Chapter 206 The Little Prodigy Gets Dragged Back to Work

That made the process from infection to hatching frighteningly fast.

Morday and Janisa were examples.

Their autopsies showed that the entire process, from being parasitized to the insectoid hatching, had taken twenty days at most.

Early-stage parasitization lasted roughly fifteen days.

Full parasitization plus hatching took around two.

The deep stage in between was painfully brief.

Anyone who could remain in deep parasitization for a long time without crossing into full parasitization was usually a Beta soldier with an exceptional body.

Some were traitors.

Most were victims.

They were still human.

And the Empire they had protected for years had no way to save them.

Harper could not watch soldiers under her command be eaten hollow by insectoids.

She could not watch them choose heroic suicide either.

She knew her words would offend people.

She said them anyway.

Harper Sloane had lived upright all her life. She had never feared making enemies.

“Admiral Sloane, we understand your anger,” Orlan Rockefeller said, stepping in at last.

Helen Rockefeller’s father looked once at Prince Harold’s dark face, then at Orion, who had remained quiet

“Please calm down for now. Everyone should. The White Tower Institute is researching day and night. We can inject the soldiers with anti-insectoid serum first. A method will come.”

“It had better.”

Harper gave a cold laugh, then addressed Orion directly,

“Watch them for me. Your Aunt Harper is busy. Later.”

The connection cut.

Only then did the room turn back toward Orion.

Between Harper’s blunt ferocity and Orion’s calm pressure, they obviously preferred Orion.

As for Orion himself….

While the politicians dodged blame, the experts laid out facts, and Harper opened fire on the entire room. he had been distracted.

Not because he did not care about the meeting.

Through Ruin’s eyes, he had just seen his little prodigy do something impossible again.

Earlier that morning, Julian saw the flood of question marks and ellipses in the class chat, closed his wrist terminal, and went to eat.

He was staying in Orion’s private ward, where everything was complete.

Too complete, in fact.

There were even Orion’s medical records and date of birth.

January 15.

Today was December 15.

Julian tilted his head.

Orion’s birthday was only a month away?

Hmm.

They had hugged.

Kissed.

Marked.

Married.

Their relationship was still secret, but Julian had taken plenty of benefits from Orion

And yes, among rogue cultivators, nine out of ten only took and never gave. That was basic practice.

But Orion was a fool.

For a fool like that, Julian could be a tiny bit generous.

So he picked at his fingers and decided to prepare Ortoy a birthday gift

He took paper and a pen from his storage earring and began to sketch.

“Awoo-”

Ruin squeezed into his arms. Its head popped through the gap between Julian and the small table, staring at

the notebook.

“What should I give him?”

Julian thought for nearly an hour before he settled on the gift.

He had not even started the design drawing when a small, red-eyed cupcake floated into the ward, crying.

Julian: “?”

His heart dropped.

Reality soon proved that his instinct for sensing when work was about to find him was terrifyingly accurate.

“Julian… please, please take a look at Old Mr. Landry. I have no way left. I really have nothing left…”

Anya Bell’s eyes were swollen from crying. He kept sniffling as he followed Julian off the hovercar.

Julian had already heard the situation in his ward.

The old man Anya called Old Mr. Landry had been deeply parasitized.

Despite the casual nickname, the man was a recipient of the Empire’s Silver Star Cross and the head of the Strategic Logistics Support Division of the Second Legion.

During the hundred-year war between humanity and the insectoids, he had coordinated supply lines again and again, supported the front line, and kept the Empire’s war machine running.

An unsung hero.
