A Guide to Raising Your Natural Enemy

67. The Past and the Past Events

Beastmen basically liked spaceship. Chris, this emperor, had a hobby of collecting spaceships. Just last year, he had people assemble and install a very, very fast spaceship for him.

This spaceship was specially tailored to him, and there was only one such spaceship in the entire Beastman Empire. Now, this spaceship was parked in front of Jonathan.

Taking along the robots around him while seizing Ian and Jones, Jonathan approached the spaceship but did not immediately get onto the spaceship. Instead, he said, "I can\'t operate the spaceship alone."

"What more do you want?" Chris\' gaze was icy cold.

"I still have a few subordinates who have not been arrested. They’ll come soon." Jonathan smiled at Chris. "You don’t mind waiting for a few minutes, right?"

Chris\' face was particularly ugly, but he could only agree. A moment after he agreed, an aircraft applied to enter the imperial palace. Obviously, Jonathan’s men had been waiting outside.

Chris allowed the aircraft to enter the imperial palace area. At the same time, the aircraft was scanned back and forth several times with all kinds of devices, and an investigation directed against the people inside the aircraft was started immediately.

The aircraft stopped beside the spaceship, and three sub-beastmen and four beastmen came down from the aircraft. They immediately surrounded Jonathan, escorting Jonathan to walk over to and board the spaceship.

These people were full of vigilance as they boarded the spaceship, but even then, they never found a fingernail-sized hamster and a toothpick-sized snake following them onto the spaceship.

Both Shu Shu and Edgar had become smaller and blended in to board the spaceship.

They wanted to make a move when they were not on board the spaceship yet, but Jonathan and those robots had bombs on their bodies. Later, the people who came here also tied a lot of bombs on their bodies . . . . Although Edgar had confidence in his own strength, but he was worried that he would accidentally detonate the bombs once he took action. Therefore, he could only endure.

"Lenka, you and Abbott guard Jones. Klaus, you and Ramirez are responsible for guarding this egg. When you guard them, you must keep close to them. As soon as there’s any movement, immediately kill the man and smash the egg!" Jonathan ordered once he got onto the spaceship.

The four people who were named complied with the order. Two of them took over Jones, and the other two received the egg.

"You stay in the third cabin and the seventeenth cabin separately." Jonathan ordered again.

These two cabins, one was located on the far left of the spaceship, and one was on the far right of the spaceship, and the distance between them was quite far. It was estimated that Jonathan arranged it this way so as to make it impossible for people to rescue the hostages at the same time.

It had to be said that this was indeed a good arrangement. After hearing it, Edgar’s heart sank at once. He originally wanted to take advantage of Jonathan when their defense was not so strict to rescue the three people and send them to the escape pods and then get rid of Jonathan. But now . . . the three people were being locked up in three different places, and if each person was strictly guarded, then things would be difficult to deal with!

Edgar actually wasn’t the slightest afraid of explosive. With his current physical strength, unless it was an artillery shell from a warship that could smash a spaceship into smithereens, it was impossible to injure him. Common explosives were useless to him.

However, while he was not worried of explosive, Ian, Jones, and the egg were unable to endure it. He wanted to save people, but in any case, he could not end up rescuing dead people.

Edgar could only hide himself again. Shu Shu, seeing him like this, also followed the rules.

Meanwhile, Jonathan took Ian and the rest of his men to the spaceship\'s main control room.

When they had just boarded the spaceship, one of Jonathan\'s subordinates had already gone to the main control room, so right now, the spaceship already rose to the sky.

The speed of the spaceship was getting faster and faster, and it began to break away from the planet’s gravity and pass through the atmosphere. At this time, even if the spaceship’s performance was very good, it would inevitably start to shake slightly.

Many sub-beastmen were afraid of such shaking. Jonathan, during all this time, was walking toward the control room, but his face did not show one bit of fear.

It was not because he was used to it. Rather, he was already not afraid of dying.

Edgar watched him from afar and felt a chill run down his spine. If Jonathan was still afraid of some things, then it would be easy to deal with this matter. But if he was not afraid of dying . . . .

Having just walked halfway, Jonathan suddenly frowned and looked behind him.

"Teacher?" A sub-beastman beside Jonathan was a little puzzled.

Jonathan surveyed the area behind him but didn\'t see anything, as if the peculiarity he had just felt was only an illusion . . . . He turned his body around and continued to walked ahead.

Edgar originally wanted to keep up, but now he didn\'t dare. He could only look on helplessly as the steel-cast door closed in front of him.

Shu Shu gave Edgar a pat with his paw and wrote a few words on the floor, "What’s to be done?"

Edgar glanced at Shu Shu and then went to a corner and began to dig a hole with his claws.

As a jiāo lóng, his claws were even harder than steel. It didn\'t take long for him to dig a tiny hole and get into it.

Shu Shu followed behind Edgar and got into the hole. Looking at Edgar\'s tail, he suddenly felt his blood run cold—he actually followed a snake getting into a hole!

However, his fear only lasted for an instant, and he soon came to his senses. He put his mind in order and crawled forward after the snake\'s tail.

His child was still in those bastards’ hands. Right now, don\'t say about having to work together with a snake to figure out a way to save people, even if he had to seize the egg from a snake’s mouth, he was ready!

Well, his current enemies were definitely not snakes . . . . That Jonathan was simply worse than a snake!

The speed of Edgar digging a hole was very fast. Not long after, he already dug his way into the vicinity of the main control room. Then he made an opening in the corner of the main control room.

He didn\'t come out of the hole and just hid inside while spying at the situation outside the hole.

Jonathan handed over the child and Jones to his men to keep an eye on as hostages. There would certainly be no danger to the lives of these two people. Ian was different though . . . .

The reason why Edgar did not go to the other two places but came here instead was because he was worried that Ian would be in danger. After all, Jonathan seemed to hate Ian the most.

Nevertheless, they also couldn’t rashly save people under these circumstances. So, all things considered, they had no other choice but to play it by ear!

However, after they arrived here, they found that Jonathan did not concern himself with Ian at all.

Jonathan was working, pounding on the console.

Edgar also had some knowledge of computer programming. After observing Jonathan for a while, he knew that Jonathan was altering the programs of this spaceship. The owners of this spaceship were previously him, Chris, and Ian. But now, Jonathan had erased all their information, and the one in control of this spaceship became Jonathan.

Edgar knew that Jonathan was very remarkable when he was young. When he heard that Jonathan had given up his former career to be a housewife after marriage, he felt that it was really a pity. But, looking at the situation now . . . .

Jonathan very likely had never stopped undertaking advanced studies.

Recalling his previous investigation into Jonathan’s actions of accepting disciples on the star network and fostering orphans for his own use, Edgar felt some lingering fear as well as puzzlement.

Why did this person who nevertheless had a good life want to travel on a dead end road like this?

After Jonathan had altered all the programs on the spaceship and had the men at his side take out the explosives from the space button, he then began to tie the explosives on Ian’s body.

Finished tying up the explosives, he also installed some wireless devices on Ian’s shirt and connected them to himself.

After doing all this, Jonathan took out a needle and then jabbed it into Ian, who was lying on the floor.

Ian\'s eyelids fluttered, and his eyes eventually opened. His gaze was a bit vacant at first, but it quickly recovered its clarity and brightness. "What about the child?"

"You still have time to think about that egg? Don\'t you realize that you should worry about yourself?" Jonathan smirked.

"Jonathan, what the hell do you think you’re doing?! When have we let you down? Why would you harm us like this?" Ian stared at Jonathan angrily.

He and Chris had never had their guard up against Jonathan, but Jonathan? Not to mention harming Edgar, Jonathan even kidnapped him now . . . . Did Shu Shu and Jones fall into this madman’s hands too?

"Of course you’ve let me down. Chris is obviously mine; why did you steal him?" Jonathan sat in front of Ian. "He and I grew up together from childhood, and the one he likes the most is me. We’re inseparable every day. He loves me, and I love him too. Everyone thought we’d be together. If it were not for you, we’d continue living happily together."

"What nonsense are you talking about?! Chris has always regarded you as a younger brother." Ian thought that there was simply something wrong with Jonathan. If Chris really liked Jonathan, would he still bother about Ian?

"No, he loves me! If it were not for you sneakily eating his beast bead, how could he marry you?" Jonathan looked at Ian with eyes full of malice. "I’ve been waiting for him to return and marry me. As a result, he brought you back . . . . If it were not for you taking advantage of his injured self to eat his beast bead, how could he marry you?"

"You talked rubbish! It’s obviously him whom forced me to eat!" Ian replied. He was observing the situation around him while watching Jonathan\'s expression. He planned to stall for time to think of a way to escape or to wait for someone to come and save him.

Of course, he also wanted to understand why Jonathan would think like this . . . . As far as he knew, Chris had never expressed any romantic feeling toward Jonathan, not even a hint.

Chris was much older than Jonathan. Chris’ parents originally adopted Jonathan because they thought that their adult beastman son was very lonely . . . . Being inseparable every day and so on were absolutely lies. When Chris’ parents adopted the seven-year-old Jonathan, Chris already graduated from the Imperial College and entered the military. What relationship could he have with a little sub-beastman?

"It’s obvious that he was injured and accidentally crashed into you. Then you took advantage of the situation to eat his beast bead." Jonathan said. "I heard your dispute with him." He always loved Chris, so he worked hard to grow up and learn because he wanted to become a person who could match Chris. As a result, Chris brought back Ian.

He was truly in agony seeing Chris treat Ian with the utmost care. As it happened, he then discovered that Chris seemed to not have forgotten him at all.

After that, he accidentally heard the dispute between Chris and Ian . . . .

Jonathan was simply insane! Ian thought all of this was utterly absurd.

He really liked fighting a war, but sub-beastmen could not go to the battlefield. Later, he straightforwardly went to learn medicine and became a military doctor, so he could follow the troops and go to war.

After joining the military, he performed very well. Together with Jones, they became the best military doctor as well as the most popular sub-beastmen in the military.

However, he and Chris still had not had any intersection at this time. In addition, he had always planned to find and marry a serviceman whose family was well-matched with his in terms of social status and who would allow him to keep being a military doctor after marriage. Until a certain mission.

The unit he belonged to received a mission to investigate a notorious criminal gang that smuggled counterfeit goods and even occupied a planet to produce weapons of mass destruction. In order to find evidence, they infiltrated that planet covertly.

Their troops infiltrated the planet, and so did Chris. Later, something happened. He was separated from the rest of his unit and then saved Chris, who was seriously injured.

At that time, Chris was doing a "big project" on that planet and being hunted down by some people. In order to hide Chris, he and Chris pretended to be lovers. He even found a job producing firearms to support himself and his "sick" partner on that planet.

They lived together like that for two months. Afterwards, the criminal gang was eliminated by the armed forces, and Chris did not let him go.

He developed a deep affection for Chris during those two months, but later, he learned of Chris\' identity and started to alienate himself from Chris.

If he married Chris, he feared that he wouldn’t be able to stay in the military anymore. Moreover, the discrepancy between his identity and Chris’ was too big, and he would definitely come across all kinds of troubles.

He was very reluctant to raise the issue of breaking up, so he could only alienate himself first, thinking that Chris would maybe give him up after they became estranged.

Chris certainly felt his alienation. After some time, when Chris was injured and looked for him to dress his wounds, he suddenly "fainted" on him. Conveniently, he also "accidentally" kissed him and "accidentally" stuffed the beast bead into his mouth.

He did like Chris, and they were considered to be a harmonious couple, so the beast bead took root in his stomach just like that. But he definitely didn’t sneakily eat Chris\' beast bead. Why would Jonathan think so?

Ian felt that Jonathan was really sick in the head. Jonathan, however, sneered and abruptly opened his communication device to play a video.
