The powerful leader was tough on the outside but soft on the inside; the aloof major general fell fo

Before it was time to leave work, Ashel received a call, his expression changed, and he quickly left.

Yero watched the major general's hurried figure go by, wondering if it was a communication from the major general, Xiong Zhu.

The major general looked unwell when he left, as if he had been entangled in some trouble.

Hiero was deeply worried.

I just hope that nothing bad will happen to the major general on his trip.

The Berkville family holds a monthly gathering.

When Cen Li received the communication from General Derek, he was somewhat surprised because the family dinner was scheduled to be held earlier than planned.

Previously, it was usually at the end of the month.

General Derek said it was the Duke of Jolay's idea, that is, Cenley's father.

Cen Li didn't ask any further questions, only saying that he would arrive on time.

in the afternoon.

Xiya frequently appeared before him, serving him tea and water, her attentive manner making Cen Li feel somewhat strange.

When Asher was supposed to get off work, and after a long time had passed and Cen Li still hadn't seen the insect, the strange feeling he had been suppressing in his chest began to grow.

He sent Ashel a message, but as expected, he received no reply.

When asked at the military headquarters, they received a surprised reply: "The major general left the military headquarters around 3 PM!"

Three o'clock...

Cen Li frowned, his knuckles unconsciously rubbing the protruding bones on his wrist.

After a three-second silence, the other end pressed, "Mr. Cen Li, wasn't that communication made by you?"

"no."

After receiving Cen Li's reply, Yero tightened his grip on the communicator.

If it wasn't the major general that the male insect called away, then who could it be?

Cen Li also wanted to know, and just as he cut off the communication, he happened to run into Xi Ya's evasive gaze.

He calmly suppressed his chaotic thoughts and asked, "Do you know where Ashley is?"

"A powerful, a mighty ruler."

Xiya was already feeling guilty, and when Cen Li suddenly called out to her, she almost lost her mind.

He tried to exonerate himself, but his obviously suspicious appearance made it impossible for Cen Li to believe him.

"Speak quickly! Don't waste my patience."

Only after repeated questioning did Cen Li learn that Asher had been called away ahead of time.

"What could the father possibly want with Ashley?"

Xiya avoided Cen Li's gaze and stammered, "I don't know."

Xiya is timid and has poor acting skills; her thoughts are written all over her face, and she is obviously hiding something from him.

Seeing that he couldn't get anything out of him, Cen Li put his mind at ease and prepared to go directly to the old house.

Upon arriving at the destination, before Ashley even appeared, they were greeted by General Derek.

General Derek's gaze fell on Cen Li, who was sitting in a wheelchair, and he smiled: "Has your head been hurting lately?"

Cen Li shook his head: "It's all over now."

"That's good."

General Derek nodded, his gaze sweeping over Cen Li, before he hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped himself.

Cen Li, feeling puzzled by his gaze, asked, "What's wrong, Father?"

"Yes, that's right."

General Derek coughed lightly, his right fist pressed to his lips, and then said, "The spots on your face have faded quite a bit."

General Derek spoke in broken sentences.

He was afraid of upsetting Cen Li.

Cen Li rubbed his chin with his fingers, his eyes flickering.

Seeing that Cen Li didn't speak, fearing he might overthink things, General Derek comforted him, saying, "This might be a good omen."

General Derek had actually noticed the change in Cen Li's expression long ago, but he held back from asking because he was worried that Cen Li would be disappointed if he told him.

But this change was so obvious that he was sure Cen Li had noticed it too.

Cen Li did not follow General Derek's advice to remain silent in his wheelchair and earnestly play the role of a reclusive and gloomy male insect.

During this time, Xi Ya glanced at him several times, and he even caught her doing so once.

Cen Li interrupted General Derek's rambling and asked, "Father, where is Ash?"

General Derek was taken aback: "He angered your father, and he should still be kneeling as punishment."

Cen Li frowned: "What did I do to upset Father Xiong?"

Ash didn't even say two words, so how did he manage to anger Duke Jolai?

General Derek was stumped by the question and took three seconds to answer: "I don't know the specifics. Ashel was already being forced to kneel as punishment after I returned from the military."

General Derek paused for a moment, then said casually, "You seem to care about Ashl quite a bit now."

Cen Li was startled and subconsciously retorted, "How could that be? I was just asking casually."

General Derek seemed to smile slightly and hummed in agreement, it was unclear whether he believed him or not.

As he left, General Derek tossed out, "Ash is in the yard."

Cen Li paused slightly, recalling the meaningful look in General Derek's eyes as he left, and felt rather uneasy sitting in his wheelchair.

Hopefully, Admiral Derek hasn't noticed anything, and it's best if the system doesn't determine that he's deviated from the original insect's design.

System: "Host, don't worry too much. Our main task is to collect humiliation points. As long as the main brain hasn't made a judgment on the rest, there's no need to be nervous."

Cen Li pondered, "Doesn't this mean he has a lot of control over his position?"

The system told him not to deviate from the insect design because it was afraid that other insects would notice that the core of this body had been changed, which would cause unnecessary trouble.

So as long as Cen Li's usual behavior isn't too outrageous, it'll be fine.

He was previously electrocuted because the mainframe detected his lack of work performance. After he accepted the situation and stopped having such thoughts, he was not punished again.

Ultimately, collecting humiliation points is the top priority; everything else can take a backseat.

Cen Li thought for a moment, then asked, "How many humiliation points have I collected so far?"

The system paused for two seconds before replying: "The system detected that the host has collected a total of 286 humiliation points, which is 99714 humiliation points away from 100,000."

"Host, keep up the good work!"

Upon hearing the long string of numbers, Cen Li felt a sense of despair: "There are still so many?!"

It would take him forever to collect all that!

Each time the humiliation value increased by single digits, Cen Li already felt that two hundred or so was a lot.

But it's far less than 100,000.

Cen Li felt that even if he lived his entire life here, he still wouldn't be able to collect a full 100,000 humiliation points.

The system encouraged, "Don't be discouraged, host! You can do it!"

"I will report back to the mainframe to generate the optimal plot points for you, so that the host can collect more humiliation points."

Cen Li: "Wait, does that mean that the plot points aren't mandatory?"

System: "That's one way to understand it."

"The purpose of setting up plot points is simply to help the host complete the mission more effectively."

"So, host, don't resist, just follow the storyline seriously."

Cen Ligang was about to say that this would mean they wouldn't have to follow the plot, but when the system said that, he silently swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue.

If only he could find a way to collect enough humiliation points without following the storyline.

In that case, the system can't say much.

Cen Li thought.

Things have come to this point. If he can really complete the mission and return to Earth to continue living his carefree life as a young master, there's nothing wrong with that.
