IMAO Chapter 29.1

Why?

…

Qiu Jingming’s muddled mind was in a haze, his legs weak. Catching the scent of Alpha pheromones in the air, he turned his flushed face towards the direction Jiang Yuan had disappeared.

Click.

The door closed, and the Omega pheromones in the air grew increasingly potent. Affected by the pheromones, Song Yirui caressed the boy’s fair skin, oblivious to the strangeness of the person in his arms.

Under the influence of pheromones, their breaths intertwined closely.

After shutting the door upon leaving the room, Jiang Yuan finally breathed a sigh of relief. These two getting together was indeed beyond his expectation. While it would be disastrous for the original owner of this body, for him—with a new consciousness—it was a tremendous stroke of luck.

Jiang Yuan sighed softly. Pheromones could completely turn people into uncontrollable beasts! Just now, he had rushed to send Qiu Jingming away from those Alphas, and now Ma Lin and Armand were still downstairs helping clean up the mess…

Jiang Yuan rubbed his temples in agony as he made his way upstairs. He and Ji Rong had beaten up no fewer than twenty Alphas along the way. Though they had shown some restraint, it was still an incident caused by Qiu Jingming. He would have to go downstairs to apologize to the Alphas they had beaten.

Jiang Yuan gently closed the final door of the room and stepped out.

Ji Rong, who was leaning against the doorway, turned his head to look at Jiang Yuan.

Jiang Yuan’s appearance was inherited from his AO parents’ excellent genes. He was handsome, tall, and straight-backed, with strikingly good looks. Seeing Jiang Yuan’s furrowed brow and troubled expression, Ji Rong found him incredibly attractive.

Ji Rong couldn’t understand how Song Yirui could be controlled by pheromones and ended up having relations with Qiu Jingming.

It’s just pheromones, isn’t it?

If you just endure it, it’ll pass.

Hadn’t he himself been completely unaffected by the Omega pheromones just now?

Ji Rong grumbled inwardly, completely forgetting who had been unable to control their pheromones around Jiang Yuan just a few days ago!

As Jiang Yuan exited the room, he saw Ji Rong with one leg bent against the wall and the other straight, his lips pursed as he watched him. Jiang Yuan met Ji Rong’s gaze and asked, “What are you looking at me for?”

Ji Rong took a couple of quick steps forward, his brow slightly furrowed. “Are you alright?”

Jiang Yuan: “I’m fine.”

Ji Rong silently looked at Jiang Yuan, his expression still clearly showing deep concern.

“Where are Mu An and Ji Yang?” Jiang Yuan asked casually as he wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Ji Rong: “They’ve already gone downstairs. The Alphas we beat up earlier are causing a ruckus down there.”

Jiang Yuan: …

Jiang Yuan lightly tapped his forehead with the back of his hand, shrugging as he said, “What a bother. Let’s go, we should head down first.”

Ji Rong: “…Are you really alright?”

Jiang Yuan: “Really.”

Ji Rong followed Jiang Yuan downstairs, staring slightly dazed at his sharp profile. Half of Jiang Yuan’s face was in the shadowy corner untouched by the elevator light, his expression anxious. At this moment, Jiang Yuan didn’t even have time to feel heartbroken, having pushed his own Alpha boyfriend toward his Omega brother, and now he had to help those two deal with the ensuing mess.

Thinking of this, Ji Rong suddenly felt an urge to embrace Jiang Yuan. Just as his outstretched hand was about to touch Jiang Yuan’s, ding—the elevator doors opened.

Jiang Yuan stepped out, half-turning his body to call out to Ji Rong behind him, “Ji Rong, come out quickly.”

Ji Rong instinctively withdrew his long, knuckled hand and quickly caught up with Jiang Yuan as they walked into the lobby.

Armand and Ma Lin had been downstairs helping them handle this situation. With the assistance of the hotel staff, most of the Alphas had left since their injuries weren’t severe. Jiang Yuan and his group had mainly intervened to prevent the situation from worsening, so they didn’t dwell on it much. As the incident occurred within the hotel, which had already promised to compensate for medical expenses, most had left after persuasion from Armand and Ma Lin.

Now, only three people remained in the lobby, refusing to leave.

Jiang Yuan looked gratefully towards Armand and Ma Lin, immediately thanking them as he approached. Both waved off his thanks, saying it wasn’t necessary.

Mu An’s Omega companions had already disappeared. They should have left first while waiting downstairs. After all, the hotel was full of Alpha pheromones, which made them uneasy.

At this moment, Mu An was talking on his communicator and seemed to be inquiring about something…

Jiang Yuan originally wanted to thank Mu An, but seeing him talking to someone in his communicator, he naturally didn’t disturb him. He turned and immediately walked towards the three people talking with the hotel manager.

The three noticed Jiang Yuan approaching and immediately stopped their conversation with the manager.

As soon as Jiang Yuan came over, he immediately apologized to these three.

Two of the Alphas, upon seeing Jiang Yuan, launched into a tirade of abuse. Besides medical expenses, they demanded Jiang Yuan pay two compensation sums of 5000 star coins each.

Jiang Yuan pondered for a moment, considering the funds in his account, and directly transferred the two compensation amounts to them on the spot, quickly dispatching these two struggling Alphas.

After transferring the money to those two Alphas, Jiang Yuan looked up at the third person still in the lobby and softly asked, “Please use your communicator. I’ll transfer the money to you.”

As he spoke, Jiang Yuan noticed that the man before him was shorter than the average Alpha by nearly half a head. Unlike the tall Alphas, his build was slender, more resembling an Omega.

This scholarly-looking man appeared to be in his early thirties, with a pair of gold-rimmed glasses perched on his nose. He was dressed meticulously, clearly a social elite. The only flaw was a bruise at the corner of his mouth.

Hearing Jiang Yuan’s inquiry, the well-dressed man’s eyebrows formed an inverted V as he said in a low voice, waving his hand, “I’m not here for your money. I’m not an Alpha.”

Jiang Yuan: “Then…”

The man pushed his glasses up his nose and asked, “Is that Omega in heat your brother?”

Jiang Yuan: “Yes.”

The man: “How could your family let an Omega in heat go out? Do you know how dangerous that was just now?”

Jiang Yuan offered no further explanation, only softly apologizing.

Hearing Jiang Yuan’s apology, the man’s lips pressed into a thin line. With an expression of exasperation, he said, “Do you realize how many people’s collective efforts it took for Omegas to leave their homes and enter society?

“There are still many extremist Alphas in society demanding Omegas return to the household. If they learn about today’s incident, they’ll certainly use it as an excuse to attack and push for Omegas to return home, once again becoming mere breeding machines!”

Jiang Yuan: “…”

The man’s expression was very serious, clearly furious about today’s events. His tone naturally intensified. Ji Rong, who was standing nearby, couldn’t bear it and stepped forward to quietly explain the situation. The man recoiled as if scratched by a cat, quickly distancing himself from Ji Rong.

Seeing the man’s reaction and expression, Jiang Yuan instantly confirmed that the man before him was an Omega.

After hearing the explanation, the man’s expression finally softened. He gave a final reminder to Jiang Yuan to ensure the Omega at home properly used suppressants before leaving.

After resolving this issue, Jiang Yuan was cornered by the hotel manager for a talk. Ji Rong had advanced the compensation payment.

Having dealt with these problems, Jiang Yuan finally had a moment to catch his breath. “At last, it’s over. Ji Rong, I’ll pay you back after I ask my parents for money.”

Ji Rong, having transferred the compensation to the hotel, waved his hand at Jiang Yuan, saying, “No rush.”

Jiang Yuan: “Thank you. It’s fortunate you were all here today.”

Nearby, Ma Lin and Armand, seeing the matter finally resolved, wiped sweat from their foreheads and let out long sighs. As Mu An finished his call, Ma Lin looked up, making faces as he said, “Ji Rong, you helped send Jiang Yuan’s brother this afternoon. It seems you weren’t affected by the pheromones at all?!”

Ji Rong: “I’ve undergone training to resist Omega pheromones.”

Hearing Ji Rong’s words, Jiang Yuan turned to look at him, clearly thinking why Ji Rong would undergo such ‘inhuman’ training. It’s known that Omega pheromones are like a deadly aphrodisiac to Alphas. Who knows how much training Ji Rong had undergone to remain completely calm in that situation.

Others might not know, but Jiang Yuan had personally witnessed Qiu Jingming reach out to Ji Rong in the room!

An invitation from an Omega is something most Alphas absolutely couldn’t resist!

At this moment, Ma Lin muttered, “No wonder. I smelled that scent and felt like I was about to explode. Luckily, I left quickly, otherwise I’d have been among the beaten Alphas today.”

As they conversed, Mu An spoke quietly into his communicator nearby. Putting it down, his expression turned peculiar.

“Finished?” Jiang Yuan noticed Mu An had ended the call and quickly walked over. “Thank you so much for today!”

Mu An shook his head, looking at Jiang Yuan. His mouth opened and closed, as if hesitating to speak.
