Augmenters primarily regulate the body and have a much milder effect than inducers, taking time to work. But no matter how mild or slow–acting it was, on a young and already virile male, it was like throwing gas over fire.

+23)

Jaws felt something was off with his body. He grabbed his subordinate’s collar with a dangerous smile. “What the hell did you make me drink?”

The subordinate’s gaze darted around nervously as he handed over another identical Augmenter. “Uh, this... this one...”

Seeing how strongly Jaws was reacting, he realized he might have made a huge mistake. If Jaws really did have a condition, there was no way it would’ve kicked in this fast.

“Are you working for Black Mamba to get revenge on me?” Jaws narrowed his eyes, scrutinizing the loyal subordinate.

The subordinate frantically shook his head. “Of course not!”

Seeing that he wasn’t lying, Jaws let out a cold huff and released him. “Don’t take matters into your own hands again.”

Augmenters didn’t have an antidote. The heat spreading through Jaws‘ body grew stronger and harder to endure.

Jaws felt his breath turn hot. Unlike usual, he didn’t dare get too close to Nyx, keeping a safe distance for fear of losing control.

He finally understood just how absurdly strong Black Mamba’s self–control was.

Nyx shot him a curious glance, wondering why he was behaving so oddly today.

“Stop looking at me.” Jaws‘ voice was hoarse.

Just a few extra glances from Nyx were already too much for him to handle.

“Huh?” Nyx frowned, confused.

‘Fine. Whatever,‘ She thought. She rolled her eyes at him and focused on eating her meal.

Jaws was never much of a cook–or rather, he had never stepped foot in a kitchen before.

But after investigating Nyx and learning how picky she was, he had made an effort to learn, and his cooking was now good enough that she actually ate it.

He watched as she finished her meal. “Done?”

When Nyx nodded, he picked up her plate and ate her leftovers.

For some reason, Nyx got the feeling that Jaws was exuding pure frustration today.

Even the way he used her utensils and ate her leftovers carried an oddly sensual energy. It was like what he really wanted to devour wasn’t the food–but her.

Nyx shivered slightly and instinctively scooted farther away before getting up to leave the room.

Now that they were back in his territory, Jaws had eased up on keeping her under strict watch, letting her roam around freely.

Nyx wandered the area, observing her surroundings, and found that it was nothing like she had imagined.

It wasn’t as advanced as the Advanced Planet, but it also wasn’t as chaotic and desolate as the Desolate Planet. Surprisingly, 1/4 06:57 Sat, 22 Feb ST.

יד Chapter 153 even many elderly people had settled here.

Life here wasn’t exactly peaceful–hot–headed Space Pirates often got into arguments and scuttles- things exer spiraled out of control. When needed, the enforcers stepped in to maintain order, Under Jaws‘ iron–fisted rule, Crimson Sands was a chaotic yet structured place, Unlike when she was on the Desolate Planet, Nyx didn’t feel the need to keep herself completely covered, she boldly lesber face be seen and breathed in the fresh air.

Seeing the legendary SSS–level female out in the open, the Space Pirates practically drooled at the syr but des doce the line, only whispering among themselves.

Before long, Jaws appeared, keeping a measured distance behind Nyx.

Instantly, even the hushed murmurs ceased.

Sensing the change, Nyx turned to look at Jaws.

The sunlight bathed her in a warm glow, making her already gentle features look even softer and more radiant Jaws couldn’t resist reaching out to touch her. But just before his fingers made contact, Nyx suddenly spoke, berdings heart cold, “I want to see Kian. You promised.”

Jaws‘ hand paused midair. A bitter wave of jealousy churned in his chest, but in the end, he could only lower his bed in reluctant surrender. “Fine.”

It was just a brief meeting. It was no big deal for him. Or so he told himself. But watching Nyx immediately rush into Kiat’s arms and cling to him tightly, Jaws couldn’t sit still.

He tortured himself by staring at them, but after a few minutes, he couldn’t take it anymore.

“Alright, I swear I won’t hurt him anymore.” He hastily pulled Nyx away.

At this point, the one suffering wasn’t Black Mamba–it was him.

To divert Nyx’s attention away from Black Mamba, Jaws took the initiative and said, “I can take you to see Black Mamba’s father.”

Just as Jaws had said, Kian’s father was living in a pretty good environment–much better than when he was held at the Supervision Office.

When he saw Nyx, the middle–aged male’s expression became complicated. “It’s you?”

He knew exactly who Nyx was–the only SSS–level female in the Empire, the one who had saved Kian’s life, and the person Kian had feelings for.

‘But why is she here?‘ Kian’s father thought.

“Did that brat Kian do something to you?” He looked devastated.

He had always blamed himself for Kian becoming a Space Pirate. If it weren’t for him dragging Kian down, Kian wouldn’t have ended up on this path.

It was only after realizing that Kian had never crossed the line–that he only killed those who deserved it and never harmed the innocent–that he finally came to accept reality.

But this time, Kian had actually gone and abducted a female.

06:57 Sat, 22 Feb ST.

Chapter 153 ‘No matter how much he likes her, this isn’t the way, thought Kian’s father.

“N–no, that’s not it!” Nyx quickly denied.

She shook her head frantically, and then glared angrily at Jaws, who was enjoying the show from the sidelines.

Before Nyx could completely blow up, Jaws admitted his crime with a slight bow. “It wasn’t Black Mamba. It was me.”

Kian’s father froze, momentarily speechless. After spending some time here, he had realized that this Space Pirate leader wasn’t as vicious as the rumors claimed.

Jaws had a strange personality and liked going against the Empire, but he never killed indiscriminately. In fact, he kept a tight leash on the troublemakers under his command.

“Why would you do something like this?” asked Kian’s father.

Jaws didn’t answer.

In a daze, Kian’s father suddenly recalled that Jaws was an SS–level male with an extremely high Loss of Control Index. Jaws was probably desperate for Nyx’s Mental Soothing, which was why he resorted to such drastic measures.

As someone who had suffered from loss of control himself, Kian’s father could understand Jaws to some extent. After a long silence, he let out a sigh.

Things had already come to this–he could only hope Jaws wouldn’t make things too hard for Nyx. Unable to hold back, Kian’s father started lecturing the Space Pirate leader about the Empire’s view on how males should treat their mates.

The Space Pirates usually just scoff at this.

Jaws, however, put on a humble act, nodding repeatedly. “Got it. I’ll listen to her, no problem.”

Nyx was rendered speechless.

She firmly shoved Jaws aside and said to Kian’s father, “Can you shift into your beast form? I’ll use Mental Soothing on you.”

Kian’s father hesitated at her words.

Males tend to be extremely possessive of their mates. Even in the Empire, no matter how high a male’s status was, he still had to compete for favor. Meanwhile, a Space Pirates leader could do whatever he wanted, keeping any captives he caught all to himself.

‘As Jaws‘ female, is Nyx really allowed to use Mental Soothing on another male?‘ Kian’s father glanced at Jaws cautiously, thinking.

To his surprise, Jaws didn’t object at all. Instead, Jaws indulged Nyx completely.

After confirming multiple times that Jaws was okay with it, a Black Mamba slightly different from Kian appeared before Nyx.

The black mist gradually faded away. Nyx let out a deep breath and smiled faintly.

Watching that rare smile, Jaws couldn’t bring himself to look away. He loved that she smiled.

Even after saying goodbye to Kian’s father and returning to her room, Nyx still had that smile on her face.

Seeing her in such a good mood, Jaws got excited, eager to score a little reward.
