Marshal, Please Calm Down (MARSHAL)
“Father, are you saying…” As soon as Feng Yan'er heard the words from the head of the Feng family, her eyes lit up, and the pallor of her face was tinged with a hint of excited color.
“Yan'er, you just need to focus on your treatment now. That Wu Zimo, your father will take care of him.” The head of the Feng family raised his hand and affectionately patted Feng Yan'er's shoulder while looking confident.
Her father's demeanor gave Feng Yan'er immense confidence, so she nodded excitedly. Just thinking about how Wu Zimo would be looked down upon and mocked by the guests at his wedding made her uncontrollably thrilled.
“Hehe, Father, I also want to attend that wretched person's wedding. I want to see with my own eyes how that wretched person embarrasses himself on his own wedding day. And Scott Alman, that man actually dared to hurt peacock; I will definitely not let him off!”
“Of course, no problem. So Yan'er, you can rest assured and focus on your treatment. On that day, your father will dress you up beautifully, and then we will happily go watch that kid make a fool of himself.”
“Okay!”
……….
Wu Zimo, who had already returned to the Alman Manor, was unaware that Feng Yan'er was still unwilling to settle down.
Genetics truly is a cruel thing; it was one thing for Feng Yan'er to have a few screws loose, but for her father to also be a bit off was truly exasperating.
What Wu Zimo was even less aware of was that besides the scheming Feng Yan'er, there was also a scumbag he had thrown to the edge of the universe, secretly waiting for his wedding day to arrive.
The capital star of the Federation was bustling, serving as the political center of the interstellar Federation, where various family powers were entrenched.
However, most of those eager to carve out territory on the capital star were emerging forces. Families like the Alman and Xuanyuan, which had a long heritage, generally had their main bases on their private planets.
This was to better manage and develop their affairs because which long-established family didn’t have a few secrets?
Staying on the capital star and under so many watchful eyes, made it extremely difficult to hide secrets.
Of course, for those emerging families, being able to occupy a piece of land on the capital star was something to be proud of; other weaker forces couldn’t even get in.
The Cui family, where Cui Yi was, was one such emerging family that managed to secure a significant territory on the capital star, similar to the Mahos family of Salah and the Turner family of Mocca. However, the latter two families, despite holding a certain status in the capital star hierarchy, had begun to expand outward several generations ago.
The actions of the Mahos and Turner families made the Cui family, which had a bad relationship with both, laugh heartily. At the same time, because of their approach, the Cui family believed that the two families were starting to decline, leading to a loss of decorum when dealing with them.
Especially with the talents Salah from the Mahos family and Mocca from the Turner family in this generation, it made Cui Yi, the somewhat mediocre young master of the Cui family, hate the two even more.
This hatred grew over time, especially after Moca graduated from the First Military Academy and directly joined the Corps, which made Cui Yi believe that Moca had snatched his opportunity.
By the way, Cui Yi placed everyone related to Moca during the academic assessment on his list of hatred. Among them, Wu Zimo, who seemed to play a strategist role, was particularly marked by Cui Yi.
If it weren’t for him, Mocca Turner’s results would definitely not have been so outstanding; it would have been him going to intern with the Corps, and it would have been him joining the Corps, not Mocca!
Incompetent people are always so mysteriously confident. Even without Wu Zimo’s help, with the overall strength of Mocca and his three team members, they could easily crush Cui Yi’s team.
Caught in the crossfire, Wu Zimo, who was being used as a scapegoat, was thus targeted by Cui Yi.
Being able to navigate so skillfully in the Cui family, which was full of various schemes, Cui Yi’s intelligence was certainly not low. When dealing with those who offended him, Cui Yi rarely acted personally because he preferred to use the enemies of his enemies to deal with his enemies.
The saying that an enemy's enemy is a friend, in Cui Yi’s eyes, simply meant that the enemy's enemy was just a pawn he could use.
Borg Fes, the young man who dared to attack Wu Zimo with a quantum beast in public and was ultimately subdued by Caesar, was expelled from the First Military Academy for violating school rules, and his family abandoned him out of fear of offending Marshal Scott Alman, was the pawn Cui Yi planned to use against Wu Zimo.
Seeing Borg Fes, who had been thrown to the roadside in the dark street, Cui Yi’s expression was one of disdain.
As a Young Master of the Fes family, being brought to this state by a useless person was a sign of incompetence. If it weren’t for the fact that this useless person still had some use, he wouldn’t have deigned to personally rescue him from the dark street.
After being rescued from the dark street by Cui Yi, Borg didn’t know if it was due to Cui Yi’s disdainful expression or his words that finally made him change from being abandoned by his family to a state of determination.
Just as Cui Yi said, rather than wallowing in despair and blaming the heavens, it was better to use every means to take revenge and turn oneself into the enemy they are now!
His family abandoned him out of fear of offending Marshal Scott Alman, but ultimately, it was all Wu Zimo’s fault! If it weren’t for him, he would never have offended Scott Alman!
As for Cui Yi, Borg was certainly not foolish; he knew his intentions, but Borg didn’t mind. To take revenge on Wu Zimo, being used by someone else was no problem!
Whether it was due to the support of his hatred or not, Borg worked harder than ever in the military academy. Cui Yi looked at the hatred in Borg’s eyes and nodded in satisfaction.
However, his satisfaction didn’t last long because, soon, a news spread that Wu Zimo was actually a guide and was completely compatible with Marshal Scott Alman and even their wedding date was announced on the star network.
Cui Yi looked at the recent comments on the star network, who all anticipating Marshal Alman’s wedding, with a deep chill in his eyes.
“What on earth is going on?”
When it came to his target for revenge, Cui Yi was accustomed to thoroughly investigating the other party’s information. This young man, Wu Zimo, was clearly just an orphan with no background, and a waste who hadn’t awakened. Being appreciated by Scott Alman was simply a stroke of luck.
But how long had it been? A person who was originally a small character he could manipulate at will had actually become the fiancée of Scott Alman, the commander of the Heaven Wrath Corps, and the heir of the Alman family?!
The Cui family scout who was tailing Wu Zimo could tell from his young master’s expression that he was very angry, so his face turned pale, and he lowered his head in fear and his voice a bit stammering, “Young master, I know my crime! Please punish me.”
Those who followed Cui Yi knew his character; rather than arguing, directly admitting fault was the correct approach.
Sure enough, upon hearing his subordinate’s words, Cui Yi’s eyelids drooped.
“Since you know your crime, go and accept your punishment yourself.”
“Yes, young master!” The subordinate immediately replied upon hearing Cui Yi’s words. Because going to accept punishment himself was much better than being punished by the young master.
After that incompetent subordinate left, a young man who seemed to be a butler stepped forward to bow beside Cui Yi, and whispered, “Young master, how should we deal with Borg Fes?”
Now that Wu Zimo had transformed into Scott Alman’s fiancée, plotting against him could easily provoke the anger of the Alman family.
“Heh, how to deal with it? Who is Borg Fes? I don’t know him.”
Upon hearing the young master’s words, the butler knew what to do, “I will inform Borg Fes that Wu Zimo is a guide and that he will hold a wedding with Marshal Scott Alman in three days.”
Cui Yi didn’t comment on the butler’s words.
Now that Wu Zimo had become Scott Alman’s fiancée, he had to restrain himself. Although the Cui family was powerful, it still couldn’t compare to the Alman family.
Cui Yi was still rational because at least he knew that confronting the Alman family would not yield good results. Only families like the Feng family, which mistakenly believed their long heritage made them noble, would look down on other families.
“What about that Mocca Turner?”
“Not long ago, he achieved merit in the battle against the Zerg and was promoted to the rank of sergeant.” Upon hearing the young master mention Mocca Turner, the butler’s heart skipped a beat, but he still spoke the truth.
Hearing that Mocca’s rank was two levels higher than his, Cui Yi’s expression immediately darkened.
“Contact my father and say that I want to go to the front lines.”
Cui Yi understood that only by fighting on the front lines could he be promoted the fastest. If that Mocca Turner could easily be promoted to sergeant, so could he!
………
As for what was happening far away, Wu Zimo had no idea and didn’t need to know.
Whether it was the brainless father-daughter duo of Feng Yan'er and the head of the Feng family, or Cui Yi, who was petty, or Borg Fes, who would either play a tragic role or an angry role upon learning he was a guide, he didn’t need to concern himself with any of it.
Madam Alman was a doer; not only was his wedding with Scott being prepared meticulously, but even the family gathering didn’t require Wu Zimo’s intervention.
So with nothing to do, Wu Zimo, aside from needing to nod regarding the wedding attire, truly had no other matters to involve himself in.
This afternoon was the time for the family gathering, and Wu Zimo didn’t stay in the research room at the headquarters of the Corps while chatting with the main control system.
Wu Zimo’s chatting wasn’t out of boredom because he discovered that conversing with the main control system would accelerate its evolution process.
Scott also learned about the main control system because he was looked down upon by Wu Zimo. No wonder the main control system evolved so slowly; it had such a careless marshal!
Thus, the main control system evolved from being a brainless fan of the marshal to becoming a fan of our God Mo.
At the headquarters of Heaven Wrath Corps, no matter what Scott was doing or who he encountered, the main control system would inform Wu Zimo immediately.
This artificial intelligence, which loved to report back, was truly something special!
Since there was nothing to be busy with, Wu Zimo took the rare opportunity to sleep in. After having a meal with Scott and tidying up his appearance, Wu Zimo walked with Scott to the castle where the banquet would be held.
Yes, this family gathering was not held in the main fortress but in another sizable castle where the family members attending the gathering and wedding were staying.
