Chapter 202 Pinocchio (14) Master and Pet
Hanunu almost laughed in anger after hearing his words.
The werewolf brazenly sized up He Yuan, "Why should I become your agent?"
Hanunu knew that He Yuan had a trick up his sleeve, but he was also confident that his skills were no worse than anyone else's.
If he didn't have military power, he wouldn't have been able to raise such a large rebel army.
He Yuan grasped his hand and said defiantly, "Then let's try!"
"There are so many people here, I won't break my promise, and I believe you won't either."
Hanunu lowered his gun, his face showing approval. "I do dislike you, but your personality is quite good."
Crane Kite: "...?"
Look at your 80% favorability rating before you speak.
Another person who doesn't have a clear understanding of themselves.
No, perhaps it shouldn't be called human; it should be called a werewolf.
He'd seen plenty of people like that who said one thing but meant another.
He Yuan pretended not to know his true thoughts, tossed her loose jacket aside, and it landed precisely in the arms of one of her underlings.
He tilted his head and said to the other side, "Could you get this for me? Thanks."
Without the jacket to conceal him, the young man's supple physique was on full display. The black, fitted fabric tightly wrapped around his slender yet powerful upper body, and the lines of his waist and the hollow at his lower back drew the eye.
Werewolves have very keen ears.
Hanunu clearly heard gasps from the crowd, glared fiercely around, and ripped off the suit jacket and top hat she was wearing to make a show of her status.
He will definitely win.
The sharp claws aimed straight at Crane Kite's face, but were blocked by her slender fingers, leaving no wound.
Then, with swift and decisive movements, he pinned Hanunu to the ground.
Crane sat sideways on the other's back, one hand on Hanunu's shoulder and back, the other hand raised to the sky, admiring her newly done manicure.
Lazarina made it for him, it looks really nice.
"Are you convinced?"
The young man brazenly grabbed Hanunu's ear, turning his face halfway to face him, saying, "You can hit me again if you're not satisfied."
The werewolf gritted his teeth, his eyes fierce, and seized the moment when He Yuan relaxed her grip, biting down on her slender white wrist.
Crane Kite wriggled free in pain and stepped on Hanunu's back. "It can bite? Looks like I need to train it a bit."
These words were spoken without any attempt to conceal their meaning, and the henchmen watching nearby heard them clearly.
Tune, tune. Whom should we teach?
The younger brother's face was blank.
Who trained the boss?
So who will they listen to from now on?
The leader has been defeated. Should they acknowledge the new leader, or should they call her "sister-in-law"?
But this sister-in-law is a man!
"The boss isn't human, what does it matter whether his wife is a man or a woman!" someone muttered to themselves. "Besides, look at the boss, he's probably still not convinced."
Hanunu was indeed unconvinced.
His face was pressed to the ground, rubbing a few hairs off, and he struggled defiantly.
He Yuan easily subdued him, grabbed his ear, and lifted the werewolf's face, making him face his subordinates.
A gentle voice whispered in her ear, like a kiss, "Still not convinced? Your little brothers are watching."
He's so mean, treating Hanunu like that.
He Yuan smiled as she criticized herself, but her grip didn't loosen at all.
He wants to be a bad guy.
Besides, as long as Hanunu is willing to listen, he is willing to be gentle.
Hanunu's expression remained unchanged as she scoffed, "Do you think I would bow down because of this?"
He Yuan gently groomed his fur, then disdainfully patted the dust onto Hanunu's clothes. "So, what are your thoughts?"
"I admire you very much and am willing to listen to your thoughts."
They've completely retaliated.
Hanunu spat out a mouthful of blood, "Let's have another match. If you lose this time, you can use whatever you want with me."
...That's terrible. How could he compare himself to an object?
He Yuan didn't think too much about it, loosened his grip and took a few steps back, waiting for Hanunu to get up.
This time, the punches were much fiercer than the last, each one deadly, as if they were meant to kill him.
It's not hard to understand.
After all, he was humiliated by himself, so he was indeed a little angry.
Hanunu looked ready for a life-or-death battle, while Heyuan was calm and collected, leading people around the arena like walking a dog.
If that were all, it wouldn't be so bad, but He Yuan would often make provocative gestures, such as rubbing Hanu Nu's ear, plucking a feather from his body and blowing it away, or patting his head...
In short, they completely outmaneuvered the werewolf, making him look like a dog.
Doesn't it look like it?
He Yuan said in a very soft voice.
He felt like he was being a complete idiot, but it was so much fun!
Seeing Hanunu's resentful expression, he felt all the sadness he had felt during this time vanish.
Could it be true that having a pet can improve your mood?
Crane and Kite had almost tired of teasing each other, so they stopped and once again swiftly defeated their opponent.
Keeping pets is a bit insulting.
Getting back to the main point, Hanunu fits the image of the agent in He Yuan's mind.
However... it seems he offended someone quite badly?
He Yuan adopted a friendly demeanor and extended her hand to Hanunu, "Are you convinced now?"
Hanunu grinned at him, her dusty hand slapping directly into He Yuan's palm. "Of course I'm convinced!"
"Mr. Heyuan, what do you need me to do?"
He spoke well, but he couldn't hide the anger in his eyes. Hanunu could only lower his eyes, but he found that He Yuan was smaller than him. Lowering his eyes made it easier for the other person to see him.
This made him wonder: how could a seemingly frail human possess such immense power?
Hanunu has seen lean and strong people, and they all show signs of exercise to some extent. In addition, given the distribution of body fat, no matter how much they exercise, they can't get rid of the fat around their abdomen.
Werewolves are a rather special species. They are naturally muscular and can have a physique and strength that most people envy without much exercise.
The price... is the inability to integrate into most of society, as well as a violent nature and an unresolved estrus cycle.
Crane Kite is too strange.
It seems that when God created life, He treated him with special favor, and he was perfect in every way, unlike a human.
It's said to be thanks to the bounty of abundance... Hanunu thinks that's possible.
He had never met the renowned Immortal Ship people, only knowing from a recently stolen receiver which planet the Immortal Ship Alliance had recently helped, and what the current situation of that planet was, etc.
Hanunu was so focused on listening to their plans that she didn't remember the name, only that it was called Lo 6, and that she heard it was similar to Pinocchio's.
If He Yuan has the ability to rebuild after the disaster, then Hanunu will not hold it against him for teasing him just now.
"Of course they'll tie me up and take me to the company to negotiate."
Without hesitation, He Yuan revealed the company's current situation completely: "They're busy dealing with the star core, and they don't have time to manage things here at all."
The young man confidently took the jacket and put it on, tidying his face. "If you ask me, even ten more Pinocchios wouldn't be as valuable as me."
That's an exaggeration.
The territory they needed to fight for was utterly insignificant in He Yuan's eyes.
"But in the future, this place will be on par with the company."
Hanunu also said confidently.
He Yuan smiled. "Where do you get your confidence from?"
“I lack confidence,” Hanunu said. “I just believe that people in the future will do better than me.”
The werewolf spoke calmly about the future he hoped for, his eyes filled with an expectation and sorrow that He Yuan had never seen before.
“I know my flaws, but if I’m afraid of my flaws and afraid of the road ahead, does that mean I should do nothing?” He smirked. “When we can’t even preserve the present, the future is not something we need to think about.”
They are a group of people who could die at any moment.
Crane saw a familiar emotion in Hanunu's eyes.
"Then... go ahead and do it. Leave everything in the future to me."
He couldn't do it before, but now he can make promises with ease.
He Yuan experienced the wonder of power and the convenience of authority for the first time.
Even the pursuit that he found annoying suddenly gained value.
We cannot let our guard down.
According to Aha, if he easily accepts these pursuits, what awaits him is not a bright future, but endless demands and imprisonment.
He Yuan added, "Of course, if you feel that this method cannot completely prevent a rebellion, we can be even more bloody and violent."
Once the company's employees are out of the public eye, whether they live or die is not up to him to decide.
After such a fierce battle, both sides can report back to the authorities.
He Yuan had no intention of letting more people be dragged down or even lose their lives by meaningless struggles (in his opinion), but the necessary sacrifices on paper were indeed necessary.
As for the actual operation... there are many areas where flexibility is possible.
He Yuan had been a subordinate.
Based on his experience, the thing he understands most clearly is that the interests of superiors and subordinates are rarely aligned.
Most people are only after money, and a stable way to make money. However, in the eyes of most superiors (especially within a company), subordinates are just consumable materials that can be consumed.
There are plenty of people in the galaxy who want to join the Interstellar Peace Corporation, and those who are lost can be quickly replaced, becoming the next round of expendable resources.
He Yuan is not a saint. In reality, he doesn't have that much power and can't spare more lives, but that doesn't mean he's incapable in the game.
Even if this is just data.
But the data within the data—he saved the people of Naonphalus, so there's no reason not to help them here.
He has enough power and status that he may not need to do it, but he wants to do it—that alone is enough.
Hanunu is a good leader; his two previous experiences of rebellion have taught him a lot.
Crane Kite believes that Hanunu alone can liberate Pinocone, and Hanunu's successors will also strive to develop Pinocone, making it a star event that rivals Apsseron.
"However, I need to talk to you about this separately."
This plan and idea, which seems like an absurd joke, requires Hanunu's cooperation.
Hanunu seemed to read his mind. "Alright, my dear...master? Should I call you that?"
The werewolf spoke rudely and shamefully, "I've heard that in many places people like to keep werewolves as pets. Are you one of them?"
This doesn't look like he's going to discuss something with He Yuan, it looks more like he's going to...
"It's like they're going to kill someone."
The younger brother whispered, "I think our boss has gone crazy from being beaten."
"I would go crazy too... It's no wonder I'd be angry if someone made fun of me like that in public."
The two entered the room amidst the worried gazes of the others.
Hanunu pretended to pound on the wall, then said coldly, "What plan? Tell me about it."
He Yuan looked at his quickened heartbeat and didn't know what to say.
It's better not to expose him, otherwise it will be quite awkward.
He Yuan quickly explained his plan.
"As you know, the company employees who are still here... they don't want to have a conflict, but this is the company's order, and both sides have their own difficulties."
People who join the company usually have family and friends behind them, so even if they feel aggrieved, they can only swallow their pride and bear it.
Hanunu's side consisted mostly of outlaws who were alone before going to prison. Now, they were rebelling with Hanunu and had only formed their own connections within the rebel army.
Hanunu understood, but he also bluntly said, "I agree with your thoughts and character, but this matter is not that simple."
Not all employees are forced into this situation.
If prison life here weren't so unbearable, Hanunu wouldn't have bothered to rebel.
"...Do you have a specific list?" He Yuan asked. "I will find out those people one by one, precisely."
Hanunu bluntly commented, "You're too idealistic."
"Furthermore, what makes you think you can judge them—based solely on my word?"
He Yuan grabbed his ear hard, kicked Hanunu's knee, and forced him to kneel down. "Then what makes you think I'll only listen to your side of the story?"
"Hmm? My pet."
What, haven't you had enough of being beaten yet?

I hope to finish the main story before it reaches a million words; my brain is about to explode.
