41: Chapter 41 The Tragic Female Insect's Nobleman 3
The time he spent with Bo Yisi was too short—only a mere few months.
When he kept the Military Zerg by his side, he felt that Bo Yisi was like a hibiscus flower, possessing an inherent strong will and unyielding spirit, needing only a platform and support to thrive.
Coupled with the fact that the other party wasn't some pitiful Male Protagonist, and his own subtle internal resistance at the time...
...he hadn't put much serious thought or effort into Bo Yisi. Most of the time, he was just going through the motions to fulfill the mission's objectives.
This resulted in him currently not understanding Bo Yisi at all, not to mention not knowing where to start if he wanted to play the emotional card.
And according to 009's narration, the Bo Yisi of eight years later was undoubtedly perfect and flawless.
Plus, there was the persona he had to maintain: the cold and noble His Highness, the Male Zerg.
With all these factors combined, Lu Zhan suddenly felt a sense of frustration and helplessness, like a clever housewife unable to cook without rice.
"By the way, host, 009 suggests you check your light brain. My records show that when the Male Protagonist was conferred the title of Marshal, some past events regarding him were completely dug up and exposed on the starnet. It seems the vast majority of citizens are now denouncing you on the starnet."
Lu Zhan's wandering thoughts were suddenly interrupted by 009's voice.
"Denouncing me? 009, are you mistaken? Did I do anything heinous to the Male Protagonist? I am the Male Protagonist's benefactor, understand? How could they possibly denounce me?"
Even though Lu Zhan was usually very indifferent, he was now completely bewildered and felt a bit irritable.
"Specific information has already been transmitted to the host. I cannot query any more than that. Please open the Small World light brain yourself to check. 009 is going into stealth mode."
After saying this, 009 went silent.
Lu Zhan looked at the information 009 had transmitted and immediately opened his light brain to check.
On the starnet, the praise and adulation for Bo Yisi were unanimous; he had seemingly become the faith and patron saint of all citizens.
But for him, the eldest son of the Carlisle Family, the sentiment was entirely different.
Amidst the many well-founded comments from the citizens, if Lu Zhan hadn't known the plot deeply and stood from a god's-eye perspective, he might have even doubted whether he had been playing the role of a vicious supporting character back then.
"Has everyone seen it? I really didn't expect Marshal Bo Yisi to have been so miserable in the past; we almost missed out on our Empire's patron saint."
"Saw it. At that time, Marshal Bo Yisi had no status or influence. It was clearly that scumbag Male Zerg who drugged him first and then acted improperly towards our Marshal. After being discovered, in order to maintain his dignity as a Male Zerg, he instead framed the Marshal for offending him."
"Exactly. Marshal Bo Yisi was even locked up in the Empire's First Prison at the time and was almost tortured and exiled. My heart aches for the Marshal."
"I heard that fortunately, that scumbag Male Zerg still harbored evil intentions towards the Marshal and brought him to his side, taking him as a concubine, which is how the Marshal escaped punishment."
"I know about this. I heard the Marshal was tortured and toyed with for several months. It wasn't until he got bored that the Marshal found an opportunity to return to the military department."
"And there's something even more shocking. After that scumbag Male Zerg did all that to the Marshal, and the Marshal didn't even do anything to him, he actually gave the Marshal a divorce agreement. This is simply bullying others too much."
"Who is the scumbag Male Zerg?"
"It's that eldest son of the Carlisle Family, Nash Carlisle."
"Kick Nash Carlisle out of the Male Zerg Protection Association. Such a scumbag Male Zerg doesn't deserve it."
"Seconded."
"Please, Empire, severely punish this vicious Male Zerg, Nash Carlisle."
"Seconded."
...
...
The screen was densely packed with comments like the ones above, and they were still increasing frantically.
Lu Zhan felt a bit numb as he watched. He never expected that after working so hard to support the Male Protagonist, in the end, the clown turned out to be himself.
Just then, a bright red statement was pinned to the top.
Empire: Marshal Bo Yisi did indeed have this experience previously, but because the Male Zerg Nash Carlisle had a noble status at the time, while Marshal Bo Yisi was only a commoner Colonel, it was not investigated in detail. This is the Empire's dereliction of duty. The Empire will immediately investigate this matter thoroughly, will definitely clear the Marshal's name, and will severely punish the wrongdoer.
Another one followed right after.
Male Zerg Protection Association: Regarding the matter fed back by the citizens, this Association is already aware. Once the Empire has verified the facts, or after we have contacted Marshal Bo Yisi himself and confirmed the situation, this Association will definitely remove the Male Zerg Nash Carlisle from the Male Zerg Protection Association.
The Carlisle Family, perhaps seeing the severity of the situation, and because Bo Yisi's attitude towards Nash Carlisle had been unclear for eight years, afraid of being implicated, also immediately jumped out and issued a statement.
Carlisle Family: After thorough discussion among Family members, we have decided to strip Nash Carlisle of his surname and expel him from the Carlisle Family. The Carlisle Family does not have such a vicious and despicable Male Zerg.
Once the three statements were released, although they had not yet been verified, Nash Carlisle had already become a street rat that everyone wanted to beat on the starnet.
The contacts in his light brain were also flickering and disappearing one by one, as if they had never known him.
Only his biological father and the Military Zerg Mervyn, who had followed him since childhood, remained firmly on the list. As for Bo Yisi's, it had been deleted by him when he left.
Although his biological father was still on the list, his biological father could no longer help him; his biological father had already died in battle four years ago.
According to the Zerg laws at the time, all of his biological father's assets were transferred to his nominal biological father's name, including Planet Slater where he was currently living.
Later, that nominal biological father soon remarried a female consort and gave birth to a small Male Zerg.
In the past, Lu Zhan was the eldest son of the Carlisle Family and an A-rank Male Zerg. When there were no major faults, even if his relationship with his nominal biological father was not very harmonious, it did not affect his noble status.
But now the situation has changed; when a wall is about to collapse, everyone gives it a push.
The biological father who loved him was dead, his nominal biological father had a new small Male Zerg, and the Carlisle Family had always prioritized interests.
Therefore, Lu Zhan was not surprised by the result of being stripped of his surname and expelled from the Carlisle Family.
In fact, he feared that soon, someone would come to the door to drive him out of this manor.
I have to say, this time it really is a hellish start!
Knock... knock...
"Your Highness, are you okay? Are you alright?"
Mervyn's slightly worried voice interrupted Lu Zhan's thoughts.
"Is that Mervyn? I'm fine. If you have something to say, you can come in."
Lu Zhan composed all his emotions and returned to his usual coldness.
The sound of the door being pushed open reached his ears. Lu Zhan turned to look; it was the same appearance as in his memories. A tall, powerful, and slightly roguish retired Military Zerg.
"Your Highness, the Carlisle Family has sent a message, asking Your Highness to…"
Mervyn looked at the cold, noble, and physically delicate His Highness in front of him; he couldn't bring himself to say those harsh words.
Lu Zhan looked at the Military Zerg in front of him, who was hesitating to speak. In fact, he had already guessed it. It came really fast!
