No one can voluntarily expose their weaknesses to others when they are sober, not even lovers who have been together for ten years.
This is the instinct to protect oneself.
But now, Mephisto could even suppress his instincts. He sat on the swing and let Chien touch his forehead, slowly approaching him with his pheromones.
The next second, the little guy entered Mephisto's subconscious.
On a desolate land, there were severed limbs everywhere.
The deceased teammates and compatriots rest peacefully in Mephius's memory, in the same pose they were in before their deaths.
The stench of blood here was terrifying, but Qianyuan felt no fear.
Mephisto, who is as cold as ice, is not an emotionless machine.
All the gunfire, smoke, tenderness, and passion were buried in the homeland of his subconscious.
Qianyuan walked for an unknown amount of time, his feet stained with blood, before finally finding the only small flower that had sprouted and emerged from the desolate landscape.
Qianyuan knew at first glance that the blue petal was the image of him in Mephisto's eyes.
He was the only flower in Mephistopheles' barren world.
It was a rose that Mephius carefully nurtured, sheltering from the wind and rain with a glass dome, watering and irrigating it daily, a rose that belonged only to him.
Qianyuan returned to reality, just as she was being watched by Mephisto.
Mephisto knelt down on one knee before him. At this moment, there was no kinship, only the alpha's submission to the omega.
Mephisto gently lifted the back of Chien's hand and kissed his fingertips.
This is a gesture of utmost loyalty from a military alpha to their omega.
Seeing this, Qianyuan waited until her father got up and then knelt down on one knee in front of him.
He would never let his family make one-sided sacrifices.
Even if it's a vow, Qianyuan will vow to love and care for her father.
Mephisto looked at the mechanical hands supporting him, and Qian Yuan stared at him with bright eyes. His heart rate almost soared above the safe limit, and the mechanical spine began to emit a slight electric current to warn him.
But under such stimulation, Mephisto experienced for the first time what it truly felt like to be alive.
With his adrenaline surging, the scene seemed so vivid and real to him.
Until Qianyuan was blown by a strong wind and sneezed.
The little guy was already weak, and now he was even more vulnerable to a gust of wind. Mephius was so moved that he forgot about this, and quickly took off his coat and draped it over the little guy.
But it was too late.
It was as if the butler had a GPS tracker on them; as soon as Qian Yuan coughed, the butler would silently appear beside them with quiet steps.
The housekeeper was genuinely angry.
Mephius remembered that when he was a child, whenever they saw the butler with this expression, their father would appear before them a little while later with a whip studded with thorns.
Although no one can beat Mephius now, Mephius has become the head of the Lorenzo family.
But when Mephisto saw the butler smiling at him, he stiffly looked away.
The butler said coldly:
"General, didn't I tell you to take good care of the young master?"
Mephius honestly replied, "I'm sorry, it's my fault."
The butler said, "Then please take the young master back inside immediately and have a cup of brown sugar ginger milk. Please run there."
Mephisto carried Chiyuki back indoors in just thirty seconds.
However, Qianyuan unfortunately caught a cold.
He was wrapped up like a ball, obediently huddled in the chair drinking his medicine, while Mephisto stood outside the door being scolded by the butler until he couldn't even lift his head.
Muld, standing nearby, continued to mock, "It's been a long time since I've seen the butler this angry. He'll probably be nagged for another twenty minutes. Besides, he's so big, and he doesn't have an older sister or his mother protecting him. Nobody will sympathize with him now."
Before Muld could finish his gloating words, he saw Qianyuan looking at him with her big, watery eyes.
Muld: "No, wait..."
How could he possibly resist Qian Yuan's coquettish attacks? In the end, he took the initiative to help Mephisto fend off the butler's anger, resulting in both alphas being scolded by the butler until they bowed their heads.
Qianyuan watched from inside the door, her face beaming with joy as the butler coaxed her with two small snacks, and she immediately forgot about her father and uncle.
The two who were abandoned: ...
Mephisto had originally planned to bring Chiyuki to his office, but the butler just sternly urged them to hurry up and attend the meeting.
“I will not allow any of you to take him out until the young master recovers. General, you can’t fail in your duty again. The previous head of the family would not have let his child catch a cold, nor would he have pushed all the work onto his adjutant.”
Mephius was rebuffed and turned to go to the military headquarters with Muld.
Muld had expected to see surprised expressions from his old acquaintances in the military, after all, he was now a resurrected corpse. But when he arrived at the military headquarters, these guys weren't paying attention to him at all; instead, they immediately surrounded Mephius upon seeing him.
"General, something terrible has happened! Some idiot has leaked the kid's information!"
After Mephius had his cub appease his subordinates last time, he had warned and reprimanded them one by one. Mephius also knew that these subordinates were his comrades-in-arms who had fought alongside him through thick and thin, and that they would never betray him or his cub.
However, no matter how much you guard against it, it's hard to guard against a traitor within your own ranks. None of Mephisto's subordinates revealed anything, but unexpectedly, guys from other military departments who heard the rumors turned around and reported the matter to the Omega Association.
A closer look reveals that the alpha, whose mental state had collapsed, has not recovered in a normal way.
Aside from having an omega to comfort you, there are no other options.
But the association clearly didn't send any omega princes, so how were Mephisto's subordinates appeased?
Clearly, Mephisto is incredibly audacious to secretly keep and raise an omega, and a high-ranking one at that!
As soon as the association's announcement was released, Mephius was immediately thrust into the spotlight. Now Mephius only had two choices: either hand over Qianyuan or wait for the association to send its henchmen to investigate. Once concrete evidence was found, Mephius would be immediately taken to the Interstellar Court!
"These guys are going too far! They're clearly after your status and power, and they also want to take the kids into their own hands. They're practically taking everything they can get. These nobles are shameless!"
"Forget it, you know what kind of lousy things these remnant nobles have. They still think they're living in the imperial era. Enough said. If they come to investigate, we'll just fight them!"
The alphas all looked indignant, waiting for Mephisto's order to tear off the mask and confront the Omega Association head-on.
