FRGL chapter 94

Doyle’s face went from white to green, then from green to purple—cycling through a whole palette of colors across his deeply wrinkled face.

In no time, he abruptly waved his hand, startling the two assistants frozen at the doorway. “Seal off the entire prosecutor’s office immediately—don’t let even a bug get through!”

“It’s too late,” Luo Hai said calmly. “I already arranged for every media outlet I know to come for a large-scale interview at 9 a.m. Today. Right about now, they’ve probably just stepped through the front gate.”

The two assistants turned pale with shock. Doyle looked at Luo Hai like he could devour him alive. But the situation was critical—he didn’t have time to deal with Luo Hai right now. He rushed out of the office, tossing an order to the assistant as he went: “Lock him up and secure him. Do not release him without my command!”

The assistant, unaware of the full picture, was startled by the order. “L-Lock him up where?”

Doyle paused for a brief moment, glancing sideways at Luo Hai. “The Omega prison.”

……

When someone reeking of Alpha pheromones was thrown into a crowded cell, all the imprisoned Omegas jumped in alarm.

They had no idea what was happening. From outside, all they could hear were muffled, chaotic noises—shouting, possibly even the sounds of a full-blown conflict. Shackled and powerless, all they could do was back away instinctively. Some were pushed by the sudden movement and cried out in fear, unsure if a new misfortune was about to befall them.

It wasn’t until the Alpha who’d been thrown in lifted his head that several of them gasped in recognition: this disheveled man was none other than the cold-faced “King of Hell” prosecutor—Luo Hai.

Why had he been locked up? And how could an Alpha end up in an Omega prison? What the hell was going on out there? None of the Omegas had any answers.

Luo Hai struggled to sit up from the filthy floor, and the first thing he did was check that his earring was intact. Luckily, the impact hadn’t damaged it—only his clothes had picked up some indescribable odors.

Outside the cell, he could hear Xiao Tao speaking with the assistant who had thrown him in.

“What’s going on here? This prison’s never had an Alpha inmate before! You can’t just toss someone in here without a word. How am I supposed to explain this to the warden…?”

“How you explain it is your problem. My job is just to deliver him.”

“H-How can that be right?! What happened out there? Why was Prosecutor Luo Hai suddenly imprisoned? There’s no trial, no sentence, no paperwork—I can’t even fill out the file—”

The assistant suddenly snapped, cutting him off with a harsh yell. “Why do you care so damn much?! Know your place, you lowly Omega!”

Xiao Tao immediately bowed his head, spine bent even lower than ninety degrees. Not until the assistant stormed out of the prison did he dare to straighten up and turn toward Luo Hai’s cell.

As an Omega who was used to humbling himself before Alphas, Xiao Tao didn’t know what kind of expression he should show Luo Hai. He tilted his head, as if studying an unfamiliar species, and only then cautiously spoke.

“What’s going on? Are you…… are you an Alpha or an Omega?”

Sitting on the floor, Luo Hai looked at him and gave a faint smile. “Gender is just a circumstance. In this kind of world, anyone can become the next Omega.”

….

Eugene arrived faster than Luo Hai had expected. Luo Hai hadn’t even been in the cell for an hour when he heard a loud crash from the outside. The guards’ shouts were silenced in seconds. Eugene burst through the door, followed closely by Fanny and Colin.

“Eugene!” Luo Hai jumped to his feet.

At the same time, Eugene strode to the cell door in three big steps, unlocked it with a key, and pulled Luo Hai into a tight embrace before he could utter another word—sealing his lips with a kiss.

Luo Hai had so much to say.

This place is filthy, you’ll get your clothes dirty. You’re hugging me too tightly—my ribs might break. What’s the situation outside? Are you hurt? Did the plan go smoothly…?

But in that instant, his mind went completely blank. He couldn’t say a single thing.

They’d only seen each other three days ago—so why did it feel like they’d been apart for a lifetime?

It felt like he’d never kissed Eugene before, never known his warmth. Lips pressed tightly together, he wished he could melt into Eugene, merge blood and flesh, and never separate again.

At the cell door, Colin and Fanny came to a dead halt. They exchanged an awkward glance, then forced themselves to casually admire the prison’s “scenery.”

One minute passed, then two… then five. Colin glanced at the clingy pair out of the corner of his eye and couldn’t help but lower his voice to ask Fanny, “How much longer are they going to kiss?”

Fanny clamped a hand over Colin’s mouth and whispered back, “Just wait a bit longer, just a bit longer.”

“If we wait any longer, the guards at the entrance will start waking up.” Colin brushed Fanny’s hand off, voice raised slightly. Maybe it was that sentence that snapped Eugene back to reality—he pulled back and created some space between himself and Luo Hai.

Luo Hai’s eyes were still dazed. It wasn’t until Fanny and Colin entered his line of sight that he abruptly came to his senses, realizing their current situation. His face flushed red, and he quickly raised his hand to wipe his lips in a flustered manner.

“What’s the situation now?” Luo Hai asked while trying to steady his breathing. “What’s going on outside?”

“Everything’s going smoothly. The defense at the prosecutor’s office was even weaker than we expected. When the reporters showed up, the place descended into utter chaos. Omega pheromones were flying everywhere—several journalists ran out screaming,” Eugene said with a smirk.

“I’ve never seen anything so satisfying,” Fanny laughed. “That Flock guy, and Bray too, were so terrified by their own scent that they had full-on panic attacks. They curled up in the corner of their offices, shaking like leaves, couldn’t even speak properly!”

“The power of public opinion is amazing,” Colin added with a grin. “No one was ever afraid of fragile, delicate Omegas before. But now, everyone thinks Omegas are monsters—ghostly creatures that might crawl out of the shadows and drag you to your doom.”

As he spoke, Colin lifted his hand and sniffed himself.

Even though the scent had been diluted by the overwhelming presence of Omegas in the prison, the people present could still tell—Colin’s pheromones no longer belonged to an Alpha. They had turned into the softer, sweeter fragrance of an Omega.

“How does it feel to be an Omega?” Luo Hai asked with a gentle smile.

Colin froze for a moment, then after two seconds of silence, he answered seriously, “It’s strange. Soft. And… unsettling.”

Luo Hai didn’t reply—he just nodded lightly.

Colin looked at him and asked, “I understand the plan now. But boss, when exactly did you manage to expose the entire prosecutor’s office to that drug?”

Luo Hai gave a faint smile, a rare trace of mischief flashing in his dark eyes. “Did you enjoy last night’s drinks?”

Colin’s eyes widened in shock.

“That kind of drug usually requires injection to be effective,” Eugene explained. “But if ingested orally, it takes repeated and prolonged contact. Luckily, with Luo Hai around, we had all the time we needed.”

As he spoke, Eugene forcefully pushed open the cell door. The heavy metal groaned loudly as it swung wide.

The filthy prison cell was now completely open, but the Omegas inside just looked at each other—faces filled with confusion or fear. Not a single one moved.

“What are you still standing there for?” Eugene raised his chin. “Waiting here for the Alphas to come slaughter you all? Or do you think obedience will earn you a chance at survival?”

“No,” Luo Hai said calmly. “The more obedient you are, the easier it is for them to do whatever they want. If they killed the last batch of prisoners, they’ll kill you too. After they’ve killed you, they’ll go after your family and friends. Once they’re done with all the Omegas, they’ll turn their blades on the Betas, the elderly, the children—anyone who stands in the way of their dominance. Don’t wait until the knife is already at your throat to regret not resisting.”

The Omegas in the cell fell silent. For a few seconds, the crowded underground space was so quiet that even a pin drop could be heard.

Then, someone let out a furious, piercing scream that cut through the air—and like a spark in dry grass, it spread. All the imprisoned Omegas surged out of the cell, rushing toward the exit where sunlight streamed in.

Xiao Tao, who had hurried over, was almost knocked down by the tidal wave of people. He didn’t even care about his messy hair or dirty clothes as he shouted frantically, “What are you doing?! What are you doing?! Have you all gone mad?! Get back here!”

Fanny and Colin used their keys to unlock all the other cell doors, and the wave only grew stronger. Before long, the entire prison had been emptied. Xiao Tao was trampled several times and had no choice but to flee for his life.

Only after all the prisoners had escaped did Luo Hai walk toward the entrance.

The sunlight outside was blinding, forcing Luo Hai, just out of the dark prison, to squint and raise his hand to shield his eyes. Suddenly, he felt someone’s gaze on his back. He turned—and met Eugene’s burning eyes.

“What is it?” he asked in a low voice.

“Nothing,” Eugene replied, walking up and taking Luo Hai’s hand, interlocking their fingers. “I just thought… you looked incredibly cool just now when you spoke.”
