Chapter 187: Fatality
🕑 Added 2025-08-11 11:52:27 +0000 UTC[Vinnaka (Felinia 6): Holy fuck, it’s the Noir family.]
[Noobkiller9000 (Earth): Those thieves you spoke about before?]
[Vinnaka (Felinia 6): Yeah. You notice how they addressed each other by numbers? That’s how the Noir family address each other when they're on a job to hide their identities. The closer they are to 1, the higher they are in the family.
[Handsome3horns (Vinox 2): Why the fuck are the Noir Family trying to steal the streamers' ship?]
[Beinglittleisnotadisadvantage (Strathorp 7): Who knows, but I’m curious to see if they can pull it off.]
[OfficialRowena (Oceana 7): The Noir Family, well, isn’t that interesting.]
[DeverinianLordMalacoss (Deverinian 9): Indeed. I wonder who hired them.]
[LadyErkath (Oceana 7): Pretty sure I could take a guess.]
[DeverinianLordMalacoss (Deverinian 9): Lady Erkath, you're here?]
[LadyErkath (Oceana 7): Indeed, the stream just gave me access.]
[OfficialRowena (Oceana 7): Must be because you're here with me watching the stream anyway.]
[Superior4horns (Vinox 3): Oh look, it’s opening up.]
[Beinglittleisnotadisadvantage (Strathorp 7): That was easy. 😱]
“Well done, one hundred and seventy-eight,” One hundred and five said.
“It wasn’t me,” One hundred and seventy-eight replied in a confused tone.
“Huh?” One hundred and five responded, and was about to continue when a humanoid shadow that blocked out some of the white light attracted the three's attention.
“Wasn’t the ship supposed to be empty?” One hundred and fifty-three asked as the three Catonians backed up a little while pulling out weapons.
However, before they could, a figure wearing an anti-gravity armour similar to Adam’s, with the helmet up, hiding their face, appeared before one hundred and five, holding something that was red, bloody and still beating in their hand.
The Noir Family members, Adam and Lorelie, and the entire chat's eyes moved from the object in the individual's hand to a hole that had suddenly appeared in One hundred and five’s chest.
“What!” One hundred and five managed to say before his eyes fogged over and his body crumpled to the floor.
[The entirety of chat: 😱]
“One hundred and five,” One hundred and fifty-three said in shock.
“Fuck!” One hundred and seventy-eight said as he quickly raised his blaster and shot at the individual, only for them to vanish.
Unfortunately for one hundred and seventy-eight, that was the last thing they saw because everyone else saw the individual appear behind one hundred and seventy-eight with their hand inside the skull.
[The entirety of chat: …]
One hundred and fifty-three stood there in shock for a moment before their fight or flight instincts kicked in and they turned and flew towards the elevator.
Unfortunately for him, he wasn’t fast enough, as the individual appeared behind him and grabbed him around the neck before lifting him up. Adam, Lorelie and the chat then watched in shock as the individual ripped the head and spine from One hundred and fifty-three’s body.
[The entirety of chat: …]
“What just happened?” Lorelie asked in shock as the bartender, who had also been watching the newly appeared holographic screen, gulped silently.
The haphic screen vanished, and the stream switched back to show Adam and Lorelie as Spector reported.
[[Target elimination complete]]
“That was… impressive,” Adam said in disbelief.
[[Thank you. I have acquired their access bands and confirmed their identities as members of the Noir Family. I have also discovered the location of their ship and will proceed to investigate it.]]
[Handsome3horns (Vinox 2): What the fuck was that?]
[Noobkiller9000 (Earth): Did that individual seriously rip the heart out of that thief's chest?]
[Prestigious3horns (Vinox 2): They just punched their hand right into the skull of the second one.]
[AlamoMatador4thewin (Earth): Forget those, they just went full Mortal Kombat fatality on that last thief.]
[Gunlovergirl (Earth): That was so fucking awesome.]
[StealthAssassin9 (Earth): When did the streamer get a new crew member?]
[Justiceistruth (Earth): Maybe it was that one who we saw come off the ship back on Trillion.]
“Is it over then?” Lorelie asked after the holographic screen vanished.
“Yes, Spector is going to investigate the thieves and try to discover who sent them,” Adam answered.
“I expect we can both already guess who did it.” Yes, but it would still be nice to know for certain.
“Do we need to leave then?” Lorelie asked with slight reluctance.
“Not at all, we still have a match to watch,” Adam replied while smiling.
“Good,” Lorelie responded while smiling brightly and focusing on the water sphere before saying, “Looks like we missed the start of the match.”
“You're right, the Oceana Abes are already winning 3 to 0.”
[Superhearofangirl (Earth): What are they watching?]
[Lizziethetruepower (Palalxia): Oh, it’s Water Sphere.]
[Celebrityhunter69 (Earth): What’s that?]
As the chat went on to explain to the Earthlings what Water Sphere was, Adam and Lorelie watched as Murphy successfully intercepted a pass that the Oasis Fangs made before swimming forward swiftly and putting the ball through their middle hope scoring three more points.
“Impressive,” Adam said. Even though he didn't know much about Water Sphere yet, and this was his first time watching a match, he could tell that Murphy was indeed skilled.
“Yes, Murphy is recognised as one of the current best Water Sphere players,” Lorelie replied.
As the two were discussing Murphy, the Merinmian swam in front of their VIP arena before throwing a wink and thumbs up at Lorelie.
“He also seems to have a thing about showboating in front of women he fancies,” Adam replied with a smirk.
[1000yearsofdeath (Earth): O oh, the streamers got competition. Kekeke.]
[Lizziethetruepower (Palalxia): That’s Murphy, he’s super popular with the ladies.]
[MerceadAnderson (Palaxia): Err, babe, how do you know that?]
[Lizziethetruepower (Palalxia): 😏]
[OfficialRowena (Oceana 7): She has to satisfy herself somehow while you're on the sofa, a woman has needs after all.]
[MerceadAnderson (Palaxia): …]
[Handsome3horns (Vinox 2): BOOM, Diva burn.]
[HackerSu (Trillion): Oi, why are you out on a date with Lorelie? Where is Stace?]
[1000yearsofdeath (Earth): Out of the frying pan. Kekeke.]
“She might still be at home asleep; she was rather busy last night after all,” Adam said with a smirk.
[Emojisonly (Earth): 👍]
[Handsome3horns (Vinox 2): Ma man.]
[HackerSu (Trillion): Lucky bitch.]
[Tessisdabest (Imperial Down): …]
[Beczontop (Imperial Down): 😡]
“Hey!” Lorelie said as she pinched Adam’s side, earning a slight gasp of pain from him before she added in a pout, “Do you mind not talking about your lover when you're out on a date with me.”
[Handsome3horns (Vinox 2): Oh shit, she admitted it was a date.]
[Superior4horns (Vinox 3): 😱]
[Celebrityhunter69 (Earth): Stop the presses.]
[Beczontop (Imperial Down): 😡😡]
[1000yearsofdeath (Earth): Stalker girls about to go apocalyptic and get banned.]
[Tessisdabest (Imperial Down): Calm down, Becky.]
“You know you just admitted that you're out on a date with me to my stream, right?” Adam asked.
Lorelie’s eyes widened in surprise at the realisation before she scurried to the corner of the sofa and hid her face behind one of the cushions.
[Superhearofangirl (Earth): She looks so cute.]
[OfficialRowena (Oceana 7): 🤣]
[LadyErkath (Oceana 7): 🤣]
“Idiot, who told you to stream our date?” Lorelie mutted in embarrassment from behind the cushion.
“Should I end it then?”
[OfficialRowena (Oceana 7): Hell no, this is just getting good.]
[LadyErkath (Oceana 7): I’m with Rowena, you can’t end it.]
[Lizziethetruepower (Palalxia): Those two are right, you need to show my idiot husband how a real man treats a woman.]
After taking a few deep breaths and calming herself down, Lorelie lowered the cushions before shaking her head, saying, “It’s fine, they were bound to find out sooner or later anyway.”
After which, she scooted back over towards Adam and sat close enough to him that their shoulders met.
Adam smiled at this before moving his arm to wrap it around Lorelie’s shoulders, and in doing so, he pulled her closer so that she now leaned against him.
Lorelie was surprised by the sudden intimacy at first, but soon embraced the feeling as she relaxed and let herself lean against Adam.
[OfficialRowena (Oceana 7): That’s my girl.]
[Handsome3horns (Vinox 2): Holy fuck, clip it clip it.]
The two of them returned their attention to the match as they enjoyed each other's company and their bond grew closer.
[Prestigious3horns (Vinox 2): You’ve gotta admit that Murphy player is good.]
[HackerSu (Trillion): He’s definitely the best player on the pitch.]
As the match continued, Murphy was intercepting the ball and making amazing passes to his teammates that allowed them to score and further increase their lead.
Soon, Muphy, who was out near the edge of the water sphere not far from Adam and Lorelie’s VIP arena, received a pass from one of his teammates. When he realised that no opposing team players were close enough to challenge him for a few seconds, he decided he would head for the hopes.
However, before he set off, he shot the VIP area a quick glance in order to make sure that Lorelie was paying attention to him, as he saw how Lorelie was cuddling up to Adam, who had his arm around her shoulder. He froze, and that's when it happened.

I can answer this but it would contain a huge hint at a huge spoiler. Do you really want to know?

Keep up the great work! General question: I'm not sure if Adam's fame as spread enough yet but shouldn't someone from the longer lived races recognize his ship by this point? Either from working on it or someone from the senate being read in as it was multi-race project.
