The General Loves to Collect Little Red Flowers

Edited by Noks and Wiji

Except for the Empress' mother and son pair who hadn't seen each other for many years, everyone else spoke in a low voice. So when Xu Yao shouted in a loud and angry voice, everyone immediately looked at Aldrich. They saw Aldrich, who had just been talking to Le Feishan, holding his neck with both hands. His face was completely red, and it looked as if he was going to be strangled to death in the next second. General Davis, who was next to him, tried to pull the 'man's hands' away from his son's neck, but found that it useless! He couldn't touch the other person at all! The harder he tried to pull, the higher his son floated, until even he was being pulled up along with his son!

From the second floor, Grand Marshal Koncz saw that his grandson was being choked to death and furiously bellowed, "Xu Yao! What is the meaning of this?"

Emperor Kunta frowned and asked, "General Xu Yao, what did General Aldrich Davis say?"

Xu Yao didn't answer Grand Marshal Koncz's question, but directly responded to Emperor Kunta, "Emperor, just now General Aldrich said that he would wash away my wife's mark and let him serve in their 17th Army. I'm sorry, it becomes hard for me to control my emotions after hearing such a sentence."

Old Davis had actually clearly heard the words that his son had uttered, but he loudly disagreed, "Nonsense! He is sitting so far away from you! You can't possibly have heard what he said!"

Xu Yao obviously didn't let the ghost dressed in a hospital gown put Aldrich down. He said coldly, "I couldn't hear it, but someone else could."

Le Yao was quite surprised at the unexpected event of Aldrich getting strangled. However, his outside appearance showed that he seemed to be a little afraid as he held onto Xu Yao's arm uneasily.

After hearing this, let alone Xu Yao, even Emperor Kunta and Empress got very angry. Emperor Kunta motioned for Xu Yao to release Aldrich first. Seeing that Xu Yao nodded to the scarlet-eyed ghost to convey his order, he then asked calmly, "General Aldrich, can you please explain? What do you mean by washing the mark?"

Aldrich Davis couldn't smother his anger from being strangled, but he didn't dare to ignore the Emperor's words. He wobbled as he stood up and stuttered, "Emperor, he… they have slandered me."

Xu Yao looked at Le Feishan and asked, "Father-in-law, did I slander him?"

Le Feishan was surprised at being called using the 'father-in-law' label, and while he was thinking about what he was going to say, he saw the ghost in the hospital gown look at him with a mocking smile on his lips. Previously, Xu Yao had asked this ghost not to follow them in, so Le Feishan had thought he didn't really follow them in. Who would have known that he would suddenly pop out of the ground and strangle Aldrich! If someone could scare him, that would be Jiang Xinduo's ex-husband! At that time, his affair with Jiang Xinduo had been discovered by this man, and that was why he devised an incident to end this man's life. But now…

Le Feishan had to bite the bullet and said, "No."

Aldrich's eyes immediately widened as he exclaimed, "Le Feishan, don't talk nonsense!"

Le Feishan didn't dare to look at Old Davis and Grand Marshal Koncz. He said, "I haven't said any nonsense. Didn't you come to my house to discuss this last night?" Le Feishan paused, and seemed to be recalling something. Then he told Emperor Kunta, "Emperor, please allow me to use my communicator. I can prove that what I've said isn't a lie."

As per the Emperor's rule, before they entered the Royal Palace, all communicators should be handed over to security, so that they wouldn't be used in the Hall of the Great Moon.

"Yes," authorized the Emperor.

Advisor Mi He quickly asked someone to bring Le Feishan's communicator. Le Feishan then turned on the communicator and selected a recording to play aloud. Everyone could clearly hear a conversation between two people.

"I'm sure that I am the one who has a higher compatibility with Le Yao's genes, not Xu Yao."

"But Le Yao and Xu Yao are married now. And he is already pregnant with children. What's the point of telling this to me now?"

"Of course that's a fact that can't be refuted. Now, Xu Yao has managed to gain an undead army for the Flying Wolf Division in Huaxia with Le Yao's help. It's still a secret to most people, but not to the Davis Family. Don't you think it's a pity that Le Yao's ability is being used for the 12th Army Corps?"

"Do you think I didn't want to bring Le Yao back? But he refused. What can I do?"

"He rejected you only because Xu Yao had already marked him. You know that an Omega becomes naturally dependent on the Alpha that marks him. But marking isn't an absolutely impossible thing to remove. Although the process is very painful, and it will also be troublesome for Le Yao because of the children in his stomach now, as long as you are willing to help me, I don't think it will be a big problem. Think about it. Do you want to let Le Yao stay in the 12th Army, or…"

"You're here today not for me, but for Le Yao, right?"

Laughter sounded from the communicator, as if Aldrich had already determined his plan to be a success.

In an instant, a tall figure leaped over the conference table. This tall figure only needed a couple of strides before he grabbed Aldrich's collar to punch him in the face without thinking, declaring, "You'll die today!"

When Old Davis saw his son being beaten, he naturally wouldn't just sit idly by and ignore it. He grabbed Xu Yao and tried to pull him back. However, he was old while Xu Yao was young and strong, so he couldn't even move him an inch. Xu Yao stuck his elbow out and shoved Old Davis aside, and then slammed his fist into Aldrich's face again.

The dull sound from the collision of flesh and skin echoed in the hall. Every time Xu Yao's fist landed, it became evident that he was punching Aldrich very heavily. Aldrich had already lost several teeth from only two blows!!!

Everyone was clearly aware that this wasn't a proper thing to do at such an event, but no one stopped him anymore, and even Emperor Kunta didn't speak up. In his case, his arm had been caught by the Empress when he was about to open his mouth earlier.

The Empress was also an Omega, so he couldn't sympathize! Of course he knew that the mark could be washed and that an Omega's obedience to his Alpha was natural. But only when this obedience comes from love was there nothing wrong with it. Forcibly washing the mark? How cruel was that!

Grand Marshal Koncz didn't know that such a thing had occurred. He was so angry that he could faint. But he was also afraid of his grandson being crippled. So he turned around and pleaded, "Emperor, Empress, Aldrich is not sensible. I haven't disciplined him properly. But this time, everything happened too coincidentally. It's obvious that someone has intentionally slandered Aldrich."

Emperor Kunta slapped at the table and said angrily, "Intentionally? Is it possible that someone forced him with a gun to his head to say such horrible things? He is so wicked! As a General, he is uncontrollable! It's shameful!"

Grand Marshal Koncz was so incensed that he didn't know what to say anymore. It was mainly because he had never thought that Le Feishan would have the courage to expose them like this! Although Aldrich was a mediocre General, he was still his grandson! Le Feishan dared to pull Aldrich into the water today, so was he not afraid of the backlash from the Davis and the Kang Families?!

Le Feishan's head was stinging in pain. Of course he was afraid of their family getting back at him, but he was even more afraid of losing his life on the spot! He now understood why Xu Yao hadn't let the ghost follow him in at first, it was because he didn't want to arouse his vigilance.

When Xu Yao had beaten Aldrich into a bloody pulp, Emperor Kunta finally ordered, "Enough, General Xu Yao!"

Xu Yao stopped and lowered his head to whisper into Aldrich's ear, "Aldrich, remember my words, if you dare to have any ideas about Le Yao again, I will let you become the first undead soldier of your 17th Army!"

With that, he released Aldrich and walked steadily back to the second floor. He bowed to the Emperor and Empress and said, "Xu Yao has acted recklessly, and asks the Emperor and Empress for punishment."

Emperor Kunta looked at his wife for a moment before he said, "It was reckless, but it's right of you to protect your wife."

The Empress didn't get angry any further.

Emperor Kunta added, "General Davis is wrong and deserves to be punished. Guards! Take him out and lock him up."

Old Davis quickly said, "Emperor, his injury…"

"Call a doctor."

And so, the incident was closed!

Aldrich also wanted to speak, but he couldn't. At least six of his teeth had been knocked out! And his face must have swollen. He didn't dare to touch it. It hurt even to breathe!

Xu Yao didn't look at him. He went straight to Le Yao, stroked his back, and respectfully thanked Emperor Kunta and the Empress, "Thank you for your justice."

Le Yao also said, "Thank you very much, Emperor and Empress."

The Empress hadn't interacted enough with his mother. Upon hearing this, he said, "Thanks for what? Aldrich is too arrogant." Then he looked at Grand Marshal Koncz and said, "Grand Marshal Koncz, your grandson has really impressed me to a whole new level."

Grand Marshal Koncz tried to explain, but he couldn't say anything good. It could be considered that he had lost his face amongst so many people due to his own grandson. He only could say, "I'm ashamed at neglecting his discipline."

Emperor Kunta calmly ordered, "Everyone sit down. General Xu Yao, please continue."

Xu Yao nodded his head slightly and turned to face the others in the conference room. His eyes were cold, as if they were covered in a layer of frost. Couple this with the bright red blood staining his seemingly smiling mouth, a reminder of the bloody incident earlier, made chills run down people's spine.

At this moment, the Hall of The Great Moon was completely silent. Everyone looked at Xu Yao and suddenly understood why this guy was called 'Xu Yan Wang'…

… Too wicked.
