Chapter 72 Terrible
“Pei Wu,” Lu Xiwen’s voice was cold, “You go upstairs first.”
The man scoffed. He was clearly mentally unstable. Even with his life hanging by a thread, he didn't try to escape. Instead, he muttered to himself, "One after another, they all have partners. Just because my pheromones can't find a suitable match, I have to live this kind of life? Why should I?"
The man forcefully pulled the mop away from Lu Xiwen's feet. "It was just that I let you feel my pheromones back then, and you've held a grudge until today. This world is really crazy. You people who live well have no empathy at all."
A loud "boom" sounded in Pei Wu's ears. Amidst the sharp and thin ringing sound, the scattered clues wove together into a line in the darkness, and then flashed sharply.
At the age of ten, Lu Xiwen's parents divorced, and he lived alone in the old house.
At age eleven, she began to reject Omega.
At the age of twelve, it differentiated into the top tier.
Pei Wu slowly leaned down, then suddenly grabbed the man's hair, forcing him to look at him amidst the man's pained groan.
Pei Wu's tone suppressed a tremor; his voice was soft and gentle, as if coaxing someone, "You let him sense your pheromones? When?"
Lu Xiwen's pupils trembled violently. He subconsciously wanted to stop Pei Wu, but in the end he only moved his fingertips and did nothing.
The man stared intently at Pei Wu, as if lost in a distant memory. After a while, he smiled smugly: "I remember now, Lu was eleven years old back then, wasn't he?" The man looked at Lu Xiwen: "Uncle..."
Before he could finish speaking, Pei Wu struck with lightning speed, punching the man in the face.
The man's left cheek instantly contorted, and his words were completely drowned out by a wail and the sound of a body slamming against a cleaning bucket. Because the hall was spacious, the clanging and banging noises were amplified several times over.
Mr. Zhang was startled, completely bewildered. Wasn't Assistant Pei supposed to be stopping people? Why did he start fighting after Mr. Lu finished beating him?
Pei Wu didn't want to think in that direction, but the facts were already quite clear.
Why was Lu Xiwen so averse to Omega pheromones, to the point of being unable to control them?
Blood spurted from the man's nose. He raised his hand to wipe it, then immediately screamed in terror, "Why are you hitting me...?"
"Stop pretending to be stupid." Pei Wu pressed down hard on the man's head, then examined the back of his neck and found a shriveled gland.
Pei Wu's face was colder than ever before. She slapped the man's cheek hard. "What were you showing off when you looked at Lu Xiwen just now?"
Perhaps the long period of unsatisfactory and turbulent life had made this man slightly abnormal, but the way he grinned at Lu Xiwen just now clearly showed the posture of a victor.
What's there to be proud of?
Was it a deep shadow cast on him at an age when the child hadn't even differentiated yet? Or was he proud that even the top Alphas, whom everyone now reveres, had once been intimidated and toyed with by him?
Pei Wu said coldly, "I'm not done with you yet."
The man's expression was initially one of stunned disbelief and fear, followed by intense interest; his pupils were almost inhuman.
"What can you do to me?" the man chuckled. "I'm not afraid of death. I'm just a worthless life anyway, so do whatever you want with me."
“No,” Pei Wu replied, “A truly fearless person would lie on a hard, dry bed without the strength to even move a fingertip. What you say doesn’t count; I have to try it.”
The man continued to play dumb, saying, "I was just joking."
Pei Wu suddenly jumped up, dragged him to the trash can, and kicked him so hard that he was embedded in it.
Pei Wu was about to fight again when Lu Xiwen grabbed him from behind and carried him away.
"Don't you mind getting your hands dirty?" Lu Xiwen changed his posture halfway through, now carrying him horizontally, and then said to the waiter who jogged up from the side, "Let's get a room."
He turned to look at General Manager Zhang, who, along with Xiao Cui, gave him very agreeable looks. "Don't worry about us!"
Lu Xiwen nodded and led Pei Wu into the room from the first floor to the third floor. On the way, he took the room key that the waiter rushed over to deliver and swiped it with a "beep."
Pei Wu stopped struggling at the beginning and hasn't moved since.
He lowered his head, his lips turning white from biting them.
Lu Xiwen placed him on the sofa, rubbed his thumb against the Omega's lips, and blurted out, "It's not as bad as you think. When my parents divorced, a maid who worked at home for seven years took care of my daily life. That idiot just now was his son."
The maid was always afraid of the Lu family's power, but she couldn't withstand the fact that Lu Xiwen's parents didn't come back for a long time.
With so much good food and wine at home, can a ten-year-old child finish it all?
At first, she only dared to let her son come over at night so she could cook him a nice meal. But after it happened a few times, Lu Xiwen, who was coming downstairs to get water, saw him. The boy didn't say a word, and the maid suddenly became bolder.
To put it bluntly, he's just a child. How could we not handle him?
She dared not skimp on food, and had to cook and take pictures every day to send to Tang Qingsu. The maid could tell that Lu Xiwen was a bit stubborn at this time and would not complain to her parents.
Gradually, her son came more and more often. Once, when the mother and son were chatting, the maid casually said, "That's amazing. I heard that the child has had genetic testing done. He's sure to be a high-ranking person in the future."
High-level Alpha? That's a group that men absolutely cannot come into contact with; he can't even be considered a C-level Alpha.
"Mediocrity in appearance, poor pheromones, life is so unfair," the man thought.
One evening, he looked at the light on in the study and suddenly went inside.
Although Lu Xiwen was eleven years old at the time, he was already growing taller and had a beautiful appearance.
"I only remember the disgusting expression on his face when he walked over in the dim light," Lu Xiwen said. "I told him to leave, and then he suddenly smiled and asked me if I couldn't detect Omega pheromones now that I'm about to differentiate?"
“I’m definitely close to differentiating, so I can smell it.” Lu Xi frowned as he thought of this. “It smells terrible. It’s the whole room. It’s like putting a bunch of dying seafood in a poorly ventilated room in the summer. The air is sticky and suffocating. I told him to get out, but he wouldn’t leave. I was about to leave when this idiot grabbed my ankle.”
Pei Wu's eyes flashed sharply: "What did he do?"
Lu Xiwen kicked the man away; the smell was so strong that he felt he could die if he stayed there for even a second longer.
Suddenly, Lu Xi heard a strange sound.
He turned around for no reason, and then it felt like he had been punched hard in the head, and his whole body froze.
The man knelt and lay prone on the ground, his body twisting slightly back and forth. When he saw Lu Xiwen turn around, hope appeared on his face, and he blushed deeply from his neck to his face. He asked in a high-pitched voice, "Is Uncle handsome?"
Lu Xiwen simply couldn't describe his feelings at that moment.
The man crawled forward like a ghost, completely losing his mind. He felt that being with a future high-ranking Alpha in such a nice villa made his life better.
The man spoke: "Xiao Lu, do you like Uncle?"
Lu Xiwen grabbed a stool from the side and smashed it down.
The maid rushed over upon hearing the commotion, and screamed as soon as she opened the door. The man, whose head was bleeding from being hit by Lu Xiwen, was still releasing pheromones, completely absorbed in his own world.
Lu Xiwen found it difficult to continue at this point, "He's not even like a human being, he's like a dog that's been spitting out 'q'."
This brought a devastating blow to Lu Xiwen's previously clean and bright life.
So that night, it wasn't that he didn't see Pei Wu, but everything around him changed too quickly, and it became a dim environment with a lump on the ground and the air filled with extremely foul-smelling pheromones.
