Chapter 24 Calculation

Chapter 24 Calculation

Ji Jing packed his belongings after signing the electronic divorce application with Ed.

Once he officially exchanged the certificates with Ed, he would move to the villa on Emerald Avenue.

During this period, although he did not meet Luo Ke in person, they kept in touch continuously.

Luo Ke wanted to come over and help him move, but Ji Jing refused.

Later, Luo Ke taught him some methods for training and using his mental power through voice messages.

Ji Jing decided to try them out later and thanked Luo Ke via voice message.

"Thank you, Luo Ke. I'll treat you to dinner sometime."

Luo Ke hesitated before replying, "I can treat you to dinner. Can you give me a gift instead?"

Ji Jing was taken aback, "Huh? A gift? Sure, what do you want?"

After all, he had just extorted one hundred million star coins from Ed; buying a gift for Luo Ke should not be a problem.

However, Luo Ke hesitated even more, stammering for a while before saying, "I... I want a piece of... clothing that you've worn but haven't... washed..."

Ji Jing thought he had misheard, "What? What do you want?"

Luo Ke's voice grew softer, "I want... your clothes, the ones you've worn... I want to use them to build... build a nest..."

Ji Jing: "..."

Good grief, some people's sexual preferences in this universe were truly peculiar and perverse.

But thinking about it based on the protagonist's knowledge of interstellar physiology, it seemed normal.

Alphas indeed occasionally exhibit nesting behavior during their heat periods, usually when they have an extremely close Omega partner who is not around.

To alleviate anxiety during the heat period, Alphas choose to surround themselves with their Omega's personal items, which retain some of the Omega's pheromones, providing comfort.

But the issue was, hadn't he and Luo Ke not established any intimate relationship yet?

Why did he need his things to build a nest?

Nevertheless, Ji Jing did not refuse; he just smiled and asked, "One piece enough? Should I give you a few more?"

"Yes... yes, thank you!"

Even through the network, Ji Jing could imagine how red Luo Ke's face must be.

He really was... cute!

After hanging up, Ji Jing tried the methods Luo Ke had taught him to cultivate his mental power.

When he closed his eyes and released his intangible mental power, his consciousness seemed to expand and become vast. Within the range of his mental power, there was a sense of omnipresence.

Then, Ji Jing accidentally overheard Eugene and Mrs. Grace's conversation.

Ed had already told the Graces about their divorce, and somehow, they accepted it.

However, they were still upset about Ed giving the villa on Emerald Avenue to Ji Jing, and they were unaware of the one hundred million star coins.

At that moment, Ji Jing heard Eugene say to Mrs. Grace, "Mom, I really like Ji Jing. As an Omega, once divorced, he won't find another good match. Could you talk to Dad and let Ji Jing marry me?"

Ji Jing: ?????

He was about to divorce Ed, and his future marriage was still subject to Pullman Grace's approval?

What surprised Ji Jing even more was that Mrs. Grace actually looked down on him.

"What's so good about Ji Jing? Apart from his face being barely acceptable, what else is there to like?"

"Besides, an Omega being too pretty isn't good. It attracts wild Alphas, especially since you're a Beta."

"Eugene, though you're not an Alpha, we hope you marry a fertile Omega who might bear an Alpha child."

"Ji Jing is like a hen that can't lay eggs. Didn't your brother say that Carol is pregnant with his child, and the hospital said it might be an Alpha!"

"Last time, Ji Jing falsely claimed that your brother couldn't reproduce. I think he can't reproduce himself and is tarnishing your brother's reputation."

"Sigh, I don't know what your brother was thinking, giving such an expensive villa to a hen that can't lay eggs. If not for Carol showing soon, I'd have a serious talk with Ji Jing about his audacity to claim Ed's pre-marriage property."

"Damn, this is infuriating!"

Mrs. Grace spoke with disdain, unaware that Ji Jing's face was now equally grim. The next part of their conversation made Ji Jing feel as if he had swallowed a fly—

Eugene: "Mom, in that case, you should agree to let Ji Jing marry me."

"After I marry him, his things will be mine, so the villa will still belong to our Grace family."

Mrs. Grace immediately agreed, "Right, why didn't I think of that?"

"With our status and wealth in Imperial Star, what Omega can't you marry? If Ji Jing doesn't live long, you can inherit the villa on Emerald Avenue."

"Even if he lives long, as long as he can't produce, he's an Omega without support, and we can control him tightly."

...

Ji Jing could no longer listen to their conversation, feeling utterly disgusted.

Now it seemed that divorcing Ed so easily was too lenient on this bunch of trash.

However, Ji Jing really didn't want to continue being with these trash anymore. The Civil Affairs Bureau had already approved his divorce application with Ed.

Normally, the Civil Affairs Bureau would drag out the approval of a divorce application for at least a month and find various reasons to reject it. This time, the efficiency was surprisingly fast. It's unknown whether Luo Ke had something to do with it.

But it didn't matter anymore.

Ji Jing sent a message to Ed, arranging to meet him at the entrance of the Civil Affairs Bureau at eight o'clock the next morning. As soon as the bureau opened, they would go in to obtain their divorce certificates.

Then, he sent another message to Luo Ke, setting up a meeting at a nearby café at nine o'clock, mentioning that he would bring the clothes he had worn.

Both responded to Ji Jing's messages.

The next morning, Ji Jing left home with a backpack containing the clothes he intended to give to Luo Ke.

However, when Ji Jing was driving his flying car towards the Civil Affairs Bureau, shortly after leaving home, the car suddenly encountered a malfunction. The anti-gravity suspension system failed, causing the flying car to plummet from the sky.

In a panic, Ji Jing tried to kick open the car door to escape, but the malfunctioning car had locked the doors shut.

Everything happened too quickly. Ji Jing only managed to protect his head with the backpack before the flying car crashed to the ground.

With a loud bang.

Trapped inside the car, Ji Jing felt like he was in a blender, his entire body battered and bruised. He felt as if his internal organs were shattered by the intense pain.

As his consciousness faded, Ji Jing vaguely saw the car door being violently forced open by an external force.

A gentleman wearing gold-rimmed glasses smiled and said, "Little treasure, I've come to pick you up!"

Immediately after, Ji Jing's consciousness plunged into endless darkness.
