Captured By The Cold Detective (BL)-Chapter 80: Alpha...

As soon as he sensed the vengeful pheromones emanating from Young Master Huo, He Juan’s pupils shrunk sharply.

Never had he foreseen that Young Master Huo’s temper would be so bad that he would resort to an offensive attack at once! Furthermore, if Mu Yuze was exposed to this kind of violent pheromones, then he would be paralyzed for at least a few hours! No, He Juan could not let it happen!

With a movement so fast that it shocked even himself, he pulled Mu Yuze behind him and faced the rush of offensive pheromones head-on.

Left with no other choice, He Juan could only release his own pheromones as a means to defend. He had not encountered such a situation before nor had he ever used his pheromones to incapacitate others. His mild and gentle temperament did not allow him to launch such a barbarous attack. However this time, the other party had provoked him first and worst, his real target was Mu Yuze! He Juan was not such a saint that he would stand still and see his omega be attacked.

The sharp bite of cedar and bergamot in the air was immediately suppressed by the oppressive scent of rosewood and whiskey. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

Young Master Huo’s pheromones were just like himself, wild and unrestrained, like a little rabid dog that would make people want to avoid him as much as possible.

However, He Juan’s pheromones were contrastingly different. It was rich and mature, yet tinged with a hint of bloodlust akin to an experienced predator. It tightened around everyone’s neck bit by bit and caused them to suffocate.

The weak Omegas fainted straight away, unable to persevere against the brutal power hidden underneath the scent, whereas the Alphas were directly brought to their knees. Even the Betas were pale-faced as they ran to the corner to vomit. They might not be able to smell the pheromones in the air, but the thick pressure rolling off He Juan’s body was enough to make them extremely nauseous.

This was a real Alpha who was used to standing at the very top of the food chains!

Thud!

Young Master Huo fell down to his knees, his complexion ashen. He was staring at He Juan with a mixture of disbelief, consternation and fear. W–What was up with this person? He had never sensed such powerful pheromones from any other Alphas before. Staring at He Juan whose smile already vanished from his face, a distinct sense of fear emerged from the depth of Young Master Huo’s heart.

It was the instinctive reaction of his Alpha upon encountering a strong opponent, strong enough for Young Master Huo to discern that he would not stand a chance at all. The urge to submit and bow his neck was pressing down on him like a boulder. However, his pride did not allow him to do so. He could only grit his teeth and bear with the agonizing pressure.

"Are you crazy?!" He hollered, albeit his momentum was not as strong as earlier. "Do you want to kill everyone here?!"

Kill everyone...?

He Juan stared at the person in front of him blankly as if he could not understand what he was saying. The breath he exhaled was scorching and there was a throbbing pain on his neck due to the excessive release of pheromones. However, He Juan was not in the state of mind to bother with the discomfort.

He did not even notice the door slamming open with rows of fierce-looking guards storming in, only to be stunned by the sight in front of them.

Instead, he was totally preoccupied with the chaotic scene in front of him. Somehow, when he saw these people kneeling, fainting, vomiting, groaning and moaning in pain, a strong sense of déjà vu crashed into him. It was as if... he had experienced something like this before. But when...? He Juan was certain he had never released his pheromones on other people.

All of a sudden, a sharp pain struck the base of his skull and he could not help but clutch his head. A muffled groan escaped his lips. There were images... so many images fleeting past his mind in a split second. They were all filled with blood, despairing cries and gloomy overcast sky, before ending with the familiar screech of rubber tires against asphalt that had plagued his nightmare for years.

"You’re mine," a vague and distant voice echoed inside his ears. "Even if you die, you will still be mine."

The pain intensified, tearing into his brain nerves like vicious claws. He Juan could even feel his veins pumping in agitation. Who? Who was it...? Who was speaking to him?!

The agony was getting more and more unbearable, and He Juan’s vision turned black for a split second. Just as he was going to succumb to the dark and let his tense body rest, a strand of familiar scent wafted into his nose and pervaded his senses.

Cold, sweet, gentle yet forceful at the same time. It was peppermint and lavender.

A slender pair of arms wrapped around his body, and a voice whispered into his ears, piercing through countless shards of chaotic images in He Juan’s mind like a ray of light that shattered the gloomy darkness. "Alpha..." a head nuzzled into the crook of his neck and licked his throbbing gland. "Alpha..." the magnetic voice murmured again.

He Juan cracked his eyes open with difficulty. His mind was utterly disoriented. For a moment, he could not recognize the person in front of him.

Who was it...?

He Juan sensed a very powerful familiarity when he looked at this person. His memory was a jumbled mess right now but... he could still register how beautiful and dazzling those dark eyes were. It was as if He Juan had managed to clamber from the depth of hell only to see the most breathtaking sight the mortal world had to offer.

A pair of black-blue eyes held his gaze, and there was a strange power within that bewitched He Juan’s mind, drawing all of his attention. His body moved without him realizing as it gravitated toward the other, gently taking the entire person into his arms.

He Juan’s trembling lips parted yet no words came out.

"Alpha..." the same tilting voice called out to him again and this time, he could see the lips of the person in his arms moved in time with the voice. "Gege... Juan-gege... He Juan, can you hear me? It’s me, Mu Yuze."

Mu Yuze...

That name was akin to a slap which brought He Juan back to reality. He let out a shaky gasp and belatedly realized that his whole body was soaked in cold sweat. He tightened his arms around Mu Yuze, and if it hurt then the omega did not even bat an eyelid. His eyes were bloodshot, tinged with a hint of madness and confusion. "Xiao Ze... Xiao Ze, just now, I—"

"Sssh, it’s okay," Mu Yuze hushed him softly as he ran the tip of his nose along He Juan’s temple. He then slowly pushed He Juan’s head to the crook of his neck. "Here, take as much as you want and calm yourself down..."

He Juan did not need Mu Yuze to tell him twice. He latched his lips to the omega’s warm skin, licking and sucking the soothing pheromones that he exuded with ravenous greed. In a daze, he thought, ’Is he scenting me now?’ However, all thoughts were lost in lieu of inhaling Mu Yuze’s unique and intoxicating scent. He Juan needed him as much as a dying traveler needed water, a wilted grass needed sunlight, a suffocating man needed air...

Mu Yuze’s pheromones worked like a charm. The chaotic images in He Juan’s mind vanished without a trace, even the sharp throbbing pain on his skull was reduced to a dull ache. Tension finally loosened from his body as he felt clarity returning to him bit by bit. Gradually, the event for the last few minutes returned to him and He Juan’s eyes flew open in shock.

Oh God, he... what had he done?!

He whipped his head up from the comfort of Mu Yuze’s embrace and was stunned by the sight around him.

A lot of staff were walking back and forth carrying stretchers. Laying on it were guests who had fainted or on the verge of losing consciousness. The ventilator worked with a loud buzz to filter the air, yet he could still smell traces of pheromones belonging to him. Intense and murderous.

He Juan could not help but fall into a daze. This... was all his doing? He had never known that he was capable of something like this...

"Have you calmed down yet?" Mu Yuze’s steady and composed voice came above him. Somehow, the calmness in his tone affected He Juan and soothed his restless energy as well. Unfortunately, before He Juan could answer, he saw a group of people approaching him from his peripheral vision.

They were a few fierce-looking guards, a middle aged man in a suit holding an elegant cane, as well as two familiar faces; Manager Wu and Young Master Huo. As soon as He Juan saw Young Master Huo, he instinctively tensed. He thought that this person had finally come to take revenge and brought his backing with him.

Well, it was entirely He Juan’s fault for picking a fight in the first place. If He Juan had not provoked him, then the subsequent disaster would not have happened as well. Young Master Huo might be at fault but He Juan had acted very immature this time. He ought to explain that he did not do it on purpose and apologize for the mess he had caused...

He Juan straightened up from Mu Yuze’s embrace and assumed a strong front. One could not believe that he almost collapsed earlier judging from the calm smile on his face. "This—"

All of a sudden, the fierce guard behind suddenly placed a hand on Young Master Huo’s shoulder and pressed him down.

Thud!

Young Master Huo fell to his knees in front of He Juan for the second time tonight.

"Apologize," the middle aged man said coldly as he struck his cane on the floor. The resounding thud caused Young Master Huo to shiver in fear and his entire person wilted like a spoiled vegetable. Where was the haughtiness he had shown earlier? The man continued to say, "If you know what’s good for you, then you’d better offer a finger or two."

He Juan: ...?
