" Lia, my darling, come down for dinner!"
Klein wanted to use his Spiritual Power to remind his son, but just as he was about to unleash it, he remembered his son's possessiveness, so he could only rely on his loud voice to shout.
Her cooking skills have improved a lot recently.
Just then, Quinn returned home from work and smelled the aroma of roasted meat as soon as he opened the door.
But soon, the scent of bitter oranges in the house became strong again because of Quinn's return.
Klein: "... Why are you trying to steal our attention from dinner?"
Quinn snorted, walked straight past his mother, hugged Lia who had just come down, and then showered her with affection.
Klein both amused and exasperated. This little brat was definitely getting revenge for eating dog food for over a hundred years. Indeed, Quinn used to be like an unwanted third wheel in the house.
She and the big tiger basically went everywhere together, while Quinn was either studying or on her way to study.
Quinn was very smart from a young age, knew what he wanted, and never did anything unnecessary. The only thing that made them think Quinn was a child was that Quinn a bad temper.
Few orcs who offend him escape unscathed.
As word spread that Quinn had beaten the orcs, he began to suffer prolonged isolation.
But this didn't bother Quinn much; at an age when others were playing around, he had already published several papers on the Star Network.
Which of those professors wouldn't want to be Quinn's teacher? It would be so prestigious.
Quinn had just come of age, had already made headlines on Star Network with his numerous papers, attracting attention from all walks of life. Compared to his former classmates, who were perhaps still playing the role of bullying other orcs back then.
The Royal Academy, which was originally supposed to take ten years, was compressed into two years by Quinn.
The word "genius" instantly swept across the entire school.
One day you become famous and the whole world knows you.
Bullying? Emotional abuse?
Because of Quinn's achievements, those people were only aware of his accomplishments afterward. They were merely passersby in Quinn's eyes, let alone having their names remembered. That feeling of being insignificant and ordinary was deeply ingrained in the hearts of those people.
Upon graduation, Quinn's Academy of Sciences was officially established, and he secured his first round of funding based on his patents. Electricity was the first major hurdle he overcame.
Five years later, a single air-generating device emerged, offering a bright future to citizens who couldn't afford electricity and were forced to live in the wild.
After a long period of painful reflection, the capitalists finally came to the realization that with the Marshal and Klein around, anyone who dared to obstruct Quinn's path was simply courting death.
Quinn's outstanding contributions also helped Ris were then vying for the throne.
The orcs, who couldn't see at night, once again elevated the esteem of the genius inventor Quinn to an even higher level.
However, Quinn's contributions went far beyond that; the subsequent patents elevated the Academy of Sciences's status in interstellar space.
More than a hundred years later, Quinn's influence had spread throughout the entire Beastman Empire. Many people were worried about the current emperor, fearing that Quinn coveted the throne and would seize it sooner or later.
Klein and Ris were originally half-siblings, but people on the Star Network gradually believed the rumors and were swayed by the narrative.
Therefore, people speculated that the "Big Tiger Marshal" looked like he was being roasted over a fire, and must be extremely anxious inside.
What they didn't expect was that Ris lost her mother at a young age and was closest to her older sister Klein. As for the rumors of discord, they were spread by the princes who lost the struggle for the throne.
The technologically advanced Academy of Sciences of Sciences quickly identified the culprits. The princes, though wealthy, lacked real power and could only flee in terror, eventually disappearing from public view.
This incident also taught netizens on the Star Network a lesson: rumors are not to be believed!

After dinner
Lia finally managed to capture Quinn and take him to the underground training room.
The basement looked quite empty, with only two tables and chairs, and two holographic helmets.
Quinn knew he was in for a beating tonight.
"Be serious. Once you're in there, adjust your skill level to be the same as mine. That way, you won't have to hold back. Don't let me win, or I'll never improve."
Perhaps because of the Fala Family group that morning, Lia's interest in the battle intensified.
He'll start by using his Spiritual Power to fight, and once he reaches 3S or higher, he'll decide to practice using the mecha. After all, [ New Moon ] is almost gathering dust in his hands. It was a gift from Klein's mother, and if he weren't unsure of his abilities, he would have wanted to try it out long ago.
Quinn gazed at Lia's crimson lips, her small mouth opening and closing, her exquisitely sculpted face gradually magnifying before him. Her long, thick, platinum eyelashes fluttered, and it was those black eyes, like deep space, that drew him in once again.
He swallowed hard. Ever since he and his wife had their Spiritual Power Union, his desires seemed to have doubled, and his mind was filled with images of Lia crying and begging for mercy.
Lia put the helmet on Quinn's head. "Stop daydreaming, did you hear what I just said?"
Quinn stopped him from pressing the switch, saying with her eyes closed, "Okay, but first, you can't get angry."
"Why would I be angry? No way! Come on, let's fight!"
11 p. m.
Two hours after the battle ended, Lia still had her back to him.
Quinn was somewhat amused and exasperated. He said, "If you don't want your wife to get angry, you can only take the beating. How can you fight back?"
Lying with his back to her, Lia was fuming. He knew Quinn was powerful, but he hadn't expected Quinn was of the same level, to be even more powerful.
Quinn can dodge any move he makes, and what's more, she even provokes him during the fight! How infuriating!
Completely unaware of Lia's ulterior motives and only wanting to be close to his wife, Quinn hugged the angry baby from behind. He had made similar intimate gestures during battles many times, leading Lia to mistakenly believe it was a provocation!
With a single elbow strike from the Angry Baby, who possesses superhuman strength, Quinn was caught off guard and nearly killed.
Quinn had already been lifted off the bed by the elbow and was clutching his stomach, seemingly in great pain!
Lia: "!!!" Oh no, this is reality! I lost control!
He forgot his anger and quickly got out of bed to ask, "Honey, are you alright? I didn't mean to, I didn't know..."
Seeing Lia's eyes glistening with tears, Quinn's lips curved into a barely perceptible smile as he said, with a mix of bravado and grievance, "Honey, I'm fine. Does your hand hurt?"
Hearing this, Lia felt even more guilty; at a time like this, she was still concerned about whether his hand hurt!
His eyes stung, and he immediately picked up Princess Quinn from the ground. "I was wrong, I shouldn't have been angry. Quinn, your stomach hurts, and it breaks my heart to see you like that."
Quinn, suddenly swept away in a princess carry by his wife, his macho image completely shattered. "???"
He was stunned and almost gave himself away, so he started pretending to have a stomachache again. He awkwardly hooked his arm around Lia's neck, but he overdid it and groaned twice in pain.
Lia sighed with self-reproach and said, "So, so delicate."
Quinn: "..."
