Chapter 373 Wouldn't that be a losing proposition?
His voice sounded indifferent, but his words were nauseating.
"The Lanetta family now seems to be a good stepping stone."
Aaron raised his head at the opportune moment, a perfectly timed hesitation on his face. "Master, it seems that Michaela has a master, the male insect that the Graham family just found... Wouldn't that be unfair to you?"
Aaron pretended that he was saying it was for the male master's sake, but actually he didn't want him to find other insects.
Had was naturally pleased that Aaron had such a possessive nature towards him.
This demonstrates that his previous control over Aaron was very effective.
A smirk played on his lips, followed by a hint of mockery in his eyes. "What's a little thing if I can use the Lanetta family's resources? The process doesn't matter; the result is everything."
Hader's undisguised ambition caught Aaron's eye, chilling him to the bone.
Putting interests first has always been a truth that Hader believed in.
He wasn't surprised at all by his choice.
But he remained meek and obedient, saying, "Yes. Since Your Majesty has made your decision, I will support you wholeheartedly."
Hader waved his hand with satisfaction, "Okay, go down."
"Yes." Aaron bowed again, then silently left the study.
The moment the door closed gently behind him, a hint of disdain appeared on Aaron's expressionless face.
However, this emotion quickly vanished from his face, disappearing into the corridor as he went.

The following day, at the military headquarters, in the general's office.
Eli looked at the documents Lettcal had brought, his brow furrowed. "Are you sure this is the investigation result for the Graham family case?"
"Hmm." Letekar nodded lightly, his expression unchanged.
Eli's lips almost snapped into a thin line, then he looked at Letecar and then at the documents in his hand.
He seemed a little unwilling to give up and asked again, "Are you sure? It's Achi?"
How could his well-behaved Ah Chi cause such a commotion?
He was so convinced that the star beast had mutated, but it turned out to be his brother who did it.
Eli leaned back almost imperceptibly, his fingertips tapping the table unconsciously. "What's gotten into him with the Graham family lately? Did their bugs offend Ah Chi?"
Lettcal's eyelids drooped, and seeing that Eli had immediately taken a biased stance towards his own side, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's because last time, the male lord found out that Michael was planning to cause trouble at your engagement banquet with star beasts, so he wanted to teach him a lesson, so... he used the unstable products from the laboratory."
The moment Eli heard that Tan Chi was doing this for him, the hard lines on his face softened considerably.
He didn't spoil this kid for nothing; he knows how to protect his older brother now.
He's really... grown up.
Eli's lips curved into an almost imperceptible smile, and he felt incredibly pleased.
Oh, look! Whose male insect brother is so well-behaved?
All they did was blow up the wall of the Graham house.
It's also because the walls in the Graham house were substandard.
As for Acosta's serious injury... emmm, wasn't he later saved in the medical pod?
Besides, since he's the male lord of Michele, it's only reasonable for his females to take some interest from him when he causes trouble!
Eli quickly and automatically reconciled all of Tan Chi's motives in his mind.
In his mind, all of this was beautified by the idea that "Tan Chi did it for me".
Eli propped his elbows on the table, interlacing his fingers, and then coughed lightly. "Achi did indeed act a bit recklessly. There are so many ways to discipline a bug, but he chose such a... flamboyant method. He really needs to be talked to."
His tone was reproachful, but his words were light and indifferent, completely condoning.
"And what about that experimental subject you just mentioned? What is that thing? How can it be so powerful? Isn't he afraid of getting hurt?!"
Lutkar raised his brow slightly before continuing, "It's a new type of high-polymer air bomb developed in the laboratory. Its power is controllable, but its shockwave characteristics are unique."
Eli's eyes narrowed dangerously. "How did he get his hands on something like this from the Graham family?"
If he were to get hurt, wouldn't that be a losing proposition?
Lutkar understood Eli's concerns, so he quickly said, "The lord was deployed to the Graham family through miniature mechanical insects, so no trace of other star beasts or insects can be found."
These were all phrases that Letekar had prepared before coming to the military headquarters.
Tan Chi didn't intend to tell any of the insects that his spiritual power could be used to launch attacks externally.
Even if this insect is Tan Chi's brother, it won't work.
After all, the consciousness within Tan Chi is not Eli's biological brother.
He treated that bad guy well before, but he was worried about what they might do if they found out that Tan Chi wasn't actually Tan Chi...
He didn't want to gamble on any possibilities.
All he wanted was for his mighty lord to remain safe and by his side!
Eli nodded thoughtfully. "In that case, this matter must be suppressed. We absolutely cannot implicate Achi."
Even if it was done by disguised as a wandering star beast, it's better than letting the outside world know the truth.
Is it reasonable for an imperial prince to blow up the wall of an imperial nobleman's house for his own brother?
Lutkar had clearly anticipated Eli's reaction, and then spoke again, saying, "The military is easy to handle. Now, as long as we keep the Graham family in the dark, this matter can be easily resolved."
Eli paused slightly, "I'm afraid the Graham family's situation will be difficult to handle..."
This incident caused quite a stir and even seriously injured the male insects in their family.
I'm afraid they won't be willing to resolve this amicably.
If the other party finds out that this matter is related to the royal family, they might ask for an exorbitant price.
Letekar's expression was somewhat subtle. "I've left this matter... to Mien."
“Mien?” Eli suddenly paused.
That's when she remembered that Mien had married Graham.
He had previously visited Graham's house on behalf of the military to reprimand Ulliel.
I never imagined I'd need Mien's help to find his lord...
Times really do change.
Letkar nodded. "It seems there shouldn't be any major problems. Yuriel dotes on Mien and agreed very readily."
Eli: "???"
Is that all?
He asked hesitantly, "What about Acosta? Aren't they going to pursue this?"
He's a male beetle from the Graham family, and I heard he's even a Grade A male.
The Graham family must have taken this very seriously.
"Uh... I heard that Yuriel sent Acosta to appease the female soldier whose mental state was about to go berserk..."
Luttcar casually revealed the news, leaving Eli speechless.
Should the family's A-grade male beetle be sent to soothe the female soldier whose mental state is about to go berserk?
