A top-tier gigolo, teased by a cool and aloof general, turns warm.

"What if I do it?"

Shi Yu was already used to their mocking expressions and was completely unaffected.

"My lord, I must tell you that fruit trees have now become rare plants in the interstellar space, and are on the verge of extinction."

Chris's eyes revealed a hint of worry, feeling that the male ruler's ideas were far too simplistic.

Fruit trees are different from vegetables; they need several years to bear fruit.

"When we're little, there's no rush to plant fruit trees; we can take our time."

Balu also expressed doubts about Shi Yu's decision.

They believed that the young insects were not mature and stable enough, and should not make such a decision so rashly.

He sighed softly. "Alright, I'm in a meeting right now. We can discuss anything after the meeting."

"Uncle, I really can grow it..."

Shi Yu hurriedly tried to say that he could grow fruit trees, but his next words were drowned out by laughter.

Shi Yu felt as if something was blocking his chest, making it impossible for him to breathe.

He stared intently at the dialog box on the light screen.

He gritted his teeth and said confidently, "I will definitely succeed. You'll all be proven wrong."

Chris shook his head helplessly at the male ruler's resolute expression.

Lowering her eyes, she softly advised, "My lord, why don't you try growing vegetables instead?"

"Yes, I can grow vegetables and fruit trees at the same time, so that the entire Zerg can have fresh fruits and vegetables to eat."

Shi Yu twitched the corner of his mouth; even Chris didn't trust him.

If he doesn't grow fruit trees, he'll have lived two lives in vain.

Just then, a crisp notification sound came from the communicator.

Someone requested to add me as a friend.

Shi Yu was puzzled, as only his acquaintance knew his communicator number.

With a touch of curiosity, he clicked "accept".

Almost instantly, a message came from the other side.

【Hello, Mr. Shi Yuxiong, I am Goss, the assistant to Minister Balu.】

Upon seeing this message, Shi Yu frowned. Could it be that there was already news of Raphael?

Before he could reply, Gauss sent his next message.

We have tracked Dr. Raphael's movements; he has been kidnapped by the rebels, and the Maw warship is approaching Amethyst.

"Grand Hotel"

"Grand Hotel"

Shi Yu and Chris spoke in unison.

Their eyes met, and they both saw surprise and worry in each other's eyes.

Shi Yu's fingers flew across the screen as he replied to Gauss's message.

Okay, I understand. Thank you for your hard work!

After sending the message, he closed the chat window, then stood up and neatly buttoned up his shirt.

He turned and said, "Just in case, let's go to the hotel and wait."

Chris met the lord's gaze and nodded in agreement.

"You don't need to do anything then, just leave it to me."

His tone carried a hint of pleading.

He did not want the lord and Raphael to have any interaction.

"Okay, I'll do whatever you say."

Shi Yu said gently.

In his heart, he only regarded Raphael as a younger brother.

It's pure brotherhood, with absolutely no other intentions.

Before leaving, Chris gave Hagrid some serious instructions.

"Guard the mine well, and absolutely do not let any insect have a chance to take advantage."

Hagrid straightened up and nodded solemnly.

"Lord Chris, rest assured! I will do everything in my power to protect the mine."

Chris continued, "Recently, interstellar raiding activities have been rampant, and Minister Baru has sent Assistant Gauss to take over the mine."

"Hold on for a few more days, and we'll be fine once Assistant Gauss arrives on Amethyst Star."

Hagrid patted his chest forcefully.

He assured him, "Lord Chris, I, Hagrid, am not the kind of person who would be afraid of death."

Anyone who dares to try and steal our amethyst mine will never leave alive.

Looking at Hagrid's upright expression, Shi Yu couldn't help but feel admiration.

He raised his hand, intending to pat Hagrid on the shoulder as a sign of encouragement.

Just as his hand was about to touch Hagrid's shoulder, he suddenly realized that the other person was a female soldier.

So he slowly lowered his hand.

He said to Hagrid in a sincere tone, "Money is just an external thing; your safety is the most important thing."

If you encounter danger, do not fight back. Preserving your life is the most important thing, then try to contact us.

A glimmer of light appeared in Hagrid's eyes.

The soldiers who were exiled to the desolate planet were all privates, and no officer ever took them, these insects, seriously.

Every time they went to the battlefield, they were inevitably assigned the most dangerous and arduous tasks.

Upon hearing Shi Yuxiong's words, Hagrid's eyes suddenly reddened.

"Please rest assured, Major General, we will defend the mine to the death."

Knowing that he had misunderstood him, Shi Yu did not intend to explain.

He summoned two soldiers to escort him and Chris to the Grand Hotel.

I could hear a sharp, piercing roar from a great distance.

"If we can't find the killer, you're all dead!"
