Chapter 44 Two Slaps

Representatives from the Omega Association arrived at the scene within twenty minutes.

The situation was brought under control, and the coffee shop was cleared out. The Alphas were crouching against the wall, dejected, each shouting that they were innocent. Some were waiters, some were kitchen helpers, and two had even just happened to be passing by and had entered because they smelled the alluring pheromones.

"What's the panic? The problem started in this coffee shop. If we drag the boss down with us, this coffee shop is a high-end place, and the big boss behind it certainly won't want his reputation to be damaged."

"It was that Omega's own fault for not controlling his pheromones properly, is that our fault too?"

A short-haired girl from the Omega Protection Association walked by, heard this, picked up pepper spray and sprayed it at the person, causing continuous screams of pain.

"Excuse me for interrupting." Guan Yan had already composed himself. Apart from his face still being slightly flushed, his expression was very cold. "I just completed the acquisition of this coffee shop. I'm not afraid of damage to my reputation. On the contrary, I will sue you to the end."

The Alpha who had threatened to drag the boss down with him was stunned.

Suing to the end, and so many at once, would require a lot of time, energy, and money. Omega, on the other hand, is ready to acquire them, clearly not lacking in such paltry sums. In other words, they've bitten off more than they can chew.

"It can't be that bad..." A young Alpha lowered his head, his face full of regret. He had differentiated late and was not of a high level. He had never been in a relationship. He admitted that when he smelled the pheromones of a high-quality Omega, he had some wicked thoughts. He thought that once he completed the marking, wouldn't he be able to do whatever he wanted once the other party entered the subjugation period? At the moment he rushed forward, he felt that his identity as an Alpha was full of...

Pei Wu stood at the door for a while in the wind, and when he saw a Bentley with a familiar license plate drive up, he instinctively wanted to go inside the coffee shop, but he held back.

The incident happened suddenly, but Guan Yan was not injured at all, which is the best outcome. Lu Xiwen has no reason to be angry.

The car came to a stop, and Lan Zhe got out of the driver's seat. He quickly exchanged information with Pei Wu, but because the time was too short, neither of them understood anything.

Lu Xiwen got out of the car without Lan Zhe opening the door.

He was only wearing a white shirt, and his jacket looked like he had rushed out without even bothering to bring one. His superior physique gave off a slightly dangerous vibe.

Pei Wu raised his hand to rub his nose to cover it, but it was no use; the bruises on his face were very noticeable.

A tall figure loomed over him, and Lu Xiwen stopped in front of Pei Wu: "I heard you could take on ten people at once?"

Pei Wu: "...No, one against eight."

Upon hearing this, Lan Zhe instinctively stopped. How could Pei Zhu do something so infuriating?

Fortunately, Lu Xiwen didn't get angry, except for a sudden drop in his breathing.

Guan Yan waved to Lu Xiwen through the glass window.

"Are you alright?" Lu Xi asked, keeping a certain distance from Guan Yan as he entered, though his tone was concerned.

"Thanks to Pei Zhu," Guan Yan said lazily. "By the way, you still can't get used to Omega pheromones, huh?"

Pei Wu, standing behind him, twitched her eyebrows.

Guan Yan's pheromones were still leaking out in wisps, a very pure grassy scent.

Lu Xiwen said, "It's not that I'm not used to it, it's that I don't like it."

Even though he and Fang Xiao were developing a new inhibitor in Haicheng that was affordable and would benefit the Omega community, Lu Xiwen still couldn't accept Omega. It's like how some people like cilantro while others don't: he respects it and allows it, but he doesn't touch it himself.

The reason behind this remains a mystery.

"Pei Zhu only suffered some minor injuries." Guan Yan originally said this to reassure Lu Xiwen, but the other party repeated slowly, "A little?"

Guan Yan: "..."

Guan Yan surrendered, "I'll treat you to dinner another day. I'll offer discounts on the cooperation between Chang Rong and Zheng Qing, and I'll buy new coats to compensate Pei Zhu tomorrow."

Pei Wu: "No need."

Lu Xiwen turned around and looked Pei Wu up and down: "You tore your clothes while fighting? So..." Lu Xiwen suddenly narrowed his eyes, raised his hand to straighten Pei Wu's shoulder, and noticed two holes in his coat, "How did you get that?"

Before Pei Wu could speak, Guan Yan's interest in watching the show grew, and he pointed to an Alpha squatting in the corner and said, "That idiot bit him."

Pei Wu whispered, "He thought I was an Omega."

“Okay.” Lu Xiwen nodded, then patted Pei Wu’s arm: “Go wait for me in the car.”

Pei Wu was taken aback: "And you?"

Lu Xi said, "I'll stay and help handle it."

"I'll stay here too, just in case..."

“There’s no chance of anything going wrong.” Lu Xiwen said in a deep voice, “Get in the car.”

Pei Wu: "Okay."

Pei Wu turned around, and Lan Zhe followed her.

Once they reached the door, Pei Wu whispered to Lan Zhe, "Something feels off to me."

"Otherwise, why do you think I would run away?" Lan Zhe retorted.

"..."

Pei Wu got into the car and looked out the window, just in time to see Lu Xiwen pulling up that Alpha.

The Alpha wore an indifferent smile. His pheromone level was close to A, and his failure today was purely due to bad luck. Otherwise, a Beta wouldn't have been able to stop him. As for the Alpha in front of him, he couldn't smell any pheromones.

This disdainful thought was abruptly cut short by the moment it was completely suppressed by the overwhelming pheromones.

Alpha's expression went blank for a moment, then a deep fear welled up in his eyes. It was as if all his senses had been stripped away. Even when the sunlight fell on him, it felt like falling into an abyss. It was really terrible. His pride crumbled, and he even wanted to say a few words to beg for mercy, but Lu Xiwen had already slapped him.

Alpha was struck so hard he staggered, and suddenly felt something in his mouth. He spat it out, and it was blood mixed with two teeth.

"wait……"

Lu Xiwen slapped him again, and Alpha, in excruciating pain, went black and collapsed to the ground, motionless.

The attacks between Alphas are that straightforward.

Lu Xiwen stared down at the man, her eyes devoid of any warmth.

Guan Yan didn't dare to say anything, just to be on the safe side.

Lu Xiwen looked at the row of people squatting by the wall and suppressed their pheromones. The remaining people couldn't even make a sound. After a brief moment of blank stares, they trembled and hugged their arms tightly.

The expert's precise control over the pheromone's spread ensured that no one else present would be affected.

"You should go home too," Lu Xiwen told Guan Yan. "Call me anytime if you need anything."

“Okay.” Guan Yan was indeed tired. He left the coffee shop with Lu Xiwen, then went to the Bentley. After the window was rolled down, he looked at Pei Wu very gently. “Assistant Pei, thank you again. Let’s get together again when we have time.”

Pei Wu: "It's good that President Guan is alright."

Guan Yan smiled and said, "Just call me by my name."

QQ QQ—

Lu Xiwen gently knocked on the car door. Was he being overly sensitive? What was Guan Yan's attitude?

Guan made a hasty escape.
