The Devoted Second Male Lead Decided to Favor Someone Else Chapter 28.2
Scarlet Rose [ABO] - What Happens When the Villain Dies at the Beginning? (10)
This young man was clearly not thinking right, not listening to anything he was saying.
Wasn’t an Omega who was willing to help you out of danger after having your child worthy of love?
Payne’s blue eyes were full of Lu Shijin, “Don’t doubt my sincerity. I’m not saying this to take advantage of you or because of influence from your pheromones. I really like you.”
The passionate confession made Lu Shijin’s blood boil. It almost seemed like these passionate acts were making a comeback.
Lu Shijin felt his heart move, “Fuck, this attack from the little wolf puppy is too fierce, I almost can’t hold up, should I accept, or should I accept!”
711 hurriedly shouted, “Hold it! You can’t accept! You should be loving the villain!”
“But I’m also the villain!”
711 righteously said in a strict manner, “So what! Doesn’t it seem great to be both the top and the bottom?!”
Lu Shijin: . . . Holy shit! What the hell is that!
Lu Shijin couldn’t do anything. According to his original plan, he couldn’t respond to Payne’s feelings yet.
If Payne was a love-obsessed fool and tried to save him at all costs after like in the original plot, and eventually lost his life, then it would’ve all been in vain.
So he could only harden his heart and reject Payne for now, not giving him any hope.
“But I don’t like you.” Lu Shijin stood up and ignored Payne, who was still sitting on the ground, as he returned to the bed, his attitude aloof, “Your Highness, you know that I’m actually an Omega. The reason I’m pretending to be an Alpha is because I don’t want to become a toy for the upper class. We’re clearly all the same, so why should there be such clear divisions? I’m not willing. That’s why, your Highness, I’m willing to help you, but you need to promise me one condition.”
Payne felt a bit hurt when Lu Shijin said that he doesn’t like him.
He put down his hand and stood up, not forgetting to maintain his demeanor as he asked, “What condition?”
Lu Shijin raised his chin, flames seeming to be leaping in his eyes.
In a cool voice, he stated, “If you rise to the throne, you must abolish all unfair laws to Omegas, and allow them to participate in politics. As well, I want to be the second most powerful person in the Empire.
To be under one and over thousands, that was a large ambition.
Payne frowned sadly, “How can you be so sure I’ll be able to get out of here?”
Lu Shijin looked at him and said resolutely, “Because I’ll help you.”
Payne didn’t believe that Lu Shijin was so strong, but thought for a moment then smiled.
“Okay, I promise you.”
The current situation was bad enough, it was nice to still have some hope.
Payne walked over to Lu Shijin gracefully and looked down at him. His smile was charming and foreboding as a shallow dimple appeared.
“But the second most powerful person isn’t only the Prime Minister, the Empress of the Empire has the same power. Which position do you want?”
Why was Payne literally promising him the position of Empress? A proposal in disguise?
With a whoosh, the cupid's arrow hit the bullseye.
Lu Shijin wished he could abandon his character set up and all reservations to just push the flirty little wolf pup down.
Lu Shijin resisted the blood drumming in his veins and made his face seem as cold as ice, “If your Highness has the time to joke, then you should try harder and get me pregnant.”
“Has the fever struck?” Payne gently asked.
Lu Shijin glanced at him, “No.”
Payne sighed in regret, “Then we can’t.”
“Why?” Lu Shijin acted calm on the surface, but was actually screaming in his mind: What the fuck? What does he mean we can’t do it? Hurry up! Do it! Don’t pity me just because I’m some aloof person!
Payne frowned, looking distressed, “If it hasn’t come, then the chances of pregnancy is lower.”
Lu Shijin snorted, “Can’t you think of some way?”
“There is.” Payne’s handsome face showed a childish smile, “Alphas can use their pheromones to induce an Omega into heat fever. Major Lu, are you ready?”
Wow! So exciting! It can even be done like this?
Lu Shijin didn’t respond and directly went to lie on the bed, displaying that he would accept anything.
Payne chuckled and gradually, vast and turbulent waves crashed toward Lu Shijin . . .
——
At night, Lu Shijin moved his consciousness back to Blood Owl.
Blood Owl’s base was in an underground military base.
The power of “Scarlet Rose” far exceeded the Empire’s expectations.
Lu Shijin checked the situation at the base through a remote monitor. The weapons armory alone was enough to destroy a planet.
The backgrounds of Blood Owl’s subordinates were also complicated. Other than his infamous lackeys, there were countless others who helped from the shadows.
They were in all parts of society, from beggars on the streets to powerful ministers. Anyone and everyone could be Blood Owl’s eyes and ears.
Lu Shijin lamented that with such great power, it would be very easy for him to guard Payne.
However, although Blood Owl was Scarlet Rose’s leader, many subordinates were dissatisfied with his oppressive actions and harbored thoughts of rebellion.
