After turning into a rare female, she refused the bosses' exclusive favor

"So, what happened to you? Were you really hit by that female?"

After all, they have been good friends for many years, and Dirk Frey is still very concerned about Reinhardt's mental state.

The man just smiled bitterly and said, "In fact, I already knew that Xi'er is very powerful, but..."

Reinhardt hesitated to speak.

"But you didn't expect the gap between you and her would be so big, right!" Dirk Frey said incisively.

Reinhardt nodded and continued, "She stood in front of me at the time and easily neutralized the fatal blow."

"From that moment on, I thought to myself, how foolish I was to worry about someone who was stronger than me. Perhaps, this is why Xier always refuses help from others! With her strength, she doesn't need a "burden" like me to get in the way."

"Rhine, you..." Dirk Frey didn't know what to say.

For a moment, the atmosphere in the room was very depressing, and Reinhardt was deeply trapped in the quagmire of inferiority, unable to extricate himself.

"I'm talking to you..." Dirk Frey said with some disappointment.

"Now that I know the gap between myself and the other party, instead of complaining about it here, I might as well think about how to improve my own strength. After all..."

As he spoke, Dirk Frey patted Reinhardt's shoulder and said in a very serious tone: "She won't wait for you here! If you don't want to be left too far behind, start catching up with her from now on."

Dirk Frey's words made Reinhardt suddenly enlightened.

"That's right! Whether it's for Xi'er or Epirus, I must become stronger!" Reinhardt clenched his fists and his eyes became particularly determined.

Seeing his best friend come out of his confusion, Dirk Frey put his hand on his shoulder and said with a sly smile: "Very good! Since you have made up your mind, let's have a sparring match without further delay. I will give you some practice."

"So that's why you came to comfort me?" Reinhardt said with a wry smile.

"No way. I just want to make progress together with you! After all, you are the only one in the whole Epirus who can fight with me." Dirk Frey hooked Reinhardt over and punched him in the chest.

"Just asking you whether you want to fight or not? I won't force you."

"With pleasure! But I will not show mercy, Your Highness." Reinhardt responded.

"That's just what I want! Come on, let's go to a more spacious place outside to play. I'll treat you to a drink afterward!" Dirk Frey looked carefree, without any airs of a prince at all.

"Let's forget about drinking! I have other plans tomorrow..."

"A drink? Just a drink is fine!"

Just like that, the two grown men walked out of the house arm in arm.

……

The next day.

Reinhardt looked tired in the car. He had a fight with Dirk Frey last night and was forced to drink all night.

Although it was just a small drink, Reinhardt didn't know how many glasses the other party had forced him to drink. As a result, when he woke up with a hangover today, he felt a splitting headache and his stomach was churning.

"Rhine, are you okay?" Pushik asked with concern.

Reinhardt responded with a forced smile: "I'm fine. Maybe I slept too late last night, so I feel a little sleepy when I wake up early..."

Seeing the man's ugly face, Pu Xike guessed that he was just trying to show off, and immediately raised his hand and touched his forehead.

Reinhardt was startled by Pushik's sudden action. His heart was pounding and his face was flushed.

"I seem to have a little fever!" Pushik murmured, releasing a gentle green light from his palm.

In an instant, Reinhardt felt a warm current flowing through his body. Not only did his headache go away, his stomach also felt much more relaxed, and his whole body felt extremely comfortable.

"Okay! It should be okay now." Pu Xike withdrew his hand and smiled at the man.

There was still some warmth on Reinhardt's forehead. Although he was a little reluctant, he still said gratefully: "Thank you, Xier."

"It's just a piece of cake." Pushik said lightly.

Along the way, the two didn't communicate much.

Reinhardt didn't know what topic to talk about with Pushik. Perhaps the man was used to the orderly atmosphere in the military camp, and seemed dull in daily life.

There was an awkward atmosphere throughout the car.

Pushik leaned against the car window and looked up at Reinhardt. The man felt very uncomfortable and his face looked a little embarrassed.

"Rhine..."

"Yes!" Seeing the other party calling him, Reinhardt responded subconsciously.

"Don't take what happened yesterday to heart. As long as you are okay, that's all."

Reinhardt was a little flattered. It turned out that Pushik also noticed his low mood yesterday, so he comforted himself.

Pushik continued, "After all, no one expected the resistance to have 'sub-void weapons'."

"Wait, what did you just say? Sub-void...weapons?" Reinhardt grasped the key to the other party's words.

"Huh? I thought you thought of this yesterday." Pushik said as if it was a matter of course.

Reinhardt then realized why his psychic powers had become ineffective. It turned out that the resistance army was equipped with "sub-void weapons" targeting psychic warriors.

But where did the rebels get this level of weapons? Reinhardt was puzzled.

After being hit by Pushik yesterday, he was so immersed in inferiority that he completely forgot about such an important matter.

Possessing weapons and equipment that can cause damage to SSS-level enemies, it is clear that the power of the resistance army should not be underestimated. However, getting high-risk weapons that are banned by the entire universe is almost as difficult as ascending to heaven.

Therefore, the "sub-void weapons" in the hands of the rebels could only be secretly supported by someone within the empire, and this person is a high-ranking official in the empire's military and has the highest authority to access the empire's arsenal.

Aside from Reinhardt, the Grand Marshal of the Empire, the only person with this authority is...

"Duke Blitzer." Reinhardt frowned and slowly expressed his guess.

There are only three people in the empire who hold this authority. Besides himself, there are only the Emperor and Duke Blitzer.

The emperor naturally had no reason to support the rebels, so there was no doubt that the only person who could provide weapons and equipment to the rebels was Duke Blitzer.

"I still can't believe it, and I don't understand why Duke Blitzer would betray Epirus."

It can be seen that Reinhardt must respect the Duke of Blitzer very much, so much so that his face is full of regret and sorrow.

"Who knows? Maybe it's just like that guy (Dirk Frey) said, stirring up disputes within the galaxy for his own selfish reasons." Pushik leaned against the car window, looking at the passing scenery with a calm look in his eyes.

"I have met Duke Blitzer before, and he doesn't seem like the kind of person who is greedy for power."

"A bad guy won't write 'I'm a bad guy' on his face. You can't judge a person by his appearance. Besides, so many years have passed. How do you know that he won't change?" Pu Xike asked.

Reinhardt was speechless.

"In short, we still need to be on guard against that Duke Blitzer."

"Yeah." Reinhardt nodded slightly, his eyes very complicated.
