Alpha Predator

There are encounters in life that are truly unexpected.
For example, Shen Dai never imagined that one day, he would be invited into this house.
After all, he had once been thrown out like garbage.

In his childhood impression, it was a splendid “palace”.
It was so big, so bright, and came with a curved spiral staircase that didn’t care at all about wasting living space.
For the first time, he knew that the staircase could be placed inside the house.
He had stood in such a house.
Raising his head, he would be worried that the huge crystal chandelier might fall from the top of his head.
And lowering his head, he would be afraid of soiling the bright floor.

20 years later, he came here again.
It is still located in the quiet center of the land with astonishing prices.
However, the community has been here for quite some time, thus the style and design concept of this villa are outdated.
Its exterior wall has been refurbished and changed to the French-style stone that has been fashionable in recent years.
The flowers and plants are also meticulously taken care of in order to maintain their state.
But the dried-up fish pond, the stone steps, and flower beds in the courtyard all have mottled traces from the wind and rain.
Although it is still expensive and stylish at first glance, it already could no longer bear the weight of details.

Those rumors circulating on the Internet aren’t groundless and the depressing stock price cannot deceive people, the You family might really be finished.

He came here twice, both times involuntarily.
Today, he was half “invited” inside the car by the bodyguard.

Since he was so impressed with this house back then, his memories about his biological father are blurry.
But he was definitely not as old as he is now.
This man used to be a high-profile heir of a large business conglomerate, an Alpha with A-level pheromone.
He graduated from a prestigious school, was young and handsome, and married a well-matched wife.

Frustrations are melted into a person’s spirit and then engraved within the textures on the face, unable to be hidden.

Shen Dai stood in front of You Xinghai and silently seized him up in response to You Xinghai seizing him up.

You Xinghai had a sullen expression on his face.
As an alpha and with the dignity of the patriarch, Shen Dai’s calm gaze made him feel uncomfortable.
He was already prepared.
He imagined that Shen Dai would denounce him, tell him all his misfortunes, or at least express obvious hatred.
But the young man in front of him was too calm.

Not long after he was forced to make that decision, all of this child’s information appeared on the office desk – Shen Dai, 27 years old, omega male, single, Master in Materials Engineering at HKUST(1), working at Xingzhou Group’s Rare Earth-Elements Research Institute, family members includes his omega father and his grandmother.

1) HKUST: Hong Kong University of Science and Technology

The shy and fearful little boy twenty years ago has become a calm adult.
Thinking of his background and the demands he might make, You Xinghai couldn’t help but feel a little guilty.

Shen Dai looked around, found a chair, and sat down.
Then he took out his mobile phone and replied to a few work messages.

You Xinghai frowned and cleared his throat.

Shen Dai raised his head and said neither humbly nor arrogantly, “President You, what are you looking for from me?”

“…You have grown up.” You Xinghai had many experiences through thick and thin, he has been through the ups and downs of a business, but at this time, he can only use small-talk to ease the awkwardness.

Shen Dai wanted to laugh a little, “President You, if you don’t have something to beg from me, it’s impossible for you to take the initiative to come find me, just say it.” Usually, this kind of drama plot where a scumbag father actively seeks out an illegitimate child he avoided after many years, it’s because he doesn’t have any other offspring.
However, that’s not the case with the You family.
If something happened to the young master of the You family, it’s impossible for it to not get onto the news.

You Xinghai almost couldn’t hold his expression together, “Beg isn’t really necessary, I want to make a deal with you.”

“Say it.” The reason why Shen Dai got into the car was mainly out of curiosity.
In this society ruled by law and it’s not like they’re filming a movie, if he screamed out loud on the street, the bodyguards wouldn’t dare to do anything to him.
He came here simply because he wanted to know what You Xinghai wanted from him.
Maybe he could reap some thrill of getting revenge.

You Xinghai tapped on the folder in front of him, “You have a debt, seven million.
This isn’t a small amount.”

“Yeah, does President You want to help me pay it?” Shen Dai revealed a sarcastic smile.

“I can help you pay it.”

Shen Dai’s pupils shrank fiercely, “What do you mean?”

“My son originally had a very important engagement, but now he can’t fulfill it.
I need you to return to the You family register and get married for him.”

This sentence was too much like the plot of a drama, it was beyond absurdity and too nonsensical.
Shen Dai took five seconds to react, “Are you serious?”

“What’s my status? Why would I joke around with you.”

“Why can’t he get married?”

You Xinghai’s expression became hazy in an instant.
It seemed difficult for him to force out, “He was marked by someone else.”

Shen Dai became silent.
He did debate in his heart, marrying a stranger sounded shitty, but could it be worse than carrying a huge debt? His life and the years of his grandmother’s old age were oppressed by this debt to the point of no hope.
If he could climb out of the quagmire by paying some price, why not take a gamble.

Shen Dai took a deep breath, “Marriage, what are the requirements?”

“What the requirements are depends on your future husband.
Whatever he asks of you, you will do so.”

Shen Dai’s slender eyelashes trembled in fast motion.
It seemed that he didn’t have too much hesitation, he slowly raised his eyes and looked at You Xinghai, “I want ten million.”

You Xinghai narrowed his eyes, not surprised, but also obviously displeased.

If what You Xinghai said is the truth, then his increased price will definitely be accepted.
The so-called very important marriage contract must be related to the fate of the company and the rise and fall of the family.<
