After Lu Yuan finished handling and handing over all the work within the territory, he followed Rhine's subordinates toward the starship.

However, by the time Lu Yuan arrived at the starship, Revol and Sueno were still not rescued.

Pluto truly lived up to its reputation as the long-established stronghold of the Netherlands Corporation. With preparations in place, they gave Rhine no chance to secretly rescue the children.

In the past, Rhine might have considered using his S-class strength to force a breakthrough, or having the starship bomb half of Pluto as a threat.

However, neither of these methods can be used now, because once the opponent has grasped the weakness, even Rhine will have to be hesitant to act rashly.

With Revol and Sueno still in the other side's hands, he was afraid that if Rhine were too forceful, they might do something to the two children. He dared not gamble.

Lu Yuan knew that Rhine was having a hard time, so after arriving on the starship, he did not show his anxiety to Rhine at all.

As he had said before, Lu Yuan did not urge anyone or try to save the child himself. He simply stayed quietly on the starship every day, occasionally checking the surveillance footage of Revol and Sueno.

After Viv sent the surveillance footage of the two children to Lu Yuan last time, the footage has been continuously playing.

However, on this day, when Lu Yuan was watching the surveillance footage of Revol and Sueno, he noticed something was wrong. He discovered that the insects from the Netherlands Company had not been delivering nutrient solutions to the children on time.

Previously, Lu Yuan saw from the surveillance footage that the insects from the Netherlands Company were always fed three meals a day and were given nutrient solutions on time for the two children.

Although Revol and Sueno both looked disgusted while drinking it, they still managed to finish it and didn't go hungry.

Although Lu Yuan felt sorry for them, he knew that the two children had been caught by the bad bugs and were already lucky to be able to eat their fill. Could he really expect those bugs from the Netherlands Company to bring the children delicacies?

So Lu Yuan just thought to himself that once he rescued the children and brought them home, he would definitely prepare lots of good food for them to eat and make sure they were well-nourished.

But on this day, when it was time to deliver the nutrient solution at noon as usual, the insect that usually delivered the nutrient solution did not appear at all.

Lu Yuan had a bad feeling. He had been staring at the screen all afternoon, but the two bags of nutrient solution that were supposed to be delivered still hadn't appeared.

Lu Yuan was in a hurry. Although theoretically, female insect larvae could withstand going without food for two or three days, they would just be a little weak.

But as a father, Lu Yuan couldn't bear to see his own child go hungry.

When Rhine returned that evening, Lu Yuan told him about it, and Rhine's expression turned very unpleasant.

Next, Lu Yuan and Rhine stared at the surveillance footage together and discovered that not only at noon, but also at night, the two children had not received their nutritional supplements.

Revol and Sueno were so hungry that they could only lie on the ground and sleep, rubbing their bellies, to conserve their energy.

Lu Yuan was so angry that he immediately contacted Wei Fu.

"Vivi, what do you mean? Why didn't you send the children nutrient solutions at noon and in the evening?" Lu Yuan asked angrily.

Viv seemed prepared for the question, and he answered quickly.

"Lord Lu Yuan, please don't misunderstand. The two young masters are so adorable, and we don't want them to go hungry. It's just that our training center's supplies are running low right now, and everyone's daily food intake is decreasing. We can only ask that the two young masters suffer with us."

Lu Yuan didn't believe a single word of the nonsense Viv was spouting, so he asked directly.

"What exactly do you want?"

"We are also reluctant to see the two young masters continue to suffer here. Why don't you two, Lord Lu Yuan and Commander of the Rhine Legion, come to our banquet as soon as possible? After the banquet, you can take the two young masters away."

Lu Yuan understood; they still wanted to force them to go to Pluto Star.

Lu Yuan hung up the phone immediately. Then Rhine said in a restrained voice, "My lord, let's be patient for a while longer. Let me try again to see if I can rescue Revol and Sueno."

Seeing Revol and Sueno in their current state, Rhine was naturally also very upset, but if Vif wanted Rhine to go to Pluto by herself, then Rhine would have gone long ago.

But now that Viv insists on adding "long distance," Rhine really doesn't dare.

The power displayed on Pluto Star during this period made Rhine increasingly wary of the Netherlands Company's strength and less and less willing to let Lu Yuan accompany him on adventures.

Lu Yuan lowered his head and gave a muffled reply.

He was torn; he wanted to rescue the two children as soon as possible, but he was also afraid of disrupting Rhine's plans and making things worse.

However, although Lu Yuan and Rhein wanted to delay for a while longer, the Netherlands Company did not want to give them that time.

The amount of nutrient solution sent to Revol and Sueno was gradually reduced, first to once a day, then once every two days, and later to once every three days.

Even for female larvae, such prolonged periods of hunger, while not posing a life-threatening risk, can easily have a significant impact on their growth and development.

Lu Yuan knew that this was the Dutch company's doing, and he really couldn't tolerate it any longer.

When the frequency of delivering nutrient solutions became once every three days, Lu Yuan said to Rhine.

"Let's go to Pluto and see what this so-called banquet is all about."

This time, Rhine did not refuse and agreed after only a few seconds.

When Viv received Lu Yuan's call and learned that Lu Yuan and Rhein had agreed to attend the banquet, he seemed extremely happy. However, before he could speak, Lu Yuan spoke first.

"You should send food to the children first, three meals a day, not one less."

Viv readily agreed, and not long after, Lu Yuan and Rhine saw on the surveillance footage that insects were bringing food to the children.

Moreover, this time the delivery wasn't just nutrient solution, but real food: pies, vegetables, and a small piece of cake. Revol and Sueno devoured the long-awaited food.

Seeing that the children were eating smoothly, Lu Yuan and Rhein were much relieved.

Next, we need to negotiate with Viv on how to get to Pluto.
