have ulterior motives

Jacob always longed to have his own offspring. He knew that his time was running out and he wanted to pass on his unfinished ambitions.

Over the years, he has been looking for females with strong fertility. Two of his four female partners have given birth before, but they still failed to give birth to a child for him.

Knox instinctively wanted to deny it, but he couldn't refute it. After all, it was Jacob who ordered him to kidnap the S-class Saint, but he hadn't revealed that Anita was S-class yet.

The shop owner's face was full of envy: "This female is prettier and younger than the previous four. Chief Jacob will definitely like her."

Knox suddenly spoke, his tone somewhat gloomy: "No, you are wrong, she does not belong to the leader!"

In Knox's mind, Jacob already had four partners and was old, so Anrita could never be with him.

On the way back from shopping, Knox was even more silent than usual.

Anita had no intention of talking to him and was only thinking about how to escape from here.

Shortly after returning home, someone called out from over the garden fence, "Knox! Knox! Come out! The chief wants you!"

Knox was helping Anrita install curtains at the time, and he stopped when he heard the shouting.

Anrita, who was sitting nearby drinking nutrient solution, also looked tense, and the two looked at each other.

Knox said uncomfortably, "Don't be afraid. I'll go see the chief first. You just stay in the house. No one dares to break in."

Knox's S-level mental power is quite intimidating, and coupled with his eccentric personality, few people dare to provoke him.

Anrita watched Knox leave without saying a word.

Knox, on the other hand, seemed a little uncomfortable and kept looking back as he walked out the door.

Why is the little female silent?

Is she afraid of the chief?

Knox felt a little irritated.

In fact, when Jacob asked him to kidnap an S-class female, he only regarded it as a task and never thought about why Jacob wanted to kidnap this person or what he would do with her after kidnapping her.

What I didn't expect was that after bringing the person back, I actually didn't want to hand him over.

Jacob lives in a luxurious villa in the center of the town, the style of which is out of tune with the town.

The houses where Knox and his family lived were left by the indigenous people, while Jacob's villa was newly built.

When Knox arrived at the villa, Jacob was wearing casual clothes and drinking in the rooftop garden.

Seeing Knox, he immediately stood up, greeted him with a smile on his face, and said with satisfaction: "My child, you have worked hard."

Knox pursed his lips and said, "Completing the task assigned by the leader is my job. It's not hard."

But he was thinking that this trip was not easy, and the eight tentacles were almost blown to pieces.

Jacob was old and had a hunched back, while Knox was young, tall, and strong. When Jacob approached him, he had to look up to talk to him.

"Have you eaten yet?" Jacob asked kindly. "Did your trip go well?"

Knox followed Jacob and walked forward: "I haven't eaten yet, so it's going well."

Jacob nodded with satisfaction: “Come, dine with me, you haven’t eaten with me for a long time.”

Knox didn't refuse, sat down opposite Jacob, picked up the cutlery and started eating.

He was worried that Jacob would ask about the S-class female, but fortunately Jacob did not mention it, which made him feel relieved.

As for Anrita, she felt inexplicably uneasy as soon as Knox left.

Perhaps out of her sixth sense, she was silent for a moment and felt that it was better to be cautious.

Knox was too naive. He couldn't even see through Jacob's character. He didn't even know that he had opened a research institute and was arresting people for research.

She didn't believe Knox's words that no one would come in. After hesitating for a moment, Anita turned off the light in the room, quietly walked out of the house, and went around to the back.

Knox's house is on the outskirts of town, with a small hill behind it.

Jacob's pirate group is mostly composed of marine orcs, so she definitely won't hide in the water.

After much thought, she found a big tree, climbed up the tree by pulling the vines and hid there.

In short, she would not go down until Knox came back.

Soon, her premonition came true.

With her powerful S-level mental power, she keenly sensed that there were five or six strange males approaching the house from dozens of meters away.

Anrita held her breath nervously. She now had strong mental power, and the mental power of the males here could not match hers.

However, the female's mental power is mainly used for comfort and treatment, and cannot be used for direct attack, which makes her feel helpless.

She quickly gathered her mental strength, trying to merge herself with the tree and hide her aura.

It wasn't long before several large males arrived at Knox's house.

Their mental powers were all above level B. Anrita guessed that these people were probably Jacob's confidants.

They left one person at the door to keep watch, while the other five quietly opened the door and sneaked into the house.

But soon, they came out with annoyed faces.

One of them complained, "Damn it, there's no one in there! Where did that little female go?"

Several people were irritated and flustered, guessing one after another.

"Knox just went to see the leader. Did he bring the person over directly?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? Didn't we just see him enter the villa alone?"

"It's over. Did the little female run away? Where could she go in the middle of the night?"

"Stop talking nonsense and search separately! Hurry!"

The six males spread out and searched around, with the house as the center.

One of the males walked towards Anritsu. As he got closer, Anritsu's heart beat faster and faster, and she hugged the tree trunk tightly with her hands in nervousness.

When the male passed by the tree, he suddenly noticed something strange. In the night, he sniffed gently, then suddenly raised his head. His eyes, like those of a hungry wolf, which glowed with a faint green light in the darkness, looked straight at Anita.

The male under the tree saw this and laughed loudly: "Haha, so you are here! You are really good at hiding!"

Anita was terrified, her hair standing on end.

Isn’t it said that Jacob’s pirate group is made up of marine orcs?

How did such a guy with a keen sense of smell get in?

This guy has a nose like a dog!

As soon as the male under the tree spotted Anita, he immediately whistled to signal: "Hey, I found her! Here she is!"

When the others heard the signal, they all ran over here.

The males under the tree started climbing the tree directly. They were tall with long arms and legs, and soon they almost reached where Anita was.

Anita was terrified and called out to Knox: "Knox! Help! Knox!"

The male who had climbed up the tree found her like this a little funny. "Don't shout, poor thing! Knox is eating in the chief's villa. He can't hear you."

As a marine creature, Knox has good vision and regenerative abilities, but his hearing is indeed his weakness, which is far less acute than that of the beast-like orcs.
