A is in StarCraft, just disembarked from the Zerg Prince spaceship.

**************

......

In the northern temperate zone of Earth, at six o'clock in winter, dusk has already fallen, with only a faint ray of light remaining on the horizon.

The hilltop villas are illuminated with soft landscape lighting.

Lu Jianan's wailing had just been violently suppressed by Gao Tian, ​​but she was still sobbing uncontrollably.

Gao Tian handed him a tissue to wipe his snot with utter disgust.

What a loser. All he does is wail and cry all day.

Lu Jianan was wiping her nose when suddenly...

"call--"

A very low, deep, high-speed vibrating whistling sound came from afar, pressing down from the sky.

The noise didn't sound like the roar of an aircraft engine; it was more like a giant wing tearing through the sky, sweeping down and pressing in from above.

The Crown Prince heard the voice first and looked up.

Wow.

Some insects are really good at showing off.

On the dark sky, where a sliver of orange light still lingered on the horizon, a blackish-green meteor was rapidly growing larger.

Its speed was astonishing, carrying a ferocious momentum that seemed to tear through the clouds.

It's Bishammantis spreading her wings!

The Crown Princess and Lu Jianan also saw it.

Lu Jianan, who had been sobbing, involuntarily opened her mouth—

Wow--

The older brother didn't pilot the aircraft; he flew back directly.

The wings, which are usually tucked under the two elytra, are fully spread out behind them. The bright air friction and the stream of light rush and burn between the grooves of the wings, tearing through the dark sky, like gold and jade!

Bishenmantis resembled a giant god descending from ancient mythology, carrying with him the lingering chill from the depths of the sky, as he swooped down toward the mountaintop platform!

"Splash—!!!"

The massive airflow, like a heavy hammer, slammed into the platform, kicking up a cloud of dust and fallen leaves.

Startled by the terrifying display, Lu Jianan instinctively clutched the file bag in her hand, stood at attention, and prepared to offer her tribute.

Gao Tian squinted from the gust of wind, raised his hand to shield his eyes, and exclaimed, "Wow! Big Brother's performance... is awesome!"

Wow, awesome! The Crown Prince stood there and gave a very inconspicuous smirk.

Some insects just love to show off.

The mantis performs a spectacular, physics-defying right-angle sudden stop!

The enormous wings suddenly folded backward, and the blazing white light instantly contracted by more than half, transforming into a stable, suspended airflow.

The violent roar subsided instantly, with only the swirling leaves still drifting down.

Bi Shen landed steadily, his feet landing on the edge of the platform.

The enormous wings folded themselves in a fluid motion, as if they were alive, then silently folded back onto their backs and disappeared into their clothing.

—His gaze silently swept over the crowd on the platform.

well.

Weren't you all shocked?

The result was that the Crown Prince had a half-smile on his face.

Lu Jianan was still in shock.

Only the blond guy was shocked.

He's really been tied up. [A bitter smile]

Thank you everyone for watching. [Except for the blond guy]

When you see Lu Jianan behind Gao Tian, ​​you feel a more imposing, menacing aura emanating from Shen, as if he's just returned from dismantling a gang...

It was as if the pause button had been pressed, and there was a brief moment of calm (or it could just be an illusion).

He stepped forward and walked towards the door.

She had a slender waist and long legs, wore a neat suit, and even her hair was perfectly styled. Her leather shoes made a steady, rhythmic sound as they stepped on the alloy floor.

Lu Jianan came running over, presenting the file folder in her hand: "Big brother, your documents!"

"Hmm." He accepted it casually.

Lu Jianan ran back to Gao Tian's side with a clattering sound.

Bishen: "?"

Lan smiled as she looked at Bishen approaching.

"Is it all demolished?"

Did you manage to subdue Carlo?

Bi Shen stopped a step away from Lan. He didn't answer Lan's question, but instead looked over Lan's shoulder and precisely at the little good-for-nothing behind Gao Tian, ​​whose only part was visible: the top of his head.

?

Huang Mao and Lu Jianan were huddled together, whispering something to each other.

What are you muttering about? What's there to talk about with blondie?

The Crown Prince, annoyed, took a step forward, blocking his view: "Stop looking, can you answer my question first?"

My Chief of the Ninth Army, Bishenmantis, you've changed. You've been bewitched by some good-for-nothing and no longer prioritize important matters.

"What are you talking about? Isn't that obvious?" With his view blocked, Bi Shen sneered, "No need for rotations, let the Third Army defend themselves."

What other outcome could there be after he made this trip?

Or was he really just bored and decided to beat up his colleague to vent his anger?

Even within their nine legions, it cannot be said that they are a monolithic entity.

It would be a pipe dream to think that hundreds of millions of insects could be handled without any problems.

The only things that are absolutely certain are without any problems are their Mantis Legion and their incredibly strong, high-speed air force, the Dragonfly Legion, which no alien race can penetrate.

One is a praying mantis, the other a dragonfly; they are the strongest in combat and the strongest in aerial combat, respectively, each already at the pinnacle of their abilities. No amount of wealth or power can sway their hearts.

The Mantis Legion is their core force and cannot be easily redeployed, so the Dragonfly Legion will have to guard the wormhole for now.

The Crown Prince could not directly tell the other legions, "I don't trust you, I only trust the Third Army."

This is the only approach we can take.

It was the Third Army Chief of Staff's idea; if there are any problems, they should protest on their own.

Whether it's a real protest or not doesn't matter, as long as the protesters take action.

The Mantis family is notorious for its arrogance and domineering attitude among the Zerg. The Mantis patriarch was dissatisfied with having to guard the wormhole, so he directly engaged in a real-time battle offline, defeating the Third Legion Commander to the point of submission, eliminating the need for rotation and thus resolving all issues.

The logic is sound and the reasoning is sound.

The Politburo was thus hidden behind a farce in which the Third Army Chief of Staff refused to guard the wormhole, dragged other worms into the mess, and was then brutally beaten by the Mantis Lord.

As for what to do if the Third Army Chief of Staff is unwilling, there's not much that can be done; we can only put him in a difficult position for the time being.

It was completely dark by now.

The Crown Princess and Lu Jianan were still whispering to each other, their conversation seemingly unintelligible.

The elder brother chatted with the Crown Prince for a few more minutes.

"He's been acting as the Crown Prince's lackey again. More money."

"If you add me, you'll have to surpass me."

"You're talking nonsense."

"Do you know what people outside are calling you now? Regent?"

"I don't know, I can't hear you."

......

Bi Shen glanced at Gao Tian and Lu Jianan again.

What exactly was Huang Mao talking to Lu Jianan about? How come they have so much to say? :)

After a few words, Bamba came out and invited the ancestors inside. Dinner was ready.

Gao Tian carried Lu Jianan to wash her face and hands, like carrying a scruffy kitten, and strode inside.

The Crown Prince and Bishen followed behind them.

Lan casually put his hands in his pockets, turned his head, and glanced at the fresh bloodstain on Bi Shen's shoulder, the edges of which were still slightly red.

"You didn't really make Carlo—" Lan paused, carefully choosing his words, and finally chose the most direct one: "Did you really cause him any problems?"

Bishen stared straight ahead, his pace unchanged. His face was expressionless, his fluorescent green eyes reflecting the cold light of the corridor lamps as he silently took two steps.

"Hmm?" The Crown Prince turned to face him.

Why aren't you saying anything? Have you really gotten into trouble?

Just when Lan thought he wouldn't answer.

Bishen remained silent for a long time, then said in the calmest voice, "It's not a big problem. It's just that his Third Army Chief of Staff's flagship was dismantled. It's fine, we can afford to pay for it."

The praying mantis family has plenty of money.

He took two more steps. Bishen, as if adding explanation or precisely describing the situation, added a few more words: "Carlo is alright too... maybe slightly dead."

They're so resilient to be hit, how could they possibly get hurt?

The crown prince stopped and looked at him speechlessly: "I'm truly impressed by you. How could you really beat him to death like that?"

Bishen stopped and looked at him: "Didn't you tell me to beat him to death? You said not to kill him." Doesn't that mean to beat him half to death?

"I said don't kill him, but I didn't mean you should actually beat him half to death."

"Then why don't you explain it more clearly?"

The Crown Princess took Lu Jianan to wash her hands and face.

The Crown Prince walked first to the dining room where the aroma of food wafted out and sat down: "Are you taking revenge for him, holding a grudge against him for not opening the door for you?"

"You're talking nonsense. I'm not that kind of worm." Bi Shen snorted and sat down as well.

Gao Tian returned with Lu Jianan.

Gao Tian sat down opposite him.

The current situation is as follows: the long dining table is filled with exquisite dishes, the Crown Prince sits at the head, and Gao Tian and Bi Shen each sit on one side.

Lu Jianan hesitated for a moment, but finally sat down next to Gao Tian.

Well, I feel like he should still stick with Gao Tian right now.

Between the eldest brother and Gao Tianxuan, Gao Tianxuan is closer.

When Gao Tian was around, he was like a chick under a mother hen.

Lu Jianan sat down.

Bishen stared straight ahead, expressionless, his fingers tapping impatiently on the table.

Bambo called the chef to serve the dishes and opened the wine bottle.

The mantis boss sat upright with his legs crossed, his well-tailored suit highlighting the sharp lines of his shoulders and back.

His expression was sharper than his suit, and he didn't even glance at the food in front of him.

Bampo poured them drinks.

The liquor swayed slightly in the glass, reflecting Bishen's expressionless face.

His gaze was neither on the food nor on Bampo's hand as he poured the wine.

His gaze locked onto the good-for-nothing across the street who only knew how to bury his head in his food.

one second.

two seconds.

three seconds.

Lu Jianan was completely unaware.

He was immersed in the long-lost sense of security of the chicks returning to their mother hen, burying his head in his rice, completely unaware of the intense gaze emanating from the older man across the way.

Bishen gritted his teeth and pursed his lips in a very subtle way.

accurate.

After the little good-for-nothing came back, he completely ignored Huang Mao's existence when he was with him.

Bi Shen subtly lowered his head, moved his wine glass slightly, and glanced at him again.

Huang Mao gave Lu Jianan a steak.

He was genuinely a little unhappy.

On the exquisite palace dining table, the light from the silver candlesticks flickered, illuminating the increasingly dark face of the Ninth Army Commander-in-Chief of the Bishen Army.

His Highness the Crown Prince held his knife and fork, looking left and right with great interest, seemingly oblivious to the almost palpable oppressive aura emanating from his childhood friend diagonally opposite him.

Crown Prince: Watching the show.

This is a complete mess.

whee.

I drank it while everyone was in a panic!
