Chapter 168 Duet of Father’s Kindness and Son’s Filial Piety

The banquet, which was a great success for both the host and the guests, ended. While everyone was leaving, Hogg returned to his Blacklight.

Although Blackwatch has been carrying out reconstruction work, they certainly cannot handle a project of this magnitude on their own.

As Blackwatch's top dust-clearing pioneer, Dantioch, who has been detained in the legion, could never finish this job even if he cleared dust for his entire life.

So since the pie is so big, why not share it with others?

And Hogg is so kind-hearted, and he is not without his own ideas. After all, Horus has become the Warmaster, so Hogg also has a rough guess about what will happen in the future.

He didn't want to see this good man experience that dark fate. The Emperor's plan was too cruel, and he wanted to modify it quietly.

Moreover, after this war, many ships and supplies of the Empire and even the green-skinned orcs were lost in the warp.

As the Burning Legion's garbage collection business gets more and more on track, they must find a way to get rid of these shameful and dirty things.

After all, if supplies are always piled up in your hands, they will be completely meaningless. Only when they are circulated can Blackwatch grow stronger again.

Thinking of this, Hogg immediately took action and contacted the commander of the Burning Legion who was still in the warp. After praising them, he ordered them to transport the goods out as soon as possible.

But when Hogg issued orders using the Martha vest, he always felt that something was staring at him, which made Hogg puzzled and unable to figure out the reason.

What he didn't know was that when he left the palace, the speaker that played a significant role in this Beast War began to emit a faint golden light.

Hogg's every move was transmitted by this monitor to an ancient relic of the dark technology era, causing the Emperor who discovered Hogg's little secret to sneer.

"You bastard, I knew you were up to no good."

Seeing this, Malcador, who had been guarding Terra, asked:

"My Lord, do you want to give him a warning? This time he is not just colluding with the aliens."

But when I think about what happened on Ullanor, Hogg used a farce to ease the rift between the primarchs and gave up the position of Warmaster.

The emperor sighed and remained silent.

"Forget it, just consider it as compensation to him!"

But when the Emperor said this, Hogg, whose consciousness returned to the Blacklight, went crazy.

On the relic that looked like a monitor, Hogg's frantic dancing figure appeared:

"Hahaha! I've made a lot of money this time. The money I lost doesn't even count for a penny.

That idiot Huang Lao Han would never have thought that a mere position of war commander would not be enough to get rid of me. I am the real winner."

Ross, the lackey next to him, echoed: "Father is right. With you here, the Warmaster is nothing!"

"When the time comes, father, you will make a call and the Second Empire will be established. By then, our Black Watch will be the orthodox of the human empire."

Seeing such a good show, the Emperor's blood pressure rose again, and he clamored to kill this rebellious son right now. Seeing this, Malcador next to him immediately excused Hogg, after all, although this guy was foul-mouthed, he did have strength.

Seeing his old friend's defense broken, Malcador was secretly pleased. He had long been dissatisfied with the Emperor for leaving him on Terra to deal with the mess.

But before Makado could be happy, news about him came on the screen.

Hogg became excited when he thought that he would no longer be pinned to the ground and beaten by this yellow-skinned guy, and that the human empire could prosper according to his own vision.

"I, I, I, the dog is barking at me. I've long told you that the empire will end sooner or later if it continues to run like this, but he just won't listen.

And the Malcador next to him has a cunning look on his face. Compared with Old Man Huang, it's really the pot calling the kettle black. He's thousands of years old, but he turned interstellar civilization into a feudal slave empire. "Ross, who heard this, felt the same way. As far as he knew, all the legions disliked Malcador, the seal holder, and he also complained:
"I also heard that Malcador used his sex appeal to seduce people, often transforming into a white-haired little boy when no one knew about it, and trying to do something improper."

"Ah! Is this true? I was just making it up before, but I didn't expect it to be true."

Seeing that his father didn't believe him, Ross repeated the news from his good brother's cousin, a fellow villager who worked in the Ministry of the Interior on the neighboring planet.

As the saying goes, like father, like son. Ross, who has inherited Hogg's gossipy nature, tells the story vividly and creates the atmosphere of a Qiong Yao drama.

The two cockroaches from the sewers started gossiping in the Blacklight's laboratory, making obscene laughter.

But the smile would not disappear, it would only transfer to other people's faces. As the two men's smiles grew bigger, the faces of the two leaders who were hiding in the secret room and eavesdropping became darker and darker.

The Emperor Void Lock, who could no longer hold back, broke through the Blacklight's defense mechanism and with a move of Great Shift, dragged the two cockroaches into the secret room.

Hogg noticed that the scenery had changed drastically in the blink of an eye, and before he could react, he was hit by a belt, making him dizzy.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Ross wanted to escape, but there was a Malcador next to him, who directly hung him up with his psychic power and took out his crutch to hit him.

When the father saw that his son was still alive, he pulled out seven wolves. Suddenly, screams that shook the sky echoed on the top of the Himalayas. The two heroes, one big and one small, had no power to fight back at all.

"The Second Empire? I think you are tired of living!"

"Snapped!"

Seeing that Old Man Huang was really angry, Hogg, who was tied up, couldn't break free and could only try to awaken his father's love:
"Father, Father, I love you! Stop hitting me."

Hogg's humble manner was laughable, but the Emperor still swung his belt and whipped him hard.

Ross next to him was not feeling well either, as he suffered the same treatment as his father.

Macador, who looked like an old man, was seen waving a cane vigorously, and he was not as weak as he appeared.

"Little thing, you have so many relatives! And you are still a little boy."

"Dang!"

"Please spare my life, sir. It was my father who spread the rumor!"

Upon hearing that his offspring had betrayed him, Hogg was furious: "You're talking nonsense, I didn't say he was a little boy, I only said they were having an affair."

The loving father and filial son tried to sabotage each other in front of the Emperor and Malcador, and even told several different versions of the rumors.

Looking at these two rebellious sons and grandsons, the emperor laughed in anger, called his old friends and beat them up.

The Primarchs who were still on Terra, upon hearing the familiar scream, all showed expressions as if they had lost this thing.

The innocent Curze also asked Horus beside him:
"Brother, I think I heard Brother Hogg's screams?"

Stroking his younger brother's head and looking at the identical faces of Curze and Hogg, Horus said earnestly:
"Don't learn from him. You don't have his thick skin and flesh. When you grow up, you will know how annoying your good brother is."

Three days later, the father and son, both swollen and battered, were released and limped back to the Black Light.

What greeted Ross was another kind of fatherly love.

Unexpectedly, a message was sent to Hogg.
"Black Watch 72nd Company, a Primarch spotted in Pacific Segmentum."
