The next day, news broke that Quinn had confessed his feelings to Lia.
Instead of getting angry, Quinn created an account and liked the news article.
He immediately responded on his homepage: Congratulations to those arrogant orcs who have successfully crossed my line. Few orcs can cause trouble under my nose. Remember, you have one hour to escape. The countdown has begun.
[Ahhh, I'm going crazy! I can't wait, haha!]
[Oh dear, looks like some orcs are in trouble. They think they're so important, living in the stars!]
[Looking forward to it! Which unlucky bastard is dreaming about Quinn?!]
Are there any war correspondents reporting from the scene?
Completely unaware of the turmoil outside, Lia started learning the ancient martial art " Rippling Waves, Subtle Steps " again today. He wasn't afraid of falling into the water; his Spiritual Power was so strong that he wouldn't let himself sink.
As she waded across the water, Lia's lips curled into a wide, unrestrained smile that belied her small orcish appearance.
It only takes half a day to fully master it, which is an incredible feat in any era.
The main reason was the use of Breathing Technique, which helped me quickly grasp the key points.

News of the bombing of the home of Kane, the richest man in Central Star, also spread online.
Many people say that Huo Cixiao Quinn of the Huo Family is an absolute madman. They don't believe it, but one day they will.
By the time Kane learned of the news online, he had already begun to flee with his family and subordinates.
The richest man's house is something else; it was bombed for a full ten minutes before it stopped.
Quinn's lips curled into a wide smile, and he went off to chase after someone again.
Ultimately, he captured the richest man at the port.
The Star Police website quickly released a statement alleging that the Cain Family used substandard nutrient solution ingredients to produce the solution.
[Waaaaah, I bought all their stuff, I've got a whole room full!]
[Damn, at first I was just watching the show, but I ended up getting caught up in it myself!]
[Someone tell me this isn't real!]
No wonder I gain weight from eating it! It also makes my skin allergic!
[This unscrupulous business must go out of business! @StarPolice, we demand the Cain Family compensate us for our losses!]
Quinn originally didn't know about this, but unfortunately the Cain Family was courting death. Quinn's men were spread all over Central Star. If you really investigate a family thoroughly, you can get the secrets very quickly.
This matter concerns the people's livelihood, and His Majesty swiftly ordered the closure of all shops operated by the Cain Family.
The Cain Family suffered a devastating blow, all because of his opposition to Quinn. The Cain Family's food safety issues continued to gain traction, becoming a hot topic online within an hour and sparking public outrage.
The orcs began to strongly resist the things the Cain Family sold.
And news about Lia was completely buried.
Quinn was satisfied; only he could see his lover, and he didn't want the orcs online to covet his Lia.
" Bai Ze, have the tech department delete all news about Lia."
Bai Ze nodded. "Boss, are you sure the aristocratic faction might not let this go?"
Now Quinn hesitated again. It wasn't good to keep it hidden; it would be made public sooner or later. What he was most reluctant to do was to let others see his Lia.
Bai Ze said helplessly, "Boss, your wife's looks are so good, she could easily be a top idol. Aren't you going to show her off?"
Quinn frowned, arms crossed, his voice turning somber. "I just don't want anyone coveting my Lia... I know he's beautiful, like a porcelain doll, all white, even his thick eyelashes are platinum blonde..."
After listening to his boss praise his sister-in-law for a full five minutes, Bai Ze couldn't take it anymore and forcefully interrupted, "Boss, as far as I know, your sister-in-law's stepmother's family is no pushover, and they're on a border planet. The news has probably already reached them, and we can't deal with them quickly. They'll definitely react soon."
Quinn frowned, then opened his personal terminal to search for the tribe of Lia's stepmother's family. "They're really united. It's not easy to plant people in this tribe to sow discord."
Bai Ze opened his personal terminal and sent him another document. "Boss, the split forces are easy to deal with; just send someone over to sow discord."
"You're right, I need to avenge Lia as soon as possible."
Quinn recalled when he first met Lia, she was a pitiful little thing who had been abandoned.

When Quinn got home that evening, Lia returned from the backyard. " Quinn, aren't you working overtime tonight?"
As Lia spoke, she walked to the kitchen, took out a book from her spatial storage, glanced at it briefly, and then prepared to cook.
Quinn hugged him from behind. " Lia, I missed you so much."
Lia felt nothing as the heavy body pressed down on him, because his strength had increased.
" Quinn, should we increase security over our manor?"
Quinn paused for a moment, then remembered, " Lia, did you see those surveillance flying balls?"
Lia nodded. "Yes, I saw them, and I even shot them down."
Lia easily broke free from his embrace and pulled out a ball with a hole punched in it by a pebble. "Here, are these all?"
Quinn stood frozen, staring at the balls in Lia's hands. His lips twitched slightly. " Lia, so yesterday's goal was really...?"
"Yeah, I already told you it was me, but you still don't believe me, sigh."
Quinn rubbed his forehead, thinking he must have just not slept well and might be hallucinating, "No, Lia, your constitution..."
"Oh, by the way, I just fixed a Spiritual Power testing device yesterday. I did a physical fitness test myself and got an A+. It's a bit of an old relic, I don't know how accurate it is..."
Quinn opened his mouth but ultimately didn't say a word. He opened his personal terminal and sent a message to Bai Ze: Bring a Spiritual Power detector over.
Lia reached out and patted Quinn's head, forcing a dry laugh. "Actually, I was planning to tell you later, to surprise you, but I think... it seems like I gave you quite a fright yesterday."
Every time the white-haired boy gave him a sincere and adorable smile, Quinn felt his heart begin to flutter; it was so sweet.
"I'm not scared, I'm worried about you, but it's best that you're able to protect yourself now, Lia, that's great..."
After Quinn finished speaking, he wanted to give Lia a bear hug, but Lia was no longer going to hide it.
He could easily push Quinn away with one hand. "I'm going to make dinner now, Quinn, be a good boy."
Quinn was caught off guard and stumbled, hardly believing it was real. Furthermore, a related issue arose: he seemed to be unable to do as he pleased anymore.
Quinn followed Lia around like a shadow, asking, "Do you need me to help?"
"You even know what it means to be an assistant?"
"You just blurted it out?" Quinn scratched his head. "It probably meant he wanted to be your deputy, right?"
Lia's lips curled into a smile. "Hmm... you're right."
