You Actually Guessed Right

Most Male Zergs were foolish, and Capet was a shining example among them. But no matter how foolish he was, he knew he shouldn't provoke Arno any further when a gun was pressed against his head. His back was tight against the wall, a chill spreading through his skin and seeping into his bones. His neck was stiff, and he didn't dare move an inch, only able to maintain that expression of fear and shock.

How dare Arno?

How dare he?!

To press a gun to a Male Zerg's head in front of everyone was a serious crime in The Empire. Capet's legs had already started to tremble uncontrollably, and cold sweat dripped down as he tried his best to avoid the muzzle of his gun. "No... You can't kill me... I'm a Male Zerg... I'm a Male Zerg..."

So what if he was a Male Zerg? They acted wantonly, relying on The Empire's protection, but who knew how long their good days would last. They were like drunkards walking along the edge of an immense cliff, living in a drunken stupor day after day, completely unaware that with just a gentle push, they would instantly fall and be shattered to pieces.

Arno remained expressionless. He simply placed his index finger on the trigger, pressing it firmly against Capet's head as if he would fire without warning in the next second. His voice was low, "You are, of course, a Male Zerg. I have never denied that..."

Most of the Military Females in the corridor saw this scene, but not a single zerg dared to step forward and stop it. Dike and Arno were twins, and at this moment, he could clearly feel the latter's undisguised killing intent. Panicking, he rushed forward and stood in front of Capet. "Brother, please don't shoot!"

This action wasn't necessarily out of any lingering affection for Capet, but if something happened to his Male Master, he, as the Male Monarch, would surely be held responsible.

Dike's face was pale as he gazed at Arno's face, which was so similar to his own. He felt that from the moment he chose to enter politics, their fates had already diverged drastically. He was silent for a moment, glanced at a vase on an antique shelf as if hinting at something, but said, "Lord Chu Sui's disappearance has absolutely nothing to do with my Male Master."

Arno noticed his gaze and followed it, only to find a glass vase. Fedi immediately went over to inspect it. Who would have thought that the vase was fixed and couldn't be picked up. He tried turning it left and right, and with a click, a section of the wall actually recessed, revealing a door.

Fedi said in pleasant surprise, "Major General, we found it!"

Chu Sui had been missing for a full eight hours. No one knew what condition he was in now. He could be alive, or he could be dead, or he could have been tortured until he was covered in wounds and no longer looked human.

Seeing the secret room door open, Arno was the first to rush in. He scanned his surroundings and saw Chu Sui locked in the center with a Power-Suppressing Ring, his head hanging low, making it impossible to tell if he was dead or alive. A long, bloody gash ran across his white shirt where he had been whipped, the torn flesh looking ghastly and jarring.

Fedi hurried forward to unlock the Power-Suppressing Ring. However, Chu Sui had been locked up for so long that he couldn't even stand steadily. He staggered and nearly fell to the ground, but was caught by a pair of steady hands.

"Male Master—"

Arno supported Chu Sui, his fingertips unconsciously tightening. It was only when he truly felt the skin and warmth beneath his palm that his heart seemed to finally settle back into place. At this moment, he couldn't even be bothered with rules of status and respect. He uncontrollably pulled Chu Sui into his arms, his grip so tight it was hard to breathe.

Chu Sui had just escaped death's door. Caught off guard by the hug, he was still a bit dazed. When he realized it was Arno, he felt an inexplicable sense of seeing the light of day again, filled with the relief of surviving a disaster. "You're finally here. Any later and you would've had to collect my corpse."

Arno had never seen Chu Sui in such a wretched state. Hearing his words, he paused slightly, his gaze subconsciously sweeping over the long whip mark on his body. The dark red gash stung his eyes, and he couldn't help but shut them for a moment. Suddenly, he knelt on one knee, his voice low and hoarse. "I'm very sorry. I failed to protect you."

He had failed to protect Chu Sui...

Arno had never seen the other in such a sorry state. He was someone who would hiss in pain just from bumping his hand. He couldn't imagine how Chu Sui had endured that whip lash.

Chu Sui had just said it casually, not expecting Arno to kneel and ask for forgiveness. The sound of his knee hitting the ground was a dull thud, which sounded painful. He grabbed Arno's hand and pulled him up from the ground, suddenly feeling an inexplicable displeasure. "Get up."

No matter how muddled Chu Sui was, he knew this matter wasn't Arno's fault. Right now, he just wanted to kill that bastard Capet.

The military had found Chu Sui in the secret room of Capet's house. Now the evidence was ironclad, and there was no way for him to deny it. Fedi stepped forward and cuffed Capet's hands, saying without much apology, "I'm sorry, you are now suspected of kidnapping Lord Chu Sui. We may have to trouble you to come with us to the Military Department to assist in the investigation."

It was the first time in his life that Capet had been cuffed. His expression was a bit ugly, but he wasn't flustered. He had so many Female Attendants; he could just push one out to be a scapegoat and take most of the blame. As for the rest, he could find a renowned lawyer in the industry to help with the lawsuit, pay a huge amount of compensation, and at worst, he would only be imprisoned for a few months.

Although Chu Sui was a Male Zerg, he wasn't dead, after all, only lightly injured. The judge wouldn't be able to give a heavy sentence.

Capet sneered, "Assisting the investigation is fine, but I demand to see my lawyer. This kidnapping has nothing to do with me. It might have been one of my Female Attendants who wanted to vent my anger for me, so they secretly brought Lord Chu Sui here. I was completely unaware."

Anyway, there were no cameras in the secret room. Chu Sui's testimony alone was not enough to constitute evidence.

Upon hearing this, Capet's group of Female Attendants turned ashen-faced, as if they had long expected this outcome. They were like a pool of stagnant water, unable to stir up the slightest ripple. They were taken away by the soldiers without any resistance. Perhaps for them, spending the rest of their lives in prison was better than being tortured by Capet's side in a living hell.

Alvin stood in the second-floor corridor, watching as the brazenly confident Capet was led away. He unconsciously tightened his grip on the railing, a dark glint quietly flashing in his eyes.

Male Zerg...

Male Zerg...

He chewed on these two words repeatedly in his mind, unable to understand why this kind of stupid creature could step on their heads. The force was so great that the veins on the back of his hand bulged.

The doctor was inside treating Chu Sui's wound. A thick layer of bandages was wrapped around his abdomen. Applying the medicine was inevitably painful, but he was unusually quiet. Seeing this, Arno silently squeezed Chu Sui's hand, his eyes lowered, his thoughts unknown.

If something happened to a Male Zerg, it could only mean his Male Monarch had failed to protect him. This time, with Chu Sui's disappearance, the Male Zerg Protection Association had also come. Coincidentally, it was the same few Female Zergs from last time. The one in the lead wore a pair of black-rimmed glasses and had a serious, old-fashioned face. He seemed to be called Myron. Seeing that Chu Sui's injuries had been bandaged, he stepped forward and bowed. "We are very happy that Your Excellency is safe and sound. We can rest assured now."

Chu Sui already had a bad impression of them and only felt that to be overly attentive for no reason meant they were up to no good. Hearing this, he glanced at them with an unreadable expression and didn't respond, quietly waiting for what came next.

Myron couldn't help but feel awkward. Remembering the lesson from last time, he finally refrained from saying anything in front of Chu Sui. Instead, he looked at Arno. "Major General, regarding this matter, we need to understand the course of events from you. I wonder if it's convenient to find a place to take a statement?"

Hearing this, Fedi subconsciously looked at Arno, worrying inwardly. What good could this bunch from the Male Zerg Protection Association be up to? Take a statement? They probably wanted to take the Major General back and pin the blame on him.

Arno was about to nod when Chu Sui beat him to it, grabbing his wrist and pulling him behind him. He said to Myron with a faint smile, "Want to understand what happened? Shouldn't you be asking me?"

Myron knew he couldn't fool him and had no choice but to say, "Lord Chu Sui, I'm sorry, we are just following procedures. Your accidental disappearance this time means that Major General Arno, as your Male Monarch, failed in his duty to protect you. Logically, he should come back with us for questioning. The Male Zerg Association has an obligation to ensure your safety and prevent such incidents from happening again."

Chu Sui felt this was utter nonsense, and not just any nonsense, but utter and complete nonsense. He kicked a nearby chair, sending it flying. It hit the wall with a loud bang, startling all the zergs present.

"You dare touch him and see what happens!"

Chu Sui was genuinely angry. He felt that these zergs in front of him were not only sick but also quite perverted. Capet, the one who kidnapped him, was just downstairs, yet they insisted on taking the long way around and pinning the blame on Arno. They were all Female Zergs, what was this, killing each other?

Chu Sui's face was stern, his voice chillingly cold. "You want to prevent this from happening again? Simple. Execute that vermin Capet. I believe that whatever you want to know, he will tell you every single detail."

After speaking, he pulled Arno and walked straight away. Seeing this, Myron and the other zergs didn't dare to block his way, and just stood there looking at each other.

Arno was led downstairs by Chu Sui, his wrist aching from the grip, yet not a single trace of resistance rose in his heart. His thoughts even began to drift. Perhaps for many years, so long ago it was when he had just been born, he had never been protected behind someone like this, not even by his Female Father.

Military Females were the most powerful existence in The Empire, and S-class Zerg were as rare as phoenix feathers. So, the first half of their lives was spent learning to protect—protecting The Empire when war came, and protecting their Male Master when the war subsided, even to the point of sacrificing their lives, until the very last drop of their blood was shed.

Male Zergs always liked to abuse Military Females because they were very strong, so strong that they could still have a breath left even after their flesh was gouged out and bones were removed. Even if whipped until their skin was torn and flesh was mangled, they would recover as good as new before long.

But no one knew that when those wounds landed on their bodies, they hurt just the same.

It was close to midnight now. The sky was like an overturned inkstone, leaving only a mass of thick, undissolvable ink. A cold, chilling wind blew against his face, finally restoring some sanity to Chu Sui's furiously burning mind. He stopped in his tracks, his chest still heaving slightly. As if remembering something, he turned to look at Arno. "Without my permission, you are not to go with them."

Seeing him stop, Arno, under the cover of the night, suddenly reached out and hugged Chu Sui. Then, amidst the rustling of leaves, he slowly tightened his arms, closed his eyes, and remained silent for a long time.

Chu Sui thought he was scared. He wanted to say something, but didn't know how. A beat later, he reached out and hugged Arno back, then a bit awkwardly placed his palm on top of his head. A moment later, he finally spoke, "You are my Male Monarch..."

You are my Male Monarch. No one can bully you except me.

As soon as Chu Sui's words fell, he felt Arno's arms around his waist suddenly tighten, the force so great it was hard to breathe. Just as he was about to speak, the other quietly loosened his grip.

Arno looked at Chu Sui quietly, his blue eyes as serene and distant as the ocean. His voice was deep, as if making a vow, "I will definitely not put you in danger again next time."

Chu Sui was about to speak when he suddenly heard a chaotic noise. He looked over and saw that Capet's lawyer hadn't arrived, and he was refusing to go back to the Military Department, making a huge fuss.

Chu Sui silently gritted his teeth, then said to Arno, "Wait for me here."

With that, he walked straight towards Capet, picking up something from the ground along the way, but it was too dark to see clearly.

Capet's reputation was so rotten that no one was willing to take his case. He was secretly fuming, angrily urging his servants to find a lawyer, when the corner of his eye suddenly caught Chu Sui walking towards him. The words on the tip of his tongue suddenly vanished.

Capet didn't want to show his fear, but his trembling voice betrayed his true inner thoughts. "You... What do you want to do?"

Chu Sui had his hands behind his back. He smiled upon hearing the words, "What do you think I want to do?"

Seeing the soldiers guarding beside him, Capet's heart relaxed a little. He figured Chu Sui wouldn't dare to act recklessly and sneered, "What? You still want to hit me?"

"Smack—!"

The moment Capet's words fell, Chu Sui pulled a brick from behind his back and knocked him out. The hard brick cracked and split in two, showing how much force was used. The soldiers at the side were dumbfounded. They subconsciously wanted to step forward and intervene but were frozen in place by a single look from Arno.

Chu Sui let out a long breath, then threw the half-brick in his hand to the ground with a clang. He dusted off his hands. "Damn it, you actually guessed right."
