Chapter 140

A group of subordinates rushed in, their faces pale with alarm. “Richa, we’re under attack!”

Richa didn’t need them to say it–he could already feel the tremors from the impact.

His eyes widened in shock. “The Imperial Army?”

How could they have arrived so quickly?

His subordinate shook his head vigorously. “No, it’s not the Imperial Army.”

Just as Richa felt a hint of relief, the next words made his blood run cold. “It’s Jaws‘ subordinate, Black Mamba.”

That name Black Mamba sent a chill through the entire room. Jaws was even more ruthless and terrifying than the Imperial Army–true nightmares.

Not long ago, Adam had been killed by Jaws, his entire faction swallowed whole.

Richa sucked in a sharp breath, his face turning deathly pale.

He no longer had time to deal with Nyx. Without hesitation, he rushed off to face the crisis.

Richa thought, ‘Why did Black Mamba suddenly appear? Could it be that Griffin’s death has been leaked? Is Jaws planning to take this chance to eradicate us?‘

For the Space Pirates, Jaws was far more terrifying than the Empire. And Black Mamba, Jaws‘ most formidable enforcer, was the very embodiment of fear.

Richa didn’t want to die too miserably.

He was already weighing his options by thinking, ‘Should I surrender, flee, or offer up the SSS–level female as a bargaining/ chip?‘

As he was contemplating, he suddenly felt a chill in his chest. Staring down in shock, he saw his body sway violently before crashing to the ground.

Inside the room, Nyx furrowed her brows. She still felt weak all over, but if she didn’t escape now, she was afraid it would be too late to do so.

Just as she struggled to lift herself up, the ship jolted once more, making her stumble and fall forward.

Suddenly, a pair of strong, steady arms caught her, wrapping tightly around her waist.

Nyx panicked. She struggled to push away, attempting to unleash her psychic suppression again, but then a somewhat familiar voice reached her ears. “Don’t be afraid.”

Nyx froze. Only then did she realize that the person holding her was being extremely careful, as if he had no intention of harming her.

“Who are you?” asked Nyx.

The male wore protective gear that obscured his face and did no respond.

“Kian Linden?” Nyx ventured a bold guess.

Hearing his name spoken from the lips of his beloved female, Kan trembled.
