Chapter 314: Conquering another alpha

The professor nodded. "Let’s take a walk." Xiang Yu followed him out, signalling for the twins to follow behind.

The professor suddenly put on a thoughtful expression and said, "Your Highness. I must admit, I was impressed by your knowledge today. You’ve shown a depth of understanding that I didn’t expect."

Xiang Yu smiled slightly. "Thank you, Professor. I have been studying hard." His smile didn’t quite reach his eyes. That’s because he could smell this professor’s hypocrisy from a mile away but he still put on a smile.

Lian and Mei trailed at a respectful distance, but as their master walked ahead with the professor, noises from the next lecture hall drew their attention. They stopped following and turned toward the lecture hall.

From the gaps in the door, they could see Han Xin surrounded by three alphas blocking his path. The leader among them was mocking Han Xin. This leader was from the noble house of Aungier, a family whose power and influence were nothing to scoff at.

Like some of the noble families, they believed that Imperial Lord Xiang and his lineage were undeserving of the throne, especially considering the Imperial Lord’s origins.

The noble families believed that since Imperial Lord Han died without an heir, one of the noble families should have taken the throne. However, Xiang Wen had the imperial seal embedded in his heart, given to him by Imperial Lord Han on his deathbed.

Since it couldn’t be taken by force, it must have meant that Imperial Lord Han had truly chosen Xiang Wen as his successor. This was one of the reasons the noble families hadn’t rebelled, but the more bad decisions the Imperial Lord made, the greater their desire to rain chaos upon the imperial capital.

To vent their rage, someone like Aungier Fang couldn’t directly express his dissatisfaction with Imperial Lord Xiang, so he targeted Xiang Yu. But since Xiang Yu could potentially become the future Imperial Lord and was known to hold grudges, Fang chose the next best target the person who followed Xiang Yu like a lapdog Han Xin.

Fang Aungier sneered and said in a mocking tone, "Did you quarrel with your boyfriend?" One of Fang Aungier’s underlings chimed in, "Aww, did you two break up?" The entire time, Han Xin maintained an air of indifference, as if this had nothing to do with him.

Fang Aungier wasn’t deterred by Han Xin’s indifference. He pressed his palm against the wall, effectively wall-slamming Han Xin. With a disgusting look in his eyes, Fang Aungier asked, "Tell me, since you two are in that kind of relationship, who bites who, huh?"

Another underlings laughed obscenely. "I heard that an alpha and alpha relationship is unlike anything in this world," he said. "Like forbidden sweet nectar," added another. The third underling chimed in, "The feeling of conquering another alpha is so addictive that one can’t kick the habit."
