From BOSS to Canon Fodder: She is Currently Out of Service!

”Do you have any objections?” Huaixi gave him a cold glance, with a repressive mind force field surrounding him. Even though he wasn’t tall yet, the feeling he gave off was quite domineering. ”However, even if you have objections, I won’t consider them...”

Changxi secretly pulled at the corners of his mouth, wanting to laugh but not daring to. Well, how should I put it, Young Master Xi truly is worthy of being the Master’s child. Sometimes, when he acts willfully, it really leaves people feeling helpless. Fortunately, the Master had amassed a considerable fortune before, and there’s also another anonymous account with significant assets. Young Master Xi has the capital to act as willfully as he wants.

When Gu Qidong, fighting on the front lines, learned that a Black Widow representing the Gu Family had completely offended Huaixi, he could only sigh silently. A sudden drastic change, with two young children coming to an unfamiliar environment by themselves and encountering such a foolish Black Widow, their intense reaction is understandable. However, the two children don’t live with the Gu Family. What will happen if they get bullied in the future?

Clearly, Gu Qidong’s concerns were not unfounded. He even contacted his own dad remotely, one of the ten marshals of the Alliance, Gu Zhengye. In terms of temper, this old man is the hardest to please, hoping he doesn’t make life difficult for the children.

Then, even at his age, Gu Qidong got scolded by his dad, ”I know more about this point than you. Go handle your own crappy affairs, just leave the two kids to me, and stop worrying here about things that aren’t your business! Remember not to get yourself killed, the old man has lived for most of his life, and doesn’t want to lose both a son and grandchildren. As for little third’s affairs, we’ll settle it when you return!”

As for the Insect Race, the Gu Family is more alert than anyone. At least the secrets concerning them are no secret to them. Gu Zhengye had heard about that research institute as well, but their family has no interest in that aspect, and now that the clan leader is his only son, he’s happy to not concern himself with anything, checking in and out of work daily, with nothing major to trouble him.

But upon hearing about his grandchildren’s situation, Gu Zhengye felt a stifled breath in his chest, blood boiling, while loudly scolding Gu Qidong! Although Gu Ningxuan followed his dad to Qiming Star very early, his childhood was spent with this grandfather. In other words, among the three grandchildren, Gu Zhengye liked and was closest to this little grandson. But after many years apart, it turned out to be an eternal separation between them!

Gu Ningxuan was exiled from the Gu Family, and Gu Zhengye, upon hearing it, just lazily raised an eyelid. In his view, a man has to endure hardships to grow quickly, and in a few years, Gu Ningxuan will return... But, although he returned, it was as his pair of sons.

In the vast Alliance, there are only ten positions for marshals. Considering Gu Zhengye’s age, he has already passed his prime, beginning to show signs of aging, and for the Alliance, his existence is more like a symbol. But upon hearing that a pair of great-grandchildren had arrived at Ancient Star, even he, usually composed, felt a strange emotion, unsure of how to face these children.

The Human Alliance’s Top Ten Star Systems, with only ten marshal positions. In recent centuries, the Xilena Star System has been teeming with talent, and in just this generation, of the ten marshal positions, three are securely held by those originating from the Xilena Star System lineage, of which Gu Zhengye is one.

”Anything else today?” Gu Zhengye asked his deputy. Even as a marshal with the authority to mobilize one-tenth of the Alliance’s military, in peacetime, it was a very leisurely position, without much to do daily.

Most of the real power is held by the numerous admirals. Relative to a marshal who seems like a mascot, admirals are more aptly titled. Gu Zhengye did not express dissatisfaction regarding this. After all, he was promoted from an admiral, now his marshal salary is a pension. At his current age, going back to the battlefield would probably mean courting death, as these old bones can’t take much trouble anymore... So, when he was an admiral, he would mock his old dad, Gu Molin, as a mascot...

”There is yet another marshal meeting regarding the matter of Qiming Star being besieged by unknown creatures, and several lords seem to have differing views.”

Gu Zhengye snorted with laughter, ”I’m rather curious about how these monsters managed to come out, or what they actually are. Previously, that old fellow Augustus got played by the Jialanluo Clan, sacrificing himself for nothing... Hmph!”
