The Villainess Redeems Herself, The Beast Husbands are in a Daily Love Battle-Chapter 56: Won’t Last a Few Days

"Currently, the mission is the priority."

"As for the children, let nature take its course."

Selene Kane looked at his awkward demeanor, secretly laughing to herself.

This guy usually acts all high and mighty, but now he’s utterly confused by a few casual remarks.

Even the ears under the brim of his hat twitched uncontrollably.

This is more like a person of flesh and blood.

He usually keeps a cold face all day, lips pressed tightly, making even her feel suppressed.

Caleb Shaw was adopted since childhood.

Raised in strict discipline and high-intensity training, he has never experienced such a scene.

His childhood didn’t include sitting by the fireplace having chats, no elder ruffling his hair or stroking his face.

Facing a group of overly enthusiastic, loud relatives.

He only felt his head swell as if ten starship engines were simultaneously igniting by his ears.

He couldn’t help but cast a pleading glance toward Selene Kane.

That look surprisingly revealed a rare hint of childlike helplessness.

Seeing that, Selene Kane decided to stop while she was ahead, a triumphant curve appeared at the corner of her mouth.

She cupped her mouth with both hands, loudly announcing as though gathering partners in childhood, "Don’t bully my male! He’s a legitimate Commander, can’t handle this kind of ’enthusiasm’ from you all!"

As soon as the words dropped, Caleb Shaw’s face turned beet red.

He instinctively pressed down his hat, trying to cover up his embarrassment.

Yet the slight boost of the brim made it obvious his ears had perked up—.

The pair of ears hidden under the hat were subtly twitching.

Selene Kane felt puzzled; what kind of Beastman form is this guy really?

She had never seen it, nor could it be found in the records.

The military archives simply stated "unregistered beast form," the medical report was vague, even his ears were always hidden under a hat.

Gazing at the small tuft of fuzzy outline beneath the brim, she muttered to herself.

Could it be a rare lineage?

Or...

Genetically modified?

Those around exchanged knowing glances, sneaking looks at each other.

Selene Kane first beamed brightly.

"Thank you all for the care and attention all this time, I’ve always kept it in mind."

With that, she cheerfully skipped back to Caleb Shaw’s side.

Soon she leaned sweetly against his sturdy arm.

"I’ll tell everyone some good news, the Commander has decided to sponsor the education of kids from the slum! Now our kids can afford to go to school and have books to read! Let’s all thank him~"

The crowd was initially stunned for a moment, seemingly not comprehending what she just said.

Straightaway, someone started shouting, and fervent cheers instantly erupted.

Everyone hugged each other tightly in joy.

Even the usually taciturn males reddened their eyes, wiping their faces forcefully.

Their gaze towards Caleb Shaw shifted from awe to complete gratitude.

Caleb Shaw stood in place, slightly furrowing his brows, initially wanting to clarify.

He had never mentioned sponsoring anyone, nor ever intended to get involved in such matters.

But when the words were on the tip of his tongue, looking at Selene Kane’s bright eyes and then at this genuinely grateful crowd before him.

He swallowed his rebuttal words back hard.

Ultimately, he simply nodded lightly.

He looked at Selene Kane’s side profile, eyes deep and thoughtful.

The system suddenly rang in her mind, its tone filled with suspicion.

"Host, what exactly is your plan? I don’t believe you’ve suddenly become so kind-hearted. You’ve never mentioned wanting to help these poor kids before."

Selene Kane’s lips curved slightly, laughing inwardly, yet she feigned innocence outwardly and retorted, "Who said that? Maybe I’ve changed? People can’t remain unchanged, right? I was immature before, but having seen more now, naturally, I’d want to do something good."

In truth, she knew very well.

Selene Kane originally returned just to test the waters.

To see if this once familiar place was still like how she remembered.

But standing here now, looking at these familiar faces, listening to their heartfelt gratitude.

Her thoughts quietly shifted.

People from the top, whether her Beast Husband’s subordinates.

Or so-called colleagues, were all deeply calculating and profit-oriented, completely unreliable.

And these kids from poor families grew up with her, suffered the same hardships, received the same cold stares.

The bonds between them were genuine.

Perhaps she couldn’t use them now, but what about the future?

Uncertainty is the rule of the world, who can say for sure?

Water can propel a ship, or it can capsize it.

As long as she offers them a hand at a critical moment, these friendships will eventually become her backing.

Moreover, sponsoring education doesn’t actually require her to shell out any money.

As long as Caleb Shaw says the word, resources will naturally fall into place.

For her, it’s just a matter of a few words, yet can earn a group of people willingly remembering her kindness.

Why wouldn’t she?

The system fell silent for a moment, suddenly blurting out coldly.

"Host, could it be you intend to rebel? Don’t think I don’t know what you’re up to."

Selene Kane chuckled softly, her tone still innocent and charming.

"One shouldn’t make baseless accusations, I just want to help those who truly care for me. Why do you always think badly of people? Am I really that sinister in your eyes?"

The system mumbled a few words, seemingly discontent.

"You’re an outsider; you have no ties to them. You lived well over there before, suddenly coming back and doing this, who would believe you’re sincere?"

Selene Kane narrowed her eyes slightly, pretending to threaten, "How about I leave now? Return to the upper echelons immediately and never care about this place again, would that satisfy you?" 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

The system went silent at once.

Though it’s a system, it has its tasks and assessment criteria.

As long as Selene Kane completes her childbirth task on time, producing a sufficient number of offspring.

It couldn’t care less about other minor actions.

After all, its duty is to ensure lineage continuation, not meddle in the host’s social strategies.

Having left her contact details, Selene Kane clapped her hands, revealing a relaxed smile, saying to the clan leader, "Okay, I’ll be taking Alza now. Thanks for your years of care."

The clan leader beamed with joy, his eyes crinkling into smiles.

"Alright, alright! This child following you is his ancestors’ credit!"

As he spoke, he wobbly drew out a yellowed identity paper from his pocket, handing it to Selene Kane.

"This child has faced hardships, lost his parents early, and lacks proper status. There’s no need for a formal wedding, rules are up to you, as long as he’s with you it’s fine."

He paused, his smile reduced slightly.

"You’ve changed now, adorned in gold and silver, with prominent figures protecting you, I can’t preach. I just ask one thing, if you ever find him an eyesore, or a burden, please just send him back. I’ll keep him fed and warm."

But he chose to believe Selene Kane nonetheless, even though leaving a retreat path.

The clan leader’s eyes reddened, bloodshot at the edges.

Most females outside are indifferent, cold-blooded, realistic, and devoid of warmth.

He often browses StarNet, follows various interstellar gossip news, knowing Selene Kane is now a renowned tough character, decisive in actions, so much so that even High Rank Beastmen fear her a bit.

But precisely for this reason, he feared Alza’s small frame wouldn’t last long.
