Zerg: I ​​was picked up by the cold and beautiful Major General at the start of the game.

"Brothers! Stop talking about the dolls! Go see this shocking scoop! We've got a breaking news story! Lord Carlos once tortured a female servant to death!"

"Carlos's former female servant didn't die an 'accidental death' at all; she was tortured to death by him! More importantly, she was already pregnant with male insect offspring at that time!"

"What?! What the person upstairs said is true? Does that mean the insect babies died too?"

"I just checked... My faith has crumbled! I trusted him so much! I even secretly doubted Lord Lin Luo and helped him criticize Voske! I was such an idiot!"

"Apologize! We must apologize to Lord Lin Luo!"

"So he was acting the whole time? Exploiting our trust and our fear of the mental sea!"

"The more I think about it, the angrier I get! How much injustice has Lord Lin Luo suffered!"

"I'm sorry, Lord Lin Luo, because I've caused you so much injustice..."

......

The female insect who initially suspected the rolling doll silently apologized, but was drowned out by the vast tide of information and no insect saw it.

Public opinion has completely shifted.

The previous doubts and silence towards Lin Luo have turned into a stronger outpouring of apology, support, and admiration.

The condemnation and exposure of Carlos's misdeeds intensified, eventually leading to his complete disgrace.

Lin Luo looked at the scrolling comments on the screen, her feelings complicated.

He successfully turned the tide and proved his innocence, but he also gained a deeper understanding of the madness and distortion of this world.

He put down the personal terminal, sighed softly, and leaned back on the sofa.

Eland walked over to him, handed him a glass of warm water, and said gently:

"You've done what you could; the rest is up to the females to choose for themselves."

"That's right, the result is good after all, we've achieved a major victory! It's worth celebrating!" Lin Luo cheered up again.

"Let's go play a holographic game, Ailand, you teach me!" Lin Luo, now relaxed, became very enthusiastic.

"Okay, we'll go after dinner. I've made your favorite dishes, would you like to try them?" Aland asked gently.

"Ayland, you're so amazing! You're equally at home in the drawing room and the kitchen!"

"Huh? What does that mean?"

"It's just to praise you for being talented in both academics and martial arts!"

......

Outside the window, the night sky over the capital star remained dazzling, and the storm caused by the rolling dolls, after experiencing its greatest crisis, finally sailed toward an even more intense future that no one could have predicted.

------

Carlos's mansion

In the luxurious room, Carlos stared intently at the light screen.

Lin Luo's doll sales skyrocketed, and the StarNet was full of praise and apologies for him. In contrast, there were posts digging up his past abuse of female servants!

Carlos's chest heaved violently, and his eyes seemed to be spitting fire.

"Bastards! A bunch of blind idiots!"

He slammed the expensive wine glass in his hand to the ground, shards and wine splattering everywhere.

"Why?! Why do those lowly females dare to fawn over him like this! They should be the ones trampled into the mud! I'm the one who should have won!"

Moreover, some insects were even gossiping about his "accidentally" dead female servant, and even blaming him for it!

"That good-for-nothing! It's an honor he earned in his past lives to die as my female servant!"

And he didn't even realize sooner that I was pregnant with the insect babies, what a waste of my bloodline!

Aside from that, isn't everything he endures perfectly natural? Which male insect doesn't do the same?!

"These damned female insects have really gone too far!"

He paced back and forth in the room like a trapped beast, his anger growing ever stronger, with nowhere to vent it.

He turned his head sharply, his sinister gaze locking onto the two female servants huddled in the corner—Ray and Thor.

"You!" His voice was icy and chilling.

"Do you think the same way those damned bastards on the StarNet? Hmm? Are you secretly resenting me too?"

Ray and Thor froze, their faces turning deathly pale.

The instinct for survival made them lower their bodies almost reflexively, their voices trembling uncontrollably:

"Not at all! It's our honor to help you ease your mind! We hold absolutely no resentment!"

"To serve a great lord is an immense blessing; we are filled with gratitude!"

Carlos felt a slight satisfaction at their fearful and cowering appearance, but his twisted desires were also aroused.

He needed to vent, he needed to hear cries of agony to calm his anger.

"Hmph, that's easy for you to say." His eyes darkened, a hint of cruelty flashing across them.

"Go and fetch the 'Thorn Whip.' Looks like I need to give you a good talking-to about what 'honor' truly means!"

Thorn Whip!

Ray and Thor felt as if they had fallen into an ice cave!

The whip was covered with fine barbs that could directly stimulate nerve endings. The pain from a single lash was far greater than that of an ordinary whip, yet it did not leave any obvious scars. It was one of Carlos's favorite instruments of torture.

Ray's body swayed almost imperceptibly, his face deathly pale, but he dared not hesitate in the slightest, and answered tremblingly, "...Yes, my lord."

He struggled to his feet, preparing to go to the disciplinary room to get the whip.

Just then—

"Ding-dong! A guest has arrived!" The smart home assistant's notification sound rang out abruptly, breaking the suffocating atmosphere in the room.

Interrupted, Carlos frowned in extreme displeasure and snapped, "Who's so blind! Ray, go open the door!"

"Yes...yes! My Lord!" Ray felt as if he had been granted a pardon, and almost staggered as he walked quickly toward the door, secretly praying that this unexpected visitor could delay him for a little longer.

The door slid open, and standing outside were not any of the visitors expected, but several working insects wearing the uniforms of the Male Insect Protection Association. The one in the lead was the serious-looking manager who had visited Lin Luo's house before.

Ray was stunned and instinctively made way for him.

The association's staff walked straight into the living room and respectfully bowed to Carlos, whose face was grim.

"Good day, Your Excellency Carlos. I apologize for disturbing you—"

"What are you doing here?"

Carlos was in a terrible mood and rudely interrupted the other person.

"I didn't call you over!" He had no liking for these association bugs, especially since he was about to "get things done."

The leading female insect seemed to have anticipated his attitude, remaining unfazed and speaking in a businesslike tone:

"We apologize for disturbing you, but we are here because we have received formal charges and require your cooperation in an investigation by the association."

"Investigation? Investigate what?" Carlos frowned impatiently.

The worker said in a calm and clear tone:

"Your Excellency Lin Luo, a Grade A male insect, is formally accused of fabricating and disseminating false information, maliciously defaming him, and causing significant damage to his reputation and business property."

According to the "Male Insect Relationship Mediation Regulations" and relevant provisions of the "Anti-Unfair Competition Law," the association needs to file a case and conduct a preliminary investigation. We need you to come with us to the Male Insect Protection Association to explain the situation.

"What?!"
