Chapter 65 Anger
Just as Kahn was deeply lamenting the tragic fate of his Primarch, the cell door was violently kicked open and suddenly burst open.
A group of World Eater warriors clad in blue and white power armor swarmed in, brandishing chainsaw axes and explosive guns with murderous intent, shouting that they would execute the eight think tank members of the Thousand Sons and avenge the missing Primarch.
But when they rushed in, they immediately discovered that their original entity was standing perfectly intact in the middle of the Thousand Sons Think Tank.
The Primarch's angular face was puffed out as he chewed vigorously, as if he were chewing on the bones of an enemy.
This made the already excited World Eater warriors feel honored, and they all knelt on one knee to pay homage to Primarch Angron, who had returned safely, with a standard World Eater internal salute.
"Primarch, welcome back!"
This time, "Little Butcher" was normal. Remembering his uncle Li Wei's teachings, he swallowed the cleanly gnawed bone and cleared his throat, saying:
"My children, do not worry, I have simply gone to explore the Warp with Lord... Lord Levi... to seek out its secrets!"
As "Little Tu" was speaking, he almost let slip something, and hurriedly corrected himself.
A hint of doubt flashed in the eyes of the World Devourers present, but they didn't think much of it and said in unison:
"Yes, Primarch."
"Hmm," Xiao Tu nodded in satisfaction, sensing everyone's gaze. "You may all leave now. There's nothing else; don't disturb my discussion with Lord Li Wei."
No sooner had "Little Butcher" finished speaking than the platoon leader who had led the disturbance among the World Devourers frowned and said:
"Primarch, the wizard Livy of the Thousand Sons has detained you for three days. This is a great disgrace and must be punished. Otherwise, where will we Devourers put our face?"
If it were the Primarch of another Legion speaking up, their offspring would obediently retreat. But this is the World Eater Legion, where arrogance and belligerence are the norm. This isn't the first time a World Eater warrior has publicly defied their own Primarch.
Although the outcome might not be good, the World Eater warriors are proud of it.
"This..." Little Tu, who hadn't memorized the corresponding lines, was stunned for a moment, then his pleading eyes unconsciously turned to "Big Daddy" Li Wei.
But Li Wei stood by with his arms crossed, watching coldly without making any comment.
Seeing this, Kahn was about to speak up to help when he was stopped by Levi, who had been standing there calmly. At the same time, a psionic message was transmitted to Kahn's mind.
"Don't rush, let's see what this child will do!"
Although Kahn didn't quite understand, he accepted Angron's entrustment and was determined to obey Li Wei's orders. He nodded slightly to indicate his agreement with Li Wei's arrangements.
After receiving Kahn's tacit approval, Levi secretly pondered that he was not deliberately making things difficult for the intellectually challenged "Little Butcher" or cultivating his ability to handle matters independently.
He wasn't that bored; he was just thinking that "Little Tu" was really as innocent as he appeared, and truly posed no threat whatsoever.
He remembered that "Little Butcher" initially called himself "Butcher's Nail," a torture device from the dark age of technology.
In his past life's memories, the Emperor had joined forces with the Great Sage of the Mechanicus, yet they were still unable to completely remove it from Angron's head, which was enough to prove its strangeness and stubbornness.
Li Wei didn't believe that "Little Butcher," who was now occupying Angron's body, could really be as harmless as if he were by his side, except for being a little less intelligent.
With the two powerful figures who could have saved the day ignoring him, "Little Tu," who was getting increasingly anxious, could only stare pitifully at Li Wei, hoping for a hint.
After a long while, "Little Tu," who was getting impatient, was about to call for help from his "big dad" when he was stopped by Li Wei's stern gaze.
Looking at the group of noisy adults in front of him who were still asking him to stand up for him, "Little Tu" finally lost his temper.
The scarlet butcher's nail on his head, sensing its master's anger, instantly glowed with a blinding red light.
Driven by the instinct of the Butcher's Nail, "Little Butcher" could no longer tolerate the noisy commotion. His muscles tensed up, his face became ferocious and terrifying, and even his voice became cold and hoarse.
"What are you arguing about? How dare you question me? I'll tear you to pieces!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he took a step forward and was about to throw a fist the size of a casserole pot at the head of the loudest World Devourer warrior.
At the critical moment, Li Wei suddenly spoke, saying in a deep voice:
"Lord Anglon, stop!"
"Okay." Upon receiving the order from "Big Daddy," "Little Butcher" felt as if he had been granted a pardon and immediately stopped what he was doing, then retreated back into the Thousand Sons' team.
He was about to pout and act coquettishly towards Li Wei when Li Wei stopped him with a look.
"Little Tu" felt wronged and hung his head. Just then, a spiritual voice transmission sounded in his mind.
"Good job, I'll give you a whole box of roasted chicken legs later."
Upon hearing this, "Little Tu's" eyes immediately lit up, and he beamed with joy.
The group of World Eater warriors, who had been so arrogant just moments before, instantly calmed down upon witnessing their Primarch's furious state, readily obeying orders and slinking away in disgrace.
They left so quickly that even Li Wei, the chief think tank leader of the Thousand Sons, who had just stopped their Primarch from his rage, didn't suspect a thing.
The room fell silent shortly afterward.
Kayan, the adjutant who had been listening from the sidelines in a state of confusion, knew that his chief had something to discuss with the World Eater Primarch Angron and the World Eater Kahn.
He then took the initiative to direct the remaining seven members of the Thousand Sons Think Tank to leave first, leaving the cell to Levi, Kahn, and Anglon.
As the last member of the Thousand Sons Think Tank walked out of the cell, and he was about to follow, he heard Li Wei's slightly hesitant voice.
"Kayan, you stay!"
After saying this, Li Wei put aside his concerns; he had to change his plans.
Kayan, as his adjutant and disciple, was exceptionally capable and somewhat secretive; he knew more than Magnus, the Primarch of the Thousand Sons.
Even during the conversation just now, he deliberately kept Kayan, who originally knew nothing about the situation, behind to cultivate Kayan's overall perspective.
But when he realized that "Little Tu" was out of control, Li Wei muttered to himself.
He needed to leave someone in the World Eater Legion to supervise the unpredictable and easily out-of-control "Little Butcher," and Kayan was the best choice.
Li Wei's original plan was to rely on Vashtor, who had been hiding in the warp, to remotely control "Little Butcher".
It was discovered that the uncontrollability of "Little Tu" far exceeded expectations, so the only option was to send people to keep a close eye on him at all times to prevent any accidents.
After all, Angron, the World Eater Primarch, was Khorne's favorite candidate for the Chosen One.
Even if the favor that Angron later received from Khorne was not as profound as that of the "traitor" Kahn, who later completely sided with Chaos, it was still one of Khorne's highest priority targets.
