She could hear the reporter’s scheming gears turning from the outer ring. This was a textbook moral blackmail.
Margaret could no longer hold back her irritation at the reporter’s words..
She raised her hand, ready to brush the annoying microphone aside and speak her mind. Just then, a broad palm landed lightly on her shoulder, a clear gesture meant to calm her down.
Cheiron stepped fully in front of Margaret. He looked down at the reporter, and his gray eyes held not a trace of warmth.
He spoke in a steady tone. “You work as a journalist. You ought to do your homework before asking questions. She is the only 38-class female across the entire galaxy. Do you truly want her working in the purification department? Would you risk seeing our galaxy’s rare 3S-class males suffer a complete spiritual power breakdown and lose their lives, all because they can no longer get proper relief?”
The reporter felt overwhelmed by his stern words. Her hand shook while gripping the microphone, and she stumbled over her words for a long moment before managing a reply. “There surely she has free time now and then. It would be fine if she helped a few people now and again..”
Cheiron cut her off sharply, “Purification work for females is far from trivial. It takes a huge toll on one’s energy, especially when treating high-ranking males. You must know the Central Brain matched Ms. Greene with five 3S-class males. Keeping their spiritual power stable already uses every bit of her strength. She has no free time to spare, as you claim.”
His words carried undeniable weight. No matter how eager the reporter was to chase a sensational story, she dared not put the lives of the galaxy’s top warriors at risk. She fell completely silent and awkwardly lowered the microphone.
Even so, she was unwilling to let go of this rare chance to gain massive online attention. People of Margaret and Cheiron’s status rarely appeared in public, and most reporters could not even catch a glimpse of them. She had no intention of leaving empty-handed.
A new thought crossed her mind, and she quickly shifted to another topic. “Mr. Jewett, what do you think of Ms. James, the S-class female? She volunteers regularly at the hospital’s purification department every week.”
This was the media team’s real goal all along. They aimed to build Phoebe’s public image as a kind, selfless
person.
Phoebe had watched Cheiron shield Margaret from the very start, and fierce jealousy twisted her features. She could not understand why a former C-class female-someone abandoned by three partners—now received such careful protection from an outstanding male like Cheiron.
The second she heard her name mentioned, Phoebe instantly adjusted her expression into a soft and gentle look, She walked forward gracefully and smiled politely at Cheiron.
Cheiron did not even look at her. He stuck strictly to official matters as he spoke. “The hospital appreciates Ms. James’ contributions. There is no denying that her work has cased the pain of many males. Still, I need to make one thing clear. Both the hospital and the males receiving treatment have paid her full wages, and often more than the standard rate,”

He paused and faced the live cameras to wrap up his statement. “This pay is rightfully hers for her work. The hospital encourages more females to take on these roles. We are also going through approval procedures to raise the pay for purification staff significantly in the near future.”
His words stripped away Phoebe’s image of selfless charity. He framed her work as standard paid labor, while also highlighting the hospital’s improved benefits for females working in the purification department.
Phoebe’s face flushed pale and red by turns. To save her pride, she put on a solemn, noble expression. “Mr. Jewett, you have misunderstood me. I care nothing for those small credits. I suggest that all females offering purification services here should help the males for free. Our male warriors fight and sacrifice on the front lines to protect our homes. We, females, receive monthly subsidies from the Female Protection Center, so we ought to repay them with no charge.”
A murmur of shock spread through the crowd. Even the reporter holding the microphone froze on the spot. She was an A-class female with a decent income, yet she knew how tough life was for people at the bottom. Phoebe’s suggestion would take away countless people’s main livelihoods.
Cheiron frowned, ready to argue against this ridiculous statement. Margaret could no longer stay quiet. She pushed Cheiron’s arm aside and stepped out from behind him, staring straight at Phoebe.
Margaret’s voice was clear and sharp, carrying easily across the crowd. “It’s easy to make grand speeches when you never have to struggle, isn’t it? Ms. James, do you only read posts that praise you online? Do you know how many low-rank females refresh the job boards on Starnet every single day, just to grab a part- time spot at the purification department? Do you realize the tiny monthly subsidies for C-class and D- class females are not even enough to buy mid-grade nutrient solution?”
Phoebe was caught off guard by the rapid-fire questions. She opened her mouth to argue, but Margaret kept speaking without pause, leaving her no room to reply.
