BOSS Transmigrates as a Little Cutie - Chapter 141: Companion Beast
In the Gled family house, Qing Yun was observing the scale in his hands to the sunlight. He has now realized that the Star beast in this world is probably that man’s original body.
Thinking of this, Qing Yun’s gaze fixed on the scale could not help but flash a trace of tenderness. He did not expect that he and that man do not belong to the same space at all. So when he persistently followed him world after world, he was bound to be attacked by the rules of the space he was in.
But even so, that idiot still did not give up looking for him.
The communicator beside him kept ringing, but Qing Yun silently looked at the blue-purple scale and then put it on his lips and gave it a gentle kiss.
If a man saw this scene, he would be thrilled. Because with Qing Yun’s character, even in his most emotional time, he would not be as gentle as this to show his feelings.
Qing Yun put the scale close to his body, took the communicator, and sent a message to Horst, who was distressed beyond measure: “Don’t mind Phil’s actions, but also put out the news I told you.”
After explaining what to do on Horst’s side, Qing Yun also boarded the Gled family’s aircraft and flew to the southernmost forest of the Capital Star.
Phil, who was still on his way, saw the news pushed on the live stream’s page and couldn’t help but reveal a relieved smile.
This news is exactly the scandal of Ilos that he just informed the lead editor he knows well to send out. The headline of the message was extremely provocative, directly linking Ilos to His Majesty’s contract person, almost explicitly mentioning that Ilos would definitely become His Majesty’s contract person, and even more so, saying loudly that Ilos would awaken His Majesty.
This article analyzed the advantages of that waste Ilos. The opening paragraph pointed out that with the background of the Gled family’s status, it was easy for Ilos to win the competition without any effort at all.
This one sentence alone ignited the emotions of most of the viewers.
And then, the author of the article successively showed the various black materials of Ilos, as if listing arguments one by one. However, the final conclusion is not how much of a waste Ilos is, but to praise how hard Ilos is and even called on the audience to support Ilos, who has worked so hard.
On the enlarged page, the action of Ilos falling from the equipment during the final test was made into a gif and played over and over again. Each time he fell, his posture was so ugly, but there was a text underneath saying, “He has worked so hard, we must support him!”
The curious audience who clicked into this post saw this and nearly vomited.
What do you mean by Ilos working hard? Did the rest of the candidates not work hard? There are many people who work harder than Ilos and are stronger than him, okay? However, it is rare to see people who work hard and become ridiculous like Ilos.
The post, which occupied the best spot on the live page, used different sets of words that didn’t make it obvious at first glance that it was intended to blacken Ilos. But every sentence was full of war-inducing words, especially the ones that explicitly praised Ilos’ noble birth but actually implied that Ilos relied on his family background to cheat, making every viewer who clicked on it so angry that they left comments.
[F-ck, I didn’t expect that even the loser Ilos would learn to buy posts. It was through the power of the Gled family, right? What a scheme!]
[No wonder he dared to come to the selection with the title of a waste, so he wanted to rely on his background…… Can he be more shameless?]
[Huh? Someone is whitewashing Ilos? His black materials are not those videos. It’s just him, he can’t be whitewashed.]
[Trash, such a weak chicken still has no self-awareness. I sympathize with the rest of the participants in this competition, except for Ilos. He is to blame!]
A few minutes after this post was sent out, the comment section was already full. Because of its extremely prominent location, the number of readers kept rising.
Almost all the viewers of the selection competition knew that the legendary weakling Ilos was trying to win the selection by relying on the power of the Gled family?
This completely stepped on the bottom line of Edmund’s fans. They have submitted complaints to the council, wanting to disqualify Ilos from the competition.
There was even an adjutant who had been working under His Majesty Edmund. He was so angry after seeing this article that he not only submitted a letter of complaint to the council but also, with his aging body, denounced Ilos on the star network for having a bad heart and always thinking of evil ways, which is why he could only hold the title of a waste!
As too many people were concerned about this matter, the council had to respond, saying that the selection contest was absolutely fair, only assessing personal ability and affinity with His Majesty and that participants of any background would be on the same starting line. And the council also stressed that the whole process of the competition would be streamed out live, so viewers should not worry about any cheating.
Even the chief prosecutor of the Empire, Ilos’ father, Villef, personally came forward to explain that both Ilos and Phil had participated in the selection competition of their own free will and had nothing to do with the Gled family.
This slowly calmed the agitated audience, but since the council did not deny Ilos the right to participate, people’s attention to this post was still great.
Qing Yun sat on the aircraft, quietly flipping through the post. He glanced at the comments below and even laughed out loud as he looked at them.
In front, the pilot of the aircraft looked at him like he was a ghost.
Qing Yun is not worried that the council will really cancel his place. Even if he wants to cancel it, the Gled family’s head, Villef, will not agree. It’s not because of how much he loves his son Ilos, but if Ilos’s place is canceled because of the audience’s request, then isn’t it an indirect admission that the Gled family is really helping Ilos cheat?
So Villef will never allow Ilos to withdraw from the competition. Still, the Gled family head is probably hoping that his loser son will lose in the selection round, preferably just go in and be scared by some beast to teleport out. This will completely prove that the Gled family did not do anything for Ilos.
Qing Yun hooked the corners of his mouth and swiped through the comments below one by one. He couldn’t help but narrow his eyes when he saw that the latest comment actually mentioned Phil. The pure sea-blue eyes of Ilos were like the eyes of a feline in a hunting state at the moment, full of cruelty and teasing of the prey.
Thanks to the guidance of a thoughtful person, someone slowly mentioned Phil.
At first, it was just to praise Phil. Although he came from the same family as Ilos, they were a world apart. Phil is well-known in the field of art at a young age, while Ilos is useless.
And in this competition, Ilos went to the trouble of buying posts to clear his name. Compared to Phil, this was a disgrace to the Gled family.
But then someone suddenly mentioned that Phil seemed to already have his own companion beast and was by definition not eligible to participate in the competition.
In order to support his words, this person also sent a photo, which happened to be a picture of Phil teasing a cat.
Although no one believed what this source said, the comment was slowly raised because it involved Phil, one of the more popular participants in this selection. It happened to get stuck in the first of the popular comments.
It didn’t attract much attention, and it was just a picture of Phil and a cat, which is intimate but not proof that this is Phil’s companion beast, so the audience didn’t care too much.
However, Mrs. Gled has been following the movement of this post and even went so far as to open a small account to slander Ilos herself. When she first saw this photo, she could not sit still.
In a panic, she clarified this “rumor” in the name of the Gled family. However, this action directly pushed Phil into the forefront, and this comment was also topped. In the comment section of the selection, there was a special thread to discuss whether Phil had a companion beast or not.
Phil, who arrived at the competition site, took a look at the state of affairs and immediately complained in his heart about his mother and how he had coincidentally helped out.
But he was still mentally strong and did not show any hints on the surface at all.
In a short time, Qing Yun also arrived at the outskirts of the forest using the Gled family’s aircraft.
Although there were still a few hours before the start of the competition, most of the candidates were already there at the outskirts of the forest.
These people had no companion beasts around them, presenting a clear difference from the staff and military people around the venue. After Qing Yun arrived at the venue, a slight glance was enough to know why only Ilos was attacked in this way when the same people were all without companion beasts.
Because these people who did not have companion beasts but still survived and even managed to come to this forest to compete, all have a bit of fortitude honed by life between their brows.
Unlike Ilos, who was born into one of the most prominent families on the Capital Star and enjoyed the glory and wealth that ordinary people dream of, but did not have the corresponding ability to support all he had been given. This, coupled with the deliberate slander of Mrs. Gled, has contributed to Ilos’ reputation today.
Now, the participants present also perceived the arrival of Ilos, and their attitude towards Ilos was clearly divided into two factions. Some of them do not resent Ilos but rather carry some sympathy because they empathize with his experience, while others are most uncomfortable with the background behind Ilos, which makes them feel incredibly inferior.
Qing Yun ignored all the various gazes around him and did not think of whitewashing Ilos. The strongest are the most respected in this world. Strength is the best explanation. What do other people’s opinions and evaluations have to do with him?
Phil, who was chatting with the rest of the candidates around him, also noticed Ilos, who was staying in the corner. He thought about the photo on the star network and suddenly had a plan come to mind.
Phil looked over at Ilos and angrily walked towards him. His expression was stern enough, and he was walking in the direction of Ilos, immediately drawing the attention of everyone present.
The reporters on the field immediately manipulated the cameras and turned them toward the two half-brothers.
Looking at Phil’s expression that doesn’t seem to be fake, the people around talked about it, because Phil’s performance outside has always been mild and quiet. He has never shown such an angry look like now.
That’s why Phil’s participation in this selection surprised many people who knew his character, and Andrea’s fans were constantly attacking him because they thought Phil was too soft.
Now that Phil’s eyes were full of anger, the participants who watched him walk over to Ilos couldn’t help but wonder what was happening with the brothers. Was Phil going to reprimand Ilos on the spot for buying a post?
The reporters then caught a whiff of the topic, and the cameras followed Phil closely.
Phil walked up to Ilos and questioned him as if he couldn’t contain his anger: “Ilos, why did you deliberately smear me on the star network!”
Hearing Phil’s words, a reporter who followed him immediately sighed in his heart, could there really be something? Phil said that Ilos had discredited him. Could it be that the rumors on the star network about Phil having a companion beast were released by Ilos?
Alas, dying once makes such a difference. The originally silent Ilos has learned not only to buy posts but also to smear his half-brother on the star network?
“Don’t you dare try to defend yourself Ilos! The scene in that picture was clearly at home. You should have known in the first place that I only tried to make a match with that cat-type companion beast and did not end up contracting it, so why are you bringing such things out to smear me?” Phil made it clear in one breath.
The surrounding participants were suddenly stirred up, looking at the two brothers and talking about them.
Qing Yun raised his eyebrows and looked at Phil before him, not expecting that he would guess the truth by mistake. In fact, how could Phil think that this matter was really done by Ilos? In Phil’s heart, his waste second brother has always been a fool and simply did not have the brains to make such things.
“What is the truth, you know best in your heart, don’t you?” Qing Yun’s gaze swept over Phil’s waist. Under the cover of the artificial dressing, the tail of the cat-shaped scar behind Phil had swept up to his waist.
Therefore, feeling Qing Yun’s gaze, Phil’s entire body could not help but stiffen.
“Anyway, Ilos, you should stop doing unnecessary things. Even if we stand on the field, we have to compete fairly, don’t we? Otherwise, you will make it difficult for father.”
After saying that, Phil simply left. In the eyes of others, it was obvious that as a younger brother, he was tolerant of his brother.
The confrontation between the two was almost immediately spread to the star network.
Phil’s righteous behavior immediately cleared up the rumors. Everyone thought that if Phil really had a companion beast, he would not talk about it again in public.
Because of his strong language and appearance, Andrea’s fans even appreciated Phil for a while.
However, in contrast, Ilos, who not only buys posts but also deliberately smears his brother on the star network, has been given the name of a scheming bitch following the reputation of a waste.
After witnessing the confrontation between Phil and Ilos, the participants present, even those who were slightly sympathetic to Ilos at first, gradually had indifference flashing in their eyes.
On the periphery of the venue, a staff member, who was obviously quite young, had swung past Qing Yun’s side for the third time.
The janitor, who was responsible for the sanitation of the field, groped his body left and right, before finally touching a tiny bottle containing a liquid in an inconspicuous pocket. He obtained this bottle by chance, and the liquid it contained could dissolve most of the world’s artificial dressings.
The young man was surveying the bottle in his hand when the communicator on his body suddenly vibrated. This young man immediately hid behind a giant tree and connected to the communicator.
“Yi Rui, how is your side?” Horst’s voice came from the communicator.
Yi Rui shook the bottle in his hand and said, “Ready, I have what Boss Ilos needs on my side, just waiting for the right moment.”
On the other side, Andrea pulled Phil over. He first looked down at the bracelet on Phil’s hand before smiling at Phil and saying, “Are you okay? The game is about to start, are you nervous?”
Hearing his beloved’s concern, Phil threw himself directly into Andrea’s arms happily: “Not nervous at all. I know you’ll be out there protecting me!”
Andrea caressed his beloved’s back with his palm again, and with his light patting motion, some powder got on Phil’s clothes. Andrea softly soothed Phil while observing Ilos in another corner.
What Andrea sprinkled on Phil was the most hated drug of the 3S-grade ferocious beast, the blazing red-tailed boa.
Since the day the task was released, no matter how Andrea called out, the system never appeared again, which could not help but make him extremely anxious. He even had a keen feeling that perhaps the task of killing Ilos was far more important than letting Phil contract the Star beast.
That’s why he decided to let Ilos, the waste, die “accidentally” in this selection. The 3S-grade beast has been living in this part of the Capital Star. This time, because the selection is held here, the military spent a great deal of effort to inject this 3S-grade beast with anesthetics and put it to sleep.
But no one can be sure that this 3S grade beast won’t wake up, can they?
Andrea thought about it and then instructed Phil: “During the game, try to stay away from Ilos, okay? I am afraid he will hurt you. And that Mona, you can moderately befriend him, I have some friendship with him.”
