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

As the matter of Dean Mog was settled, Lu Yuan also received a notification that a new director of the Smailan Orphanage would soon be in place, which meant that Lu Yuan should leave.

As he prepared to leave, Lu Yuan wanted to say a proper goodbye to the staff and children at the Smailan Orphanage.

The children were especially reluctant to see Lu Yuan leave, and knowing that Lu Yuan would be leaving soon, they all surrounded him and chattered incessantly.

On his last day before leaving, Lu Yuan played "Eagle Catches Chicks" with the children in the orphanage courtyard. One child was the eagle, a group of children were the chicks, and Lu Yuan was the mother hen.

The Zerg race didn't originally exist in this game; it was Lu Yuan, a time traveler, who taught the children to play it.

At first, everything was fine, but Lu Yuan underestimated the fighting instinct of the female insect larvae. As they played, the children got so engrossed that they completely forgot about the rules.

How could the female larvae obediently hide behind the male? So the "chicks" exchanged glances and then rushed up to gang up on the "eagle." Seeing that things were not going well, the child playing the eagle quickly called for his friends.

So some of the chicks temporarily defected and joined the eagles' camp.

What should have been a simple game of eagles catching chicks turned into a brawl between a group of eagles and a group of chicks. The mother hen, Lu Yuan, was too weak in the fight and was driven aside by the chicks.

Lu Yuan, watching from the side, was both amused and exasperated. He wanted to tell the insects to stop hitting each other, but no insect listened to him.

Lu Yuan could only watch from the sidelines; all he hoped for now was that nothing serious happened.

Brown watched with a hearty laugh, occasionally offering suggestions to both sides to make the fight even more intense.

Unbeknownst to the insects, although Lu Yuan was smiling, a hint of sorrow would always creep up his face unintentionally.

The children were playing when the gatekeeper came over and told Lu Yuan that a bug was looking for him.

Lu Yuan asked Brown to keep an eye on the children so they wouldn't get hurt, and then returned to the dean's office.

Upon entering, he saw a tall, upright figure standing with his back to him in the center of the office.

Upon hearing the sound, the insect standing in the office turned around; it was a female insect with a resolute face.

"You must be Lord Lu Yuan. Hello, my name is Viv," Viv said with a smile.

"I'm Lu Yuan. What do you need me for?"

"I'm a workaholic at the Netherlands Company, and I'm here today representing the Netherlands Company."

Upon hearing about the Netherlands Company, Lu Yuan found it strange, wondering why the insects from the Netherlands Company would come looking for him.

In this case involving Dean Mog, the police department also invited Bug from the Netherlands Company to assist in the investigation.

The investigation revealed that if the Netherlands Company recruited children from an orphanage, it would indeed pay the director a referral fee, the amount of which was calculated based on the number of children recruited.

However, the Netherlands Company was unaware of Dean Mog's actions. Locking up the child and forcing him to work for the Netherlands Company was purely Dean Mog's own despicable act.

"Regarding Dean Mog's matter, both I and our company feel very sorry. The referral fee was originally introduced because the company was worried about the difficulty of recruiting miners on remote planets. In order to ensure the smooth recruitment of insects, we introduced this policy. We never expected that it would lead Dean Mog to have such a wicked idea," Viv said.

"This has nothing to do with your company, and there's nothing wrong with the policy itself. Who would have thought that Dean Mog would do something like this for money?" Lu Yuan comforted him.

"After I reported Dean Mog's matter, the company asked me to come here. One reason is to express my gratitude to you, Mr. Lu Yuan. I heard at the police station that it was thanks to you, Mr. Lu Yuan, that Dean Mog's matter was discovered."

"You not only saved those three children, but you also saved the reputation of our Netherlands Company. I can't even imagine what would have happened if we had taken the three children without knowing their identities," Viv said.

"You're welcome, it's what I should do," Lu Yuan said.

"Furthermore, I would like to express my sincere apologies to the three children on behalf of the company. After all, it was because of our company that the three children experienced this tragedy. Mr. Lu Yuan, could you please take me to see the three children?"

"No problem, come with me."

Lu Yuan led Viv to the room of Ace, Aman, and Iser, and the three of them happened to be living in the same room.

Faced with Viv's apology, the three children were initially at a loss, but encouraged by Lu Yuan's gaze, they all told Viv that they knew this matter had nothing to do with the Netherlands Company and that they did not need the Netherlands Company to apologize to them.

Viv seemed to appreciate the three children and even gave them his contact information, saying that if they changed their minds and wanted to work for the Netherlands Company in the future, they could contact him anytime.

All three children expressed their gratitude to Viv.

Seeing that the matter had such a satisfactory ending, Lu Yuan felt very gratified and also developed a better impression of the Netherlands Company.

After finishing his business, Viv left.

The next day, after the new director of Smailan Orphanage arrived, Lu Yuan left with Brown.

With all his activities on Kami Star over, Lu Yuan quickly returned to the hotel, packed his things, checked out, and then went to the port with Brown and his luggage.

Brown had checked beforehand; a spaceship bound for Golan was scheduled to depart in three hours.

Lu Yuan hadn't been able to speak with Rhine for the past three days, and he was getting really worried.

Rhine did send him a message saying that the situation at the front was a bit tense and he couldn't find time to talk to him for the time being.

Upon seeing this message, a shadow seemed to fall over Lu Yuan's heart.

He guessed that war was likely imminent.

In this situation, all he wanted was to return to Golan Star as soon as possible. Although he knew that he wouldn't be able to see Rhine even if he returned to Golan Star, he just wanted to be closer to Rhine.

Lu Yuan sat in the port hall, waiting for his spaceship.

Suddenly, all the televisions in the hall that were playing programs went black. A few seconds later, the television screens returned to normal, but the content playing had all changed to news.

"Breaking news! The Araqi insectoids have launched a large-scale attack on the Empire. Effective immediately, all air routes to planets in the Araqi defense line area are suspended. The resumption time will be announced later."

Lu Yuan suddenly stood up, staring intently at the television, his heart sinking to the bottom of the sea.

At the same time, all the soldiers of the 10th Army were fully armed and looked solemnly in the direction of the Alaqi Black Hole.

Rhine sat in his seat on the starship, eyes closed, his fingers tapping the armrest.

All arrangements have been made, and every soldier is in his place. Now they are just waiting for the Arachnids to arrive.

Suddenly, Rhine opened his eyes, and in front of the Arach black hole, countless black dots appeared.
