Chapter 66 Honor
When they arrived, they ran into Ge Yuan coming out of the general store.
Before Shen Qingqing could be happy, another unfamiliar male stepped out from behind her.
"Didn't I tell you to leave? Why are you back?"
Ge Yuan said helplessly, "I wasted all that mental energy."
"I can't leave you behind!" Shen Qingqing said stubbornly. "We promised to walk together."
"I didn't say that."
Ge Yuan pouted and made way for the tall, cold-faced man behind her.
"Let me introduce you. This is Colonel Nordlin, the one who destroyed our ship before."
However, Nordlin paid no attention to this and simply dismissed the servants who had surrounded them.
"Looks like you're the test subject? Are you that short?"
"Don't be rude!" Saenster said before Shen Qingqing could speak.
Upon seeing Saenster, Nordlin paused for a moment, then pulled a document from his pocket.
"If I remember correctly, you're Tharnster, that wanted criminal with a star rating, right?"
It seems that although he is famous, there are still some people who don't use the internet who don't know him.
Nordlin was somewhat embarrassed that he could only identify people based on documents.
But he's a colonel!
A powerful general personally promoted by Gatana, who accompanied Gatana in conquering half of the country!
Naturally, one cannot lose face in terms of momentum.
So he said, "Since we're already here, let's take everything with us. It'll be a reunion."
Then he reached out to grab Shen Qingqing.
The hum of a sword being drawn echoed between the two men.
Saenster shielded Shen Qingqing tightly behind him in a protective stance.
Seeing how protective he was of a female, Nordlin smiled, a rare occurrence for him. "So she's your little sweetheart! Don't worry, I'm just inviting her to visit the King Star. There's no need to be so nervous."
Nordlin grinned, his words dripping with sarcasm, "You killed the Queen Insect back then, what are you trying to do now? Are you planning to kill the next one?"
In terms of ability, he is no match for Saenster.
But when it comes to verbal sparring, no one can rival him.
Nordlin didn't intend to hold it against him; finding Goyu and the experimental subjects on this planet was a good thing in itself.
It would have been better without Tharnst.
After all, Gatana didn't want to see an enemy who should have died in the war.
"Forget it, let's go."
Unexpectedly, Nordlin suddenly changed his mind.
"What do you mean by this?" Saenster didn't believe he would be so kind as to let him go.
Although he was injured and his body had not fully recovered, it was still not a problem for him to leave with Shen Qingqing.
Moreover, the person in front of them was Gatana's subordinate, their enemy, so they had to be wary.
"What do you mean? It means you don't want to cause trouble."
Nordlin irritably rubbed his hair, making a mess of his short hair. "The fact that you're still alive is the biggest problem. I don't want to fight you right now. I just want to go back and report. So you'd better get out of here and never show your face on Wangxing again."
"I'm not interested in what's going on between you, and I'm not interested in the Queen Insect either, so go away and don't bother me!"
Nordlin was also short-tempered and made his intentions clear, telling him to leave immediately.
"I was born to fight for the Queen of Insects," Saenster declared righteously.
"The Queen is dead! The Zerg have no Queen!" Nordrin was so angry he almost died.
Why can't this person understand insect language?
As expected, the old man's brain just doesn't work.
Just like those idiots in the Elders' Council!
"Since you're not leaving, then I'll leave, okay?"
He waved for the men to grab Shen Qingqing, and then muttered, "Why are you so stubborn? Isn't it better to follow Lord Gatana? You know he really values talent..."
As she spoke, Ge Yuan, who was standing to the side, touched a syringe.
He quickly thrust into Saenster's waist and abdomen when Saenster was off guard.
"You actually...!"
Ge Yuan put away the syringe and said wearily, "I'm just getting better at it through practice. Besides, if I waited for the two of you to finish talking, it would probably take another 10 or 20 years before I could get back to Wangxing."
"Take a nap first. When you wake up, we'll probably be on Wangxing."
Saenster closed his eyes in resentment, and the last thing he saw was Shen Qingqing and Ge Yuan huddled together, whispering something.
"Ge Yuan, is he still alive?"
“Don’t worry, he won’t die,” Ge Yuan said, crossing his legs. “If he couldn’t even withstand a tranquilizer, he wouldn’t be called Saenster.”
"It seems you've remembered what I told you."
Shen Qingqing said, "Of course! But why do we have to knock him unconscious?"
"Because he talks a lot of nonsense, you never know when he might say something wrong."
Whenever the mother insect is mentioned, Saenster acts as if he's going to die.
Sometimes Ge Yuan really wondered if he had a screw loose.
"Well, we can't blame him. After all, those raised by the Elder Council aren't brainless. It's just that he's too stubborn, to an outrageous degree."
Shen Qingqing opened her mouth, but still didn't ask a question.
Ge Yuan saw through her thoughts and said directly, "Say what you want to say. Nordlin is not an outsider."
“I…” Shen Qingqing looked at the tall, muscular man in the cockpit and said uncertainly, “Are you telling the truth? But he’s from Gatana’s side.”
"Don't worry, it's just a dog."
"Ge Yuan!" Nordlin, who had been listening in silence, finally couldn't hold back any longer. "Can't you give me some face?!"
"Can't we just say he's a loyal dog?!"
“Oh, I see,” Ge Yuan admitted her mistake and corrected herself. “He’s a loyal dog, we don’t need to worry about him.”
"So what will we do with Wang Xing when we get there? Put him in jail?" She was referring to the unconscious Saenster.
“Not quite, but he’ll be imprisoned,” Nordlin said.
He had noticed the petite female long ago, but considering himself averse to meddling in other people's business, he ignored her.
Seeing how much Gatana cared about a test subject made him re-evaluate this small, somewhat reserved female.
"Once we arrive at Wangxing, just answer whatever Lord Gatana asks. He values talent and won't do anything to him."
Seeing that things were going well, Ge Yuan took the initiative to walk over and take his large hand, "Oh, as expected of Colonel Nordlin, you handled it so cleanly and efficiently, without any hesitation!"
Seeing their affectionate actions, Shen Qingqing is now beginning to believe what Ge Yuan meant by a loyal dog.
But Nordlin wasn't having any of it, and to Ge Yuan's astonishment, he pushed her away.
"The matter of Saenster has been reported to the lord, but I cannot fully guarantee his outcome. So you two should stay here obediently and wait to return to Wangxing."
"Tsk, use and then throw away." Ge Yuan withdrew her flirtatious gaze, her long hair swirling in an arc.
"Gatana made the biggest profit this time; I didn't get any benefit at all."
Nordlin smiled, walked to her side, lifted her long hair, and whispered in her ear, "Not necessarily, I received an unexpected surprise."
"It is the greatest honor of my life to have you again."
