Quick Wear: The Heirless Boss Wants to Get Close to Her Every Day

Chapter 360 Starting Match with an Imperial General (39)

The Minister of Finance quickly retorted, "You saw that large number of mechs that suddenly appeared in the Kru Star Sector, Lancaster definitely has a way to protect Tuya!"

"Now, the most important thing is to protect His Majesty the Emperor, because the Zerg are definitely coming for His Majesty."

"If His Majesty successfully transfers out, the Zerg will definitely come to pursue him if they find out. This will draw away a large number of Zerg fighters, buying more time for Tuyadi Star."

Edmund's forehead was sweating. He shuddered involuntarily at the thought of the Zerg slaughtering humans. He steadied himself and said, "That's right, you will all move with me immediately."

The Ministry of National Defense was stunned. The emperor had deserted in the face of battle—should they stay or leave? What would happen to their families if they left?
How could Shen Shuyi let Edmund leave so easily? "66, help me hack into Edmund's spaceship system. I want to broadcast 'The Runaway Emperor' live to everyone on the entire StarNet."

There's no such thing as a free lunch. After they drive the Zerg away, the emperor quietly returns to enjoy the fruits of victory.

Such a person, unworthy of his position, deserves to be infamous for eternity!

Upon receiving news of the emperor's escape and the instability of the Tuya Empire's defenses, Xavier decisively led his army to fight back.

He held Shen Shuyi's hand and said, "You are pregnant and it is not advisable for you to go to the battlefield. Shuyi, trust me, I will defeat the Zerg army and bring you home safely."

“Okay.” Shen Shuyi readily agreed. Just as Xavier gave her a deep hug and turned to leave, she went to the logistics command center.

When the video of the Emperor's escape was broadcast live on the StarNet, the network almost crashed. Everyone was fighting the Zerg, but the Emperor had run away.

The Zerg army completely broke through the defenses of Tuyadi and invaded. Not only did students from the Imperial Military Academy don armor and go into battle, but ordinary people also took up arms to defend their homeland.

Shen Shuyi boarded a spaceship and was the first to enter the Imperial Star, where she met up with Professor Gavin. The people at the Central Research Institute immediately began distributing the drug that stimulates gene evolution. Anyone could receive it, with the only condition being that after becoming an evolved being, they would protect their families when the Zerg attacked.

The Zerg were cruelly devouring human lives when, just then, a neat formation of fighter jets flew over the Imperial Star. It was Admiral Lancaster who had returned!

The trained mech warriors launched a swift counterattack against the Zerg. Shen Shuyi, based in the rear, connected the quantum computer to allow ordinary people to enter the shelter, while medical personnel set up camp to treat the wounded.

The people of Tuyadi saw that reinforcements had arrived and saw hope; their hearts, which had been hanging in suspense, finally felt a little relieved.

Whether they were ordinary people in the shelter or evolved humans fighting alongside mech warriors on the battlefield, they all witnessed Admiral Lancaster leading his army to annihilate the Zerg.

Edmund, who had already escaped to the galaxy and made a spatial jump, felt a strong sense of unease. He quickly reassured himself that this time he had left in secret, without even taking Hathaway with him, and the other ministers had not brought their families either, so there was no possibility of the news leaking out.
After successfully leaping, he opened his eyes, which had been closed for rest, and said to the person next to him, "Let's see what the situation is like on the Imperial Star now."

There was no signal during the jump, but now that information has been restored, he can't wait to know the situation on Tuyadi.

The minister, who was checking the message, stumbled and fell to the ground, his face filled with terror.

Edmund asked impatiently, "What is it?"

"Your Majesty, Lancaster's army has returned to reinforce and has already defeated the Zerg."

"This is a good thing," Edmund murmured. Lancaster was indeed formidable; it was time to reclaim his military power upon returning. Without his former glory, he wondered if Shen Shuyi would still like Lancaster!
Unexpectedly, someone nearby interrupted his fantasy.

"Your Majesty, something terrible has happened! News of our relocation from Tuya has leaked!"

"What!" Edmund exclaimed in shock. "Quickly! Return to port immediately!"

He has to go back and take charge!

When Shen Shuyi learned from 66 that Edmund had returned, she and Lancaster were receiving cheers from the entire nation of Tuyadi. If it weren't for her research and invention of the drug that stimulated human genetic evolution and the latest mechs that could be easily controlled by civilians, they would have been unable to protect their families and their homeland.

Lancaster's legion, having absorbed the Imperial Star Ministry of Defense's garrison and civilian fighters, grew increasingly powerful.

Before Edmund even appeared on Tuya, his video call reached Xavier's communicator. At that time, Xavier was taking Shen Shuyi to the Empire's most advanced medical facility for a checkup on the fetus.

The doctor, both methodical and excited, completed all the tests for Shen Shuyi. This fetus would inherit the genes of the SSS Sentinels, as well as the General's wife's exceptional and intelligent research talent. Thinking of this, the doctor became even more excited.

"Congratulations to you both, the fetus is developing very healthily."

The doctor put away the embryo testing equipment and then explained some precautions for maintaining a healthy pregnancy.

Xavier listened attentively and then asked about caring for the pregnant woman.

The doctor looked at Admiral Lancaster's cold face as he asked these questions, and was greatly surprised by the contrast. As he talked, he mentioned the later stages of pregnancy, "There may be some swelling in the legs in the later stages, so you can massage the pregnant woman appropriately."

“Hmm.” Xavier’s expression was tense.

Shen Shuyi sensed his nervousness and tried to ease it by smiling and saying, "General, take a picture of the baby."

Upon hearing this, Xavier quickly activated the microcomputer and took a picture of the embryo on the medical instrument that had just been used for testing. It was just a small lump, but Xavier looked at it carefully and cherished it greatly.

The doctor gave his final instructions, "General, if your wife has no other discomfort, she can come for a check-up once a month."

“Okay.” Xavier took Shen Shuyi’s hand and led her back to the manor.

Shen Shuyi's pregnancy has not been announced to the public yet. Xavier will be very busy for a while, so she will stay at the manor to help him build momentum.

Upon arriving at the manor, Xavier carried her to the bed, sat her up, tucked a pillow behind her back, then lowered his head and gently embraced her waist, pressing his head against her lower abdomen.

Shen Shuyi ran her hand through his hair and said with a smile, "You're not showing yet. The little one might not feel any movement until five or six months later."

Just then, Xavier's communicator rang.

He didn't rush to answer, but looked up at Shen Shuyi and said, "It's Edmund."

"He's already run away, why would he still be looking for you?"

"You want to know?"

"Of course, out of curiosity."

Xavier then sat up straight and connected to the video call. He saw the hatch behind Edmund; the Emperor was still inside the spaceship.

"Why did it take you so long to answer?" Edmund was very dissatisfied with his slowness.

Xavier's reply was perfunctory: "Does Your Majesty have something to say?"

Edmund suppressed his anger and said, "Transfer command of the army to me."

Xavier turned off the video call, leaving only the voice call, and then hugged Shen Shuyi in his arms. "I'm sorry, I can't do this."

"Lancaster! You dare disobey my orders?" Edmund was enraged.

Xavier held Shen Shuyi's fingers and chuckled, "From the moment you abandoned the people and left Tuya, you had no right to command me."

After saying this, Xavier hung up the call; his most important task now was to get his wife to take a nap.
