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

Rhine stood up from Lu Yuan's arms and was about to speak when he saw thick smoke billowing in the distance, getting closer and closer.

After Rhine was promoted to S-class female insect, her eyesight improved significantly. Upon closer inspection, she saw that Brown had brought the insects over.

Brown rushed to Rhine's location with the bug, and upon seeing the situation, he knew he was too late.

Brown thought to himself, "It's all over," but his expression remained unchanged as he readily admitted his mistake.

"Commander, I apologize for being late."

Since it was a long way off, Rhine didn't hold a grudge against Brown and just said a few words to him before letting it go.

However, with the addition of Brown and his group of insects, Rhine's side completely gained the upper hand, and the captain's side had no chance of turning the tide.

Rhein first ordered his subordinates to deal with the two Red Robe Insects that had already been subdued: kill one and send the other to the interrogation room.

Leaving one survivor was still to find out exactly how the command post was exposed.

Seeing this, the captain next to him gave a bitter laugh, pulled out a dagger, and was about to stab himself in the neck.

But just as the tip of the dagger was about to touch the skin of his neck, it suddenly stopped and could not go any further.

It turned out that Rhine had teleported over and firmly restrained the captain's hand.

The captain showed no gratitude whatsoever.

"Commander of the Rhine Legion, even if you don't let me die now and arrest me, I won't say a word. I will never betray His Highness," the captain said resolutely.

Rhine leaned closer and whispered to the captain.

"Don't worry, I don't want you to die, nor do I want you to betray His Highness. On the contrary, I will let you leave."

The captain's pupils dilated in shock, but he knew there was no such thing as a free lunch, so he asked, "And what's the price? What do you want from me?"

"I don't want anything from you, I just want you to pass on a message to His Highness," Rhine said.

"What news?"

"Tell Your Highness that I have become an S-rank female insect."

S-class female insects are extremely rare in the Empire, and each one holds a pivotal position.

Excluding Rhine, who just advanced, there are only five active S-class female insects in the Empire right now, and all of them are quite old.

Rhine knew that the Queen and the Crown Prince had tried to win over these S-class female insects for the Crown Prince, but all their attempts failed.

Rhine believed that once the Crown Prince learned that he had become an S-class female insect, he would definitely try to win her over, and would probably not send his men to kidnap Lu Yuan again.

Although when she mistakenly believed that Lu Yuan had been killed, Rhine wanted nothing more than to wipe out the First Prince and all his men.

But now that Lu Yuan is alright, Rhine needs to calmly consider the next steps.

The capture of Lu Yuan taught Rhine a lesson, making her realize that the First Prince was not someone to be trifled with. Even though Rhine had been operating on Golan Star for a long time, the First Prince still had a way to capture Lu Yuan.

Therefore, if we want to protect Lu Yuan's safety in the future, the best way is not to confront the First Prince head-on, but to make the First Prince give up on capturing Lu Yuan.

Now that he has become an S-class female insect, Rhine believes that the Crown Prince, upon learning this news, will reassess his own worth and be willing to make some concessions that he was previously unwilling to make.

As for why the captain was chosen to deliver the message, it was naturally because Rhine could tell at a glance that the captain was a stubborn and unyielding person, and that keeping him around would not yield any information, so it was better to let him deliver the message.

Moreover, the fact that the captain was in charge of this capture operation clearly indicates that he is someone the Crown Prince trusts, making it easier for the Crown Prince to believe what he says.

......

After much hesitation, the captain finally agreed to Rhine's request. In any case, he was going to report the news of Rhine becoming an S-class female insect to His Highness anyway.

Seeing that the captain agreed, Rhein released his grip on the captain's hands and gestured for his subordinates to step aside so that the captain could leave.

The captain was still somewhat skeptical of Rhine's words, so he first walked a short distance to test the waters. Seeing that no insects were chasing after him, he spread his wings, quickly flew into the spaceship hidden in the abandoned port, and then swiftly sailed away from Golan Star.

After the captain left, Rhine glanced at his left arm with a strange expression, but he didn't say anything. Then, he calmly instructed Brown to take the bugs to blow up the abandoned port to prevent future troubles.

After that, he took Lu Yuan home first.

……

Upon returning home, Lu Yuan preemptively asked Rhein about becoming an S-class.

Although Lu Yuan was pretending to be dead with his eyes closed when Rhine's body changed, he didn't see anything.

But later he learned from other insects at the scene that Rhine had become an S-class insect. After all, every insect in the Empire knew that two pairs of wings were a mark of an S-class female insect.

Lu Yuan didn't care how much power Rhine would bring to her family after becoming an S-class female insect; he only wanted to know if this advancement would have any impact on Rhine's body.

After learning that Rhine was alright and even better than before, Lu Yuan was relieved.

Lu Yuan finished his questioning, and it was Rhine's turn next.

Rhine first learned about what happened from Lu Yuan's perspective, then praised Lu Yuan's actions and told him what to do if he encountered a similar situation again.

Then, Rhine and Lu Yuan had a good discussion about the implanted positioning device.

Just as Lu Yuan had predicted, Rhine was very angry that Lu Yuan hadn't told him about installing the implanted locator on himself.

Lu Yuan only knew that implanted locators could easily cause allergic reactions, which was why no male insects were fitted with them, but Rhine knew more inside information.

When implantable locators first appeared on the market, a small number of male insects purchased and installed them for various reasons.

Of the male insects that had the implanted locator installed, one died a few days later due to a severe allergic reaction.

Because the company behind the implanted locator was very powerful, and because the deceased male was only a D-class male, the matter was covered up by the company behind the implanted locator.

But insects that know the inside story will not allow their male insects to have implanted locators installed.

Because Lu Yuan had never mentioned the implanted positioning device, Rhein did not specifically discuss it with him.

But Rhein really didn't expect that Lu Yuan would be so bold as to secretly install an implantable locator.

Even though the implanted locator could save Lu Yuan this time, which can be said to have made a great contribution, Rhine still couldn't help but feel scared. At the same time, he had an urge to beat up his own lord.
