Chapter 172

To prove the credibility of what they said wasn't fabricated, those staff members from the Omega Protection Association even specially displayed the certified icon of the Omega Protection Association. On today's star network, account freedom was extremely high; users could choose to remain completely anonymous or display various certifications according to their situation. Since star network accounts were bound to personal identities, the possibility of forgery simply did not exist. Therefore, after these posts came out, the star network fell into an utter stillness for a moment, and then immediately afterward, all sorts of replies erupted like a volcanic explosion!

--I don't believe it! I refuse to admit it! How could any alpha's marriage guidance go so comfortably! Ahhhh!

--As an alpha with noble morals, I never used to be jealous of others, but this time, I admit it—I'm salty and green with envy!

--Who is that alpha?! Requesting a human flesh search, requesting exposure! Watch me not... crying out to beg for a master, big brother, this is way too strong, please teach me your ultimate move!

--I'm even more curious about who that omega is. Heavens, how could such a gentle, cute, and understanding omega exist in this world?

--I originally thought today's marriage guidance had already driven me to my wits' end, but I admit, I have now suffered an even greater blow!!

--Jealousy is making my cells undergo plasmolysis!

The star network was lively and bustling, with all kinds of replies refreshing at lightning speed. At this point, no one paid any more attention to whether the Omega Protection Association had gone too far. Compared to that trivial matter, what was exposed right after was a blockbuster news story that refreshed their worldviews. It was the first time they realized that such operations could exist in this world, that an omega could provide such a safeguard for an alpha. The most crucial part was that this matter, which they wouldn't have even dared to imagine before, was actually experienced by a real alpha.

In short, to describe the feelings of all alphas at this moment—whether married or unmarried—in a single sentence, it was: I feel the malice coming from the great universe.

Meanwhile, while this matter was being hotly debated on the star network, aboard a military spacecraft with a rather delayed signal reception, a group of military alphas out on a mission were zestfully discussing the year's imperial marriage matching. They had previously been stationed in the enclosed military department, and although they could connect to the star network once they came out, the star network was always unstable during transit, so they hadn't followed the entire process of this year's marriage matching. But even if they didn't follow the beginning, once the final results actually came out, they still couldn't help discussing it together.

One alpha sighed regretfully, "Sigh, I didn't expect both omega stars to be matched to alphas this year. What a pity I didn't participate this year."

"Go on, go on, talking as if you'd be selected just by participating," others teased him.

"Humph, who says it's impossible? Didn't you see that one of the alphas matched to the omega stars this year is also from our military department? Why would it be impossible for me? I don't care, once I save up enough annual leave next year, I'm going to sign up and participate too," that teased alpha said with fierce indignation.

Just then, one of the alphas looked at the list of paired avatars and said hesitantly, "Do you guys think... this military department alpha matched with Colin looks a bit familiar?"

"What? Let me see!"

The group immediately looked over, and after a serious look this time, they quickly recognized the result. Someone said, "He really does look familiar, like I've seen him somewhere before."

"Hey, do all of you have amnesia? Isn't this our Captain's friend? I've seen him come to look for the Captain."

"That's right, what you said reminds me—I even saw a photo of them together from their military academy days in the Captain's dormitory."

Just as the group was discussing it with soaring enthusiasm, a low and stern voice came from behind them: "What are you looking at?"

Captain! The group was startled, but immediately afterward, someone remembered something and cleverly pointed at the light screen, saying, "Captain, look, isn't this alpha matched with an omega this year your friend?"

Aaron had originally not paid it any mind, but when his gaze drifted to the light screen and he clearly saw that tiny avatar, his pupils suddenly constricted sharply.

"Captain, is it him?"

Amidst the inquiries of his teammates, Aaron remained silent for a long time. In the end, without uttering a word, he turned around and walked back. Watching Aaron's departing back, the group of alphas strangely discovered that there seemed to be a lack of their usual calm composure in their Captain's footsteps.

Aaron left his teammates behind, hurriedly returning to his own cabin, opened the light screen, found the page he had just been looking at, and then fell into a trance. It actually... truly, really is him...

His best brother had gained the favor of an omega in this year's marriage matching and successfully entered the halls of marriage. He should have been happy for him and sent him his blessings, but Aaron felt empty inside. A feeling of wretched discomfort swept over him like a tidal wave, pressing down on him until he could barely breathe.

Aaron stayed alone in that cabin, carefully tasting the sour, astringent flavor deep within his heart. In a daze, he experienced a flash of realization, and certain things he had vaguely sensed long ago—yet had never managed to pierce through the final layer of fog—finally revealed their true faces.

Bai had always been his best brother, and he also liked being with Bai the most. As long as he was with Bai, no matter what they were doing, he felt extremely happy. Since a long time ago, Aaron had noticed that his care for Bai was a little abnormal; not a single teammate had ever reached Bai's level in his heart. But he had never thought much about it either, simply treating it as a closer form of friendship since both of them were alphas. Yet today, the moment he saw Bai successfully match in the marriage matching and already have an omega, the feeling in his heart made it impossible for him to deceive himself any longer.
