Chapter 157

Chapter 157 ST.

Time ticked away. The figure never got up, “He’s dead?” Nyx’s mind went completely blank.

She thought, ‘No chance to surrender? Just got shot dead like that? Isn’t Jaws supposed to be really strong? How did he not dodge the Neutron Lance?‘

Nyx felt intense shock from head to toe, while her face was burning hot. There wasn’t a shred of joy in her heart, just an empty, hollow feeling.

+23 Her eyes stung like there was sand in them. She raised a hand to rub them when she suddenly heard a familiar, gentle voice behind her. “Are you crying for me?”

In an instant, every weapon turned toward the figure that had just appeared.

Nyx whipped her head around and saw Jaws standing there, completely unharmed, looking at her with a smile in his eyes.

Even with all those weapons aimed at him, Jaws showed no fear at all. Seeing Nyx upset over him, he felt completely satisfied–

like he could die with no regrets.

“A bionic?” Felix narrowed his eyes at Jaws, quickly assessing the situation.

“Sharp eyes, Your Excellency,” Jaws chuckled and nodded.

The relief Nyx had just felt instantly vanished. She thought, ‘If the Jaws standing in front of me is a bionic, and then the one who got killed just now...

“That one was a bionic too; don’t worry.” Jaws walked toward Nyx, wanting to wipe away her tears, but the group of males surrounding her blocked him immediately.

Nyx frowned. She couldn’t tell that the Jaws in front of her was a bionic–just like she hadn’t noticed the one who got killed was a bionic either.

They were way too real. Every movement or word was exactly like the real Jaws.

Jaws could see her confusion and explained, “These two bionics are equipped with the NeuroSync System. I control them remotely myself. You’re not talking to an AI or a pre–programmed response–it’s me.”

Unlike regular bionics, these ones were practically his clones.

Nyx finally understood. She studied the bionic in front of her for a while, making sure Jaws was really alive. Only then did her tension start to ease.

She let out a long breath, her worried expression fading as she ground her teeth a little.

She thought, “This bastard tricked me again. All that sadness just now? A complete waste of emotions.

“Sorry,” Jaws admitted his mistake right away.

He hadn’t told Nyx about the bionics beforehand–not because he didn’t trust her or was afraid she’d try to kill him, but because he’d planned for this exact scene to happen. He wanted to see if she’d feel even a little bit reluctant to lose him. The result was better than he ever expected. He felt an intense rush of happiness, so strong it made his scalp tingle.

“Next time we meet, you can do whatever you want with me.” The once–dominant leader of the Space Pirates willingly bowed his head at the little female’s feet.

06:58 at, 22 Feb Chapter 157 Nyx glared at him. Her expression was fierce, but she didn’t say she never wanted to see him again. That alone mate fakers grin.

He thought, ‘So kind. So adorable.

The surrounding males had complicated feelings. Ever since they found our Nyx had been taken by far they’d be on edge, terrified of what he might do to her.

But they never expected her relationship with him to be like this.

Nyx wasn’t scared of Jaws at all. She even dared to throw a tantrum at him. That meant she hadn’t suffered much at his hands, which was a good thing.

But the fact that she was sad over his ‘death‘ meant she’d developed feelings for the Space Pirate levler had that wa “Nyx.” Theon pulled her into a tight hug.

Losing Nyx had nearly driven him mad with guilt. His eyes were bloodshot from sleepless nights, and his face ma unshaven, rough with stubble.

Nyx had missed her males too during her time away. She wrapped her arms around Theon’s neck, running her fingers through his hair to soothe the big lion. “I’m fine. Don’t worry.”

She didn’t mind his scratchy stubble at all. Smiling, she leaned in and gave him a little kiss.

The smile on Jaws‘ face slowly froze.

If he hadn’t seen Nyx being so soft and affectionate with someone else, he might have been satisfied with the tiny bit of sweetness he got.

But now, the contrast was brutal for him. In an instant, Jaws fell from the heights of happiness straight to the bottom of despair.

“Nyx,” Jaws called her name, mimicking Theon’s tone.

Nyx ignored him, acting like she didn’t hear.

“Nyx.” Jaws tried again.

Before he could call her a third time, something cold pressed against his head. Felix moved in swiftly, cuffing him and locking down his movements.

A bionic wasn’t worth interrogating, but they couldn’t just let him go either–he was still a potential threat.

“Shut up and behave,” Felix warned, completely unbothered.

He thought, ‘Flirting with my female right in front of me? Did Jaws think I am dead or something?

Jaws shrugged and didn’t resist, cooperating fully. He didn’t care what would happen to him–his eyes stayed glued to Nyx. When she finally turned to look at him, he immediately flashed a smile.

Nyx scanned Jaws from head to toe, taking in his handcuffed, pathetic state. For some reason, it felt oddly satisfying She knew he was just a bionic replica, and he had Jaws‘ face, his mannerisms–everything was exactly the same. Still, It was as if the real Jaws had been captured.

She thought, “That infuriating bastard deserves to be locked up tight so he’d finally behave!

“You enjoy seeing me like this?” Jaws saw right through her thoughts.

He sighed dramatically and teased, “As expected of a little pervert. It’s fine. I’m happy to indulge any of your kinks.

Chapter 157 “Bionic bodies don’t feel real enough, though. Next time we meet, you can tie me up instead”

秘密 99%會 #23)

Jaws‘ voice was low and soft, his words carrying a hint of a nasal tone that made them sound dangerously intimate, Nyx’s face turned red, bit by bit.

Jaws quickly paid the price for his loose tongue–a solid punch from Felix.

Since the bionic body was controlled by the NeuroSync System, the pain was transmitted straight to Jaws, making him feel every bit of it.

Just like when the other bionic replica had been shot down–Jaws had experienced its dying agony firsthand.

Nyx suddenly realized this and hurried to stop Felix. “Don’t hit him–stop hitting him.”

Even though she couldn’t help but speak up for Jaws, she didn’t want to see him looking too smug. She turned away and buried her face in Theon’s chest.

Theon shot Jaws a deep, scrutinizing look before carrying Nyx away.

The damaged ship was abandoned, and everyone transferred to the Empire’s warship.

As the starship returned home, news of the successful rescue of the SSS–level female spread throughout the Empire, sparking nationwide celebration.

Official media released photos from the scene–Nyx being held by her males in turns, looking perfectly fine, as if she hadn’t been harmed at all.

Not only was she unharmed, but when her medical report came out, it even gave Zayne a shock.

“Nyx, have you come into contact with anything unusual lately?” asked Zayne.

Compared to her previous records, all of Nyx’s physical stats had nearly doubled.

Nyx suddenly remembered the items Jaws had packed for her in her Space Button. “Jaws injected me with this.”

She took out the vial and a document folder, handing them over to Zayne. “And this file. He said it’s only for people I trust.”

Since Jaws had injected Nyx with an unknown substance, Zayne’s face turned pale. He ignored the folder and rushed to analyze the drug.

After running multiple tests, he let out a sigh of relief–it was a false alarm.

The drug was non–toxic, posed no harm, and only had beneficial effects. In fact, it contained an incredibly rare and expensive ingredient, something practically priceless.

This completely defied Zayne’s expectations.

If Jaws had used this drug on himself, it could have easily saved his life in a near–death situation.

And yet, instead of keeping such a precious life–saving medicine for himself, he’d generously given it to Nyx.

Even if Jaws liked Nyx, there was no reason to go this far.

Nyx had been malnourished and weak in the past, but after careful care, she was already in good health. There was no logical reason for her to need this injection.

06:58 Sat, 22 Feb S Chapter 157 Zayne frowned, his gaze slowly shifting to the document folder.
