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

The the two pirate groups who was preparing to ambush had been beaten into chaos, Lu Junzhi divided a group of people and went directly over there to harvest.

The remaining people continued to pretend to be pirates and sailed forward, directly meeting another spacecraft that was slowly flying over from the other end of the channel.

“What should we do next?” Chu Muxi asked eagerly.

If Lu Junzhi hadn’t let him leave the cockpit, he would have changed his clothes and become a pirate with Zhou Xu and the others.

“Hijack ships, rob people, and then negotiate.” Lu Junzhi said calmly.

“Okay!” Chu Muxi slapped the table, “When Xu Yuanhang is rescued, let me take action!”

When it came to acting, Chu Muxi thought that he was absolutely fine.

And when he thought about trying to trick Chu Tianhao, he had to take action on his own, and he would never do it by other people’s hands.

The communication on the other side was quickly connected, and the people over there were still confused.

Chu Muxi saw on the screen that Xu Yuanhang, who was wearing his face, was being tied up and pushed to the ground.

Sitting behind him was a young man with yellow hair, an eyepatch and a scar on his face who raised his chin arrogantly.

The young man on the other side was taken aback for a moment, then sneered, “Are you scared to death? We will see about that!”

Chu Muxi couldn’t help but laugh at Zhou Xu’s performance. Despite the tense situation, Zhou Xu’s acting was convincing.

The communication continued, with both sides exchanging provocations and threats. Lu Junzhi sat calmly, occasionally issuing orders to his team, ensuring that they maintained the appearance of pirates.

After a series of exchanges, Zhou Xu suddenly changed his tone and said, “Okay, okay, we surrender. Don’t hit us, we give up. We don’t want trouble with your boss. Please spare us.”

The young man on the other side seemed surprised by this sudden change. “You… really surrender?”

Zhou Xu nodded dramatically, “Of course, of course! We surrender. We don’t want to mess with your boss. Please be merciful and spare our lives.”

Chu Muxi couldn’t help but admire Zhou Xu’s improvisation. The situation had taken an unexpected turn, and now it was up to the other party’s response.

The young man hesitated for a moment, then said, “Fine, we accept your surrender. But you better behave, or our boss won’t let you off.”

Zhou Xu chuckled, “Thank you, thank you. We promise to behave. Please spare our lives.”

The communication ended, and Lu Junzhi nodded in satisfaction. “Well done, Zhou Xu. Now let’s see how they react when we approach.”

Chu Muxi felt a surge of excitement. This unconventional approach to the rescue mission was both thrilling and effective.

Chu Muxi couldn’t hold back his laughter at the absurdity of the situation. It seemed the unexpected turn had caught the supposed pirates off guard.

.

Zhou Xu continued, “You idiots! Nicholas II is our boss, not yours. Now, if you want to live, surrender and behave!”

The young man who claimed to be Nicholas II suddenly looked furious, “What nonsense is this? I am Nicholas II! Who are you to claim my name?”

Zhou Xu smirked, “Oh, really? Well, our Nicholas II doesn’t like impostors. You better kneel down and apologize or face the consequences!”

Chu Muxi marveled at Zhou Xu’s audacity and quick thinking. The situation had turned into a bizarre showdown of Nicholas IIs.

The young man on the other side, realizing the absurdity of the situation, shouted angrily, “Enough of this nonsense! We’re not buying it. Prepare for battle!”

As the tension rose, Chu Muxi, who had been holding back his laughter, burst into uncontrollable laughter. Even Lu Junzhi’s stern expression softened as he observed the comedic turn of events.

Zhou Xu continued his act, “You’ve chosen the path of destruction! Our boss, Nicholas II, will show no mercy!”

The communication ended abruptly, leaving Chu Muxi in fits of laughter. Lu Junzhi, although still composed, couldn’t hide a faint glimmer of amusement in his eyes.

Chu Muxi wiped away tears of laughter and said, “Zhou Xu, you are a genius! I never thought a pirate negotiation could turn into a battle of which is Nicholas II.”

Zhou Xu grinned, “Sometimes, a bit of creativity can be more effective than brute force. Now, let’s prepare for the upcoming battle. It’s showtime.”

Nicholas II, who was taken aback, suddenly coughed and said disbelievingly, “Whom did you just claim your boss is?”

Zhou Xu snorted smugly, saying, “Fear not! Ni, Cho, Las, Se, Cond! Can you hear me clearly?”

Those on the other side were momentarily stunned, then erupted into laughter.

“Hahaha! Did you catch that? What did he just say?”

“They claim their boss is Nicholas II, hahaha! I’m laughing to death, hahaha!”

Was this man out of his mind and crazy?!

“Boss, this must be your crazy fan, hahahaha!”

Upon hearing Zhou Xu’s words, Nicholas II wasn’t angry but rather proud. “Hmph, you’re quite courageous. Do you even know what kind of person Nicholas II is?”

A discerning young man below took the lead, puffing up his chest, saying, “Our boss is a man who makes the whole place tremble whenever he stomps his feet! He’s extremely vicious and cruel. Anyone opposing him won’t end well!” He then made a self-proclaimed cruel expression.

.

Chu Muxi whispered to Lu Junzhi, “Do pirates always praise themselves like this?” He wondered if he was scolding himself.

Lu Junzhi glanced at him, saying nothing.

Zhou Xu turned his head quickly, wearing an inexplicable expression.

Chu Muxi couldn’t help but smile secretly. Suddenly, his hand warmed up. Lowering his head, he found Lu Junzhi holding his hand and staring at him.

Zhou Xu continued acting with the other party, “What evidence do you have? It’s clear you’re the impostors!”

Nicholas II amusingly said, “My name is known throughout the universe, do I still need evidence? Fine, because you adore me so much, I’ll spare you this time. Apologize, admit your mistake, and surrender your starship and its supplies.”

Zhou Xu replied sarcastically, “Don’t even think about it! You won’t fool us!”

It was likely the first time Nicholas II encountered someone not believing his identity. Instead of being angry, he smiled and became a little interested.

He nodded to the subordinate next to him, and the man nodded.

He seized Xu Yuanhang’s hair, forcing him to face the crowd. “Have you seen this guy? He’s the young master of the Central Star Chu family. Tsk tsk, his father and we are partners, and he gave us his son to make a deal. You want evidence, right? Wait—the communication is connected.”

As he finished speaking, his team immediately sent a communication request to Chu Tianhao.

The next second, Chu Tianhao’s face appeared on the big screen.

“Didn’t I tell you not to contact me casually if you have nothing to do?!” Chu Tianhao lowered his voice, expressing dissatisfaction.

.

Chu Muxi tensed up, looking at the familiar face on the screen. His hands clenched into fists, and his face filled with anger.

Lu Junzhi, originally seated, pulled Chu Muxi into his arms, hugging him and whispering to comfort him: “Don’t be angry.”

Chu Muxi took a deep breath, saying, “Well, I—”

Lu Junzhi patted him, “…It’s fine.”

Chu Muxi closed his eyes, listening to Lu Junzhi’s warm breath beside his ears, gradually calming down.

Lu Junzhi held Chu Muxi’s waist, rested his head on his shoulder, then turned to look at Zhou Xu.

He uttered two words coldly, “Fire.”
