“Silas, please delete the photos. We can talk this through.” The male adjusted his pants and looked at Silas with flattery,

This male was named Leighton Morse, and he was a high–ranking officer in the Empire’s Supervisory Department,

The Supervisory Department was one of the most feared divisions in the Empire, with its enormous power, and was responsible for monitoring all officials and nobles. Leighton himself was known for his righteousness and strictness, which earned the King’s deep

trust.

Yet, who could have imagined that such a seemingly upright official would secretly appear in this filthy underground auction house and even force himself on a sub–female?

This was an absolute scandal!

If Silas had spread the photos out or even just sent them to the Supervisory Department, Leighton’s career and life would be completely ruined! He would fall from a respected position to a laughingstock and a criminal of the entire empire.

Leighton had no idea how Silas had found this place, and he now wanted nothing more than to kill Silas. However, he also knew that Silas wasn’t someone to provoke recklessly. Hence, without absolute certainty, Leighton dared not act rashly.

“Silas, we are all friends, so why make this such a big deal? I just wanted a sub–female. It’s normal.”

At that moment, the male whom Leighton had forced himself cried out.

“I’m not a sub–female.” The male clutched his disheveled clothes and crawled to Silas‘ feet. “I’m not a sub–female. I’m a male. It was him… He kidnapped me here.” As the male spoke, he pointed at Leighton with trembling fingers.

Not a sub–female? Silas looked at the male kneeling at his feet.

The male’s clothes were disordered, and his pale skin was marred with bruises. His eyes were red–rimmed, and his lips were bitten raw as he stared at Leighton in fear and humiliation while trembling violently.

When Leighton heard his words, his face changed drastically. A flash of ruthlessness and panic crossed his eyes as he scolded the male sharply. “Nonsense! You are clearly a sub–female I bought from the auction!”

“I’m not.” The male shook his head in tears, desperately clutching Silas‘ pants as if they were his only lifeline.

“Please save me! My name is Quintus Cather, and I’m a teacher at the Empire Mech Academy. Two days ago, I was beaten unconscious on my way home from school, and when I woke up, I was here. He injected me with some unknown substance and forced me to…” As Quintus spoke, his voice broke down, leaving only suppressed sobs.

Kidnapping a male, as well as a teacher, and forcibly mating with him was a crime far more serious than trading sub–females.

Silas felt that Leighton was truly despicable.

Leighton’s expressions were dark. With murderous intent, he glanced at Quintus before looking at Silas and said, “This has nothing to do with you, Silas. Hand him over, delete the photos, and I’ll act as if nothing happened today. In the future, the Supervisory Department will stand by your side.”

Hearing his words, Silas closed his lightcore and smiled faintly at Leighton. “That does sound like a nice proposal.”

In that instant, Leighton exhaled in relief, and a smug smile spread across his face. He knew that someone like Silas valued benefits

above all else. Thus, how could an ordinary male stranger compare to the power and influence that the entire Supervisory Department could offer him?

As Leighton thought it through, he straightened himself and returned to his usual haughty demeanor.

“You did well, Silas. Why harm our friendship over a mere male? Don’t you worry about it. As long as you delete the photos, what happened today stays between us. In the future, I can guarantee you that I won’t refuse any of your requests.” Then, he turned to Quintus and continued, “As for this disobedient pet, I’ll handle him myself.”

Silas didn’t nod or shake his head. His expression remained calm, and Leighton assumed Silas had approved of his words.

Then, he sneered and strode toward Quintus, who curled up on the ground. He grabbed Quintus‘ messy hair, forcing his face upward, and taunted, “See this? You fool. Do you really think that anyone would dare offend me for a worthless wretch like you?” He leaned close to Quintus‘ ear and whispered viciously, “You should accept your fate now. Soon, I’ll show you what real despair is!”

The last flicker of hope in Quintus‘ eyes completely disappeared. He mocked himself for how naive he had been in asking for help. After all, Leighton was a high–ranking officer of the Empire’s Supervisory Department, while he was just a powerless male. Who would risk offending such a great figure for him?

The hope that had just risen in his heart was nothing but a laughable illusion. At that moment, humiliation and despair surged over him like a tidal wave.

Quintus bit down hard on his lower lip as a glimmer of resolve flashed in his eyes. He felt that it was better to die than endure further abuse from Leighton.
