Chapter 114 I respect his choice
Unable to out-argue Marshal Anaos, Laureen turned his attention to Mikel. He said with a playful tone, "Admiral Mikel, as far as I know, Lord Cheng Chu forgot the Zerg language and writing due to his head injury. You probably haven't told him about your female father; he probably doesn't know yet, right?"
"Do you think if he found out now, he'd immediately want a divorce and want to get as far away from you as possible?"
Laureen was chipping away at Mikel's defenses little by little, wanting to make him suffer and see him in such a miserable state.
He just wanted revenge!
When Mikel's deepest fears were touched upon, a fleeting look of panic crossed her face, but she quickly regained her composure.
His fingers were clenched so tightly under the conference table that they turned white, but he said calmly, "The vice president can give it a try. If the master really wants to separate from me... I will respect his choice."
Despite how casually Mikel spoke, he was reluctant to utter the word "divorce," only saying "separation."
Marshal Anaos looked at Mikel's profile in surprise. He never expected that Mikel hadn't confessed to Lord Cheng Chu for so long.
He hadn't seen any movement from Mikel these past few days and assumed that His Excellency Cheng Chu had accepted it.
Given the presence of insect eggs, Mikel's reluctance to speak up for so long suggests that he may not actually be confident.
Laurence was disheartened that he didn't witness the expected outburst of Mikel's anger. He leaned forward, bracing himself on the table, and deliberately said, "Isn't it obvious? If Lord Cheng Chu knew that you witnessed your female father go mad and dismember your male father, and that you inherited your female father's madness genes, he would definitely be terrified of you..."
"Laurence! Shut up!"
President Kasri and Marshal Anaos both rebuked him.
That's incredibly malicious; Laureen is practically rubbing salt into Mikel's wounds.
Mikel's anger surged in his chest, his clenched fists trembled slightly, and his cold gaze pierced Laureen.
Laureen raised her hands, ignoring Mikel's murderous gaze, and said with a smile, "Alright, alright, I won't say anything more."
He was tired after talking for so long, so he picked up the water glass in front of him and drank it all in one gulp.
Without Laureen's incessant chatter, Kasili had to deliver the message himself: "General Mikel, we will be visiting Lord Cheng Chu in Jiuxingye this afternoon. The message from above is that they hope you will not return to the Jiuxingye villa recently, nor approach Lord Cheng Chu, nor contact him."
The leaders above have a good idea. Male insects are fickle; as long as they separate Lord Chengchu and Mikel for a while, and send a few excellent female insects to Lord Chengchu, he will eventually forget about Mikel.
S-class male insects are never short of excellent female insects, and Lord Cheng Chu's female ruler could never be a female insect like Mikel.
Upon hearing this, Mikel's pupils dilated, and he abruptly looked up at Chairman Kasiri.
It was as if they couldn't believe they would be so ruthless.
He opened his mouth in disbelief, but in the end, he couldn't say anything.
Marshal Anaos glared angrily, then stood up abruptly and roared, "Shameless! You have no shame whatsoever!"
That's their real purpose for coming today. They've already made their decision, yet they're pretending to be here to do ideological work.
With just a few casual words, they wanted to make Mikel unable to return home, to make Mikel give up his legitimate status as a female ruler, and to make Mikel unable to even contact his male ruler.
This kind of banditry is no different from that of space pirates!
Finally, Marshal Anaos almost got into a conflict with the president and vice president of the Male Insect Protection Association, as well as the working insects outside the door.
Elijah and the marshal's adjutant rushed in upon hearing the commotion. Although they did not understand what had happened, they stood firmly in front of Marshal Anaos and Mikel.
Laureen took a punch from Marshal Anaos and yelled that she would report it to Chairman Hugh Tilai of the Male Insect Protection Committee and make Marshal Anaos regret it!
No matter how much Kasili tried to persuade her, it was no use.
In order to avoid implicating Marshal Anaos and the Legion in his own affairs, Mikel deleted Cheng Chu's communications in front of them, thus fulfilling their wishes.
Before leaving, Laureen covered her swollen eyes and didn't forget to give Mikel a harsh warning: "Mikel, we'll send bugs to keep an eye on you. Once you leave the military headquarters, don't even think about seeing Lord Cheng Chu again. As for Lord Cheng Chu, he doesn't need another female bug like you."
At the Nine Stars Villa, a long time had passed since the agreed time with Mikel, and Cheng Chu still hadn't received any communication from Mikel.
At first, he thought it was because Mikel had just returned to work and was too busy. He figured Mikel would probably be done soon, but more than ten minutes passed and the personal terminal remained silent.
Cheng Chu sent Mikel a message without disturbing him. But ten minutes passed and Mikel still didn't reply.
Half an hour passed, and Cheng Chu couldn't wait any longer. He took the initiative to make a call to Mikel.
Still no answer.
Mechanical voice: [The call you dialed is busy, please try again later.]
"0123, come here quickly."
Cheng Chu called 0123 over.
0123 was patrolling the kitchen when he sensed Cheng Chu's call and rushed to the hall where Cheng Chu was.
A clear, mechanical voice from 0123 said, "Your Majesty, you called 0123. Is there anything you need?"
Cheng Chu shoved the light screen in front of 0123's screen, his voice urgent, "0123, take a look! Why isn't the female lord answering my calls or replying to my messages? Is the computer broken?"
0123 took the initiative to calm him down: "Your Excellency, please don't worry, let 0123 take a look."
Cheng Chu handed over the personal computer: "Okay, here you go."
0123 took the screen, operated it a few times, and finally checked and found that the computer was working fine and no faults were found.
0123: "Your Majesty, your personal computer is intact and no abnormalities have been detected."
Cheng Chu asked, "Then why is it always this same sentence?"
As he spoke, he made another call.
The automated voice sounded again: [The person you are trying to reach is busy. Please try again later.]
0123 carefully analyzed the reason for Cheng Chu: "Your Excellency, if you see this message when making a call, one possibility is that the other party has deleted and blocked your contact number."
Cheng Chu rejected this possibility: "Impossible!"
How could his wife possibly delete or block him?
Absolutely impossible!
0123 continued to analyze the second possibility: "There is another possibility: since your computer is not malfunctioning, then it is the general's computer that is malfunctioning."
