Sylvara was suspended in midair and instinctively reached out, wrapping her arms around Agares’s neck. She blurted out, “Why is 20 Billion hijacking a spaceship?”
Agares stiffened, lifted Sylvara off the seat, then let go. A faint flush crept up the tips of his ears, and his breath grew a little ragged. “You should be answering that question. Why did he escape on your watch?”
Without Agares supporting her waist, Sylvara couldn’t keep her balance. She dropped her arms, her feet landed on the ground, and she stepped back, stumbling over her words under his questioning. “Um… you might not believe me, but it was Red Brows. Red Brows showed up with a ton of people and rocket launchers and snatched 20 Billion away from me and Daddy.”
Agares tucked the hand that had been around her waist behind his back, and something dangerous flashed in his eyes.
Sylvara tensed up, thinking he’d seen through her lie. Just as she was about to explain more, Agares simply told her, “Come with me.”
“Wait, there’s a container at my seat,” Sylvara quickly said, not forgetting about the cherry tomatoes she’d packed.
Agares paused, spotted the container by her seat, and picked it up. It was heavier than he’d expected. He handed it to Sylvara. “What is this?”
Sylvara’s eyes crinkled, and she pushed it back to him. Cherry tomatoes. They’re for you.”
Agares looked at the container she pushed at him, hesitating. “Tomatoes? For me?”
Sylvara nodded and corrected him. “Cherry tomatoes. Not mutated. They have some mental energy in them. You can eat them as fruit or use them in cooking.
Agares gripped the container a bit tighter. “Didn’t you say you gave all the fruit to the little panda?”
Of course Sylvara wasn’t about to tell Agares she’d grow these just for him right before she went to sleep. She just grinned and said, “I’m a Level-7 plant healer, you know. I can’t give everything away, right? These are just for you, Your Highness!”
Agares saw her smiling with her eyes curved. The flush on his ears spread until they looked like they were burning. His face stayed expressionless as he answered in a low, cold, gravelly voice, “Thank you.”
“You’re welc-”
Before she could finish, the spaceship shook violently.
“Bluebeard is attacking the ship. Let’s go!” A stashed the container in his spatial button, grabbed Sylvara by the wrist, and pulled her along.
“I haven’t even put my shoes on!” Sylvara called as she hurried after him.
They’d just made it out of their cabin when there was a huge boom. The wall was blasted open from the outside, and freezing air rushed in.
Sylvara’s long hair whipped around her face as she looked back at the gaping hole.
She couldn’t help but think, 20 Billion doesn’t mess around This isn’t a hijacking. He’s out for blood.

“Kid, why were you sleeping like a rock? I tried calling and you didn’t answer!” Blake fired off at Sylvara as soon as he saw the two of them come out
Sylvara hadn’t even answered when Agares pulled her by the wrist, dropped her next to Blake, and headed for the door. He said to Auren, “Auren, come with me.”
Auren had been guarding the door with his gun in hand He answered and followed Agares out, making sure to shut the big cabin door behind him.
Sylvara pointed at the closed door. “Daddy, they’re going to fight. Aren’t we going too?”
Blake clicked his tongue, flopped down in a seat, crossed his legs, and said, “It’s just 20 Billion. He’s got, what, maybe 100 people on that ship? The most advanced weapons he’ll have are MK-series heavy rocket launchers.
“As for mechs, nobody’s got one as good as your husband’s. His mech was rebuilt by the Empire with parts they bought from the Fourth Civilization.
“If he can’t handle 20 Billion and his 100 men, he might as well go back to training. Honestly, if you’d been awake earlier, he wouldn’t have had to rescue you. By now, he’d probably already have the 20 billion bounty in his pocket.”
Really?
Is my bargain bin-husband really that good?
