Chapter 457 Compared to other unreasonable male insects, this is a little angel!
If it weren't for his powerful father, there would be no room for the royal family to exist.
Tan Chi thought for a moment, then continued, "The Insect God gave me these things because he values our royal family. It is only right that I give them to the royal family. Father, please don't overthink it."
As the Insect King listened to Tan Chi's words of comfort, he took Tan Chi's small hand in return, and the bitterness in his heart was replaced by a huge sense of pride.
His Ah Chi is truly a lucky star who came to save the royal family.
The Insect King took a deep breath and calmed himself down before he remembered something else.
“Achi, your female father doesn’t object to you and Letekar going to the auction. But… I’m worried that Simon, unable to outmaneuver your male father, will turn his attention to you. How about I send a team of elite guards to protect you both?”
Tan Chi shook his head decisively, "That would be too conspicuous. I just want to take Letekar out to broaden his horizons and help him relax."
Seeing this, the Insect King frowned even more deeply. "But it would be too dangerous for you to go alone."
If that bastard Simon doesn't have any sense of morality and just kidnaps his kid, then Simon might get his way!
Tan Chi originally wanted to say that he didn't need protection, as his mental strength and the mechanical insects that followed them were sufficient.
Even if I said that, I doubt the Insect King would believe me.
He'll definitely have to prove it then.
Tan Chi was worried that if he really proved it, the Insect King would be even more reluctant to let him go out.
After all, a male insect larva that can project its spiritual energy is more attractive to insects than a royal male insect larva.
Never mind, never mind.
Thinking this through, Tan Chi had no choice but to back down.
"Father, I know you're worried about us. Here's what you can do: you can arrange for insects to protect us in secret, as long as they don't interfere with our journey."
This way, he can continue to take Letecar to the auctions.
Hearing that Tan Chi agreed to secretly protect him, the Insect King's tense nerves relaxed a little.
He understood Tan Chi's personality; once he made a decision, it was difficult to change it.
Thankfully he agreed, otherwise he would have been in a real predicament.
The Insect King pondered for a moment, then thought of something, "Well... your eldest brother is free these days, so let him go with you! With him there, I'll feel more at ease."
Although Eli is not yet an adult, her combat prowess as a female soldier is beyond doubt.
They just lacked experience.
Tan Chi originally wanted to refuse directly, but the words were on the tip of his tongue when he seemed to have thought of something else.
He finally nodded and agreed.
That's fine.
It's time for Eli to broaden his horizons; he happens to have a good idea that requires his older brother's help.
Let him go to the auction first to experience the atmosphere, so that in the future... he can share some of the burden with him.
Seeing that Tan Chi agreed so readily, the Insect King was finally relieved. "Alright, it's settled then. I'll go arrange the guards and inform that kid Eli. You two can have some fun in five days."
...
The next day, early morning.
Inside the Smith family's main courtyard.
Aaron was adjusting Ak's cuffs in the living room when a female soldier walked in.
"Major General Aaron, a message has come from the Imperial Palace."
Aaron paused, turned to the female soldier, and asked, "What is it? Does His Highness the Second Prince have any new instructions?"
Recently, Aaron has been working on the sales of natural plants.
The latest natural plants have been delivered to their family's warehouse, but so far, Tan Chi has not allowed them to sell them.
They said they would wait until a month later to allow all the insects to pre-order.
Even reservations require a lottery system.
He initially thought this situation would definitely dampen the enthusiasm of the nobles, but to his surprise, they became even more enthusiastic.
Aaron had to admit that Tan Chi was truly a business genius.
They even understood the male insects' competitive spirit.
He can now receive large sums of money every day simply by sitting in the military headquarters; it couldn't be more enjoyable.
As for the portion for the royal family, he had already made proper preparations.
He would never hesitate to give the God of Wealth a share; otherwise, he would truly be a fool.
Upon seeing this, Junci immediately reported, "His Highness the Second Prince said he will be attending a black market auction in five days and asked our people to help promote the black market auction."
Afterwards, Junci handed over the information that Tan Chi had given her.
As soon as Aaron took it, he felt a weight in his arms. He saw Ak's head nuzzle against his chest, and Ak grumbled unhappily, "The Queen wants to talk to Ak. We're at home now. The Queen belongs to Ak, an insect."
Aaron: "..."
Although he was still a little unaccustomed to being so close to a male insect, he had to admit that he was very satisfied with this male master.
He never refuses any of his decisions, and even if he is not satisfied, he will only look at him with pitiful eyes.
If you give him even the smallest favor, he'll happily come up and cling to you; he's incredibly easy to please.
He doesn't have the bad habits of those male insects outside, nor does he think about other female insects.
In short, it's great.
He was naturally willing to reciprocate with more sincerity towards this male insect.
Aaron gently hugged Ak. "Yes, Lord Ak is right, but your queen sometimes needs to work at home too, so Ak, please be understanding of your queen, okay?"
Ak pouted, "Then the Queen will have to coax Ak a little, like she has to be all lovey-dovey..."
Aaron: "..."
Okay, okay.
Compared to other unreasonable male insects, this is a little angel!
He nodded, then continued speaking to the female soldier beside him: "Do as His Highness the Second Prince instructed, and try to make sure that most of the nobles know about this black market auction."
Aaron guessed that this auction was probably closely related to Tan Chi. If he wanted the outside world to know, it was because he wanted the items at the auction to fetch a good price.
Then we'll naturally need to find a few suckers to go through with it.
After thinking for a moment, the female soldier asked, "Are our Smith family's insects still going?"
Aaron narrowed his eyes. "Of course we should go, and it would be best if several of us went."
In case the auction's publicity is inadequate, his people can help fill the gap in a timely manner.
Although this possibility is not high.
But it's always better to be prepared.
"By the way, it would be best to find a few more skilled female soldiers to secretly maintain the security of this auction."
Aaron added another sentence before gesturing for the female soldier to leave.
For a moment, only Ak and Aaron remained in the room.
Ak snuggled closer to Aaron, his head tucking in again. "Queen, let's get closer..."
He raised his chin slightly, looking at Aaron with anticipation, his eyes seemingly filled with stars.
Aaron found it hard to resist such a charming male insect, so he simply lowered his head and gently kissed his lips. Feeling the male insect's obedience, he unconsciously pressed closer to him.
