Chapter 160

Chapter 160 “How have you been feeling these past few days? Have you lost control?” Nyx asked, worried that Jaws hadn’t appeared because he had lost control.

Jaws was taken aback by her concern. “You’ve suddenly become so gentle with me. I’m not used to it.”

He didn’t answer Nyx’s question directly, shaking his head and teasing her.

Nyx lowered her head, biting her lip.

After learning about Jaws‘ past, she couldn’t bring herself to be angry with him. She felt deeply sorry for what he’d been through.

Jaws smiled, gazing at Nyx, “Actually, you’re really cute when you get mad at me.”

“Don’t bite yourself; bite me instead.” He raised his hand and gently stroked Nyx’s cheek.

Nyx couldn’t help but grind her teeth.

If Jaws would just stop saying those flirtatious things, she wouldn’t have to be so harsh with him.

After thinking for a moment, she adjusted her mood and said seriously, “There’s something I need to clear up. I’m not an experiment. I don’t have the X–shaped mark on me. You’ve checked.”

“Hmm?” Jaws raised an eyebrow. “I don’t really remember; can I check again?”

“No, you can’t.” Nyx’s hard–earned composure shattered in an instant.

“Okay. I know you don’t have the experiment mark,” Jaws laughed as he successfully made Nyx flustered, and then shifted the topic back on track.

“If you think you’re not an experiment, and then be it, but you must still take those medicines on time.”

Nyx insisted, “I’m really not.”

“Alright, I know. You’re not,” Jaws said indulgently, coaxing Nyx, but clearly not believing her.

He was incredibly stubborn; once he believed something, it was hard to change his mind.

Nyx argued a bit more, unsure what to do with him.

She hesitated, and then reached for a button, only to slowly withdraw her hand. “Next time we meet, I’ll prove it to you in person.”

Jaws didn’t think much about how she would prove it. He was focused entirely on the fact that Nyx wanted to meet him again.

Jaws‘ emotions stirred, and he really wanted to lean in and kiss Nyx, but he didn’t want to use this bionic body to get too close to her, his beloved little female.

“Next time we meet, I’m going to kiss you.” He held back, his red eyes locking onto Nyx with a predatory desire.

Nyx blushed and remained silent.

As a special prisoner, Jaws‘ bionic did not appear in the official photos However, somehow, the news leaked out, along with a few blurry photos as evidence.

5 1 Chapter 160 Before long, someone managed to track down Jaws‘ damaged spaceship. He thought, ‘Has Jaws really been captured by the Empire?‘

The intel spread rapidly across every faction of the Space Pirates.

In the shadows, restlessness grew–everyone was itching to make a move.

Whoever could take over and absorb Jaws‘ forces would become the new boss. The temptation was too great, and when greed took over, caution was bound to slip.

At Crimson Sands, Jaws temporarily cut off contact with the bionic, reviewed intelligence on the movements of other Space Pirates factions, and began happily drafting battle plans.

The bait was successfully cast, and the stupid ones were starting to poke their heads out. It was time for the catch.

“Black Mamba,” Jaws called Kian over and assigned him an important task.

Kian’s expression was a bit complicated. “Do you trust me?”

He was shocked when he learned that Jaws had sent Nyx back to the Empire. He couldn’t believe it until he saw the Empire’s official announcement of it.

According to Kian’s expectations, once Jaws sent Nyx away without hesitation, he’d come after Kian, dealing with him as a traitor.

But unexpectedly, Jaws acted like nothing had happened and continued to use him as he always had.

“Why wouldn’t I trust you?” Jaws chuckled, shaking his head. “Every task I’ve given you, you’ve completed brilliantly. We need to clean up all that trash to ensure Nyx’s safety.”

Richa wasn’t the only one who had his eye on Nyx. They had to nip any potential dangers in the bud.

By eliminating all the other Space Pirates and consolidating all the factions, he’d have more power to protect Nyx.

“It’s all for her protection,” Jaws said calmly. “You can do this, right, Black Mamba?”

Their falling out had been for Nyx. And now, for Nyx, they were back on the same side.

Jaws raised his hand into a fist. Kian paused for a moment, and then extended his own fist and bumped it against Jaws.

***

Central Planet had a few days of light rain, but finally, it was greeted with a sunny day.

On this clear, bright day, Nyx moved into her new home.

After receiving Beast God’s blessing and marking her, she and her male mates had crossed from being in a romantic relationship to becoming formal mates.

Naturally, they had to live together. Though the Marshal’s manor was large, it wasn’t quite right for them. So, they built a new estate, registered under her name, as their shared new home.

On moving day, Xivar showed up with a huge pile of mech parts, ready to customize Nyx’s mech as a housewarming gift. Since Nyx had been abducted, Xivar had been suffering from insomnia, and that had sparked a lot of new ideas. Looking at Xivar’s large dark circles, Nyx couldn’t help but sigh. “Is nourishing oatmeal not working anymore?”

Chapter 160 “It’s ne,” Nivar chuckled. “After you came back, I’ve been good?

Her insomnia was due to a mental strain she couldn’t stop worrying about flyx, and the constant overthinking, made it impossible for her to sleep. Once she confirmed Nyx was safe and sound, her insomnia naturally disappeared, Nyx gave her another thorough cheek, and seeing that she was indeed looking, okay, she finally relaxed, After a satisfying meal, Xivar energetically toured the manor, teasing Hyx, “This new place is huge, is it for raising kids later?”

“Actually, you probably won’t get pregnant soon,” she said, rubbing Nyx’s soft belly, “Your genes are too advanced. The higher the level, the harder it is to have kids,”

“I’ve been married for over ten years and still don’t have kids, and I’m just a D–level female; var sighed deeply, “But your mate seems really capable, so maybe you’ll be pregnant soon” Before Xivar could finish, Nyx’s face flushed brija red, and Xivar couldn’t help but laugh, “I was just joking. Ahhh! No tickling!”

Such playful sounds were heard clearly by the males, and their expressions were subtly awkward. They didn’t have much of an expectation about having kids–whatever happened, happened–but they couldn’t help but imagine the process.

In their prime, with the female they loved right there, it was easy for their minds to wander, In the Empire, these things were supposed to be led by the female, and the male couldn’t bring them up. But considering Nyx didn’t know about the Empire’s customs, the males boldly decided to try and test the waters, Late at night, after Nyx finished her bath, she found all her mates were in her bedroom.

With so many nervous and expectant gazes on her, she realized something felt off and clenched the sleeves of her clothes.
