then he looked away with disdain.
These insects are almost all somewhat similar to Bass, but like most Imperial male insects, they are promiscuous and have so many female insects in their homes that they can't even hold them all.
If it weren't for Bass's good looks, given his status as a commoner insect, he definitely wouldn't have given him a second glance.
But the insect king chose him, and showed him that even as a male insect, he could be so chaste.
He became even more resentful!
This male insect originally belonged to him!
He was the one who set his sights on it first!
But soon, he will be back by his side, and he is increasingly looking forward to the palace banquet...
Just after 1 p.m., a light drizzle began to fall.
When Tan Chi, Letecar, Eli, and Aaron arrived at Reeves' house, the sky was already overcast.
In the Reeves family's drawing room, Hines stared at the four insects present with a serious expression, feeling as if he himself had gone mad.
He actually believed that a bug offspring could cure the bugs of their Reeves family?
It was a condition that even the entire Imperial Hospital couldn't handle.
Hines sighed silently, but his expression remained calm as he looked at the insects in front of him.
"Your Highness, Second Prince, the royal family previously said they could cure Ak from our Reeves family. Is there any truth to this rumor?"
The Reeves family still needs to build up its strength. It's best not to make enemies with the royal family until he's sure what they want to do.
Even if it was just a prank on him, I'll settle the score later.
Seeing this, Eli looked at Tan Chi, who shook his head and slowly said, "This is not a misunderstanding. I can indeed help your Reeves family treat Ak, but there is one condition."
Hines immediately became alert upon hearing this.
"Oh? Then Your Highness, what are your conditions? I'm worried that after Your Highness saved Lord Ak, our Reeves family might not be able to meet them."
Hines smiled faintly, but a hint of wariness crept into his eyes.
Tan Chi didn't mind his attitude at all. After all, the female soldier who was able to make the Reeves family so powerful was definitely not a simple insect.
He chuckled and looked at Hines, saying, "I hope that after Lord Aker wakes up, he can marry into the Smith family, specifically Major General Aaron."
Hines was completely stunned.
If he remembered correctly, Aaron was currently very popular with the Smith family.
If it were the Smith family of the past, one could say they were after the Reeves family's business.
But if it were the current Smith family, they would have no need to form an alliance with their family through marriage.
They want money, they have the right to sell natural plants granted by the royal family, and I heard they've discovered a silver mine with considerable reserves on an asteroid. They also want power; Aaron is a major general in the military and even has close ties to the royal family.
He didn't understand why the Smith family wanted to form a marriage alliance with their Reeves family.
Seeing Hines's conflicted expression, Tan Chi spoke again: "Actually, our royal family wants to win over a few families. As you should know, several powerful noble families are eyeing us covetously. If the royal family wants to eradicate these cancerous tumors, it needs its own supply lines."
Hearing Tan Chi say these things, Hines's wariness towards them lessened considerably.
He was certainly aware of the royal family's current situation, but he also knew a thing or two about what had recently happened within the royal family.
Although the royal family is currently establishing laboratories outwardly, he has already obtained top-secret information from the royal family's internal servants.
That is, the royal family's back garden has long been filled with natural plants.
Their claim of establishing a laboratory is just a smokescreen; the royal family will surely be able to dominate the entire empire by cultivating natural plants.
Hines had considered contacting the royal family, but his family was too small and insignificant in the eyes of the royals.
He didn't want to reveal his hand, which is why he hasn't made a move yet.
When the eldest prince recently came to deliver a congratulatory gift, he politely returned the gift, but he hasn't thought about anything further yet.
Unexpectedly, Tan Chi and his group came to visit in person.
Hines pondered for a moment, "Why would the royal family choose our Reeves family?"
After all, there's nothing about their family that would warrant the royal family's attention, and he has always kept a low profile.
Tan Chi raised an eyebrow slightly. "That's because your skills have impressed me, which is why I want to cooperate with you. I didn't choose the Reeves family, but you."
Hines' pupils twitched; he hadn't expected this possibility at all.
He opened his mouth, as if to say something, but then fell silent.
Seeing this, Aaron immediately spoke up, "Senior Hines, you don't need to worry. His Highness the Second Prince can be completely trusted. He has no prejudice against female and male insects. I was originally used as a bargaining chip by my family for a marriage alliance. It was His Highness the Second Prince who appreciated my abilities, which is why I became the acting head of the Smith family."
Hines' eyes widened considerably; he hadn't expected that Aaron's control over the Smith family was due to Tan Chi.
The other party is clearly just a small male insect, isn't this a bit too clever?
Hines unconsciously glanced at Tan Chi.
He hesitated for a moment, then asked gently, "If I agree to cooperate with the royal family, what will our Reeves family gain?"
Tan Chi paused, feigning thought, and then said, "Well, how about we also give you a sales right for natural foods?"
