Around noon, the number of people in the recreational area of IOA Headquarters gradually increased, with more and more alphas in the swimming pool. Almost every alpha that entered would smell the swimming pool’s air first. There was a nice omega scent drifting in the air inside. The alphas were driven by instinct; following the Himalayan musk rose pheromone, they cast their sights on Rimbaud one after another.

The omega sitting on the edge of the pool, talking and laughing, was only wearing swim trunks. His wet blonde hair was tied up, a towel was draped over him, and sitting leisurely while hugging one leg. The lines of his muscles and his body proportion was as perfect as the work of a sculptor.

If it weren’t for the fact that Bai Chunian was sitting next to that omega, the alphas who would have come up to him to ask for his contact info would have already filled his contact book by now.

Bai Chunian had gradually become more aware that Rimbaud was a bit of an eye-catcher. Looking around, he saw Dr. Zhao from the Forensic Medicine Department of the Medical Association, Section Chief Xu from the Armament Division, Old Dai from the Legal Affairs Department, and Xiao Qi, the armament manager, at a glance. These departments were far from the east recreational area, and they usually went to the west recreational area to train. There weren’t a lot of alpha employees in IOA Headquarters in the first place, and you don’t generally see many of them. Damn, all the alphas in the entire headquarters couldn’t wait to gather in the east recreational area’s swimming pool.

They each went over to say hi to Bai Chunian. Bai Chunian had been working here for four years but had never been so popular with other alphas. It might seem like they were greeting Bai Chunian, but they were actually sneaking peeks at the beautiful omega from the front.

“Go, go, let’s go. It’s not good to stay here for long.” Bai Chunian took advantage of the time when there was no one around to grab Rimbaud’s wrist and run off.

Bai Chunian went into the alpha’s changing room. Rimbaud followed after him without even looking at the sign.

There were a few alphas changing into their swim trunks inside. As soon as they looked up, they were faced with Rimbaud’s unabashed expression.

Rimbaud scanned each of their bodies like he was scanning merchandise on a counter. That was until Bai Chunian turned back and covered Rimbaud’s eyes with his hands, picked him up and ran quickly to a separate compartment, and locked the door.

“Shit, why did you follow me in? It’s all alphas in here.” Bai Chunian was speechless. He held Rimbaud’s face and squeezed it into various shapes. “You even looked at every one of them. Are they good-looking?”

“Not as good as you.” Rimbaud held his wrists and stared at his body with a burning gaze. He traced along the sharp and distinct v-line on the alpha’s abdomen with his fingertips. “This body was created by me, so of course you’re better-looking compared to humans.”

Bai Chunian reached out his hand and covered the gland on Rimbaud’s nape. He used his own scent to cover the musk rose pheromones.

Seeing his slightly nervous look, Rimbaud deliberately took two steps forward. Bai Chunian’s eyes signaled him to back away, but Rimbaud didn’t listen to him and pushed Bai Chunian against the wall with a bang.

Bai Chunian scolded in a low voice, “I just calmed down my desire, you better not find trouble with me and ditch me after fooling around with me. My colleagues are all outside—if you dare rile me up here, I will paralyze your lower body and you will not be able to climb back into the fish tank, believe it or not.”

“I’m not a very proper king.” Rimbaud said lightly, “I have told you long ago that I’m an incapable ruler and very lustful. It turns out that you only like the appearance of a pure siren. I understand—teens care about the beautiful image of their first love, and I really shouldn’t have broken it.”

Bai Chunian saw that Rimbaud’s expression became depressed. And when he said those words, he had a more serious expression than before, like a heartbroken elder who worked hard to raise his child but was rejected by the child for being old.

“Aiyo.” Bai Chunian took him into his arms, lowered his head and coaxed into his ear, “My good king, from now on, I will conduct myself according toDaji'sstandards. I’ll live stream myself showering for you to watch. And you can watch me eat if you want.”

Rimbaud finally raised his eyes and answered softly, “Okay.”

Outside the changing room, there were a few alphas who had just entered. One asked suspiciously, “What’s going on? I smell the scent of an omega in the room.”

Bai Chunian rummaged through the cupboard and took out a tube of pheromone blocker from the corner. He unscrewed the cap and wiped some of it on the glands on Rimbaud’s nape, while whispering in dissatisfaction, “Cover your scent, you can’t go on like this. You were too ethereal when you were a merman, so those alphas didn’t dare to even like you. But it’s different now; you’re too beautiful. It’s better to not let others find out you’re an omega.”

Rimbaud dotingly bowed his head and let him smear it. He would never refuse his little alpha’s request.

“Wear this first. I got this from my office’s closet. We’re not much different in size so it should fit. I usually don’t wear formal clothes. I bought this two years ago and have only worn it twice, so it’s still new.”

Bao Chunian gave him a white suit. It wasn’t a particularly strict business style, but a casual style.

Rimbaud took it. There was still a faint brandy pheromone scent lingering on it.

Bai Chunian’s own clothes were relatively casual. Before he arrived, he randomly took an orange long-sleeved T-shirt and a denim hooded jacket from the office closet. He wiped off the water on his body, and put it over his head.

When Bai Chunian finished wearing his clothes, he looked up to see that Rimbaud was still burying his face in the suit and smelling it.

“Tsk, don’t dawdle, hurry and wear it.” Bai Chunian draped a towel over Rimbaud’s head. He took out a pair of clean underwear from the closet and threw it on Rimbaud’s lap.

Rimbaud hooked the corner of the black boxers with his fingertip, and asked with his other hand on his chin, “Randi, how do I wear this?”

Bai Chunian looked at him with his hands in his pockets. “Do you really not know or are you pretending you don’t know?”

“I really don’t know.”

“Come, give it to me.” Bai Chunian squatted down and held up the waistband of the boxers. “You see these two holes? One leg goes in each hole.”

A snow-white foot entered the hole and stepped on Bai Chunian’s knee. The boxers hung on his smooth and jade-like calf, like a spider’s web hanging on ivory.

The long pants came after the underwear, then the socks and shoes. Bai Chunian’s mouth went dry from helping him.

Rimbaud retracted his foot, the tip of his shoes brushed against Bai Chunian’s wrist. Bai Chunian suddenly realized that such clothes were only suitable for taking off, not putting on.

Walking out of the changing room, the omega pheromones coming from Rimbaud’s body have been completely sealed by the blocker. Without pheromones, it was difficult for strangers to tell his gender by his appearance.

When he left the recreational area, it just so happened to be lunch break. The number of people in the corridor slowly increased.

Bai Chunian walked in front with a popsicle in his mouth that he bought when he came out of the gym. Rimbaud stepped out of the elevator with his hands in his pants pockets. His straight and slender legs were wrapped in black trousers, and he wore a casual white suit jacket over a white shirt. He raised his hand and lightly loosened his tie.

Immediately, the gaze of the thousands of omegas in the corridor were on Rimbaud, their fiery eyes simply swished like laser pointers.

Everyone working in various departments of the IOA headquarters had heard of Bai Chunian, the head of the Search Division. Although he had captured the hearts of countless omegas in the past three years, everyone now knows that Section Chief Bai was married, and his partner was a merman omega with outstanding looks and strength. The little omegas’ fantasies about Bai Chunian have long been silenced.

However, where did this blond haired, blue eyes, tall, and long-legged handsome guy come from? There wasn’t a single scent of pheromones on him. Among the many scumbags who used pheromones to attract omegas, he was more refined. Does such an abstinent alpha really exist?

“Umm, is this…a new colleague? Which department are you from?” A courageous omega directly came up to strike a conversation. “Since we’re going to be colleagues from now on, do you mind exchanging contact info?”

Rimbaud stopped in his steps, put his hands in his pocket, and looked down at the little omega striking a conversation with him. It happened to be a petite squirrel omega. There was a pair of fluffy ears between his maroon-colored curly hair. The erect fur on his ears were trembling, so he reached out and touched it.

The little omega squirrel’s face flushed at once, and their big fluffy tail curled up into a ball.

Bai Chunian stood on the sideline with a popsicle stick in his mouth, watching Rimbaud surrounded by a group of little omegas. Seeing Rimbaud’s expression, it was obvious that they thought he was an alpha, but he just didn’t say anything.

In order to not let his dear colleagues be molested by this fish, Bai Chunian walked toward the crowd with a sense of justice to disperse the group of people, put his hands on Rimbaud’s shoulders, raised the corners of his lips and said, “I’ll be frank with you guys—this brother of mine is asea king, be careful.”

Hearing this, a few omegas were a bit daunted. Although everyone liked handsome guys, character also needed to be considered.

Rimbaud turned to look at him. Bai Chunian lightly chuckled in his ear. “What’s wrong, king of the sea, or sea king for short? Am I wrong?”

“No, what you said is true.” Rimbaud gave him a look, then slightly leaned into the squirrel omega’s ear, and spoke in a voice that only the two of them could hear, “Kid, I like alphas. You’re too skinny, you won’t be strong enough when fucking.”

The squirrel omega was petrified on the spot.

His eyes widened, slowly shifting from Rimbaud’s face to Bai Chunian’s face. His eyes moved down, and he saw a blue fish-shaped mark on Bai Chunian’s neck. The squirrel omega showed an expression of his worldview being turned upside down.

Bai Chunian, “What? Why are you looking at me like that?”

Rimbaud put an arm around Bai Chunian’s neck, then said lightly, “Let’s go, baby.”

“Oh.” Bai Chunian followed him curiously.

Leaving a group of petrified omegas standing in place.

Back at the office, an email from Han Xingqian was received on the computer.

“Xun Xun received an anonymous report. The content states that the 109 Research Institute will destroy a batch of experimental subjects on the 18th of this month at Warwick Pharmaceutical Factory in Red Fox City.

Two files were attached to the email. The first one was a high-quality scanned copy of said report. The original text was printed, there was no handwriting on it. The second attachment was a blurry photo taken weirdly. Many experimental subjects were being packed into a narrow but sturdy transporter and were being loaded by workers to be transported away.

“Xiao Xun received this?” Bai Chunian pondered for a moment, then forwarded the email to the Secret Service leader and the President, and added, “There’s a possibility of it being a trap. I recommend not taking action.”

Rimbaud moved beside Bai Chunian, staring at the blurry photo to identify it carefully. He silently clenched his fingertips, making his palms flushed, but his face remained calm.

“I saw it already, Pearl isn’t within them.” Bai Chunian gently opened Rimbaud’s hand from under the table and held it.

Rimbaud leaned on the table and propped his head on it, his fingers lightly tapped on Bai Chunian’s palm. “You don’t need to worry about me.”

“Now that the funding for the Research Institute’s have been cut off, some of the experimental subjects will be destroyed to control costs, which is to be expected.” Bai Chunian thought about it, then sent an order to the Tech Department—

“Puppet Master may still be within the country. Find a way to get him to see this email.”

After giving out the order, Bai Chunian leaned back in his chair and crossed his legs.

“Didn’t they come to the Medical Association to take experimental subjects under the pretext of rescuing them? Now, there are experimental subjects that need rescuing. Let me see if they’ll really go for it.”
