AGMATSWHLMAR Chapter 50

Auston stared at him intently, his eyes gloomy and terrifying.

But Ruan Tang, seeing him like this, wasn’t afraid at all. He even laughed out loud in a relaxed manner, “Sir, are you worried about me?”

In his eyes, this Alpha was still as adorably awkward as ever, even his way of expressing concern was so roundabout that it could easily be misinterpreted.

“Worried about you? My foot!” Auston instantly reacted like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, his fur standing on end, becoming even more exasperated, “I’m angry that you acted on your own without listening. Can’t you see that?”

He felt that there was a hole in this Omega’s brain.

No matter how harshly he spoke, how fiercely he glared, or how frantically angry he became, the Omega could always extract kindness from it.

He was just unbelievably sick.

Ruan Tang, however, was already used to his awkward behavior. He smiled and didn’t continue the topic. After a long while, he finally spoke, “How does Sir know that if I negotiate with the Empress and borrow her power, it will necessarily be her using me, and not me using her?”

The Empress’s plan was to obtain the Imperial Heir, eliminate the Emperor, crown herself as Empress, and possess the power of the entire Osfia Empire.

In her eyes, whether it was the Emperor or Auston, this extra son, anyone who blocked her path deserved to die…

But what Ruan Tang wanted to do was to borrow her power to strengthen himself, help Auston and himself escape this predicament of surviving in the cracks, and support each other as they walked forward.

These were two completely opposite paths.

But Ruan Tang wanted to take advantage of the Empress’s contempt for him, seize the opportunity, and develop stealthily…

“Use her? With just you, it’s like an ant trying to shake a tree, hitting a stone with an egg?” Auston scoffed immediately upon hearing this, “You won’t even know how you died.”

Ruan Tang was speechless, “…”

He originally wanted to have a good talk with Auston, but Auston reacted like this.

“As long as you use the power of a large tree to build a nest, slowly hollowing out the heart of the tree until the towering tree collapses is not impossible…” Ruan Tang could only keep advising himself not to argue with someone whose mind wasn’t clear, and tried to calm himself down, “Even if I die, I want to die clearly after fighting with all my might, rather than being a muddled ghost…”

Ruan Tang frowned slightly, “If I’m lucky enough to succeed, and the Empress, who originally wanted to use me, ends up raising a tiger only to suffer from it, being used by me instead, wouldn’t that prove that I have some ability?”

Auston’s mind wasn’t clear, he could live for the moment, not caring about the time or even his own life or death.

But he couldn’t—

He wanted to live well with Auston.

Auston didn’t expect Ruan Tang to say this, because in his eyes, Ruan Tang had always been a naive and harmless person who wouldn’t fight back when hit, and would at most be verbally fierce, not causing any real harm. Even if he was verbally aggressive, Auston had always believed that he was just outwardly strong but inwardly weak.

He suddenly remembered that Ruan Tang had once asked him, if given the opportunity, how could he know he wouldn’t put those who had humiliated him to death?

At that time, Auston didn’t take it to heart, only thinking that this Omega was just verbally cruel, but in reality, he was soft and cowardly.

It wasn’t until now that Auston truly saw a hint of ruthlessness in his eyes.

“With me protecting you, what’s wrong with being muddled?” Auston waved his hand abruptly, “In this life, isn’t it enough to seize the present and enjoy the happiness before your eyes? Excessive wisdom will lead to harm, why live so clearly, only to cause yourself pain?”

He was talking about Ruan Tang, but also about himself.

Ruan Tang’s eyes were very beautiful, clean and clear, like a lake that one could see to the bottom of at a glance. When his eyes moved, they were even more dazzling, unlike someone from their frivolous circle.

Auston extremely wanted to protect these eyes, keeping them free from impurities, making them his collection.

“But I always have to grow up and face the wind and rain alone. I can’t always hide under Sir’s wings to escape reality, right?” Ruan Tang could only say this.

He didn’t want to be a dodder vine clinging to Auston for survival, but wanted to become a trumpet creeper that could stand shoulder to shoulder with him, or even protect him in return.

His light and shallow words made Auston misunderstand immediately, recalling Ruan Tang’s feelings for him.

Auston looked at Ruan Tang deeply, his gaze scanning him back and forth, but suddenly fell silent.

Although he was currently doting on Ruan Tang and protecting him, he had never thought about being with him for a long time. He wasn’t even sure how long he himself would live.

Since Ruan Tang knew his intentions, making this choice might be the right thing to do.

After all, he couldn’t rely on him for a lifetime, he could only protect him for a while, but not forever. Only Ruan Tang himself growing and becoming stronger could allow him to live well in this circle without him.

Protecting himself and his family.

But… once tainted with the things of power, staying in an environment of intrigue for a long time, these beautiful eyes would probably be stained with vulgar and turbid colors, and their beauty would be gone.

Auston looked at Ruan Tang, his eyes darkened slightly, feeling sorry for these eyes that were about to lose their color and clarity.

But then he thought again, somewhat ruthlessly: Even if they lose their clarity, what does it have to do with him?

He didn’t want to go far with Ruan Tang, he didn’t really want to dig out these eyes and treasure them. Ruan Tang was just a pastime for him. If he lost his clarity and no longer possessed the qualities that attracted him, he would naturally not want him and wouldn’t need him to stay by his side…

For these eyes, perhaps losing their color and giving their owner boundless power and the ability to protect themselves was what they wanted to see.

Auston’s thoughts were complicated, turning a thousand times.

Ruan Tang was completely unaware of what he was thinking, “Besides, even if something really happens to me, Sir will protect me, won’t you?”

His tone was calm and confident, as if he was very sure.

“Protect you? My foot!” Auston sneered coldly, “If you die in their hands, I won’t even collect your body.”

His kindness, tolerance, and pampering towards Ruan Tang were nothing more than like having a cat that caught his eye in the house. He found it interesting and was willing to keep it, enduring its countless cat hairs, endless cat poop, and its claws that occasionally scratched things. He was willing to buy it things and spend money on it when he was in a good mood.

That’s all, don’t think about anything else. Ruan Tang borrowed the Empress’s power and also wanted to borrow his power.

How could this Omega think so beautifully?

Ruan Tang smiled, but didn’t care about these things.

Ruan Tang used the domestic robot to clean up the mess in Auston’s room caused by his sudden outburst, and then waved the “One Thousand and One Nights” in his hand at Auston, “Okay, Sir, let’s not talk about those unhappy things. I have a sense of proportion, you don’t need to worry.”

“What story do you want to hear tonight?” he asked Auston.

Auston immediately refused unhappily, “I don’t want to listen. I’m annoyed just looking at you, get out!”

“You don’t want to listen, but I want to tell it.” Ruan Tang pursed his lips and smiled, but ignored him, making his own decision, “Let’s tell the story of ‘Aladdin’s Lamp’ today.”

Auston’s face was full of rejection, but when Ruan Tang really started telling the story, his ears honestly perked up.

He knew in his heart that he should obviously kick Ruan Tang out at this time, reprimanding this Omega for his unreasonableness and offense, but inexplicably hearing Ruan Tang’s voice and seeing Ruan Tang’s eyes, as clear as autumn water, were focused on him, as if nothing else could be reflected in his eyes except him.

He inexplicably almost forgot to think, forgetting that he was still angry with Ruan Tang and should kick him out.

Auston couldn’t understand why he would tolerate an Omega again and again, lowering his bottom line again and again, when he was clearly just treating him as a pet, as a source of amusement.

Auston listened to the childish story that Ruan Tang was telling to children, frowning and spacing out for a long time before he suddenly realized.

All of this was just because Ruan Tang was too interesting, too pleasing to him…

And unlike Ruan Tang, Auston, who had never seen his tomorrow or hope, had always lived each day as his last, so he cherished and enjoyed the happiness before his eyes.

As long as it could make him happy, and he didn’t know what tomorrow would bring?

Why not seize the time to enjoy it?

He wanted to be at odds with Ruan Tang, but not with himself.

Auston immediately closed his eyes and listened to Ruan Tang’s reading voice, which could calm his heart.

As Auston listened, he immediately felt that the restlessness in his heart seemed to be completely suppressed.

Ruan Tang saw that his breathing was steady and thought he had fallen asleep. He gently closed the book in his hand and was about to sneak out.

“I will protect you, as long as I am in Imperial Star for one day.” Auston suddenly spoke in the darkness.

Ruan Tang was his source of enjoyment, as long as he was in Imperial Star, and Ruan Tang’s voice, scent, and eyes didn’t change, he would protect him for one day for this entertainment…

And if one day he really left Imperial Star, he naturally wouldn’t be able to control Ruan Tang.

So, he made this promise to Ruan Tang.

However, even if one day he really left Imperial Star, he hoped that Ruan Tang could really grow up and live well… Perhaps at that time, they would have a day to meet again.

Ruan Tang didn’t know what he was thinking, and his mouth immediately turned up in a big smile, “Okay, I understand, Sir.”

He believed that Auston would do what he said…

“Good night.”

After saying good night, Ruan Tang immediately closed Auston’s door with a happy mood and walked out of his room.

And after he left, Auston directly opened his personal terminal and contacted some of his people lurking in the Empress’s forces, “My wife is going to work for the Empress in a couple of days. I expect he wants to do something, but although the Empress has promised to give him a chance, she can’t actually help him much. If you see anything you can do to help, please help him… Don’t let him work too hard.”

The subordinates who received Auston’s communication late at night were extremely shocked. They never expected that Ruan Tang’s weight in Auston’s heart had really reached such a level that even if Ruan Tang joined the Empress’s forces and was with the Empress, he would still protect him.

But no one dared to question him, and they all responded, “Yes.”

At the same time, Auston’s dark guards also received Auston’s communication. Auston briefly instructed the captain, “Tomorrow, take five, no, ten people to follow the Madam and protect him. I don’t need so many people to protect me.”

He and Ruan Tang mixing in this circle, Auston thought that Ruan Tang would be the one to die faster.
