Good heavens! The Supreme God is being relentlessly harassed!

Since that day, the prisoners at Alpha Prison have been living in misery.

The previous wardens were complete cowards; they'd never known the rules since they arrived. The federal prisoner code of conduct had long been forgotten.

Now look what happened. Xie Liuyan just came and threw a prison code of conduct at them. It has 108 articles. Does that mean prisoners don't have human rights?

The fact that they have to go for a morning run is enough to make most prisoners freak out. Who in a prison gets up so early to exercise?!

Even if it's a robot on duty, it'll be at seven o'clock, right?

As a result, the robots are now forced to work overtime. They get up at 6 a.m., and the robots are programmed to end their hibernation earlier, waking up even earlier than the robots.

Those who had reservations also gave up after Xie Liuyan's three battles that established his authority. Who would dare to provoke someone who even made Shen Wangchuan admit defeat?

Fortunately, Xie Liuyan didn't intend to make them suffer terribly. They still had two hours of exercise time after lunch every day.

At the very least, it should give people a chance to catch their breath, right?

Three days have passed since Shen Wangchuan lost to Xie Liuyan. At first, Wei Xingtong wanted to ask her boss directly for clarification.

Although winning or losing is harmful, with the boss's skills, getting a draw shouldn't be a problem.

Why didn't you choose to dodge at the last moment?

However, as soon as he left the arena, Shen Wangchuan turned around and walked away nonchalantly, seemingly unaffected by the outcome of the competition.

Wei Xingtong wanted to go over and ask a couple of questions, but she didn't have the chance.

For the past three days, he had been trying to subtly probe the topic, but the other party would remain silent whenever he brought it up.

He seemed rather stubborn and unyielding.

Wei Xingtong knew what his boss was thinking, so he didn't press him further. He would tell him when the other person wanted to.

When night fell, Shen Wangchuan closed his eyes.

The scenes from that day still flash before my eyes.

He wanted to test Xie Liuyan's skills. What the other party had told him before was indeed true. How could the marshal of the Federation not be skilled?

Although his own skill level is not bad, continuing to fight would not benefit either of them.

Xie Liuyan is the warden of Alpha Prison, managing more than 1000 prisoners in the vast prison.

If too much is consumed in the battle, even with robot police suppressing the situation, there is no guarantee that accidents won't happen.

Shen Wangchuan was no longer the impetuous young man he once was. After becoming the leader of the Dark Night Pirates, he was more inclined to weigh the pros and cons in everything he did.

If someone knows that doing something will not yield any good results or benefits, they will certainly not lead people into a dead end.

This principle applies at all times, so he chose the most advantageous path at the time.

By deliberately losing to Xie Liuyan, he could establish the other party's authority and ensure that the prisoners of Alpha Prison would eventually submit to him completely.

As for himself, he should protect himself, accumulate strength, and find an opportunity to escape from prison with his imprisoned subordinates.

Everything was perfect; he and the suddenly appearing warden were like two parallel lines.

Even if their paths cross, it's only for a fleeting moment, after which they will continue on their own life trajectories.

However, something unexpected happened, contrary to reason.

Shen Wangchuan could still recall the pleasant scent emanating from his opponent during the close-quarters combat—a subtle, woody fragrance that had settled over the years, lingering around Xie Liuyan.

He wasn't present when Xie Liuyan first released his pheromones to suppress the prison inmates.

The second time, although he vaguely sensed something, the crowd was too mixed, not to mention that the other party's release of pheromones was simply to suppress the other party.

There are no quirks that I want others to know about in detail.

During their fight, Xie Liuyan was able to smell his pheromones even though he wasn't intentionally releasing them, due to the exhaustion and sweat.

In the first thirty years of his life, Shen Wangchuan never thought he would be attracted to any kind of pheromones.

He is an alpha himself and occasionally fantasizes about whether his partner's pheromones will be sweet and delicious or plain and ordinary.

They just didn't expect that in that incident five years ago, the people from the Federation would use weapons that damage glands in order to capture them.

Moreover, it only targets strong and robust alphas. If too much is inhaled, the glands will deteriorate, and the damage will be almost irreversible.

After being arrested, Shen Wangchuan was sent to the hospital out of humanitarian considerations, but it was obvious that the hospital was helpless.

Since such unethical weapons have already been used, why bother with crocodile tears and feigned compassion?

Shen Wangchuan still remembers clearly what the doctors said during their conversation when they thought he was asleep:

"Sigh, he looks quite young, an S-class alpha. It'll be hard for him to find a partner in the future."

"Once those catalytic smoke bombs are inhaled, there is no way to treat them with the hospital's current technology."

"This can be considered an acquired genetic disease, and patients will have difficulty smelling other people's pheromones in the future."

"Besides these, there are also aftereffects. When encountering normal susceptible periods, they will be more difficult to control than ordinary alphas."

The conversation ended there. Later, Shen Wangchuan woke up in his prison bed and the first thing he saw was Wei Xingtong with red eyes.

Wei Xingtong is a beta, so she doesn't react much to the catalytic smoke bomb.

The other alphas who were captured together did not directly face the attack of the catalytic smoke bomb, and the damage they suffered was relatively small.

He remembered that when he woke up, Wei Xingtong almost burst into tears in his arms, while he remained calm and composed.

However, now, an exception has occurred to the disease that doctors diagnosed as incurable, which is the real reason why Shen Wangchuan did not manage to avoid it in time.

Why could he smell Xie Liuyan's scent? And was that woody fragrance actually Xie Liuyan's pheromones?

Thinking about this, he suddenly felt a little irritated.

Those smiling, peach-blossom eyes flashed into his mind again, and for the first time, he couldn't sleep.

Too many worries make it hard to sleep soundly.

Shen Wangchuan simply turned over. As the top-level prisoners most valued by the Federation, he and Wei Xingtong were imprisoned in separate cells.

However, their treatment was much better than that of ordinary prisoners, with a comfortable bed, private bathroom, and a small but fully equipped cell.

The Federation naturally had its own reasons for doing this; how could it not get some benefits from them?

For example, there have been rumors that the Dark Night Pirates discovered a treasure buried by the Emperor of the Empire before the Federation was established, which is why they were targeted by the Federation.

Shen Wangchuan sneered and decisively opened the door using iris recognition.

At this moment, Alpha Prison fell into a deep sleep, all was quiet, except for the lights in the corridor.

Shen Wangchuan initially walked aimlessly until he realized that he had reached the corner where he had met Xie Liuyan before, and that Xie Liuyan's office was just a little further ahead.

When he realized this, he quickened his pace and prepared to turn back.

But to my surprise, someone was already waiting at the end of the original path.

The starlight from the dome shone on the man. He wasn't wearing the warden's uniform, just a simple white shirt with the sleeves rolled up.

Leaning against the railing, he looked carefree and unconventional.

A crimson glow burned at his fingertips, and wisps of smoke drifted into the air from around him.

Seeing him standing there in a daze, Xie Liuyan deftly stubbed out his cigarette, a smile already playing on his lips that was all too familiar to Shen Wangchuan.

"Since you're here, why don't you come over and have a chat? Am I some kind of terrifying monster?"
