Captured By The Cold Detective (BL)-Chapter 77: How Dare You!

Young Master Huo’s loud bellow instantly attracted everyone’s attention.

The atmosphere in the lobby turned stagnant in an instant as a strained silence reigned over the air. Even the soothing classical music had vanished from God-knows when. Numerous gazes were concentrated on those three people, especially He Juan and Mu Yuze. Schadenfreude, interest, pity and sympathy. Some were worried, yet the majority only watched for the fun.

Young Master Huo had a long track record and they had known better than to go against him. Rather than a human, he became more like a rabid dog if he got angry, mindlessly biting anyone who dared to come close to him. It was simply impossible to reason with this kind of person. And worst, he had the protection of the reputable Huo Family behind him!

Sigh, it looked like this pair of newcomers would be Young Master Huo’s victims for the night...

Young Master Huo felt very irritated by the look the bartender gave him. However, he could not afford to create a mess in this place anymore lest he would be banned for the second time. It had not been easy for him to get away from his old man’s punishment. He had just played around with a Beta and caused her to be admitted to the hospital for a few days. What’s the big deal about it? Young Master Huo could not figure out why everyone made such a huge fuss out of this small matter. It’s not like he did not pay for the hospital’s bill and compensated her for the injuries!

Nonetheless, it would be too humiliating if he were to be banned for the second time, so he could only seek another way to have fun. And that was to buy another person’s property, break it into pieces before returning it to the owner. Anyway, no one could fault him because he had even gotten permission from the owner himself and even paid him a sum of money! Who would be more generous than him?! 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

"So?" He turned to He Juan and lifted his chin haughtily. "Are you selling or not?"

The corner of He Juan’s lips were still curved into a slow and serene smile, but anybody who knew him better would be able to discern that the smile hardly reached his eyes. He Juan almost could not believe what he heard earlier. The culture-shock was too huge for him. Was he really too old already to follow the trend of youngsters these days?

"You want me to... sell my partner to you? In cash?" He could not help but ask again to confirm.

Young Master Huo assumed that the Alpha wanted to provoke him. As such, he put on a more fierce look and sneered. "That’s right. How much do you want for a night? 10 million? 20 million? I assure you that you won’t lose out. The cash will be given to you as soon as you step out of this place."

He Juan blinked, his smile still impeccable as always. However, his head was already roaring with chaotic noises.

...Exactly who gave this person the right to convert Mu Yuze’s dignity into money? Mu Yuze, whom he cherished with every fiber in his body, whom he wished he could put in his pocket to shield from wind and rain? And moreover, only millions at that?

Ah, that’s right. He Juan had been surrounded by kind people like Jia Molei and Su Xieren for so long that he forgot this was how an Alpha was supposed to be. Arrogant, domineering and tyrannical. They thought that the whole world should bow down to them as they were seated at the top of the food chain. For them, Betas and Omegas were nothing more than playthings whom they could discard at will.

This twisted nature was further enhanced when they were born into a privileged family. It gave them the notion that they would be able to do anything they wanted and still walked away scot-free.

It was apparent that this was not the first time Young Master Huo had attempted this kind of thing, otherwise he would not have so much confidence. What were the fates of the people whom he treated like objects, he wondered? At most, they could only swallow their pain and grievance in silence, then forced themselves to pretend as if it never happened...

The longer He Juan stayed silent, the more enraged Young Master Huo was. "I am talking to you, damn it! Why the fuck are you staring at me with that damn foolish smile on your face? Are you a fucking idiot?!"

Mu Yuze did not even register what this stupid Alpha was saying, despite him being the center of the discussion. Pursing his lips tight, he snuck a few concerned glances at He Juan. And when he saw the curve of He Juan’s smile become even more prominent, he could not hold back anymore. Reaching out, he tugged on He Juan’s sleeve and tried to pull him out of whatever state of mind he was in. "Gege..."

Contrary to Mu Yuze’s visible restlessness, He Juan was calm. He had never been so calm and clear-headed before. For the past seven years, He Juan and his Alpha had always been at war with each other. But right now, they were finally on the same side for the very first time. It gave He Juan an unprecedented sense of peace, as if he had discovered a piece of himself that had been missing ever since the accident.

Entirely at ease, he leaned back on the couch, his long leg crossing one atop of the other. There was a sharp glint in his silver eyes when he looked at the Alpha in front of him. On his attractive face, a radiant smile bloomed like a sea of crimson poppies. "You want to buy him? Sure."

Young Master Huo’s eyes lit up and the scowl on his face eased considerably. It was always easier to talk with smart and reasonable people! He could not help but rake his greedy gaze all over the omega again, feeling as if this cold beauty had become his. Impatience swelled in his chest. He could not wait to pull the omega into the hotel room and toy with him to his heart’s content. "Hurry up and say it! How much do you want? Is twenty millions enough?"

He Juan laughed lightly. "It’s too cheap. My baby is so beautiful, how can you buy him with only that little money?" Under everyone’s curious gazes, He Juan leaned his upper body forward and smiled at Young Master Huo. "...How about paying with your life instead?"

Silence.

It was a silence so thick that not even a hint of breathing could be heard. Everyone’s eyes were wide in disbelief as they stared at He Juan. W–What did he just say?! Oh God, he had just provoked Young Master Huo head-on! Did he have a death wish or something?!

Young Master Huo had a stupefied look on his face. This was the first time someone had acted so brazen in front of him, he could not come to his senses for a while. And as soon as the weight of He Juan’s words sank in his mind, his not-so-good temper instantly exploded like a violent volcano. He shot up standing with a twisted expression, eyes blazing in manic anger. "How dare you!!"

In the next instant, a burst of malevolent Alpha pheromones erupted from his body and rushed straight toward He Juan, filled with the sharp intention to control.
