บท 18: Be Careful!

It didn't take much time for the officials to bring the prisoner to the palace. The car was fast enough since it had been made with the latest technology. It transferred the prisoner within minutes.

Yu Weimin was brought into a cage. The officers tied the man up against the wall. Cold shackles clinked as Yu Weimin moved his wrist to relieve the discomfort.

He pursed his lips and sighed. "520, I wonder why the villain isn't here yet? Have I not shocked him enough? Or is he still reminiscing about the past at the riverbank?"

[How would I know that, host?] The system's little voice chirped in his mind. [Let's wait a little longer, yeah?]

Yu Weimin scoffed. "Without that person, I don't even want to bother putting on a performance."

The soldiers stood there and glared at the Omega for being so irresponsive. The one at the front gave the prisoner a kick in his legs, making Yu Weimin hiss.

The latter thought, 'What's with this abuse? At least, the real-world police are better than these people.'

Even though he thought like this, he said nothing. He simply continued to stare at the ground. His hair fell around his face, covering it up. Still, the Omega looked even more alluring in his thin robes.

Since the officials had dragged the man roughly, his robes had loosened up, revealing the slender neck. The soldiers' gaze descended from the neck to the bobbling Adam's apple. They then lowered their gaze to the slightly exposed chest, which heaved up and down while breathing.

The soldiers felt their hearts pounding in their chests. How could someone look so beautiful even in such a situation?

Oliver's skin was fair and soft. They almost wanted to touch the Omega and see if their hands would really feel the smoothness that was clearly visible in front of their eyes.

Too bad, their king had reserved this person already.

The soldiers gave him another few kicks in frustration and left the cell.

Just a few minutes later, Yu Weimin felt a dark gaze staring at his body intently all of a sudden. He raised his head slightly and looked around from the corner of his eyes.

The prison seemed to be empty, without a soul inside. He was sure that no one was around.

His eyes squinted. He almost looked up to see if that person was hiding above his head, but stopped himself in time. Perhaps the man was standing outside the cell, waiting for an opportunity to sneak in.

The corners of Yu Weimin's lips moved up to form a pleasant curve. "He's here. System, it's time to put on a beautiful performance."

[Host, what are you going to do?]

Yu Weimin said nothing. He covered up his expression and lowered his head, continuing to act all pitiful. For the entire day, one tied-up person and another hiding in the shadows stayed like that without moving. Though, as time passed, the intensity of the gaze of the man hiding outside the prison increased.

"I didn't know this guy was so shameless," Yu Weimin scoffed. "He would rather hide and stare at me all day long. Did he think I wouldn't detect him?"

[Host, be careful. Someone's coming.]

The corners of Yu Weimin's lips ticked up. "Time to start the show."

Soon enough, the prison door swung open as a familiar old man walked inside. The king seemed to have turned even older at this point. The only thing that hadn't changed was the glint of lust in his eyes.

"Oliver, you have no idea how bad things are going to be for you now that I have you in my grasp," the man said coldly to the Omega.

Oliver trembled and said, "I have done nothing wrong."

The king suddenly grabbed Oliver's head. His hands gripped the man's hair from the roots and forcibly turned the latter's head over, forcing the man to look up. The beautiful face became even more visible at this point, showing moistened eyes. Oliver's lower lips trembled so much that he found it hard to stop. His eyelids fluttered as a gasp was released from his deep inside his throat.

"P-Please let me go."

The king stared at the gorgeous Omega in front of him. He almost wanted to do this guy right here. After all, this person was all he could think about even after not seeing even a glimpse of him. The old king's heart was deeply immersed in those dreams, so much so that he found it hard to continue sleeping without having a reaction.

Those nights were agonizing for him, but now that he had found the Omega again, he could do whatever he wanted. His hands suddenly itched to touch the guy. His thumb rubbed against his chin. Just as he was about to touch the Omega's trembling lips, the guard outside knocked at the door.

"What the heck is wrong with you guys?!" The king lost his composure. He was so close to getting what he wanted!

He turned over and glared at the guard.

The latter fell to his knees, trembling. "Your majesty, this is urgent. Someone sneaked into the palace, but we can't find him."

"What?!" The king took a deep breath to calm himself down. "Let's go."

Before going, he turned back and glared at Oliver. "Just stay put. I'll be back."

When the king was still inside, the door of the prison was left open the entire time. So Yu Weimin knew that Cole must have had ample opportunity to enter the dark and narrow place.

At this time, the door suddenly closed. The soldiers were stationed right outside the prison with their weapons ready to shoot in case something bad happened. Yu Weimin could hear the warning siren blaring into the speaker, alerting all the soldiers.

They were probably trying to find Cole, who ended up leaving his trail behind.

But none of them could have imagined that the man they were trying to search for was hiding inside this prison.

The same person walked forward, step by step. His footsteps didn't echo, as he suppressed them for fear of making anyone hear them. Soon enough, the man was standing close enough to Yu Weimin, about half a foot away.

Cole was wearing the same mask as back then. His gaze darkened as he watched a certain tied-up man at his mercy.

Yu Weimin chuckled. "You came again?"

This time, Cole said nothing. Perhaps he feared that if he uttered a single word, this man would find out who he was. So he raised his hand and pressed his fingers against the other man's chin. The grip was firm as Yu Weimin hissed.

"System, why is this body so weak?"

[Host, you're still wearing those energy-suppressing cuffs, and Cole fed you poison for several years. What do you expect? Do you want me to give you some pain relieving medicine?]

Yu Weimin looked at a certain cold wolf in front of him and finally said, "Do it. He's not going to let me go easily this time."
