章 17: So Annoying!

[Host! You were awesome!] A certain system's chiming voice echoed in his mind.

Yu Weimin frowned as he wanted to press his finger on his forehead before realizing that his hands were cuffed. He sighed and suppressed his urge.

"Can you lower your voice? I feel like you honked in my ears."

"Sorry, but host," 520 lowered her voice and said, "you were so good! I didn't know your acting skills were so great!"

Yu Weimin scoffed. Wasn't it thanks to a certain sticky marshal who would always be on his tail? He was forced to wear a disguise and perform embarrassing acts just to lose that tail. Over the years, he became an expert at maintaining disguises.

The skill that had helped him escape was now aiding him in torturing the same person. It was amazing how the tables had turned.

Yu Weimin was in a good mood, but he didn't show it on his face. Those soldiers pushed him rapidly now and then, loosening his hair crown. His hair fell to his face, and he hid his expression behind the natural curtain.

At this time, Yu Weimin could almost compare this scene to what had happened in his real life. The soldiers also pushed him like this.

He scoffed and continued to walk on the street, with soldiers surrounding him on all sides. Ordinary citizens walked out to see what was up, and they were surprised to see a familiar man walking surrounded by soldiers.

"Isn't that, Mr. Wei? Why is he surrounded by so many soldiers?"

"No, there must be some misunderstanding. Let's go and see."

The commoners didn't know what had happened in the hall. All these years, since this Yu Weimin had done several good deeds under the garb of Mr. Wei, none of them could believe that such a person was being dragged away in cuffs.

When someone saw that the cuffs weren't ordinary, but were the ones that suppressed one's powers, everyone became even angrier.

In this world, even though the power system was deeply classified, as in Yu Weimin's real world, everyone had spiritual powers running deep in their veins. Some people, like the Alphas, had high-level powers and could kill someone with one punch.

But those with less power were more agile and quick to avoid such punches. In most cases, Omegas didn't have much power, to begin with because they were meant to be childbearing beings.

Oliver was the only one who went against the norm and managed to become an assassin who killed an Alpha! So it was necessary to cuff this little guy.

But others didn't know Mr. Wei and Oliver were the same. In their eyes, this person would not only help blind ladies cross the road but would also carry bags for the elderly while walking down the street and would even help beggars. He was a textbook example of a 'good person.' The people here had never seen him using powers, and such a scene made their blood boil.

"Hey, even if you're a soldier, you shouldn't treat someone innocent so terribly! What's the point of forcing him into handcuffs?! Take them off!"

"Are you trying to kill Mr. Wei by cutting off his powers?!"

"Uncuff him right this instant!"

Slowly, the crowd of commoners gathered and started protesting against Yu Weimin's arrest. The situation got so bad that the police had to use guns and laser blades to control the crowd.

After half an hour, the officers finally managed to push the guy inside the car. The driver drove the vehicle towards the palace.

Yu Weimin leaned back and closed his eyes, acting like he wasn't the one who had just pleaded his innocence to Cole. From the side, his silent face enhanced his beauty even more.

His closed eyes and lashes seemed to brush against the soft surface of his cheeks. Because of the slight breeze from the AC, his lips slightly parted and his hair waved away from his face. The fair skin and lean stature looked even more appealing, making it difficult to believe that this person was over thirty.

The officials who came to capture this guy almost felt blinded by his beauty. They kept staring at the man, not believing that an Omega could be so attractive.

Of course, ordinary Omegas were indeed good-looking, but something was different about Yu Weimin. He appeared to be a heavenly angel who had descended to the mortal plane to shine his elegance.

If it weren't for the fact that this man was a criminal, they would have pursued this guy.

Such a tragedy…

They sighed and continued to drive.

At the same time, Cole stood on the street and watched as the car disappeared into the street. He lowered his head.

Someone from the audience inside the hall rushed over and pushed Cole's shoulders. "Hey, Brat, aren't you Mr. Wei's brother?! Why didn't you help him? Do you have any conscience?"

"Shut up!" Cole glanced darkly at the other man. "If you don't know anything about him, you'd better shut your mouth and get the heck out of here! And what did you say? Do I have any conscience? If I didn't have one, I wouldn't have helped you guys capture such a criminal! So believe what you want. I don't care."

"Eh? Just look at this rude guy. He deserves to be left alone!"

Cole wasn't irritated because of those accusations. He couldn't pinpoint where his irritation came from. He frowned as he watched the place where the car had just disappeared to. He got a headache as the face of a familiar Omega kept flashing in front of his eyes.

"Fine! But this will be the last time I approach him!"

Everyone was surprised by his outburst, but neither of them could understand what he was talking about. They just kept giving him accusing looks.

Cole walked back to the hut and stared at the place without any hint of life around it. He actually didn't care whether Raven was around or not. Since she grew up, the girl had disliked staying in this house and had frequently fled to find her friends.

The only thing he missed was the sound of wood chopping on the backside of the hut. That sound would often make Cole subconsciously feel relaxed. At least, there was a breathing person to keep him company. Even though he hated the Omega, that sound somehow gave Cole a satisfying feeling.

But now, even that voice had come to a halt. He couldn't help but feel uncomfortable.

His rosy lips parted slightly as if he wanted to say something, but since no one was around, he closed them again.

He glanced at the place, especially the garden where Yu Weimin would bend and take care of the flowers. Then he glanced at the riverbank where the man would wash his clothes.

For some reason, Cole felt that the place he temporarily called home had turned into a cold, heartless dwelling without a soul. The beauty that Oliver left behind almost made him feel suffocated.

Now, Cole wanted to meet that person more than ever.

No, why was he having these feelings for that person? So annoying!
