Reborn as a Scummy Alpha, I Became Every Heroine's Obsession - Chapter 54

The elder howled in agony, his arm hanging limply by his side.

Gu Qiqi unleashed her psychic energy, directing a powerful alpha-level mental assault at the elder, sending him flying until he crashed heavily against the floor-to-ceiling window.

Feng Jiying clutched her throat, gasping for air as her legs gave way, collapsing onto the floor.

Once she regained her senses, the first thing Feng Jiying did was stagger toward the desk and carefully gather the injured Xiao Qi into her arms.

Xiao Qi let out weak, pitiful mews.

Its hind leg was broken.

Trembling with fear, the tiny creature buried its head in Feng Jiying’s palm.

Feng Jiying’s heart ached unbearably. Gritting her teeth, she cradled Xiao Qi protectively against her chest.

Her neck bore deep, dark purple ligature marks.

She tried to speak, but only a hoarse whisper escaped her vocal cords had been damaged.

That damned old bastard had used psychic energy to destroy her voice.

The elder coughed up blood, clutching his chest as he knelt on the ground. His eyes burned with hatred as he glared at Gu Qiqi standing before him.

“I underestimated you,” he spat. “I slaughtered over a hundred members of the Gu family but forgot to finish you off. I never imagined the Gu family’s strength lay in this kind of power. The Federation President will never let you go. Oh, and I almost forgot you have a sister in the borderlands, don’t you? I’ve taken her somewhere no one else knows. The entire mountain is rigged with explosives. If I die, she’ll be blown to dust. I don’t know who you’ve allied with, but your partner doesn’t seem very reliable. I’m just the Feng family’s elder. Everything I’ve done was under the orders of the Feng Corporation’s CEO.”

Gu Qiqi struck him again with another devastating mental blow. An invisible force yanked the elder’s body upward as a section of the floor-to-ceiling window slid open, leaving him dangling outside the 46th floor.

The usually carefree glint in Gu Qiqi’s wolf-like eyes was now filled with ruthless determination.

“You’d better start telling the truth,” she warned coldly. “Otherwise, if my hand slips, you’ll ‘commit suicide out of guilt.’ You know the Gu family’s secret, don’t you? We share a psychic link. As long as I’m alive, even if my sister is blown to pieces, I can pour all my strength into reviving her. But you? After scheming your whole life, are you really willing to become the laughingstock of the entire galaxy?”

The crushing weight of her psychic energy forced the elder to cough up more blood.

But the older the ginger, the spicier it gets.

The elder smirked cunningly. “I know far more than you think.”

“He’s trying to bite his tongue!” Gu Qingyun lunged forward, using Gu Qiqi’s psychic energy as a springboard to grab the elder and dislocate his jaw before he could succeed.

Gu Qingyun hauled the elder away.

The unconscious Xiao Bai was also taken down for medical treatment.

In an instant, the vast CEO’s office was empty except for Gu Qiqi and Feng Jiying, who still sat slumped beside the desk.

Gu Qiqi felt an overwhelming sense of release.

Her alpha pheromone level was too high to be affected by lower-grade omega pheromones.

But marking an omega truly gave an alpha a profound sense of physical and mental liberation.

It was as if all the pent-up energy had finally found its perfect outlet, a seamless, mutual fit.

Gu Qiqi strode across the smooth white floor tiles in her leather boots, each step radiating an overwhelming sense of authority.

Her gaze fell upon Feng Jiying, who was clutching a kitten protectively to her chest.

She recalled how Feng Jiying’s first conscious act had been to gather the kitten into her arms.

Never would she have imagined such a scene from the cold-blooded Feng Jiying, who treated human lives as worthless weeds.

Feng Jiying had no strength left.

Her limbs felt alien after four hours of walking without water, further crushed by an alpha’s psychic suppression. Only sheer defiance kept her upright.

Ever since presenting as an omega, societal prejudice had crashed over her like tidal waves.

So Feng Jiying had vowed to surpass any alpha, pouring her soul into managing the Feng conglomerate. Yet now, Gu Qiqi had effortlessly destroyed it all.

Once, Gu Qiqi had been her plaything. Now the tables had turned completely.

Feng Jiying instinctively clutched her throat, managing only a hoarse croak.

Xiao Qi caught a familiar scent and peeked from Feng Jiying’s arms, mewling plaintively at Gu Qiqi.

As Gu Qiqi approached, the kitten mustered its last strength to leap into her arms, its fractured hind leg dangling uselessly.

The fluffy creature nuzzled Gu Qiqi’s palm with its tiny tongue, damp eyes blinking tearfully as if wordlessly pleading its case. “Mew… mew…”

Something twisted unexpectedly in Gu Qiqi’s chest.

An unfamiliar pang of tenderness.

Strange, she’d never met this cat, yet it acted so familiarly toward her.

Already, Gu Qiqi was releasing her psychic energy, gently suspending Xiao Qi midair.

The Gu family’s empathic abilities stemmed from their bloodline’s unique healing psychic power.

With a soft click, the kitten’s broken leg realigned.

Xiao Qi landed softly, testing its miraculously healed limb before erupting into excited meows. It scrambled up Gu Qiqi’s pants leg, finally perching on her shoulder to affectionately nuzzle her cheek.

Only then did some tension leave Feng Jiying’s wary expression.

But Gu Qiqi had already fully claimed her. The alpha’s pheromones would now spread relentlessly through her system.

From this day forward, Feng Jiying’s gaze would involuntarily follow Gu Qiqi, her heart beating solely for this woman. She would lose herself completely, existing only for Gu Qiqi.

Cradling Xiao Qi’s bottom with one hand, Gu Qiqi slowly crouched to Feng Jiying’s eye level. With her free hand, she lifted Feng Jiying’s chin, lips curling into a cold smirk.

“I never imagined President Feng could be so ruthless. After arriving at Central City, I never got in your way or provoked you in the slightest. Yet you mercilessly slaughtered my entire clan, and now you’re setting your sights on my sister. Oh, I suppose I shouldn’t call you President Feng anymore just your full name, Feng… Ji… Ying… How does it feel to have your throat gripped like this? The Federal President demanded I mark an omega, and I’ve fully claimed you. Don’t worry, I’ll keep you by my side so you can watch everything you poured your heart into the Feng Corporation crumble before my eyes. What rightfully belonged to the Gu family will slowly be restored, erasing every trace you left behind.”

Liar!

Feng Jiying grabbed Gu Qiyi’s wrist, her almond-shaped eyes widening. Without her metal-framed glasses, all her hidden emotions were laid bare before Gu Qiyi.

She tried to speak, to refute, but no sound came out. Instead, she bit down hard on the fleshy part of Gu Qiyi’s hand, channeling all her fury into the act.

But Gu Qiyi, protected by her alpha mental barrier, remained untouched Feng Jiying couldn’t even break her skin.

Liar! It was the Gu family who ruined the Feng Corporation. It was her grandfather who killed her parents.

Gu Qiyi thought she could steal everything from her with such a despicable excuse? She wouldn’t allow it!

Feng Jiying staggered to her feet, defiance burning in her bloodshot eyes.

Her slender fingers gripped the edge of the desk, veins bulging beneath her pale skin.

[System: Host, the career path is more important. Don’t waste energy on an omega.]

Gu Qiyi sneered inwardly. As if she’d spare a thought for the omega who once tried to kill her.

Feng Jiying clenched her jaw.

Even in ruin, even with the bruises of a chokehold still darkening her neck, her pride kept her head held high.

Gu Qiyi: “I’m not completely heartless. If Miss Feng doesn’t want to watch her family’s empire corrode away bit by bit, she’ll have to fight with everything she has to stabilize it. I’ll make her my secretary.”

The usually pristine office was now in disarray.

Gu Qiyi casually took a seat in Feng Jiying’s custom-made chair, crossing her long legs. “Secretary Feng, fetch me a coffee.”

Feng Jiying watched as Xiao Qi, once loyal now curled affectionately in Gu Qiyi’s lap, purring and nuzzling.

Biting her lip, she swallowed her resentment and turned to leave, heading to the break room.

But half the company’s employees had gathered on the floor, watching.

Soon, everyone knew Feng Jiying was making coffee for Gu Qiyi.

Her face burned with humiliation.

Gu Qiyi tilted her chin up.

This was nothing compared to the agony of near-death Feng Jiying had yet to experience.

Feng Jiying’s suppressed rage made her glands throb with heat again.

An omega in heat was highly sensitive emotional turmoil directly affected her body.

Her scent suppressant patch was failing, barely containing the pheromones surging wildly beneath.

Gu Qiyi lounged back, waiting for Feng Jiying to serve her, eyes closed in satisfaction.

Then the rich aroma of coffee filled the air.

Feng Jiying’s hand trembled slightly as she placed the coffee cup on the table. With a resolute expression, she moved closer to Gu Qiqi.

Her lips uncontrollably met Gu Qiqi’s, revealing the fawning desperation buried deep within her bones.

She twisted her body, pleading for Gu Qiqi’s affection, exposing the side of herself she despised the most, the most painful part.

A single cold tear fell onto Gu Qiqi’s face.

But Gu Qiqi raised a hand to block it.

Those wolf-like eyes held not a trace of desire, only absolute clarity.

“Miss Feng, please restrain yourself. I don’t appreciate such casual contact.”

Even though Gu Qiqi had marked Feng Jiying, she had no intention of humiliating her like this.

The grievances between them were straightforward, one matter didn’t affect the other.

Feng Jiying bit her lower lip, but even that couldn’t suppress the wild pounding of her heart.

It had to be because of Gu Qiqi’s complete mark affecting her not own true emotions.
