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

"Uncle, you've finally arrived! We almost..."

Shi Yu held Chris tightly.

His eyes welled up with tears, and he pleaded, "Is there a doctor here? Please save my wife."

Chris, who was in her arms, had already lost consciousness, and his lips were bloodless.

His handsome face was now unusually pale, as he had fainted due to excessive blood loss.

Balu stood to the side, looking extremely nervous.

He looked at his injured nephew, his heart filled with anxiety and worry.

He ordered in a deep voice, "Quickly, escort them to the hospital immediately. Their safety must be guaranteed."

The aircraft quickly started up, carrying Shi Yu and Chris away like a shooting star.

Balu stood there, watching the aircraft gradually disappear into the distance until it vanished from sight.

Only then did he feel a little more at ease.

He slowly turned around, looked at the four insects in front of him, and sighed softly.

His gaze fell on Raphael. "His Majesty the Insect Emperor is in critical condition. Would you be willing to stay in the palace to take care of him?"

"I don't want to."

Raphael's voice was cold and firm, without the slightest hesitation.

He took Rosso's hand, and their fingers intertwined tightly, each other being the other's whole world.

"I'm glad you don't regret it."

Balu shook his head slightly, a sense of helplessness and regret welling up in his heart.

He knew Raphael's loathing for the Insect Emperor and understood his decision.

Raphael continued, "Uncle Baru, Rosso and I will be getting married next month, and we hope you can officiate at our wedding."

Although his tone was calm, it contained an indescribable happiness and contentment.

"Alright, good children, you should go back now! I will come to officiate your wedding."

Balu smiled.

He looked at Raphael and his lord with kindness, his eyes revealing love and blessings for them.

"thank you!"

Raphael gave Balu a grateful look, then turned and left with the lord.

Balu gazed in the direction they had left, his heart filled with mixed emotions.

He had no son, but always treated Raphael as his own, educating and raising him as his own child.

In order to protect Raphael and prevent the Insect Emperor from developing any fear of him.

Baru specifically sent Raphael to study medicine, hoping he could stay away from the vortex of power struggles.

Now, seeing Raphael so outstanding, he feels incredibly gratified.

This child is not only intelligent and quick-witted, but also has an exceptional talent for medicine, and has lived up to his expectations.

After Raphael and his master left, Balu slowly withdrew his gaze and turned his attention to Robin.

"Seventh Prince, are you going to see His Majesty?"

"I want to go back to the western continent."

Robin raised his arrogant and haughty face, showing no attachment to the palace whatsoever.

His eyes were terrifyingly cold and deep, like the sea before a storm, with dark clouds churning.

Balu smiled dismissively. "His Majesty is ill. Without His Majesty's protection, the Western Continent will cease to exist."

"You dare, you insects of the western continent... were once subjects of the empire."

"Hehe, you said it yourself, 'in the past'."

Faced with Balu's provocation, Robin's patience ran out, and the muscles on her face twitched uncontrollably a few times.

He clenched his fist, then slowly relaxed it. "Take me to see him."

"Robin."

Gaia grabbed Robin's arm. "Don't go. Let them fight if they want to."

"Knowing that defeat is inevitable, there is no need to make a futile struggle."

Robin's handsome face was contorted with rage, and the veins on his forehead bulged.

His eyes were like poisoned knives, radiating a murderous intent capable of destroying the world.

The next second, he curled his lips into a sinister smile and raised his hand to knock Gaia unconscious.

Turning to Balu, he said calmly, "Over the years, I have been dispatched to the western continent to infiltrate Gaia's inner circle, and now I have finally completed my mission successfully."

"Seventh Prince, you have endured humiliation and hardship on the Western Continent; you have suffered greatly!"

Balu had a big smile on his face.

Having read countless insects, he was well aware of the Seventh Prince's eagerness to distance himself from the rebels.

After all, with the struggle for the crown prince so fierce, a slight misstep could lead to utter ruin.

The seventh prince is deeply favored by the Insect Emperor and is very likely to ascend the throne.

However, the second prince was also secretly working to win over councilors to support his succession to the throne.

The power struggle was too brutal, and Balu didn't want to get involved and get into trouble.

He said respectfully, "Your Highness, I will first go and report to Marshal Anderson that you have returned to the palace."

If you need anything, just tell these soldiers to do it.

"Wait a moment."

Robin suddenly called out to Pazu, her voice carrying an undeniable authority.

"I would like to visit my father, the Emperor, first."

Upon hearing this, Balu quickly replied, "Yes, Your Highness, I will make the arrangements immediately."

Robin then ordered, "Bring Gaia along too. Father will be very happy to hear that the rebel leader has been captured."

"Yes, Your Highness."

Baru smiled obsequiously and turned to relay the orders to the soldiers.

"His Majesty would be very happy to know that Your Highness has returned safely."

As Balu walked and talked, the smile on his face seemed somewhat unnatural, as if he was deliberately trying to please Robin.

He was walking ahead, so he didn't notice that Robin's face instantly turned extremely gloomy after hearing those words.

Outside the mortuary.

The soldiers guarded the area layer by layer, forming an impenetrable wall that completely surrounded it.

Any insect that tries to get close will be ruthlessly blocked, with absolutely no possibility of leniency.

When Pazu appeared, the situation changed.

The soldiers immediately made way for him when they saw him.

Robin watched this scene with a cold expression, his dissatisfaction growing stronger.

He strode up to Balu and said bluntly, "Minister Balu, I wish to be alone with my father. You need not come with me."

His tone was firm and uncompromising, leaving no room for negotiation.

Without even waiting for Balu's response, he snatched Gaia from the soldier's hands and strode toward the palace.

Upon entering the sanctuary, Robin found it empty, with no other insects in sight.

His gaze fell on the luxurious bed.

The Insect Emperor lay there quietly, his face sunken and lifeless, a far cry from the majestic Insect Emperor he remembered.

Robin's face was as black as ink as he stared at the Insect Emperor.

The humiliation of being forced into it in the past replayed in my mind frame by frame, and the hatred in my heart kept surging.

Despite the passage of many years, his hatred for the Insect Emperor has not diminished but has instead grown stronger.

He slowly approached the Insect Emperor, his cold gaze fixed on him, a sneer playing on his lips.

"Fista, you've finally met your match! Seeing you like this makes me incredibly happy."

Before he could finish speaking, Robin reached out and grabbed the Insect Emperor's neck tightly with both hands.

The fingers slowly tightened, as if trying to force the life of the Insect Emperor out of his body.

"Farewell, you old and ugly demon."
