Chapter 170

Therefore, when Colin actively requested to tag along this time, not only did Bai Yichen find it strange, but even the people from the Omega Protection Association felt completely awkward.

The Omega Protection Association was an official organization whose mission was to protect the rights and interests of omegas. They were approachable and kind to omegas, and whenever they saw any event that might harm an omega, they would charge forward without hesitation, making them a group with exceptionally strong combat effectiveness. A saying had long circulated on the star network that it was better to offend the imperial military than to offend the Omega Protection Association. Their combat capability could be seen from this.

One of the major tasks of the Omega Protection Association every year was to organize and coordinate all matters regarding marriage matching. From the early stages of matching to the daily living arrangements after an alpha and omega married, their figures could be seen everywhere. Just because these people were approachable toward omegas did not mean they were the same toward alphas, especially when they gave marriage guidance every year to those alphas lucky enough to get the chance to register for marriage with an omega—that was precisely the peak of their harshness.

After all, they were about to hand a delicate and fragile omega over to this alpha, so how could they not knock some sense into him and put him through the wringer? Therefore, whenever they brought alphas who had undergone marriage guidance to the omegas each year, those alphas had all been meticulously trained and disciplined.

However, this time, because of the rare situation where an omega proactively requested to accompany them to the alpha's place, the people from the Omega Protection Association were completely thrown for a loop. Facing Colin, they didn't even know whether they should continue with those harsh and difficult cross-examinations. Although they did this for the omega's benefit, they couldn't ignore the fact that this alpha was the registered marriage partner chosen by Colin, and Colin looked like he genuinely liked him. Otherwise, he wouldn't have directly asked to come along with them. As everyone knew, this procedure was a semi-public secret, but the vast majority of omegas maintained a tacit stance and rarely intervened, since such processes were ultimately beneficial to the omegas themselves.

Because of the tangled thoughts in their minds, the people from the Omega Protection Association appeared somewhat silent. However, after sitting in the living room for a while, they still decided to get down to business.

In truth, their task was simple: to reiterate to the alpha the frailty of omegas, state that alphas must not commit any acts that would harm an omega under any circumstances—otherwise facing severe charges—remind them that they would regularly revisit the living conditions of the omega after marriage, ensure the high-quality life and security the alpha should provide for the omega, and even inspect whether the alpha's residence met the required standards to provide a comfortable environment for the omega.

Naturally, almost all alphas belonged to the elite class, and the alphas who stood out among the elites each year to win the favor of an omega were the cream of the crop. Their living conditions and material security were never poor, so the focus of the Omega Protection Association was not on anything else, but rather on the art of giving a hard time.

Overall, during this marriage guidance, their attitude toward Bai Yichen was already infinitely gentler than when they faced other alphas without an accompanying omega. Yet, out of routine and habit, they could still find various flaws of non-compliance within this alpha's residence. But today, their usual big moves evidently failed to work.

For instance, when a staff member from the Omega Protection Association narrowed their eyes and looked around, saying, "--Mr. Bai Yichen, the color scheme of your house is a bit too cold and rigid. Such dark and gloomy colors can easily make an omega feel suppressed."

A soft, gentle voice came from the side: "I really like this minimalist design; it won't feel oppressive at all."

The staff from the Omega Protection Association glanced at Colin, who had spoken, and fell silent.

Or for another instance: "--Mr. Bai Yichen, many omega supplies haven't been prepared here yet. How can that do? This will make things very inconvenient for the omega."

"It's fine. I've already packed up all the items I'm used to using, and someone will be delivering them today."

Just like that, every single time the people from the Omega Protection Association found a breakthrough point to start picking faults, before the main target they wanted to harass could even speak, Colin had already blocked everything back completely and perfectly. After a few rounds of this, the staff from the Omega Protection Association were practically ready to cry.

They expressed that in all their years of conducting marriage guidance, they had truly never suffered such a grievance. Every breakthrough point they wanted to use to make things difficult for the alpha was countered with arguments like the omega won't like it or the omega won't be satisfied. But when the omega himself was sitting right in front of them, stating verbally that everything was completely fine, they naturally lost any room to maneuver.

In the end, realizing that with Colin shielding him, they were destined to be unable to make things difficult for that alpha, they accepted their fate. After dryly reciting everything that needed to be交代 (explained), they all offered their farewells.

Naturally, no one detained the departing members of the Omega Protection Association. Although Bai Yichen had managed to fend off all their questioning thanks to Colin, he still felt a wave of relief seeing this group of people—who had constantly looked at him with critical eyes—finally leave.

Bai Yichen got up to personally escort the personnel from the Omega Protection Association to the door. When he closed the door behind them, Bai Yichen finally relaxed slightly, only to turn back around and run straight into a pair of clear, dark eyes watching him. That omega asked with concern, "They didn't scare you just now, did they?"

Bai Yichen didn't know when Colin had gotten so close, and subconsciously took half a step back so that his back pressed against the door. Realizing immediately afterward that an alpha shouldn't act like this toward an omega, he straightened his posture, nodded toward Colin, and said, "Thank you for just now."

Yet in his actions, Bai Yichen quietly widened the distance between himself and Colin, walking back into the main hall.
