Zhou Siyu never expected to see Lakaya here. He still remembered the fleeting glimpse of her at the black market auction. At that time, she was noble, beautiful, mysterious, and unpredictable, like a man-eating flower.
The person in front of me was still very beautiful, but the spirited look on her face was gone, her complexion was ashen, and her eyes had lost their sparkle.
Since Dr. Zhu's assistant was transferred to the front lines, Zhou Siyu, who was favored, became her temporary assistant. Today, he was still wearing a white round-necked robe, and his long silver hair, tied in a high ponytail, swayed back and forth with his movements. Finding it annoying, he casually tied his hair up with a pen.
“I remember you…” Lakaya, lying on the operating table, suddenly spoke. Her red eyes, hidden by her blonde hair, revealed no emotion. Her flat narration was devoid of any feeling: “You and an Alpha destroyed my territory.”
"Really? I don't remember." Zhou Siyu gently tapped her head. "My memory has never been good."
In fact, he always had a good memory. He remembered Lakaya and his covetousness for Yuwei, but in this battle, he was the victor.
“No, you have a good memory, judging from your reaction just now.” Lakaya pressed her temples and smiled. “It is my honor to be remembered by a beauty.”
“Is that so? It’s a pity I don’t like remembering what a dead person looks like.” Zhou Siyu tapped the computer screen. “Your pheromones and the marker are strongly incompatible… Now you have two choices: wash off the mark, or wait for death.”
“Is there a difference?” Lakaya touched his neck, a bitter smile on his face. “Everything here is his property, including the people.”
“You are you, he is him, you are an individual independent of him, independent of anyone else, you belong only to yourself.” Zhou Siyu stood up, carefully smoothed the wrinkles on her clothes, and put the printed report into the folder. “Those who beg for mercy are pitiful, because there has never been a god in this world.”
"You want to turn me against you?" Lakaya sat up, leaning against the headboard, her eyes filled with undisguised amazement.
“There’s no need for that.” Zhou Siyu shook his head. “I’m barely able to protect myself right now. Turning any of you against me would be pointless.”
"Your Alpha abandoned you? For what? Reputation, profit, or..."
“Perhaps.” Zhou Siyu shrugged and said nonchalantly, “I betrayed him, and he hates me.”
Lakaya focused her gaze on his abdomen and said softly, "You were forced."
Alphas' possessiveness towards Omegas is ingrained in their genes; even when outnumbered, no Alpha can readily accept betrayal.
"But that still doesn't change the fact that I betrayed him."
Zhou Siyu loosened her hair, and her long silver hair cascaded down like a waterfall, concealing the fleeting sorrow in her peach blossom eyes.
"He abused his power to issue a warrant for your arrest. Were you forced to come here?"
“I did it voluntarily.” Zhou Siyu tossed her hair and smiled slightly. “I wanted to see where his bottom line was.”
“He loves you, you’re lucky.” Lakaya put her hands behind her head and looked at the incandescent light above her. “Your test may not achieve the desired effect.”
"Perhaps."
There was a knock on the door. Zhou Siyu walked to the door and opened it slightly. "The situation is bad. Please ask the person in charge to come over."
"You are very capable and have no need to rely on any Alpha. Why do you still want to stay by his side?"
"Is this question difficult?" Zhou Siyu tucked a strand of hair that had fallen across her forehead behind her ear and smiled brightly. "Because I love him."
"You're strange."
“I know,” Zhou Siyu shrugged, “but I like myself this way.”
The person in charge, who had been alerted, interrupted their conversation. After reading the report, Dr. Zhu's already furrowed brows deepened. "This matter needs to be reported to the leader. Si Yu, stay behind and monitor the situation in real time."
"The leader..."
A man wearing gold-rimmed glasses was about to speak when he was interrupted by Dr. Zhu's gaze, "The leader will make his own decision."
Having said that, he left with his men.
“What do you think he’ll decide?” Lakaya leaned against the bed, her eyes full of sarcasm. “I don’t even need to guess; I know he’ll keep this thing.”
“Now that we know the outcome, what’s the point of guessing?” Zhou Siyu tapped the table. “You have other options.”
"Why are you helping me?" Lakaya raised her eyes. "Do you know how serious the consequences are for disobeying his orders?"
How serious is it?
"You will be tormented by him, unable to live and unable to die."
Are you scared?
Doubt, fear, and confusion surged in his eyes. Zhou Siyu smiled and said, "You probably didn't have a rebellious phase."
A person who is psychologically controlled has no chance of rebelling other than obedience. Even if a little bit of rebellion arises, it will be stifled by themselves.
"Your rebellious phase is likely to last a long time."
Faced with Lakaya's teasing, Zhou Siyu raised an eyebrow, neither confirming nor denying, which was tantamount to admitting it.
"What do you need me to do?" Lakaya stood up and rubbed her wrist. "Although it's not fully recovered..."
"Be yourself."
Zhou Siyu opened the door, took the food and water that were delivered, placed them on the table, and began to eat by herself.
"You're funny."
Lakaya paused for a second, then sat down opposite Zhou Siyu and began eating her own food.
“This is a war with no suspense.” Lakaya didn’t look up, as if talking to himself, “His brutal rule has already caused great discontent.”
“But no one resisted, did they?” Zhou Siyu took a sip of porridge, lazily squinting her eyes like a cat. “From the time you can remember, the concept you’ve been taught is that he is your everything, someone you must submit to. Without him, you are nothing.”
