A Guide to Raising Your Natural Enemy

69. It’s Time to Escape

The mech fighters under Chris’ command had just picked up the lifepod ejected from Jonathan\'s spaceship, and the lifepod on their hands suddenly exploded.

Although the power of the explosion was not big, but it was not small either. Almost all of the mechs close to it suffered, but fortunately, the mech fighters inside the cabin were not in life-threatening danger.

Seeing this scene, Chris, who had not slept for two days, opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Your Imperial Majesty!" The people around Chris cried out in horror.

"Collect and check the debris that turned up after the lifepod exploded!" Chris ordered. If there were people inside the lifepod, the fragments left from the explosion would definitely be splattered with genetic material . . . . Of course, he hoped there was nothing inside.

But even if there was nothing inside . . . .

Turning towards the wormhole that was already closed because Jonathan had let off that bomb at the last minute, Chris’ expression was inscrutable.

He wished he could rush over right away, but in the current situation, even if he rushed over, he doubted he could find Jonathan. He would more likely get lost in the wormhole or even torn to pieces by the space blade inside the wormhole.

He could not catch up with Jonathan, so he could only search for people on the outside!

"Go offer a reward for finding the empress!" Chris wiped off the bloodstain on the corner of his mouth and had his men post huge rewards on the star network, looking for Ian and the other two as well as the wanted Jonathan and his cronies. With Edgar keeping pace with them, Ian and the others would definitely be all right . . . .

When Jonathan made the two spaceships dock and let the people on his spaceship transfer to the other ship, Edgar at once realized that things were not good. He promptly made Shu Shu find the egg and Jones.

In the past two days, Edgar and Shu Shu had not always watched Jonathan attentively. They, separately, had already checked this small private spaceship thoroughly, including the cabins where the egg and Jones were located. And now, the guards had just left, so Shu Shu rushed madly toward the cabin.

Edgar told him to bring the egg and Jones to the lifepod.

For safety purpose, this private spaceship was equipped with four big and small lifepods. The one that Jonathan had released before was the biggest one. Edgar made Shu Shu bring the egg and Jones to the smallest one, though.

The members of the imperial family knew that the smallest lifepod was the strongest one, and although it was quite small, it could still shelter three or four people.

Aboard the private spaceship, Shu Shu was rushing madly. After arriving at the outside of the locked cabin where his own egg was located, he immediately squeezed into the small hole that Edgar had dug up and appeared inside the cabin.

Two robots stood in the spacious and empty cabin, and an egg was placed on the bed.

If he was not careful when taking the egg, he might alarm these two robots . . . . He needed to get it done quickly, and he also needed to avoid these two robots . . . .

The tiny, fingernail-sized hamster whose whole body was covered with spiritual power could completely avoid detection. Shu Shu climbed onto the bed and abruptly turned into a human form.

A big, living person suddenly appeared in the room. If there were human beings here, they would definitely turn pale with fright and raise the alarm. But now, apart from the egg, there were only robots in the room.

Shu Shu\'s body was covered with spiritual power, so the robots failed to detect his existence. They turned a blind eye to him and just stood there quietly.

Shu Shu did not hesitate to pick up his own egg and stuff it into his mouth . . . or into his own subspace, to be exact.

A hamster\'s mouth could open quite wide just like a snake\'s mouth. The egg that Shu Shu gave birth to was not particularly big. In the blink of an eye, the egg was already stuffed into Shu Shu’s mouth. Shu Shu instantly became smaller and ran away from the scene.

The two robots in the room were unable to detect Shu Shu. In fact, they were also unable to detect the egg, so that when Shu Shu took the egg away, they actually didn\'t have any awareness about it at all.

Right now, Shu Shu already started toward the cabin where Jones was located.

After Shu Shu arrived at the cabin where Jones was, he found that Jones had actually recovered his mobility and was working on the two robots that guarded him!

But Jones was just a sub-beastman; how could he be a match for the two robots? Not only did he fail to defeat the two robots, but he was also suppressed by them.

At this time, the entire spaceship shook violently.

This was the sign of the spaceship entering the wormhole. Shu Shu did not know this, but the rocking sensation under his feet still made him uneasy. He turned into a human form without the slightest hesitation and then kicked the two robots one by one.

"Shu Shu?" Jones stared at the naked Shu Shu in shock and somewhat couldn\'t come to his senses—how could Shu Shu suddenly appear?

Shu Shu simply didn’t have time to answer Jones. He carried Jones on his shoulder and continued to rush madly toward the location of the lifepod.

The spaceship shook even more violently while he was doing this.

The spaceship had entered the wormhole. In addition, Jonathan had also fired a bomb at the entrance of the wormhole to blow it up!

This spaceship was originally very close to the entrance, so it was naturally affected greatly . . . . If it weren’t for Shu Shu having spiritual power, he would absolutely have no way to stand firm.

In the end, Shu Shu practically dove into the lifepod while carrying Jones. After going in, the two men fell into a heap.

"Shu Shu, how did you escape?" Jones had been unconscious from the beginning. He didn\'t know that Shu Shu was not caught by Jonathan and only thought that Shu Shu had been captured along with him. "What about Ian? Do you know where he is?"

"Edgar went to save him." Shu Shu answered. His voice just fell, and the spaceship shook violently, making his whole person lurch and slam into Jones’ body.

"Let’s secure ourselves!" Jones, who hurt all over from getting slammed into, quickly expressed.

Shu Shu nodded and grabbed a crate in the lifepod to crawl into. He also stuffed Jones, who was powerless to steady his figure, into one of the crates.

They were finally secured after going into the crates. Although they were still being shaken incessantly, which made them can\'t help but feel like vomiting, but at least they would not be tossed around and fall down . . . .

The spaceship was constantly shaking, and naturally, so was the main control room.

After entering the wormhole and firing the bomb, the main control room began to shake, and there were so many noises mixed together as well, which made Jonathan basically unable to continue monitoring all the cabins as before.

By now, he was not interested in monitoring those cabins anymore.

Jonathan had already fastened himself to the chair in the main control room. Although the shaking made him feel sick, but it didn\'t make him keep away from the console . . . . Revealing a little sneer while watching the screen in front of him, Jonathan reached out and pressed on the console a few times, starting a procedure that he had set up earlier.

The spaceship’s self-destruct procedure.

He did not want to die, but which road could he still travel besides dying?

He never liked the Duke of Mund. Although the Duke of Mund was very good to him, but that kind of goodness only made him feel repressed. He didn\'t even want to stay in one room with the Duke of Mund, and he wished he would never have to see this man again.

He hated Ian very much, and finally, after waiting for almost fifty years, he had a suitable opportunity to start taking revenge.

After the plan was activated, he could no longer stop it.

If Edgar and Ian had died as he had planned, he could have been at Chris’ side and kept him company. Afterwards, everything in the imperial family would have belonged to his son, Calvin.

But Edgar was not dead; Ian was also fine, and Edgar and Chris kept investigating this matter ceaselessly!

The investigation finally found him.

After his plan fell through and stood exposed, he only had two roads. One road was to flee far away, living incognito in fear and on edge for a lifetime. The other road was to get imprisoned.

When his life was only a little bit uncomfortable, he already felt it was unbearable. He was used to being watched attentively and liked to be a person who was the focus of everyone. If he could no longer enjoy a bright and beautiful life, he might as well drop dead.

His subordinates wanted to flee, but, no matter what, he was not willing to choose either of these two roads.

Therefore, he chose another road for himself, the road to death.

He was going to die. Naturally, he had to drag a few to share his fate. He was going to die, so of course, Ian could not be alive.

Chris did not like him, then he would kill the people Chris liked.

He believed that from now on, Chris would definitely remember him deeply and eternally.

Since Chris did not love him, then just let Chris hate him!

It took a minute for the spaceship\'s self-destruct procedure to fully start. Fixing his gaze on the screen in front of him, Jonathan finally thought of his own son, Calvin.

He loathed the Duke of Mund, but Calvin was his son after all. He still cared about Calvin.

He, Ian, and the others disappeared together in the wormhole. Chris would not be able to ascertain whether they had died or not, so it might be assumed that Calvin would be able to keep his life.

After his plan to murder Edgar fell through and stood exposed, Calvin was doomed to have a bad life. It was already very good that he could keep his life.

Jonathan chuckled and turned his head to look at Ian, but he did not expect to see that the bombs on Ian’s body were already dismantled completely. Even more, Edgar was standing beside Ian!

When did Edgar come aboard the spaceship? Why did he know nothing at all about this?

It had been chaotic just now, and he had been unable to manage Ian at all. Had Edgar taken advantage of this moment to tear down the explosives on Ian’s body?

Jonathan stared at the two people in front of him and couldn\'t help but want to pounce on them. However, he had tied himself to the console, and it was impossible to untie himself in an instant.

"You want to die, then go die! We’re leaving!" Edgar picked Ian up and quickly left the main control room. When he reached the doorway of the main control room, he threw a punch at the door, and the door of the main control room was smashed open.

"The spaceship’s going to explode, and it\'s still in the wormhole. Do you still think you can escape?" Jonathan sneered. "Chris, all your loved ones will accompany me to die. Are you happy?"

Jonathan, watching Edgar going away, felt inexplicably carefree.

This wormhole was nevertheless an unstable wormhole. Even if Edgar and those people could escape, could they also survive?

No longer watching Edgar, Jonathan turned his head to watch the main console, which was showing a countdown.

“34，33，32 . . . .”

The space outside was extremely chaotic; the spaceship\'s power source was already exhausted, and the hull had been scratched up by the space blade.

“24，23，22 . . . .”

The violent shaking movements made Jonathan can’t help but start retching. This was the first time he was so close to death, and it seemed to be within arm’s reach.

“14，13，12 . . . .”

A lifepod disengaged from the spaceship.

The corner of Jonathan\'s mouth curled up with a sneer. Absentmindedly, he suddenly remembered the memories of his childhood.

When he was brought into the imperial palace, he looked at everything around him and only thought that everything was so beautiful. He wanted to stay there for a lifetime, but in the end, he could only leave with his tail between his legs.

Perhaps it was not a bad thing to die in an explosion. At least, it was brilliant enough.

“4，3，2 . . . 0！”

The screen in the main control room showed a zero, and at the same time, the spaceship exploded.

The spaceship explosion made the whole wormhole appear more chaotic than ever. A lifepod that had just left the spaceship was in the middle of this chaos, and it was tossed around.

But even then, the people inside the lifepod rejoiced in having a new lease on life.

They ultimately remained alive!

"What about the child?" Ian\'s entire person was flipped over 360° along with the lifepod, but he still did not forget to ask about the child.

Shu Shu was here, Jones was here, and Edgar was also here. What about the child? The child was fine, right?

"The child’s with me. He’s fine!" Shu Shu said as they once again made a big 360° flip. He originally wanted to take the child out of his food pouch, but with the current situation . . . . He had better not fool around, or else the child might be accidentally thrown and dropped and broken to pieces!

Hearing Shu Shu’s words, Ian and Jones both put their minds at ease. Edgar’s expression, however, was still very grave.

The child was fine, but they would probably have a problem soon.

This lifepod was very solid, but the outside was too chaotic. If they went on like this, this lifepod would not last long!

If the lifepod broke down in the universe . . . . He might be able to survive, but the others would undoubtedly die!

Edgar\'s face was very ugly, and at this moment, a loud *bang* was heard. Unexpectedly, some object smashed into the lifepod.

The lifepod was sent flying toward the other direction from the impact, and at the same time, the sound of alarm began to ring inside the lifepod.

Because of the impact, there was a thinned out area on the lifepod now!

"What’s to be done?" Ian and Jones also realized that the current situation was very bad.

Edgar did not talk, and everyone also became silent. Meanwhile, more crashing sounds were heard . . . .

After an indeterminate period of time had passed, the crashing sound on the outside of the lifepod finally became smaller, and the rocking movement of the lifepod also lessened a little. It could be that the shock wave caused by the spaceship explosion had disappeared. However, at this moment, a hole was suddenly torn in the lifepod.

The lifepod was damaged! The air in the cabin would completely vaporize into the universe, and by then, all of them were going to die!

Shu Shu covered his mouth. If he died, what would happen with his egg?

He was terrified. He should have started crying at this time, but when he really arrived at this point in time, he unexpectedly didn\'t want to cry.

Ian and Jones\'s joy of being saved disappeared without a trace. Their faces became extremely ugly for a moment, but Edgar suddenly said, "Rest assured, it’ll be fine!"

Because the air in the lifepod was quickly drained, Edgar’s voice sounded strange when it traveled to the ears of the other three people. At this instant, Edgar abruptly turned into his original form and became a very small snake. Then he climbed out through the hole that was smashed open in the lifepod.

The broken hole on the lifepod was blocked. The lifepod was still shaking and getting struck, but the people inside were temporarily safe.

However, the mood of the three people inside the lifepod were not good. They knew that Edgar used his body to protect them.

Directly exposed to the universe, would Edgar die?

Strands of tears rolled down Shu Shu’s face, falling rapidly from the corners of his eyes to the ground.

After quite a long time, the crashing sound finally disappeared, and the lifepod finally stopped shaking. It began to move forward steadily in the universe and slowly approached a dark green planet.
