Chapter 388 Do you want to join forces with me?
"Gurgle—!"
Timothy shoved Roronoa's head hard into the bathtub filled with cold water.
The cold water instantly submerged his mouth and nose, and the feeling of suffocation assaulted Roronoa's chaotic consciousness.
He struggled desperately, splashing water everywhere and soaking Timothy's clothes.
He calculated the time in his mind without expression, and just before Roronoa was about to suffocate completely, he suddenly pulled him up again, giving him room to catch his breath.
This went on and on until Roronoa was like a dead worm, barely struggling anymore, before Timothy tossed him aside.
"Cough! Cough cough cough!" Roronoa coughed violently, a brief moment of clarity returning to his scarlet eyes. "Timothy! What's wrong with you?! Let me go! Do you believe I'll tell His Majesty Lele and make sure you can't even get into your bedroom tonight?!"
Timothy chuckled upon hearing this. "Ha. You've remembered everything now?"
Sure enough, when he was on the verge of death, he was able to remember his past life.
By now, Roronoa should remember everything, right?
But it doesn't matter, it doesn't affect his desire to teach this foul-mouthed guy a lesson!
The next second, Roronoa's head was ruthlessly pushed into the water again, only this time for a longer period of time.
When he was pulled out of the water again, Roronoa didn't dare to get angry at him at all.
She could only accuse him with a dissatisfied look.
"Roronoa, look carefully! This isn't the previous life! Take a close look at where you are. And how did you get here?"
As soon as Timothy finished speaking, Roronoa was stunned for a moment.
It took me a long time to come out of my daze.
Didn't he die in his previous life because of the invasion of the Star Beasts?
How did I end up here?
After he sorted out his memories from both lifetimes, Roronoa's pupils suddenly contracted.
This life is completely different from the last one!
"Damn it!" Roronoa roared furiously after a moment, "Which bastard dared to sell me to the black market auction! I'll tear him apart!"
Timothy released him, then slowly stood up, looking down at him condescendingly. "Power and money, do you have those now? Even if you've been reborn, you still haven't gained much of a brain!"
Want to tear other insects apart by hand?
What capital does he have?
Relying on his pirate crew, which was hunted down by all other space pirates?
Or was it because of his status as a fugitive who could hardly protect himself?
Or perhaps with his empty mind?
Even though Timothy didn't say it, his disdainful look said it all.
Roronoa froze, his face turning extremely pale.
He had to admit that he truly had nothing in this life.
Roronoa sat on the ground, feeling utterly defeated. After a moment, he seemed to remember something, looked up at Timothy, and said, "Let me go first. I have to leave here now!"
Although he is not as glorious as he was in his previous life, he still cannot bring himself to submit to a male insect!
Especially Laneta!
He couldn't help but feel nauseous when he thought about that video!
"You want to escape?" Timothy laughed as if he'd heard the biggest joke in the world. "Penniless, where can you run to? Escaping this cage is just falling into an even bigger one. There are plenty of bugs waiting to catch you out there!"
Roronoa gritted his teeth in resentment, his gaze sweeping over Timothy, hesitating to speak, "If I don't run away, am I supposed to end up like you, being bought by this useless male insect and used as a plaything? I can't do that!"
When he said this, his eyes were filled with undisguised contempt.
Timothy's eyes instantly darkened, a sharp sneer curling at the corner of his lips. "A plaything? If I, this 'plaything,' hadn't knocked Laneta unconscious just now, you'd be the one being toyed with right now!"
Roronoa choked and was speechless.
He had to admit that Timothy was right.
In that situation just now, if Timothy hadn't shown up, he wouldn't have had a chance to talk to him at all.
The room fell silent for a moment, and cold water dripped down his hair, bringing a chill.
After a long silence, Roronoa asked in a low voice, unwilling to give up, "Then what should we do? Should we go to Michele? He must have a way, right?"
Timothy's eyes turned icy cold. "Who do you think offered to buy you from Ranetta? It was Michele, the man you've been so obsessed with. He's the one who sent you to this hellhole!"
"What?" Roronoa looked up abruptly, his face drained of color, filled with disbelief. "No... impossible! He must have been trying to save me!"
Timothy scoffed. "Nothing is impossible. You say he did it to save you? Where is he now?"
Roronoa: "..."
Seeing his dejected appearance, Timothy scoffed and patted him on the shoulder, saying, "In the last life, when the Star Beasts broke through the Empire's defenses and launched a full-scale attack, Michaeli pushed me out to shield me from the beasts. So, whether in the last life or this life, he has no heart."
He shattered Roronoa's last glimmer of hope, making him give up on Michele.
"Then what am I going to do?" Roronoa looked at Timothy blankly for a moment.
Previously, he was never the one to come up with ideas among the five male insects, so naturally he couldn't think of any good solutions now.
So we can only place our hopes on Timothy.
Timothy naturally understood what Roronoa meant.
He chuckled lightly. "Want to join forces with me? Let's take down the Lanetta family together!"
Lanetta is a fool who only thinks with his lower body. In his branch of the Lanetta family, he is the only male insect, and his three sons are all female insects.
The two female soldiers had long since married off, only Michelle still came back frequently.
If they can control Lanetta, it's equivalent to controlling the Lanetta family.
It's not difficult to coax him, give him some medicine, and make him obey.
Timothy briefly explained things to Roronoa, which made him hesitate again.
"Wasn't the male lord of Michaela one of us five male insects? Couldn't we have asked other insects for help?"
Timothy raised an eyebrow. "You should remember how Leo transformed from a male into a non-male, right?"
Roronoa: "..."
He certainly remembered that he thought Michael had deceived him, so he kidnapped his lord and... beat him.
Roronoa really doesn't want to face this right now.
So he changed the subject, "What about Acosta? He should be the head of the Graham family now, right? And Hard..."
Roronoa fell silent again at this point.
Because he suddenly remembered that the Thomas family had gone bankrupt, and as the male of the Thomas family, Hader's situation was probably not much better.
That leaves only Acosta.
Timothy couldn't help but laugh when he saw that he still looked unwilling to give up. "I don't know if he became the head of the family, but I do know that the current head of the Graham family is a madman. I heard that not long ago he sent Acosta to be a comfort insect for a female insect whose mental sea had gone berserk..."
