"Did you forget why you all get to sit there in peace and point fingers at my people? Who risked his life at the outer battlefield to block those disgusting monsters for you?" No one answered. Calum's voice turned cold in an instant. It sounded like ice that had been frozen for thousands of years. "When you push too far, something gets taken off." He straightened up. His eyes swept across their pale faces one by one. He spoke slowly and clearly. "Handle your own mess. Don't let me find out you tried to stick your claws into the military again. Or I won't mind stepping in and trimming them for you. Did you understand?" Their bodies shook. They nodded repeatedly without thinking. Their foreheads were covered in cold sweat. Calum let out a cold snort. The disdain in his eyes was obvious. …Lucien and Marcus searched the warship with their team for another hour. They still did not find the other Rank 11 Chitinid. "It looked like that one really isn't on this warship anymore." Lucien looked at the massive ship and gave an order. "Bring this warship back." He wanted to take it back and hand it to Corvin. The Chitinid had managed to build this kind of ship before Corvin did. He had no idea what technology they had mastered. They would not be able to figure it out, but Corvin could. Corvin would definitely build something better once he researched it. Marcus had stayed silent ever since Calum showed up. After they returned to their own ship, Lucien finally had a chance to ask once he finished giving instructions. "Marcus, do you have some kind of grudge with Calum?" "No."Marcus shook his head. "I just dislike him. That's all." Lucien looked at him with doubt. "You stopped talking ever since you saw Calum's projection. That didn't look like dislike." With Marcus' personality, this was not how he reacted to someone he disliked. When Calum came up, Marcus slumped on the couch in the break room and did not want to say a single word. "You don't have to tell me if you don't want to." Lucien smiled. "When we get back, I'll ask Emma to talk to you." "Stop." Marcus opened his eyes at once and glared at Lucien. This bird is too annoying. He's even using Ms. Tibarn to threaten me. Marcus looked at Lucien. "I'll tell you, but you can't tell her." Lucien grew even more curious.What kind of issue does he have with Calum that he can't let Emma know? He looked at Marcus and nodded. "I swear. I won't tell Emma." Only then did Marcus speak. His tone sounded frustrated. "I fought Calum once. I lost." Lucien stared at him with shock. "You lost to Calum? When did that happen?" Marcus slumped back down again. His tone was lifeless. "Five years ago. I had just reached Rank 11 and ran into Calum. He kept trying to drag me into his squad. I got annoyed, so I fought him." Back then, Marcus had not even been scared of Drake. He never expected to lose to Calum. "You have the Threefold Backlash. How could you lose to him?" Both of them were Rank 11, but Marcus had the Threefold Backlash. Normally, no one could beat him. Even if Lucien gave everything he had in a fight with Marcus, the most he could do was end up with both of them hurt. Lucien would still be the one hurt more. Marcus sounded even more annoyed. "My ability didn't work on Calum." Calum was even more abnormal than he was. Marcus suddenly opened his eyes again and looked at Lucien. "Didn't people say he went into Beast God Mountain years ago and died inside? How is he alive?" "Calum did go in five years ago. I don't know how he made it out alive." Lucien had only seen Calum again right before leaving for this mission. Marcus suddenly asked him, "Why did Calum go into Beast God Mountain five years ago?" Lucien thought of what Calum did. His mouth twitched a little. "He reached the age when the Beastmate System should match him with a female, but he never got any match info. At the time, people in the Empire and the military said Calum killed too much, so the Beast God refused to match him with a female. Calum got angry. He wanted an explanation, so he went to Beast God Mountain." They all knew he was crazy, but none of them expected him to be this crazy. Marcus rolled his eyes. He let out a slow breath and said three words. "He's not normal." Lucien nodded. "He really isn't." He was the marshal of the Empire, the one who controlled a million troops, the one the Empire depended on. He dropped everything and stormed off. If that wasn't abnormal, what was it? "Your Highness." The adjutant walked in from outside and reported to Lucien with respect. "The higher-ups' target, the female named Dahlia, has been found. Her injuries are too serious. She is in the recovery pod on your ship right now."
