Alice’s face changed instantly when she saw someone coming, revealing a pitiful look. This Omega girl really knew how to use her advantages to the fullest.
Ivan, on the other hand, remained unfazed, pulling Yang Huaijin behind him and keeping a watchful eye on Alice who was kneeling on the ground. He didn’t care who initiated the conflict; his task was to protect Yang Huaijin, and nothing else mattered.
With extensive combat experience, Ivan’s judgment was unquestionable to Yang Huaijin. He quickly went to the window to assess the situation and realized that it was too late to leave. A group of armed men was already entering the building they were in. In Ryan’s base, being able to infiltrate without causing a commotion either meant thorough preparation and strong power or the presence of an insider.
Checking on Feng Zhi’s condition, Ivan found it difficult to move someone with severe injuries and began urging Yang Huaijin to leave as soon as possible.
“It’s too late,” Yang Huaijin said. “Do you have a gun?”
Ivan strode to the window, took a glance outside, and muttered a curse under his breath. “No, they were confiscated when we arrived. We can’t wait here to die. Follow me!”
Yang Huaijin remained relatively calm but understood that they didn’t have many better options at the moment. Then, his gaze flickered towards the door, and he lightly tugged at the corner of his lips. “There’s a gun.”
Ivan paused for a moment, suddenly understanding what Yang Huaijin meant. He nodded. “Alright, wait for me!”
Alice didn’t understand the silent exchange between the two men. She only saw Ivan quietly approaching the door, gently turning the handle, and then stealthily slipping out. Was he leaving her behind? Then, she heard the sound of a scuffle outside the door.

Ivan took on two guards at the door and quickly snatched their guns.

Alice retreated into the corner, silent, her expression flickering with uncertainty.
At that moment, the lights in the entire building went out, and soon, footsteps echoed down the corridor.
Gunshots shattered the silence of the night—
Nearby and far away, there was chaos, with the sounds of fighting and gunfire. The manpower left by Ryan should have easily handled such a situation, but tonight, they were retreating one after another, completely unable to withstand the enemy’s attack.
Seeing that things were going south, Yang Huaijin rushed over and dragged Feng Zhi down from the bed, hiding them both behind the makeshift cover of cabinets and beds. Sure enough, their room was the target of the attackers.
Ivan hid behind the door, firing his gun, but the enemy’s firepower was strong. They broke through the glass of the ward door and unleashed indiscriminate gunfire. Ivan was hit in the arm by a stray bullet.
Yang Huaijin held onto the unconscious Feng Zhi tightly. The ward was in chaos, with the sounds of gunfire and Alice’s screams. Broken objects and dust filled the air. Ivan was injured but still stood in front of them, firing back at the enemy. Yang Huaijin could smell the scent of blood…
Yang Huaijin’s stomach began to ache, and he couldn’t distinguish whether it was real pain or psychological. They were forced into a corner.
The gunfire gradually ceased as the attackers entered to ‘clean up the battlefield.’ Ivan suppressed his breath, holding his gun with Yang Huaijin in the darkness, watching as the attackers approached. Then, the sound of gunfire resumed—
Amidst the chaos of cries, gunshots, and the sound of attackers falling, there were the disciplined footsteps of trained soldiers…
When everything returned to calm, the light in the room resumed, and a tall, stoic man stepped into the ward, stepping over bodies and bloodstains—Ryan Anelli.
Yang Huaijin’s tense nerves relaxed at that moment. His hand holding the gun dropped weakly as he clutched his abdomen, his face exhausted but holding onto the person in his arms even tighter.
Ryan approached, his gaze cold as he looked at Yang Huaijin holding Feng Zhi. After a moment, he withdrew his gaze and walked to the other side, dragging Alice out from the corner and delivering a harsh slap across her face.
Alice, still shaken, was first roughly dragged and then slapped across the face, feeling a fiery pain. She looked at Ryan in disbelief.
The tall man’s face remained as dark and stern as ever. “I hate betrayal the most.”
“No, I didn’t… it was their enemies! Ryan…” Alice hurried to explain, lying, but the pain of being doubted by her lover was painfully genuine in her eyes.
Her defense was cut short as Ryan reached out and grabbed her by the throat, lifting her up. Ryan coldly uttered a single word: ‘Bitch.’
Alice’s heart shook violently, but she couldn’t utter a word. Ryan’s grip on her throat was tight, and she desperately grasped at his fingers, which tightened little by little, trying to get more air, her eyes filled with sorrow and tears.
Ryan didn’t curse her with any other words, just stated this word in a matter-of-fact tone. She knew she was beyond redemption.
Alice had been targeting Yang Huaijin early on, ever since she found out that Yang Huaijin was the Omega that Ryan had been longing for for over a decade. She had initially wanted to quickly settle the matter, as losing an ‘acquaintance’ Omega wouldn’t affect Ryan much. Alice bribed one of Ryan’s trusted subordinates to poison him in the restaurant, but the plan was foiled and the person she bribed was executed on the spot by Ryan. From then on, Alice dared not act rashly again and could only rely on the help of others, such as secretly contacting Feng Zhi, administering aphrodisiacs to Yang Huaijin on the ship to push him into Feng Zhi’s hands, and acting as a ‘good person’ to help them leave.
She hesitated because of Ryan and didn’t dare to act rashly until recently when Ryan broke with the family elders, which made Alice completely anxious. She spared no expense to bribe the Russian mafia and intercept Yang Huaijin on the road. If one attempt failed, she would try again for the second time. The reason she appeared in the ward at this time was to intercept Yang Huaijin here to make it convenient for the hired killer she arranged to find him.
Alice is an Omega who relies on Ryan for survival, a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl. Why would she be able to sway Ryan’s loyal subordinates and make these people help her? The only bargaining chip she can offer is her young and beautiful Omega body. Ryan’s word ‘bitch’ represents that he has figured everything out.
Alice looked at Ryan, her eyes filled with sadness, and she struggled to say, “I’m not… a bitch… I’m your Omega, I’ve… always existed… for you…”
This statement surprised both Yang Huaijin and Ivan. Why did Alice say she was Ryan’s Omega? Yang Huaijin frowned, remembering that just a few months ago, Alice had innocently told him, “I’m sixteen, oh, I’ll be seventeen in two months…” However, “I’m your Omega” was not a definition one could casually throw around. Ryan introduced Alice as his sister, but from Alice’s attitude, Yang Huaijin had vaguely guessed their relationship, although he had always thought it was one-sided on Alice’s part. Now, it seemed that might not be the case.
Warm tears rolled down Alice’s cheeks, cooling as they fell, but when those tears touched Ryan’s hand, they seemed to ‘burn,’ causing Ryan to tremble imperceptibly. He looked at the girl in front of him, flashes of many scenes running through his mind, his fingers becoming difficult to tighten.
So Ryan marked her? And he stil wants YH?
