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

It's breakfast time.

The worms, starving, looked expectantly at the food in the iron bucket, only to find that it contained nothing but white rice porridge.

This is clearly far from enough for insects that require a lot of physical labor.

They dared not speak out against their anger; in this mine, they were at the very bottom, with no voice whatsoever.

After finishing breakfast, one of the sinners suddenly sat down on the ground. Seeing this, the other sinners followed suit and became passive-aggressive.

Hagrid was furious when he learned of this.

He stormed into the mine, whip in hand, and began to lash the striking scoundrels.

He yelled while whipping the cigarette, "You lazybones! We're already being generous with food, and you still dare not work!"

Hagrid's atrocities did not subdue the worms; instead, they fueled their even greater resentment.

"You only ate so little this morning, how can you have the energy to work?"

"It's all your fault for inadequate oversight; that's why the grain warehouse burned down."

"We want to eat meat! We want to eat meat..."

However, their resistance was met with even more brutal beatings, and cries of agony rose and fell.

"This awful weather, it's about to snow, the star beasts are all hibernating, you're dreaming..."

Hagrid's face was full of sarcasm.

After venting his anger, he walked out of the mine satisfied.

The moment he stepped out of the mine, videos of him torturing the insects were already circulating online.

The video quickly caused a huge uproar, simply because the mine was managed by Shi Yu, so he was also implicated and topped the trending search list.

Online comments are mixed, with some criticizing Shi Yu for being cold-blooded and ruthless, and for being too harsh on the criminals.

Some people supported his punishment of these criminals, believing that they deserved such treatment.

Meanwhile, Shi Yu, completely unaware that he had been "caught in the crossfire," was directing his soldiers to carry bags of grain downstairs.

Looking at the rice, he couldn't help but sigh, thinking that the soldiers would surely find it boring to eat this all they wanted.

So he turned to Rosso beside him and said, "Bring out more vegetables, I'll make a vegetable salad for everyone."

Without saying a word, Rosso took out all sorts of vegetables from his spatial storage, with potatoes piled up all over the hallway.

"Make more mashed potatoes, Raphael loves them."

As he spoke, he gently nudged his wife with his arm, as if seeking praise.

Raphael looked out the window, somewhat absentmindedly, and did not respond.

It would be a lie for Rosso to say he wasn't disappointed.

He also noticed a problem: ever since Raphael's strength improved, he was always getting distracted.

My body is beside him, but my heart has wandered far away.

He thought of a man who had confessed his love to Raphael many times and remained persistent.

Could it be because of him?

Rosso shook his head slightly, feeling a bittersweet ache in his heart. He took the initiative to move the vegetables, trying to numb himself with the labor.

When the cooks saw the vegetables in the corridor, their eyes widened in disbelief.

"Am I seeing things? How can there be so many vegetables? I haven't eaten vegetables in six months..."

"Major General, are these vegetables really meant for us to eat?"

Shi Yu smiled and nodded.

He casually lied, "The vegetables were brought over by Minister Baru at Goss's request; they're for everyone to eat."

As soon as he finished speaking, the soldiers erupted in cheers.

Shi Yu continued, "I'll cook lunch myself and show you my skills so you can taste my cooking."

Conditions at the mine were extremely harsh, and the weather had been exceptionally bad during this period.

Seeing the soldiers sticking to their posts without ever complaining, I couldn't help but feel a surge of compassion.

He decided to treat everyone to a good lunch, including not only vegetables but also meat.

So he said to Rosso, "Bring out some more meat; we'll have a big meal at noon."

After listening, Rosso took out dozens of hot pot base ingredients from his spatial storage.

His eyebrows and eyes were like crescent moons, exuding a captivating charm.

When he smiles, he's like a cunning male fox, making you want to take a second look.

"It's so cold, how about we have hot pot for lunch?" Rosso suggested. "It'll have both meat and vegetables, a balanced meal, and I guarantee everyone will enjoy it."

When Shi Yu heard the word "hot pot," his eyes lit up.

He licked his lips, responding somewhat impatiently.

"Alright then, it's been a long time since I've had hot pot, I really miss it."

In fact, Shi Yu had always envied Luo Suo's space.

That space seemed to have everything; whatever Rosso wanted, he could conjure it up instantly. It was even more magical than the legendary magic bag.

However, Shi Yu quickly came to terms with it.

He realized that Rosso's space was for Raphael's benefit, and Raphael was completely obedient to his brother.

So, if Raphael possesses space, doesn't that mean he also possesses space?

Thinking of this, Shi Yu felt exceptionally relaxed.

I've decided to surprise my wife with a delicious hot pot lunch today.

Meanwhile, Chris was also sitting in his office, interrogating Naga, the suspect.

"Tell me, why did you set fire to the granary?"

The voice was icy cold, as if it could pierce through the insect's soul.

Naga squatted on the ground, lost in thought, like a wilted flower, lifeless.

His eyes were dull and lifeless, as if he had lost all hope in the world.

Chris stared at Naga, a cold smile playing on his lips.

He knew Naga wouldn't speak easily, but he had enough patience to wait.

Time ticked by, but Naga remained silent.

Chris's patience was gradually wearing thin.

"Don't think we can't do anything to you just because you're not talking. The sudden appearance of a million star coins in your account is enough to convict you."

Upon hearing this, Naga's body trembled violently.

His eyes began to move, and the hatred in his eyes erupted like a volcano.

"On what grounds?"

Naga was filled with anger and resentment.

"You forbid your own male masters from taking female servants and slaves, yet you force fifty female servants upon my male master. I hate you so much! You all deserve to die! Ha ha ha..."

His laughter was sharp and piercing, filled with endless sorrow and despair.

"Boss Jin won't sell you any food; you'll just starve to death!"

The roar echoed in the room.

His chest heaved violently, as if he were about to vent all his resentment.

"If you hadn't plotted against Raphael first, he would never have made things difficult for you."

Chris sighed helplessly.

Although he felt some sympathy for the weak and pitiful insect, the law is the law, and no insect that violates it can be forgiven.

"If you are willing to testify and bring Eugene to justice, I can plead for leniency on your behalf, and perhaps the judge will give you a lighter sentence."

Chris tried to persuade him with kind words.

We hope the other party can recognize their mistake and bravely stand up to testify against the real culprit.

Naga's eyes were full of disdain and resentment, and he showed no interest in Chris's suggestion.

He didn't believe Chris would genuinely help him; he just thought he was extremely hypocritical.

"Stop pretending, no insect instructed me."
