I Inherited an Empire with a Fake Pregnancy

Chapter 81

Soldiers ran outside immediately.

“Cory, I’ll leave you in charge.” Raymond said.

“Yes!”

Cory commanded two soldiers to carry the hyena off the ground.

“Marshal, don’t spies need to be interrogated?” An old general frowned and asked.

Raymond answered, “No, I have already narrowed down who has been acting behind the scenes. Let’s talk about it during the meeting. Keep an eye on your energy liquids. It would be best to store them in your space buttons and carry them around with you.” 

The space inside the space button was not actually that large, just about one square meter. Beastmen would usually only place some daily necessities and a whole box of energy liquid. After that, there would almost be no space left.

Therefore, most beastmen usually only had a box of energy liquids and the rest were kept elsewhere.

“Go and move all your energy liquids here. Let me see if there are any problems.” Sitting behind the desk, the Marshal’s wife, who only showed his head and shoulders, said suddenly,

The generals were taken aback and stared at each other.

They respected the Madam but that was only because the other party was their marshal’s partner.

As soldiers, they only obey the orders of their superiors, not the orders of their families.

Although the Toxin Cleansing Pill formula research and development personnel included the name Jin WoWo, almost everyone in the empire believed that it was because the Marshal invested 3 billion in the Toxin Cleansing Pill’s development. 

Furthermore, the type of the energy liquid could only be detected by a special instrument. They didn’t think it was possible for the Marshal’s partner to recognize it at a glance.

So, none of the generals present moved.

Cory glanced at everyone, feeling an inexplicable sense of superiority.

These guys didn’t move now. But when they find out just how amazing their Madam is, Cory didn’t know just how fast they would run.

Cory noticed two empty injections of No. 2 energy liquid were pressed under the hyena’s body. Others didn’t know that injecting other types of energy liquid would lead to an energy explosion, but he remembered Jin WoWo mentioning it before.

Therefore, the spy’s current state was caused by Jin WoWo’s No. 2 energy liquid instead of being beaten up by the Marshal.

As soon as the soldier lifted the hyena, Cory collected the two empty injections into his own space button. He couldn’t let the other generals see it; otherwise, only a chaotic show filled with problems would be left.

Among the generals, there are a few generals who usually like to rely on their seniority. They would preach for a long time regardless if it was a small insignificant mistake.

It would actually be exciting to see them frustrated in front of Jin WoWo.

Cory, who walked to the door, turned around and asked, “What are you doing in a daze? Madam, who specializes in this aspect and helped create the Toxin Cleansing Pill will be checking your energy liquids. We should move faster, instead of just letting the minutes pass on.”

An old general turned his head, glanced at Cory disapprovingly, and opened his mouth to preach.

Cory chuckled and rushed out the door before the other party could speak.

“Go and bring your energy liquid over.” Raymond ordered.

In the past, he didn’t want to expose Jin WoWo’s ability because it was too unique, afraid that he would not be able to protect his beloved.

But now that the Toxin Cleansing Pill Vein Clearing Liquid exists, the other military legions and the empire’s major families strive to curry favor with the third military legion.

Jin WoWo’s ability could not be hidden for a lifetime. Now is the time for him to show a little bit of his ability.

Obtaining “identity” in the empire would be his safest guarantee.

This “identity” of course does not refer to being a citizen in the empire  nor is it as the Marshal’s partner. Rather, it is a true individual identity that everyone respects.

With this layer of identity as a protection, people who want to move against Jin WoWo will have to weigh the consequences of his reputation.

This process starts with his Third Military Legion.

“Marshal.” The old general who was about to preach called out. “Energy liquid can only be identified by a special instrument. If people can tell what it is at a glance then what use is the instrument for?”

Although this old general is strong and a veteran, his personality is very arrogant and stubborn. Once he has locked onto a specific idea, he will insist on it even if his opinion is against those of his superiors. He won’t waver easily.

Raymond understood the other’s temper and said in a calm tone, “The instrument can only test the energy liquids one by one. It will take too long to test everyone’s.”

The cost of this high-precision instrument is very expensive. Currently, only one is left in the headquarters and it’s stationed in the logistics and support department.

The old general still stubbornly said, “It’s okay. I don’t think it is too slow. I feel more assured by testing the energy liquid using the instrument. My energy liquid will be tested by the logistics department.”

Raymond was not annoyed and nodded understandingly. “What about the others?”

“I’m going to bring my energy liquid over,” said a young officer.

Later, several officers also said they’ll bring their energy liquid over. Anyway, they won’t be losing anything by letting the Marshal’s partner look at their energy liquid. Why not give the Marshal this face? [STOPPED HERE]

A group of officers went out to move their energy liquid, and only a few old, stubborn officers remained in the office, waiting for the Marshal’s next instructions.

However, the Marshal didn’t give any instructions nor did he say they were allowed to go. The old officers could only stand there, watching the Marshal stare at his partner for a long time.

Raymond was indeed staring at Jin WoWo; specifically, he was staring at Jin WoWo’s forehead.

As usual, Jin WoWo’s drooping bangs covered his forehead, until his eyebrows.

In the past, the snail shell pattern between the eyebrows of Jin WoWo could be vaguely seen from the gap of his bangs. But now, there seems to be…

Seeing that Raymond had been staring at him, Jin WoWo asked, “What’s the matter?”

Raymond walked over, furrowed his brows slightly, and held the back of the chair with one hand, his entire upper body covering Jin WoWo’s whole person through his shadow.

Jin WoWo: “…”

What is he going to do?

There were still so many people in the room, but he couldn’t push Raymond away either.

So instead, Jin WoWo looked up at Raymond, squinted, and smiled.

As soon as Jin WoWo raised his head, the broken hair on his forehead slid down a bit to the sides, revealing the position between his eyebrows.

It was as clean as jade and empty!

Raymond stretched out his hand and gently touched the spot where there was once a snail shell pattern.

“Here… no more,” he said with his lips.

“What?” Jin WoWo also asked with his mouth, raising his hand to touch it in that position.

Jin WoWo didn’t feel anything. The surface was just as smooth as when he had the pattern.Raymond said, “The pattern is gone.”

Jin WoWo: “Huh?”

He kept touching his forehead as he tried  to look for a mirror.

But there was no mirror, and Raymond’s space button did not keep things such as mirrors.

Jin WoWo had an idea. He grabbed Raymond by the neckline, drew him closer to him, and then looked at his image in the other’s pupils.

In Raymond’s dark green pupils, a very small head of a small person appeared. Jin WoWo was very close; he parted his hair and stared at his reflection in Raymond’s eyes.

Although it wasn’t very clear, he could still see that his forehead really was smooth and clean.

Jin WoWo was happy for a while and couldn’t help taking a few excited breaths.

What happened when he snapped and beat the scheming hyena up? It really turned out to be a good thing?

On the other hand, Raymond felt tangled.

Everyone thinks that Jin WoWo was “pregnant”, “had a miscarriage”, and that the snail shell pattern on Jin WoWo’s forehead was actually his snake-shaped pattern.

And now, this pattern is gone…

The two of them were happy or tangled at the sudden disappearance of the pattern on Jin WoWo’s forehead.

The few old officers who stayed in the office were embarrassed.

Marshal, can you and your partner be more aware?

These old guys were still here. Why can’t you help but make a bunch of ambiguous sounds to your partner like this and that?

They were all very old. They are really uncomfortable with the public display of affection between young partners, regardless of the occasion. They couldn’t leave either so they could only glance away with stinky faces and have some opinions about the Marshal’s partner in their hearts.

“Report! “The energy liquid is here!”

A young officer who was standing at the door called, holding a large box of energy liquid.

Raymond raised his hand, quickly pulled Jin WoWo’s hair down, and covered his forehead. When he confirmed that nothing was showing, he straightened his body and shouted, “Bring them in.”

The young officer touched his nose, pretending he didn’t see anything before gently placing the energy liquid on the Marshal’s desk.

“Open the box and take out the energy liquids.” Raymond ordered.

“Yes!”

The young officer opened the box neatly, and took out the injections one by one.

Jin WoWo glanced at them. They were all yellow injections. 

“It’s all okay; take it away.” Jin WoWo said.

The officer was taken aback. That’s it?

It was really just a glance.

He previously thought that the Marshal’s partner would take it out for inspection. After all, it was absolutely impossible to distinguish the different energy types with just the naked eye.

But the young officer’s life was peaceful and precious. So, he smiled and said, “I’m relieved if there is no problem. You can also take a look at the last box.”

The young officer opened the last box of energy liquid when Jin WoWo frowned slightly and stretched out his hand to take a red injection from the box full of golden injections.

It’s fire energy.

As far as Jin WoWo knew, people in this world didn’t understand the concept of mutual generation and mutual restraint among the relationships of the five elements. But in the few cases he encountered, the properties of the energy liquid that were mixed in would have the restraining relationship.

Is it true that the people behind the scenes also understand that the five elements grow and restrain each other?

“There is a problem with this?” Raymond asked.

Jin WoWo nodded and said, “This is a No. 4 energy liquid.”

Raymond frowned when he heard Jin WoWo’s words. Raymond looked solemn as he took and inspected the energy liquid from Jin WoWo’s hands. The outer packaging of the injection was marked with Energy Liquid No. 1 label, making it look no different from the rest of the energy liquids in the box.

Hearing Jin WoWo, the officer too was surprised and asked “This is a No. 4 energy liquid?”

How can that be?

His box of energy liquid was brought back from the logistics department yesterday and immediately kept in his own space button. It was only taken out just now. During this period, no one had touched it. How could it have been tampered with?

Besides, he was just a colonel. He was not particularly valued by the Marshal. Even if there were “worms” who secretly tampered with the energy liquid, they wouldn’t have replaced his, right?

Several old generals also came over after hearing the exchange. They, too, inspected the energy liquid. Although they didn’t say anything, their expressions were obviously dismissive of Jin WoWo’s words.

“Take it, and then go to the Logistics Department to check if it is No. 4 Energy Liquid.” Raymond said.

Later, several officers also brought their energy liquid over and then took out the boxes one by one and opened them.

Jin WoWo just glanced at the contents and felt odd.

Among the officers who brought their energy liquids, each had one or two injections that were tampered with.

These were all capable officers under Raymond. The person acting behind the scenes must have the intention of destroying the Third Military Legion!

Hearing the results, Raymond’s face became more and more ugly.

Turns out, even after he cleaned the Third Military Legion up, there were still a few “worms” that escaped. Else, it would be impossible to tamper with so many officers’ energy liquids in such a short time.

The energy liquids of these officers were only recently received from the Logistics Department. Other than the logistics department, there was no one else who had access to his officers’ energy liquids.

As for his energy liquid, he personally got it from the energy shop. The person behind the scenes had no chance to tamper with it, so a spy was to replace it.

“Bring the problematic energy liquids. We’re heading to the logistics department now.”

Everyone stored their energy liquids into the space button and took the problematic energy liquid picked out by the Jin WoWo before following the Marshal to the logistics department.

Most of them didn’t believe it. And the few who did did it because of their extreme worship of the Marshal.

The rest of the old officers wanted to prove that Jin WoWo did not have the ability to “identify energy types with the naked eye.”

Hence, a group of people walked towards the logistics department with an aura that could scare ordinary people.
