Match the aggressive alpha with the omega

Chapter 04: The Greed of the Shi Family

It had been a few days since the match was confirmed, and the results caused quite a stir, not only in the Shi family. Xi Ming also looked at the matching results on his terminal with equal confusion.

"...Shi Can?" Xi Ming muttered the name, frowning as he tried to recall his past life's memories but couldn't find any impression related to this omega.

"Ugh—"

Perhaps he was thinking too hard, as a sudden burst of intense pain hit him. Xi Ming clenched his fists and shut his eyes tightly.

He didn't know how long had passed, but when he finally managed to withstand the pain in his mind, the alloy armrest beneath his hand was slightly deformed from his grip. When he opened his eyes again, a lingering madness and exhaustion remained.

What's the point of being reborn... Xi Ming looked out the window at the new servants whose faces were still filled with fear and anxiety. His expression was cold and menacing. The people of the empire, whom he had once foolishly protected, later turned their blades on him without hesitation.

The entire country was full of hypocritical, selfish people at the top, and the masses below were ignorant, easily manipulated, and hiding away in safe zones, though they were always quick with their sharp tongues.

The events of 823 had already made Xi Ming lose any goodwill he had toward the royal family, but he still cared for the empire. For its sake, he had endured physical and mental agony, spending years summarizing his battle strategies. Yet, after his identity as the author was revealed due to some minor habits, it led to a wave of insults.

However, when the empire faced a powerful enemy later on, the very people who had ridiculed his strategies relied on his writings to hold out for a while longer, even winning a few battles. Yet, not a single person thanked him.

Eventually, when the empire could no longer hold on, and the enemy general demanded that Xi Ming be handed over as a condition for considering peace talks, the people were more than eager to comply. Online, people were practically wishing for him to go die as soon as possible.

The enemy general was a former member of a pirate gang Xi Ming had once wiped out. His demand for Xi Ming was purely personal. But the country Xi Ming had protected, from the top to the bottom, celebrated and agreed to it without even trying to negotiate.

Xi Ming had spent most of his short life on the battlefield, fighting insectoids, pirates, and the Federation to defend the empire. In the end, though, it was the empire he had protected for six years that handed him over to his old enemy.

Upon hearing that people were coming to arrest him, Xi Ming lost all hope in the empire.

By that time, Xi Ming's body had been ravaged by radiation for nearly ten years, leaving him fragile and weak. Even if no one came for him, he wouldn't have lasted much longer.

Unwilling to be captured, yet with no way out, the servants in his home looked at him with eyes full of greed, hoping to tie him up and hand him over themselves. They even opened the door for his captors.

Xi Ming chose to go down with them. With his spine straight, he pressed the detonation button, bidding a final farewell to his identity as an imperial soldier, and severing all ties with the empire.

His heart was filled with resentment and hatred. After the excruciating pain, he once again saw the light. He had returned...

Returned to five years ago.

Thinking of the final war in his previous life, Xi Ming's eyes grew colder. This time, he would never write those battle strategies again.

As for the empire...
