Rumor Has It, That Omega Rocked the Stage Again! - Chapter 25

The adjutant’s efficiency was high, and thanks to the principal’s cooperation, obtaining the student records was effortless.

Mu Li’s personal potential and Ji Yu’s background made the principal relent easily. After all, he had to consider the future of the military academy. It was better to do them a favor—even if he didn’t help, Ji Yu would have found another way with her capabilities.

Sitting in her study, Ji Yu looked through the transmitted documents, and a long-dormant fury surged within her relentlessly.

The ones who had plotted against Mu Li were the same spoiled brats she had encountered in the principal’s office earlier. She hadn’t eradicated them completely, leaving behind such a disaster.

They dared to use Omega pheromone inducers on campus—what wouldn’t they dare to do? These delinquents had been running amok for too long, truly believing she wouldn’t lay a hand on them.

This time, it was inducing a heat. Next time, would it be murder?

Ji Yu scanned the photos on each document, her gaze finally settling on one—the Alpha who had sprayed the inducer on Mu Li. Picking up her communicator, she called her adjutant: “Be at the Ji residence within half an hour. We’re going to the Wang family.”

“Yes, Marshal.”

The adjutant knew immediately it was about the records. The Wang family—wasn’t that the most prominent name among them? A lineage of merchants, barely qualifying as a financial powerhouse on Capital Star. The adjutant quickly gathered a few capable subordinates, ordering those on leave at home to change into uniforms and assemble at once.

According to insiders, that night, the Wang family’s gates were surrounded by over a dozen military spaceships. The Wangs hurried out, including the family head.

Soon after, a grand procession emerged from the spaceships—uniformed, disciplined. Leading them was a tall Female Alpha.

The usually arrogant Wang family head respectfully ushered them inside. Not long after, the Wang family’s bodyguards rushed in, followed by the sounds of a scuffle. But the noise didn’t last long before the uniformed group strode out and left the Wang residence.

The Wang household was left in shambles.

Rumors spread that the Wangs had offended some powerful figure, though no one could say for sure. After all, the military department was not to be trifled with.

Yet, this was far from over.

The Wang family’s collaborations began to crumble, their market value plummeting. The families allied with them, though untouched by military visits, suffered similar blows.

A week later, uninvited guests arrived at the Ji residence.

It was the same group of delinquents and their mothers, only the venue had changed. Over the past few days, they had pieced together some clues. The heirs of their families were all good-for-nothings, troublemakers together. Likewise, these mothers had all threatened the principal at the First Military Academy.

But they had already apologized. Could one of those five students truly have a powerful background? If so, why had they all looked so grim before Ji Yu arrived?

No—after Ji Yu appeared, those students had gained an ally. So Ji Yu was connected to one of them!

The families exchanged information. Under parental pressure and the devastation of their households, the delinquents finally confessed what had happened days before.

If it were an ordinary Omega, even if they had been marked, the matter could have been settled with money. But Mu Li had escaped, and the perpetrators soon faced retaliation.

The parents couldn’t help slapping their own children—what were they to do now? This time, they had offended the Ji family!

Several families gathered in a crowd outside the Ji residence. Without an invitation, they couldn’t enter, nor dared they make a scene. All they could do was wait anxiously.

“Mom, what if the Ji family never opens the door?”

“We’ll have to keep waiting. If we can’t get in, no matter how hard your father works in the future, no one will want to cooperate with us.”

“Dad, do we really have to stand here under the sun? Look, my face is already sunburned.” The spoiled Alpha, after enduring the scorching heat for over an hour, was barely holding up.

“Would you rather be homeless than stand in the sun?”

The Alpha pouted and muttered, “It’s not that serious.”

But even after waiting from morning till night, the gates of the Ji residence remained shut. Out of courtesy, the Ji family’s steward came out a few times to inform them that the Marshal was not home and asked them to leave.

That evening, the First Military Academy issued a notice expelling several delinquents for violating school regulations by using stimulant drugs on campus and harming fellow students.

Students expelled from the First Military Academy could only enroll in watered-down institutions that accepted anyone with money or be sent to remote planets. Either option felt like a fall from heaven into hell.

The Ji family’s gates never opened for them, making it clear that the matter was non-negotiable. After the businesses of these families declined to a certain point, the initial pressure and retaliation seemed to vanish.

Ji Yu understood the principle of not pushing people to desperation—doing so might backfire, leading to reckless retaliation.

Falling from first-rate to third-rate, with no lucrative partnerships coming their way due to the Ji family’s influence, was punishment enough. As long as Ji Yu remained Marshal, she could shield Mu Li from overt attacks.

After handling these matters, Ji Yu returned to the Mecha Club.

Ailina, holding her personal terminal with a webpage still open, rushed over and stood before Ji Yu. “Instructor, I take back all my past misunderstandings about you. You’re still my idol, my eternal goddess!”

Chen Xiyuan, hearing this, facepalmed, unwilling to acknowledge that this was his teammate—how could she switch sides so quickly? “Tone it down. If the instructor’s your goddess, are you trying to compete with Mu Li?”

Ailina exploded at his words. “Watch your language! I don’t do Alpha-Alpha relationships!” She then nervously glanced at Mu Li. “Mu Li, it’s just admiration—for the strong, you get me?”

Mu Li seemed confused, tilting her head slightly as she looked at Ji Yu in puzzlement.

Seeing Mu Li’s adorable head tilt, Ji Yu felt her heart melt again today—Mumu was just too cute!

What past misunderstandings? Whether or not she was Ailina’s goddess didn’t matter anymore. The important thing was that such an adorable Mumu was hers!

Ji Yu waved it off. “It’s fine, it’s fine.”

Seeing that Ji Yu didn’t mind, Ailina continued excitedly: “Instructor, instructor! I saw the news about those scumbags getting expelled—it’s so satisfying! Is this what they called ‘a man’s wrath for his beloved’ in Ancient Earth times?”

Ji Yu’s father was of Chinese descent while her mother was European, giving her features that perfectly blended the best of both. However, having been raised primarily as an Alpha and closer to her father, Ji Yu wasn’t very familiar with Ancient Earth’s Eastern classical culture.

Ji Yu asked curiously, “What does ‘a man’s wrath for his beloved’ mean?”

“I’ve heard there are other historical references too—like ‘racing through dust to make a beauty smile,’ ‘a single rider bringing lychees for his consort’s delight,’ and even ‘beacon fires fooling the nobles.’ You could try those, Instructor,” Ailina suggested.

Mu Li, being a transmigrator, was thoroughly versed in such classical references. To prevent Ailina from misusing them further, she interjected, “It means taking revenge or doing crazy things for someone you love.”

Ji Yu nodded. “Mumu, you’re so knowledgeable. Then what about ‘beacon fires fooling the nobles’? That sounds quite interesting,” she asked.

Mu Li’s fears were realized as Ji Yu’s curiosity about ancient culture grew. Disregarding etiquette, she cut in, “‘Beacon fires fooling the nobles’ is about an emperor who, for the sake of his beloved consort, neglected military warnings and doomed his entire kingdom. What, are you thinking of trying that during the Zerg war?”

Ji Yu quickly shook her head. “No, no, I wouldn’t.”

Sensing the awkward atmosphere, Bai Jingli spoke up, “How about we start training instead? Instructor, you haven’t seen us in days—want to check if we’ve improved?”

Ji Yu flexed her wrist. “Sure, let’s see if you’ve become more durable these past few days.”

Ailina muttered under her breath, “Another day of being beaten to the ground by my idol. For fangirling, I sure suffer a lot.”
