Chapter 300: Episode 28.1 A Warm Welcome After The Sick Leave

Rut cycles of alphas typically last for just two days. It was brief, totally unlike omegas’ monthly heat that could last for at most a week.

This is one of the reasons why alphas are much more preferred in the workplace.

More time for work, less hassle. Compared to omegas who can be easily influenced to go into heat by alpha’s pheromones, alphas who are only susceptible to quarterly ruts pose fewer problems.

Times might have changed, and the superiority among the secondary sexes has long been proven to be a myth. However, inconveniences like the ones mentioned above remain a reality; omegas in society still inevitably get the short end of the stick.

Some people, particularly those with good opinions about themselves and are sick of seeing others happy, wouldn’t think twice about making omegas feel bad for their "inconvenience."

"Haaa! That Shen Yuan has been absent for how many days, was it three? He filed damn sick leave for days while the entire country was busy hunting the Cardinals. The audacity! Where is her responsibility as an S-class awakener working under the Hunter Association?!" Mo Lihua of the Crimson Guild loudly voiced out her discontent.

The sharp flaming heels of her stilettos angrily hit the polished floors of the halls of Hunter Association. The angst of a narcissistic female alpha is very evident in her every stride.

They didn’t mind stopping and greeting the staff of the Hunter Association.

This is not her office nor her building but her posture screams that she’s the "boss." She truly wears the crown of an S-class mage with pride and arrogance.

His son, Mo Zhu, is following her tracks with a prideful gaze and signature smug smile.

"Mom, you can’t blame him for excusing himself. I heard his heat cycle suddenly came—an irregular heat, I presume."

Mo Lihua’s eyes glinted with sarcasm and malice. "An S-class agent who neglects his pheromone level. So irresponsible. He doesn’t deserve all the privileges he gets from the Hunter Association! Since I am here to meet with Chairman Mao. Why don’t I ask him to reconsider Shen Yuan’s employment? He’s not suited to be in a government post."

"I think so too, Mom. I think that Shen Yuan had gotten used to the privileges he was born with, he didn’t get to learn the importance of self-sacrificing for the job. He’s a disgrace to all hard-working omegas."

The mother and son duo laughed like a cannon fodder villain who is about to get their ass whipped by the main character.

And as close as that statement to the truth, a voice rang from their backs, interrupting their enjoyable conversation, "Oh my, you would really do that for me? I am touched and while at it, please tell Chairman Mao that I don’t mind even if he waives my separation pay. I had enough of his surprise missions!"

"You— Shen Yuan!" Mo Zhu gasped, startled.

The newly arrived Shen Yuan confidently strutted towards the mother and son of the Mo family. Mo Zhu couldn’t help but take a step back to Shen Yuan’s every step. Because how can he not? The platinum-haired demon is currently drenched with blood in both sleeves.

Shen Yuan’s entirety is akin to that of a character from a slasher nightmare! Especially that crisp designer coat he’s wearing, he looked like a rich psycho serial killer who does yoga in the morning from that certain movie!

"The one and only," Shen Yuan cockily raised his eyebrow and smirked.

"I thought you were still on sick leave. I didn’t hear about your return," Mo Zhu uttered absentmindedly. The look on his face was discomforting.

"Well, I didn’t clock in earlier because Chairman Mao crudely sent me to a mission right after my heat subsided. That must explain your lack of knowledge about my return to work. But on the other hand, I also think that we are not close enough to care about each other. Don’t you think so? You don’t have any right to know that I was sent to raid the drug lair of the drug syndicate that’s allegedly pumping funds to the Cardinals."

Shen Yuan’s eyes glinted with pure malice. "You don’t know me the same way I don’t know you."

"That’s why you wouldn’t hear me talking shit about you behind your back. I don’t know everything about you. I don’t know if you get the position of department head of Dungeon Management through real skills or— you know, privilege."

Like a true mean bitch, Shen Yuan emphasized the last word.

As a mother, Mo Lihua’s ears immediately perked up at the sound of insult towards his son.

"Did you just discredit my son’s hard work? Right in front of me?" Mo Lihua’s voice came down thunderous.

Shen Yuan nonchalantly clicked his tongue, "Hmmm. I am just saying in a roundabout way that your son is a skillless nepo baby, you old hen, phoenix-wannabe."

"This disrespectful child! You dare to call your senior names!" Her alpha pride bruised, Mo Lihua angrily covered her fist with raging red fire and punched Shen Yuan right in his stomach.

Unfortunately for her, Shen Yuan’s battle instincts are on high alert. He literally just walked out of a battlefield and is on his way to personally report about it to Chairman Mao. That’s why he effortlessly caught the flaming fists with his bare hand and not only that, but he also managed to land a counterattack.

And it’s a brilliant move from the celestial fox spirit.

"Argh!" Mo Lihua groaned in pain when Shen Yuan’s bare fist landed on her solar plexus. It wasn’t packed with magic, but the pain from those pale fists was enough for an alpha with a good physique like her to twitch like an asphyxiating fish! She can’t breathe properly!

"Mom!" Mo Zhu quickly runs to his mother’s side to help her up. His heartbeat is racing, worried about his mother’s condition.

"Shen Yuan! How dare you! I know you are arrogant because you’re an S-class awakener, but do you really think you can get away with attacking my mother? She is an S-class awakener just like you! Do you think you can afford to fight with a fellow S-class mage? Think again!"

Shen Yuan delightedly cackled. Now, that made him feel like he was the main villain who attacked first.

"Not only you are an aspiring home wreaker who fantasizes about my husband, but you are also a disgrace to all redheads. Have you forgotten that kicking the asses of S-class awakeners is part of my job? The last one I beat is currently kept away in Diyu. You must be aware of that, stupid."

He crossed his arms and asked, "And do I also have to remind you that she is the one who attacked me first? I only moved in self-defence. The CCTV cameras can vouch for me."

Only then did Mo Zhu realise that their entire situation was recorded by the cameras installed in the hallways.

That is bad news for them because once the news about this altercation spreads wide, no matter how they spin the story, even if it was his mother who was the one who got injured, they can only be called a villain thanks to the footage.

They will be the prime example of "fuck around and find out" to other people.

"Ehem! Ehem!" Mo Lihua let out a painful fit of cough. She can’t even make a string of intelligible words to defend herself.

Shen Yuan’s smile widened. Well, he is not saying that he’s a genius, but he is sure that Mo Lihua will not be able to speak for at least five minutes. He just specifically sucker-punched her in the diaphragm.

Mo Lihua is not in a state where she can make more trouble for Shen Yuan.

"But still!" Mo Zhu angrily glared at Shen Yuan. "You shouldn’t have hurt my mother!"

To say that Shen Yuan didn’t get where Mo Zhu is coming from was false. He can understand the anger and as a parent himself, he honestly feels touched. The way this pair got angry for each other’s sake is really inspiring and Shen Yuan couldn’t help but envy the care and concern they have for each other.

However, these are the same people who dared to talk shit about him behind his back so, he can’t feel a hundred percent terrible.

"Whatever. It’s not like she can’t fight back," Shen Yuan turned to the wheezing Mo Lihua. "You should be thankful that a punch is the only thing I did as self-defence. If today was a bad day and I hadn’t received any "dicking" from my husband, I may go as far as cutting off your hand."

Mo Zhu looked at Shen Yuan with disbelief. Did he just hear Shen Yuan threatening his S-class mother?! And how can he casually mention having sex with Bai Tingfeng?!

A sharp pang on the chest made Mo Zhu wince. He may have stopped himself from actively chasing after Bai Tingfeng but that doesn’t change the fact that the man is his beloved.

Mo Zhu stood as a storm of emotions was ransacking his mind. He really hates Shen Yuan now!

"Haa! Haaa!" Mo Lihua is wheezing.

"I think this should be the part where you’re taking your dear mother to the clinic. She’s as pale as a ghost now and my patience is running thin. I highly encourage you two to get the hell out of here."

Only then did Mo Zhu snap back to reality. He held up his mother and said through gritted teeth. "This incident is far from over, Shen Yuan. You can’t just provoke the Mo family and get away from it."

It seemed Mo Lihua didn’t want to back away, considering how she glared at Shen Yuan. But due to Mo Zhu’s insistence, she ultimately let herself be taken by his son.

Shen Yuan only rolled his eyes at the retreating backs of the mother and son.

He swears that he would never let Yanyan and himself be like that pathetic pair.

Shen Yuan continued to go to Chairman Mao’s office after that, and he opened the door with a bang.

"Well, well, well. Welcome back to my most reliable omega agent. You seemed to be in a foul mood considering how you almost demolished my door," Chairman Mao greeted the celestial fox spirit the very moment he stepped in.

The senior alpha with overgrown ashen hair maintained his gaze on the documents he was reading until Shen Yuan sat in front of his table.

"Wow," Chairman Mao did a quick swipe at the current state of his S-class employee. "You looked like you had your fun."
