Chapter 227 It's best not to let him find out who this bastard is!
Lanetta's side won't let him off easy either!
“Then I’ll contact Letecar right now!” Michael was overjoyed and was about to leave when Laneta stopped him.
"There's no need to rush to find him."
He paused, looked at Michele, and continued, "I have something more important for you to do."
Michelle's hands clenched involuntarily, and that bad premonition rose in her heart again.
More important things?
What could be more important than getting money from Letecal?
As Michele was deep in thought, Lanetta spoke up again, "Go and have a good talk with the Thomas family about the mineral resources issue from before."
They've already won the bid for the mine, but the Thomas family hasn't reacted at all.
He went all in with the Thomas family, using his entire fortune.
If they control the mineral resources and have no intention of sharing the wealth with him...
Upon hearing this, Michele's heart clenched instantly.
How could he have forgotten about that?
Michael realized that in order to acquire this mineral resource, Lanetta and Simon had distracted Tanchi and Eli by having the insects distract them, and then they successfully obtained ownership of the asteroid.
Things were going too smoothly, which gave him a vague sense of unease.
Just like when they acquired ownership of the sugarcane.
Everything seemed to be going so smoothly, but what happened next...?
Michele glanced at Ranetta but dared not say anything.
He was afraid that if he said it, Lanetta would not only not take it seriously, but would also think that he was jinxing him.
Michelle lowered her eyelids and immediately put on a docile and obedient look, replying, "Yes, Father, I'll do it right away."
If this asteroid also causes problems, Lanetta will definitely not let him off the hook.
He wanted to remarry as soon as possible before the asteroid mining operation went wrong.
Otherwise, he might not have been able to leave Lanetta alive.
...
Because of Bass's appearance, the Insect King did not appear for three consecutive days.
On the fourth day, he summoned Tanchi, Letekar, and Eli to the palace.
Tan Chi looked at the Insect King, who was sitting in the first seat with a radiant smile, and raised his eyebrows slightly.
It seems... this cheap male father of his is actually quite capable.
In just three days, the Insect King transformed from its previous listless state into something so radiant and dazzling.
Sure enough, female insects still need a male insect to take good care of them.
As Tan Chi was thinking this, his gaze fell on Bass, and he saw that Bass had a sour face and seemed very unhappy about their arrival.
Tsk, that damn domineering CEO.
He could not tolerate the characteristics of any other insect besides his female insect.
For a moment, he didn't know whether he should feel fortunate for the Insect King or...emmmm.
In the Zerg society where males are superior to females, being domineeringly favored by a male Zerg, to the point that no other Zerg can tolerate, is considered a good thing.
For most female insects, the idea of having a single male insect's exclusive affection is simply a pipe dream.
No wonder the Insect King was so disheartened after losing Bass.
Tsk, now it'll probably be difficult for him to calm down.
"Ahem... I called you all here today to discuss what's going to happen next."
The Insect King coughed lightly, then quietly patted Bass's hand to comfort him.
Afterwards, the Insect King looked around at the insects present and said slowly, "You all know that Bass has returned, so I want to hold a banquet to reveal Bass's identity."
He discussed it with Bass during his "free time" these past few days, but he wasn't very willing. Only after several days of "hard work" did he finally agree.
However, he may have an even tougher time in the next few days.
He hasn't exercised properly in so many years, and these past two days his excellent little body has been struggling to keep up.
Fortunately, there were medical pods inside the palace, otherwise he might have lost his insect today.
Tan Chi and Eli exchanged a glance, both understanding each other's meaning.
So Eli brought it up.
"Female father, male father, the banquet can be arranged, but the time may have to be postponed."
Eli's voice was calm, his gaze briefly sweeping over Bass and the Insect King before continuing, "Regarding the disappearance of the male father, Achi and I have sent insects to investigate these past two days, and we discovered that the space pirate robbery that the male father encountered was not an accident."
It was as if some insects had deliberately bribed these insects to do this.
"What?!" The Insect King suddenly stood up, his whole body trembling slightly.
He had felt guilty all along; if he hadn't let Bass go on a trip alone, this probably wouldn't have happened.
He even regretted that he had been too busy and hadn't been with Bass, which led to the accident.
Eli, however, now says that the situation at the time was not an accident.
His face immediately darkened. "Have you found out which scoundrel is behind this?"
The Insect King immediately thought of all his former rivals.
When he became the Insect Emperor, the empire was not at peace, so he didn't have much time to spend with Bass.
In order to find more suitable tourist attractions for the world of the two insects, Bass often went out alone with his guards to find these interesting places.
It's so that when they have the opportunity to go out, they can have a pleasant time.
Who knows...
He narrowed his eyes, thinking it best he didn't want to find out who this bastard was!
Otherwise, he would definitely tear him apart!
Eli shook his head slightly. "So far, we've only found out that the insects tampered with the father's spaceship, and one of the space pirates we caught happened to be from the same group that attacked the father."
As he said this, he seemed to remember something and added, "Recently, space pirates have been rampant, so the First Legion has captured quite a few space pirates who came out to rob. According to them, they all seem to have been scammed, which is why they came out to rob."
Tan Chi: "..."
Sure enough, the 001 wire scam was quite widespread back then; now even space pirates are starting to form gangs to rob people.
It seems he needs to hurry up and get his lab to develop more new weapons, quietly trying to soothe his older brother's wounded heart.
Upon hearing this, the Insect King frowned. "With so many space pirates causing trouble, can you handle it?"
Eli chuckled lightly, "These space pirates are nothing to worry about. They're probably out of money, and their ships don't even have many basic weapons. They'll be easily wiped out."
Previously, if they encountered space pirates of the same level, they had to be extremely careful to annihilate them all.
Now that several pirate crews have appeared together, it's just a matter of a simple matter of taking them down.
He even felt a little grateful to the bug who had tricked the group of space pirates back then; it had truly made an outstanding contribution to the Empire's crackdown on space pirates!
