Nyx’s vision blurred, and her feet left the ground. Before she could react, the snake had already pulled her back into the 

room. 

“What are you doing?” She stared in surprise at Jaws, who had transformed back into human form. 

Jaws looked down at her, his blood–red eyes filled with anger and a suffocating pressure. “You’re being disobedient.” 

They had agreed she would stay home and wait for them to return, but instead, she had gone to such a dangerous place. 

He didn’t know why Nyx appeared unharmed, but being hit by the Neutron Lance was a fact. Her ten–day unconsciousness was not fake. 

“Does it hurt?” Jaws gaze fell on Nyx’s chest. 

The Neutron Lance had struck there. For males, it was deadly, so it was more so for a weaker female. 

These past few days, he didn’t know how he had managed to get by. 

Before meeting Nyx, his survival had been driven by hatred, by a thirst for revenge. Now, Edmund had been captured by his own hands, and all his obsessions had vanished. Nyx was his entire world. If Nyx died, he didn’t know how he would go on living. 

“What?” Nyx was stunned for a moment before realizing what he was asking. She quickly shook her head. “No, it doesn’t hurt. Really.” 

The moment the attack hit her, it was completely neutralized. She didn’t feel anything at all. “I didn’t wake up these past few days not because I was injured, but because my mental power was evolving.” 

Although she had been unconscious, it wasn’t a bad thing. 

Jaws carefully observed Nyx’s expression and concluded that she wasn’t lying, so his tense nerves finally relaxed. 

Seeing his mood ease, Nyx thought this matter was over. 

However, just as she sighed in relief and was about to smile, Jaws restrained her with one hand, leaving her unable to resist. 

“They couldn’t bear to punish you, but I can.” Jaws leaned in close to her, his voice cold. 

In reality, he didn’t want to do it, but the issue was too serious this time. Nyx not only came to the military base but also sneaked out of the secret room and ran to the battlefield. 

On many matters, he’d be willing to abandon his principles and unconditionally indulge Nyx, but when it came to her safety, he had to make Nyx understand the seriousness of her reckless actions. 

“You’re going to hit me?” Nyx was caught off guard, her eyes widening in disbelief. 

After the shock, embarrassment flooded over her. She was already twenty years old, not born yesterday. 

Jaws lowered his gaze, watching her reaction. 

He just wanted to scare her a little, giving her a light tap. 

But Nyx’s emotional reaction was far more intense than he’d expected, making him question himself. ‘Was it still too hard?‘ 

After hesitating for a moment, he adjusted the force.

Yet Nyx was still struggling desperately. “You promised you wouldn’t hit me. What are you doing?” 

Hearing her question, Jaws froze. He thought, ‘Yes, I have indeed promised. 

“If you listen, I certainly wouldn’t do this,” he said. He didn’t want to lay a hand on Nyx; he never intended to hurt her. 

“Listen?” Nyx pressed her lips together. She didn’t like that word. “Why should I listen?”

If it had been said casually, jokingly, it wouldn’t have been an issue, but the serious demand for her to obey was hard for her to accept. 

Her mates always had her best interests in mind, and she usually listened to advice, but that didn’t mean she had to be a completely obedient person. She also had her own judgment. 

“Are you deliberately trying to make me angry?” Jaws misunderstood Nyx’s true meaning, his anger rising. “Don’t you think you’ve done something wrong?” 

Nyx nervously fiddled with her fingers. She did make a mistake this time. She rushed to the battlefield without a word, wasn’t careful enough, and not only caused trouble for Uncle Felix but also scared all the males at home. But she still felt Jaws‘ words were wrong. 

“I’m not trying to make you angry. I’m trying to reason with you,” Nyx argued back. “What standard are you using to decide 

want?” whether I should listen? Are you the judge? Does that mean you can hit me whenever you 

Originally, she just wanted to find a reason for Jaws to stop, but before she knew it, she was arguing with him. 

Jaws took a deep breath, gritting his teeth. “In your eyes, am I that kind of disgusting person?” 

If he really wanted to bully Nyx, he could have done so completely back when she first fell into his hands. 

Nyx had been bossing him around, and every time he chose to endure, even finding some sweetness in it. But this time, he really couldn’t take it anymore. 

He raised his hand and hit her three times with slightly more force, and then pulled Nyx close, his usually gentle tone trembling. “Do you know how scared I was? You almost died.” 

Just imagining it in his mind made him feel like he was about to break. These past few days had been like walking dead for 

him. 

Nyx was stunned. 

She felt wronged, clenching her fists. “But if I didn’t save you, you would have died.” 

“Then let me die,” Jaws held her tightly, his tone serious. “I can die.” 

Rather than letting Nyx face the danger, he’d rather bear all the consequences himself. 

“Why?” Nyx’s eyes turned red. “Because you love me, so you don’t want me to be in danger? Could I just watch you die?”
