Chapter Twenty-Six: An Unexpected Meeting
Two hours earlier, in a mansion on the main planet Celia:
Luo Yanchuan studied his reflection, a hint of satisfaction in his eyes.
The mirror revealed an alpha in a white suit, the impeccable tailoring emphasizing his lean frame. His short, golden hair, slightly tousled, shone like sunlight, and his blue eyes sparkled like gems, captivating all who gazed upon them.
His lips were slightly pressed together, hinting at a mixture of nervousness and anticipation.
He had spent ages searching his closet for this outfit; formal wear was not usually his style.
But he was going to see someone today, so he dressed so formally. Just thinking about that person made him smile slightly.
No, what's he happy about?
Luo Yanchuan withdrew his smile and thought to himself with a serious expression.
Just wait, he'll definitely find something on that girl today and make her repent.
Two days ago, he received a message after being scolded by his brother.
It was sent by that wretched beta through a student account on the school's intranet, asking me to meet him at a coffee shop near Icleus at 9:30 this morning.
So her name is Shi Chu. It's a pretty name, but she's not a very nice person.
She always treats him coldly, playing hard to get. Hmph, he's seen right through her little tricks. If she hadn't sabotaged him, he wouldn't have…
The Alpha's ears suddenly turned red without him realizing it, and he quickly interrupted his wandering thoughts.
He took a deep breath to calm his somewhat agitated mind. He made his final preparations before setting off, carefully tidying his appearance, with every movement carrying a subtle sense of solemnity.
Fortunately, his brother was out in a meeting today, which made it easy for him to sneak out.
Although he had promised his brother that he would stay home and reflect on his actions for the next few days, the fact that the beta had taken the initiative to meet him meant that he couldn't wait any longer and was about to reveal his true colors.
How could he miss such a rare opportunity?
He seemed to suddenly remember something, and quickly returned to his room. He pulled out an inhibitor from a drawer and skillfully injected himself.
In three or four days, it will be his most vulnerable period. Alphas' pheromones are harder to control during this time, especially since he lost control in front of that beta last time. He needs to take precautions this time.
He should be fine after taking the suppressant; he's still quite confident in his self-control. Last time was just an accident, he's sure he can control his pheromones again.
Everything is ready; he can set off now.
You cunning and despicable beta, I will expose your true colors soon.
Meanwhile, in a café next to Icleus College.
Wu Li was calmly arranging the relevant matters. This coffee shop belonged to the Leet family, but few people knew about it.
That day, he had Shen Xiuyin use that beta-grade personal terminal to send a message to Luo Yanchuan, asking him to meet on Saturday. He was just trying his luck; if it worked, he could easily complete his plan.
Surprisingly, it actually succeeded.
He had just received information from his informant that Luo Yanchuan had come out of his brother's house and was heading this way.
It seems that Luo Yanchuan really cares about that beta.
Wu Li sneered. So what? It would be his soon.
He looked at the people in the shop and solemnly instructed them, "Later, you all pretend to be customers. If you notice anything amiss, don't let him escape."
Although he was confident that he could control Luo Yanchuan, he still needed to be on the safe side. If something unexpected happened, these people would be the last line of defense.
"Take him directly to the innermost private room," he told the staff, then turned and went straight to that innermost private room.
Wu Li sat down on the luxurious sofa, with two cups of coffee on the table. He stirred his coffee with a spoon in his right hand, his expression one of ecstasy and pleasure.
Under the table, in his left hand, he held a vial of unidentified liquid. The pink liquid flowed slowly in the glass tube, emitting an eerie fluorescence.
Soon, he will be able to complete his plan, become a superior person, and wield even greater power.
It'll be here soon, it'll be here soon, he suppressed his excitement.
He will definitely succeed.
...
Luo Yanchuan stepped into this coffee shop he had never been to before. Although it was located near the school, he would never come to a place like this.
The shop was filled with a strong aroma of coffee, and he frowned slightly, feeling a little uncomfortable. Alphas always have a keen sense of smell, let alone a top-tier alpha like him.
The overpowering smell was initially hard for him to accept. "That beta actually likes this kind of place?" he wondered strangely.
At this moment, the staff of the store came up to him and said respectfully, "Sir, your friend is waiting for you inside. Please come with me now, and I will take you to that private room."
"Hmm." Luo Yanchuan followed the staff inside, glancing around at the customers in the store, feeling something was off.
Why are they all alphas? Do alphas really like drinking coffee this much? How come he didn't know?
The staff quickly led him to the innermost private room, where he bowed and said, "Sir, your friend is waiting for you inside."
Luo Yanchuan pushed open the door and stepped inside. Suddenly, the door slammed shut behind him with a loud bang.
He raised an eyebrow, a smug smirk playing on his lips. That beta was indeed eager to reveal its true colors.
He calmly lifted the curtain at the door and walked steadily inside. However, when his gaze fell upon the person inside, his expression changed.
"How could it be you?" His voice unconsciously rose a few decibels, his words filled with astonishment and surprise.
"You've come." Wu Li chuckled, then suddenly changed the subject, "If it wasn't me, who else could it be?"
Could that beta be one of this guy's subordinates? Are the two of them in cahoots? Luo Yanchuan pondered to himself.
Although he doesn't know the exact relationship between the two, he understands that he has been tricked.
He gave Wu Li a look of disgust and turned to leave.
"What's the rush? Don't go." Wu Li spoke slowly. "What, are you so disappointed to see that it's me and not that beta?"
"Boring." The cold voice carried a hint of disgust.
Without turning his head, Luo Yanchuan left those words and headed for the door.
Wu Li suddenly stood up and slammed the medicine he was holding in his left hand to the ground.
"Smack!"
The transparent glass tube shattered instantly, and the pink liquid inside disappeared the moment it came into contact with the air, merging into the atmosphere.
A faint, strange scent quietly entered Luo Yanchuan's nostrils. His pupils contracted sharply, and his body stiffened abruptly.
It was an indescribable, highly seductive scent, as if an invisible hand was gently stirring his deepest, most primal instincts.
Veins bulged on his forehead, and his eyes were bloodshot as he stared at the smug-smiling Wu Li, saying each word clearly, "Alpha seducer, you're asking for death!"
Alpha attractants, due to past incidents of significant chaos and casualties, were banned by the Federation forty years ago, production was halted, all stockpiles were destroyed, and any remaining agents circulating in the public sphere were severely cracked down on.
How could he have such a thing?
Luo Yanchuan felt his rationality gradually slipping away. The period of heightened sensitivity, which was supposed to last for a few more days, suddenly erupted rapidly.
The alpha's strong instincts quickly overwhelmed his reason. His eyes were fixed on the beta who was walking towards him step by step, and every cell in his body was screaming wildly.
They shouted that they would tear him to pieces! So that the smile on that disgusting face would never be seen again.
Wu Li just smiled dismissively when he heard his words.
