Withdrawal

(Bonus chapter for the microbacteria expert)

Just as the Lion grabbed Aequus, intending to teach him a lesson, Han Mingxuan opened the door.

What are you doing?

As soon as Han Mingxuan opened the door, he saw Lion El'Jonson lifting Aequus up like a chick, with his other hand already raised, ready to deliver a powerful punch.

Upon seeing Han Mingxuan arrive, Aequus appeared before Han Mingxuan with astonishing speed, and with lightning speed, she lunged forward and grabbed Han Mingxuan's leg in a tiger-like stance.

"Uncle! Uncle! My Uncle! Lion El'Jonson... Lion El'Jonson is bullying me!"

???

"What's with all this crying? Get up and talk to me, what's going on?"

"Uncle, he... he wants to implant Gene-seed in me!"

Implant the First Legion's Gene-seed into Aequus?

"Lion El'Jonson, is this true or false?"

"How could it be fake, Uncle? Look, my wound hasn't even healed yet!"

Aequus turned around, Han Mingxuan saw the wound on his waist.

In fact, Aequus was deliberately preventing the wound from healing.

He wanted to play the victim, he wanted to expose this whole thing, he wanted to make Lion El'Jonson's secret impossible to hide.

Moreover, he had a deeper purpose.

Draw the brothers of the Council of the Long Night from the other Legions.

Just think about it, as the Emperor's eldest son, Lion El'Jonson did something so inhuman. If Curze found out, would he still allow his other brothers to stay in other Legions?

Other Legions might not do this, but it's entirely possible to withdraw them as a precaution.

"That's not all, Uncle! When he saw that the Gene-seed was useless, he actually implanted his stem cells into me!"

"Lion El'Jonson, speak!"

It's Luther.

Upon hearing Luther's voice, Lion El'Jonson slowly turned around, and then everyone saw Lion El'Jonson's current state.

His left eye had a slightly bluish tint.

Seeing Lion El'Jonson's current state, everyone stared at Aequus in shock.

"What are you looking at, Luther? Look again and I'll beat you up too. Lion El'Jonson is ruthless, don't blame me for being unjust."

"Seriously speaking, we're the same generation, and he wants me to be his son? Dream on!"

"Cough cough!"

Suddenly, everyone heard a cough coming from behind them. When they turned around, they saw three Apothecary firmly embedded in the wall.

"What are you coughing for? Cough again, and I'll punch your lungs out! None of you three are going anywhere today. If I don't strip you naked and hang you on the Octagon, I'm not Mordred!"

This time, Luther was truly shocked.

It seems that those three loud noises came from there, but he never expected that it was actually the work of Aequus.

He knew Aequus was strong, but he didn't know Aequus was this strong.

One punch, one Apothecary; and the Apothecary was embedded in the wall.

It's absolutely appalling.

"Alright, Lion El'Jonson, you acted a bit rashly."

"Uncle, I..."

"I don't blame you for this. After all, everyone has seen how excellent the Council of the Long Night is."

"You don't need to feel too guilty. I'll let you know when the next conscription period starts."

"Uncle, here's the book back with you."

"There's no need to be so serious, young man. Keep the book; consider it a gift from me."

"As for what you young people do, I won't get involved. How you explain it to Curze is your business, haha!"

Han Mingxuan and Aequus left with smiles on their faces.

"Lion El'Jonson, have you lost your mind?"

"Luther, Mordred is excellent, exceptionally excellent."

"You think you can just steal what's good enough? Do you even know that in the Council of the Long Night's opinion, the Khan was originally the worst, but now it's you!"

"The Khan is a bandit, and you are a brigand, even more of a bandit than a brigand!"

"I made a deal with Mordred: I'd let him punch me, and he wouldn't tell anyone."

"Did the Father of Night? You need to understand, Aequus is a Gang, Gang don't keep their word!"

"What goes around comes around, doesn't it?" Lion El'Jonson said.

"You're wrong, Lion El'Jonson. For a kid like Aequus, whose bottom line is so flexible it's outrageous, he's not about paying the price eventually; he's about getting out of there."

"Now?"

"Let's wait for news from the Eighth Legion."

At the same time, Evernight Network was in an uproar.

"Holy crap! What is Lion El'Jonson doing?"

"Has this Lion gone mad?"

"Aequus, how are you feeling? Are you alright?"

"Where's the Boss? The Boss, log on quickly! Let's go to the First Legion and settle this!"

Not long after, Curze came online and heard everything Aequus had said. Immediately afterward, he issued an order.

"Everyone return immediately. From today onwards, no member of the Council of the Long Night will remain stationed in any Legion."

"If they ask why, say that there is an irreconcilable conflict with the First Legion, and that this must be done to nip it in the bud."

"Okay!"

"Awesome! Finally, we can go back!"

"Great job, Aequus! You got your money's worth, brothers, we'll remember that."

"I'm already packing my bags, anyone want to go to the Food Street with me?"

"Talos, you're so fast?"

"Of course."

"Then we'd better hurry."

"You bunch of ungrateful wretches! As the Boss, I not only have to approve documents in Terra, but also write books, and you guys are thinking about going back to eat?"

What do you want to eat? We'll bring it for you.

"Shen, you're the only one with a conscience. You packed 10 portions of everything for me; consider it your treat."

"No?"

"Alright, I have to go now. Lion El'Jonson should be here soon, so I'll hang up now."

The Council of the Long Night's actions put all the Legions on edge.

Then, predictably, Lion El'Jonson's phone was bombarded with calls.

"Lion El'Jonson, what exactly did you do?"

"Lion El'Jonson, I need an explanation."

"Lion El'Jonson..."

"Lion El'Jonson..."

"Lion El'Jonson..."

"Lion El'Jonson!"

One phone call after another, filled with complaints and accusations, questions and inquiries, all pointing directly to his secrets, the secrets he least wanted to mention.

"Enough!"

In the communication projection, Lion El'Jonson looked at his dozen or so brothers and finally made a decision.

"I will go to Curze myself and explain this matter. The incident started because of me, and I will do my best to secure the continued presence of the Council of the Long Night's troops in the Legion."

Hopefully.

After leaving those words, the Primarch hung up the communication, and Lion El'Jonson went to find Curze as quickly as possible.

He needs to go back to Terra right now, immediately!

Meanwhile, in Terra's Throne Room.

The Night Haunter in Curze's mind was laughing very happily, even unrestrainedly.

"Haha! Great! Great! Once Lion El'Jonson arrives in Terra, he won't be leaving. Send him to the Military Department immediately!"

Long live the Imperium Secundus!

"Ha ha!"

"Curze, my brother, this is so much fun!"
