When Agu was sent here yesterday, he was unkempt and looked like a little beggar. In addition, his skin was dark, and the only thing that could be seen clearly was a row of big white teeth in his mouth. After finally washing it clean today, Phaeth stared at his face for a long time, and always felt an indescribable sense of familiarity, as if he had seen it somewhere before.
Where have I seen it before
Phaeth stretched out his hand and pinched the insect's chin, forcing it to look up at him. He couldn't help but frown and fell into deep thought. He narrowed his eyes and carefully looked at Agu's facial features. When his gaze met those green eyes, something flashed through his mind -
It's him
Phaeth was startled, and finally remembered who the female insect in front of him looked like. Agu, except for being a little dark and thin, looked 70% like Zog when he was a child!
But how is this possible? !
As if to confirm something, Phaeth asked in a deep voice, "How old are you, little one?"
Agu bared his teeth and said, "Roar!"
Agu didn't know if it was because he was displaced as a child and often picked up animal bones to chew to satisfy his hunger, which hurt his vocal cords and made him unable to speak.
Xu Cenfeng stood nearby and took in the whole scene. He knew that Phaeth must have discovered something. He gently held down the other's arm, signaling Phaeth not to scare Agu, and explained, "He has a problem with his throat and hasn't learned to speak yet."
He paused again after he finished speaking, and looked at Phaeth in confusion: "What's wrong? Why are you asking this all of a sudden?"
Phaeth obviously didn't understand Xu Cenfeng's meaning. He just thought this question was quite redundant and sneered: "Nonsense, if I don't send him back, do I have to raise this kid for the rest of his life?"
He wanted to know what Phaeth would choose, after all, the other party hated betrayal the most in his life.
Phaeth didn't remember how many years the child had been lost, but he was about the same age as Agu.
"nothing."
Phaeth raised his chin slightly, motioned calmly to Agu, who was squatting at the stairs scratching the railing with his claws, and said unhappily, "That female insect cub looks a lot like Zog when he was a child, and happens to be in his teens as well."
Xu Cenfeng said lightly: "Just curious."
Phaeth frowned unconsciously when he heard this. He felt that Xu Cenfeng seemed a little strange today, or maybe it was not just today, but his behavior had always been strange: "Why do you ask that?"
Are you kidding? He hasn’t even considered whether he will have worm babies in the future, so how could he raise other people’s worm babies for free
Phaeth's eyelids jumped violently, and he corrected him dissatisfiedly, "He is Zog's biological brother."
Phaeth sat absentmindedly on the chair, tapping the tabletop regularly with his fingertips, wondering what he was thinking: "I seemed to have told you yesterday that Zog has a younger brother?"
Phaeth couldn't be sure of the truth of this matter, so he could only temporarily let go of the struggling Agu and planned to send him back to Admiral Weather for a blood test. He saw Xu Cenfeng looking at him "confusedly" and didn't explain. When he sat down at the dining table, he said his guess.
Xu Cenfeng paused for a moment after hearing this, pretending not to understand: "What do you mean?"
Phaeth said in an ambiguous tone, "Actually, he didn't die young. Admiral Weather was stationed abroad and fought in a war. Not long after the child was born, he was stolen by an enemy general. It's just that they haven't found him for more than ten years, so everyone thought he was dead."
Xu Cenfeng suddenly asked, "If Admiral Weather betrays you one day in the future, will you regret returning his insect cub today?"
Xu Cenfeng sat opposite and ate quietly: "Well, you said he died young."
Xu Cenfeng turned around and looked at Agu, with a flash of surprise on his face: "You mean this bug cub is likely to be your cousin?"
From Xu Cenfeng's perspective, Phaeth should raise Agu secretly at this moment, and use him as a bargaining chip to threaten Admiral Weather when he rebels. This is the most effective and bloodless way.
After hearing this, Phaeth actually thought about it for a moment. He didn't bring a gun when he went downstairs today, so he stretched out his hand and made a gun gesture. His narrow eyes narrowed slightly, and he locked onto Xu Cenfeng like a prey. A cruel arc appeared on his lips, and he said half-truthfully, "I will kill him. No insect can betray me."
In fact, Phaeth had long forgotten that he had a cousin, but Xu Cenfeng asked him about it several times yesterday, which made him remember that when Admiral Weather was fighting outside, his young son Oguz was stolen by the enemy and there has been no news of him for more than ten years.
Xu Cenfeng retracted his gaze upon hearing this, thinking that Zog's biological brother was Phaeth's cousin. He held the chopsticks, and inexplicably remembered that in his previous life, Admiral Weather and Yenia had launched a mutiny together. After a moment of silence, he asked, "Do you want to send Agu back to Admiral Weather?"
This little bug is black and ugly, just like a skinny monkey. How can it look like his cousin
Even though Horsburg is a place that worships betrayal, they yearn for all the darkness that goes against light.
Xu Cenfeng: "Who did you kill?"
Faeus said as a matter of course: "Of course it's Admiral Weather."
Xu Cenfeng paused: "What about Agu?"
Phaeth casually leaned back in his chair, his shirt collar slightly open, revealing a bronzed, muscular chest. The kiss marks from last night were still there, adding a hint of ambiguity: "Only a coward would mess with a weak bug."
What this means is that Agu will still be sent back to Admiral Weather.
Xu Cenfeng subconsciously looked at Phaeth when he heard this. To be honest, he didn't expect the other party to answer like this. He was inevitably a little surprised: "Are you sure?"
Phaeth raised his eyebrows, wondering why this western male insect was so surprised, and said meaningfully: "The North respects ambition, not vulgarity."
No matter how shameless he is, he would not make a fuss about such things.
It has to be said that Xu Cenfeng was a little surprised. He felt like he had accepted all the cold-blooded cruelty and tyranny of the female insect in front of him, including all the shortcomings, big and small, but one day he was suddenly surprised to find that there were still some shining points in the other party.
Quite rare...
Xu Cenfeng smiled imperceptibly, then lowered his head to continue eating. He picked up a piece of food for Phaeth and said, "Then send Agu back as soon as possible. Admiral Weather will be very happy."
Phaeth hummed, "Call a doctor to do a blood test later, and contact Admiral Weather to come after the results are confirmed."
He remembered something after a moment, and slowly added a story: "In fact, the enemy stole the bug cub just to threaten Admiral Weather to surrender, but he did not agree. Later, the bug cub was thrown away somewhere and there has been no news for more than ten years... The previous leader once said that the empire owed Admiral Weather for this matter." So it is only right to return it.
Xu Cenfeng thought that it was no wonder that Admiral Weiser was so sad after Zog's death in the previous life. The Zerg cubs had accidents one after another, and anyone would go crazy and lose control.
Faus didn't want to cause any misunderstanding, so after dinner he called and made an appointment for a doctor to come to his home. He asked the doctor to extract Agu's DNA and bring it back to the hospital, and then compare it with Zog's blood sample sealed in the military database, and notify him as soon as there was any news.
However, before the test results came out, Admiral Weather visited Phaeth first.
In the afternoon, Xu Cenfeng was sitting upstairs reading a book when he heard a hurried doorbell ring downstairs. He looked down through the window and saw seven or eight senior military officials standing outside the door. Each of them had a solemn expression, as if something big had happened. Leading the group was Admiral Weather.
Xu Cenfeng closed the book upon seeing this, and subconsciously looked at Phaeth who was taking a nap on the bed: "Why are there so many female soldiers down there?"
Phaeth had woken up a long time ago, but hadn't gotten out of bed yet. Hearing this, he used the terminal to connect to the surveillance footage outside the door, and found that the people who came were several high-ranking military officials. They said in a playful tone, "Oh, of course they are here to settle accounts with me."
He shot Hill's lower body yesterday and the news would cause some shock, not only among the civilians but also among the military.
In this era when male insects are scarce, the disappearance of any male insect will cause the female insects to sigh and lament. After all, Hill is the male insect with the purest blood in the entire north. When the outside world learned that his lower body was shot by Phaeth, many radical female insects were furious.
That feeling is no different from a poor beggar seeing a rich man throw all the money he has into the fire, feeling sad and angry:
If you don’t want it, you can give it to me! ! ! !
Why burn it? ! !
You have to know that Phaeus is the leader of the entire north, and there are plenty of male insects for him to choose from. Even a nobleman like Zog has no worries about not having male insects to play with, but there are still a lot of female insects among the common people who can't find a partner.
Phaeth could have thrown Hill into Blackstone Prison as a solace to the prisoners there, and maybe she would have spawned a few male insect cubs if she was lucky, but he didn’t. He shot and smashed Hill’s eggs!!! What a waste of resources!!!
Many generals in the military had had an affair with Hill, so it was inevitable that they would seek some justice for their "little lover". Therefore, under the pressure of public opinion from all sides, several high-ranking generals had no choice but to come and "visit" Phaeth.
Xu Cenfeng was inexplicably worried: "What should I do?"
But Faeus was not in a hurry at all. He threw back the quilt and stood up from the bed. He quickly put on his military pants and shirt, buttoned them up tightly, and said coldly, "If they really feel sorry for that piece of shit, I don't mind letting them accompany Hill."
As soon as Xu Cenfeng heard it, he knew that Faeus was bragging. It would be fine if it was other generals, but would he dare to shoot at Admiral Weather? After all, the other party was his uncle in name only.
Xu Cenfeng could only say: "Be careful and try not to quarrel."
Phaeth didn't like quarrels, and when there was a disagreement he usually preferred to just shoot.
Admiral Weather and several other generals waited at the door for about ten minutes before they heard the door lock being opened remotely. They pushed the door open and walked into the living room, only to see Phaeth walking down the stairs leisurely, exuding a sense of contentment and laziness.
Admiral Weather frowned and said, "Chief, we came here today to discuss something with you."
Phaeth walked down the stairs and motioned for them to sit on the sofa. He then sat down in the main seat in the middle, crossed his legs, and lit a cigarette nonchalantly: "Whatever you want, just say it."
When he lit the fire, a strand of red hair quietly fell, and two clusters of flames appeared out of thin air in his dark green eyes, which were so sharp and cold that people dared not look directly at them.
The other generals were surprised to see this, but since they came together, they were braver than other insects. One of the generals boldly said, "Chief, now there is a rumor in Horsburg that you shot Lord Hill and crippled him. I wonder if it is true?"
Hearing this, Faus narrowed his eyes and looked at the general, slowly exhaled a puff of smoke, and said sarcastically: "Admiral Lamin, if you want to know the truth so much, shouldn't you go to the hospital to visit the honorable Mr. Hill today? Why are you setting foot here?"
Admiral Lamin choked when he heard this, his face turned pale and blue, and his voice was full of anger: "Chief, now all the residents in Horsburg know about this, and people are complaining! Lord Hill is the male insect with the purest blood in our north. Even if he has violated the most serious law, you should send him to Blackstone Prison according to the rules, instead of shooting... shooting his lower body!"
Phaeth flicked the ash off his cigarette, not taking it seriously. His stern face was blurred in the smoke. “I said, he will never have insect eggs again in his life. If you want to send him to Blackstone Prison now, I don’t mind.”
He spread his hands to show his helplessness. "But a male insect that can't be marked for sex, I'm worried that even if I send it to Blackstone Prison, no female insect will want it. It's just a waste of food, it's useless."
Admiral Weather was a serious person. He was troubled by Phaeth's reckless behavior. Deep furrows appeared between his brows. "Chief, in recent years, the fertility rate of male insects has been declining sharply in both the west and the north. At least a quarter of female insects in the north cannot find a suitable partner. Hill's blood is too pure. Many female insects are chasing him. Now there is a lot of discussion outside. Some female insects have raised banners to protest outside the military headquarters."
Upon hearing this, Phaeth's eyes suddenly turned sinister, and he coldly spat out four words: "A bunch of idiots!"
Hill can beat Hate into a miscarriage today, and he can beat another female insect into a miscarriage tomorrow. Phaeth feels that any female insect who dares to protest for Hill at this time must have a brain full of insect shit!
Phaeth said in a deep voice: "Whoever dares to stand up for Hill will be exiled to the Laguna Sea, and the sea water there will help cleanse their brains!"
Admiral Weather didn't like Hill either, but the fact was that Phaeth's actions were too reckless. If it were a male insect with low blood purity, there would not be such a big reaction: "Chief, the law cannot punish the masses. There are too many female insects protesting outside. We can't suppress them at all. If there is no other way, we can only issue a public letter of apology."
Xu Cenfeng had been observing the movements downstairs from upstairs. When he heard this, he knew something was wrong, and his heart skipped a beat. Faus had never bowed his head to apologize to anyone in his previous life or even in this life, let alone the one he apologized to was Hill. This action was tantamount to shitting on his head.
Maybe shitting on his head is better than asking him to apologize.
If you shit on Phaeus's head, he will beat you half to death, but if you ask Phaeus to apologize to a male insect like Hill, he will be worse off than dead.
"boom!"
Suddenly, there was a burst of gunfire downstairs. Faus was really touched by this sentence. He pulled out the gun from his waist expressionlessly and smashed the vase on the coffee table with a bang. His narrow eyes narrowed dangerously and he said coldly to Admiral Weather: "Whoever wants to accept my apology, let him come here and eat the bullet. I don't mind apologizing, but I'm afraid they don't have such a big appetite!"
Admiral Weather stood up angrily: "Phaeus! You are getting more and more presumptuous! How can you still act like a leader?! Hill is the male insect with the purest blood in the north. Those female insects in the slums who can't find a mate mark in their entire lives are already crazy about male insects. How can they not be angry if you shoot Hill to death now?!"
At that time, Hawke just came out of the hospital in a hurry. He rushed all the way to the residential area of Faeus with Xu Cenfeng's blood test report. Unexpectedly, he heard a burst of gunfire as soon as he entered the door. He was immediately shocked: "?!!!"
What happened?!!!
