As expected the next morning, Ye Yuyan came out of his house to meet Director Yu. Of course, he looks like he was wasted and drunk from the indulgence in alcohol and depression. The world outside knew Prosecutor Ye Yuyan was dismissed almost killing the murderer who killed his wife and child. He had never got involved with the Police force for a few months but someone who investigates him would know that he keeps tabs on the cases ongoing in the city.

They went to an ordinary restaurant with few people. Director Yu and Ye Yuyan meet there as planned.

Ye Yuyan grabbed a bottle of rice wine he ordered ahead of time, making Director Yu Xi frown.

Yu Xi said, “You should care for your health at least, Yuyan.”

“Why should I care for it? No one at home would take care of me afterward. Regardless, I am a lonely person.” said Ye Yuyan as he drank wine, drowning himself in it. “And you should mind your own business. Just tell me what you called me here for.”

Sigh~

“Fine! Stop being grumpy. I will tell you okay. The old and retired men are complaining. So many of the young police officers were being killed in action. One of them is the son of someone who used to be a director. He barged into my office saying that I must do whatever it needs to be done. Just make sure to capture those men who killed his son or he will reinstate himself and do the work himself.” said Director Yu Xi.

Pfft!

“Haha… What can those old men whose half of their bodies are already leaning on their graves get involved for now? Didn’t they shield that murderer who killed my family? Serves them right!” said Ye Yuyan. “Let a few more of their descendants be killed and they would all finally wake up. They should know that the Red Poppy Syndicate is not like the other Syndicate of the old times.”

Director Yu frowned and it was obvious by the look on his face that he was getting pissed off.

“Yuyan, please listen to me properly at least for now. We need your help.”

Ye Yuyan said, “You should have just told me what you wanted in the first place. You want me to return? Sure! But the teammates I want would be my choice.”

“They’ve agreed to that. You can choose any of your teammates,” said Director Yu Xi.

Ye Yuyan asked, “Even if the teammates I chose are criminals, are you guys placed in a life imprisonment area?”

Director Yu Xi’s eyes widen in shock as he heard Ye Yuyan’s words.

BAM!

“Are you crazy, Yuyan!?” Exclaimed Yu Xi as he banged the table in front of him. Every glass and plate tumbles by the sudden added force banging the table.

An evil smirk appeared on Ye Yuyan’s lips with the depths of his eyes even colder than Antarctica, “I choose my team and you reinstate my original position or forget about getting my help. You guys are out of options right?”

“Argh!!! I told you we are not protecting him from you, it is just that his nationality record is not from here. Detaining him is all we can do.” said Director Yu Xi.

Ye Yuyan doesn’t seem to be moved by his friend’s explanation and said, “I don’t care about your excuses. Include that bastard in my team. He might be the worst of all trash, but that head of his is still extremely useful. He is very useful in my hands, don’t worry I can sign a contract of not killing him at least.”

He suddenly stood up preparing to leave, of course! He didn’t forget to make the rice wine bottle with him.

“That’s all you can consider if you want me to return to the unit either way I can just return to my own investigation if you don’t agree. You can reach me in that way if you agree~” said Ye Yuyan as he prepares to leave.

But before he could even step out of the restaurant’s entrance door, Director Yu Xi had no other choice but to agree to Ye Yuyan’s conditions.

Director Yu Xi doesn’t look like he wanted to agree to his friend’s crazy condition but the situation doesn’t allow him to disagree. The old men from the higher-ups ordered Ye Yuyan to return no matter what. After all, before Ye Yuyan was dismissed he was the most aggressive and feared Prosecutor that most criminals avoided. This is why after he was removed from his position what made those criminals fear suddenly disappear and the crime rate increased rapidly during his dismissal.

“Wait, Yuyan! I… I agree. Your condition I will accept it but… You can only add three more to your team and another one or two from the Police headquarters would join as observers and assistants. He would be reporting everything you would do and plan. This should be okay right?” said Director Yu Xi.

Ye Yuyan was expressionless for a moment as he stared at his friend. They stared at each other as if trying to read each other’s thoughts. The first one to avert his eyes is Ye Yuyan, even clicking his tongue on him.

Tsk!

“Whatever you want…” said Ye Yuyan.

A smile finally appeared on Yu Xi’s face and said, “The observer and assistant will be coming to see you tomorrow. You are their superior, don’t bully them.”

“If they are useless they will be sent away,” responded Ye Yuyan as he left the place and went home as planned.

Now he just needs to wait for the two Yu Xi would send to him, including the list of people he can choose from. After leaving, Director Yu Xi lost his smile as he brought out his phone to report to that group of old men about accomplishing his mission.

Ring. Ring. Beep!

Director Yu Xi spoke as his call got connected.

“Ye Yuyan agreed to return. His condition is to choose the members of his new team. He didn’t even bring back Lou Wei who left the unit with him. This time he is serious about getting entangled with the Red Poppy Syndicate.”

{Watch him closely. As long as he is back on the field those hidden snakes would come out one by one and get captured by him.}

Director Yu Xi replied, “I will watch over him well.”

Only then did the call end. Director Yu Xi looks so tired just from talking on the phone with those old men who used their connection to bully him who doesn’t have much background. But he is a man who is not afraid of hardship plus they knew that if they overstepped their boundaries Ye Yuyan would stop holding back. Just the fact that he is the only son of the regaining Prime Minister is enough to put those few old and retired officers to silence.

Director Yu Xi pinched the space between his eyebrows as another young man wearing a police uniform appeared behind the store counter. This young man is a generation younger than Ye Yuyan and Yu Xi but he is a person Yu Xi taught and trained himself. A loyal subordinate of his from within the headquarters.

“Ying Wu, you are to bring Yi Rouya with you and go to his house tomorrow. I will send the address to you,” said Director Yu Xi. “By the way, you are to listen to every order Yuyan would give you and make sure to observe Yi Rouya’s movement at all times. Keep yourself hidden.”

Ying Wu is a new cadet that graduated just a few years ago. He is the younger brother of the former sworn brother of Ye Yuyan and Yu Xi. Ying Su’s younger brother. Ying Su is a gentle yet beautiful recessive alpha. He is Ye Yuyan and Yu Xi’s friend and roommate during their college days but he died in one of the field missions before they officially become a high-ranking police officer. The two of them took over his young brother’s guardianship mostly Yu Xi. That’s why Yu Xi treats Ying Wu as his younger brother and takes him under his wing. They also live together. Ying Wu, unlike his elder brother, is born as a Beta so there are no problems with him living in the same house as an alpha like Yu Xi.

This young officer, Ying Wu responded, “Yi Rouya? Not Ye-ge?”

“Why would there be a need to observe your allies? Don’t let your target notice and don’t get too close…” warned Yu Xi.

Ying Wu responded, “Yes, Dage!”

On the other hand, Ye Yuyan who just left the restaurant was drinking his heart out as an act. But as he got intoxicated by the effects of the wine, his mind got clouded as his past memories flashed in his head. He could still remember the same scene when he met Yu Xi in his past life. At that time he was extremely happy to be reinstated but at the same time so selfish that he even ended up begging his friend to get Hei Yuhua out and join his team. At that time he doesn’t have anything in his head but revenge so when he got what he wanted he made sure that he tortured Hei Yuhua physically and mentally at all opportunity he gets.

A small mistake he made would be rewarded with a slap. If he disobeyed his orders, he wouldn’t be allowed to eat his meals which are supposed to be his responsibility. There are lots of bad things he has done before. Now the intoxication of wine made him perplexed about whether this is his past life or his another reality.

To forget about these things Ye Yuyan ended up coming to a bar, where he drank until he was completely wasted and his wife had to pick him up using a mask to hide half of his face.

Evening. At the bar…

At a corner table within the bar, Ye Yuyan was drinking all on his own. His handsome yet dangerous aura made others stare at him with desires in their eyes yet unable to approach.

Ye Yuyan is like a man of pheromones. Because he is a dominant alpha the pheromones he owns had two effects depending on the one affected by them. If it is an alpha or a beta, they would choose to walk away and avoid them as being near him suffocates them. But the omegas are different, they only feel desire and lust towards Ye Yuyan. He is not an ordinary alpha, his presence is enough to catch everyone’s attention whether it is for a good or a bad reason.

System Yue tried to remind him multiple times but he is too inebriated by wine.

Yuyan, get a hold of yourself. Who the hell told you to drink that much!? Yuhua would scold you so badly when we got home!!

Drunk Ye Yuyan mumbled, “Ugh~ shut up! Who the ** is talking inside my head!?”

Are you for real? Wake up, Ye Yuyan! Are you that drunk!? said System Yue as he looked at the table with empty bottles of wines of all types. Okay. He is indeed dead drunk. Thank God, I told A’Yang. Sigh~

“Shut your mouth! So noisy~” said Ye Yuyan as he fell on the table, dead drunk.

System Yue exclaimed, Damn! Did he faint? Why the hell are you releasing pheromones in this place? You want to get raped by omegas huh!? Yuhua would kill you if you do. Wake up!!

Ye Yuyan’s alpha pheromones were leaking inside the bar. The other alpha and beta customers couldn’t be helped but cower from such a menacing aura. In contrast to their reactions, the omega lost control of themselves. There are some showing signs of activating force heat which is not allowed in public places.

“Fuck! The omegas are in a rut. Contact the hospitals!”

“Who the hell is the alpha-emitting such strong pheromones!? Ask him to stop!”

“Someone get some inhibitors! Inject those on the omegas. Cuffed, the other alphas might attack the omegas releasing pheromones!!!”

Only some betas who aren’t affected by pheromones could move but the aura of Ye Yuyan was enough to restrict them as well and no one could wake Ye Yuyan up to ask him to stop releasing pheromones.

” Boss, what should we do? There would be a riot if this continues!!” ｂｎ𝚘ｖ𝚕．𝚘𝚛𝚐

“C-Call that Dominant Alpha’s family! If he has an omega as him to come if not tell his family to come over or we will be calling the police instead.”

“Boss, I’ve already called them a while ago. They should be here soon.”

“They are so slow. Our place would be in chaos if they arrived late. Who answered the phone, is it his wife or something!?”

“Yes, he sounds like an omega. It must be his wife.”

“Maybe not! That man is a dominant alpha who has an omega that would be compatible with him!?”

It was at this moment when the beta owner of the bar was talking with his beta staff that the door of their bar opened forcefully revealing the beautiful masked figure of Hei Yuhua. His argent irises and phoenix-shaped eyes were enough to get everyone’s attention. Even the owner of the bar and his staff who were born as beta was stunned and captivated by his arrival.

Following behind him are Lou Wei and Yun Jie. Lou Wei who took a step inside the threshold of the bar almost kneeled down as he felt the full pressure of his captain’s pheromones. He is an alpha himself he can smell the scent of pheromones whatever it was from another alpha or omega.

Hei Yuhua also smelled the mixed scents of pheromones inside the bar and ordered Yun Jie who is a beta from their group to tend to Lou Wei.

Hei Yuhua threw a gas mask toward him and said, “Use it on Brother Wei. There are multiple pheromones in the bar. Tell him to wait outside and prevent others from entering. You get back after you send him out. I will need to take control of this place.”

“Be careful, brother. I had hacked all surveillance in this area. You can freely show your face.” said Yun Jie as he dragged his affected lover outside the bar.

Hei Yuhua pulled down his mask when he saw the door of the bar closed. He released his own pheromones to control his husband’s pheromones and spread them in the whole bar. It didn’t take a while for everyone to be intoxicated by his scent and look at him in trance.

He is a dominant omega. His pheromones can put everyone under his control as his mental powers are even stronger than Ye Yuyan. It could affect Betas as well. Plus, Hei Anjing taught him how to control his mental power to control others. Though it was for a short while he could fuse his mental power through his words and get an effect of intoxication even for a short moment.

With his pheromones taking effect on everyone in the area except his husband he commanded with a cold tone.

“Fall asleep.”

Then as if their brains were assaulted by an invisible power all of the people inside the bar regardless of gender had fallen under his control. They’ve all fainted regardless of where they are and fell on the ground and tables.

Panting for over usage of mental powers, Hei Yuhua was panting and tired.

Pants. Pants.

“Hah~ it’s really useful,” murmured Hei Yuhua as he looked around to look for his husband.

He saw Ye Yuyan wasted on a corner table sleeping like a drunk pig as if he hadn’t caused any problems at all. He couldn’t even stop himself from giving him a mean kick.

“Drunk Pig!” cussed Hei Yuhua as he kicked his husband with blame on his tone.
