When the Villainous Boss Acts as the Protagonist (Quick Transmigration) - Chapter 7

Inside the bright, clean hospital room, a gentle breeze caused the white gauze curtains to sway softly. It not only blocked the blinding sunlight from outside but also concealed the figures reflected on the glass, two individuals locked in a tight embrace.

Alex’s head remained buried in Chu Sicheng’s shoulder, his arms wrapped tightly around the other’s waist. From the surface, many Zerg might have mistaken this for a display of deep dependency.

However, feeling the waves of pain radiating from his collarbone, Chu Sicheng had no doubt that if not for the influence of the pheromones, Alex’s sharp canines would have already targeted his neck with lethal intent.

Unfortunately for Alex, the one thing that truly does not exist in this world is the outcome of a “what if.”

With his eyes lowered, Chu Sicheng looked at the two small whorls in the military female’s black hair. In a shimmer of his gaze, the fresh citrus scent was suddenly laced with a hint of cloying sweetness.

Alex had originally been succumbing to drowsiness under the catalysis of the pheromones. However, because he was unwilling to let the male control him, he had used all his strength to make Chu Sicheng feel a sting of pain. Now, he keenly sensed the change in the pheromones.

The hands that had initially pinned the male down to prevent his escape instinctively moved to Chu Sicheng’s shoulders. But before he could exert force to push the other away, a strange sensation from the deepest part of his body made his waist go soft. His fingers could not help but tighten their grip on the male’s clothes.

For some reason, Alex felt that Chu Sicheng’s pheromones had suddenly become aggressive.

If the previous citrus scent was like a quietly flowing river, where the current gently brushed against one’s mental lines, easing the pain of the riot while making it easy for a Zerg to fall into a deep sleep, then the current citrus pheromones had turned into a turbulent ocean. Before Alex could react, he was completely enveloped.

“You,”

“Do you like it?”

His head seemed to be lightly stroked, a casual and natural gesture as if smoothing the fur of a disobedient little pet at home.

Then, Alex heard Chu Sicheng speak: “After all, you bit me so hard. If I did not give you a little more, would it not make me seem rather ungenerous?”

“This,” Was this really just “giving a little more” pheromones?

He had clearly changed the very function and direction of the pheromones.

Current Zerg research on male pheromones indicated that they could not only soothe a female’s rioting mental power but could also, to an extent, be released during intimacy. This would catalyze the female’s desire, making the activity more enjoyable and harmonious for both parties.

Although Alex had never received a male’s pheromones before, it did not mean he was ignorant of their uses. Coupled with the heat he could clearly feel in his body right now, similar to heat, yet slightly different.

The vengefulness of this male was terrifyingly strong!

Alex’s fingers could not help but tighten again. “You, despicable!”

Chu Sicheng smiled. “Thank you for the compliment.”

“Are you not afraid I will refuse to deal with you like this?!” Alex gritted his teeth.

“Regarding that, you should think it through carefully.”

Chu Sicheng lightly patted Alex’s head, his long fingers sliding between the female’s hair. He skillfully helped alleviate the needle-like stinging pain in the female’s head. Then, just as the female began to feel comfortable and instinctively wanted to squint his eyes:

Five fingers suddenly closed. With a sharp tug, the female who had been buried in Chu Sicheng’s shoulder was forced to lift his head and lock eyes with him.

Within those emerald-like eyes, the male was smiling. Despite his soft and harmless appearance, at this moment, he was filled with an intense sense of oppression.

“Guess,” Chu Sicheng said, “between the two of us right now, who cannot leave whom more?”

“What is the matter?”

Chu Sicheng lowered his head to draw closer to Alex. Looking at the other’s pupils, which were shaking due to his words, he gave a light chuckle.

“Were you about to say that I only know how to use pheromones to threaten you? That without pheromones, I am nothing?”

Alex did not speak, but the tumbling emotions in his green eyes exposed his true thoughts. Or perhaps he had not exposed them voluntarily; rather, Chu Sicheng knew him too well, perhaps better than he knew himself.

Chu Sicheng’s finger lightly touched the wound on his collarbone. A bright red bead of blood instantly stained the male’s fingertip. Then, he held his finger up and presented it before Alex’s face.

The rich, seductive, and irresistible pheromones were like a black hole filled with desire, easily swallowing the military female whole.

“But what does that matter?”

The male’s red lips curled slightly. Those deer eyes, described countless times in the original text as gentle and pure, now appeared arrogant and unrestrained to the extreme.

“Methodology does not need to be diverse; it just needs to be effective.”

Besides, why should he assume a scenario where he lacked pheromones? He was alive today precisely because he had pheromones. Otherwise, he probably would have died on the day of his execution.

Chu Sicheng, who always had a high sense of self-worth, never liked to exhaust himself with internal conflict. Nor did he feel that using his advantages to achieve a goal was something that required self-reflection.

Without pheromones, he might indeed be nothing. But there was no helping it; he did have pheromones, and they were the most precious S-rank pheromones currently in the Zerg race.

Therefore, the person who does not know how to utilize their own advantages is the true fool.

Chu Sicheng lightly patted Alex’s cheek with the back of his hand, his gaze full of pity. “Poor child. You must have been turned silly by people telling you since childhood that without the name Saxon, you are nothing.”

Alex, who really had been raised with that education, was speechless.

“So, until you are completely free from the influence of my pheromones, have no doubt: I will continue to use this to make deals with you.”

Alex was silent for a moment. It was unclear if he was moved by Chu Sicheng’s words about self-worth or simply rendered speechless by the blatant rogue-like behavior. After a long while, he moved his lips and spoke in a hoarse voice: “Why must it be me?”

“Regarding that question,” Chu Sicheng tilted his head to think for a moment, as if stumped. “Perhaps it was just a coincidence.”

Coincidentally, Alex was the military female who carried out his execution. Coincidentally, he was the only other SS-rank in the Empire besides Friedrich. And even more coincidentally, he was exactly the “foil” villain in the original text who tried to compete with the protagonist-shou at every turn but never won once.

Chu Sicheng blinked. Under Alex’s unreadable gaze, he decided to phrase it more nicely: “But at the end of the day, it is because we are fated.”

Who wants to be fated with you.

Alex turned his face away expressionlessly. “Even if you say that, I will not make a deal with you.”

Although he was indeed at odds with Friedrich, it did not mean he would accept a male’s help to suppress his rival. It did not align with the values of a military female from the proud Saxon family.

One of the Saxon family mottos: Competition should always begin fairly and squarely.

He did not need help from any Zerg, especially not from a male who was hundreds of times more wicked than any male he had encountered before!

After saying this, Alex bit his lip and closed his eyes, preparing for the male’s renewed torment after becoming fly-blown with rage.

However, at that moment, what arrived before the male’s pheromones was the alert tone for an emergency on his light-brain.

Although Chu Sicheng was a rogue with no sense of morality, he was very polite. He immediately stood up and returned to his chair, leaving the space for Alex to connect his light-brain. A subordinate appeared on the virtual screen, immediately shouting “General” in a panic.

“What is it?” Alex asked with a frown.

“News has arrived from the front line. In this war against the alien beasts, our army has achieved an overwhelming victory.”

“Is that not a good thing?” Alex was puzzled. “Why are you acting so anxious?”

“Because,” The subordinate wiped the sweat from his forehead, his face full of resentment. “Because this victory was led by General Friedrich, who had been missing for several days.”

Alex was confused.

The subordinate continued: “Normally that would be fine. After all, everyone serves the Empire. Regardless of who leads the army to victory, it is something to celebrate. However, this time, upon achieving victory and returning to the Imperial Star to be decorated by His Majesty, General Friedrich no longer asked for the new weapons developed by the Research Institute.”

“Then what did he ask for?” Looking at the subordinate’s hesitating manner, Alex had a bad premonition.

Then, he heard the subordinate say: “He asked for the supervision rights of Mograth.”

“What?!” Alex sat up abruptly.

In the Zerg race, everyone knew that Mograth held the most vicious prisoners in the Empire. This was because they not only had cruel and terrifying methods but also had extremely violent temperaments that were difficult to suppress.

Previously, in the management of Mograth, almost no military female had volunteered for the mess. In the end, it was Alex, kidnapped by his female father’s ideology of “with great power comes great responsibility,” who had taken the initiative to oversee Mograth.

And now that he had finally managed it well, someone else wanted it?! Alex did not understand what Friedrich was up to.

But Chu Sicheng knew.

In the original text, the prisoners who could be locked in Mograth were all high-IQ criminals. Not only were they smart, but they were also highly skilled. Some, even under extremely harsh conditions, could manufacture the most advanced Zerg weapons.

Originally, the talents of these Zerg were meant to be discovered and utilized by the completely blackened villain in the mid-to-late stages of the plot to deal with the Empire. But now, Chu Sicheng, sitting to the side and boredly rubbing the wound on his collarbone, raised an eyebrow and clicked his tongue as Alex instinctively looked toward him.

It appeared that some military female had taken the first step and cooperated with a “wicked” male.
