Chapter 20 Apology?
<Previous Chapter<Table of Contents>Next Chapter>
After a night of fermentation, the Star Network was already in an uproar. The next day, just as Dong Du got up and was still brushing his teeth in the bathroom, Raptor came in with a small screen on top of his head to boast about it. If he hadn’t been clever yesterday, there wouldn’t be so many people knowing about the master’s heroic appearance last night.
While brushing his teeth, Dong Du read the comments below the video. Although many praised him, there were still many people accusing him of damaging the glands issue. This matter would be clarified at the end of the month, and Dong Du wasn’t angry. He was just curious about one thing, “Raptor, how did you come up with the idea of filming and posting the video online?”
“After my data analysis, this incident is beneficial for the master, so I posted it,” Raptor’s LED screen showed a big smiling face. “And recording videos helps me analyze the master’s movements, enabling me to learn better.”
“Good, good.” Dong Du spit out the foam in his mouth and praised, “You’re a really smart robot.”
Receiving praise, Raptor happily circled around Dong Du. Dong Du had finished grooming himself just in time. He packed his sports bag, opened the door, and Hanchester happened to come out of the elevator. He waved to Dong Du, “Little Highness.”
“You don’t need to come to pick me up later; I’ll find you myself.” Dong Du, dressed in sweat-absorbing sportswear, walked and touched his arm, which had indeed become tighter, but it was absurdly without any muscle gain.
He cast an envious glance at Hanchester’s arms, looking very aggrieved, “It’s been almost a month; why don’t I have any muscles?”
Hanchester knew that this was due to the effect of omega’s pheromones, but he didn’t say it, just replied, “Maybe the time is not enough, and it’s not easy for omega to build muscles.”
The two entered the gym after getting off the elevator. All the alphas inside stopped their movements and looked at Dong Du. Dong Du knew these people must have watched the video from last night. He made eye contact with one of them, smiled, and said, “If you don’t believe it, do you want to try it yourself?”
The alphas in the gym weren’t skeptical; they were evaluating. They were assessing whether they had a chance against this little prince. Now that he had mentioned it, one of the alphas’ eyes lit up, “Sure, let’s try it. There’s a practice room downstairs, let’s go there?”
Dong Du glanced at Hanchester. Seeing that he didn’t object, he nodded in agreement. Almost all the alphas in the gym went downstairs. Dong Du and Hanchester stood together. Dong Du asked him softly, “Didn’t you see the video Raptor posted?”
“I saw it.” Hanchester sighed. He hadn’t mentioned it before because he didn’t want Dong Du to be upset early in the morning. But since he asked, he explained what he knew, “Qin Yu’s brother also has some prestige in the Black Gold Fortress. Last night, he found the general as soon as he came up. Although the general doesn’t think it’s your fault, however, last night, Qin Yu was suppressed by your pheromones to the point of collapse. You should go and check on him later.”
I can actually suppress with pheromones?
Originally, Dong Du, who was still in high spirits, suddenly turned gloomy after getting off the elevator. The alphas thought it was their provocation that angered the little prince, and the place fell silent. The group entered the training room in unison.
Dong Du looked at one of them, “You first?”
The person agreed, flexing his fists, but he didn’t last two minutes under Dong Du.
The training room fell into extreme silence. After a moment, someone expressed doubt, “Is he really an omega? Could there be a mistake in testing during differentiation?”
“Have you ever seen such a petite alpha?” Another person argued, but then gasped, “Can an omega really fight this well?”
“I admit that the little prince is really powerful, but won’t such a person with questionable character be more deadly?”
“Anyone else want to challenge?” Dong Du sat cross-legged on the ground. Although he heard someone questioning, there was no sign of anger.
“I’ll try.” Someone pushed through the crowd and walked out. This alpha was different from the previous one, with a more robust physique and a distinct air, likely a higher-ranked alpha.
The omega academy is almost like an omega playground, and the content of the study is entirely useless to Dong Du. Still, it at least let him know that alphas and omegas are graded, and the higher the rank, the stronger the suppression power of pheromones.
Dong Du stood up from the ground, staring at the opponent earnestly. The opponent didn’t say anything, just started to attack after Dong Du signaled readiness. They went back and forth for several rounds, but Dong Du showed no signs of being at a disadvantage. On the contrary, the opponent unexpectedly showed signs of fatigue.
After another round, the opponent voluntarily admitted defeat. “I lost, I can’t beat the little Highness.”
A sigh of regret arose from the crowd. This was an A-level alpha; an omega actually defeated an A-level alpha. How unbelievable.
Now was undoubtedly the best time for Dong Du to change his image. He smiled and scanned the crowd, “Anyone else want to give it a try?”
No one in the crowd spoke. Seeing that it was almost enough, Hanchester walked out and said to Dong Du, “Let’s stop here today; it’s time for breakfast.”
“Ah, I haven’t gotten my tray yet.” Dong Du’s attention was immediately shifted. He quickly ran to the elevator, waving to the crowd as he entered, “Let’s fight again next time.”
He thought nobody would reply, but quite a few people in the crowd said goodbye and mentioned meeting again next time.
After having breakfast, the staff of the High Tower began working, and this month’s government disclosure was quickly posted on the bulletin board of the Black Gold Fortress and simultaneously released on the Star Network.
Because the Black Gold Fortress discloses government affairs every month, the residents of the Black Gold Fortress have almost developed a habit of checking the announcements. Soon, there were comments below the announcement.
“Why was this month’s announcement posted early, and it even contains explosive news!”
“????? Is this true or false? Gneville’s gland was not ruined by the little prince?”
“Even if the gland wasn’t ruined by the little prince, isn’t he still not a good person?”
“Replying to upstairs, besides the gland incident, what other bad things has the little prince done? Can you list them one by one?”
“He just beat Qin family’s young master yesterday!”
“So shouldn’t the Qin family’s young master be beaten? The things he said were just too despicable!”
…
Previously, the comments below the government disclosure were mostly check-ins, flower-throwing, and praising the greatness of the High Tower. However, this time, almost all the discussions were about the little prince. After careful discussion in the comments, it was found that besides damaging gland tissue, the little prince seemed to have not done anything outrageous.
Or rather, he had not done anything outrageous. Every time he tried to do something, he was stopped and slapped in the face.
In the end, the residents of the Black Gold Fortress seemed to feel a bit sympathetic towards him. The little prince was really pitiful; the clown was himself.
Dong Du was unaware of the online comments. At the moment, he was being led by Hanchester towards Qin Yu’s ward. Qin’s family had a grand setup, with four bodyguards standing at the door of the ward. No one had passed by the door, but when they wanted to enter, the guards would were afraid to intercept.
Hanchester pushed the door open for Dong Du, and Dong Du, yawning, walked in.
Qin Yu still looked the same as last night, huddled on the hospital bed. When he saw Dong Du, his eyes lit up, and he smiled at him in an attempt to please. “I didn’t mention Li Sheng again.”
Qin Yi, who was sitting next to the bed, slicing an apple, frowned. “What does this have to do with Sheng Sheng?”
Dong Du glanced at him but ignored him. He walked to the bedside, murmuring to himself in a low voice, “Do pheromones have such great power? Did I really use this move? Qin Yu, you wouldn’t be pretending, would you?”
Qin Yu pulled himself into the blanket, afraid to speak.
Qin Yi, who was ignored, held back his anger. When he heard Dong Du say this, he bluntly said, “You’ve injured him like this, and you still doubt whether he’s pretending. Little prince, can’t you take responsibility?”
“You’re really strange. Do I need to take responsibility for this matter?” Dong Du finally turned his gaze to Qin Yi, sneering, “Don’t you know how many bodyguards your brother brought to give me a hard time? If you don’t know what he’s planning, you can go online and watch the video.”
“But he didn’t hurt you, yet you’ve hurt him like this.” Qin Yi clenched the fruit knife in his hand. “What else do you want?”
“I don’t want anything. I just came to see him based on someone else’s words. It’s a bit wrong to hurt him like this, but what he originally intended to do to me is a hundred times more disgusting than this. So, don’t expect me to apologize, okay?” Dong Du smiled. “No apologies, but if you want revenge, come find me.”
With that, he pulled Hanchester out of the ward’s door. Hanchester’s gaze fell on the hands of the two held together. Before Dong Du withdrew his hand, Hanchester grasped it.
“Don’t worry, Qin Yi won’t be foolish enough to trouble you. He wants to do business in Black Gold Fortress, and in the end, he still relies on the High Tower. The general doesn’t think you’re wrong, so you’re not wrong.” Hanchester comforted him.
Dong Du looked at Hanchester strangely. “I wasn’t wrong from the beginning—why are you holding my hand?”
Hanchester: “…”
“It was clearly you who held my hand first.” He did not let go.
“That’s true.” Dong Du nodded, took his hand back, and said, “Two grown men holding hands together is really weird.”
Two grown men?
Hanchester was puzzled, but he didn’t ask. Instead, he said, “Little Highness, the inspection ship is about to depart. You may not see me for a long time.”
“I won’t forget you. After all, we’re good buddies.” Dong Du patted his arm and wanted to say something more, but his smart ring rang.
As the call connected, Ling Zhuo’s gentle voice came through, “Little Highness, although we are just a school specializing in self-cultivation, shouldn’t you take a leave if you don’t come to class? The teacher can’t know every time what you’re doing through the news.”
Dong Du’s heart skipped a beat. He completely forgot about the fact that he was still attending school. It was all because this school didn’t teach regular courses!
