Warning

Mo Lu left the Mo Family estate without saying another word to Old Master Mo.

Before getting into the car, he turned to Weisheng Tou. "Take the next half day off. You don't need to come with me."

"Yes."

Weisheng Tou stopped outside the car.

"The driver's contact information is already on your phone. Return to Lan Mountain Residence tonight."

Let me have some peace.

He was already beginning to regret branding his curse mark on Weisheng Tou's chest and keeping him by his side.

He had underestimated the effect an Alpha with such high compatibility would have on him.

How could he have made such a basic mistake?

Weisheng Tou gazed intently at Mo Lu. "...Yes."

Mo Lu gave an indifferent hum, and the dark gray window gradually rose, hiding his cold face.

The car drove away from the Mo Family estate.

After watching Mo Lu leave, Weisheng Tou tugged at his tie and exhaled.

He leaned against a nearby pillar and watched the entrance to the Mo Family estate.

The guards were puzzled by his lingering at the entrance, but they could hardly say anything.

Before long, Xie Ying came out with Xie Chaoshen and Xie Chaoheng.

Xie Chaoshen still looked weak, a lingering flush on his face.

Xie Chaoheng, meanwhile, spotted Weisheng Tou immediately.

Weisheng Tou was waiting for him.

The moment Xie Chaoheng realized this, he stopped in his tracks.

"Chaoheng?" Old Master Xie looked at Xie Chaoheng beside him, puzzled.

"Grandpa, get in the car first. I... have something to take care of."

Xie Chaoheng drew a deep breath, his voice trembling slightly.

Xie Ying followed Xie Chaoheng's gaze and saw a tall, handsome man lounging against one of the Mo Family's dragon-carved pillars.

Seeing that it was one of Mo Lu's men, Xie Ying said nothing further and took Xie Chaoshen into the car.

Xie Chaoheng approached Weisheng Tou.

"You..."

Xie Chaoheng stopped a full five meters away from Weisheng Tou, hesitating to speak.

"Heh..."

Weisheng Tou chuckled softly and straightened a little.

"Don't come any closer!"

Xie Chaoheng immediately stepped back.

"Xie Chaoheng... right?"

Weisheng Tou tilted his head, his smile handsome and wicked.

"I'm warning you, the Xie Family and the Mo Family have always been on good terms. You can't lay a hand on me!"

Xie Chaoheng unleashed the full pressure of his A-rank Alpha presence, trying to bolster his courage.

"What do you take me for?"

Weisheng Tou lightly nudged a pebble with his foot, then slowly strode over to Xie Chaoheng.

"W-Wei-Weisheng Tou!" Xie Chaoheng began to stammer.

"I'm curious. What came to mind that made you so afraid of me?"

Weisheng Tou leaned forward slightly, his languid gaze settling on Xie Chaoheng's throat.

One hand remained in his trouser pocket, while he slowly raised the other to straighten Xie Chaoheng's suit collar.

"Y-you... I..." Xie Chaoheng's heart nearly leaped out of his chest.

They were both Alphas, yet the overwhelming pressure radiating from the man before him left him barely able to breathe, let alone move.

"Aren't you going to tell me?"

A smile still played on Weisheng Tou's lips, but his voice grew colder, the patience in his eyes almost gone.

He was already irritated enough that he hadn't seen the place where Mo Lu had grown up.

Sensing danger, Xie Chaoheng immediately blurted out, "Y-you were the one who tortured Colonel Hu to death that night, weren't you? I saw everything!"

Tortured... a colonel to death?

Weisheng Tou tilted his head in confusion.

He had killed... a lot of people.

I can't remember.

Weisheng Tou glanced at the Mo Family servants watching them from the entrance, a careless smile on his lips. "Young Master Xie, you must have mistaken me for someone else."

"Impossible! I..."

Xie Chaoheng immediately protested, only for Weisheng Tou to interrupt him a moment later:

"Xie Chaoheng, perhaps you didn't hear what I said."

Weisheng Tou paused before continuing, "I said, you have the wrong person."

His voice was gentle, but his dark eyes were like a swamp hidden deep in the forest. His gaze wrapped tightly around Xie Chaoheng, leaving him unable to breathe.

The pad of his finger brushed lightly over Xie Chaoheng's Adam's apple, a lazy smile never leaving his lips.

"Y-yes... I mistook you for someone else..." Xie Chaoheng swallowed with difficulty, his lips trembling.

"Mm, that's a good boy. Now, what should you do if someone asks?"

Weisheng Tou watched Xie Chaoheng as though he were genuinely seeking his opinion.

"I... I've never seen you before." Sweat trickled down Xie Chaoheng's temple.

"Mm. Very good."

Weisheng Tou smiled until his eyes curved.

He withdrew his hand from Xie Chaoheng's neck and casually wiped his fingers.

Then, as though something had occurred to him, he suddenly added with another cheerful smile:

"Oh, I almost forgot. Xie Chaoshen-I really don't like the way he looks at me. Remember to tell him to change that. Otherwise, the next time I see him, I won't be as gentle as I was today."

Without waiting for Xie Chaoheng to answer, Weisheng Tou turned and sauntered away.

Cold sweat broke out all over Xie Chaoheng.

He was certain that if he dared disobey Weisheng Tou, the man would kill him without hesitation.

Even here, right outside the Mo Family estate.

Xie Chaoheng had seen Weisheng Tou kill before, back when he had been sent to serve at the Imperial Military Base.

It had been his first field training exercise.

Weisheng Tou had been covered from head to toe in special forces combat gear, making his appearance impossible to discern. His icy demeanor, along with the special treatment he seemed to receive from the military, had set him apart from the entire unit.

Xie Chaoheng had assumed Weisheng Tou was just some oddball who had gotten in through connections, but that night, he learned how wrong he was.

He had witnessed Weisheng Tou torture their commanding officer, Colonel Hu, to death.

Colonel Hu had said something, and Weisheng Tou had suddenly flown into a rage.

Colonel Hu stood 1.9 meters tall and was built like a bear.

Yet Weisheng Tou had pinned that huge, powerful man to the ground and beaten him.

He had looked just like a punching bag.

Xie Chaoheng had thought it was an ordinary fight, that Weisheng Tou would let Colonel Hu go once he was done beating him.

Instead, he had watched Weisheng Tou stuff all the lime powder from their individual self-heating rations into Colonel Hu's mouth, then force water down his throat.

Xie Chaoheng had watched helplessly as Colonel Hu writhed on the ground like a worm being fried in oil, his face red and contorted.

White steam billowed, accompanied by faint, terrifying popping sounds, while Colonel Hu's thoroughly scorched throat could produce only agonized wails that seemed to rise from hell itself.

Meanwhile, Weisheng Tou, the culprit, had casually crouched nearby, rubbing his wrist, looking utterly relaxed and pleased.

He had watched Colonel Hu as though looking at an ant.

At the end, he had even poked Colonel Hu with a twig, as though checking whether he was dead yet.

Xie Chaoheng had covered his mouth, not daring to make a sound.

Even now, he could clearly recall the chilling aura that had surrounded Weisheng Tou-

Lazy and casual, yet filled with fury and viciousness.

For him to kill a colonel outright in the military and still be alive and well today, the Empire had to be protecting him.

A Super S-Rank Alpha, a man protected by the Empire, a man whose emotions were extremely unstable.

Xie Chaoheng stared fixedly at Weisheng Tou's retreating back. The terror Weisheng Tou had instilled in him still lingered, and his hands and feet remained cold and weak.

He didn't know why this devil was at the Mo Family estate, or why he was following Mo Lu.

But none of it had anything to do with him. He would never set foot in the Mo Family estate again!
