Chapter 158: Episode 14.1 Beaten Before He Could Even Move

"Father, you’re finally arrived!" An energetic voice of a young man greeted Shen Zhaohui.

Right after he visited his omega son, Shen Yuan, he immediately flew back to City B and went straight to the Shen Mansion, where his eldest son, Shen Linyu, awaited him. Out of his two sons, Shen Linyu has a striking resemblance to him.

His eldest inherited his exceptional physique, piercing dark eyes, handsome, edgy face shape, dark gray locks, and all the Shen family’s strong and fierce facial features. Above all, he’s an alpha just like him.

Shen Zhaohui uttered a simple "en" in response to his eldest’s question. He took off his coat and handed it to the awaiting maid, who politely received it and then retreated without making any sound.

As if no one had asked him a question, the current head of the Shen Family entered the receiving area and rested on the comfortable couch specially meant for him. He closed his eyes and tilted his head up so he could bathe in the subtle golden light of the chandelier.

It’s as if he is recharging his body, mind, and soul after a very draining day.

As for Shen Linyu, he was left to stand, watching the back of his father.

It was a reasonably cold response from a father-to-son, but it’s not like this is the first time. In fact, Shen Linyu was used to this cold treatment. He’s still smiling as he follows his father and sits on the L-shaped sofa on the right side of his father.

"How is it, father? Did Yuan quit his stupid job in the Hunter Association? Is he now a part of the new guild that we—" Shen Linyu asked one after another, only to be shot down by his father.

"You mean, how is your brother?" Father Shen responded without a hint of familiarity. "He’s of excellent state now. He even brandishes his sharp tongue at me as always."

"He’s my half-brother. Why would I care?" Shen Linyu’s thoughts.

However, what his mouth uttered in a flattering voice was, "Oh, that’s great news. Actually, I expected as much from him since he’s already an S-Class awakener. I trusted the power that he showed during his test."

Shen Linyu slightly leaned his body forward and asked his father, "Since he’s recuperating well, did father talk to him about the new guild that we are planning to build? Is he out of the Hunter Association now?"

"Linyu," Shen Zhaohui’s tone is as heavy as a slab of platinum. It caused Shen Linyu to sit straight and break goosebumps on his nape. "Do you think that I would be this tired if my conversion with your brother went well? After the incident abroad, Yuan might have lost all his memories, but he’s still the uncontrollable scoundrel. He’s the irregular variable in the equation that I could never predict. He might have lost the tact and manners that I ingrained in his bones growing up, but he’s still the same Yuan."

"The same Shen Yuan who always been my disappointment," Shen Zhaohui stated, a small imperceptible arch vaguely drawn in his lips.

Shen Linyu’s facial muscles twitch. Was that a snide remark on Shen Yuan or a compliment?

"I see. Then, the plans to expand into the dungeon industry fell through. Shen Yuan will stay in the Hunter Association?"

The handsome father smirked, "Who told you that would be the end? I will never let my son work in the Hunter Association unless Chairman Mao appoints him as his successor, which obviously will never happen. There’s Xia Jinhai, the Poltergeist, who’s a strong contender to be the next chairman."

"They wouldn’t make way for an omega like Shen Yuan. So, I’m considering placing your brother in a much better position. A place that’s been established for years and remains the best. The Baihu Guild."

Shen Linyu’s snake-like smile became bright. It turns out that the opportunity that they lost didn’t jeopardize their plan at all. Instead, it was a good and fortunate riddance since a fatter and juicier meat replaced it.

"Then, Father, what should we do to make Shen Yuan quit the Hunter Association?"

Shen Zhaohui took a deep breath and dived deep in his mind. The reason why Shen Zhaohui is undisputed as the top power player in Country C’s economy lies in the nature of his awakened ability. He is an esper-type awakener who possesses a monstrous A-Class Tactical Analysis ability.

He could see everything around him as a variable of an equation, and he could instantaneously calculate them to know all the potential outcomes. It is fitting to say that he could see the future, but his method is not based on senses or gut feeling.

It’s simply a play of logic and probability.

And now, he’s using his Tactical Analysis ability to silently control his omega son into doing what he wants.

"It’s impossible to make Yuan give up what he started because I know my son is a man of grit and stubbornness. Talking to him is just a waste of saliva and energy," Shen Zhaohui turned to his son, who was discreetly clenching his fist. "We should shift our focus to the Hunter Association."

Shen Linyu flashed a bright, enthusiastic smile, "I understand, father! Please let me handle this. I could get the results that we wanted without startling the bushes."

Shen Zhaohui raised his brows. It was the first time his eldest had acted actively toward his brother. In order not to dampen this rare eagerness, he decided to leave this idea to Shen Linyu.

He concluded their conversation by standing up and marching his way up to his bedroom. But before he left, he said one final reminder to his eldest son. "You better do it right."

Shen Linyu smiled through the pang on his chest. "Don’t worry, Father. I’ll do this the way a true Shen will handle it. There will be no room for errors."

"As you should," Shen Zhaohui said, and he climbed up the grand staircase without looking back.

Once inside the room, he let out a deep sigh. "Ha, Yuan. My one and only disappointment."

Shen Zhaohui massaged his shoulder and nape, his lips slightly pursed as he remembered his exchange with his only omega son, Shen Yuan, a while ago. "He’s got the sharpness of the Shen family. What a letdown. I guess Shanyuan was right. Our son will be my karma."

What Shen Zhaohui wasn’t aware of was that his youngest son beat him before he could even move.

Chairman Mao and Shen Yuan emptied their brains to consider an effective precaution against his meddling. This is not all that. In fact, Chairman Mao left him an instruction, which, according to the elderly alpha, is an effective way of stirring their real enemy’s calm and stagnant waters.

And right when most people prepare their dinner, the official W account of Country C’s top omega model, Shen Yuan, made an extraordinarily unexpected move that drove his hungry, waiting fans insane.

[Holy shit! Is this for real? Is our Shen Yuan actually hosting a live stream?! What the hell is going on!]

Several comments that aren’t far from this statement lingered in the post’s comment section. All of them are wondering this because the last news they heard was that Shen Yuan was gravely injured after the incident in Taiyuan Ice Dungeon.

This news undoubtedly caused waves among his old fans, who all go back to his modeling career. In fact, they raised money to buy Shen Yuan fruits and flowers to wish him a speedy delivery, but unfortunately, Shen Yuan had already been moved by his husband to someplace safer and better for recovery than the hospital.

It would be a lie to say that they are disappointed in the outcome, but since most of them are working brothers and sisters with at least a thin coat of maturity, they kept an open mind. However, since Shen Yuan’s condition remained gray for them, their worries for their admired omega are growing silently daily.

Now that Shen Yuan is doing a live broadcast, this is undoubtedly their first in the desert for a long time— a desert of uncertainty!

They were too excited to the point that it didn’t take two minutes before Shen Yuan’s livestream became a super topic!

That’s why when Shen Yuan’s face appeared on the livestream, he was shocked to see that he had almost a million viewers, and it’s still increasing!

"Oh, wow. What a crowd," Shen Yuan commented in a daze. He’s presently in their home’s kitchen. Because he wanted to do a laid-back interview with his fans and the netizens, he decided to conduct it while leisurely cooking, showing that he’s in good spirits now.

However, how is he supposed to do that when he’s overwhelmed by these numbers?

He’s overwhelmed.

Having a large audience like this is the first, even for the celestial fox spirit. So, even if he’s thick-skinned, he’s still at a loss!

[Shen Yuan! Huhuhu! Are you okay?]

[Are you still hurting? I can send you medicines!]
