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

The male insect's gaze was unfocused; it seemed to be planning its escape route.

The female insect, dressed in a black trench coat, chuckled leisurely. "If I'm not mistaken, have you already sent a message to the reinforcements?"

In Cen Li's narrowed pupils, the other person smiled, "Then I don't know whether my gun is faster or the military arrives faster."

Cooper had somehow put away the strangely shaped weapon and instead began toying with a silver-white gun in his hand.

The movements were casual, yet they inexplicably made the insect's heart pound with fear.

"Noble male insect, if you don't want to lose an arm or a leg, don't make a futile struggle."

As soon as he finished speaking, a powerful mental force attacked Cen Li's face.

The air seemed to tear slightly.

Although he didn't know the other party's specific mental strength level, it was clear that Cen Li was no match for this unfamiliar female insect.

If you can't win, run!

Cen Li quickly jumped off the aircraft and dodged to the side.

Cooper's falcon-like gaze was fixed on Cen Li, and seeing the male insect's remarkably quick reaction, he raised an eyebrow.

The aircraft was forcibly torn open by the attack.

"Hiss—you actually dodged it."

"Looks like you're much better than those weakling worms."

A hint of interest flickered in Cooper's eyes. "Ashir got lucky."

Cen Li looked at him. "You know my queen?"

Cooper grinned, revealing a set of gleaming white teeth. "Yeah, I have a grudge against him."

Cen Li:......

Cen Li asked him calmly, "What grudge? How did you and Asher become enemies? Is there some misunderstanding?"

Despite saying that, Cen Li increasingly felt that the female insect was no good, and might even be an escaped criminal from the empire.

Otherwise, how could he have gotten involved with Ashley?

Cooper, however, did not follow Cen Li's lead. His deep eyes seemed to see through the male insect's inner thoughts, and he slightly curled his lips, "Sir, I will not waste my time with you."

"If you really wait for the insects to come and save you, then you've achieved your goal of delaying them."

He could tell that Cen Li wouldn't compromise easily, so without saying much, he raised his hand and released several more sharp mental energy spikes.

This is clearly not comparable to the initial small-scale operations.

There's nowhere to hide.

The two insects quickly engaged in a battle of mental energy.

The other party appeared to be someone who frequently engaged in insecticide and robbery.

The moves were sharp and cunning.

In no time, Cen Li's clean white clothes were stained red.

The clothes were torn in several places by the mental force.

The skin and flesh are everted.

It looks very tragic.

Cen Li had no doubt that if the employer he mentioned hadn't said he would capture him alive, the other party might have really killed him without hesitation.

Seizing the opportunity, Cen Li's mental energy slashed through the female insect's shoulder, the sound of tearing fabric clearly audible.

Crimson blood seeped out.

I underestimated you.

Cooper glanced at the bleeding wound, his gaze dark and unsettling.

The male insect had actually left wounds on him; he had underestimated it.

When he gets back, those guys won't know how to laugh at him anymore.

Cooper's smile vanished, and his attacks became even more ruthless.

Cen Li gradually lost ground.

Cooper saw that Cen Li had persisted for so long without giving in, stubbornly holding on, and a cold smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Sir, I'm not playing with you anymore."

After saying that, taking advantage of Cen Li's momentary weakness, a strand of spiritual energy quietly circled behind him and quickly wrapped around the male insect's hands, with other strands of spiritual energy following closely behind.

Cen Li's waist was completely bound, and the insect could no longer move.

Facing Cen Li's angry glare, the female insect walked up to him without flinching. "Your Excellency, this game of cat and mouse is finally over."

"I have to report back to my employer."

Cen Li was pulled toward the female insect's flying machine.

It's obviously an unlicensed taxi.

Almost being half-dragged along, Cen Li, still harboring ulterior motives, asked him, "How much does your employer pay you? I can give you more."

The female insect just smiled and didn't say anything. Cen Li continued, "You should know that my male father is a duke, right?"

"I'll give you whatever money you want, just let me go."

The female insect's gaze swept halfway across Cen Li's face with an ambiguous look before continuing to pull on one end of the mental energy rope.

"Of course not."

"Sir, those of us in this line of work have a very high level of professional ethics."

Cen Li stumbled as he was pulled, and his brows furrowed deeply when he heard his stubborn words.

"etc."

Cen Li clung tightly to the aircraft cabin door, refusing to move forward even a single step no matter how the female insect pulled him.

The female insect's face darkened considerably; it was clear that Cen Li was trying every possible way to stall for time.

He grabbed Cen Li's arm and dragged him inside.

The hatch was closed, isolating the outside world.

Cen Li is now in pain and suspects he has been infested with insects.

He never expected that he would be kidnapped, and that his attempt to bribe the kidnappers with money had failed.

If asked who he had a grudge against, Cen Li could only think of Miha U.

Could it really be him?

How dare they do this? Aren't they afraid that Xiongfu and his men will find out?

After tossing Cen Li aside, Cooper ignored him and quickly tapped the controls on the aircraft.

The aircraft flew away as fast as an arrow released from a bow.

Cooper smiled as he looked at the few dots on the screen.

"Sir, it seems you are highly valued; the military's insects arrived so quickly."

The female insect seemed to have a mysterious confidence.

Once on the aircraft, Cen Li's activities were no longer restricted.

However, with his hands bound, he really couldn't do anything.

Cen Li did try to break free from the spiritual force attached to his hands.

But S-level mental strength is not so easy to break free from, so he gave up the idea.

The communication devices on its body had been discovered by the female insect and discarded before it even boarded the aircraft.

"Damn it, you've been taken away!"

The arriving female insects could only see a dilapidated aircraft; the male insects were nowhere to be seen inside.

"Is this your communicator?"

Derek accepted it, nodding solemnly. "It is indeed a small gift."

Video communication was cut off a long time ago.

The signal on Cen Li's end was very unstable, and the sound was intermittent.

Derek could vaguely tell that the two insects had fought.

He is now very worried about Cen Li's insect body safety.

A female soldier stepped forward and saluted General Derek.

"Reporting to the General, no suspicious insects have been found nearby."

"There is blood on the ground, and after testing, it belongs to Lord Cen Li. We suspect that he has encountered danger."

General Derek's face was grave. "They should have just left not long ago."

"We did not detect any suspicious aircraft."

Ashley, who had been urgently summoned by General Derek, was no better looking.

His gaze first shifted from the glaring bloodstains on the ground, but upon hearing the female insect's words, he frowned and retorted.

"The other party left so quickly, they must have used some kind of transportation. Perhaps they installed tools to evade detection systems on their aircraft."

Derek nodded in agreement, unusually agreeing with Ashley's suggestion, "Check the nearby satellite systems to see if any suspicious aircraft have passed by in the past hour."

Ashel volunteered, "General, please let me handle this matter."

"I bear some responsibility for the kidnapping of our powerful leader."

Derek's dark gaze fell on him. "Alright, then I'll leave it to you to handle."

"Make sure you bring the small gift back to me intact."

Ashley should be.

Soon, several anxious insect chirps rang out in succession.

"Oh no, General!"

"The military has received a notification that several male insects have mysteriously disappeared!"
