Reborn as a Scummy Alpha, I Became Every Heroine's Obsession - Chapter 50

As Gu Qiqi walked past Feng Jiying, she gave her a small shove and said with a mocking tone,

“Weak little omegas should stay in their warm little shelters. If you get yourself hurt, I’m not responsible.”

Gu Qiqi had lost all memories of her past with Feng Jiying in Central City.

To her, Feng Jiying was nothing more than the omega who had tried to kill her. What remained between them was an unfamiliar kind of hatred.

From Gu Qiqi’s perspective, she believed Feng Jiying wouldn’t even recognize her. Since her rebirth and reappearance in Central City, they had never interacted.

She took another bite of the chocolate stick in her mouth and finished it cleanly, wasting nothing.

With one hand in her pocket, she stared ahead at Zhao Zhongtian, who stood in the chaos like a raging beast, his face twisted with madness as storms of psychic energy swirled around him.

There was a heavy sense of pressure in the air, but Gu Qiqi’s expression remained calm and composed. She watched Zhao Zhongtian with quiet amusement.

Zhao Zhongtian caught the scent of her pheromones and froze.

He wiped away a trace of blood from his lip and stared at her with a mixture of hatred and disbelief.

“You’re still alive? Why are you still alive?”

He had already killed many alphas and omegas in Central City. For the first time, he had tasted the thrill of killing without consequence.

Rather than be trampled underfoot, he would become the monster no one could control. He would let the blood rush through his veins and destroy everything.

For half a month, no one had been able to stop him. He believed that if he eliminated all the powerful alphas and marked every omega, he could claim Central City as his own.

He wanted everyone in this city of luxury and privilege to understand that the true king had risen. And that king had come from the Periphery.

With every step Gu Qiqi took forward, her psychic pressure grew stronger.

This was the kind of force that only a true dominant power could unleash.

She spoke coldly.

“Are you disappointed that I didn’t die? I used to believe that people were different. The kind of person you are and the way you live your life had nothing to do with me. But the one thing you should never have done was drag me into it.”

“Zhao Zhongtian, you’ve never been a good person. The moment you used your own brother as a bargaining chip, your fate was sealed.”

Her voice echoed calmly in his ears. There was no rage, no malice, only a cold, flat tone.

Zhao Zhongtian clutched his head in agony, the image of his tormented brother Zhao Ruri flashing before his eyes.

“You say your brother was everything to you,” Gu Qiqi continued. “But in the end, you were the one who sent him into that twisted principal’s bed. You are the most selfish person of all.”

“No… I didn’t… it wasn’t me!” Zhao Zhongtian screamed. “It was all of you! If you had just done what the principal asked… if you had been with him… then I wouldn’t have had to… my brother wouldn’t have suffered… this is all your fault!”

He buried his face in his hands, unable to look at her.

But Gu Qiqi already knew everything that had happened, thanks to the third-person view system.

Now, all she needed to do was eliminate the supposed protagonist and take his place.

She would absorb the fate and power the game system had once granted him.

Zhao Zhongtian unleashed his psychic energy and charged at her.

“It’s all your fault! Why are you still alive? I gave everything for this. I put all my plans into motion. Why are you still here?”

Gu Qiqi raised one hand.

In that moment, Zhao Zhongtian’s powerful 2S-plus-level energy was instantly crushed.

Her psychic force was so strong, it took visible shape.

A massive, invisible hand formed around Zhao Zhongtian and squeezed him tight, lifting him several meters into the air.

Zhao Zhongtian struggled to breathe.

“This isn’t possible. Your psychic level was only S-plus. How are you stronger than me?”

Gu Qiqi knew that everyone in Central City was watching. Even the Federation government was observing from the shadows.

She smiled slightly.

Raising her arm, she slowly closed her fingers, as though gripping something in the air.

Zhao Zhongtian’s chest began to heave as he gasped for breath. His face turned red, and panic filled his eyes.

“You didn’t know the truth,” she said. “My real identity is the granddaughter of Gu Fangfang. The Gu family was once the strongest military force in interstellar society. And now, I am the strongest individual alive.”

She recalled that after her gender differentiation, the Federation President had secretly issued a top-level protection order for her.

Clearly, he had known the truth from the beginning. He had orchestrated everything behind the scenes, allowing other families to make the first move against her, hoping someone else would eliminate her.

So this was what the system meant by being reborn through death.

Love? What was the point?

These storyline-heavy romance missions were all shallow and full of meaningless fluff.

From now on, she wouldn’t make space for some so-called protagonist. She wouldn’t clean up anyone else’s mess.

She would never again be the disposable pawn.

From now on, she would do only what she wanted. She would live for herself, and she would enjoy it.

Gu Qiqi injected her psychic energy directly into Zhao Zhongtian’s gland.

When a stronger alpha forced their energy into a weaker alpha’s gland, it caused permanent damage. The target would lose their rank, their control, and their ability to use pheromones or psychic power.

It was the same as being crippled.

To an alpha, this was the ultimate humiliation.

Zhao Zhongtian screamed and thrashed in pain.

But he could do nothing but watch as Gu Qiqi’s psychic energy twisted into physical form and tore through him from the inside out.

The pain was unbearable. He screamed with all his might.

“Why… I don’t accept this… I can’t accept this!”

Through it all, Gu Qiqi stood calmly with one hand in her pocket.

The once-glamorous commercial district of Central City had turned into a wasteland. Dust filled the air. Trash drifted across cracked pavement. Everything was quiet and broken.

And in the middle of it all stood Gu Qiqi.

Powerful. Confident. Her presence inspired awe and the instinct to kneel in reverence.

With a slight wave of her hand, Zhao Zhongtian crashed to the ground with a heavy thud.

She walked forward and nudged his face with the toe of her boot.

“I didn’t return to Central City to play games. You were first. Next will be the headmaster of Military Academy 330.”

“I will make sure every single person who hurt me pays the price.”

“As for you, your life belongs to the Federation. Every family has its laws, and every nation has its rules. I don’t have the right to execute you. Consider this my gift to the government. Let’s hope they understand the meaning behind it.”

System message: Host, that was incredible. That move was perfection. You were born for action arcs. Romance? Cut it. Just delete it entirely.

Feng Jiying stood just a short distance behind Gu Qiqi.

She had been caught in the wave of Gu Qiqi’s pheromones and psychic pressure.

But she didn’t move away. It was as if only by enduring that pressure could she truly believe that Gu Qiqi was alive.

Half a month.

She had only wanted to know whether Gu Qiqi was alive or dead.

And now that she stood here, seeing Gu Qiqi with her own eyes, not only alive but stronger than ever, she should have felt relief. She should have been able to walk away.

But she couldn’t.

Their families were mortal enemies. Getting closer would only deepen the hatred.

Feng Jiying held her chest, trying to calm the pressure that Gu Qiqi’s overwhelming presence had stirred in her.

Right after Gu Qiqi defeated Zhao Zhongtian, her terminal received an immediate message from the Federation.

Seeing that Feng Jiying hadn’t left yet, Gu Qiqi raised her brow slightly.

“I heard the Feng Corporation controls eighty percent of the economy. I wonder, Miss Feng, are you aware that your company once belonged to the Gu family? You’d better prepare to return it to its rightful owner.”

Her tone carried a faint mocking edge.

In Gu Qiqi’s memory, Feng Jiying had always been the coldest and most heartless omega, someone who never cared about the lives of others.

Feng Jiying instinctively grabbed Gu Qiqi’s wrist. She didn’t believe what Gu Qiqi said. She assumed Gu Qiqi was simply out for revenge. After all, Gu Qiqi had just said so many sharp words to Zhao Zhongtian.

She remembered that time when Gu Qiqi had begged her for help while being interrogated. She had ignored her. She hadn’t lifted a finger to help.

Gu Qiqi must hate her.

But when Feng Jiying finally spoke, all she said was, “Xiao Qi misses you.”

Gu Qiqi frowned slightly. She didn’t understand what that meant.

The system had erased all of her memories related to Feng Jiying, including the cat they had raised together, the little tricolor kitten named Xiao Qi.

She planned to ignore the remark and walk away, but Feng Jiying still held onto her wrist tightly, clearly refusing to let go.

Feng Jiying stared at her with narrowed eyes.

“I know you hate me. But I will never hand over the Feng Corporation. That company was built from my parents’ lifelong efforts. It is the most important thing to me. It means more than my own life.”

Gu Qiqi sneered.

“Then your life must not be worth much, clinging to something that never belonged to you. What are you trying to do, guilt-trip me?”

She shook off Feng Jiying’s grip and reached out, pinching her chin with cold fingers.

“Whether it’s the Feng family, the Liu family, or the Wen family, I won’t spare any of you. Everything you people owe the Gu family, I’ll take it back. Your Feng family took over a hundred lives from our bloodline in the Periphery. I’ll make sure every single one of those is repaid, starting with you.”

She was referring to the massacre of more than a hundred members of the Gu family’s extended branch, an order issued by the Feng family’s Grand Elder.

Feng Jiying’s expression gradually turned cold.

She thought Gu Qiqi was talking about the war between their families during the early days of the Federation’s unrest. A war in which both of her parents had died.

Gu Qiqi didn’t know it was the Feng family’s Grand Elder who had given that order.

And Feng Jiying didn’t know that the so-called truth she believed in was a carefully crafted lie.

Their misunderstanding had already taken root, silently growing deeper.

Feng Jiying’s voice dropped lower, her tone eerily calm.

“I told you before. If you ever betrayed me, I would create the strongest cage in the Feng family’s basement. A place no one could ever escape from. I would sever your psychic power, isolate you from the world, and keep you locked away in darkness forever. The only person you’d ever see would be me. You would beg me for mercy. You would plead for my affection. Gu Qiqi, do not test me.”

The wind blew through the ruins, carrying Feng Jiying’s icy voice into Gu Qiqi’s ears.

Gu Qiqi paused.

She searched her memory from start to finish, but there was no such moment. She had no recollection of those words.

In her previous life, she had barely arrived in Central City before being killed by three omegas. In this life, this was the first time she had ever met Feng Jiying.

“I don’t recall you ever saying anything like that,” Gu Qiqi said quietly.

Feng Jiying, her chin still gripped, smiled coldly.

“Trying to play the amnesia card? Fine. Whatever game you want to play, I’ll play it with you.”

Gu Qiqi blinked.

What kind of delusional overconfidence was this?

After Zhao Zhongtian was defeated, the Federation quickly dispatched troops to take him away.

Gu Qiqi had no interest in standing here arguing with someone like Feng Jiying. As long as they stayed out of each other’s way from now on, she had no desire to get involved.

“I’m not interested in you,” she said plainly. “The Federation President may have forced us into a compatibility program, but I never agreed to it. I hope you understand that clearly. I only want to take back what belongs to the Gu family. When a squatter stays in someone else’s home too long, they start to think it’s theirs. That’s pathetic.”

She had no intention of saying anything more.

But Feng Jiying frowned. She misunderstood Gu Qiqi’s indifference, thinking it was some kind of emotional retaliation.

“Are you seeing Liu Huaiqing now?” she asked suddenly.

Gu Qiqi let out a cold laugh.

“And what does that have to do with you?”

Feng Jiying broke free from her grip and raised her chin, still speaking in that haughty tone.

“I won’t allow it. You can’t be with her. Whatever happens between us should be settled between the two of us. No one else has the right to interfere.”
