Chapter 77 – Rough Star Pirate Leader VS War God Empire Prince [AA] (4)
However, of course, Mu Jin would not actually be injected with those drugs. He had instructed 003 to accelerate his body’s metabolism the moment the drugs were injected, and at this moment, all those drugs had already been expelled into the repair fluid surrounding his body.
With 003 as the cheating tool, Mu Jin could easily conceal the scent of his pheromones, preventing Chester from detecting anything unusual. It was effortless for him to disguise himself as a Beta.
After the drug injection, Chester stared blankly at the person immersed in the nutrient solution. The man’s eyes were tender, and he had never believed in love at first sight until he met this person. It turned out that in this world, there really existed the emotion of falling deeply in love with someone with just one glance.
Extending his hand, he gently stroked Mu Jin’s cheek. However, as soon as he made a move, the person inside the repair capsule made a muffled groan and then opened his eyes.
Mu Jin’s entire body was still immersed in the nutrient solution. He abruptly opened his eyes, and upon seeing Chester in front of him, immediately assumed a defensive posture.
He looked at the man with sharp eyes and coldly asked, “Who are you?”
After saying this, Mu Jin sat up abruptly. Even though his body had just recovered and lacked strength, he still adopted a defensive stance. He scanned the surroundings, ready for battle.
Mu Jin’s gaze swept over Chester, seemingly carefully observing his appearance.
The man opposite him had neatly trimmed silver short hair, sharp eyebrows and eyes, and crystal-clear amber eyes. Dressed in black attire, his face bore a hint of blue stubble. His thin lips were tightly pursed, and at the moment, he was frowning at Mu Jin.
Chester did not expect Mu Jin to wake up suddenly. Wanting to reassure him and convey that he had no intention of harming him, Chester didn’t get a chance to speak before the person inside the capsule showed a somewhat confused expression. Perhaps because he had not made any threatening gestures all along, the person stared at him for a long time before asking, “Who are you? And who am I?”
Chester was taken aback when he heard this, never expecting that the person in front of him had lost his memory. He quickly asked Mu Jin, “Do you not remember who you are?”
Mu Jin bit his lip and hesitated for a moment before nodding to the man in front of him.
Chester opened his mouth in surprise, not expecting to encounter such a situation. Somewhat uncertain, he asked Mu Jin, “You really don’t remember anything?”
Mu Jin, hearing Chester’s question, bit his lip and hesitated for a moment. Then he nodded with difficulty, saying, “I only remember my name seems to be Mu Jin.”
Only then did Chester relax a bit. Immediately changing his thoughts, he quickly asked Mu Jin, “You don’t remember anything at all?”
Mu Jin heard this and, after biting his lip, hesitated for a moment before nodding. “I only remember that my name is Mu Jin.”
Chester sighed at this unexpected turn of events. He quickly explained to Mu Jin, “Xiao Jin, we encountered the Zerg before, and there was an accident. You were seriously injured and hit your head. I’ve been working hard to save you these past few days, which is why you woke up in the repair capsule. But I didn’t expect you to lose your memory and even forget about me.”
Chester’s expression was sincere, and he looked at Mu Jin with sadness, as if he were a man forgotten by his lover. If Mu Jin didn’t already know the truth, he might have been convinced by the man’s acting skills.
Never thought that this lifetime’s lover would be such a drama queen. Mu Jin silently complained in his heart.
Originally, he just wanted to pretend to have amnesia and get along well with his lover for a while. After all, waking up and being close to the other party immediately was too unreasonable, considering the opposition between the two sides. Pretending to have amnesia would provide a reasonable excuse to stay with the other party.
However, he didn’t expect this guy to create an opportunity for himself, directly making up a story that he was his lover. It was quite audacious.
In his mental space, 003 heard Mu Jin’s complaints and couldn’t help but roll his eyes, muttering in his mind. If we talk about being a drama queen, who could surpass our host? I guess the target might have learned something after being influenced by Mu Jin for so many lifetimes.
Mu Jin was unaware of 003’s thoughts and had all his attention on his lover. Watching the man act in front of him, after a long time, he reluctantly made a show of somewhat believing his explanation.
Since he did wake up in the repair capsule, and the use of the repair capsule was quite costly, it was unlikely that the other party would go through the trouble of treating him if they intended harm.
So, with a softened attitude, Mu Jin slowly walked to Chester’s side, blushing, and whispered, “Are you really my lover?”
Watching as Mu Jin, who had just been lively, now appeared gentle and adorable, Chester nodded vigorously. He quickly said, “Of course. Don’t worry, Xiao Jin, your body should be fine now. In a while, I’ll ask Bishop to take another look and confirm if there are any other issues.”
Mu Jin softly thanked him upon hearing this. Just as he was about to ask something else, the door slammed open.
A bald guy with a beard rushed in, and upon seeing Mu Jin awake, he exclaimed, “How did he wake up so quickly?”
He then grinned at Mu Jin and continued, “I was saying, Big…” But before he could finish the word ‘Prince,’ Chester forcefully patted the back of his head.
Quickly taking off his own coat, Chester draped it over Mu Jin, addressing Buck nearby, “Don’t call him sister in law right now. Can’t you see Xiao Jin hasn’t even put on proper clothes yet? Go quickly and ask Bishop to prepare. Later, with the instruments, we’ll check if there are any hidden injuries on Xiao Jin that need repairing.”
Upon hearing Chester’s words, Buck looked at the harmonious interaction between the two in a daze. He mumbled to himself, wondering why the Imperial Prince, after waking up, hadn’t immediately dismantled their spaceship.
At this moment, Chester gave him a meaningful look and said, “Alright, tell everyone to be vigilant. Although Xiao Jin has lost his memory, he is still your sister in law. Be cautious, and if any of you dare to bully Xiao Jin, you are challenging me.”
Upon hearing Chester’s words, Buck suddenly understood. No wonder the atmosphere was so harmonious; it turned out that Mu Jin had lost his memory.
Earlier, when the First Mate Bishop mentioned the situation of the Crown Prince falling in love at first sight, both Bishop and Buck were against it. They felt it was unreasonable. Bishop was in a hurry to discuss the matter with the captain.
But now, it seemed like even fate was helping their captain. With the Crown Prince forgetting who he was, he could be easily manipulated by their captain. Although there was still some worry in his heart, he quickly went to discuss this matter with Bishop, as Chester had instructed.
Soon after, a man wearing a doctor’s coat, with gold-rimmed glasses and a refined appearance, walked in.
Mu Jin looked at Bishop in front of him with some confusion. Remembering that Chester wanted to inject him with drugs earlier, he couldn’t help but take a few more glances at Bishop. The man looked polite and cultured, showing no signs of being a space pirate.
Bishop accepted Mu Jin’s scrutiny expressionlessly. The two men did not avoid each other’s gaze, causing Chester’s internal alarm bells to ring. Thinking about Bishop’s refined and handsome appearance, even though he was a Beta, he was quite popular among the Omegas, and there were many who wanted to marry him.
What concerned Chester even more was that Betas could be with Alphas. He quickly leaned towards his beloved and even subconsciously released his imposing aura, trying to assert his dominance.
Seeing Chester’s posture, Bishop furrowed his brow. Although Betas were not affected much by pheromones, Chester’s strength was overwhelming, and Bishop could still sense it. Especially Buck, who was already sweating profusely.
Mu Jin, noticing this, quickly pinched Chester’s palm, giving him a puzzled look. It made Chester snap out of his trance, realizing that his behavior was a bit reckless. Understanding that Bishop was doing official business, he withdrew his imposing aura.
However, this made Bishop somewhat more cautious. Chester was well aware of his abilities. The fact that this man could not sense his imposing aura indicated that the Imperial War God was even more formidable than he had imagined.
After examining Mu Jin’s body with various instruments, especially after hearing that Mu Jin had lost his memory, Bishop focused on scanning Mu Jin’s brain but found no problems. Mu Jin’s body had fully recovered.
After a thorough diagnosis, Bishop could only conclude that Mu Jin might have lost his memory due to a significant trauma. Whether these memories would be restored, he couldn’t say for sure.
Hearing this, Chester and Buck felt a slight tension. After the body check, Chester left Mu Jin in the room, and the three of them went outside to discuss for a while.
In reality, Chester was reminding the other two to keep the secret, and he urged Buck to quickly inform everyone on the pirate ship. The lie about Mu Jin’s identity had to be seamless, and they couldn’t allow anyone to accidentally reveal the truth.
