Rebirth Counterattack: I Heard That the Imperial Marshal Has a Crush on Me

“Who are you? Are you from my father?” Xu Yuanhang stared warily at the other party.

Laughter filled the surroundings. The man casually crossed his feet, placing them on his subordinate’s back, and said with a sinister smile, “I was indeed invited by Chu Tianhao, but I am not his lackey. Chu Tianhao is just a stepping stone for us. As for you, lead us to our destination quietly, and maybe we’ll consider sparing your life.”

“And who are you?”

“These pampered noble boys from the Central Star are truly sheltered. You don’t even recognize the infamous Nikhil II?” One of the man’s henchmen mocked him with a sarcastic expression.

Xu Yuanhang thought, ‘What kind of name is Nikhil II? Why do I have to encounter such a mediocre guy?!’

“Do you know me, then? I am the eldest son of the Chu family on the Central Star!” Xu Yuanhang retorted with arrogance.

Laughter erupted around him. One of the muscular men extended his hand and lightly poked him. Xu Yuanhang suppressed his instinctive reaction. Though he studied in the intelligence department, he had also taken combat classes. He was ready to join the deep space fleet!

Pretending to almost fall after being lightly poked, Xu Yuanhang elicited even louder mockeries from those around him.

“He’s just a weakling.”

“Boss, I’ve said it before – the young masters from the rich families on the Central Star are all softies. They can’t endure any hardship. Be careful not to frighten him to death.”

“Boss Chu is quite ruthless, sending his son as a hostage without hesitation.”

“This boy is fair and tender, quite good-looking. Boss, let’s deal with our business later. How about we have some fun with him first?”

Internally shocked, Xu Yuanhang realized that Chu Muxi’s father, Chu Tianhao, might be colluding with the interstellar pirate group. This was crucial information. He had to inform Marshal Lu and the others!

.

On Chu Muxi’s side, Xu Gaolai rushed over, his face pale. “It’s bad, young master!”

“What happened? Uncle Xu, calm down, and tell me slowly.” Chu Muxi poured him a glass of water, offering comfort.

With a trembling voice, Xu Gaolai explained, “Yuanhang, while pretending to be you, was supposed to be picked up by Chu Tianhao’s people. However, there’s news that the person who took him was from the Starlight Pirate gang!”

“What?” Chu Muxi was alarmed and turned back to find Lu Junzhi.

Lu Junzhi was approaching, accompanied by Zhao Lei, engaged in conversation. As Chu Muxi looked concerned, Lu Junzhi quickly walked over and asked, “What’s wrong?”

“Uncle Xu said that Brother Xu was taken by interstellar pirates.” Chu Muxi looked at him anxiously. “What’s happening? Could something has gone wrong?”

Lu Junzhi: “Tell me the situation again.”

“Yes, yes.” Xu Gaolai calmed down and recounted the news from the person monitoring Xu Yuanhang and provided a detailed account.

According to the initial information, Chu Tianhao couldn’t bear it anymore and sought a reason to bring Chu Muxi out of Poverty Star, pretending to rescue people. Chu Tianhao’s team then took him away to the resource star, aiming to confirm the location of new energy sources.

Shen Wu had already informed the board of directors and initiated the procedures to transfer this resource star to his grandson, Chu Muxi.

The plan involved working together on both sides, urging Chu Muxi to hasten the procedures with Shen Wu. Once completed, the resource star would be in Chu Muxi’s hands, making it Tianhao’s in the shortest possible time.

However, among the people monitoring Xu Yuanhang, disguised as Chu Muxi, there was an interstellar mercenary who had encountered an interstellar pirate group before. He recognized two of Chu Muxi’s rescuers as members of that pirate gang.

“I didn’t expect Chu Tianhao to collude with the interstellar pirate group!” Chu Muxi slammed the table angrily, stealing glances at Lu Junzhi.

Despite knowing about Chu Tianhao’s collaboration with the pirates, Chu Muxi couldn’t find direct evidence after his rebirth. Last time, due to concerns for his grandpa’s safety, he let it go.

Now, with changed circumstances, the interstellar pirate group, which should have appeared earlier, finally surfaced.

“Young master, what should we do now?” Xu Gaolai, usually calm, expressed concern for his son.

Chu Muxi reassured him, “Uncle Xu, don’t worry. I’ll rescue Brother Xu and ensure his safety. Remember we’re in this together.” He looked at Lu Junzhi with unwavering trust.

Lu Junzhi, calm as always, gave orders. “Zhao Lei, get Adjutant Zhou’s communication device.”

“Yes, Marshal!” Zhao Lei connected Adjutant Zhou’s device and reassured Xu Gaolai. “Don’t worry, Uncle Xu. We’re here to ensure your son’s safety. Not even a hair will be lost, or I’ll give you all my hair.”

Chu Muxi couldn’t fully agree with Zhao Lei’s comfort, and Lu Junzhi, from behind, said, “Are you hiding something from me?”

Chu Muxi trembled. What did he mean? Had he discovered my secret?
