Major General, a Male Zerg has been found on the battlefield!!

“I think these incidents weren’t directly ordered by you, so who exactly has repeatedly tried to put me in a deadly situation?” He Qin found a comfortable position, exuding confidence in controlling the overall situation.

At this stage, it was clear that Qi Lun had already chosen his side.

Once again, the usefulness of his royal bloodline was evident.

“No wonder you’re His Highness’s descendant. Your straightforward character really inherited from your male zerg father.” Qi Lun’s lips twisted into an ugly smile, but he hesitated to answer He Qin’s questions.

“I don’t need to say who my character resembles. Mr. Qi Lun, is there any point in continuing to beat around the bush?” He Qin frowned, waving his hands in the air a few times, his impatience evident.

Qi Lun stiffened his lips, unconsciously tugging at his sleeve, his eyes and heart in turmoil.

He still feared the power of the person behind him.

Although that person’s zerg lineage didn’t match the prestige of the current Highness before him, growing up in the Empire undoubtedly gave them more power than he could imagine.

If he spoke out, he would inevitably offend the person behind him.

Could the male zerg before him guarantee his safety?

“Mr. Qi Lun, it seems you’re not inclined to talk today. Forget it, I’ll head back early and inform the Chief to deal with a certain guilty male zerg!” He Qin lifted his coat in hand, turning half his body towards Qi Lun.

He Qin’s dark eyes pierced into Qi Lun’s heart, shaking him to his core. He Qin added, “It’s troublesome. This annoying matter should be resolved sooner rather than later.”

Qi Lun believed that the royal bloodline stranded outside, whatever intentions they had for him, the Chief would eagerly resolve any difficulties to please them.

His life was in the hands of the male zerg. If the male zerg moved his mouth, he would be doomed.

“Rhys, Rhys, my child, help your male father plead. Doesn’t His Highness He Qin favor you greatly? Quickly, help your male father beg for mercy!” Qi Lun hysterically shouted at Rhys, who quietly followed behind the male zerg.

“Since the moment I entered into a marriage contract with the male master, I’ve had no ties with the Qi family. Besides, the male master’s intentions are what I support.” Rhys didn’t even glance at the disheveled Qi Lun.

As he said, Qi Lun held no special status in his heart due to their blood relationship. Qi Lun was just a suspect in the male lord’s attempted murder.

“We won’t disturb you further, Mr. Qi Lun. Let’s go.” He Qin gestured with one hand behind his back, curling his finger, signaling for Rhys to lead the way.

Was the male lord afraid that Qi Lun’s words would provoke him? He was trying to reassure him!

Rhys’s intentionally cold expression instantly softened. He extended his hand to the male zerg, gently squeezing back.

“Don’t… don’t leave.” Qi Lun was very anxious, his legs weak as he staggered, trying to rush out. “Your Excellency He Qin, don’t go, I will speak this time.”

As soon as the title “Your Excellency” came out, He Qin knew that Qi Lun had truly accepted his fate.

He smirked, the smile disappearing from his face as he turned around, assuming the demeanor of a stern leader. “Speak, don’t waste time.”

“Firstly, I must admit that what happened on Earth was originally intended to cause trouble for you and Rhys, but I absolutely did not order any assassination.”

Hmm, serious expression, steady heartbeat, he didn’t seem to be lying.

The use of spiritual power allowed He Qin to accurately sense the other’s heart rate even from a distance.

“Go on.” It seemed the story would be lengthy, so He Qin sat back down.

Qi Lun continued, “I just wanted to make trouble for your Earth journey, but before I could act, someone used my information to falsely accuse me of hiring space pirates to assassinate you. Later, he found me and repeatedly threatened me. The situation was complicated, and I had no choice but to compromise…”

“Who is the mastermind? Why does he want to put me in such a dire situation?”

He Qin couldn’t think of anyone in the zerg race he had offended besides Qi Lun.

“That person is also of royal descent, he is…”

Just as he was about to continue, He Qin heard hurried footsteps approaching, “Boom, boom, boom,” the sound of someone knocking on the door without any regard.

He exchanged a glance with the male zerg, Rhys, adopting a defensive posture as he opened the door.

To their surprise, it was Woody Hill, the male zerg representative revered by the Imperial zerg race. However, he looked far from his usual composed self.

Woody’s hair was disheveled, sweat covered his forehead, and he was panting heavily. It was clear he had come running with urgent news.

“Gre…Green, you need to come back quickly. Uncle Lin is fading fast, and his dying wish is to see you one last time.”

He Qin’s heart skipped a beat. “Wasn’t he fine when we last saw him? How could this happen so suddenly?”

Uncle Lin left an impression of a mischievous old man, much like those on Earth.

He Qin remembered seeing him vibrant and lively just a few days ago. How could this happen so soon?

No, Uncle Lin was the closest to both male and female fathers. He had to go and see the old man one last time.

“Assign two soldiers to guard Qi Lun closely. If anything happens to him, you’ll be held responsible.”

“Yes, Major General.”

With the sudden turn of events, He Qin and the others hurriedly arrived at the royal territory.

In the zerg race, gold symbolized nobility. Royal rooms were mostly adorned with golden furnishings, followed by silver representing the royal family. Most common zerg rooms were decorated in shades of blue and green.

As the steward, however, Lin, a female zerg, had a room shimmering with golden hues.

He Qin didn’t notice these details as he focused solely on the frail figure lying in bed.

“Uncle Lin, the little Green you’ve been wanting to see is here.” Woody whispered softly, leaning close to the old man’s ear.

“Uncle Lin, I’m here.” He Qin squatted beside the old man.

“Your Highness Green, it really is Your Highness Green! I finally get to see you again.” The old man’s half-closed eyes suddenly widened, using all his strength to grasp He Qin’s hands.

He hadn’t been mistaken; this child truly resembled His Highness Allen from a hundred years ago, when His Highness was full of vigor and spirit.

It was uncanny; how could he not have recognized the resemblance sooner?

“Cough… now that you’ve returned to the zerg race, I can depart in peace.” The old man coughed laboriously, his gaze towards He Qin filled with undeniable affection.

“I’ve heard you’ve already fathered a male zerg offspring, which is wonderful. The royal bloodline of His Highness Allen continues through him.”

“He’s named Milo Hill, representing kindness and bravery. Rest assured, the child is very lively and healthy. I regret not bringing him here for you to see, as I entrusted him to be cared for by others, including Jack.”

“It’s alright. Knowing this good news before my passing satisfies me.”

With his powerful spiritual abilities, He Qin could feel the life force gradually fading from the old man’s body, like a towering tree losing its final nutrients, inevitably withering away under nature’s laws.

“Your Highness Green, all the items in this room belonged to your male and female fathers. Now, they rightfully belong to you.”

It seemed that after the male and female fathers had departed, the old man had moved their belongings into his own room, keeping them close.

This explained why a female zerg steward’s room was adorned with so much noble gold.

“Also, besides these belongings, all of His Highness Allen’s personal assets are detailed in this document.” The old man retrieved a golden spatial ring from under his pillow and handed it to He Qin. “Now I pass it on to you. You are the rightful inheritor of His Highness Allen’s wealth and influence.”

Sensing a sudden hostility behind him, He Qin cautiously looked back, only to see Rhys and a sorrowful Woody.

Could this emanate from a particular servant?

He Qin began to suspect, just as the old man’s voice echoed again, “Your Highness Green, be wary of Woody Hill. He is a male zerg skilled in disguise. I have detailed the investigation on him in the documents.”

The voice came through, yet the old man’s mouth didn’t move at all.

Was this… the power of spiritual ability?

Uncle Lin was also a master of spiritual abilities.

“Uncle Lin, I understand. I’ll be cautious of him.” He Qin merely held the old man’s hands, appearing immersed in grief.

Woody Hill’s low-level spiritual abilities couldn’t achieve secret communication.

“Major General Rhys, I entrust Your Highness Green to your care.”

“Of course, it’s my duty.” Rhys’ tone was heavy and serious; he was extremely earnest.

In Uncle Lin’s heart, the sudden changes involving the Allen couple and young Green had always been a decades-old unresolved knot. Now that Green had returned to the royal family and Uncle Lin had explained everything to His Highness Green before his passing, all his wishes were fulfilled.

Losing the last support of his belief, the light of life faded even faster. “Your Highness Allen, I will continue to serve you.”

The old man’s hands fell weakly to the edge of the bed. Slowly closing his eyes, his breathing gradually calmed.

A few minutes later, the old man’s body, like a fish or shrimp drained of water, gradually dried up and was crushed into fragments by the pressure of the air.

Soon, there was only gray-black powder on the bed.

This was what the zerg race looked like after death. They didn’t preserve intact bodies; when zerg races lost their core energy, they turned into gray-black powder as if they had never been in this world.

Look, whether male or female, human or zerg, natural laws treat all life equally.

“Uncle Lin, rest assured, I will take care of myself.” He Qin stood straight, bowed his head in the mourning etiquette of humans, silently mourning for this loyal old man.

After instructing the servants to clean up Uncle Lin’s ‘body,’ Woody Hill came to He Qin’s side and advised, “Green, don’t be sad. Uncle Lin left without regrets.”

“Uncle Lin must be very happy to see you. He can now bring this good news to His Highness Allen when he sees him.”

To the servants, this scene resembled an older brother, very responsible, consoling a younger brother who had experienced hardships.

He Qin didn’t speak for a long time, which made Woody awkward as he continued talking to himself.

He thought the young male zerg was overwhelmed with grief and temporarily unable to snap out of it.

Woody directed the obstructive servants out of the room and prepared to leave himself.

“Woody, wait a moment. I have some questions for you.”

He stopped in his tracks. “Uh, Green, do you not know where the room is? I can show you.”

“No, what I want to ask is whether you are the mastermind behind finding interstellar pirates to assassinate me, placing spies on the return starship, sending someone to assassinate the pirate leader, and attempting to harm my male zerg cub!”

His words were strong and decisive, not questioning but stating.

“What… what are you talking about? I don’t understand…”
