When an Alpha is Marked by One of His Own Kind

Chapter 6

"I've now confirmed with my own eyes that this person is not to be fucked with," Lele muttered to himself as he stared at the blinding 'woof' on his monitor. For some reason, he felt a twinge of sympathy for Shen Qiao.

At their experience and skill levels, they'd seen it all. This dick was massive, what kind of rift... ah, no. The world of the rift was massive, what kind of dick hadn't they encountered?

But a douchebag this forward and perverted... it really was Lele's first time witnessing such an exchange.

Shen Qiao was also momentarily dazed by that message. But if this blind monk could joke around with him even after being dissed by the enemy, then Shen Qiao probably didn't have to worry about that player's mental stability. This monk was clearly a veteran; Shen Qiao needn't worry.

But if the monk had time to mess around, wouldn't it have been so much sweeter to dedicate that time to bagging a few more kills?

Shen Qiao didn't look at the chat box again. He focused on moving between the top and middle lanes, defending their towers. Because he'd scored several kills early on, the gold reward for offing him had gone up. The opposing Xayah and Rakan couldn't resist. After taking care of Vayne in the bottom lane, they joined up with Swain to target Shen Qiao and the hefty bounty on his head.

A 2v1 wasn't enough to intimidate Shen Qiao. But for some reason, perhaps to sneer in the face of the insults that had been thrown earlier, that blind monk popped out of the underbrush every time an enemy targeted Shen Qiao.

Originally, Shen Qiao thought the blink monk was cutting in to steal a kill. He used Tiamat to finish off Rakan, allowing Xayah to escape. But the monk popped up just then and gave Xayah a fierce kick, knocking her down in front of Shen Qiao.

Before Shen Qiao could even think about it, his body had instinctively reacted to that offering and claimed another kill.

He stared at the screen for a while, until Lele's voice rang out through his headset: "Qiao-ge, that Little O wants you to check the chat. He's asking if you want a red buff?"

Shen Qiao took a second to glance at the chat box. After a second, he typed:

[Coming.]

Lele sighed. "Just look at these perfect, gift-wrapped offerings. I get the feeling there's no man in the rift who wouldn't fall for this omega's charms."

Shen Qiao scoffed. While fighting the monster that would grant a red buff, he unhurriedly answered, "Are you sure an omega like this exists in our world?"

Lele earnestly shook his head. "Never met one like this before. That's why I feel like my eyes have been opened to a whole new world today."

Shen Qiao didn't say anything else. Whether the other party was an omega or not was of no importance to him. Top laners were destined to be lone wolves. Even in the rift, there was no such thing as romance for them.

......

The intermittent clicks and clacks of a keyboard and mouse drifted through the training room.

The man whose profile was as beautiful as a work of art curved his lips into a slight smile. He watched as his computer monitor played out the sight of Renekton, with his jagged rows of crocodile teeth, wielding a giant scythe and claiming a buff for himself. When the symbol indicating a red buff appeared under Renekton's feet, a subtle wave of emotion passed through the spectator's eyes, rippling over still waters.

While Lu Zhe teased Shen Qiao with practiced ease, his antics were unexpectedly witnessed by Qian Bao, who'd just finished a round on her computer. Qian Bao was thoroughly stunned by the sight of that girlish, yearning smile on Lu Zhe's face. She couldn't help but sneak a peek at his monitor.
