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

Shi Yu stood frozen in place, his tall body stiff.

Meeting Raphael's resistant gaze, he awkwardly hid his hands behind his back, as if that would cover up his earlier rudeness.

His lips moved, and he stammered an explanation.

"Um... I was in a hurry just now and didn't control myself... I promise you, it will never happen again. I'm really sorry."

A familiar tone rang in his ears, and Raphael glanced at Shi Yu.

His eyes brightened slightly, as if he had been touched.

But upon hearing the other person's words, the light that had just ignited in his eyes vanished instantly, as if blown away by a cold wind.

His expression returned to calm, and he said in a low voice, "Come with me."

"To make a long story short, Cullen and his men helped me escape from the manor, but then they caught me and locked me in the dungeon."

In the dungeon, I recognized Chris, and then we worked together to figure out how to escape.

But during our escape, we got separated... Finally, I found this place and met you.

After quickly recounting what had happened, Shi Yu paused in his voice.

"What did you just say?"

Raphael listened quietly without interrupting.

Hearing Shi Yu's question, he felt a heart-wrenching pain.

Because they don't care, they automatically ignore what the other person says.

Since we met, I haven't heard a single word of concern from you.

Raphael had never been so clear-headed.

He spoke slowly and deliberately.

"Shi Yuxiongzi, I don't want to like you anymore."

"Yes, I wish you a bright future."

Shi Yu's mind couldn't keep up with his mouth.

I bit my tongue; at this moment, it seemed like anything I said would be wrong.

He followed Raphael with some trepidation, secretly pondering his attitude.

After reaching a relatively quiet place, Raphael stopped.

He slowly turned around and looked at the male insect in front of him expressionlessly.

"We'll split up to look for Chris and the others, and whether we find them or not, we'll all meet here at midnight."

His voice was cold and devoid of any emotion.

Shi Yu nodded and replied, "Okay, I'll go find it right away."

After saying that, he looked around and prepared to leave.

Raphael suddenly called out to him.

Shi Yu's heart tightened, and he subconsciously took half a step back.

His expression changed slightly, and he felt somewhat uneasy about Raphael's actions.

"Is there anything else?"

Shi Yu's voice was slightly stiff, and he tried his best to appear calm.

Raphael pretended not to notice his unusual behavior.

With a blank expression, he took a bottle of fever reducer from the medicine box and handed it over.

"Here's some fever reducer. Take it. Chris is wonderful, and he loves you very much."

Raphael's tone remained indifferent, as if he were merely stating a fact.

Shi Yu was stunned.

Clearly, no one expected Raphael to give them fever reducers, let alone what he would say next.

Seeing that the other party had truly put it down, he smiled broadly, reached out and took the medicine bottle, and quickly put it into his pocket.

After putting the medicine bottle away, Shi Yu didn't immediately take it out. Instead, he rummaged in his pocket to make sure the medicine bottle was really inside.

After parting ways with Raphael, he wandered around the manor.

They searched everywhere for Chris and the others, but after searching extensively, they found no trace of them.

He couldn't help but feel a growing anxiety.

The sun gradually set in the west.

All the male insects that tried to escape were captured by the machine insects.

Patin was furious when he learned of this.

He flew into a rage in the living room, hurling insults at the robotic insects responsible for guarding the dungeon.

"You bunch of useless trash, what exactly happened? How did they escape?"

His roar echoed in the living room, his face filled with anger and disappointment.

The robotic insects stood in a row, not daring to utter a sound, silently enduring Padding's reprimand.

Unable to extract any useful information, Patin's expression grew increasingly grim, his eyes seemingly spitting fire.

He yelled at the robotic insect beside him, "Pull up the video of today's food delivery!"

The robot insect quickly replied, "Yes, Lord Patin."

Before the words were finished, a transparent screen appeared in the air, clearly displaying the scene inside the dungeon.

As seen in the video, the robotic insects, as usual, distributed food to the imprisoned male insects and then left.

Patin stared intently at the screen, the more he looked, the more uneasy he felt.

His brow furrowed deeper and deeper. "And what's with the food cart in the dungeon?"

"After all, the machine bugs cannot completely replace the Zerg. It is normal for them to make some mistakes in their work from time to time."

Robin's tone was indifferent.

His facial features were obscured by the smoke, appearing and disappearing intermittently, making it difficult for the insect to discern his true expression.

He had a vague idea of ​​who was behind all of this.

That person is truly a master of disguise.

Things are getting more and more interesting.

Robin curled the corners of his mouth into a mocking smile.

His gaze fell on Patin.

He made no attempt to hide his sarcasm, saying, "When insects get old, they have to accept it. If you're really not up to it, why don't you go home and have some offspring?"

These words were extremely malicious, and even female soldiers would be furious upon hearing them.

However, Patin was not angered by Robin's words. His eyes remained calm and unwavering.

He raised the corners of his mouth slightly and retorted in the same indifferent tone.

"If you're in such a hurry to have offspring, I can pack up ten male insects for you and send them over. That way you can have more offspring and have insects to take care of you when you get old."

Robin's eyes were sinister, and his face was full of disgust.

"I wouldn't even look at those filthy bastards under your command; I find them disgusting!"

As he said this, that gentle and refined face involuntarily appeared in his mind.

That male insect that I utterly loathe.

Damn it, why am I thinking about that despicable male again?

Robin cursed inwardly.

He tried to banish that face from his mind, but the image lingered like a ghost.

"you……"

Patin's voice trembled slightly.

He was clearly angered by Robin's attitude, but he still managed to suppress his anger.

"I don't want to argue with you pointlessly. Lord Gaia's wedding is in three days, and there are still some details of the preparations that need to be discussed."

Robin ignored Patin's words.

He curled his lips into a disdainful smile and responded with a cold laugh.

"I'm only responsible for the safety of the guests; don't bother me with anything else."

After saying that, he stood up and twisted his neck.

He strode out of the living room without even turning his head back.

Patin was trembling with rage, his hands clenched so tightly that his knuckles creaked from the force.

He stared intently in the direction Robin had left, his anger growing ever stronger.

After a long while, Patin finally calmed down a bit.

He opened the communicator and tapped a few times randomly.

A fawning voice soon came from the other side.

"Lord Padding, hello! Is there anything I can help you with?"
