Chapter 88 Keeping an Eye on the Side

Lu Xiwen did indeed feel that the release and absorption of pheromones in his body were being hindered to some extent, and that the loss was increasing exponentially.

Wu Lian must have been watching him for a long time. Chu Lin was the beginning. In the past few days, he has been spreading some medicine through the air circulation in the room and building a shield to accelerate the consumption of his pheromones. In the current situation, there are four high-level opponents. Although Wu Lian is old, his pheromones can still easily defeat A-level opponents. Neither Pei Wu nor Guan Yan can be allowed to suffer any harm.

No matter how much the Guan family pursues them afterward, once an Omega is severely injured by a high-ranking being, their ability to accept glands and pheromones will become a lifelong problem.

“Mr. Lu, you’re a businessman,” Wu Lian said. “Why do you have to go against the grain? The contract I have is still very favorable to you. Fang’s research results are a major breakthrough. If we adjust the price slightly and share it, everyone can make a fortune.”

Lu Xiwen snapped his fingers, making the pheromone barrier surrounding Pei Wu and the others even stronger.

Wu Lian possessed exceptional insight, and his expression immediately changed. "Get out of the way!"

The next second, Lu Xiwen was already right in front of him.

His expression remained unchanged, and his gaze toward Wu Lian was extremely calm. Yet it was precisely this calmness that sent chills down one's spine, as if Lu Xiwen didn't care at all about what Wu Lian had painstakingly analyzed and explained. Ultimately, this stemmed from the utmost contempt in Lu Xiwen's bones.

Thinking of this, Wu Lian abruptly changed his dodging posture. He raised his arm to meet Lu Xiwen's hand chop, the cold light from his sleeve piercing the eyes. It was faster than a second. With a "clang!", the dagger cut into Lu Xiwen's expensive watch, and a crack appeared on the dial.

Lu Xiwen breathed a sigh of relief, thankfully he wasn't wearing the one Pei Wu had given him.

Wu Lian immediately changed his attack, but Lu Xiwen was even faster. This feeling of being able to sense danger but being unable to avoid it was extremely unpleasant.

Wu Lian instinctively raised his knife, but his wrist was twisted by a huge force, and the dagger fell to the ground. At the same time, Lu Xiwen caught it steadily with his other hand.

A sharp, vertical slash of cold light flashed past Wu Lian. He could even feel the chilling coldness cutting through his pores and breaking the airflow. Wu Lian's pupils contracted sharply, and without hesitation, he focused all his abilities on speed, pushing off with his legs and retreating like lightning. However, a few hairs were still cleanly shaved off.

"Chu Lin!"

Looking at the figure blocking his way, Lu Xiwen coldly commented, "A leopard can't change its spots."

"..."

Chu Lin wanted to curse, but he didn't have the energy. In the blink of an eye, he and Lu Xiwen had already exchanged blows several times. The collision of pheromones and even their bodies produced a cold, hard sound carrying the chill of the wind.

The smell of gunpowder exploded, almost surging towards Lu Xiwen, but the scent of winter was even more ferocious.

Solidified air arrows appeared behind Lu Xiwen, giving him no time to catch his breath. As Chu Lin was kicked away, air arrows rained down on him and Wu Lian.

The already mangled tables, chairs, and benches were instantly reduced to dust.

Two other high-ranking individuals rushed forward from the left and right. Lu Xiwen dodged one of their attacks while simultaneously grabbing the other's collar with such force that only a god could budge him.

With a loud "bang!", the Alpha who had been grabbed by Lu Xiwen was slammed to the ground, and spiderweb-like patterns exploded around him.

As the noise subsided, Lu Xiwen got up and walked towards Wu Lian.

"Grab that Omega!" Wu Lian shouted, pointing at Pei Wu.

These words were the spark that ignited the air. Lu Xiwen's originally calm eyes suddenly darkened, and his pheromones became several times stronger. Wu Lian felt a blur before his eyes and was lifted up and thrown out.

After arcing through the air, Wu Lian lost control and smashed the glass behind Pei Wu and the others. He flew far away, skimming across the sea, like a stone skipping across water that couldn't stop.

Beyond the restaurant, at the end of a seaside path, lies a garden full of gimmicks and highlights.

The newly opened tulips of various colors were smashed to pieces by Wu Lian, who broke through the cement barrier.

The next second, Lu Xiwen jumped out through the large hole that had been smashed open.

His movements were incredibly swift; the entire fight, from the moment he made his move until now, had lasted less than three minutes.

Chu Lin's expression changed drastically, and he immediately chased after her.

"Arrest them!" a high-ranking officer shouted.

Chu Lin said coldly, "Catch my ass! If he punches you again, your boss will be dead."

Chu Lin brushed past Guan Yan.

The Alpha's gaze seemed to shift slightly, but the Omega remained dignified and elegant, keeping his eyes straight ahead.

Chu Lin was right. If he hadn't appeared in time, Lu Xiwen's punch would have driven Wu Lian into the ground.

In the instant he blocked Lu Xiwen's path, Chu Lin grabbed Wu Lian's shoulder and quickly retreated.

Wu Lian was breathing heavily; after all, he was getting old, and his control over pheromones could not be maintained for long.

"I told you, it's too early," Chu Lin said coldly.

Wu Lian wiped the blood from his mouth and chuckled, "Really?"

That was a sealing agent specially developed for Lu Xiwen by Aila Biotechnology. The more he used his pheromones, the stronger the subsequent backlash would be. Not to mention that he had been consuming pheromones these past few days in order to help his Omega successfully get through the fever period. Wu Lian did not believe that he was an iron man.

The two high-level opponents of Pei Wu were blocked by Kuang Junmeng and Cao Guan.

With the pheromone barrier left by Lu Xiwen, they can hold out for at least five minutes.

"Watch me avenge you!" Kuang Junmeng was eager to try.

"Step back a little," Cao Guan said. "You're only an A-level."

Kuang Junmeng immediately raised his voice: "Looking down on people?!"

Here, Wu Lian no longer confronted the enemy head-on, but instead focused on dodging.

His prediction was correct; aside from the first few minutes, Lu Xiwen's offensive gradually weakened.

Lu Xi felt as if the pheromones in his body were being dragged forcefully by a swamp that had appeared out of nowhere. His once nimble arms felt as if they were bound with lead weights, and a suffocating feeling spread from his chest.

But as Chu Lin kicked him in the shoulder, Wu Lian was finally caught by him again.

Chu Lin instinctively closed his eyes upon seeing this.

After a loud crash, Wu Lian's head smashed into a flowerpot, and the broken tulip was planted deep in the soil. Lu Xiwen's hand, which was holding his hair, was half buried in the soil, and then blood flowed down Wu Lian's neck.

Chu Lin thought to himself, "I'm getting old. No amount of persuasion will help." Wu Lian felt like he had been through countless battles because he had once used tactics to suppress a top-tier player.

After a brief silence, Wu Lian burst out of the ground, sending mud flying three meters into the air. His face was disheveled and unreadable, but his eyes had turned completely cold. He no longer smiled and glared at people, revealing a sharp, diamond-shaped profile.

It's clear that Lu Xiwen's "humiliating" tactics finally broke Wu Lian's defenses.
