I Married A Degraded Alpha
Chapter 31: Anyone More Handsome than You?

Chapter 31: Anyone More Handsome than You?

Yuri felt a dull throb in her head. Grunting softly, she withdrew her psychic power.

Tuss, who had been watching her closely, was taken aback. He managed to get over to her, preventing her from falling.

Yuri rested her head on his shoulder, mumbling, "Feels like my head’s gonna explode."

Tuss felt a surge of frustration. First, she had to handle sixteen rampaging alphas, and now she had to soothe this alpha whose Sea of Consciousness was nearing its peak of chaos. With such a heavy workload, it would only be odd if she weren’t having a headache.

"Want me to give you a massage?" Tuss asked.

Yuri hummed in response, a tacit acceptance.

Tuss laid her head on the armrest of the couch, his slender fingers pressing against her temples and gently kneading them.

Their intimate moment left Rei and the others speechless. Now they really wonder the relationship between the two.

About an hour later, the middle-aged man gradually woke up. As he opened his eyes, he felt an unusual tranquility.

He hadn’t felt this relaxed in decades.

The pain that had tormented him for years was now entirely gone, vanished without a trace.

"What’s your rank?" The man asked eagerly. He had tried A-tier betas before, but they provided temporary relief at best. His condition would revert to its previous state after a few days. He had even resorted to S-tier betas, paying a hefty price, yet had never experienced anything like this.

In recent years, even S-tier betas had ignored him, telling him to prepare for the worst.

From initial disbelief to eventual despair and acceptance, he had written his will a year ago. He had never anticipated that...

His gaze at Yuri grew increasingly intense.

Tuss frowned and stood in front of Yuri, saying, "Now that the treatment is over, shall we discuss payment?"

"One million astracredits," the man suggested.

Gasps filled the room.

Rei and the others looked at the man in shock. A million astracredits for a single session of psychic treatment—the rate was unbelievably high.

But to everyone’s surprise, Tuss wasn’t satisfied. "Too low," he said.

"Two million astracredits," the man gritted out.

"Five million astracredits," Tuss calmly countered.

"Five million is too much," the man refused.

"Not at all," Tuss shook his head, "You’ve tried an S-tier beta, you know if it’s worth five million."

The man pondered for a moment, then after three seconds, said, "Alright. But on one condition, I want her to perform my next psychic treatment."

Tuss frowned, looking back at Yuri, who without any hesitation agreed, "Alright. We’ll probably be here once every year or two."

To buy suppressants and gland sprays, Yuri added silently.

"Can I hold out for a year or two?" The man voiced his doubt.

"You’ll know once you try," Yuri turned around, speaking to the black-market commander, "Change these five million into tranquilizers, sell them to us at forty percent off the original price, okay?"

The commander’s face twitched, "That price is too low."

Yuri turned back to the man, "What do you think?"

The man stood up, stretched leisurely and said, "Go for it. Hmm, it’s been a long time since I felt this relaxed. I need to go back and get some sleep, I’m so tired."

An hour later, Yuri, Tuss, Rei, and the others left the black market.

Rei and the rest of the group looked back repeatedly, hardly believing that they had walked out so easily.

"Next time, don’t be so reckless," Tuss said in a serious tone.

Rei and the others obediently apologized, "If we encounter such a situation again, we’ll call you, brother Tuss."

Tuss: "....."

Yuri couldn’t help but smile, "Yes, you can call your brother and Tuss."

"I really don’t want to encounter such a situation again," one of the betas said with lingering fear. "If we hadn’t run into brother Tuss and this lady today, who knows what would have happened."

"Brother Tuss, when we return to Planet Alpha, I’ll treat you to a big meal," Rei offered.

Tuss didn’t respond.

"Brother Tuss, are you going back to school next semester?" Rei asked, as he had always been carefree and had followed Tuss and his brother since he was a child, he wasn’t afraid to ask questions that others dared not ask.

Tuss paused, looking at Yuri, and she happened to be looking at him. Their eyes met.

"We’ll see when the time comes," Tuss answered, looking into Yuri’s eyes.

After leaving the black market, Rei and the others didn’t dare to stay on 814 for long. They went straight to the spaceport. Yuri and Tuss had already bought everything they needed from the black market, and even had an unexpected surprise—a mecha. So, they decided to head back home.

Everyone said their goodbyes at the spaceport.

"Brother Tuss, Ender and I will be waiting for you on Planet Alpha," Rei said, reluctant to part.

Tuss responded indifferently, admonishing Rei like an elder, "Work hard when you get back, and try to stay out of trouble."

Rei replied with dissatisfaction, "My grades have always been in the top five in our grade. Besides, I never look for trouble, trouble finds me."

Yuri’s lips twitched, she thought to herself, "What a handful. Are he and Ender really brothers?"

"Sis Yuri, when you have time, come play on Planet Alpha with brother Tuss," Rei turned to Yuri.

With a playful intention, Yuri seriously replied, "Tuss and his wife will go, I won’t join."

Rei’s face twisted at the response, "But didn’t you say you get along well with his wife? You three could come together."

"Do you want a threesome for your brother Tuss?" Yuri’s tone suddenly became dangerous.

Rei shrank back, quickly denying it, "No, I never thought about that."

Yuri hummed in disbelief.

"Or, I could introduce you to my brother. Although he isn’t as great as Tuss, he’s still quite good, ow—"

Before Rei could finish his sentence, he let out a sharp scream, holding his butt as he leaped a few meters away.

Looking back at Tuss and his still extended crutch, Rei pleaded, "Brother Tuss, you’re so heartless. I was clearly trying to help you solve a problem, and you repay my kindness with your crutch?"

Tuss sternly responded, "I don’t need your help with my affairs. You should leave now."

"If I must leave, I’ll leave," Rei mumbled as he walked away. After a few steps, he turned back and shouted to Yuri, "Sis, there are countless handsome guys in Military Academy No. 1. You must come!"

The others also waved goodbye, saying, "We’ll see you on Planet Alpha."

After sending off Rei and his friends, Tuss and Yuri boarded their starship.

"Ender’s brother is quite a character," Yuri remarked.

Tuss still wore a disgruntled expression, and he looked at Yuri with a touch of discontent." He mentioned introducing you to his brother, and also wanted to bring you to meet the handsome guys at Military Academy No. 1."

Yuri raised an eyebrow, "Are there any guys at Military Academy No. 1 that are more handsome than you?"

No sooner had Yuri finished speaking than she saw Tuss’s mood lighten. His mouth curved into a confident smile as he replied, "No."
