Chapter 118
Rex had troublesome cargo this time.
He covered the wound on his shoulder, walked to the control panel with a grimace, and entered a contact number.
Together with a few brothers, I forced the Omega we were targeting into a desperate situation. I didn't expect that the remaining bodyguard was so good at fighting. If he didn't have weapons other than the paralysis needle in his hand, which could have held him hostage at this moment, I think he would have been in trouble this time.
Thinking of his mortal enemy's smug look after the mission failed, Rex couldn't help but grit his teeth. While anxiously waiting for the communication to be connected, he called up the photos he had taken in advance, intending to test the tone of the big moneybag's offer.
"Hello?"
The hoarse and unclear voice was obviously processed by a voice changer. Rex quickly cleared his throat and said happily, "Mission accomplished. This Omega has not been marked yet. He looks good."
"Oh? Do you have a photo?" The other party really took the bait and paused before saying, "Have you investigated their background in advance?"
"I checked in advance. He's not from any of the nobles in the nearby galaxies. He probably doesn't have a high status."
In addition to the bodyguard being extremely vicious, the black-haired oriental girl had a pretty face, but her temperament and demeanor were far inferior to those great nobles Rex had met locally. Moreover, she also knew Ivan - Rex had a vague understanding of Ivan's background. He was an old acquaintance of this kind of person, and probably his identity was not something that could be presented to the public.
Rex also staked out the other party these days and found that the other party had been staying in the hotel, which further confirmed his judgment.
Rex sent the photo, rubbed his hands, and said with a flattering smile, "This time, in order to catch this Omega, my brother and I were injured. You see..."
"Thank you for your hard work. I will give you some more compensation."
The other person was inattentive and seemed to be attracted by the photo.
Rex choked and racked his brains for a moment. Just as he was about to speak, the robotic voice on the other end suddenly changed its tone, becoming so stern that it practically revealed a coldness. "Where is this Omega now? You just mentioned a difficult bodyguard. Is that bodyguard with her now?"
"They're all... in the warehouse inside the cabin." Rex swallowed, confused about the situation. "That Alpha was too difficult to deal with. Luckily, we knocked the target unconscious and tricked him into thinking we were using drugs. He gave in just to get the antidote."
"What does it look like? Describe it in detail, quickly!"
"Black hair, brown eyes, very tall," Rex didn't dare to delay and quickly recalled, "and also has a special ability, which seems to make the body hard..."
"idiot!!"
The mechanical voice suddenly exploded with rage, "It would be fine if you knocked the Omega unconscious and brought him here, but why did you bring him here?!"
Rex was about to cry, but he couldn't. He explained, "That only works if we can beat him. He's beaten several of our brothers half to death. If he hadn't taken the initiative to go aboard and get a paralysis injection to get medicine, we might have failed this time."
"They're already on the boat, and they're dizzy. We can sell them for some money if we take them with us..."
A strong and healthy Alpha can also fetch a high price on the black market, and Rex's thoughts are clear at a glance.
"You've already failed."
The mechanical voice completely lost its patience with this foolish mind and said coldly, "You'd better go out and see your injured brothers and have one last look with them. Don't let this matter implicate me. I remember when you begged me for this job, you voluntarily set the self-destruct level on this spacecraft..."
"...What do you mean?"
Rex's teeth were chattering and his voice was dazed.
He didn't understand what was going on, but the person on the other side knew it perfectly well. If Rex was a subordinate he trusted and was communicating with him through holographic communication, he would be able to see the gloomy-faced male Alpha standing in front of the communication channel, with silver hair that symbolized the inheritance of the Sturga bloodline.
Among the many subsidiary stars of Sturga, Shane is a member of the branch bloodline that rules the star Nigul. His father has been busy negotiating with the heirs from the main family these days. Shane is the second son and cannot accompany his father to deal with these matters like his eldest sister, but for some reason he has also paid attention to the visitor information of the main family.
Noah Sturga's trial marriage partner, and that Hugh Hoffman——
Shane was silent, his face grim. Suddenly, a scream came from the other end of the communicator. He was startled, then secretly sneered inwardly. Rex was such a fool. He had kidnapped someone and brought that Xiu with him. Even if he had been injected with a paralysis needle, it would have mattered. The guards of the master's family had been exposed to various drugs and even drugs since childhood...
He followed them onto the ship, most likely to ensure the safety of Noah's trial marriage candidate - Resk had injected another drug into the Omega's body, and lied to him that he was the only one who had the antidote. Regardless of whether it was true or not, Xiu Hoffman had to confirm it before he could guarantee the Omega's safety.
What's more, he has the absolute strength to get out of the current situation.
"Stop hitting me... Stop..."
The control room was littered with debris and blood.
Rex begged for mercy, and then there was the sound of another punch to the flesh and a scream. He was smashed into the display screen with merciless force, and the clear sound of shattering was transmitted to his ears through the Internet.
"Who are you communicating with?"
The boy asked in a cold and deep voice. Rex gasped twice, as if the other party was about to raise his fist to hit him again. He quickly begged for mercy: "I, I don't know either. Stop it..."
Shane was startled and realized that something was wrong.
Rex's ship had been modified by him, and the communication page would not be displayed on the screen. Xiu asked this, obviously having heard their conversation just now.
The paralysis had little effect on Xiu. He had already been lurking outside the door and might have heard his reply.
"Where is your usual delivery location, what is the contact number, and what are his preferences and characteristics?"
Rex was shaken by the violent beating: "I, I remember..."
Shane was furious, not caring that Xiu would hear his roar: "Rex, how dare you!"
"What are you afraid of?"
Xiu snorted sarcastically, and Shane could almost imagine the bloodthirsty look on his face, like a devil. When he was a child, Shane had seen him from afar on the hunting grounds of the family banquet. The black-haired and brown-eyed guard was already very tall at that time. Under the gaze of more than a dozen young people, he beat a monster to death with his fists.
Blood soaked his head and clothes, but he remained unmoved. Across the distant time, piercing through the noise and virtual lines, just like then, the Alpha, a hundred times more terrifying than Warcraft, cast its cold and bloodthirsty gaze on him.
"Your reaction just now was quite interesting," Xiu said, and then he punched Rex again out of boredom. "Do you know me?"
"Since you're connected to the black market and appear to be a repeat offender, you're probably a noble, perhaps... a noble I know.
Wait until he reveals some more information, and then, guess what, I might be able to find you?"
Shane broke out in a cold sweat.
By the time I realized what was happening, he had already hung up the phone.
Nigul is a transit station connecting several surrounding planets. Due to its convenient transportation, the transportation industry has developed rapidly. With the tacit approval of the local nobles, not only has the open trading market flourished in recent years, but the black market has also been thriving. Population/transactions account for the bulk of the black market trade volume, and the auction and resale of Omega are even more profitable.
As the young master of a branch of Sturga, it seemed only natural for Shane to get involved and take a share of the black market.
But this matter is known to heaven and earth, and it must never be known to the main family. Selling Omegas is a serious crime in the Federation. This time, the trial marriage candidate of the main family's heir was almost kidnapped. If his identity is discovered by Xiu, Shane believes that he will never have a good ending.
With his capable elder sister weighing heavily on his head, his hope of inheriting the family business was already very slim. A few days ago, because his master's family responded to Heinrich's "Military Talent Transfer Regulations", he lost the opportunity to join the military.
How can a person’s life hit rock bottom repeatedly...!
Sweat dripped from Shane's forehead and his palms trembled slightly.
—We must not let Hugh Hoffman find him.
Shane took out the controller of Rex's spaceship with a pale face, his muscles shaking involuntarily. He originally wanted to wait until Xiu escaped before sending the destruction command to prevent Rex from saying anything bad. After all, only the dead can make people feel at ease.
...But at this moment, he knew very well in his heart that once he pressed the button, there would be no turning back.
Shi Yu woke up dazedly from the heat.
Alarms sounded from all directions, and red warning lights flashed and swayed. While she was stunned, Xiu suddenly grabbed her collar and shoved her into his arms, and took her quickly towards an exit.
"Xiu...me."
She murmured blankly, as if she had not yet come to her senses. Xiu looked down at her and found that her face was still a little red. He frowned, took out a syringe from his pocket, and gave her an injection quickly.
"ah……!"
Shi Yu cried out in pain, twisting in his arms and trying to break free from him.
Xiu hugged her tighter, pushed the medicine in with his fingertips, and whispered in her ear, "You were just injected with something. I've tried the medicine myself and it has no negative effects. It might be the antidote."
"It won't be so uncomfortable in a while, just bear with it."
Shi Yu felt weak all over, and she hugged his shoulders and sobbed softly like a child who didn't want an injection.
The spacecraft's self-destruct program has been activated. Xiu has observed the terrain in advance and the spacecraft has reached the edge of Nigul. The terrain is open and an emergency landing is possible, but there is not enough time.
He took out the landing equipment from the crew room, disassembled it expressionlessly, and quickly and orderly wrapped himself and Shi Yu together, holding Shi Yu to his chest with one hand. He stared at the sea of clouds below, squinting his eyes to judge the distance.
Nine thousand meters... still a long way to go.
There are only fifteen minutes left in the self-destruct sequence.
Shi Yu was rubbing against his shoulder unconsciously, but Xiu didn't pay attention. Knowing that she was still upset, he patted her back like a kitten. Unexpectedly, the crying Omega really arched her back slightly like a kitten that was happy about it, and her soft black hair stood up slightly as if an electric current had passed through it.
Xiu's arm stiffened slightly.
The Alpha's intuition made his fingertips move down and gently stroke the girl's spine. Shi Yu whimpered vaguely and opened her mouth to bite his shoulder.
"Is it uncomfortable or not?"
Xiu lifted her chin with his knuckles, looked at her tearful face, and suddenly laughed.
Shigure couldn't answer.
The air currents at high altitudes blew away the rich smell of strawberries. Xiu knew that this was not the right time, so he lowered his head and bit the soft neck in front of him with the tip of his teeth. After getting a slight tremor from the other party, he put the safety hood on Shi Yu's head.
Shigure has no memory of his first extreme high-altitude skydiving.
When she woke up again, it was drizzling in the endless wilderness. She lay on Xiu's back with her limbs sore, and her body was bumped along with the boy's movements.
The hem of her skirt was wet and sticky. Besides the rain water, Shi Yu also saw thick and large bloodstains.
She was so confused that she didn't react for a moment, and rubbed the hard back against her chest: "Xiu...blood?"
There is no pain on his body. All the bloodstains are from Xiu's clothes. Is he injured?
Xiu Qing hissed, and with force, he lifted her up. Even though he knew that Shi Yu wasn't asking about that, he still replied calmly, "I haven't found a place yet. Let's talk about it later."
Shi Yu: ""
"I don't have the habit of exposing myself in the wild. Let's find a hotel and solve your problem."
Shigure: “……?!!”
The author has something to say:
My first reaction: You’re lying! You were completely naked when we first met, and you didn’t put on any clothes for a long time!
Countdown to the end~
