The Overworked Beta and the Paranoid Alpha 28

Chapter 28: Thrown into the Sea to Feed Sharks; You’re an Omega Too

Wen En looked up, towards the direction of the salty sea breeze.
The next moment, a tremendous force struck his left cheekbone.
Wen En felt his head being churned into a paste by this insane force. Before he could react, another huge force heavily struck his right cheek.
“How does it feel?”
Wen En heard Peter’s voice drifting by his ear:
“Mr. Tough Guy, this isn’t a movie set. You’re not the protagonist, and there are no stunt doubles.”
Before he could finish, a fist once again slammed into Wen En’s face.
Wen En hung his head, his eyes staring blankly at the concrete floor, as if he had been beaten senseless, unable to react for a long time.
“Speak,” Peter walked up to Wen En and patted his cheek.
Wen En raised his eyes and looked at Peter.
Just as Peter thought Wen En had finally submitted, Wen En said:
“Fuck you, Peter, you bastard.”
“…”
Peter should have been furious, but right now, he felt like laughing.
Just as he had thought, this silent, tough Beta had such a strong resistance to being beaten. He had probably undergone special training. Ordinary physical attacks couldn’t break him.
Peter was very angry, but he didn’t want to waste his energy on useless things.
So he said, “I see.”
Peter said to one of his subordinates, “Go and bring Charles Brown up.”
The Alpha to Wen En’s right nodded and left. Soon, he returned, pushing a black suitcase.
Wen En looked at the suitcase, but his mind was muddled from the beating, making it difficult to think, let alone predict Peter’s next move.
Peter patted the suitcase and said:
“Mr. Tough Guy, did you know? Charles, like you, always has a strange kind of confidence. He always sees me as the villain and you as the superheroes in a movie, wanting to defeat me and save the world.”
Blah blah blah, Peter rambled on. The more Wen En listened, the more his head ached. The phrases that came out of Peter’s mouth went in one of Wen En’s ears and smoothly out the other, leaving no trace in his mind, yet making him feel extremely uncomfortable.
“Can you shut up?” Wen En’s tone was filled with annoyance. “You’re bothering me.”
“…”
Peter’s face darkened.
He picked up a gun and fired several shots at the suitcase. The gun had no silencer, and the sound was extremely loud, making Wen En’s eardrums ache and completely waking him up.
Wen En’s eyes widened. He looked at the black suitcase in disbelief. Bright red blood flowed from the bullet holes. Charles, inside the suitcase, didn’t even have time to struggle before he died.
“Throw Charles Brown into the sea to feed the sharks,” Peter said.
Peter’s subordinate nodded and dragged the suitcase away.
“So, I’ll ask you one more time, where is Vulcan?”
“I don’t know,” Wen En’s voice was muffled and heavy. “I’m also looking for this gem.”
“Oh?” Peter said. “It seems the death of Charles Brown is not enough to make you afraid.”
Peter waved his hand. His subordinate followed his signal and pushed a monitor in front of Wen En.
Wen En’s pupils trembled.
He saw Romeo’s figure on the monitor.
Romeo, on the monitor, was like a circus lion, dying, locked in a cage.
His head was covered in bruises and dried dark red blood. He no longer had the clean, melancholic, handsome, and exquisite appearance of a male lead in an art film.
“Qiuyue, it’s your turn,” Peter said into the walkie-talkie.

“Roger.”
After replying, Qiuyue tossed the walkie-talkie aside.
He picked up a syringe. The blue liquid inside was a sex hormone inhibitor, usually used for Omegas in heat.
Without any hesitation, he aimed the syringe at the Omega gland on the back of his neck and pressed the switch. The blue liquid was injected into his body.
In fact, Qiuyue was far from his heat cycle. He did this only to avoid being implicated in what he was about to do next.
He threw the syringe into the trash can, then took out a metal neck guard, put it on, and pressed the switch. The metal neck guard immediately tightened around his neck, especially the Omega gland on the back of his neck.
Finally, he put on a transparent mask. This mask could help him filter out the heat pheromones of other Alphas or Omegas, so as not to cause irreversible consequences to his body.
Finally, he took out another new syringe. This new syringe was filled with a red liquid, like blood. But on closer inspection, it was brighter than the blood flowing through arteries.
This gave the red liquid a strange red glow.
Qiuyue left this place and walked to another room. This room was more like a cellar than a room. It was dark, damp, and smelled foul. If Qiuyue took off his mask at this moment, he could smell a faint Omega pheromone scent mixed in the air, which also smelled of metal and excrement.
Soon, Qiuyue found the person he was looking for in a corner of the cellar.
An Omega.
The Omega was curled up in a corner. His face and body were covered in whip marks, and blood seeped from the wounds, sticking to his clothes. His clothes were like a rag, tattered and sticky.
This Omega was the dealer who had worked in the underground entertainment venue below the butcher shop.
If it weren’t for his carelessness in revealing Peter’s whereabouts to Wen En, he wouldn’t have ended up like this.
Qiuyue sighed in his heart. He wasn’t sad for this person’s stupidity. He just lamented that such a blind person should have died long ago. Peter shouldn’t have kept him.
Despite his thoughts, Qiuyue did not kill him in the end.
He squatted down and patted the Omega’s face.
“Wake up,” Qiuyue said.
The Omega barely lifted his purple eyelids. When he finally saw that it was Qiuyue, he suddenly began to tremble.
“Sir… I know I was wrong, please…”
The Omega cried loudly. In fact, he hadn’t eaten for two days. He was in pain and hungry, but when he saw Qiuyue, fear still ignited what little strength he had left.
But he was really scared from the beating. How could that little strength be enough for him to fight back? He could only use his remaining strength to cry and beg, begging Qiuyue, begging Peter to spare his life.
Good, he still has the strength to cry. This Omega looked weak, but his vitality was stronger than Qiuyue had imagined.
Just like a cockroach, Qiuyue thought viciously. A cockroach that has been stepped on is still vibrating its wings, trying to crawl back into the sewer.
Qiuyue mercilessly grabbed the Omega’s hair, ignoring his struggles and pleas, and forced him to expose the back of his neck.
The next moment, Qiuyue took the syringe with the red liquid and plunged it into the Omega’s gland on the back of his neck.
As the red liquid was injected into the Omega’s body, the Omega stopped begging. He was still crying, but soon, a sticky sound came from his throat, mixed with his cries, which sounded extremely strange. At the same time, the Omega’s pheromones gushed out uncontrollably, like a flood on a rainy day.
It took effect faster than Qiuyue had imagined, but that wasn’t the point. It was time for the next step.
Qiuyue stood up, grabbed the Omega’s hair with one hand, and dragged him out of there.

Qiuyue came to a new room. This room was much cleaner and more spacious than the cellar just now, and there was no obvious stench.
In this room was a large cage. Inside the cage was also a dying, injured person.
“Romeo,” Qiuyue said the name.
The person in the cage did not respond.
Qiuyue opened the cage, dragged the Omega, and threw him in.
The moment the Omega was thrown into the cage, he screamed. He tried to crawl away, but Qiuyue was faster. He slammed the cage shut.
“Please, don’t lock me in with an Alpha… sob, sob, sob…”
Qiuyue did not respond. He picked up an iron rod from the side and struck the Omega’s chin. The Omega immediately fell to the side, clutching his chin and whimpering. But after this warning, he no longer dared to beg Qiuyue.
Qiuyue would not help him. Even if Qiuyue was also an Omega.
There was a lever next to the cage. Qiuyue pulled the lever, and a round hole appeared in the ceiling. Then, a large amount of water fell from the hole, washing over the cage and the people inside.
The Omega held onto the bars and coughed loudly. After finally coughing out the water in his throat, he was met with even greater despair.
The Alpha was awake.
In an instant, the Alpha’s pheromones filled the entire cage.
The Omega closed his eyes in despair.
What made him even more desperate was that his battered body would actually… react to the Alpha’s pheromones.
The Alpha, called Romeo, finally sat up. Romeo looked at him, his eyes filled with confusion.
The Omega had given up struggling, sitting on the side like an abandoned doll.

Romeo glanced at Qiuyue outside the cage and understood their intentions.
Throwing a defenseless Omega in heat in front of him, what kind of live show were they trying to stage?
Romeo was not the kind of idiot who would lose his mind and go for it when his lust was aroused. He just felt that Qiuyue’s or Peter’s tastes were truly vulgar. Even someone like Romeo, who had no moral compass, found it inhumane.
Romeo sat by the side of the cage. He did not pounce on the Omega as Qiuyue had expected. He just looked at Qiuyue. After a long while, he spat out a mouthful of bloody phlegm and said:
“You’re an Omega too. Why are you doing this?”
Romeo had no disgusting habit of taking advantage of others. He had no intention of doing anything to this Omega. Even if his body did react due to the influence of the pheromones and biological instinct, he felt he could control it.
Besides, Romeo looked around. This place was too dilapidated!
What kind of beast could get aroused and commit rape in an environment where even rats would scream and run away, and cockroaches would faint from fear?
Oh, Peter, Romeo complained in his mind. Peter is that kind of beast.
Hearing Romeo’s words, Qiuyue sneered. He just felt that this Alpha was sanctimonious. He was clearly having a biological reaction, yet he was still putting on a show.
“An Alpha like you is probably not qualified to criticize me, right?” Qiuyue sneered.
Qiuyue’s expression seemed to have already determined that Romeo would sooner or later submit to his Alpha instincts.
Romeo found Qiuyue even more ridiculous. Why? Why must he act as they expected?
Romeo decided to prove his point with his actions.
Romeo turned his gaze to the Omega on the other side of the cage. Vaguely sensing the Alpha’s gaze, the Omega trembled even more.
Romeo came to the Omega. Just as the Omega thought Romeo was about to do what all Alphas would do, Romeo raised his hand and chopped the Omega’s cervical spine.
The Omega’s eyes went black, and he fell to the ground, unconscious: X_X
Qiuyue: ?
“I’m sorry. I’m not a good person, but I’m not that perverted,” Romeo said, his gaze shifting from the unconscious Omega to Qiuyue’s face. Romeo said through gritted teeth:
“Please tell Peter not to project his disgusting fetishes onto me.”
