Chapter 87 I don't recognize
It was a very ordinary name at first glance, but Pei Wu suddenly thought of something.
Alphas are aggressive creatures, and the various strict restrictions that society imposes on them today are all based on real bloodshed that has occurred in the past.
Eight years ago, when the system was not so perfect, fights often broke out among Alphas. The most common were in black market arenas. Low-ranking Alphas did not even have the right to enter because the arena represented no restrictions. Regardless of life or death, ruthless methods and pheromone attacks were allowed.
Often, after a match, the scene is a complete mess.
As for the Alphas that were killed, the number reached an astonishing, undisclosed figure.
Wu Lian, as the initiator, was wanted for a period of time. Back then, the black market arena caused quite a stir. Later, as various systems were improved, the social atmosphere finally calmed down, but that did not stop Wu Lian's name from still being sought after by some fanatical Alphas.
Pei Wu had heard of him; it was said that he couldn't stay in the country and went abroad.
Lu Xiwen looked Wu Lian up and down. "Is it about the inhibitor that the Fang family is about to release again?"
Wu Lian didn't refute, and there was no need to use any smokescreens or deceptions when dealing with Lu Xiwen. He smiled and said, "President Lu, I have an agreement here that you need to sign."
Lu Xi heard a cold voice, "Too lazy to look, won't sign."
"Mr. Lu, you'd better take my advice," Wu Lian said disapprovingly. "A smart person shouldn't pay the price for their arrogance."
Lu Xi, too lazy to utter a single pointless word, suddenly intensified his originally clear and crisp aura by hundreds of times, sweeping outwards like a hurricane!
Aside from those inside the barrier, everyone outside was affected. The top-tier pheromone strangulation was the most ruthless and unreasonable. The dome on the top of the restaurant, secretly formed by several high-ranking Alphas, seemed to have exploded inside. For a moment, the sounds of "crashing" and "banging" were like a symphony. Everywhere you looked, tea sets, tables, and chairs were either shattered or burst open.
Looking down from above, it looked like countless bombs were buried in one spot. The shield could initially handle it, but due to its terrifying destructive power, cracks quickly appeared around it. Pei Wu and the others were safe and sound in a semicircle about five meters in diameter.
Because the explosion was so loud, Kuang Junmeng could only shout at Cao Guan, "Who broke your head?"
"I crashed into him!" Cao Guan yelled back, "I did crash into him! But two high-level rank experts were chasing me the whole time. Didn't you guys notice? There's been no signal here for half an hour now! I couldn't contact you, so I rushed over here in a panic!!!"
Kuang Junmeng looked at Wu Lian, who was also hiding in the pheromone barrier, and said, "You blocked our signal?! You can't catch Lu Xiwen!"
Wu Lian probably thought such a shout was too stupid and ignored it.
Finally, with a violent "boom!" the dome shattered into countless fragments under the dazzling sunlight, its tumbling reflecting the shimmering surface of the Rainbow Sea not far away, before dissipating in the sea breeze.
The restaurant's roof was completely ripped off, revealing a bright, sunny sky. The lowly underlings, who had been there in name only, lay sprawled on the floor. The high-ranking Alphas, who had been hiding behind protective covers in the three corners, were also exposed.
One of them suffered the strongest pheromone attack from Lu Xiwen, and his face turned extremely ugly. The moment the shield collapsed, the support under his feet also broke. He swayed a few times on the exposed steel bars like a juggler, clearly trying his best to steady himself, but he was too conspicuous. Lu Xiwen casually wiped him with a pheromone attack.
The balance was broken, and Alpha fell straight down.
The height of three stories is nothing to a high-ranking person.
The landing posture was unseemly; he lay face down on the floor, quite close to Guan Yan.
Pei Wu felt that the back of that person's head looked somewhat familiar.
A moment later, Pei Wu asked, "Chu Lin?"
Chu Lin then raised his face, which was covered in dust and filled with resentment.
"It really is you."
Chu Lin: "Your mother..."
"Who is Chu Lin?" Guan Yan asked, tilting his head slightly. "The name sounds familiar."
Under everyone's watchful eyes, Chu Lin sprang to his feet, landing as if he were a steel plate, as if his entire body had been drenched in some kind of terrible emotion, his expression twisted and stiff.
Pei Wu felt it wasn't appropriate to discuss these things now, but Chu Lin's expression was hard to ignore, so Pei Wu whispered a reminder: "How did you get through your last fever period?"
Guan Yan: "We caught a red-haired guy."
Pei Wu gestured with her chin toward Chu Lin: "It's him."
"Are you colorblind?" Guan Yan asked. "Isn't he black-haired?"
“He’s dyed it back,” Pei Wu said. “Look at his face.”
Guan Yanzhen then turned her head and carefully examined Chu Lin.
With his quirky, gothic style and flamboyant personality, Guan Yan tried hard to ignore the studded gothic leather jacket and finally managed to focus his gaze on Chu Lin's face.
To be fair, the face is not bad, befitting a high-ranking status, but it's clear that the other person's background may not be very good. At least before the differentiation, he had not received any formal education. Guan Yan could even smell the unique mud smell on him. Not in a derogatory sense, but the peasant class is the greatest. After saying this to himself, Guan Yan turned to Pei Wu and said firmly, "I don't know him. You must be mistaken."
"..."
Pei Wu looked at Chu Lin and seemed to want to transform.
"Clap clap clap," Wu Lian clapped his hands and praised Lu Xiwen, "Breaking through the barrier set up by three high-level Alphas in one go, you truly deserve to be the only top-tier expert in Hongdu."
"But..." Wu Lian's tone shifted, a chilling white light finally appearing deep within his smiling eyes, "How is President Lu feeling now?"
Upon hearing this, Pei Wu immediately reached for Lu Xiwen's hand, only to find it a little cold.
Lu Xi heard this and pinched him to reassure him.
"Move aside," Lu Xi said. "Next time I won't be so polite."
Such a large-scale pheromone collision has already attracted outside attention, and the warning lines have probably been set up. It would be very troublesome to go to the Alpha Association to give a statement and explain.
More importantly, a hint of irritation flashed in Lu Xiwen's eyes. The most bloodthirsty and belligerent nature must be the strongest. Lu Xiwen had put a lot of effort into suppressing his nature and integrating it into normal social life, and he did not want to break the balance.
Wu Lian showed no intention of giving way: "President Lu, you've been indulging in your pleasures. I wonder what's been added to the air that's been entering your room these past few days? Some special substances that can suppress pheromones. Even top-tier people are human; they can bleed to death and exhaust their strength. Not to mention there are two Omegas here today. Can you guarantee they'll be safe and sound?"
"Go ahead and hit me," Guan Yan said. "If anything happens to me, the Guan family will hunt them down to the ends of the earth."
Cao Guan turned his head: "Are Kuang Junmeng and I dead?"
Chu Lin patted the dirt off his clothes and stood behind Wu Lian.
