It's one o'clock in the afternoon.
Adrian, accompanied by his entourage Martin and Shen Jun, along with Bion and Xinle, arrived at Yushui Bay Villa, greeted by Lin Zhong.
"Your Highness, I apologize for disturbing you." Shen Jun was the face of Adrian's side, polite and courteous, unlike Martin who was unreliable.
A group of people gathered in the living room, and Qiao You automatically sat down next to Xinle. "Try this!"
"My brother made this ice cream himself!"
Xinle, who had been keeping her head down, slowly raised it a little and looked timidly at Qiao You.
Qiao You didn't urge him, but looked at Xin Le with a smile on his lips and his eyes were full of encouragement.
Xinle hesitated for a while before accepting the ice cream, and thanked him quietly and sincerely.
Each of them held an ice cream cone and huddled together to watch cartoons.
Just as Su Yinchen was about to leave, she received a video call from Wu Si, so she had to postpone her departure and take care of the matter on Lyra Star.
"Sorry everyone, I'm late." Su Yinchen has a cheerful personality and a gentle appearance. In terms of appearance alone, she is much more approachable than Helian Jue.
In just a few words, he became familiar with Bion and Adrian.
Su Xia automatically moved next to Qiao You and officially joined the cartoon-watching team.
“Xinle, this is Su Xia.” Qiao You acted as the middleman.
Xinle greeted Su Xia shyly, but her gaze towards Su Xia held a hint of... envy?
Qiao You glanced at him several times, unsure if he was truly envious.
In a 15-minute episode of the animated series, Xinle peeks at Su Xia's tail a whopping 20 times.
Xinle envies Su Xia's tail?
Qiao You was very puzzled. Xia Xia's tail was beautiful, a green that symbolized vitality, but did she have to keep peeking at it?
Su Xia noticed this as well and exchanged glances with Qiao You without making a sound.
There is a 70% chance that Xinle is a merman.
Qiao You received the message from Su Xia and indicated that he understood.
It seems that the older brother's guess was right. How can we get Xinle to tell them the truth?
Qiao You was somewhat worried, sigh...
The conversation between Helian Jue and the others mainly revolved around the alliance, which made Bion sweat profusely and break out in a cold sweat.
“This is an accident I witnessed by chance when I was on Blue Water Star last time.” Helian Jue gestured to Lin Zhong to pull up a video.
A man melted in the street, turning into a pool of green solution.
The video was short, but it had a significant impact on everyone present.
"This is the test report for the solution," Lin Zhong continued, "which contains a genetic sequence of a six-legged spider unique to the Alliance planet—the Insect Planet."
Helian Jue and Su Yinchen observed Adrian and Bion's expressions discreetly.
Adrian must have been aware of the league's actions beforehand; there was a hint of shock in his eyes, but his emotions remained relatively stable.
In contrast, Bion's expression was much more complex.
His eyes held deep conflict, trepidation, panic, unease, and self-reproach...
There was no shock, except for that.
Su Yinchen stood up casually, indignantly asking, "Is the Alliance conducting species hybridization experiments? Combining the genes of other organisms with humans?"
"This is absolutely outrageous."
The sound was so loud that even the three people watching the cartoon couldn't help but look at Su Yinchen.
Su Yinchen had already walked up to Bion. "Don't you think so, Mr. Bion?"
Bion was completely unprepared; the voice beside him startled him utterly, and he instinctively stammered, "I...I don't know, we weren't involved in the experiments on the Insect Planet..."
Adrian straightened up abruptly, first glancing at Bion, then immediately turning his gaze to Helian Jue.
Sure enough, this person had an air of complete control and had suspected Bion's identity from the very beginning.
So they were deliberately brought here to test them?
Damn it! No wonder he couldn't win!
Adrian's pirate leader aura instantly burst forth; this guy is fucking ruthless!
Su Yinchen put on a dramatic performance, "Oh dear, Mr. Bion, what are you saying?"
"I don't understand."
"What kind of insectoid experiment?"
Su Xia's face was sour. Could Su Yinchen's acting be any more fake? I really wanted to lash out with my tail! It's infuriating!
Bion suddenly realized what was happening, his face turned pale, and he sat there in a daze.
The living room fell silent. Helian Jue slowly stood up, walked to Bion, and said slowly, "Mr. Bion, as His Highness the Crown Prince of the Empire, I sincerely invite you to cooperate with us."
"These experiments by the Alliance will not only endanger the people of the Alliance, but also the people of the entire interplanet. If they are not stopped, the collective fate of humanity may come to an end."
"We are just one of countless living beings. How can we, for our own selfish gain, lead our entire race to the brink of extinction?"
Seeing that Bion's expression was softening, Helian Jue continued, "The alliance's higher-ups have already gone astray; they can't afford to make the same mistake again."
“Mr. Adrian’s father was also a White Star official.” Helian Jue brought Adrian into the picture. “Faced with matters of great importance, Mr. Adrian was willing to work with me for the continuation and prosperity of the race.”
Bion looked up at Helian Jue, "Can you protect... Xinle?"
Helian Jue returned an affirmative look, "Of course, I roughly know his identity."
Bion lowered his head once more. Given the current situation, he had no choice but to cooperate with the Crown Prince of the Empire…
For his conscience, for Xinle, and even more so for the countless innocent people and other creatures...
Bion clenched his fists tightly, slowly stood up, tilted his head slightly, and looked Helian Jue in the eye. "I can cooperate with you."
"But I have three conditions."
Helian Jue did not agree immediately. "What are your conditions first?"
Bion glanced at Xinle, who looked anxious, and smiled reassuringly.
"First, we must protect Xinle and not let him... fall into danger."
"Secondly, find a doctor to treat Xinle properly."
"Third, spare Kerry Harry's life."
Kerry was his teacher, the teacher who saved him from danger. This time, he left with Xinle, causing his teacher a huge mess. He didn't know what would happen to his teacher...
Bion dared not think about it too much; after all, he had let down his teacher's trust and guidance.
Currently, in Shirahoshi's merman transformation laboratory, only the teacher is capable of performing all the merman transformation surgeries. Mr. An should be lenient towards him.
“Kerry Harry is my teacher. He’s not a bad person, he’s just…” Bion was worried that Helian Jue would disagree, so he quickly defended him.
Helian Jue interrupted Bion, "I promise you."
Bion breathed a sigh of relief, and after catching his breath, said, "Let's talk somewhere else."
Lin Zhong immediately got up and led the way, moving the conversation from the living room to the study.
