Semua Bab Aren't You The Ones Canceling The Match?: Bab 11 - Bab 20

After soothing Drake, Lara ended up the same as yesterday. Her legs were weak and unsteady. It felt like she had been emptied out. She stood up and said weakly, “I have to go and rest. “I probably won’t be able to cook lunch or dinner for you today.” With that, she did not wait for Drake’s reaction. She turned around and went back to her room to rest. Lara thought she might end up sleeping a full day and night again. But to her surprise, she woke up after only one day. It was 8 p.m. Lara pushed herself up from her bed. She felt refreshed and energized. She had only slept ten hours this time. If she could recover in ten hours after every soothing session, then did that mean she could soothe him at night too? That way, it would not interfere with her daytime plans. She decided to talk to Drake about it later. Rubbing her hungry stomach, Lara went downstairs to make something to eat. As she passed the second floor, she hesitated, then went to Drake’s room. La

Even after unbinding from yet another match, Lara did not feel sad. Out with the old, in with the new, such was the way. There were plenty of males out there. If one did not work out, she would just swap him out. She slept nicely through the night. The next morning, Lara went downstairs feeling refreshed and energized. She was getting ready to make breakfast when her photon computer pinged. Nick had sent her a message. [I’ll be arriving at Planet F268 soon.] [Just thinking about seeing you makes me excited!] [But I’m kind of dumb, and I don’t really have any assets.][Matriarch, you won’t mind that, will you?] Sitting aboard his private Star Rail, Nick sent the messages. The corner of his lips curved slightly up in a cold and calculating smile. He had assumed that a few sweet words over the photon computer would make this matriarch sensible enough to unbind on her own. He had not expected her to refuse the bait. It forced him to drop his work and travel all the w

There were four rooms on the second floor. Drake had already taken the largest one. Nick chose the room closest to the staircase leading up to the third floor. He pushed the door open. Seeing the plain furnishings inside, he frowned in disgust. He had to pretend to be poor and useless, so he definitely could not redecorate the room.The only comfort was that the room was at least clean.He could make do with it.The real priority was getting all of Lara’s other matches to show up. Only then would it be convenient for him to scam some star credits.The sooner he got that done, the sooner he could get back to Central Star.Even one extra day on this trash planet was torture. After inspecting the room, Nick quickly made his way to Drake’s bedroom door. The first match to show up had to be staying here. He thought he might as well collect a little “interest” first. Nick raised his hand and knocked on the door.Knock knock knock! Inside the room, Drake lounged lazily in

Inside Ava’s villa, Lara sat on the sofa and carefully read the information Ava had sent her. In five years in the interstellar empire, without matches or family protection, Ava had been the only one willing to team up with her to hunt mutated beasts. “A fifth-ranked mutated beast swarm, plus seventh-ranked mutated beast… and even insectoids?!” Lara’s brows knitted tightly. “How can there be insectoids on Planet F268?” Unlike mutated beasts, which were wild creatures with no intelligence, insectoids were a highly civilized species. They were just as intelligent as beastkin, but their true forms were hideous. Their nests drifted in space, and they fed on beastkin. Insectoids often moved in large swarms, abducting beastkin from planets across the interstellar empire. To protect females, the empire arranged all female espers to live on advanced planets protected by shields strong enough to resist insectoids. One of Ava’s male partners said, “These insectoids appeared becau

Seeing Nick holding the nutrient agent with a conflicted face, Lara prompted, “Aren’t you hungry? “Hurry and drink up!“I know this stuff tastes awful, but… I’m broke right now. You’ll have to suffer through it with me for a little while.“But don’t worry—once I start earning star credits, I’ll switch you to the good stuff immediately. I won’t treat you this way forever, I promise.” Nick was speechless. This matriarch… somehow managed to say the nice part and the nasty part all at once. Nick gripped the nutrient agents without saying anything.Lara said, “Hey, if staying with me feels like a burden, you can just apply to unbind. “I’d be sad, of course… but I’ll let you go.” Lara looked sincere, like she truly meant it. Nick took a deep breath and told himself inwardly to endure it for a little while longer. He had already given up the ore location, and he had not even gotten any star credits from the other matches. He absolutely could not lose like this. “Matriarch
