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

The Duke of Norton is dead, and his death is extremely gruesome.

On the way, the insect and the aircraft were completely overturned, and then crushed again, leaving the corpses in a state of disarray.

Upon seeing the Duke of Norton's corpse, the Duke's mother fainted on the spot. After waking up, she immediately went to the palace to cry to the Insect King.

The Insect King was also furious about this. After all, Duke Norton was one of his only two male sons, how could he be treated like this?

So the Insect King ordered a thorough investigation, and all the evidence pointed to the Crown Prince's faction.

The Insect King certainly wouldn't do anything to the Crown Prince, who was his only remaining male son. But the Insect Queen and the First Prince weren't so lucky.

With the encouragement of Duke Norton's father, the Insect King ordered that the Insect Queen be confined to her palace and forbidden from going out or contacting other Insects without permission.

The eldest prince's fiefdom was reassigned, changing from a prosperous region to a small, barren area centered on Puller Star. Furthermore, the Insect Emperor demanded that the eldest prince immediately proceed to his fiefdom and was no longer permitted to remain on the capital star.

Because of some previous events, the Queen and the First Prince trusted the Eighth Prince a lot and also recognized his abilities.

Therefore, before the Insect King's punishment was officially issued, the Insect Queen and the First Prince handed over some of their power to the Eighth Prince, asking him to assist and protect the Crown Prince while they were away. The Eighth Prince solemnly agreed.

After that, the Queen was confined to her quarters, and the eldest prince set off for Pluton.

......

On the way to Pluton, the Crown Prince sat in the spaceship, reviewing the events of the past few days, and the more he thought about it, the stranger it seemed.

He did send insects to attack Duke Norton, but he specifically instructed them not to actually harm Duke Norton. How did things end up like this?

Moreover, this incident gave him a sense of déjà vu, much like the previous case of the Duke of Norton's supporters dying mysteriously.

After the last incident, he suspected there was a mole among his subordinates and conducted a special purge. However, he never expected that a similar incident would occur again, resulting in such serious consequences.

So, the mole hasn't been completely purged yet? Who is behind all this, hiding so deeply?

Just as the eldest prince was pondering, an alarm suddenly sounded on the private spaceship he was traveling in.

His subordinates rushed over in a panic, saying, "Your Highness, something terrible has happened! We've been attacked by enemy insects!"

The timing of the attack was impeccable. The spaceship was already far from the capital planet, and there were no other planets around, so the Crown Prince had no way to seek help.

Therefore, the eldest prince could only rely on his subordinates on the spaceship to fight to the death.

However, the enemy insects were too powerful. In the end, the spaceship was taken over by the enemy insects, and most of the prince's men were killed.

Just as the eldest prince was about to close his eyes and await death after his resistance failed, a masked squad suddenly appeared out of nowhere and started fighting the enemy insects.

After a fierce battle, most of the enemy insects that attacked the Crown Prince were eliminated by the masked insects, while a small number fled in panic.

After everything was over, the masked squad withdrew without waiting for the Crown Prince to speak.

One of the eldest prince's surviving subordinates asked, "Your Highness, what should we do now?"

"Immediately pilot the spaceship and leave, and reach Pluton as soon as possible," the eldest prince said.

"Yes."

......

Inside the secret room, the Eighth Prince was angrily rebuking Weifu.

"How did you all manage to do this? You prepared for so long, yet you still couldn't kill the First Prince."

"Master, we almost succeeded, but a group of masked insects suddenly appeared out of nowhere. They were very strong and drove us back."

"Masked bugs? Who sent them?"

"We haven't been able to find anything yet."

"Then hurry up and continue the investigation."

"Yes, and also, Master Insect, should we continue to send insects to hunt down the Crown Prince?"

The Eighth Prince hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Is the First Prince continuing towards Pluton, or preparing to return to the capital planet?"

"Continuing towards Pleia."

"He's smart. Our follow-up plans are about to begin, and we don't have enough insects to deal with him. Since he's not planning to come back to the capital planet to cause trouble, let's let him go for now."

"Yes."

After listening to the Eighth Prince's lecture, Viv left the secret room.

After Viv left, the Eighth Prince slowly sat down in a chair.

Although he had made a decision, for some reason, the Eighth Prince always had a vague sense of unease in his heart, as if something was beginning to slip out of his control.

......

After the Queen and the Crown Prince left the Crown Prince's side, the Crown Prince was attacked several times by some of the remaining subordinates of Duke Norton's faction.

The Eighth Prince shielded the Crown Prince from these attacks, and he himself was injured as a result. This made the Crown Prince trust and rely on the Eighth Prince even more.

After some time, with the joint efforts of the Crown Prince and the Eighth Prince, the Insect King lifted the Insect Queen's confinement.

Not long after the Queen emerged, the King took her and the Crown Prince to an event.

On their way to the event, the Insect King family was attacked.

The Insect King and Queen were killed on the spot. The Crown Prince was almost killed as well, but the Eighth Prince risked his life to save him. After saving the Crown Prince, the Eighth Prince was seriously injured and fell into a coma.

By the time the Eighth Prince woke up in the hospital, the Crown Prince had already ascended the throne.

After recovering, the Eighth Prince became the Crown Prince of the Insect Emperor, who appointed him as the highest administrative official of the empire, second only to the Insect Emperor in power.

The first order the new Insect King gave to the Eighth Prince was to thoroughly investigate the truth behind the attack on the old Insect King and Queen.

Finally, the Eighth Prince discovered that this was done by some of the Duke of Norton's relatives, who were resentful of the Duke of Norton's death.

Of course, the Duke of Norton's father-in-law was not involved at all, because after the Duke of Norton's tragic death, the Duke of Norton's father-in-law was in poor health and stayed at the Duke's mansion to recuperate, avoiding all outside interference.

With the approval of the new Insect King, all of Duke Norton's close relatives, except for his father, were arrested.

Those found to have participated in the attacks on the insect king and queen were all sentenced to death.

After doing this, the new Insect Emperor stopped managing state affairs. He left all national affairs to the Eighth Prince and spent his days indulging in pleasure in the palace.

The new Insect Emperor did try to recall the eldest prince, but the matter was dropped due to opposition from powerful ministers.

A year later, the new insect king was suddenly poisoned in the palace, and the poison was so potent that it was incurable.

Before his death, the new Insect Emperor, witnessed by powerful ministers, issued an edict passing the throne to the Eighth Prince.
