Chapter 108 I Once Had an Omega
"Please, Mr. Pei." Lai Si led Pei Wu to the back garden and casually introduced, "You are very lucky. The Crescent Moon Epiphyllum cultivated by the patriarch will bloom tonight. Its petals are like stretched silk, and they become translucent when exposed to a little light. It is very beautiful."
Pei Wu wore a loose, dark red silk nightgown, which made his skin appear even whiter, making him look less human and more like a carefully dressed-up gift.
Pei Wu, wearing slippers, followed closely behind, maintaining a distance that made her feel safe.
Leith noticed this detail and a disdainful smile curled at the corner of her lips.
Lai Si loves beauty and is competitive. Lu Xiwen's deep affection for Pei Wu makes him unconsciously compare himself to her. After the initial amazement, Lai Si finds her to be nothing special. To be precise, it is after discovering that Pei Wu is particularly timid.
He was so startled when he knocked and pushed the door open that he jumped.
The compatibility is truly phenomenal, capable of turning a top-tier Alpha like Lu Xiwen into a loser beneath the surface.
The night air in the manor was gentle and breezy, as if it didn't want the crescent moon in the garden to fade into nothingness. The air, the atmosphere, everything seemed just right.
Amos sat in the pavilion where he had previously met Lu Xiwen, wrapped in a long black robe that perfectly concealed the bandages underneath. He brewed tea, and the strange pleasure in his heart reached a whole new level.
Did Lu Xiwen know that his Omega was the same as his own?
Did Pei Wu know that the Alpha he longed for was actually right under his feet?
That's so interesting.
“Mr. Amos.” Pei Wu spoke softly, like a small animal that was easily frightened. His frame was not large, and he had removed his pride and the things that supported his soul. He was just like a beautiful but useless puppet.
Amos stared at Pei Wu for a moment, then asked, "If I may ask, how compatible are Mr. Pei and President Lu?"
Pei Wu lowered her head shyly, "Ninety-six percent."
Amos looked surprised: "It's very high."
Pei Wu: "Yes."
Actually, they hadn't tested it. Pei Wu was relying on her own instincts, and Lu Xiwen was even more certain. He firmly believed that his pheromone compatibility with Pei Wu was 100%. If it wasn't, then there was something wrong with the machine.
As she spoke, a crescent moon flower bloomed with a crisp "pop" sound.
The speed was slow, but visible to the naked eye. Just as Leith said, the petals stretched out like delicate silk. When a glimmer of light fell on them, the outer ring quickly became translucent, exceptionally beautiful.
After a brief silence of appreciation, Amos spoke: "I once had an Omega too."
His voice, like fine wine, resonated in the darkness, possessing a magical power that captivated those who sought to immerse themselves in it.
A top-tier Alpha recounted his past, and even Ras listened intently.
“We were once as loving as you are.” Amos took a sip of tea, falling into those chaotic memories that he remembered constantly, yet which faded and blurred with time.
“He’s not a particularly handsome Omega, but he’s very kind. We’re childhood sweethearts. I knew from a very young age that we would get married in the future.” Amos said, then smiled shyly. “We knew the results of the genetic testing beforehand. After graduating from university and starting work, we registered our marriage when he turned twenty-four.”
"The day I got our marriage certificate was the happiest day of my life. He worked at a magazine as an editor." Amos's eyes were filled with deep longing. At this moment, he pretended that his lover was right beside him, and his outstretched fingers seemed to be caressing a familiar outline.
Pei Wu listened quietly.
Amos, seemingly lost in thought, gradually lowered his voice, "But this gives others the opportunity to approach him at will."
"People's curiosity about top-tier Alphas has never ceased, and this curiosity, coupled with the enormous lure of profit, can drive people completely mad."
Amos, who had been gently caressing the teacup, suddenly tightened his grip until his knuckles turned white, and the veins on the back of his hand throbbed wildly, as if he had been pulled back into that moment of despair.
“They kidnapped my Omega in order to make me a test subject,” Amos said. “In the final explosion, my lover paved the way for my escape with his life.”
Pei Wu's heart trembled, and she suddenly realized something: "You are the one who left K Country back then and suppressed the entire Alpha Association? It's not just a rumor..." Pei Wu's gaze fell on the Mamba snake coiled on Amos's wrist.
"Rumor has it that my pheromone entity is a polar bear?" Amos chuckled. "No, that's just an animal friend of mine."
"My information became a top secret in Country K. After that, they kept trying to contact me and get me back. They naturally didn't correct the erroneous statements from the outside world."
Pei Wu continued, "I see."
"Mr. Lu, you've faced the same situation as me, haven't you?" Amos's tone became even softer, like a murmur full of chanting. "Don't underestimate human nature. When these so-called ants that can be crushed by a single hand by a high-level or top-level person gather together and reveal their murderous intent, even I, at my peak, will be covered in wounds."
"Since they believe in the law of the jungle, why should I follow the rules?"
Amos's face turned pale, and his words were profound: "My lover warned me back then, but as you know, one of the biggest flaws is arrogance. I was full of enthusiasm, but I was given a great responsibility by the people in Congress to benefit the people, and I gave it all up. When I left K Country, there was constant gunfire behind me, and countless of my close friends and relatives died. They would rather I sink to the bottom of the sea than leave alive."
Pei Wu admitted that even if Amos's words were only meant to move him, they still had a great impact.
When Lu Xiwen was just beginning to differentiate, he was quietly turned into an experimental subject, causing Tuanzi to become stressed and unwilling to come out for a long time. Later, the association would investigate repeatedly and determine the danger level at the slightest sign of trouble.
Compared to the leniency shown towards ordinary people, the standards for top performers are hundreds of times stricter.
But that's because those at the top also possess danger and power hundreds of times greater than others.
Pei Wu tried to imagine what he would do if he were in that situation.
The answer is obvious: he will not let any of those who harm Lu Xiwen go unpunished, but that does not mean he will want all living beings to perish with him.
Pei Wu's profile was gentle and calm, as if she were lost in deep thought. "To be honest, even the slightest move by Xi Wen in China would trigger a massive investigation by the Alpha Association."
Amos patiently asked, "Did Mr. Lu do something wrong?"
Pei Wu shook her head.
"Do you think this is fair?"
The word "fairness" ignited a new flame in Pei Wu's eyes, and he repeated it as if possessed: "Unfair!"
Amos smiled.
