Chapter 115 He said it was a minor injury
Yi Hao said, "You deserve to die."
They could even harm their own flesh and blood, such young children.
Wen Bin's eyes were sinister: "I deserve to die, but Wen Shikun deserves to die even more. No one can stand his morbid desire for control. He interferes with my every preference, and even wants me, the heir of a great noble family, to marry a gardener's daughter. It's utterly absurd."
Yi Hao stared expressionlessly at the man before him who had completely abandoned his pretense: "What does your feud with your father have to do with the child?"
Wen Bin slammed his hands on the table, the chains clanging loudly, startling Ambrose, who was standing guard nearby, who immediately stepped in front of the emperor.
"Of course it's because he cherishes Wen Shumu the most. Whatever he cares about, I will destroy it so that he can also taste the feeling of being unable to control his own destiny."
Yi Hao raised his hand, signaling Ambro to step back.
He stood up and looked down at the once elegant but now hysterical head of the Wen family: "Back then, the power of the nobility was even greater than it is now. If it weren't for the invasion of the alien beasts, Father Emperor would probably have already taken action against the nobility."
"Wen Shih-kun is a sensible man. He once went to the palace to meet his father, promising to give up some of his real power and territory, just to recommend his only son to the cabinet and ensure the future of the Wen family."
Wen Bin had no idea about this. A look of disbelief flashed in his eyes, and his voice trembled slightly: "That's because he's weak and incompetent, and he wants to seek so-called stability in this way..."
"He assessed the situation and led the Wen family back to Anjiang Star, far from the strife. But you were not satisfied and insisted on returning, getting involved in the mess on the Imperial Star, and you even thought you were very capable."
"All of this is your own fault."
Wen Bin looked dejected, as if his soul had been ripped away, and sat blankly in the interrogation chair.
He never imagined that his father, who always had a stern face and was strict to the point of being harsh, had actually considered his future.
But... so what? It's all too late to turn back now.
As Yi Hao turned to leave, he suddenly heard Wen Bin let out a strange laugh, which then grew increasingly maniacal.
"What can His Majesty do if he arrests me? Some things are beyond human control."
Yi Hao whirled around, his sharp gaze piercing through Wen Bin: "What do you know?"
Wen Bin fell silent, only smiling as he gazed at the gray ceiling. The light from the incandescent bulbs was blindingly bright, and a hissing sound, absolutely impossible for a human to utter, echoed deep within his mind.
In this world, only he can hear it, and only he can understand it.

The hovercar stopped at the entrance of the orphanage. Wen Shumu and Ling Suyu got out of the car with Cen Zhuyuan and planned to take him to his dormitory.
Cen Zhuyuan knew that after tonight, he probably wouldn't see these two uncles again for a long time.
Unlike in the morning, when he hurriedly followed the adults, afraid of being left behind, his short legs now moved very slowly, taking each step only after he had firmly planted his foot.
I wish this road to the dormitory were a little longer, so I could spend a little more time with the uncles.
Seeing Yuan Yuan walk slower and slower, Wen Shumu and Ling Suyu exchanged glances, both understanding what Yuan Yuan was thinking.
They actually felt the same way.
Wen Shumu secretly observed Yuan Yuan's current residence.
This welfare home has a very nice environment, with red roofs and white walls, wide and clean roads, lush trees on both sides, and shrubs and some flowers and plants. The landscaping is very well done.
Cen Zhuyuan walked unsteadily along the side, occasionally stepping on the bricks of the flower bed. Ling Suyu, afraid that he would fall, stayed by his side the whole time.
"what?"
Cen Zhuyuan suddenly stopped and squatted down, pointing to the bushes and saying, "There's a little puppy here!"
Upon hearing this, Wen Shumu smiled and leaned closer, saying, "Where? Let me see."
Cen Zhuyuan pointed to a black mass under layers of green leaves: "Here! It looks like it's sleeping."
The black mass seemed to have heard the noise, twitched its ears, opened its eyes, and suddenly opened its mouth wide towards Yuan Yuan, who was closest to it.
"Back off!"
Before Wen Shumu could figure out what was happening, he saw Ling Suyu step in front of them, his left arm being bitten by the black "puppy" and not letting go, his white shirt immediately stained with blood.
Those distinctive scarlet eyes and sharp canine teeth made Wen Shumu instantly realize: "It's a strange beast!"
Ling Suyu swiftly drew the gun from his waist with his right hand, and the beam precisely pierced the small beast's eye. It finally released its grip, fell to the ground, and died.
Wen Shumu looked at his left arm, which was covered in bright red blood, and his eyes instantly welled up with tears: "Brother, your arm..."
Cen Zhuyuan was so frightened that she trembled all over, and her little face was covered with tears.
"I'm sorry... Uncle Marshal, I shouldn't have looked at the puppy, I'm so sorry!"
The guards who had been following from a distance all rushed over. Heck's face turned pale. When he came into the marshal's view, he immediately understood and quickly sent a message through his terminal.
Ling Suyu's expression was cold and stern, his brows furrowed: "It's a minor injury, don't worry."
Wen Shumu was speechless; all he could see was a sea of blood.
Is this a minor injury for the older brother?
The beast bit so deeply that it was impossible to shake it off; my brother must have two bloody holes in his arm.
How could this be a minor injury?
A piercing alarm suddenly blared overhead, followed by anxious voices: "A strange beast has appeared in the main city of Flora! All residents are to immediately proceed to the nearest underground shelter!"
The broadcast was repeated many times.
The once quiet environment suddenly became restless, and some rooms in the dormitory building not far away, which had already turned off their lights, suddenly lit up with white light.
Ling Suyu instructed one of the guards to take Yuanyuan to meet with the staff of the welfare home.
The welfare home on Flora Star has conducted numerous emergency drills for attacks by alien beasts at the request of the authorities. In such chaotic circumstances, it is actually safer for Yuan Yuan to stay with them.
"Heck, take Madam to the shelter. The rest of you, organize the orderly evacuation of the welfare home." At Ling Suyu's command, the guards immediately began their operation.
Wen Shumu looked up at him blankly: "I'm going to the shelter, what about you?"
This is a question that they all know the answer to.
Ling Suyu was silent for a moment, then reached out her right hand and pulled him into her arms, whispering gently in his ear, "Xiao Mu, wait for me at the shelter. If the situation stabilizes, I'll come to pick you up soon."
Wen Shumu could hardly suppress the worry in his eyes.
What if the situation becomes unstable?
He couldn't bring himself to ask, and he couldn't afford to cause Ling Suyu any inconvenience at this critical juncture.
Wen Shumu tried to calm himself down, his voice slightly trembling and hoarse: "I understand, I'll leave now, but... your hand needs to be treated as soon as possible."
Ling Suyu nodded gently. Now was not the time for tenderness. He slowly released his hand, signaling Hek to take Wen Shumu away.
Wen Shumu gave him a deep look, then turned and ran away quickly with Hek.
Watching the slender figure disappear, Ling Suyu opened the spatial button, and a huge, deep blue mecha appeared.
In the dormitory building, several dormitory supervisors on duty had cold sweat dripping from their foreheads, but they still had to put on a calm appearance and tell the children not to panic and to stay with their teachers.
The arrival of Marshal Ling's guards was like a savior, greatly relieving the pressure on the dormitory managers.
Just around the corner outside the welfare home is an underground entrance leading to the shelter, and the dormitory building even has a separate passage connecting to the shelter.
The children had participated in emergency drills before, so they thought it was just another temporary emergency drill. They didn't cry or make a fuss, and obediently followed the teacher. Some of them even hugged their teddy bears.
Cen Zhuyuan was carried back to the dormitory by the guards and rejoined the group of children.
Unlike the other children, he stood in the evacuation line, his steps faltering, clutching the hem of his clothes, silently shedding tears of self-reproach.
Only when she saw the imposing, deep blue mecha outside the window did Cen Zhuyuan's tears stop slightly.
He watched as the enormous humanoid mech took off and disappeared from sight in the blink of an eye.
Uncle Marshal is going to fight monsters like Clarence...
