The cafeteria doors shut.
Outside, everyone was panicking.
"What's going on? I'm completely lost. Who's inside?"
"With pheromones that strong, who else could it be? There's only one madman like that in our district."
"What the hell happened? How could he suddenly go berserk?"
"I told you long ago that specially recruiting an Enigma wouldn't be a good thing for us."
"Once he went berserk, the entire Law District suffered. Who could bear responsibility for that?"
"You never listened when I warned you. You insisted on using it as a gimmick to recruit him. Well, look what happened now. You brought this on yourselves."
"He went berserk today because someone showed up in time to stop him. What if no one had? Would we all have to be buried along with his rampage?"
"The higher-ups have been playing favorites lately, dumping every field assignment on him. Do they think he can resolve everything perfectly while the rest of us can't?"
"Then they might as well not have recruited us. They can just rely on him alone to keep this place running."
"I've disliked him for ages. He acts like the boss of the district all day and never listens to anyone."
"Do you think he even respects you leaders? Does he take anything you say seriously?"
"I'd like to see how you clean up this mess. If you don't suspend him, you won't be able to justify it, will you?"
Those who had long disliked him took the chance to stir up trouble, stepping forward one after another to condemn him.
Voices overlapped in a chaotic chorus.
The leaders arrived late. Hearing those remarks, their faces darkened.
"You have time to stand around gossiping. Have you finished all your assignments? Have you met every quota?"
"Instead of wasting time picking at others, why not focus on improving yourselves? How do you even have the nerve to criticize someone else?"
Once the leaders spoke, the more timid people stopped talking and left the group chat.
They had merely been fanning the flames. If the fire would not spread, there was no need to get burned themselves.
That would only be a loss.
There was no need for such pointless actions.
Inside the cafeteria.
Wan Ying's face grew increasingly pale, while his attacks became increasingly ruthless, as if he were trying to vent something through them.
Bian He retreated into a corner.
Out of sight of the others, he tore off the silver ring around his wrist. Figema pheromones erupted, completely suppressing the mint-scented pheromones.
The absolute suppression gradually calmed the rampaging man.
Bian He reached out and pulled him into his arms, soothing him softly. "Don't be afraid, Wan Ying. Is the poison making you feel awful? I'll help you find the rat, all right?"
"Those people are disgusting. If they won't let you live in peace, they shouldn't expect peace either."
"Don't be afraid. I'll always stay with you."
"If you're tired, be good and get some sleep. When you wake up, every problem will be solved."
"If it hurts, bite me. I'm not afraid of pain. Don't bite yourself."
His reassurances came one after another.
Flower-scented pheromones, fraught with danger, completely enveloped the man.
Wan Ying leaned against his shoulder and murmured unconsciously, "Bian He..."
Bian He's eyelids lifted slightly, and a trace of a smile spilled out.
"You missed me? Be good. Once you fall asleep, it won't hurt anymore."
"My Wan Ying is so good. Those scum only know how to use such despicable methods to make their master suffer."
"I've changed my mind. I'll personally take care of the trash for you. Trash would dirty your hands. I'll do it."
Bian He lowered his head and watched Wan Ying sleep unconscious in his arms.
The doubled dose of catalyst had forcibly driven his pheromones into a rampage. Wan Ying could not withstand it and was bound to be severely injured.
Those scum had taken double precautions. Enigma was an exceedingly rare secondary gender, and the gap between one and an S-rank Alpha could not be measured.
To ensure nothing went wrong, they could only use such a method.
Disgusting creatures, trying to make themselves noticed.
With such a vast gap in strength, they could only resort to underhanded tactics if they wanted to stand out.
Bian He stood by the window, holding the person in his arms tightly, then teleported away.
Many people were still stationed outside the cafeteria.
"What's happening inside? They just left him alone in there wrecking the cafeteria? Where's the guard squad? Why aren't they going in?"
"Wan Ying is just a madman with a genetic mutation. He can't control his pheromones at all. Sooner or later, he'll turn our Law District into a complete mess."
"How could Shen Qiao's death have been such a coincidence? Wan Ying definitely did it."
"Shen Qiao was an S-rank Alpha. Who could make his pheromones explode and kill him? Only someone of an even stronger status could achieve that."
"And they didn't even investigate. What alibi? Alibis can be faked."
"If it wasn't him, could they find a second Enigma?"
Once the leaders left, everyone started talking over one another again, voicing their dissatisfaction.
They were originally S-rank Alphas themselves, already superior enough. With only a little effort, they could stand out among the crowd.
Then an aberration had suddenly appeared, effortlessly crushing the results they had worked so hard to achieve and even trampling them beneath his feet, leaving them unable to resist.
People admired the strong, but no one admired someone so much stronger than themselves that the difference could no longer be described.
There was no hope of ever catching up.
Over time, resentment was inevitable. It was as though everyone belonged to the same kind, so why should there be one who was different?
It was rare to get an opportunity to stomp him down hard.
Just as the guard squad was about to step forward and push open the cafeteria doors, they sensed that there was no longer any pheromone threat inside.
"He has already left. The danger has been eliminated."
To ensure nothing was overlooked, the guard squad went inside to investigate.
The panic they had worked so hard to create ended just like that.
"He disappeared? How could someone vanish into thin air? Check again, carefully."
"If this happens again, who can bear the responsibility?"
"Wan Ying thinks running away means nothing will happen? How are we supposed to deal with the chaos and panic he caused?"
"Damn, he just left whenever he felt like it. Who's supposed to clean up this mess? And he has the nerve to be a director? They should remove him already."
After having his wounds bandaged, He Xiaowu rushed back to the team and inexplicably heard all this foul slander.
"I'm talking to you people from Team Two. Are you fucking sick? You can't handle your own missions, so you come here to slander our team?"
"If you had any ability, you wouldn't be standing here whining. At the end of the day, aren't you just useless? You can't get assignments, so you create panic and make everyone dissatisfied with the director. What exactly are you trying to do?"
"If you're really capable, go find the district chief."
Naturally, a team had to defend its own leader. They could not just let others curse at him while pretending to be deaf.
They could not tolerate that, absolutely not.
"Typical sour grapes. You need others to clean up after you every time you do a mission, yet you still have the nerve to speak here."
He Xiaowu stood in front of them, his gaze fierce. "Let me tell you this—don't let me find out what made our boss lose control emotionally. If anyone used underhanded methods, just wait and see."
"By the way, who was beside the director when he had his episode?"
As the sole eyewitness, Little Eight timidly said, "From what I saw, it seemed to be our boss's partner. That Omega looked like he was bringing something to our boss, but then he suddenly found out the boss had gone berserk and rushed right in..."
"Do you think our boss might have killed him during his rampage?"
"After all, he's only a frail Omega. What if the boss regains his senses and discovers he tortured the Omega to death..."
