Lu Zhizhao followed Xue Yinhuan with a grim face and left the smelly metal cell.
As a spaceship that had just been invaded, the situation outside was quite calm and everything was in good order. The pirates were quickly subdued and stuffed into the cells they had previously used to torture and detain hostages. The unlucky prisoners were released and were registered according to the instructions...
To the well-trained Viper Warriors, even the famous large-scale star pirate force in Area 48 is nothing more than a vulnerable mob.
Seizing the spaceship and controlling all the pirates, everything was so easy, as if it was just in line with the code name of this operation, "Spring Outing".
The only thing they need to pay attention to in this mission is that one of the hostages captured by the pirates is the young master of the Lu family.
Xue Yinhuan obviously has his own opinion on this matter——
"Master Lu, you are really lucky this time. This group of space pirates is notorious in District 48. I heard that they treat hostages very cruelly. There are several young masters who are self-righteous and don't listen to advice. They were made into eunuchs and sold to the human circus in Sagittarius... If that's the case, things are really terrible."
There was a subtle hint of regret in Viper's tone.
"And it just happened to be this time, and it happened to be our boss who led the team personally. Look, the pirates were dealt with in an instant, and the timing was just right. Master Lu, you were unharmed and just managed to escape a disaster--"
"I don't need your rescue at all."
As a certain poisonous snake kept chattering in a particularly sarcastic tone, Lu Zhizhao's expression became increasingly ugly. He suddenly stopped and stared at Xue Yinhuan viciously.
"They are just ordinary pirates. I can handle them myself."
A certain young master said grimly.
However, facing the intense anger bursting out from Lu Zhizhao, Xue Yinhuan's first reaction was to take a few steps back.
Then he pinched his nose.
"Oh, sorry, sorry, I didn't mean to hurt anyone. Um, Master Lu, could you please step back a few steps? You may have been in that cell for a long time, so you don't feel it, but the smell in that cell is too bad, and you..."
"you--"
Faced with such obvious provocation, the blood in Lu Zhizhao's eyes spread again.
The uncontrollable murderous intent was like a wild beast, roaring and screaming in his heart.
But just when Lu Zhizhao was about to lose control. A black figure appeared at the other end of the corridor.
The person coming is the Black Mamba. This man, who was much calmer than his colleagues, frowned and glanced at Lu Zhizhao, whose aura was obviously not right.
He nodded slightly, saluted to the young master of the Lu family, and then turned his gaze to Xue Yinhuan.
"Don't be too lax, Yinhuan. Don't forget, we are still on a mission." Black Mamba reminded, "Later, the boss is in the central control room, and he wants to see Master Lu."
"All right."
After hearing the Black Mamba's warning, Xue Yinhuan muttered in disappointment, and instantly restrained his lazy and playful look.
He ignored Lu Zhizhao's murderous gaze, and took Lu Zhizhao directly to the central control center of the dilapidated spacecraft with a serious face.
As the metal door slowly slid open, the man who stood out among the crowd but still stood out from the crowd suddenly came into Lu Zhizhao's sight.
The extremely cold and sharp figure, like that of cold iron, made Lu Zhizhao's breathing begin to speed up.
In that extremely realistic nightmare, it was this person who took Su Liang's body away in front of him.
No, that's not right. It was just a nightmare. Su Liang is fine now. Su Liang is not dead yet... Lu Zhizhao kept telling himself this and it took him a long time to barely maintain his composure.
The S-level Alpha aura and the extremely distinct aura of resistance and vigilance were too obvious.
Lu Taipan signed the document handed over by his subordinates with an expressionless face, then raised his head and looked at his nominal nephew with a slightly frown.
Although in reality he did take the initiative and rescued Lu Zhizhao from the space pirates, but at this moment when he saw his nephew whom he had rescued with his own hands, Lu Taipan's attitude seemed particularly indifferent.
"Lu Zhengen sent me a lot of communications. He is very dissatisfied with your behavior this time."
Lu Taipan said.
As soon as he heard Lu Zhengen's name, the experience of being constantly oppressed and urged to get married by his father instantly came to Lu Zhizhao's mind.
Lu Zhizhao seemed to be able to hear the sound of the string called "reason" in his brain suddenly breaking.
"My father? Why, have you also received orders from my father to hunt me down?"
Lu Zhizhao spoke sarcastically, his face full of resentment and boredom.
As soon as he finished speaking, he felt that many people in the central control room were looking at him in surprise.
"Wow, so this is what a broken brain looks like..."
Lu Zhizhao even heard the poisonous snake named Xue Yinhuan behind him mumbling in a low voice, which he deliberately wanted to hear clearly.
The next moment, Lu Zhizhao came back to his senses, and the blood color on his face gradually faded.
He also realized his own stupidity.
For so many years, Lu Taipan has been living in seclusion, and it is because of this that Lu Zhengen has stepped into the spotlight. As the son of Lu Zhengen, Lu Zhizhao has been able to call the shots in the Lu family for so many years that sometimes, Lu Zhizhao would have a strange illusion that he really has a high status and that everyone can obey his orders.
Under the impact of this illusion, there would occasionally be a moment when Lu Zhizhao would forget that no matter how powerful the Lu family was, in reality, it was just a vassal of the Snake Cave. The man in front of him could easily order his father to do things, but conversely, Lu Zhengen would never be able to command Lu Taipan.
In front of Lu Taipan, Lu Zhengen is just a dog that has to tuck its tail between its legs and be cautious. Because as long as Lu Taipan is willing, all the power and interests in Lu Zhengen's hands will be wiped out.
Because there is only one "real" Lu family head...
Faced with the offensive words from his juniors, Lu Taipan seemed a little nonchalant.
The extremely cold gaze of the Lord of the Snake Cave paused for only a moment on Lu Zhizhao's face, and then returned to his work.
Lu Taipan lowered his head and continued to deal with many things on the terminal.
After a while, he spoke lightly as if he remembered something.
"Your actions have disrupted the Snake Cave's routine business. I don't want to see something like this happen again."
After saying that, Lu Taipan made a gesture.
Then, Lu Zhizhao found that two Viper warriors came directly to his side and grabbed his arms tightly.
"You, what are you going to do to me?" Lu Zhizhao's face suddenly changed. In panic, he gasped and asked angrily.
And this time Lu Taipan didn't even respond to him.
The only person who responded to Lu Zhizhao was a noisy venomous snake named Xue Yinhuan. ,
"What else can we in the Snake Cave do to you? We are not space pirates who can make you into eunuch puppets and sell you to Sagittarius... We can only take you away and keep you under guard, and then send you back to your worried father. Oh, don't look at me like that. Please, young master, you are also a member of the Lu family now. If you run away again, it will cause us a lot of trouble."
Xue Yinhuan said.
As he spoke, Viper exerted a little force on his hands and was about to take Lu Zhizhao away.
But at this moment, the metal door slid open again, and a slender figure walked quickly into the central control room.
"I checked the Omega hostages abducted by the pirates. Thank God, we arrived in time, and the pirates didn't have time to do any real harm to the hostages. But the Omegas were still severely frightened, and they still have strong resistance to the Alphas. I think I can complete the next task by myself, so as not to cause them any more stimulation..."
Su Liang looked at the data at hand and spoke to the man in the central control room without raising his head.
Although he himself did not realize it at all, to outsiders, it seemed that at this moment, he and Lu Taipan had some qualities that miraculously overlapped.
"Xiaoliang?!"
Seeing the person he had been thinking about day and night suddenly appear in front of him under such circumstances, Lu Zhizhao began to tremble all over.
He called out Su Liang's name in a hoarse voice, in disbelief.
"Why are you here?"
"... Lu Zhizhao?"
Su Liang then turned his head in shock and saw the extremely haggard Alpha youth beside Xue Yinhuan.
If Su Liang had not been with Lu Zhizhao day and night and was very familiar with him, he would almost not have recognized that this untidy, smelly, disheveled young man was the high and mighty eldest master of the Lu family.
"Ah..." For a moment, Su Liang didn't know what expression he should use to face Lu Zhizhao. He hesitated for a moment and showed a polite smile, "You were rescued and are safe and sound. That's great."
Su Liang said.
Before changing the plan and directly raiding the group of space pirates in District 48, Lu Taipan had already informed Su Liang that Lu Zhizhao had been captured.
What was Lu Zhizhao doing in District 48?
Su Liang was a little confused about Lu Zhizhao's behavior. But soon Su Liang thought of his previous life: in that life, when he and Lu Zhizhao eloped, they unknowingly fled to District 48 under the pressure of expulsion and pursuit.
And this time, Lu Zhizhao ran away from home secretly, probably under similar circumstances, and ended up here helplessly. The only thing worth wondering about is that, according to Lu Zhizhao's extremely high self-esteem and his S-level Alpha level, theoretically, he should not be captured by the pirates so easily.
But Su Liang didn’t think too much about these things. After all, Lu Zhizhao had nothing to do with him now. Moreover, Su Liang knew very well that since the Viper already knew that Lu Zhizhao was in the hands of the star pirates, the other party would no longer be in any danger of life. This is enough for Su Liang.
However, Lu Zhizhao was obviously unable to face everything in front of him calmly.
"Why are you here? It's so dangerous here, why are you working with Viper..."
As he spoke, Lu Zhizhao's voice gradually became filled with a hint of ecstasy.
"It's because of me, right? You knew I was in danger, so you came to find me..."
"I knew it, I knew you were thinking about me! Those words you said about breaking up were just words spoken in anger! Xiaoliang, I know, I know it all!"
The muscles on Lu Zhizhao's face were twitching unconsciously because of extreme joy.
Su Liang looked at Lu Zhizhao like this, feeling embarrassed.
He tried hard to organize his sentences in his mind, and just as he was about to open his mouth to explain himself, he heard an unusually gloomy voice from a man beside him.
"He only came here because of the mission. When we set out, he had no idea that you, the young master of the Lu family, would be captured by a mere star pirate."
Lu Taipan said expressionlessly.
The tone is very cold.
"That's right."
Xue Yinhuan responded quickly behind Lu Zhizhao.
But Lu Zhizhao seemed not to understand these words at all. He still stared at Su Liang infatuatedly, his eyes full of fanaticism and desire.
He even looked a little pitiful.
Su Liang couldn't help but sigh when Lu Zhizhao looked at him.
"I'm just here to carry out my mission."
He did not deny what Lu Taipan said.
"My coming here has nothing to do with you. Of course, I am still very happy to see that you were rescued safely by the venomous snakes."
"Mission? Why would they let you go on a mission?"
Su Liang's words were interrupted by Lu Zhizhao.
Lu Zhizhao's expression became more and more ferocious, and his voice gradually became sharper.
"This is where the pirates gather. It's not safe here. How could these people do this to you—"
Lu Zhizhao shouted in disbelief, then he turned and looked at Lu Taipan viciously.
"You forced him to come? How could you let an innocent service member follow you to the battlefield? Do you know that Su Liang is just a beta?"
"What does this have to do with you, Lu Zhizhao?"
Su Liang's voice became cold, and he spoke to Lu Zhizhao without any expression.
Meeting the young man's gaze, the furious Lu Zhizhao was slightly startled. He murmured, "How can it be okay? Xiaoliang, I'm really worried about you, I--"
"He doesn't need your concern."
Lu Taipan spoke stiffly and responded to Lu Zhizhao on behalf of Su Liang.
"He is from the Snake Cave, I will naturally protect him."
After saying that, the man raised his eyes and glanced at Xue Yinhuan, who was originally staring at everything in front of him with wide eyes and great interest. At this moment, he was stabbed by his boss's extremely sharp gaze and immediately reacted with a startle.
"Ah, Master Lu, please come with me. You are a person who has just been rescued from space pirates, so don't think too much. Come on, we will arrange mental treatment for you later. If you take more medicine, your mood will naturally improve."
Xue Yinhuan kept muttering to herself, and was about to use force with her hands to drag the tense Lu Zhizhao away.
Su Liang on the other side ignored Lu Zhizhao. He turned around, followed the snake master obediently and was about to leave.
But this scene appeared in Lu Zhizhao's eyes, and in an instant, nightmare and reality intertwined again.
...a broken coffin.
...The body was carried away in the man's arms.
…My limbs were crushed and I could only lie powerlessly in the ruins, wailing.
…
"No--"
Xue Yinhuan only heard Lu Zhizhao scream, and the next moment, an extremely chaotic and violent high-level Alpha aura suddenly spread out, and crushing pressure instantly pressed down on Xue Yinhuan. Xue Yinhuan's pupils shrank slightly, his face turned cold, he raised his hand and instead of retreating, he moved forward directly towards Lu Zhizhao, but at this time Lu Zhizhao had already broken free from his restraints and rushed towards Su Liang.
"You are mine!"
he shouted wildly.
"Xiaoliang——"
The incident happened so quickly that in just a moment, Lu Zhizhao appeared in front of Su Liang.
He raised his hand and reached directly for Su Liang's arm in an attempt to grab him.
Then……
Lu Zhizhao's body suddenly froze.
The fervent call was completely stuck in his throat, and not even the slightest sound could be uttered.
The pressure that could almost be described as "terrifying" enveloped him, making him completely unable to move.
Cells, bone marrow, nerves...it was as if every tiny biological unit in his body sensed something was wrong and could only shrink and tremble uncontrollably under the chilling cold.
“Hoo…Hoo…Hoo…”
Lu Zhizhao heard his own breathing very clearly.
As rapid as a broken bellows. Even my eyeballs couldn't move, and my vision became increasingly blurry.
However, that dark, cold figure was so clear.
He saw with his own eyes that Lu Taipan, his uncle, raised his hand and pulled Su Liang behind him, then glanced at him arrogantly as if he was the owner of the young man.
"Since when is it your turn to lay your hands on my people?"
