I'm transported to the Zerg world, and my female Zerg wife loves me so much.

As she spoke, Laureen took the light screen handed to her by a worker bug behind her.

He clicked on the video of male insects fighting that had recently gone viral on the StarNet and showed it to Cheng Chu and Mikel.

Laureen narrowed his eyes, staring directly into Cheng Chu's eyes. He asked, "Mr. Cheng Chu, is that you, the black-haired, black-eyed male insect in the video?"

This question is completely unnecessary. Black hair and black eyes are such obvious features that it would be difficult to find another one like them even among the Zerg. Cheng Chu couldn't deny it even if he wanted to.

Cheng Chu felt nervous under Laureen's gaze, and awkwardly avoided his eyes, letting out a soft "hmm".

Mikel stepped forward, slightly blocking Cheng Chu's view, and met Laureen's malicious gaze.

Under Mikel's cold gaze, Laureen took a step back. He laughed, "Haha, now that Lord Cheng Chu has admitted it, things will be much easier."

"Admiral Mikel, it's like this." Laureen put away the light screen and explained the purpose of her visit, "Our Male Insect Protection Association has recently received numerous reports from netizens on the StarNet, and this morning we also received a complaint from the victim, Lord Asinar. Lord Asinar complained that your male lord, namely Lord Chengchu, assaulted him without provocation outside the restroom of the specialty restaurant in the Linshi Star Beast Garden..."

At this point, Laureen paused for a moment, then handed over a paper report. Pointing to the seal on it, she said, "This is the injury assessment report provided to our Xiongbao Association by His Excellency Asinar. This report was issued by the Imperial Hospital."

The Imperial Capital Hospital is the most authoritative hospital in the empire, and the authenticity of its reports is beyond doubt.

The video clearly shows that Cheng Chu suddenly rushed out and attacked Asinar. Their investigation also revealed that, prior to this, the two male insects, Lord Asinar and Lord Cheng Chu, had never even met each other.

Now, with evidence of Cheng Chu's assault and the victim's injury assessment report, the Male Insect Protection Association has come knocking on our door.

Cheng Chu hung his head, clutching Mikel's clothes, like a child who had done something wrong.

Mikel did not accept the injury assessment report, nor did he even look at its contents.

His deep blue eyes met Laureen's, and he said coldly, "So, what does he want?"

"Admiral Mikel, please don't be angry. You should know that the Male Insect Protection Association exists to protect the rights of male insects." Laureen put down the report in her hand and said, "Lord Asinar and your male lord, although they are both male insects, their ranks are worlds apart. Lord Asinar is a B-rank male insect, while..."

Laureen glanced meaningfully at the male insect that Mikel was protecting behind him, and said contemptuously, "Your male lord is called E-rank, but to put it bluntly, he has no mental power."

If a male insect lacks spiritual power, can it still be considered a male insect? It's not even as good as the lowest female insect.

What good is it to be good-looking when it's neither male nor female?

That's incredibly unethical. It's practically saying outright that their Male Insect Protection Association protects male insects. But Cheng Chu isn't even considered a male insect, so they won't protect him.

The implication is that even if they take the matter to court, it won't end well if the Male Insect Protection Association isn't on their side. Therefore, the best course of action is to reach a private settlement with the intervention of the Male Insect Protection Association.

Cheng Chu didn't realize that Laureen's words were a veiled insult implying he wasn't a male. Even if he had, he wouldn't have cared, since he wasn't a male to begin with.

However, Mikel heard everything clearly. His tone was clearly displeased: "Vice President Laureen, you've gone too far. Watch your words!"

Laureen showed no fear of Mikel, seemingly unconcerned. He walked past Mikel and Cheng Chu, and sat down on the sofa without any hesitation. Smiling, he revealed his final purpose: "Therefore, based on the harm caused to Lord Cheng Chu by Lord Asinar, Lord Asinar's condition for reconciliation is that Lord Cheng Chu must compensate him with 90 million star coins and publicly apologize to him."

Ninety million Star Coins!

Cheng Chu's heart skipped a beat. He realized that his balance was less than 10,000 star coins, and he couldn't afford to lose that amount even if he sold himself.

"Queen!" Cheng Chu was stunned by the exorbitant compensation amount. He called out anxiously to Mikel. He had messed up; he had gotten Mikel into big trouble!

"It's alright, Master." Mikel was very calm. He pulled the male insect's arm and pressed him down to sit on the sofa, then sat down himself.

0123 then served the sweet water to the guests: "Your Excellency, General, please enjoy."

The round body turned around again and said, "Please enjoy your meal, guests."

Zerg laws are very lenient towards male Zerg. As long as they don't cross the Empire's bottom line or commit a serious mistake, they can settle the matter privately by paying compensation.

Therefore, although Asinar desperately wanted Cheng Chu to spend the rest of his life in prison, it wasn't something he could simply decide to do. In the end, he demanded a settlement with an exorbitant compensation amount.

Normally, it would be unreasonable for Asinar to demand such a high amount of compensation. However, Cheng Chu attacked first without provocation, and the evidence was conclusive. Moreover, Cheng Chu was an E-level male insect, a male insect without even mental power, so the Male Insect Protection Association wouldn't side with him.

In this insectoid society where males are revered, and higher-ranking males are even more so, the level of a male's mental power determines many things.

At Asinar's insistence, the Male Insect Protection Association had no choice but to settle on this mediation amount. In reality, they didn't really fight for anything for Cheng Chu.

Sitting opposite him, Laureen leisurely picked up his glass, took a sip, and then frowned. His expression was exaggerated, clearly showing his disdain. "Admiral Mikel, what kind of water is this?" he said.

Why is there no sweetness at all? Has Mikel become so poor that he can only drink plain water?

It seems that His Excellency Asinar will not be able to obtain the compensation he desires.

Mikel glanced at him sideways and said, "White Water."

Mikel didn't give the male insect protection association's working insects a friendly look, and didn't even want to give them the sweet water that was served as a guest.

He picked up the glass of water in front of him and handed it to the male insect, saying calmly, "Master, you should have some water."

Mikel asked Kryo about treating insects, and Kryo told him that if the male insect had a fever, he could give it more water.

Cheng Chu obediently took the water cup and drank it down in no time.

Laureen couldn't stomach the tasteless water and put down his glass. He looked at Cheng Chu and said, "Lord Cheng Chu, Lord Asinar also said that if you really can't afford to pay these ninety million star coins..."

Laureen's enigmatic gaze fell on Mikel again, and she said meaningfully, "You could also give him your queen..."
