Conquest of a Certain Lord - Chapter 282：Sirens

The Old Marshal glanced at Jeram and Lady Assai, realizing that Orr’s situation was quite similar to the Empire’s. But the current Orr didn’t have to fear any scheming, so he could only hope that in the future, under his protection, the Empire could once again stand at the top of Asaph Galaxy.

“What are we testing first?” Zhao Xuan led the group to the health center and took off his robe, revealing his sturdy and powerful body. The original Orr’s body looked great, but now, he looked like a carefully chiseled sculpture by God, each bulging muscle concealing destructive force. There was no need to test, just by standing next to him, your intuition would warn you about the danger.

Jeram watched his big brother, whose temperament and bodily features had completely transformed, then he seemed to finally comprehend something. His face paled, his heart shuddered, inwardly telling himself that that was impossible, how could that idiot Orr become the legendary super race? He didn’t have enough brain power, how could he evolve?

But soon, reality crushed his self-consolation. Orr barely touched the spiritual power tester before the machine started groaning in protest, then it exploded. Fortunately, everyone was wearing protective gear, so no one was hurt. This was already the most high-end spiritual power tester, but it still couldn’t bear Orr’s power, like the ocean, his boundless strength went far beyond the military’s expectations. They even had enough reason to suspect that he only needed to use his invisible spiritual power to strike and kill.

The Marshal and company finally experienced how formidable the super race could be. After a moment of silence, they let Orr continue the tests, unsurprisingly, the other equipment couldn’t bear his overwhelming power either, and when the tests were completed, the ground was littered with broken machine parts, and a burning smell permeated the air. How was this a test, this was destruction, the medical experts, who couldn’t even obtain a definite value for data, all exclaimed in their hearts: Strong, unprecedentedly strong! Only the vast universe can possibly stand a chance of accommodating the super race’s berserk power.

Lady Assai gripped her son’s arm to keep from fainting, forcing herself to maintain a calm tone, she asked, “So does this mean Orr has evolved? What level is he? 3S?”

“How can he be 3S?” The Marshal scoffed, under Lady Assai’s desperate gaze, he slowly said, “He’s one of the super race, the first successful evolution of the super race. Orr, the Empire needs your protection in order to maintain peace.”

“Of course, it’s the duty of every soldier to defend the Empire.” Zhao Xuan’s blunt, righteous answer.

The Marshal and company were very pleased, but Jeram and his mother were on the verge of collapse. He really was one of the super race, which meant that in the whole Empire, no, in the whole Asaph Galaxy, no one had the ability to kill Orr, unless he himself didn’t want to live. His appearance changed, his personality changed, what if his nature changed? Did he notice their previous scheming? Will he retaliate? The mother and son felt even more anxious, regretting that they couldn’t travel back in time and stop Kane’s ridiculous plan.

As the saying went, brute force can overpower technique, when a person was powerful enough to reach an unimaginable level, other people simply couldn’t afford to think about ​​resistance. If they’d known about Orr’s successful evolution before, how could they scheme against him? If they could flatter him and cling to him, the power, wealth, status, and prestige that would eventually come to them would be grander than the entire Assai family’s assets. They had no doubt, Orr would become the most powerful person in Asaph Galaxy, his strength would get him there.

“The test is over?” Zhou Yun Sheng reclined on the doorframe, his arms crossed, his casual attitude was a sharp contrast to Jeram and Lady Assai’s shock, and the Marshal and company’s excitement.

“We’re done. Baby, you didn’t even come down to see your husband looking brave and heroic, I’m so let down.” Zhao Xuan strode past and wrapped his arms around his shoulders, searching out a kiss.

Zhou Yun Sheng pushed his face away and smiled, “I don’t have to come look, I’ve personally experienced your power many times already. If the test is over let’s head up, I want to speak to the Marshal about your case.” He pinched his lover’s bulging chest muscles, seeing his eyes darken, and his breath quicken, a cunning light slid over his peach eyes.

Zhao Xuan loved his playful refusal look, he couldn’t help but pull him in for a fierce kiss.

The Marshal naturally wanted to quickly settle Orr’s murder case, but it wasn’t good to disturb the two’s lovey dovey-ness. Overly-sentimental couples were not few in number, but it really was rare to find one this thoroughly gone. The previously handsome and aggressive looking Orr transformed into an octopus in one second, anxious to superglue himself to Joe’s body. Kissing endlessly, pausing for Joe to breathe then kissing him again, like Joe’s lips were the most delicious thing in the world, even if he ate them for a lifetime, it wouldn’t be enough.

Seeing Orr pick the boy up, looking like he was ready the return to their room and continue the battle, the Marshal felt apprehensive, and courageously shouted, “Mr. Zhou, because Phoebe Celayan was a famous figure in Asaph Galaxy, the outside world is currently harshly slandering Orr’s reputation. This matter shouldn’t be delayed, it’s better to resolve it as soon as possible.”

“I think so to. My love, let me down, we have business to attend to first.” Zhou Yun Sheng pushed his fingers through his lover’s hair.

“As far as I’m concerned, eating you is my business, everything else is fluff.” Zhao Xuan put his sweetheart down and muttered into his ear while nibbling it, but he still patiently invited the Marshal and the four Admirals into the study for a long talk. As soon as the group walked away, Jeram and his mother helped each other sit down, their expressions distressed.

They knew the military’s plan, without a doubt, in order to pacify Orr, they would erase the murder case, even if Nan Qing’s fans protested, it would be useless. Orr was currently the pillar of the Empire, whoever went against him would become the enemy of the Empire. Their previous schemes would all go to waste, and Orr might catch on and destroy them. The two called Kane to tell him the news about Orr’s evolution, the other end was silent for a few minutes before saying grimily, “Don’t do anything against Orr again, just try to win him over. Viper’s gang and the prison officer has already been dealt with, and the military board hasn’t started an investigation. As long as we act the same, Orr won’t notice anything.”

The two repeatedly questioned, and learned that Viper and company were killed before the military board could interrogate them, so they finally calmed down.

Zhou Yun Sheng and the Marshal talked for over an hour, after sending the visitors off, he found Jeram and his mother still sitting in the living room, so he walked over.

“You have five minutes to pack up and leave.” He glanced at his watch.

“What?!” Lady Assai shrieked. Who is this man acting as? The owner of Assai estate?

“If I remember correctly, Old Assai specified in his will that you two have to immediately move out of the Assai estate after his death. I’m about to become Orr Assai’s legal mate, if you refuse to follow the will, I have the right to expel you.”

“You want to expel us? Don’t joke! I worked so hard to raise Orr, how could I not have the right to live here? Orr, look at what’s going on, you’re not even married yet and this man is already bullying me and Ram. When your father passed away, you were only 10 years old, if I hadn’t taken care of you and helped you look after the estate, would you even be alive today?” Lady Assai wiped at her overflowing tears.

Zhao Xuan slowly walked out from the kitchen, a cigar dangling from his mouth and a glass of milk in his hand. He handed the boy the glass of milk, warning him that it was hot, then looked at Lady Assai, scoffing, “If my father’s subordinates hadn’t secretly protected me, I’m positive I would’ve been murdered by you in my sleep. You couldn’t openly kill me, so you shipped me off to the barracks when I was 12, and every time I came back, you’d persuade me to select the most dangerous missions, saying that I’ll become a great hero like my father.” He spit out a puff of smoke, and said in an even more mocking tone, “Now look, you wanted me to die an early death like my father, but I really became a hero like him. I worked hard to be promoted to a General before I turned 25, all thanks to your ‘encouragement’.”

Lady Assai almost didn’t dare listen any further. She hadn’t expected Orr’s IQ to also evolve, finally seeing past her previous scheming.

“Big brother, what nonsense are you spouting, mom did what was best for you, how can you say she wanted you to die early?” Jeram complained in a wronged tone.

“You still think I’m the same Orr Assai you can fool so easily?” Zhao Xuan took the time to help his sweetheart wipe the milk stains from the corner of his mouth, then said in a heavy voice, “I received some interesting news while in prison, someone paid 300 million star coins to buy my life. I have the names of those people recorded in my mind. If you don’t get lost, I can just kill you now.” He didn’t want to kill indiscriminately, it would affect his reputation, no one wanted the most powerful person in the Empire to be a tyrant, so it’s best to use legal means.

As soon as he found Nan Qing, he would make all those who once persecuted Orr pay the price.

Jeram could no longer quibble, he pulled his still dazed mother away and desperately fled the Assai estate. They understood, from now on the Assai family would no longer be their shelter, on the contrary, at some unknown time, Orr would deliver a fatal blow to them. Death was scary, but waiting for death was even more terrifying, not to mention, they’d provoked the most powerful man in the whole Asaph Galaxy.

“Pfft, finally gone. Poor pathetic Orr, if I count it, he should’ve been murdered no less than 10 times in his lifetime, it’s a miracle he lived long enough to be swallowed by the Queen.” Zhou Yun Sheng chugged the rest of his milk in one breath, then sighed in pity for that stupidly honest man. He never got to see the true colors of that mother and son before he died, he didn’t know how much the family he loved so much despised him, or how much malice his supposedly closest friends had for him. His life truly was a downright tragedy.

“When he left this world, he felt he’d lived a very happy life, that’s probably the best outcome for him.” Zhao Xuan sucked on his cigar, and blew the smoke into the boy’s mouth, seeing him sputter and cough, he laughed and picked him up, carrying him back to the room.
