Good times always fly by, and there are only two days left until we meet the Insect Emperor.

The altercation that occurred at the military headquarters that day did not cause any stir on the StarNet because the two marshals were on high alert and no female soldier dared to disobey orders and upload the information to the StarNet without authorization.

On the StarNet, the majority of discussions revolved around the cause of Paters' death and speculations about his killer. A smaller number tried to bring up the topic of Cheng Chu and Mikel, but unfortunately, none of them succeeded.

After publicly apologizing to Mikel at the military base that day, Asvida felt ashamed and took the day off the next day.

When he returned on the third day, his face was very pale, and he had a faint smell of blood on his body.

The female soldiers who were close to him showed concern for him, but he brushed them off with unfriendly words.

Mikel didn't care about these reports. But his adjutant, Elijah, was a woman who loved to join in the fun.

Elijah was very keen on finding out gossip during his work breaks. It's a mystery how he managed to balance work and satisfy his curiosity at the same time.

"Knock knock!" A knock sounded on the office door.

Mikel didn't need to look to know it was Elijah again.

"Come in."

He looked up, leaned back in his chair, and took a sip from his cup.

"Tell me, what did you hear outside this time? What do you want to tell me?"

Mikel was right; Elijah had indeed found out more information, but it wasn't the kind of gossip he was thinking of.

Elijah said, somewhat agitated and angry, "General, the order has been given. Each legion is to compile a list of deserters and female soldiers who died on the battlefield and whose bodies have not been found, and submit them within the last ten years."

Elijah had been waiting outside during the last meeting organized by the X5 Legion, and he had heard about it.

He was filled with righteous indignation: "General, how did the X5 Legion manage to do that? Even though all the legion generals disagreed at the last meeting, they still managed to persuade the higher-ups and force us to hand over the list."

"That's normal." Mikel nodded knowingly, put down his water glass, and remained surprisingly calm, unlike Elijah who was agitated.

The fact that the murderer could not be found was causing anxiety not only for Marshal Ralph but also for those above him.

No matter what, we will never give up on this only clue.

He said in a flat tone, "Is there anything else? If not, you can leave."

When the topic turned to business, Elijah became serious and replied, "General, the Marshal wants you to go to his office before you leave work. He has something to say to you."

"Okay, I understand."

Marshal Anaos was deeply moved when he learned that the insect guarding the Holy Vine was a former subordinate of Ralph and had even received favors from Ralph.

He was thinking about how to get in touch with him through Ralph, but his relationship with Ralph had never been very good, so he couldn't just ask him for help directly.

Cheng Chu's conflict with Asvida at the military gate gave Marshal Anaos an opportunity.

He informed Mikel of the plan at the time, using this compensation in exchange for an opportunity for Lord Tong Chengchu to enter the Saint Xing Teng cultivation base.

It would be best to let Lord Cheng Chu meet with Saint Xing Teng in advance, and to test whether his special abilities have any effect on Saint Xing Teng, and how likely it is to work.

Once these issues are clarified, we can then decide whether to have Cheng Chu bring up the effect of his special ability on the Holy Vine when meeting the Insect Emperor.

This decision was risky, but it also provided a safeguard.

This was the best solution Mikel could come up with, and Marshal Anas had no choice but to find a way to satisfy him.

Meanwhile, Marshal Anaos has already reached an agreement with Marshal Ralph.

With his secrets in the enemy's hands, Marshal Ralph not only had to nod in humiliation and agree, but also had to keep it a secret as requested.

Looking at Anaos's smug, wrinkled old face, he wished he could punch him on the spot.

That way he'll never be able to laugh again.

Marshal Anas didn't have to wait long; Mikel soon knocked on his office door.

Only after receiving permission from inside did Mikel push open the door and go in.

"Marshal, you wanted to see me?" Mikel asked respectfully.

"Hmm." Marshal Anaos gestured for him to sit down and put away the documents in his hand. He said, "Mikel, you should know why I called you here."

Mikel closed the door and went inside, sitting down in a chair. He and Marshal Anaos sat facing each other, and he said succinctly, "You've spoken with Marshal Ralph, and he's agreed."

"Hey, how did you know that old man Ralph would agree?" Marshal Anas asked, puzzled.

Mikel said confidently, "With you, Marshal, in charge, Marshal Ralph cannot possibly disagree."

"That's right." Marshal Anaos said confidently, "That bastard Ralph can't argue with me, and besides, we still have leverage over him. He has no choice but to agree."

Mikel echoed him, "Yeah."

"The time is tonight." Marshal Anaos became serious and said, "Mikel, go back and explain things to your lord. Take him with you tonight; my adjutant will meet you. Ralph's old men will be waiting for you there on time; he will take you in to see Saint-Sympholm."

Mikel took it down carefully and said, "Okay, I understand, Marshal."

"And one more thing," Marshal Anaos continued, "Mikel, you only have ten minutes to go in. Move as fast as you can. After ten minutes, no matter what, you must come out immediately."

Marshal Anas looked at Mikel, his voice serious.

This matter absolutely cannot go wrong!

Mikel said, "I know."

Before leaving, Mikel stood up and gave Marshal Anaos a solemn military salute.

"Thank you, Marshal."

Marshal Anaos waved his hand, unusually joking with Mikel: "Mikel, this time you really need to make things clear with your lord. Don't drag it out like last time, or things will get messy."

Mikel's expression froze, and he said quickly, "Marshal, I'll be going now."

After saying that, without waiting for Marshal Anaos to say anything more, he turned around and strode out of the office.

"Oh, I still..." Marshal Anaos hadn't even finished speaking when the door was opened and then closed again.

Mikel also ran far away.

…………

It was another day he left work on time. Elijah felt that every day had been a good day since his general got married.

As Elijah watched Mikel walk back to the villa, he silently counted down in his mind.

Ten, nine, eight, ... three, two, one.

"Honey, you're back!"

As before, the male insects came out cheerfully, hugging them and saying things like how much they missed them, as if no one else was around.

Cheng Chu hugged Mikel's waist and buried her face in the crook of his neck: "I missed you so much, and I missed the baby too."

Haha, just as I expected, Elijah laughed heartily at his own keen observation.

I was even happier when I flew home from get off work in the aircraft.

Dragging the increasingly sticky male insect home, Mikel was unaware that his adjutant had become so bold as to start gossiping about him and the male insect.

As Mikel walked back, he said, "My lord, I have something to tell you."

Cheng Chu asked, "What's wrong?"

"Okay, let's go inside and talk about it." We're still outside; let's talk about it once we're inside.

"it is good."

Mikel led the male insect to the study on the second floor.

Cheng Chu sat in the study chair with Mikel in his arms, listening quietly as Mikel explained in detail his and Marshal Anaos's plans.

"Master, I didn't tell you before because this matter wasn't confirmed. I only just found out myself, and I told you as soon as I got back. Please don't be angry, okay?" Mikel remembered what the male insect had said—that he didn't want to be kept in the dark about everything…
