D-level males reached the pinnacle of life by living off women.

Seeing that Lu Yuan's expression seemed somewhat heavy, Dean Pei Si offered words of comfort.

"Your Excellency, the situation is much better now than before. At least now the children can stay in the orphanage in peace until they reach adulthood. If it weren't for the foundation's donations, I'm afraid several children in my orphanage would have to go work for the Netherlands Company."

"The Netherlands Company? What kind of company is that? They even hire child laborers?" Lu Yuan asked.

Upon hearing the name Netherlands Company, Brown, who had been daydreaming, suddenly snapped out of his reverie and became serious.

Seeing that Lu Yuan seemed to have a strong opinion about the Netherlands Company recruiting children, Dean Pei explained.

"Sir, it is actually quite common for children from orphanages to go out to work. If the orphanage cannot provide enough food for the children, then it is a good thing for them to find a job to supplement their income."

"Besides, the female insect larvae aren't that delicate. The fact that the Netherlands Corporation is willing to take in the children actually gives the orphanage and the children a chance to survive, given that the orphanage is in a financially troubled situation."

"Dean Pei Si, are you very familiar with this Netherlands Company?" Brown suddenly asked.

Lu Yuan was somewhat surprised by Brown's sudden question, but he didn't say anything.

Dean Pei thought for a moment and then said.

"Actually, I wouldn't say I know them very well. I only talked to the company's employee once, and after deciding not to cooperate, I haven't been in contact with them since."

"However, some children from other orphanages on Camis still applied for jobs at this company, and their director also told me about this company."

"The Netherland Corporation's workers arrived on Planet Kami around the first half of the year, saying that their company had a mine on a very remote planet and wanted to recruit some miners there."

"The salary is quite high, but the selection criteria are also quite strict. Some directors of other orphanages have even come to check it out and said that the working environment there is not bad and the working hours are not long. To be honest, the conditions are much better than the mines on this planet Kami."

"The only downside is that the planet where I work is too remote. Once I go there, I can't come back in the middle, and I can't contact it via communicator."

"To be honest, when the job seekers from the Netherlands Company came over, quite a few of my kids were interested and wanted to apply. But I thought about it and couldn't bear to let them go to work so far away before they were even adults, so I persuaded them all to give up."

After chatting with Dean Pei Si for a few more minutes, Lu Yuan took his leave with Brown.

On the way back to the hotel, Lu Yuan asked, "Brown, why did you suddenly ask about that Netherlands company? Is there something going on?"

"Nothing much, I just heard of this company before, and Dean Pei mentioned it, so I asked out of curiosity," Brown replied with a smile.

......

Late at night, in a hotel room.

Brown placed the communicator on the table and sat down in the chair next to it, seemingly waiting quietly for something.

It wasn't until midnight that the communicator rang, and the caller ID showed the name of the Rhine Legion Commander.

Brown answered the phone and first reported to Rhine on Lu Yuan's itinerary for the day, while also highlighting which insects Lu Yuan had encountered and whether any suspicious insects had appeared.

Then, Brown said, "Commander, today while accompanying Lord Lu Yuan on a visit to the orphanage, we discovered traces of the Netherlands Company's activities on Kami Star."

Rhein's face darkened. The Netherlands Company was the very company where Cohen had worked for a long time.

"Please give me a detailed report of the specific situation."

Brown relayed Dean Pace's words to Rhine verbatim. After listening, Rhine pondered for a moment before speaking.

"You secretly investigate the situation of this Netherlands Company on Kami Star, but remember, the safety of my lord is the top priority."

"Understood."

......

After visiting the Stanz Orphanage, Lu Yuan took Brown to visit several other orphanages, leaving only the Smilen Orphanage unvisited.

On the day they were to go to Smailan Orphanage, Lu Yuan and Brown arrived at the orphanage gate at the agreed time, only to find that there wasn't a single insect at the gate.

Lu Yuan was a little unaccustomed to it, since when he visited other orphanages before, the directors of those orphanages would always be waiting for him at the door early in the morning.

Lu Yuan looked around, wondering if Dean Mog had gone to some secluded spot that he hadn't seen.

After looking around for a while, Lu Yuan finally realized that Dean Mog was indeed not waiting for him outside.

"Sir, it seems Dean Mog isn't too welcoming of our arrival," Brown joked.

"Brown, there's no need to say that. There's no rule that they have to greet us outside. Anyway, they've already sent us the address, so we can just go in."

Seeing that Lu Yuanzhen had gone straight into the orphanage without showing any displeasure, Brown thought to himself that his boss, this powerful ruler, actually had a very gentle temper.

If it were my own boss, and anyone dared to treat him so disrespectfully, even if he didn't retaliate to his face, he would definitely make things difficult for him behind his back.

Following the address sent to him by Dean Moge, Lu Yuan found the dean's office.

Upon seeing Lu Yuan and Brown, Dean Mog repeatedly expressed his welcome, but while he said "welcome," he remained firmly seated in his chair without moving an inch.

In his subsequent conversation with Lu Yuan, Dean Moge outwardly cooperated but in reality refused to say a single word.

Lu Yuan gradually noticed Dean Moge's cold attitude, and he became unhappy as well, his face turning cold as well.

He felt that he hadn't done anything to offend Dean Mog, so why was Dean Mog treating him this way? As a result, Lu Yuan also became more impolite when speaking to Dean Mog.

Lu Yuan directly asked Dean Moge to take him to inspect the renovated area. He also carefully checked the warehouse where the supplies were stored. After confirming that the funds donated by the foundation were spent where they should be spent, Lu Yuan prepared to leave.

Given Dean Mog's attitude, Lu Yuan didn't bother to talk to him anymore.

Before leaving, Lu Yuan asked Director Moge to gather all the children in the orphanage so he could give them the small gifts he had brought.

The children of Smailan Orphanage lined up in a long queue in the yard, taking turns to come forward and receive their gifts from Lu Yuan.

When facing the children, Lu Yuan still showed a kind smile.

After the last child received their gift, Lu Yuan frowned as he looked at the ten small gifts that remained.

"Dean Mog, what about the other ten children?" Lu Yuan asked.
