Chapter 155: [Parallel World] One Night in The Bar (2)
Note: The Parallel World series happened in a parallel universe; the plot and settings are completely unrelated to the previous story. This Yuka is still the famous "Vase."
This individual had no records of arriving on Capital Octoxis via a regular starship, likely having arrived on a smuggler’s vessel. They had been monitoring him for two days, noting that his activities were confined to the underground bar.
When the man suddenly turned around, Kenji quickly hid around a corner in the corridor. Only after the man entered a private room did Kenji cautiously approach, placing sophisticated eavesdropping equipment on the door to listen in on the conversation inside.
"Boss, I haven’t found any new glands recently. The Alliance Army is keeping a tight watch. Should we pause our operations and lay low for a while?" one voice inside said.
’Glands?’ Kenji frowned. He knew the space pirates had a purpose for coming to Capital Octoxis. Typically, they kidnapped heirs of ruling families for ransom, but targeting human glands...
Only alphas and betas have these glands, and removal poses a significant risk of death. Even if rescued in time, the victim’s health deteriorates severely, leading to death without meticulous care.
Another voice from inside said, "No, Professor Humphrey said his research is on the verge of a breakthrough. We need to deliver more glands to him soon. He claimed that with enough glands, he could create a pheromone to weaken all alphas, making it easy for us to conquer the Alliance."
"Just find someone easy to target in the underground bar and extract their glands. Make sure to clean up after," the first voice instructed. "Now go, before the Alliance Army catches on."
Hearing this, Kenji quickly removed his listening device and hastened his steps, leaving the corridor.
A pheromone that could render all alphas powerless...
Although alphas don’t have heat cycles like betas, they are highly susceptible to beta pheromones, which can reduce them to mere beasts focused only on mating.
