The blond man heard the noise behind him but didn’t turn around.
Whether the person was discovered because of him or not was irrelevant to him.
The alpha who had been unfortunately shot lay near the aisle, half-buried on the soft chair, his eyes staying wide open in death.
As he passed by, the blond man’s gaze fell on the corpse.
The kidnapper was about to continue his ransacking with the flight attendant when he suddenly heard a loud crash behind him. He frowned, thinking someone was causing trouble, and turned sharply with his gun in hand— only to see the beautiful omega lying on the ground.
The corpse beside him had been knocked off the chair and was now lying at the omega’s feet.
He was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter: “Can’t move when you see a dead body? How cute.”
The other interstellar kidnappers mocked: “Don’t be afraid, come over here with your brothers. Your fellows omega are here with you.”
The blond man silently stood up and sat down among the omegas.
These omegas had lost all will to resist, each one huddled in a corner, trembling. So the kidnappers had no suspicion of them at all, only placing two men on either side of them, pointing guns at the group of omegas.
However, even without doing so, they didn’t think these defenceless little guys could do anything. After all, the effect of making an example of them had already been achieved.
Lu Ke watched the blond man obediently walk over, somewhat puzzled.
He thought that such a handsome and powerful omega should at least put up some resistance, but he didn’t react at all. It was as if he had resigned himself to his fate, just like Lu Ke.
Afterwards, Bai Yue also came over.
Seeing this, Lu Ke became even more disheartened. In his eyes, the “Imperial First student” were the most outstanding, but now even these two had compromised, what could he do?
His grandmother back home must still think that he had already enrolled and begun his wonderful university life. Who would have thought that her poor grandson had fallen into the trap of human trafficking.
Lu Ke burst into tears.
Bai Yue glanced at the blond man.
This person was obviously faking a fall. With such superb skills, how could he fall down out of thin air? However, his acting was so convincing that he fooled even the interstellar kidnappers, including the female leader.
This man had deliberately torn off the corpse earlier; he was probably investigating something.
Thanks to him, Bai Yue also noticed something amiss.
This kidnapping was likely not as simple as it seemed.
He subtly moved to sit beside the blond man and said softly, “I think we can cooperate.”
His voice was extremely low, and with some of the omegas still crying, it effectively drowned out the noise —except for the blond man who was so close.
He glanced at Bai Yue but didn’t speak.
Bai Yue: “Two people are always easier than one.”
The blond man sat cross-legged, his long fingers resting on his knees. His gaze shifted downwards, landing on Bai Yue’s hands, and he said calmly, “Your hands are beautiful.”
Bai Yue was taken aback, not understanding the meaning behind the man’s sudden remark.
The blond man: “Not a single wound or callus. You must have been spoiled since childhood.”
Only then did Bai Yue notice that although the man’s hands were long, the knuckles were large, and the backs of his hands and fingertips were covered in scars.
Bai Yue’s usual chores were washing clothes and cooking, which were indeed much more meticulous in comparison.
The blond man looked away: “Omega, just stay put.” His tone was icy. “Don’t hold me back.”
With that, he moved away, ending the conversation.
Bai Yue lowered his eyes. He spread his five fingers and looked at his palm.
“…”
He seemed to think of something, then clenched his fist tightly.
In a short while, the small cabin was searched. There weren’t many omegas, about ten or so.
The interstellar kidnappers reported to their leader: “All looted.”
“Good.”
The female leader slammed the sledgehammer to the ground, her palm against the top of the armrest, a smirk playing on her lips.
“Then kill all the useless ones.”
“!!!”
Upon hearing this, the passengers finally reacted.
Although they had been scared before, they weren’t omegas. As long as they didn’t meddle, bad things wouldn’t happen to them.
But now the situation was different. They, the “useless” ones, were going to be killed like this?
They were all students about to enrol, and before leaving, who didn’t harbor hopes and dreams for the future? Now, their young lives were about to wither away here— this was utterly incomprehensible!
The female leader said, “You swine, raise your hands and stand up. It’ll be over in a second; you won’t feel any pain.”
“No, no, don’t joke around!”
The first to speak up was the group with the blond hair. “Why don’t you just take those omegas? What do you want our lives for?!”
“Exactly, exactly,” someone whispered in agreement. “We won’t tell the patrol fleet, just spare our lives.”
The female leader’s tone turned cold: “Don’t make me repeat myself.”
Although her voice wasn’t loud, it carried an incredibly strong sense of oppression.
No one dared to speak, but no one dared to stand up either. They looked at each other, hoping someone would step forward and save them from their predicament.
The female leader’s face grew even colder: “A bunch of useless trash.”
She raised her hand: “Kill them all.”
At her command, more than a dozen interstellar kidnappers raised their laser guns and rushed towards the trembling passengers behind their seats.
Some finally couldn’t bear it any longer and didn’t want to wait to die. With a loud shout, he lunged at the nearest burly man, releasing his pheromones simultaneously.
The attack was so sudden that the kidnapper had no time to react and was immediately pinned to the ground.
“Everyone, attack!” the man shouted, gripping the gun tightly against the man beneath him. “We outnumber them several times over! Are we just standing here waiting to die?!”
With one person making a move, the others began to stir. They released their pheromones and stood up, ready for a desperate fight.
The female leader snorted coldly, remaining rooted to the spot, and released her own pheromones.
Instantly, A-grade pheromones exploded throughout the cabin. Like a hurricane, only a few A-grade alpha passengers managed to stand; everyone else’s legs gave way, and they all collapsed to their knees. The temporarily subdued interstellar kidnappers seized the opportunity to kick off their attackers and regain control.
The situation, which had just begun to improve, quickly reversed course, plunging into an extremely dire situation.
Staring at the dark muzzles of guns, despair filled everyone.
“Foolish,” the female leader scoffed, about to order the firing. Suddenly, she sensed movement behind her.
She turned her head abruptly, but it was too late— her back pressed against a cold, hard object: a laser gun.
The gun was held by a blond boy. His face was expressionless; he showed neither tension nor the barely contained excitement of being the leader. He simply stared coldly at the female leader, as if looking at an inanimate object.
As for the two kidnappers guarding the omegas, they were already unconscious on the ground, their weapons confiscated.
The remaining omegas were panicked, some unable to process the changing situation.
When someone among the passengers stood up, all of them were filled with hope. But in less than a minute, they were easily subdued.
The pheromones released by the female leader didn’t oppress the omegas, but they did have an aphrodisiac effect. Although their compatibility wasn’t high enough to trigger estrus, their movements were still restricted.
But the omega beside her was unaffected. Instead, he leaped up, easily taking down two large men on either side, and even capturing the leader.
This was incredible!
If they weren’t still in danger, they would have stood up and applauded on the spot.
Seeing their leader subdued, the interstellar kidnappers panicked: “Boss!”
The female leader glanced at the gun barrel, then shifted her gaze to the boy’s handsome face: “An omega, not only unaffected by my pheromones, but also single-handedly taking down two alphas?”
She raised an eyebrow, “Interesting.”
The blond boy’s finger lightly rested on the trigger; a single pull would easily finish off the man before him.
He didn’t respond to the man, but coldly said, “Drop your weapons.”
This was directed at the group of interstellar kidnappers behind him, who were eyeing him menacingly.
His men exchanged glances. Although they wanted to rush forward to rescue him, their leader’s life was in someone else’s hands, and they dared not act rashly.
The blond boy’s finger lightly touched the trigger: “You have three seconds.”
“Three.”
As soon as the first number was uttered, a kidnapper immediately threw down his laser gun. Some passengers reacted quickly, immediately grabbing the fallen weapon.
However, some kidnappers still hesitated, not making a move.
The blonde frowned almost imperceptibly. “Two.”
“Little one,” the female leader spoke up.
Despite having a gun pointed at her, she showed no fear. “Sometimes, it’s better not to be too confident in your skills.”
The blonde paused, about to pull the trigger, when the female leader grabbed the gun and snapped it in two.
The once-sturdy gun broke in two.
The female leader moved with lightning speed, gripping the gun with one hand and slamming the other into the blonde’s abdomen.
The blonde released the gun in time and leaped backward. But his wrist was grabbed, and with a thud, he was slammed to the ground by the arm.
If he hit the ground, his sternum would probably shatter—!
The omegas behind him covered their eyes, completely unable to watch.
Suddenly, the female leader stopped abruptly. She felt something cold and hard against her back— a laser beam was fired without hesitation.
She released her strength and dodged to the side. And the bullet pierced her calf.
The female leader pressed her back against the wall, clutching the spot where she had been shot, staring speechlessly at the gray-haired boy before her.
Another omega? What was happening to the world these days? The alphas present were all scurrying away, while the omegas were all incredibly reckless.
However, novices often failed to grasp the concept of a “sight,” believing themselves invincible with a gun. The female leader was confident she wouldn’t be harmed by this inexperienced student.
She composed herself, about to chuckle. Suddenly, she felt an overwhelming pressure bearing down on her.
The light gray-haired boy seemed to know the gun was useless, tossing it aside.
He slowly approached, knelt on one knee, and chuckled, “Now, you shouldn’t be able to move, right?”
For a moment, the female leader didn’t know what he meant.
Was he referring to her calf being shot and immobilized?
Or was he impaired by her pheromones?
However, regardless of the specifics, the combined effect of these two factors on her was greater than the sum of its parts (1+1>2).
If it were only one of them, perhaps she could find a way to create distance. In that case, the oppressive feeling from the pheromones would be greatly reduced.
Although this young man had a powerful aura, his pheromones flowed haphazardly, sweeping over her with sheer force.
Her gene level was at least A-grade. And based on her years of experience on the battlefield, apart from her younger days, she had rarely experienced being suppressed by pheromones alone.
So just how terrifying was this young man’s gene level?!
The female leader’s light brown eyes reflected the young man’s face. He was handsome and refined, with a faint smile on his lips. The silver chain around his neck fell down, with two silver rings hanging from it.
But what she saw was another face.
Behind this young man, there seemed to be a huge black shadow. He was covered by a black cloak, and in his hand he held an enormous scythe.
The scythe was cold, dripping with uncongealed blood. He raised it high— and then brought it down!
The female leader’s pupils constricted.
