“Are Omegas this vicious when they fight among themselves these days? They’d even go after someone top-tier like this.”
“What’s so surprising about that? The first step to climbing higher is getting rid of the competition.”
“If anyone’s to blame, blame this O for being unlucky.”
The fat, big-eared man looked pityingly at the Omega lying on the bed.
The person on the bed was breathtakingly beautiful. His stunning face looked as though it had been painted by an artist; one glance was enough to make it difficult to look away.
The fat, big-eared man began having ideas.
“Why isn’t Big Brother here yet?”
“What are you in such a hurry for?” The skinny blond man noticed the strange look in the fat man’s eyes. “What, you dare lust after him? Big Brother has his eye on him. He might even become your boss’s spouse someday.”
“You want to die just for thinking about it?”
The fat, big-eared man immediately protested when he heard that. “What nonsense are you talking about? I’m only looking. I’ve never seen an S-class Omega before. Am I not even allowed to look?”
The skinny blond man scoffed. “You’d better mean that.”
“But he really is good-looking. Instead of staying at a place like Elegance and fighting tooth and nail with everyone else, he’d be better off following Big Brother and living the good life.”
“Exactly!”
The fat, big-eared man and the skinny blond man began openly commenting on the person lying on the bed.
The moment Bai Qingyu woke up, his ears were filled with their appraisals. It had been a long time since he had heard anything this disgusting—and they were talking about him.
What should he do? He wanted to kill someone. A trace of icy killing intent flashed through his eyes.
Swallowing hard, the fat, big-eared man stepped closer, wanting a better look at the face of the beauty on the bed.
Just as he approached, the beauty before him suddenly lifted his eyes, the corner of his lips curving into a bewitching smile.
The smile was so captivating that the man instantly lost himself in it. It was not until a sharp pain exploded in his chest and his whole body flew backward like a torn sack, slamming heavily into the wall, that he let out a scream.
“Disgusting.”
Bai Qingyu lowered his leg and slowly sat up on the bed.
He flicked nonexistent dust from his fingertips, his tone utterly casual, as though the thing he had just kicked across the room had not been a person but a fly.
“You… how are you awake?” The skinny blond man stared at him in disbelief, his pointing hand trembling nonstop.
He spun around, intending to run outside and call for help, only for a gust of force to strike him in the lower back.
Bai Qingyu closed the distance like a ghost and kicked him straight into the cabinet.
Then he bent down, clamped a hand around the man’s neck, and abruptly tightened his grip.
“Talk. What is this place?”
The man could not breathe under the chokehold. His face turned a dark, liver-red shade.
Meeting those beautiful yet ice-cold eyes, he felt the pressure around his neck grow stronger and stronger,
as though it would be snapped apart in the very next second.
“Y-Blossom Fragrance Hotel! This is Blossom Fragrance Hotel!”
He shook like a sieve, forcing the words out through his throat.
Just as Bai Qingyu had suspected, after dying, he had actually crossed into another world. What was this supposed to be—rebirth after death?
He released the man and tossed him aside. Once freed from near suffocation, the man collapsed onto the floor and coughed violently.
He had no idea why this Omega had suddenly woken up and gone insane.
Bai Qingyu could not be bothered to look at him again. He walked to the window and yanked open the heavy curtains.
A breeze drifted in from outside, carrying the scent of the city, finally giving him a faint sense that all this was real.
Looking down through the floor-to-ceiling window, he could clearly see brilliantly lit, bustling streets below. Jumping from here might not be a bad idea.
“Bang—!”
The room door was violently kicked open, and a group of vicious-looking men stormed inside.
The scar-faced man in front cursed, “You damned fatty. No replies to our messages, no answer to our calls. Were you planning to keep him all to yourself behind our backs—”
The scar-faced man abruptly stopped when he saw the state of the room.
At the same time, a mechanical voice sounded inside Bai Qingyu’s head: [Mission executor confirmed.]
“Big Brother!” The skinny blond man coughing on the floor immediately scrambled over to the scar-faced man and pointed at Bai Qingyu. “This Omega’s gone crazy! He nearly killed me just now, and he kicked Second Brother unconscious!”
The mechanical voice continued inside Bai Qingyu’s mind: [Host, I am your mission-assistance System.]
[You have been chosen by the World Consciousness.] When Bai Qingyu did not respond, the System continued: [You need to cooperate with me to complete a mission.]
The scar-faced man’s gaze swept over the fat, big-eared man lying unconscious on the floor.
Then it returned to the man whose neck had been choked red. His eyes turned sinister. “Useless. You can’t even handle one Omega.”
After saying that, he kicked the man in front of him aside and looked at Bai Qingyu with a faint laugh. “Let me see just how capable an Omega can be.”
The System talked at length, only to discover that Bai Qingyu was not listening at all. It had guided so many Hosts before, but this was the first time it had encountered one who was this impossible to sway.
The scar-faced man also noticed that from the moment he entered, the Omega had remained as calm as still water, without the slightest reaction.
The young man stood quietly before the floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the scenery outside. His figure was tall and slender, his waist narrow.
His smooth, dewy skin gleamed pale beneath the indoor lights. From the elegant bone structure of his profile alone, it was not difficult to imagine how stunning his face was from the front.
Faced with a sudden transmigration, a System inside his head, and the danger before him, the young man seemed utterly unconcerned.
Anyone else thrown into a situation like this would probably have been in complete chaos by now.
But all Bai Qingyu was thinking was that if he jumped from the window, then none of this transmigration or System nonsense would have anything to do with him.
[Ding. The System has detected suicidal tendencies in the Host. Blocking protocol will activate immediately.]
The instant the notification ended, Bai Qingyu discovered that his body could no longer move.
Control?
A cold smile curled at Bai Qingyu’s lips. What he hated most was being controlled by someone else.
“Since you’re so damn attractive, how about you come over here on your own and make me feel good tonight? Then I’ll let you go.”
The scar-faced man’s lust-filled eyes roamed openly over Bai Qingyu, naked desire making him nauseating to look at.
Only then did Bai Qingyu finally spare the scar-faced man a glance.
A hideous scar ran from the corner of his eye to his jaw. Large black tattoos spread from his arms to his collarbone, and his whole body radiated the air of a thug. He looked every bit like a gang boss.
Bai Qingyu’s voice was icy and mocking. “You? You think you’re worthy?”
The scar-faced man was instantly enraged. “You refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit!”
He immediately barked an order behind him. “Get him!”
The System watched the scene unfold. It was waiting… waiting for Bai Qingyu to ask it for help.
Clearly, things did not go as it hoped. At the critical moment, Bai Qingyu actually broke free of its control and sent the man approaching him flying with a kick.
From that moment on, the System understood that this Host was simply not someone it could control.
Bai Qingyu moved so quickly that the eye could barely follow him. Every strike was precise and vicious. In the blink of an eye, seven or eight burly men were sprawled all over the floor, their groans rising one after another, sprawled all over the floor, their groans rising one after another.
The scar-faced man’s eyes nearly split with rage. He drew the short knife at his waist and stabbed it toward Bai Qingyu.
Bai Qingyu twisted aside. The two immediately became locked in combat. Tables, chairs, lamps, and vases shattered around the room, sending splinters and shards of glass flying.
The longer they fought, the more alarmed the scar-faced man became. He could never have imagined that an Omega who looked so delicate could possess such terrifying combat skills.
What he did not know was that Bai Qingyu had been one of the world’s top assassins in his previous life. His earlier ease was nothing more than a cat toying with a mouse.
The next second, Bai Qingyu’s gaze sharpened. His movements suddenly accelerated. He seized the scar-faced man’s wrist and twisted it back.
With a crisp crack, the short knife slipped from his hand.
Immediately afterward, Bai Qingyu drove a knee into his abdomen. As the man doubled over in agony, Bai Qingyu slammed him viciously to the floor and planted one foot on his back.
“Ugh—ah!”
The scar-faced man screamed, spraying a mouthful of blood onto the floor.
Bai Qingyu looked coldly down at the wretched man on the ground. He had not actually intended to kill him. After all, the scar-faced man screamed, spraying a mouthful of blood onto the floor.
Bai Qingyu looked coldly down at the wretched man on the ground. He had not actually intended to kill him. After all, he did not want to stain himself with these people’s filthy blood.
Just as he was about to lift his foot and leave, an unfamiliar pheromone carrying an overwhelming pressure swept through the room like something tangible, instantly blanketing the entire space.
It was the physiological suppression of a top-tier Alpha, carrying an irresistible coercive force that made his body tense beyond his control.
