Chapter 77: Zerg 11 Manny

Who is it!

Amoris hurriedly turned around, following the source of the voice, only to see batches of people passing by him. Each of them had a completely natural expression, perfectly blending into the banquet. Where was there anything unusual?

He narrowed his eyes warily, but still couldn’t find anyone suspicious.

“What’s wrong?” Arnold, noticing that Amoris hadn’t kept up, took the initiative to ask.

Even Custer, who was walking at the front, couldn’t help but stop and turn back to look at Amoris.

“No, it’s nothing.” Amoris raised a perfect smile, he shook his head, “I almost bumped into someone.”

“Is that so?” Custer didn’t doubt Amoris’s explanation, “Then be careful, there are too many people here today. It’ll be better up ahead, Amoris, stick close.”

Amoris nodded. The “up ahead” that Custer was talking about was the center of the banquet hall. The current head of the Lanchester family—that is, Custer’s male father—was also there, surrounded by wealthy and influential figures, all of whom were figures in the center of imperial power.

Amoris pretended that nothing had happened and continued to walk forward.

Arnold, standing to the side, slightly lowered his eyes. His red eyes glanced thoughtfully in the direction Amoris had been looking, a dark light flashing in them. Then, he deliberately paused for half a second, waiting for Amoris to walk to his side before continuing to step forward, walking inside with Amoris.

Passing through a long corridor, the view gradually opened up, and even the air became fresher, without the crowded atmosphere of the crowd just now. Only then did Amoris feel a little better.

Based on his guess, the man who had brushed past him just now, no matter what his purpose, must be related to the people from the Noel Colosseum.

Since the other party could shout out the number 683, then he must know his past.

But what exactly did the other party’s words mean?

He can’t escape?

Amoris frowned slightly. In fact, he had never understood, whether in the original plot or now, why the people from the Noel Colosseum insisted on chasing after him so relentlessly.

Is there something on him? Or is there some unknown secret about him?

Or else, does he have some other entanglement with the Noel Colosseum?

Amoris didn’t know anything about this, but he wouldn’t feel fear because of it.

If the other party was plotting something against him, then this test was just the beginning.

If he were frightened first and lost his composure, wouldn’t that be playing right into their hands?

Since that’s the case, he might as well use their plan against them and see what other schemes they have.

Of course, simply being passive was definitely not Amoris’s style. Grasp the clues, actively set traps, and then strike directly at the enemy’s vital points.

The entire banquet hall was very large, enough to see the past glory of the Lanchester family.

Amoris could also feel that there were several people wearing gorgeous clothes, with either dazzling jewelry or layers of handmade lace, their gazes occasionally falling on Amoris, seemingly very curious about his identity.

However, Custer had no intention of introducing Amoris to them.

Arnold was Custer’s guiding insect, and almost everyone had already defaulted that he belonged to the Lanchester family and had become a member of it. On the other hand, Amoris, because of some of Custer’s careful thoughts, was also brought by Custer to the center of the banquet hall.

Here, he met Custer’s male father—Evan Lanchester, and his female father—Kurt.

At the same time that Amoris saw them, Evan and Kurt also noticed Amoris.

The golden hair color and somewhat similar appearance couldn’t help but make Evan and Kurt widen their eyes slightly. The two exchanged a look, a hint of surprise flashing in their eyes.

Amoris naturally didn’t miss this.

Objectively speaking, Custer’s appearance did have similarities with Evan and Kurt, otherwise, he wouldn’t have been mistaken back then.

Everyone in the Lanchester family has beautiful golden hair, either light or dark. In their words, this is the glory that exists in the bloodline, the gold that flows in the blood of every Lanchester family member.

And Amoris also has this characteristic.

The two twins were displayed in front of Evan.

Moreover, compared to Custer, Amoris’s appearance was undoubtedly more outstanding. The light golden hair seemed to have its own light, he was tall and straight, like a medieval knight. Handsome features, sharp jawline, deep eyebrows, just like a sculpture carefully carved by an artist.

How can a firefly compete with the bright moon?

Not to mention his eyes, which were as deep and clear as the sea—

Identical to those of Head of the Evan family.

It’s just that they didn’t have the turbidity and fatigue of the Head of the Evan family after experiencing the world for a long time.

Three similar people looked at each other like this, and for a while, no one took the initiative to speak.

Kurt on the side was also quietly sizing up Amoris, wondering what he was thinking in his heart.

Kurt was a sub-female, he had long black hair, fair complexion, looking like an ice beauty, and blue-gray eyes added a touch of different style to him.

At this time, his eyes hesitated, scanning back and forth between the three.

He and Evan were in a marriage relationship. Kurt, who was born into a noble family, was not valued by the family since he was a sub-female, but the education he should have had was still the same. In the end, he successfully entered the military’s research and development department with his knowledge, and later married the then-male prince of the Lanchester family, who had not yet fallen into decline, that is, the current Evan, and became his female consort.

After the marriage, Evan naturally married other female insects as female servants and female slaves, but this did not affect Kurt’s position. The two put on a harmonious appearance in front of people, but in fact, it was just a cold exchange of interests.

His clever mind allowed him to obtain a smooth first half of his life among the female insects. After all, some female insects are not allowed to go to work by their male masters after marriage. Therefore, at this moment, he cleverly did not speak, but wanted to see Evan’s reaction.

Evan is not only the head of the Lanchester family, but also a member of the council. In the empire, the royal family, the military, and the council jointly check and balance each other, so there is a balanced situation today.

Having been in a high position for a long time, he did not mind releasing his power. He was clearly asking Custer, but his eyes were like cold rays, piercing Amoris, seemingly wanting him to reveal a flaw.

“Custer, who is this?”

Custer did not notice the hidden meaning in Evan’s words. He generously took a step back to the left, revealing Amoris behind him, and stood to his left.

Now the positions of the three people from left to right were Custer, Amoris, and Arnold, with Amoris sandwiched between them.

Custer introduced to Evan: “Male father, this is my classmate, and he is temporarily living in Major General Arnold’s home.”

“Oh?” Evan uttered a word with deep meaning, and curiously and generously divided his gaze on Arnold, “Arnold? What is your relationship?”

“Amoris is my…” Arnold was about to answer when he was interrupted by Amoris.

Amoris stretched out his right hand, slightly stopping Arnold’s movements, then he placed his right hand in front of his chest, bowed slightly, and gave a salute to Evan:

“Good day, Your Excellency Evan.”

There was a gentle smile on the corner of his mouth, like the sun after the rain. His blue eyes, which seemed to be carved from the same mold as Evan’s, looked at him generously, without any of the timidity and panic that Evan had expected.

The proper etiquette and the calm attitude in the face of danger made Evan look at Amoris with a touch of appreciation, but he still did not let down his guard.

Amoris introduced himself: “My name is Amoris, and I come from the K27 star system.”

When he said this, he deliberately paused, smiling and secretly observing Evan’s expression.

Although the five were in the center of the banquet, others were very tactful and did not come to disturb them, so Amoris’s words would not be heard by others.

Sure enough, when he heard the K27 star system, a dark color flashed in Evan’s eyes. It seemed that he also knew what was happening on the K27 star system.

In fact, the K27 star system is far away from the Os star system where Evan and Kurt were attacked by ferocious beasts back then, but near the Os star system, there is a wormhole named Mocha.

The other end of this wormhole is connected to the K27 star system.

The news of the Mocha wormhole is public, but because its spatial existence is unstable, most people avoid it, and even experienced spaceship pilots dare not travel through the Mocha wormhole.

Although Amoris knew his true identity, he had no intention of recognizing the Lanchester family. The current Lanchester family did not have the value of the benefits he wanted. Maybe after recognizing them, he would be treated as a dispensable chess piece, and be subject to others everywhere.

He had seen a lot of old foxes like Evan.

Besides, even if they recognized each other, a male insect that could bring hope to the family, and a beautiful “sub-female”, how would Evan choose? Did he still need to guess?

The answer, of course, was no.

Because, he was also such a person.

Amoris’s mouth pulled out a deeper smile, and a look of disdain and deep malice flashed in his eyes.

If the same situation was placed in front of him, he would also make a choice that was more beneficial to himself.

“Thanks to Major General Arnold, I was rescued some time ago, and I am also grateful to Major General Arnold for his kindness, seeing that I had nowhere to go, he took me in.”

Amoris continued to introduce, he blurred the important information, leaving only some vague flaws, in order to increase the credibility of the words, and leave hooks—

Trying to fish.

Yes, Evan was his fish.

Sure enough, when Evan heard “some time ago,” a thoughtful look appeared in his eyes.

Those who went to that auction were all male insect masters, and those who could enter this auction must have been either rich or noble. According to the Noel Colosseum’s consistent style of doing things, their identities must have been verified.

No relationship can remain constant, only interests can bind them tightly together.

So Amoris believed that Evan, as the head of a noble family, even if he did not go to that auction, he must know some inside information, or the relationship chain behind it.

And “some time ago,” the only major event that had happened was probably the auction.

The sub-female who was the auction item, broke free from the cage and killed six staff members at the auction site.

Even though the news later showed in the military’s announcement that it was done by Amoris leading his subordinates, Evan, as a nobleman, probably wouldn’t know who the real murderer was.

Sure enough, a touch of vigilance appeared in his eyes when he looked at Amoris, and his chaotic and gloomy blue eyes flickered, but he did not expose all of this, but maintained the harmony on the surface.

“So… then Your Excellency is really lucky.” Evan’s expression was unclear, but he still had an appropriate smile on his face.

Kurt and Arnold on the side seemed to have noticed something different from the conversation between the two, but lacking key clues, they were like standing in front of a locked door. There were thousands of keys stacked in front of them, but they had no way of knowing which key could open this door.

“! Amoris, why didn’t you tell me about this?” Custer on the side seemed to be really worried about Amoris’s past. The K27 star system was notoriously chaotic, and he had heard of this, but he never expected that Amoris, who was so outstanding in appearance and no different from a nobleman, actually came from here!

“Calm down, Custer.” Evan lowered his voice slightly, seemingly dissatisfied with Custer’s impulsiveness.

“Sorry, male father.” Custer was slightly ashamed, and lowered his head sullenly in the face of Evan’s accusation.

Evan quickly discovered Custer’s hidden thoughts from Custer’s attitude towards Amoris.

He pondered for a while, and then put his gaze back on Amoris: “You are Custer’s classmate? In that case, you are also from the mecha department?”

Amoris replied with a smile: “Yes, Your Excellency.”

“In that case, you are also destined to be with the Lanchester family.” Evan’s gaze was like some kind of poisonous snake, not knowing what he was planning in his heart, “I happen to have a brooch here, I named it ‘Manny’.”

“Today, I will give it to you as a gift, just as a greeting gift from me on behalf of Custer.”

Amoris lowered his head, accepting Evan’s “kindness” as if he was following good advice.

“My honor, Your Excellency.”

But when he raised his head again, in an instant, the ocean was frozen, leaving only a piece of coldness.

The harshest ice and snow on the extremely cold planet were nothing more than this.

Because, “Manny” means slave in the Colosseum.
