[“Where do you think you’re going! Men and women over seven must not sit together, and an Alpha and Omega who aren’t even married have no business living under the same roof! This is outrageous…!”]
Just now, Chairman Seong had essentially cursed out all those cohabiting gay couples in Omegaverse novels.
With that old-fashioned mindset of his, all I could do was laugh.
[“You dare covet my grandson? Do you think you can just regret it now and win him over by starting with his body? Not a chance! I should go down there right now and slap those bastards in the face—no, I should have a proper talk with them.”]
“I think I just heard something about slapping faces.”
[“I don’t recall saying anything like that. Did I really say such a thing? Hoho.”]
That was a classic line straight out of a politician’s hearing.
Not that I minded.
It was time to deploy a new tactic—using one force to counter another.
‘Let Chairman Seong deal with those Alpha bastards.’
Let a dominant Alpha take on the male leads.
It might be one versus many, but if the opponent was Chairman Seong, the balance would roughly even out.
Go, Chairman Seong!
Body slam them!!
“Yes, Grandfather. I’ll be waiting for you.”
I sincerely hoped Chairman Seong would wipe those guys out.
Once the male leads were dealt with, he’d just return to the main house anyway.
That would be nothing but beneficial for me.
‘I believe in you, Chairman Seong!’
Charge in like a wild boar and scatter those bastards!
And Chairman Seong truly kept his word.
Before a full day had even passed, a car driven by his chauffeur arrived at my house.
“Chanyeong! Your grandpa’s here!”
“Welcome, Grandfather.”
Chairman Seong appeared at the front gate, dressed to the nines.
Just like when I had visited the main house, his large, sturdy frame was wrapped in a luxurious suit.
His muscular build showed clearly even through the fabric, making me instinctively straighten my posture.
“It’s been a while, and you’ve gotten even thinner… There’s nothing left but skin and bones. You need to eat something right away. Secretary Park!”
“Yes, Chairman!”
“Bring out the deer antler, red ginseng, and black garlic from the trunk and give them to Chanyeong. And the aged wild ginseng too! Ah! Don’t forget the reishi mushrooms!”
A flood of tonics poured out.
Like a genie from a magic lamp, Chairman Seong kept handing me one supplement after another.
If this novel were a martial arts story, I’d probably become an internal energy master after consuming all these elixirs.
The thought made me chuckle.
“You like it, don’t you! Hmm, as expected, my judgment is impeccable.”
Seeing me let out a small laugh, Chairman Seong interpreted it however he pleased, his cheeks lifting as if they might ascend to the heavens.
It wasn’t that I was happy about the tonics, but correcting his misunderstanding would probably only dampen his mood, so I let it be.
“Take one of these every day.”
“Thank you. I’ll make sure to take them.”
You’re not supposed to refuse what an elder gives you.
There was so much that I had the staff carry it all to the storage room.
At that moment, Chairman Seong’s gaze fixed on a certain spot, his eyes sharpening like a starving hawk that had spotted a rat.
“Oh ho, so those bastards are still clinging here like sticky taffy, are they?”
The way he emphasized the word made it clear something was coming.
The male leads, sensing the piercing gaze, turned around—
—and froze in shock.
“Chairman… Seong…?”
“What? Chairman Seong?”
“Chairman Seong is here?”
“So you’ve been keeping track of my whereabouts, I see. I knew this day would come, but I didn’t expect it to be today.”
They had been peeling green onions and crushing garlic from the market, but now they jumped as if they had seen a ghost.
As they raised their heads one by one, their faces drained of color, dropping the onions and garlic in their hands.
Of all times, they were peeling onions and garlic, so their eyes were probably already stinging.
There was ginger beside them too.
I had assigned that task.
‘Figured it’d be better to make them cry in advance.’
Well, that was a lie.
In reality, I wanted to show Chairman Seong just how pitiful these guys looked after settling in here, to boost his fighting spirit.
That’s why I hadn’t even told them when he’d be arriving.
A perfect surprise visit.
The result?
A complete success.
“G-Greetings, Chairman.”
The male leads stood frozen for a moment before snapping back to their senses and greeting him from a distance.
Chairman Seong clicked his tongue and immediately turned his head toward me.
“Tsk. What’s with the state of those idiots?”
“Oh, those are the clothes I gave them to wear while working. I made it clear they had no choice but to wear them.”
“I see. Then is that your taste?”
“No. That’s no one’s taste.”
It was just pure spite.
A silent way of telling them to get lost.
“Oh ho.”
Since Chairman Seong was coming, I had deliberately picked even more outrageous patterns.
Leopard prints paired with loud, destructive floral designs—those baggy pants were truly something else.
Watching the male leads reluctantly put them on had given me a twisted sense of satisfaction.
‘That’ll be the last pair of pants you ever wear here. Heh.’
I fully expected Chairman Seong to act as a solid tank and drive these Alphas out.
As expected, he waved off his driver, Secretary Choi, and strode toward them with a menacing aura.
“So, you’re all gathered here.”
“…What brings you here, Chairman Seong?”
“Does a grandfather need a reason to visit his grandson, or must I report my business to outsiders?”
“My apologies. That was inappropriate.”
“And you lot—why are a bunch of outside Alphas sticking around in someone else’s grandson’s house?”
‘You’re doing great, Chairman Seong!’
Earlier it was “bastards,” now it was “outsiders”—the emphasis in his tone made my heart race.
I almost wanted to grab some popcorn and watch.
Having a mercenary on your side felt amazing.
At that moment, Joo Taegang stepped forward with a displeased expression.
He released his Alpha pheromones with a serious face, but the leopard-print pants he wore and the half-peeled green onion in his hand completely ruined any intimidation.
Chairman Seong looked at him with blatant disdain.
“Chairman, Seong Chanyeong is a Beta. I don’t believe it’s appropriate to refer to us as ‘outside Alphas.’”
After all, Seong Chanyeong’s public gender was that of a Beta male.
Since these guys were only interested in Omega men, the implication was obvious—‘You don’t have to worry, we have no intention of touching him.’
It was an arrogant sentiment laid bare.
‘Thanks, you bastards. Keep seeing me as a rock like that.’
To Alphas who preferred Omegas, a Beta was practically nonexistent.
I felt relieved and turned to look at Chairman Seong—
—but the wrinkles on his face had twisted in a dangerous way.
“Oh? Are you saying my Chanyeong lacks charm?”
…Huh?
How did it get interpreted like that?
With this kind of setup, no matter what they said, they were doomed.
‘Ah. So that’s what you were aiming for.’
No matter the answer, they’d be criticized.
I kept my mouth shut.
You’re doing great, Chairman.
“That’s not what I meant. However, since you are concerned for your Beta grandson, I simply wished to clarify. We are staying by Seong Chanyeong’s side in exchange for appropriate compensation. If you have any complaints, please direct them to him.”
‘You’re the ones who forced your way in first and only accepted after I offered compensation…’
Watching Joo Taegang speak so confidently without the slightest change in expression left me stunned.
And then he even tried to shift the blame onto me.
I wanted to punch him.
If only I could.
Of course, Chairman Seong wasn’t unaware.
Noticing my displeasure, he sharply rebuked Joo Taegang.
“How shameless. Do you think I’m unaware of how you forced your way into Chanyeong’s life? I came worried about how much you must have tormented a sick child, but I didn’t expect such audacity.”
Fortunately, there hadn’t been any hidden surveillance, but Chairman Seong was under a massive misunderstanding.
The one doing the tormenting had been me.
Joo Taegang had actually been the victim.
‘Th-That stings a bit, but this is self-defense.’
I had to drive them out.
That was the only way I could survive.
So I chose to ignore the faint pricks of guilt.
Just then—
“Chanyeong, I didn’t see anyone inside, so I wondered what was going on… Huh?”
Seo Eunsu walked over from a distance, dressed casually.
Even in simple clothes, his natural elegance made him look like a painting.
Even his startled, wide-eyed expression upon spotting Chairman Seong was endearing.
“Hmm? Isn’t that the one you used to hate to death? Why is he here?”
Chairman Seong looked puzzled upon seeing Seo Eunsu.
I answered honestly.
“I hired him as a part-timer.”
“An enemy like that?”
Strictly speaking, that wasn’t accurate.
To Seo Eunsu, it was Seong Chanyeong who had been the enemy.
“…Not anymore.”
“You’ve grown. You’ve become magnanimous.”
Chairman Seong’s favor tilted entirely in my direction.
It was honestly overwhelming.
Watching him smile with satisfaction, I felt a faint pang of guilt for not being the real Seong Chanyeong.
“Hm, this is interesting. That young man is no longer an Omega.”
As expected of an Alpha, Chairman Seong noticed immediately, even without pheromones being released.
“How could you tell?”
“When you live long enough, you just know.”
Even though the others hadn’t noticed at all, his perception was impressive.
“It hasn’t been long since his trait mutated into an Alpha.”
At Seo Eunsu’s words, Chairman Seong’s gaze sharpened.
Since Seong Chanyeong’s body was that of a recessive Omega, it seemed he viewed any Alpha as a wolf cub and stayed on guard.
“I don’t understand why you remain here. What is it that you want?”
“Grandfather!”
