Chapter 23 Witness

Chapter 23 Witness

The irrational Ed was about to attack Ji Jing recklessly.

But Ji Jing silently took out his military knife.

Ed: ...

He instantly calmed down a bit.

Seeing him stop and take two steps back, Ji Jing, who was playing with the military knife, spoke calmly, "Do you think I want to see him? I have no choice, sigh, it's all for your sake."

Ji Jing’s sigh made Ed feel as if his body had turned cold halfway.

"You probably don't know this? Your little affair with your lover in the military has already been found out by Luo Ke."

Ed froze. Now that he thought about it, the reason why Luo Ke Tang En warned him not to touch Ji Jing must mean that he knew Ji Jing was his legal Omega, right?

So when he brought Carol to the party in front of him last time, wasn’t he essentially handing over evidence of his infidelity to Luo Ke Tang En?

No wonder Luo Ke Tang En asked him if he and Carol were partners, and he even admitted it then.

And no wonder despite personally sending him an invitation, Luo Ke Tang En was so cold upon meeting him.

At the time, he thought it was because Carol’s ignorance annoyed Luo Ke Tang En.

Now it seemed that Luo Ke Tang En was upset precisely because he knew about his infidelity right in front of him, right?

Ed felt so frustrated that he wanted to slap himself. If he could go back a few days, he would definitely give himself a good beating for enthusiastically inviting Carol to the party.

Yet Ji Jing continued coolly, "Sigh, I originally wanted to persuade Luo Ke not to punish you. Although the marriage law doesn’t impose heavy penalties for infidelity, you’re different as a soldier."

"If news of you and Carol spreads, not only will Carol be unable to stay in the military, but even you..."

"Even if you manage to avoid being expelled, with Luo Ke around, you can forget about any promotion opportunities for the rest of your life."

"I’m doing this for your future, which is why I went to plead with Luo Ke."

"Luo Ke agreed that as long as you give me reasonable compensation and we finalize the divorce smoothly, he won’t hold this against you anymore."

"But if... sigh, once Carol is expelled from the military and you face military discipline, I wonder if you’ll still have a bright future together."

Ji Jing appeared genuinely concerned about Ed’s future, but he was actually quite calm.

He understood Ed, this kind of scummy Alpha, too well.

If only Carol faced punishment, he wouldn’t be so anxious, but if his own future was at stake, he couldn’t sit still.

After all, people like him, talking about true love, are just fooling themselves.

Because the person they love most is always themselves.

Unlike their Abyss Succubi, who are scummy but clear about it, they never use false love to make promises.

If someone asks, the answer is simple: they only love themselves.

Finally, after a few minutes of internal struggle, Ed, with bloodshot eyes, conceded.

He said, "I can agree to your divorce conditions, but you must also guarantee that General Tang En won’t pursue me or Carol, otherwise, I’ll expose your relationship with him even if it ruins my reputation as an Alpha."

Ji Jing chuckled lightly, completely unfazed.

Then, he dialed Luo Ke’s video call in front of Ed.

The call connected after three rings, and a holographic projection appeared in the study.

Luo Ke seemed to have just taken a shower; his silver-white hair was still dripping wet, and he wore loose pajama pants and a white tank top, wiping his hair with a towel while looking at Ji Jing.

"Ji Jing, you called?"

Luo Ke asked, but he quickly noticed Ed beside him, his gaze turning sharp, and the oppressive atmosphere seemed to transmit through the air.

Ed nervously swallowed.

Ji Jing, on the other hand, wiped away the drool almost spilling out—Luo Ke in a tank top was too much!

His chest muscles, back muscles, and biceps were clearly visible, and even the lines of his abs were distinct.

"Is he troubling you?" Luo Ke asked Ji Jing, his dangerous gaze directed at Ed, making him even more nervous.

The instinctive suppression from a top-tier powerhouse.

Ji Jing remembered his purpose and quickly put aside his lustful thoughts, smiling, "No, I’m discussing the divorce with Ed."

Upon hearing this, Luo Ke was stunned, then overjoyed.

Divorce, great!

Hurry up and get divorced!

Ji Jing explained, "Ed agreed to give me the villa in the third community of Emerald Avenue and pay me one billion star coins as divorce compensation, but on the condition that I don’t pursue his infidelity during our marriage. He hopes you can also promise not to hold this against him. Is that okay?"

Luo Ke felt angry, thinking: How much is a villa in the third community of Emerald Avenue worth? He could give Ji Jing ten villas on Gold Avenue, and giving only one billion star coins as divorce compensation is miserly. He could give Ji Jing one billion star coins every month as pocket money!

Although Luo Ke believed Ed deserved punishment, the villa and one billion star coins were negligible.

But seeing Ji Jing’s smiling face, he suddenly nodded in agreement.

"Yes, I agree. As long as Colonel Ed Gris agrees to provide the appropriate compensation, I’m willing to promise not to hold this against him."

Anyway, not pursuing the matter doesn't mean it didn't happen.

Ed still needs military merits to advance in the future, doesn't he?

Ed argued, "There's also Carol."

Ji Jing nodded, "Oh, right, Luo Ke, you have to pretend you don't know Carol is an Omega, and don't kick him out of the army."

Luo Ke: "...Alright."

He could pretend not to know, but if someone else discovered it, that would be their problem.

Then, under the witness of General Luo Ke Tang En, Ji Jing and Ed submitted their electronic divorce application on the spot and included the property division in the divorce agreement.

Both parties underwent facial recognition verification and signed the documents.

Next, they just needed to wait for the Civil Affairs Bureau to approve the electronic divorce application, after which they would go there in person to obtain a paper divorce certificate, officially ending their marriage.

"Alright, thank you for your witness and help, Luo Ke. We'll talk later!"

Ji Jing waved goodbye to Luo Ke's holographic projection and then ended the video call.

Although Ed looked frustrated, at this point, there was no chance for him to regret.

He gave Ji Jing a deep look before turning around coldly, as if he never wanted to see him again.

Ji Jing waved leisurely behind him, "Remember to set a time to go to the Civil Affairs Bureau for the certificate!"

Ed: ...

Ed walked away even faster.

At this moment, on a small planet near Imperial Star, "Gray Wolf" had just climbed out of the treatment pod, his skin looking particularly pale, giving him the appearance of a frail scholar.

Just like his real name—Ask Xiuzhu.

If the real him appeared before everyone and announced that he was the leader of the Wolf King Star Pirates, most people would think he was joking.

Then, just as he put on his clothes, he heard his subordinates report that their "mole" cargo channel had been raided by Luo Ke Tang En and his mech team, resulting in heavy losses.

Ask Xiuzhu pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses, his eyes behind the lenses icy cold.

"Little beauty, you've really broken my heart. I treated you with all sincerity, yet you betrayed me to Luo Ke Tang En."

How... heartless!
