I won't bother with you anymore
With Jacob's death and Knox seriously injured, the surrounding males began to plot secretly.
They didn't want to harm Knox, but wanted to encourage him to replace Jacob and become the new leader of the pirates.
After all, a powerful pirate group needs a strong leader, and Knox is undoubtedly the right person.
Anita felt complicated as she looked at Knox, who was covered in blood and kneeling motionless on the ruins.
She was kind-hearted and wanted to go up and offer some comfort, but when she thought about how she was kidnapped here by Knox, she felt a little resistant and gave up the idea.
She found a rock in the open space and sat down. At this moment, a male came over and said flatteringly, "Saint Lady, it's a mess here. How about I take you back to your residence to rest?"
The research institute is located in the wilderness, and their residence is in a small town, some distance away.
Anita looked at the male in front of her, then looked at Knox not far away and asked, "Your leader is dead, what are your plans next?"
She knew in her heart that these males did not care about the institute, that was just Jacob's personal opinion.
Most of them come from garbage planets and join the pirate group just to make a living.
Jacob had abandoned the fleet and thousands of his men had fled alone, and the remaining members had long lost their loyalty to him.
Several males looked at Knox and said to Anrita, "Of course we will be loyal to Knox. He will be our leader from now on."
In their opinion, Knox has a stronger bottom line than Jacob and should not abandon his teammates.
Anita looked at everyone without commenting, then continued, "Why don't you go bandage his wound? He's almost bled out."
The male team members were a little confused: "Bandage the wound? Does this...need to be bandaged?"
When they got injured in fights, they relied on their own powerful healing abilities to heal themselves and never thought of bandaging.
Anita was speechless for a while.
Eventually, Knox passed out from his injuries.
Everyone at the institute was detained, leaving only two doctors to treat Knox.
Anita stayed in Knox's room.
Even though Jacob is dead, Anrita doesn't dare leave Knox.
In this base, although the males were respectful to her on the surface, she felt that Knox had a relatively high moral bottom line and was the only person she could rely on at the moment.
The doctors could only treat Knox's injuries and wrapped him in white bandages.
One of the doctors cautiously said to Anrita, "Saint, Knox's mental state is very bad. He had a severe overdose of drugs he inhaled earlier."
The doctors felt a little uneasy, after all, they were the ones who prescribed the medicine, but it was Jacob's order and they dared not disobey.
If they had known Knox would kill Jacob and take his place, they should have diluted the dosage.
Anrita looked at them coldly: "I understand, get out."
She gets angry when she sees these people now.
The doctor nervously wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and hurriedly left the ward.
The fact that Anrita easily knocked down six males with her mental power and even Jacob could not escape had already spread throughout the base. Everyone was very afraid of her, fearing that she would suddenly release her mental power and disrupt their own spiritual sea.
Anrita understood their thoughts, so she stayed with Knox and protected him.
During the two days that Knox was in a coma, she hardly slept a wink. She would take a nap when she was sleepy and was afraid to sleep soundly.
Because she knew that Knox could not die, and she was counting on him to send her back to the main planet.
After the doctor left, only Anita and Knox, who was unconscious and wrapped in bandages, were left in the ward.
Anita sat by the bed, looked at Knox's face exposed outside the bandages, and said softly: "Since you killed Jacob, I will not bother with you."
Anita looked tired. She reached out and gently stroked Knox's face, saying, "How about I help you clear your spiritual sea and you take me back to the main planet?"
She waited for a moment, but Knox naturally didn't respond.
Anita added, "If you don't say anything, I'll take it as your agreement."
As she spoke, she moved her hand to Knox's forehead, separated a trace of her mental power, and slowly probed into his spiritual sea.
As expected, Knox's spiritual sea is like a vast ocean, very similar to Anthony's.
But the sea was not blue, but a shocking scarlet. Standing on a dark reef, looking at the calm sea, Anita felt a little uneasy.
She remembered that Anthony's spiritual sea was full of storms and tsunamis. Sailors often say, "Though strong winds and waves are terrible, calm waters are even more terrifying."
At this moment, it was so quiet that there was no sound, not even a trace of wind. This silence was unsettling.
Anita looked down at the scarlet water beneath the reef, feeling uneasy.
She stood on the rocks and nervously called out, "Knox! Knox! Where are you?"
Under normal circumstances, male orcs who have not completely lost control have a main consciousness deep in their spiritual sea, which is a projection of their own consciousness.
Knox must be here, but I don't know where he is hiding.
Anita called out a few times, but the sea remained calm and Knox did not appear.
She was a little worried. Could it be that because of Jacob's matter, Knox had shut himself off?
Anita sat on the rocks and said to the sea: "Knox, if you don't come out, I'm leaving."
She tried to keep her voice calm and gentle, "You said you would protect me and wouldn't let anyone bully me, but now you're avoiding me. If that's the case, there's no need for me to stay."
As she said this, she stood up and pretended to leave.
Suddenly, there was a "splash" sound behind her, and the surrounding sea water instantly turned from red to blue. Huge splashes of water hit her face, and Anrita was soaked all over.
She turned around hurriedly and saw Knox emerging from the water, one hand resting on the reef. He raised his head and stared at her with his deep eyes, deep and depressing.
Anita squatted down, looked at Knox who had emerged from the water, and said, "Knox, you finally came out."
She reached out and gently stroked Knox's cheek, whispering, "Send me back to the main planet. You're the only one I trust."
Knox's eyes were empty and lifeless, so calm that it was a little scary, as if all his emotions were deeply buried.
Looking at him like this, Anrita thought to herself that Knox must have suffered a great blow.
But she couldn't understand how Knox, with his honest and dull character, could have the courage to kill Jacob with his own hands.
After all, in her impression, Knox always remembered Jacob's life-saving and raising grace, and respected him almost as a father. Even if Jacob schemed against her and sent her to be a stud, she should not be so angry.
