Innate Criminal Alpha [Rebirth]

Long after the declaration fell, the lingering sound still echoed in the small space.

Atres has said many similar words, but unlike before, his speeches in the past always carried the blindness and frivolity of a teenager, but this time, they were more heavy and weighty.

It was like putting everything in my body under it. When it hit Xia Lin's heart, it sounded like a drum beating.

Xia Lin stretched out her hand to play with the other party's golden hair that fell on her chest, and her dark eyes flashed with unclear emotions, "Are you talking so much just to tie me up with you?"

Atres' eyes were full of persistence, "I don't have any leverage, only myself, and the future promised to you, it depends on whether you want it or not."

Xia Lin looked at him quietly, and when the other person's heart stopped beating due to nervousness, she smiled slightly and said, "Okay."

Atres was relieved, and the two separated a little. He looked at Xia Lin and said, "Actually, I intend to say goodbye to you temporarily today."

Xia Lin looked up at him.

"It will take me some time to go back and rectify my power. When I see you again, I will become worthy of your expectations." Atres said very forcefully, looking extraordinarily solemn and serious.

"Can you keep yourself safe?"

"The intruders in Glory City have been wiped out. In the Empire Star, their people will not act rashly. I still have night owl guards by my side, so don't worry."

"Then take care of yourself and don't be brave." Xia Lin patted Atres on the shoulder. He didn't stop him, and there was no need to stop him. This is probably another level of trust.

Atreus stared at him, hesitating to speak.

"what happened?"

"I'm leaving, don't you say anything..."

"What do you want to express?" Xia Lin leaned against the wall and looked at him meaningfully.

Atres didn't answer, just supported the wall with his hands, lowered his body and approached slowly until his lips touched.

In fact, it is not the first time, but this time the meaning is different, so the heart beats very fast.

The bodies leaned together, Xia Lin's eyes became darker, and he pressed Atres's back neck, while the other hand slid down from his back, supporting the other's waist.

"you……"

When Atres realized what Xia Lin's next action meant, he lost his mind for a moment. His body instinctively wanted to resist, but he suppressed it.

"I was careless last time, now I will teach you well." Xia Lin bit his neck and said in a low voice.

Conquering and fighting are Alpha's nature. In Xia Lin's dictionary, there is no such word as surrender, even when facing the emperor who has promised the future for himself.

Atreus fixed his golden eyes on him, acquiescing to his actions.

When the body went in from the bottom up, Xia Lin noticed that there was a silver-white chain around Atreus' neck, and at the end of the chain was a pendant of the Southern Cross.

He lowered his head to pick up the chain, and sucked it in his mouth, causing the other party's throat to tremble.

……

After taking a shower, Atreus half-lyed on the bed, looked at the ceiling, and suddenly said, "Today is my birthday."

Atres' birthday... isn't that the anniversary of the bloody night incident?Xia Lin was stunned for a while.

The mood was suddenly a little low, but in the blink of an eye, he threw away his complicated thoughts. The past was irreversible. Although he was guilty, he didn't regret it. It was time to learn to look forward.

"Happy birthday," he said softly.

"I couldn't prepare a gift for you in advance, so I'll give you this." Xia Lin took out a short blade from his body and handed it to Atreus.

"This is the dagger you carry with you?" Atres held the short blade, turned it over, and stroked the word "Xia" with his fingers.

"Well, this is my adoptive father's relic." Xia Lin's voice could not detect any emotion.

"Your adoptive father... the former defender of the empire?"

"That's right." The first time I talked about my adoptive father with another person, it felt a bit strange, like taking out a secret box that was buried deep in the garden in my childhood and sharing it with others.

Atreus looked at the short blade, "The file says that his partner was suspected of collaborating with the enemy, and in the end he killed his partner himself in order to prove his loyalty to the empire."

Xia Lin took a deep breath and walked towards the wardrobe beside the bed, "I don't care about his past, I only know that he betrayed his relatives, lost everything, died of illness in a corner of the Empire Star, and no one cares about him."

"He gave me this short blade before he died. This weapon has been with me for many years, and it is about to become a part of my body. Here it is for you now, and you remember to keep it carefully. If it is lost, I will find you to settle the score. "Having said this, Xia Lin's tone was threatening.

Atres accepted it cherishingly, then tore off the chain around his neck and handed it to Xia Lin.

"exchange."

Xia Lin took the chain, and the thin silver-white chain slid down from her fingertips like mercury, bringing a sense of coolness, while the Southern Cross pendant left in her palm still carried the body temperature of another person.

The Southern Cross is the birthplace of the ancestors of the royal family. In the center of the cross is the head of a lion representing the royal family, surrounded by roses and thorns.

Atreus stroked the pendant, "This is the amulet of the royal family. This amulet can resist a fatal crisis. Unfortunately, only the blood of royal family members can inspire it."

"So this is a prop for you to save your life?" Xia Lin frowned, "You should take it back, it's useless for me to wear this, what if you are in danger?"

"No, I said that I will not be in danger for the time being." Atres let go of his hand, "My name is engraved on the amulet, which is said to be engraved by my mother herself, and it has been with me since I was born. It may not be as precious as your short blade, but it's the only meaningful thing in me."

Xia Lin turned over the pendant, and there was a line of name engraved on the back, and he read aloud, "Atres? Your name is really Atres."

"This is the name given by my mother before her death, but it was not adopted by the royal family." Atres stared at Xia Lin. "Only the closest people can call me by the name Atres."

Xia Lin held the pendant tightly and smiled softly, "Then I'm very honored."

He put on the chain, and the silver chain outlined a graceful curve along his neck, and the Southern Cross hung slightly below his collarbone, which matched it perfectly.

"I'm leaving." Atres said as he watched him put on the chain.

"So fast?"

"I'm afraid that if I stay any longer, I won't want to leave."

"Then goodbye." Xia Lin smiled slightly and made a gesture on his chest. This is the etiquette for soldiers in the army when they say goodbye.

"Wait for me to come back." Atres put on his clothes, walked to the door, and finally said.

When the door of the dormitory was closed, Xia Lin stood in front of the window, looking downstairs.Three shadows appeared under the street lamp, bowed in front of Atreus, and then the four of them left together into the night.

It wasn't until their figures were engulfed by the night that Xia Lin sat back on the bed in the dormitory, leaning on the pillow that was still warm, and fell into thinking.

Is it as simple as the peace council behind Yixiut?

For some reason, he always felt a little uneasy.

His death was really just to destroy the emperor's layout?And to what extent have those people colluded with Glory City?

No one can give him an answer for the time being.

He played with the silver and cold pendant, put it on his lips and kissed it, but the road to the answer has already been paved, and everything will be answered if you walk along it.

The author has something to say: as I write, I feel that Xia Lin is inexplicably scumbag? Σ°△°|||︴No, this must be an illusion!

Why was an innocent boy deceived by an uncle pretending to be tender? Is it a distortion of human nature or a loss of morality?
