Lu Yan held his arm like they were a loving father and filial son pair and asked in a warm voice, “Father, there are many doubts and disagreements about your decision to replace the heir; why don’t you explain the situation to them personally?”

The old king’s eyes darkened as he stared at him for a few seconds, and Lu Yan struggled to maintain his smile with difficulty.

The old king had long since lost control of his own thoughts, and it was normal for his eyes to be devoid of light.
He had seen him a few times in the past, but for some reason, he felt that his father looked different today.

The old king withdrew his eyes from Lu Yan before facing the public and said in a stern voice, “The truth is that I indeed personally stamped this imperial edict.”

The expression on Lu Yan’s face slackened a little.

After a moment’s pause, the old king continued, “Only, the seal was put on after this unfilial son, Lu Yan, schemed and controlled my consciousness!”

The smile on Lu Yan’s lips disappeared instantly, and he looked at the old king in astonishment.

The old king did not pay him any attention, but faced all the cameras and said, “First of all, I would like to apologize to the public, it was because of my incompetence that I raised such a daring and ungrateful son like Lu Yan!”

“He had a team do research on SSH011, a microscopic creature, put them into my body, and then used their queen mother to control my thoughts and actions.
I never wanted to change the heir, I had decided on Lu Feng as the Crown Prince, and I still abide by that decision!”

Lu Yan looked flustered and said angrily, “What nonsense are you babbling about? You are definitely not my father; you are a disguised alien, right? Is it possible that Lu Feng has made a deal with you and will cooperate with you to annex the Human Empire as long as you disrupt my press conference!”

Only he knew about the research on SSH011, and the antidote was only available to those on his team.
He monitored the drugs strictly every day to make sure no one stole them and used them on the old king.
Before the press conference, he had gone to confirm the situation with the Old King and knew SSH011 still existed in his body, so how could there be a sudden turn of events?

The old king looked at him with disappointment in his eyes and took out the fogy-white miniature creature that was contained in a small transparent bottle from the concealed pouch under his sleeve: “The evidence is right here; you still want to weasel your way out?”

“Lu Yan, I know you’ve always been unstable and have always had bad intentions, but I never thought you’d be so cruel as to harm your own father and try to kill your elder brother! When you started doing underground experiments, your brother and I warned you about it, but not only did you not listen to my advice, you even took advantage of the time I was under your control to create such things right under the palace.
And when something happened, you dared to put all the blame on your brother!”

Lu Yan panicked and looked at the cameras before him.
Countless flashes hit him, but he was still trying to defend himself.
“There is no evidence; you can’t accuse me so falsely!”

“Father, you have always been very biased towards my elder brother, now you want to sacrifice me in an effort to save him when he has done something wrong?”


The old king knew Lu Feng’s character best and naturally knew that he would not do those things, and seeing that Lu Yan still did not know how to repent and even tried to turn black into white, he became so angry that his face turned red and his breathing became slightly unstable.

It was at this time that a commotion came from the entrance of the lobby.

“Who said there was no evidence?” Xie Mingan, dressed in a handsome black and gold military uniform, walked in from outside.
He raised his hand to take off his military cap and looked at Lu Yan with a smirk, adding, while everyone was still in shock, “Since His Highness the Second Prince wants to see the evidence, let’s show him clearly.”

With his command, the imperial edict on the projection screen suddenly changed into other pictures.
Inside were pictures of Lu Yan going in and out of the underground experimental base and the Special Research Department, as well as evidence of him talking to Xu Guizhong and secretly going to identify the dead prisoners being used for experiments.
There were also experiment reports that he had previously destroyed, including all the experiment plans that SSH011 used to control people.
Everything had his signature.

Lu Yan was in shock.
He had destroyed this evidence a long time ago, where did Xie Mingan get these things from?

He looked around the scene and didn’t see Lu Feng.
But now the evidence was overwhelming.
Some of the witnesses he had dealt with were brought to the scene, including Xu Guizhong, who also came forward with a guilty expression and said, “Sorry, I was the one who lied before.”

“His Highness The Second Prince said that His Highness the Crown Prince had died and that he was now the only heir left in the entire empire.
I could only help him with no conscience in order to ensure the continuation of the empire’s governance ……”

At these words, the crowd was in an uproar, even the old king’s expression was a little stunned, “What did you do to your brother?!”

“He is not my brother!” Lu Yan laughed like a lunatic: “You have always praised him, ever since he was a child! He inherited the best talent, and I was always just a green leaf beside him no matter what I did.
I also wanted to inherit the empire and be the crown prince, but I didn’t even have the chance to fight for it!”

The old king said bitterly, “Look at you now and all the things you’ve done, do you think you can fight for it even if you have the opportunity?!”

“This empire was going to be run by you two brothers together, why couldn’t you work with your brother and run the empire together, instead of going through such insidious means? Your brother even thought of giving up his position to you and becoming an assistant.
He has discussed this matter with me a few times in private, but look at the mess you have caused over these years and your scandalous private life… With such an unsteady attitude, do you think I’d feel comfortable leaving the empire in your hands?!”

Lu Yan remained silent with red eyes on the high platform.
He clenched his fist and said, “It’s too late to say anything now, I will not believe what you say! Since you all want to kill me today, to cut off my future, why don’t we all die together!”

As his voice fell, the defense mechanism around the royal palace suddenly activated, and the heavy doors made a loud clang as they closed, causing everyone on the scene to panic.

Only then did everyone notice that Admiral Caesar, who had been staying by Lu Yan’s side, had disappeared?


Admiral Caesar was now the top administrator of the Unification Center, and these defense mechanisms, which were controlled by the military, could only be operated from the top control room there.
The Unification Center had released all its powers to Caesar, who had been guarding the Empire for many years, some time ago.
And it was only now that everyone remembered that Caesar seemed to be on Lu Yan’s side.

Did this mean that Admiral Caesar had also been involved in those things that Lu Yan had done?

Lu Yan laughed, “The Imperial Palace is the highest control center, yet it is also the biggest prison for aliens.”

Not long after the unification center was built, they began to prepare this plan.
Suppose one day the Royal Palace was attacked by aliens, and it was the worst case scenario where all the attacks launched could not be repelled, then all the aliens would be drawn to the palace grounds, and the final defense would be opened to trap them all inside.
The general with the highest authority would enter the control room of the unification center and start the destruction process.

The intensity of this destruction was beyond the power that all the weapons in the empire could bring now, and its explosive power and subsequent effects were enough to destroy the entire main city.

If Lu Yan really went crazy and joined forces with Caesar to activate this procedure, then everyone in the main city would not be able to escape!

Everyone on the field was in a panic, while Wen Yu, far away in the Unification Center, was sitting alone in the control room, in front of the destruction program control panel that could only be activated by the special key he had.

He had mastered all the operations, and if he did it now, the entire Imperial Main City would be destroyed.
The human race would then suffer heavy casualties, the defense mechanism would come to its weakest state, and the alien race could easily wipe out the entire human empire.

He might die in the destruction, but that was also the outcome he was seeking.

The goal he had been seeking for so long was at hand, and by doing so, he had a chance to break free from the shackles of this world.

But why did he hesitate?

Wen Yu sat alone for a long time thinking about it.
His hand wanted to move but kept being held back by another thought that arose in his mind.

What would happen to Gu Xiyu if he failed in his mission? Punishment would be inevitable, and after that, would there be any chance of them seeing each other again? Was it really right to go to such extremes to break free from this prison?

Wen Yu was suddenly a little confused and uncertain, and he even missed the tiger rabbit he had picked up.


To be correct, he was missing the soul underneath the skin of the tiger rabbit.
It was as if he didn’t need to do anything, as long as he stayed by his side and became dependent on him, it would soothe his emotions that he had been unable to stabilize all these years.

After a long silence, Wen Yu slowly extended his hand toward the console.

In the lobby of the palace, everyone was panicking and looking for a way out or praying for peace when a man’s voice suddenly came over the loudspeakers around them.

His voice was calm and familiar, with a reassuring calm: “The palace has been sealed off, and His Highness the Crown Prince and his party have surrounded the palace.
The officers within the lobby should take down Second Prince Lu Yan while there is nowhere for him to escape to.”

The arrogant smile on Lu Yan’s lips disappeared.

He listened to the broadcast with disbelief, and as the men Xie Mingan brought pinned him to the floor, he roared out of control, “Caesar, even you betrayed me!”

“You know how much you’ve done yourself, and if I get caught, it won’t be easy for you either!”

As if hearing his voice, the man’s voice came through the loudspeaker after a long silence, as if there was a light smile in it: “I never belonged to you, so what is the point of betrayal?”

“No one can control me, I – I am only loyal to my lover.”

The turmoil of the press conference was watched by the people of the entire empire via a live broadcast; the rebel Lu Yan was completely taken down, and the ‘dead’ Lu Feng appeared in front of everyone after the defenses were lifted.
The old king came forward with tears in his eyes and hugged him, and all the people breathed a sigh of relief.

Wen Yu did not return to the scene but went straight to the Admiral’s mansion.

The former Caesar or the one in his disguise had indeed done something for Lu Yan.
Now that Lu Yan was being taken away, he would immediately confess to all the things he had done before, but then the identity of Caesar could no longer be used.

He just wanted to go back to Gu Xiyu.
The old king’s recovery was obviously due to Gu Xiyu, but he was not present at the scene, and the tracker in the communicator said he was at the Admiral’s mansion, so he guessed he would have gone back first.

When he went in, he saw no one and no tiger rabbit, only the communicator, which could be taken on and off freely.
It was lying quietly on his desk, with a handwritten letter pressed underneath.


He pursed his lips and stood in front of the desk for a moment before picking up the folded letter and opening it to read its contents.

Gu Xiyu had not written much, just a few sentences, but they were enough to cause a heart attack.

‘’Dear Lord Admiral.

As a prince of the beast race, I only ventured to the human empire to bring an important message to you on behalf of my people.
It is just that after many discussions, you have not shown any intention to compromise or promise to calm down the strife, I am a little sorry and sad, but I also respect your decision.

I was unable to complete my mission for many days, and the people of my clan were very worried about me and came thousands of miles to the main planet to meet me, so I decided to obey the wishes of my people and go back with them to the realm of the beasts.
I am very grateful to the Admiral for his care these days, and I will remember all the time I have spent with you and will keep this rare friendship for a long time to come.

As there is not enough time to say goodbye to you in person, I can only write this letter to you by hand to inform you.
This beautiful communicator must have come in a pair with the one on your hand, I will not take it away from you, and I hope that you will leave it with the right person.
Goodbye; please take good care of your health, and if you don’t mind, you are welcome to come over for my wedding in the future.

Gu Xiyu.’

The name was also stamped with a tiger rabbit paw mark on the side.

Wen Yu’s expression seemed calm, but his hands were shaking as he squeezed the paper.

It was the first time he felt so aggrieved.

When did he have several discussions with Gu Xiyu? Moreover, the ones he could think of were all insincere.
How could he easily change his mind without being offered something that would tempt him?

Wen Yu even laughed at the last sentence.

A wedding?

Gu Xiyu had already touched his body, who else did he want to marry?
