The Villainess Cannot Escape — Five Beast Husbands Chase Her Madly-Chapter 128: Su An’an Sees a Familiar Mad Beast
"You’re going to answer for this when we get back."
Su An’an gritted her teeth, wanting nothing more than to throw William to the reporters.
Punishing the reporters would have been easy, but if she were labeled arrogant and domineering, it would be hard to hold on to her title of Duke.
Just as the tension reached its peak, the heavy iron gates of the Mad Beast Institute boomed open.
Director Simon of the Mad Beast Institute walked out, followed by fully armed soldiers.
The Vulture Beastman was in his forties, with a gaunt face and narrow eyes that held a sinister, cold glint.
He swept a cold gaze over the chaotic scene, his voice sharper than sandpaper on glass:
"The Third Princess’s mission to save the Frenzied Beasts is an honor for the entire Empire."
"Anyone who obstructs this righteous mission is a rebel."
"He’s all yours."
Ye Yuan sneered and threw the reporter in the skull mask at Simon’s feet.
The reporter’s face instantly turned ashen, and he trembled as he spoke:
"Director Simon! I’m a reporter from the Interstellar Daily! You can’t take the law into your own hands with me."
"This isn’t punishment. This is your reward. A chance for you to get an early taste of what it’s like to live in the Mad Beast Institute."
Simon gave a cold laugh and waved his hand, and two fully armed guards dragged the reporter away.
He turned to Su An’an, bowed slightly, and asked respectfully, "Princess, what do you think of this resolution?"
The surrounding reporters immediately fell silent.
Everyone knew of Simon’s fearsome reputation.
This Triple S Level Beastman had survived the Mad Beast Institute’s brutal, survival-of-the-fittest training since childhood, and his methods were so ruthless that even the Rebel Army gave him a wide berth.
No beast he targeted had ever escaped in one piece.
Su An’an nodded slightly, her tense shoulders finally relaxing. "Then I’ll leave it in your hands, Director."
She looked at the trembling crowd of reporters, her voice clear and bright:
"I hope you all remember that the Empire’s future is built on goodwill and truth, not rumors and slander."
"Yes, yes, yes!"
"The Princess is right."
The reporters scrambled to agree, not daring to make another peep.
Carrying Qiuqiu, Su An’an stepped through the heavy iron gates of the Mad Beast Institute, escorted by Ye Yuan and Lan Cangming.
"Princess, I’m sorry!"
William stepped forward, wiping away cold sweat, but was pinned to the spot by Su An’an’s icy gaze:
"Go back and write a three-thousand-word apology. If anything like this happens again, you can be a human shield for those reporters yourself."
"Ye-yes, Princess!"
William’s face was ashen, his back already soaked through with cold sweat.
Ah Jin stumbled to catch up, clutching her chest and whispering:
"That scared me to death, Princess. Maybe you shouldn’t bring Qiuqiu out in the future?"
Qiuqiu huddled in Su An’an’s arms, its ruby eyes glistening with moisture, but its tail stubbornly coiled around her wrist.
"What are you talking about?"
Su An’an gently stroked Qiuqiu’s small head.
"Qiuqiu is my lucky star. More than that, it’s a royally certified Special Pacification Envoy."
"Don’t worry, I can protect it."
"Qiuqiu is very strong now. Qiuqiu can protect the Princess."
Qiuqiu clenched its little paws, its ruby eyes sparkling.
’After all, I have a mission to stay by the Princess’s side.’
Ah Jin looked at Qiuqiu’s confident demeanor and realized this little one was truly different than before.
"Enough with the pleasantries. Let’s begin the pacification!"
Simon’s icy voice suddenly cut in.
Three guards rolled in a vibrating metal cage, with Adela and Wen Susu following close behind.
There were three male beasts to be pacified today. Black blood seeped from beneath the Wolf Clan beast’s gray fur, the Mouse Clan beast’s tusks had burst through its mouth, and the base of the Parrot Clan beast’s tail feathers had exploded into a bloody mess.
"These three are all severely afflicted Medicated Poison Beasts. Their current frenzy level is at 70%."
Simon activated his terminal, projecting the three male beasts’ medical files onto a Light Screen, and said to Su An’an,
"Princess, begin!"
"Don’t be afraid," Su An’an said softly to Ah Jin, Adela, and Wen Susu.
"We already studied their cases and confirmed the treatment plan last night. You just focus on channeling your Healing Power. I’ll handle the rest."
"Okay!"
The three Holy Females nodded, nervously approached the cages, and placed their palms on the male beasts’ foreheads to begin the treatment.
’Little Pink, pull up all unencrypted surveillance feeds.’
Su An’an commanded in her mind:
’If you detect any anomalies, sound the alarm immediately.’
’Rest assured, Princess. I’ve already taken control of the entire Mad Beast Institute network. Not even a fly can get in without me knowing.’
Waterfalls of data streamed across Little Pink’s eyes.
Ye Yuan slowly walked to Simon’s side and asked in a low voice, "Did you run a check on the Mad Beast Institute’s defense systems?"
Simon’s lips curled into a smirk, but he remained silent.
Ye Yuan’s pupils constricted.
The smile on the face of his adoptive father—the man who had thrown him into Frenzied Beast cages to build his courage as a child—was identical to the one he wore years ago when luring Interstellar pirates into a trap.
"Don’t tell me you left a vulnerability on purpose to bait the Rebel Army?"
Ye Yuan said through gritted teeth, "Don’t forget, the Third Princess is on a pacification mission here."
"Relax. If they dare to show up, they won’t be leaving alive."
A mad glint flashed in Simon’s eyes.
"The Mad Beast Institute is running short on live specimens for its treatment serums. Rebel Army brains should prove more interesting than those of Frenzied Beasts."
"Maniac!"
Ye Yuan cursed under his breath, but he concealed his killing intent when Su An’an glanced over, quickly moving to her side.
"No matter what happens, stay close to me."
"The Rebel Army is going to show up?"
Su An’an abruptly hugged Qiuqiu tighter.
The little creature immediately let out a tiny, fierce snarl. "Don’t be scared. Qiuqiu will protect you."
"I’m not sure, but that old bastard is definitely plotting something."
Ye Yuan glanced at Simon and said in a low voice,
"That guy would dare to swindle the Empire Council itself, let alone use a mission as bait."
Lan Cangming frowned, his gaze landing on Simon like a sharp blade.
’I’d heard Simon was the most unhinged person at the Mad Beast Institute, but I never expected he’d dare use a pacification mission as bait.’
’How despicable!’
"It’s fine. We’ll just stay on alert and leave as soon as the pacification is done."
Ye Yuan’s Night Abyss Dragon Tail tapped lightly on the ground as he scanned his surroundings vigilantly.
"I suppose that’s all we can do."
Frost condensed in Lan Cangming’s palm, ready to deal with any surprises.
Meanwhile, Ah Jin and the other two Holy Females had successfully completed the pacification.
The three frenzied male beasts reverted to their humanoid forms, achieving an A Level healing effect.
"S Level Healing Power certainly lives up to its reputation."
Simon clapped his hands, a look of pity on his face as he said,
"However, if it were Lord Jiu Su, I’m afraid she could have made them break right through their Level barriers."
"Lord Jiu Su is a Legendary figure."
Ah Jin wiped the cold sweat from her temples, her ears drooping with exhaustion.
"Achieving A Level healing is already our limit."
Simon suddenly turned to Su An’an, his gaze like a Vulture eying its Prey.
"Third Princess, you are Lord Jiu Su’s disciple. Have you ever seen her true face? Is she really a Divine Female?"
"I’ve never seen my master in person."
Su An’an held the restless Qiuqiu still, her voice as calm as a placid lake. "But whether she is a Divine Female or not, she is the person I respect most."
"You’d better shut your mouth, you old bastard."
Ye Yuan’s voice was like a dagger of ice:
"If you dare to test the Princess again, I’ll throw you into the Mutant Beast Pool to feed the fish."
Simon raised his hands in surrender. "Fine, I won’t ask! The mission is over. You may leave."
"Let’s go."
Lan Cangming and Ye Yuan flanked Su An’an, one on her left and one on her right.
William, Ah Jin, Adela, Wen Susu, and the others followed behind them.
Thinking of her impending appointment as a Duke, Su An’an’s steps became lighter.
As she rounded a corner in the metal corridor, Su An’an suddenly stopped in her tracks, staring in shock at an iron cage by the door to the medical room.
Locked inside it was...
