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

The female insect in the picture has a detached expression, and looks more like Rhine's superior than the previous Crown Prince.

"What's the deal with that joint statement?" Rhine's father asked.

"The statement is true, that's the fact," Rhine replied.

"Why didn't you tell your family beforehand that you accepted the mission? Now you've made things so awkward for them."

Previously, Rhine was arrested by the Male Protection Association on the grounds of maliciously harming S-class male insects. Fearing being implicated, the Hatton family quickly released a statement saying that Rhine's actions were his individual insect behavior and had nothing to do with the family.

They also demanded that the Xiongbao Association severely punish such a traitor, as the Hatton family would never protect a scoundrel like Rhine.

At the time, some members of the family suggested that Rhine should be expelled from the family just in case, but fortunately, it wasn't done that way in the end.

However, although they didn't go completely to the extreme, at the time, in order not to implicate themselves, all the insects in the Hatton family made a big show of disassociating themselves from Rhine.

Now that Rhine is alright, as the most promising child of this generation, the Hatton family naturally wants Rhine to come back and continue to contribute to the family. However, even the shameless Hatton family feels a little embarrassed by this arrangement.

Therefore, some members of the family blamed Rhine for not informing the family in advance, which led to the family being in this awkward situation.

"The Queen and the First Prince repeatedly instructed me that this matter must not be known to a fourth insect, so naturally I could not explain it to my family in advance."

Rhine answered quickly. He wasn't surprised that his female father would ask such a question, since he already knew what kind of people the insects in the family were.

Rhine's parents couldn't criticize this answer either, so they changed the subject.

"Since all previous punishments against you are to be revoked, what about your position in the military?"

"The Crown Prince just contacted me and said that I can return to the military headquarters in a while, and will still be the corps commander of the Third Army Group."

A slight smile finally appeared on the faces of the Rhine couple.

"Very good. By the way, Rhine, you sacrificed so much for this mission, didn't the Queen of Insects or the First Prince offer you any extra rewards?"

"His Majesty and His Highness did not mention this matter."

"The female father thinks you can find an opportunity to subtly hint at it. Now that you've just completed your mission, you can take this chance to get the Queen to grant you a marriage."

Rhine remained silent, and his father-in-law ignored his reaction and continued speaking on his own.

"I made some inquiries, and it turns out that the patriarch of the Claire family just lost his queen a few months ago and hasn't had time to marry a new queen yet. You could try to have the queen bestow you upon the Claire family as their new queen."

"Father, the patriarch of the Claire family is over 150 years old and doesn't have many years left to live. Moreover, he already has ten children." Rhine's face was expressionless.

"Rhine, don't be so superficial. I've taught you since you were little that for us female insects, only the power we have is the most important thing."

"The Claire family is already more powerful than our Hatton family, and it is currently on the rise. If you become the patriarch, you will have the opportunity to control the Claire family's resources. Moreover, as the patriarch, you can also control the patriarch's female servants, which will pave the way for your further promotion in the military."

"Chief Claire is a little old, but he is an A-grade male insect and can provide you with mental soothing."

"As for the children, he does have ten, but none of them are male. If you can find a way to give him a male egg, you will be in charge of the Claire family from now on."

Looking at the mother and father still "planning for him" in the picture, Rhine felt a sense of absurdity.

"Father, didn't you hear the news from the Male Protection Association?"

Rhine interrupted the father-in-law, who was about to continue speaking.

"What news?"

"I've already married a D-class male insect."

"I don't believe such rumors. It's probably Charlie, the president of the Male Protection Association, who deliberately spread these rumors to ruin your reputation. What a tasteless male," Rhine's female father said dismissively.

"It's not a rumor, it's true."

In the scene, Rhine's father seemed to be stuck in the insect, frozen in place. After a long while, he began to speak again, but his expression was no longer as cold and calm as before.

"Where did this D-grade male insect come from?" the Rhine female asked through gritted teeth.

"It's the male insect that Xiongbao would match me with when I was being punished before."

Hearing this answer, Rhine's parents seemed a little relieved.

"Let the Xiongbao Association figure out a solution. Since all your penalties are to be revoked, this absurd forced matching should naturally be revoked as well."

"But I won't let it be reversed. I'm with that male insect now, and I've given him everything I have."

The scene of the Rhine father and mother paused again, then hysterically roared at the Rhine.

"Rhine Hatton, are you crazy? What can a D-class male insect give you?"

"I don't need him to give me anything, Father. I know what I'm doing. He's good to me, and that's enough."

Upon hearing this, Rhine's father and mother appeared even more insane.

"Of course he treats you well. He's a penniless D-class male insect, and your wealth alone is enough to tempt him. Of course he wants to make you his idol."

"But the problem is, what can he give you? Let alone help you in your future, he can't even provide you with mental comfort."

"When your mind is in turmoil, his kindness to you can alleviate your pain, and when you are shortening your lifespan, his kindness to you can help you live a few more years."

"Although I didn't agree with your choice of Song Mo back then, I didn't say anything. Even though he's a commoner, he's still an S-rank, so he'll have no shortage of female servants in the future. As his female master, you'll still benefit from it."

"But look at what you've chosen now, Rhine Hatton. Are you really the female I raised? How could you be so despicable? The male insect pretended to be nice to you for a couple of minutes, and you gave him everything."

Rhine closed his eyes and stopped looking at the female father in the picture. Even though he was mentally prepared that the female father would not say anything nice, being called despicable by his own female father still stung Rhine's heart.

Rhine's father also stopped cursing. He clutched his chest and gasped for breath. It took him a long time to calm down again.

"Now that you've made your choice, you'll have to bear the consequences yourself. I can't control you anymore. Go home tomorrow; your father wants to see you."

After saying this last sentence, Rhine's father and mother hung up the communication.
