Chapter 158: [Parallel World] Intimacy (1)
Note: The Parallel World series happened in a parallel universe; the plot and settings are completely unrelated to the previous story. This Yuka is still the famous "Vase."
The man didn’t detect Kenji’s light pheromone scent, but seeing his reaction, he knew Professor Humphrey’s new pheromone drug was a success.
"It’s unbearable, isn’t it?" The man, holding his nose, sneered as he approached the overheated Kenji. "This pheromone drug induces an early heat cycle, causing loss of reason and weakening of limbs, leaving one at the mercy of others. You’re from The Alliance Army, right? Were you the one who killed our brother last time?"
Kenji dodged the man’s reaching hand. The man noticed Kenji’s attempt to use his opticomputer to call help. He snatched the opticomputer away and smashed the suppressant hidden in Kenji’s clothing.
Kenji glared at the man, his mind overheating as he calculated how to fatally strike him. He had an emergency beacon in his inner pocket. If he could control the man in front of him and hold on a little longer, The Alliance Army would arrive.
"So, a beta," the man sneered, reaching out again towards Kenji. Addressing the space pirates behind him, he taunted, "Wanna have some fun? He looks tough, and might not be very enjoyable, but it’s an opportunity to humiliate the Alliance Army. Anyone interested?"
"Don’t go overboard, and be aware of your surroundings," the leader of the space pirates instructed. "Make sure to clean up any blood. Leave the body in the private room for them to find."
Kenji watched the space pirates closing in on him with a cold gaze. He relaxed his sleeves, grasping the dagger that slid out.
Striving to maintain his sanity, he prepared to strike at the moment they came within reach.

At the other side of the bar, Yuka poured herself another drink. The colorful lights from the party lamps danced across her face.
