“Welcome to my kingdom!”
Ryan opened his arms, displaying a disdainful smile to Yang Huaijin. Behind him, the heavy golden gates slowly swung open, revealing the luxurious entertainment complex of the cruise ship.
Under Yang Huaijin’s feet was an ultra-luxury cruise ship sailing in the open sea, with a waterline height of tens of meters and a cost of 1.3 billion euros. It boasted various entertainment facilities, including a casino, theater, ocean-view restaurants, and a golf course. It looked like an ordinary cruise ship traveling the world’s seas, but it was only open to a specific group of people. Known as the ‘Alpha Empire’ in the underworld, this cruise ship was appropriately named because only Alphas could become its esteemed guests, and all services were tailored to these ‘gender-privileged’ clients.
The Alpha Empire was the nickname for the cruise ship owned by the Anelli family in the dark world, and it was a fitting title. Only Alphas from various upper-class or middle-class backgrounds could board the ship and indulge in services and experiences unavailable in orderly society. Here, you could legally buy and sell slaves, watch various sensory-stimulating performances, or personally train your Omega. On board, all Alphas could ‘return to primitive instincts,’ compete for ‘prey,’ or even engage in some bloody games. As long as you possessed absolutely potent pheromones and had enough money to cover your actions, you were an absolute ’emperor.’ Everything was open to you, with no taboos.
There are fifteen such empire cruise ships in the world’s oceans, and the Anelli family, in these ships, is ‘rebuilding order’ in the money and power society of the dark world. They aim to return the scepter of authority to the elites, claiming that this is how the world should truly be.
Yang Huaijin’s heat typically came on in the late night and would quietly recede by dawn. It was excruciating when it hit, but after enduring it for so many years, he had managed to survive. The torment of this unrelieved heat in his twenties hadn’t killed him, and it wouldn’t do much to him now either, except without medication, his body’s functions would deteriorate more quickly.
The night he boarded, Yang Huaijin managed to endure his heat, and the next day, he cleaned himself up and went to find Ryan, expressing a desire to explore around. He needed to quickly grasp the situation around him, as surrendering was not his style.
Ryan seemed completely unguarded against him, happily leading Yang Huaijin to introduce his cruise ship. The two men conversed as if nothing had happened, as if they had both lost their memory overnight, completely forgetting the hostility between them just a day ago. The hypocrisy of mature men was evident; clearly, both of them were adept at putting on a show.

Ryan led Yang Huaijin to start the tour from the upper deck of the cruise ship, visiting the ocean-view suites, outdoor swimming pools, golf courses… Inside the cruise ship was a massive hollow garden, and they also had lunch together in the restaurant. This place looked no different from any other luxury cruise ship in the world, except for… the Omegas kneeling on the ground with chains around their necks. Alphas held their Omegas in their arms or stepped on them, playing with their ‘little pets.’ Some ‘pets’ were dressed, some were not, and most Alphas only had one ‘pet,’ but there were also some who had several. In broad daylight, these ‘gentlemen’ maintained a basic level of etiquette and didn’t do anything inappropriate, but Yang Huaijin knew they were definitely different behind closed doors.

The entertainment center was the largest indoor activity area on the cruise ship, where ‘programs’ challenging your perception were constantly being staged.
The Omegas were packaged, priced, and auctioned off, forced to perform some erotic displays to showcase their soft bodies, all of which were the ‘selling points’ to increase their value. All theater performances and movies were about the ‘correct world order.’ The entertainment center, including the entire cruise ship, continuously emphasized and brainwashed everyone—Alphas are noble, and Omegas are only tools for reproduction and release. These tools must strive for perfection to be worthy of selection by noble Alphas.
Yang Huaijin’s face was as dark as water, his fists unconsciously clenched. As an Omega, he felt extremely uncomfortable here. A inexplicable sense of familiarity always seemed to creep up on him, and as his gaze swept over certain scenes, his fear of danger grew stronger. Why? He was sure he had never been in contact with Ryan’s cruise ship before.
A silver-white chain hung from the cuff of Yang Huaijin’s right sleeve, one end tied to the dark red positioning bracelet on his wrist, the other end held by Ryan. When Ryan spoke to him, he was gentle and polite, and the interaction between them seemed like that of long-time friends or slightly distant lovers, if one ignored the slender silver chain proclaiming their subservient relationship.
Ryan shook the chain in his hand. “Noah, don’t worry, I won’t tie it around your neck,” his eyes were always affectionate, “Your significance to me is not just an Omega pet, and I don’t need you to kneel at my feet, at least not yet. You can sit with me, and I’m willing to respect your wishes.”
“Ryan, your understanding of respect is quite different from that of humans,” Yang Huaijin raised his wrist and shook the silver chain. This silver chain could easily be shaken off by him and didn’t have much effect on restricting his movement; its main purpose was to bring a sense of humiliation.
“Don’t challenge my tolerance limit,” Ryan sensed the insult in his words and, as he said this, raised his hand to slap Yang Huaijin’s face.
Smack! Ryan’s wrist collided with Yang Huaijin’s palm. Yang Huaijin quickly reacted, blocking Ryan’s hand mid-air and grasping it.
He knew there was a vast difference in strength between him and an Alpha, so he used both hands from the start, firmly gripping Ryan’s hand and arm. However, Ryan didn’t exert much force, so he was easily restrained.
Yang Huaijin glared at the man in front of him. “Don’t make things unpleasant.”
Ryan relaxed his body. “Noah, you really need some discipline.”
“I’m stubborn and unteachable, you won’t be able to teach me,” Yang Huaijin also let go of Ryan’s hand, “Why don’t you try throwing me into the sea to cleanse my soul and talk about it in the next life?”
Ryan snorted coldly, “You’d better remember my warning, in my factory, death is more painful than life.”
“Do you want to visit my factory?”
“Can I refuse?” Yang Huaijin smiled bitterly. He knew that the less guarded Ryan was towards him, the more it proved that he hadn’t thought of letting him leave this cruise ship alive.
“Don’t refuse, it’s yours too. I’ll share everything with my Omega.” Ryan held Yang Huaijin’s hand, caressing his fingers. “Noah, I know you’re very leadership material. I need excellent assistance, you can help me manage this cruise ship. When you belong to me completely, including your heart, everything of mine will be yours.”
Yang Huaijin lowered his eyes, his hand held in Ryan’s palm, the other’s fingers warm and hot, while the cold silver chain lay between their hands, making it uncomfortable.
He shook his head, “It’s impossible, Ryan. I don’t need anything of yours.”

He is so full of himself if he thinks that he is worth enough to be with A-jin
