Born to Be Rebellious [Quick Transmigration]

Ge Xiu: “…”

    He was silent for a while, then slowly asked: “Wait…what?”

    Admiral Drost also knew how absurd this matter sounded.

    He still remembered how his face had contorted in shock and disbelief when Haines made this astounding request.

    Moreover, even in this situation, the other party still did not change his expression—

    as if this dumbfounding request from a second ago did not come out of his own mouth.

    —simply shameless!

    Admiral Drost felt the fire that had built up in his heart showing signs of resurfacing.

    He avoided his son’s gaze a little awkwardly, and continued as if trying to convince himself:

    “I don’t know why Haines made such a request, but the situation was urgent at the time after all, so I had to agree— I, I I have already explained the reasons to General Lester. I know you like that kid Igor, but he had no intention for you after all…Haines Erost is actually not a very bad candidate.”

    The whole room was exceptionally quiet, they could hear only the sound of their breathing.

    Ge Xiu narrowed his eyes carelessly.

    His expression was extremely calm, and the light shining from above his head made his pale skin almost transparent, making his eyes look darker and more unpredictable, just looking at him would make one feel terrified.

    At this moment, Admiral Drost looked downwards, his eyes fell on the foot of the bed, so he didn’t see his son’s unusual appearance.

    He continued speaking dryly:

    “…Haines Erost controls the largest mercenary army in the entire interstellar space and his sphere of influence and ability and means are unmatched even compared to me – although, although he was once one of the most wanted criminals in the Federation, but his assistance and participation in the battle when the Zerg attacked a few years ago has won him honour, and he has been awarded the Hero Medal by the Council, merits and demerits cancel each other…”

    In fact, outstanding contribution in combat was not the main reason for the Council’s decision.

    But under the circumstances at that time, Haines’ power had developed to the point where it could not be touched at all, and the Federation was still in a state of weakness after the war and was in urgent need of outside assistance, so they simply took this opportunity to give each other a step back.

    The federal government rescinded the arrest warrant for Haines.

    And Haines aided the Federation using his forces after the war to finance post-war reconstruction.

    It was essentially a mutually beneficial transaction.

    ——But Iris doesn’t need to know this.

    Admiral Drost sighed deeply, as if he had suddenly aged a few years, and his originally straight back slightly hunched:

    “And… with your current physical condition, I still recommend that you accept this engagement.”

    Omega glands removal surgery was a federal felony, but due to the critical condition of Ge Xiu at that time and the influence of Admiral Drost in the military, the military court finally decided not to pursue it.

    The omega that lost glands will lose the estrus at the same time, subsequently affecting the fertility.

    Even an ordinary alpha would be reluctant to accept such an defective omega, let alone aristocrats.
