Chapter 225 He is a special Alpha
As soon as the words fell, the faces of all the Lehman people present suddenly darkened, and there was a brief blank in the live broadcast barrage.
Alphas are the creatures with the highest self-esteem in the Leman Empire. Because they have been the center of attention for a long time, these Alphas, especially the noble Alphas, will not tolerate any contempt or offense.
An Alpha was about to retort when he suddenly heard a charming voice behind him, "It's so lively here, what are you young people doing?"
Someone immediately recognized that the person was Duke Situ, and immediately moved to the sides to make way for him.
When I looked again, I found that not only Duke Situ and his wife, but also the Duke of Thebes and his wife Yuan Ge had come.
After seeing the arrogant Omega boy sitting next to the virtual chessboard in the middle of the crowd, the Duke of Thebes suddenly smiled and said to Duke Situ, "This is the proudest child of Desai and me, Hadi. He is a very good Omega and the best gift God has given to the Thebes family."
After saying that, the Duke of Thebes looked at the boy lovingly, "My lovely little Hardy, did you have fun tonight?"
The Omega named Hardy curled his lips immediately, crossed his arms and complained, "I get along well with Lehman's Omegas, but father, the Alphas here don't know anything. We can't play together at all."
Although these words may seem childish, they openly mocked Lehman's Alpha again, which immediately made some arrogant young Alphas very angry. Without caring about anything else, they stood up and said, "They are just some simple gadgets. Who says we can't do it?"
After saying that, the Alpha immediately came forward and sat opposite Hardy, saying with a stern face, "Let me meet you!"
Seeing this, Duke of Thebes smiled happily to Duke Situ and said, "Little Hardy's chess skills are unmatched in Yuange, and your little Alpha of Lehman is really courageous."
Duke Situ curled the corners of his lips, having discovered that this Duke Yuange was just a child and had bad intentions.
Although he also wanted to brag about his own player, as a top noble, Duke Situ knew Lehman's Alpha better than most people present.
Therefore, although he was very unhappy with Yuan Ge's little tricks, Duke Situ also knew that if nothing unexpected happened, Lehman's Alpha would have no chance of winning in these small activities.
In particular, the young Alpha who is now playing against Hardy, if he remembers correctly, seems to be a child of the Keynes family.
The Keynes family is the family of the eldest prince's mother. With the support of the emperor over the years, although it has barely become a first-class family and has always ambitiously coveted the position of the top ten families, the Keynes family's foundation is too weak, and the training of its children is a mess, which can be said to be birds of a feather as the eldest prince.
If the Situ family had not remained neutral, and did not want to take sides for the time being, nor did they want to offend either the Crown Prince or the First Prince, there was no way that Duke Situ would have let the little Alpha from the Keynes family in today.
But it was precisely because he knew exactly what kind of person this Keynes kid was that Duke Situ didn't even want to look at him.
But seeing that the Duke and Duchess of Thebes were very interested, Duke Situ could only be patient and keep smiling as he watched with everyone else.
"It's over, it's over. How dare that idiot Keynes do that? Does he know how to play Go?"
"I heard that he had studied for a while to seduce an Omega, and his winning rate was pretty good."
"Are you sure those Omegas didn't lose to him on purpose? Who knows if he would be angry if they won."
"...You've made me panic. If this is true, wouldn't Keynes and our Lehmann be embarrassed?"
"That's why I said how dare he go up there!"
Shen Qingzhu, who accidentally heard these whispers because of his high mental power: ...
He quickly glanced around and found that most of the Leman people who were watching had worried expressions on their faces. Even the Duke and Duchess Situ and Ji Mingfeng beside him had a heavy aura around them.
Shen Qingzhu then asked Ji Mingfeng in a low voice, "Marshal, how is this person's level?"
Ji Mingfeng gave him a look that was hard to describe.
Shen Qingzhu knew that Lehmann would definitely lose this game.
Sure enough, not long after, beads of sweat began to appear on the forehead of the Alpha from the Keynes family, and he did not give birth to a baby for a long time.
Seeing this, Hardy, who was sitting opposite him with his legs crossed, smiled playfully, "You were the first one to rush out. I thought you were so powerful."
After saying that, Hardy directly scattered the virtual white pieces in his hand, looked at the crowd with boredom, and said to them, "Playing chess with him is too boring. Do you have an Alpha in Lehman who is good at chess? If there is really no Alpha, I won't force it."
Having said that, the contempt on his face pierced the hearts of all the Leman Alphas present like needles.
Even the audience watching the live broadcast were angered by him——
[This Omega is too arrogant! An Alpha should come out and teach him a lesson! ]
[Is Mr. Keynes' chess skills so bad? I heard that he has defeated many noble Omegas? There are even Omegas who try every means to ask him out just to play chess with him? ]
[…Don’t flatter him. Everyone in the upper-class Omega circle knows that he likes to act with Omegas. The Omegas are all fed up with him but he still doesn’t know what’s going on. He must have hit a wall this time, right?]
[What the hell! So he is actually a idiot who is only seeking fame and reputation? Then he is embarrassing himself in front of Yuange! ]
[Chess is something that only Omegas learn. It's already amazing that Keynes is an Alpha and can play chess, okay? It's obvious that Yuange, the Omega, is deliberately causing trouble for him!]
[But if Keynes hadn't been so pretentious as to be the first to speak out, he wouldn't have been slapped in the face by this Yuange person at the speed of light, right? ]
[Although I hate the Alpha of the Empire, that is our own business! Can an Alpha come out quickly to suppress the arrogance of Hardy! ]
[Although, even if there is such an Alpha, it is impossible for him to be able to arrange flowers, make perfumes, and play musical instruments, right? ]
[So we can only watch those Yuange people speak nonsense in Lehman’s territory? I’m so angry! ! ! ]
Like many netizens, the Lehman people present felt a bit angry after hearing what Hardy said.
However, no matter how hard everyone looked, they couldn't find an Alpha who played chess better than Keynes.
Thinking of this, everyone became even angrier and looked at the host of the banquet, Duke Situ.
Duke Situ remained calm upon seeing this, because he knew very well that many people had fallen into the self-proof trap set by Hardy.
Just when Duke Situ was about to speak up to resolve the awkward situation, he saw Keynes, who was sitting opposite Hardy, suddenly stand up.
Duke Situ's heart sank suddenly, and he suddenly had a bad premonition.
But before he could stop the idiot from the Keynes family, he saw the idiot Alpha, whose face had already turned red, suddenly looked at the crowd and said with a slightly distorted expression, "Why not? Don't you Yuange know that we in Lehman have a 3S-level Alpha who is famous throughout the empire!"
Everyone: ...
Live barrage: ...
No! Why are you cueing Shen Qingzhu for no reason?! Don’t you know that Zhu is a commoner and there is no way he can play Go?!
What on earth is Cairns trying to do?
Faced with everyone's incredulous gazes, Keynes, who felt deeply humiliated, no longer cared about anything else.
The reason why Keynes came to the banquet today, besides being curious about Yuan Ge's Omega, his biggest purpose was to meet Shen Qingzhu, the 3S-level Alpha who dared to get together with Ji Mingxue.
It was all Shen Qingzhu's fault for hiring a lawyer to go after the pharmaceutical companies under the Keynes family, determined to recover his father's patent fees, and also exposing tax evasion and bribery. Otherwise, the Keynes family's companies would not have gone bankrupt one after another, causing his pocket money to shrink by more than half!
The eldest prince's cousin also hated Shen Qingzhu, this ungrateful guy, and wanted to get rid of him as soon as possible.
Because of this, Keynes wanted to meet Shen Qingzhu at the banquet today. If he could find an opportunity, it would be best to destroy that guy directly.
But what Keynes didn't expect was that Ji Mingfeng stayed by Shen Qingzhu's side like a dog-skin plaster today, leaving Keynes with no chance at all.
Keynes was feeling annoyed when he heard Yuan Ge's little hot pepper talking nonsense again.
Keynes, who has always been invincible among Omegas, immediately decided to teach this Omega a lesson on how to behave.
But in the end, he was humiliated by this little Omega.
And this was done under the watchful eyes of so many nobles from both countries!
Keynes' mind went blank and his eyes turned red. He wished he could kill that arrogant little Omega on the spot!
But he still remembered the current situation to some extent, and he knew that he couldn't afford to offend that Omega for the time being.
Just as Keynes was trying to suppress his anger, he suddenly caught sight of the glittering figure in the crowd.
After seeing Shen Qingzhu's beautiful face that was ignorant of the world and had no guard at all, Keynes' malice immediately burst out and directed it directly at Shen Qingzhu.
Don’t those blind Omegas in the empire worship Shen Qingzhu as a god?
Didn't everyone think that Shen Qingzhu was perfect and without any flaws?
He wanted to pull Shen Qingzhu down from the altar! Let Shen Qingzhu and him lose face together!
If Shen Qingzhu loses face abroad, the Ji family and Ji Mingxue might be dissatisfied with him, and Ji Mingxue might even break up with him directly.
Thinking of this, Keynes' anger suddenly subsided a lot. He stood up and made a "please" gesture to Shen Qingzhu in the crowd.
Shen Qingzhu: ...
Seeing his speechless expression, Ji Mingxue, who was watching the live broadcast, suddenly burst out laughing. But when her eyes fell on Keynes' face, her expression suddenly turned cold.
Keynes's thoughts were so clear that not only he, Shen Qingzhu and the other nobles, but even the netizens who were watching the live broadcast could probably see most of it.
Just as Ji Mingxue had expected, the barrage was immediately filled with countless words cursing Keynes.
Seeing this, Yuange's Hardy also looked at the tall and graceful Shen Qingzhu with interest.
Hardy was very tolerant and interested in this Alpha who was so beautiful that it was hard to tell who she was, and who was as elegant and gentle as a banished immortal.
Of course, he could see that the idiot who played chess with him before was deliberately making things difficult for Shen Qingzhu. Hardy had also read the biography of Lehman, the only 3S-level Alpha, so Hardy knew that Shen Qingzhu, who grew up in an orphanage, had no conditions to study these aristocratic courses.
Hardy didn't want to embarrass Shen Qingzhu, so he immediately restrained his contempt and softened his voice. "Mr. Shen, if you are not interested in chess, we can play something else."
A group of nobles: ...
All netizens: …
[No! Why is it clamped up? ? ? ]
[Hahahaha help! Could it be that Yuange’s Omega has fallen for Zhu Zong? ! ! !]
[The tonic Wah Zhu always belongs to our President Ji, hahahaha! ]
Facing the shocked, teasing or amused looks of the crowd, Shen Qingzhu remained calm. He only glanced reassuringly at Ji Mingfeng and the Duke and Duchess Situ who were looking at him with concern.
After that, Shen Qingzhu slowly walked out of the crowd and came to the virtual chessboard. He ignored Keynes who was full of malice, smiled slightly at Hardy who was obviously showing goodwill to him, and said softly, "Although I am not good at chess, I often play a few games with my friends."
"You and Yuange have come from afar, and Lehman will not let you go home disappointed."
"please."
——He is such a special Alpha.
Hadi thought to himself.
Ever since Shen Qingzhu walked out of the crowd and sat elegantly opposite him, it only took three sentences to completely stabilize the slightly anxious and out-of-control atmosphere.
Although it is not known whether Shen Qingzhu was pretending or just holding on like Keynes, even if he was holding on, he had said before that he was "not very good at chess", so even if he lost later, he would still be able to maintain his self-respect and demeanor.
What a smart man.
Yuange people have always been passionate and like to express themselves directly.
Therefore, Hadi immediately said to Shen Qingzhu with shining eyes, "You are so smart, good-looking, and have a good temperament. I like you!"
There was a sudden gasp from the crowd, and the live broadcast barrage exploded.
On the contrary, Shen Qingzhu, the person involved, after seeing Hardy's puppy-like clear eyes without a trace of ambiguity, inexplicably remembered those Omegas who always looked at him with the same eyes when he was still an Omega.
Therefore, Shen Qingzhu just smiled and said gently, "Thank you."
Hardy smiled even more happily, and immediately handed the black piece to Shen Qingzhu and played with the white piece himself.
After this, the two of them officially started this new game of chess.
