Outcast Omega Pampered by the Alpha General novel Chapter 297

Chapter 297 The Only Living Source

A very talented netizen even wrote a little chant.

Within moments, the entire comment section began copying it.

Feared

[Caleb Hayes does not fear boiling water. The hotter it burns, the wilder you get! Colonel Caleb Hayes, our only living source, your moment has arrived!]

Caleb Hayes: “…”

Wonderful.

So this was all he was worth to them.

Did he have time to satisfy the curiosity of StarNet users?

No.

He did not even have time to answer the endless private messages from officers in other legions.

Why?

Because Adrian Whitmore was sitting beside him, staring at him with a look that clearly said, Since I cannot dig out Orion Ashford’s eyeballs, I might as well dig out yours.

Under the attention of countless viewers, Julian Shaw finally lowered his hand and rubbed the wolf cub’s fluffy head.

That meant no more fighting.

Then he reached out and patted Greedy Wolf’s round metal head too.

His tone was very serious.

“No fighting.”

The wolf cub lowered itself obediently. “Awoo-”

Greedy Wolf was a mecha.

The Heart of Silver Radiance inside it was like a newborn artifact spirit.

It had awareness.

A little.

Not much.

So even after being slapped by the wolf cub, Greedy Wolf did not show much emotion. The bright (^w^) on its face screen stayed exactly the same.

Orion, however, still stroked the round head of his new partner as comfort.

Finned

After that, he looked at Julian and said naturally, as if the entire Empire were not watching them. “Greedy Wolf is strong. Stronger than I expected. As General Orion, I do not think any soldier could refuse a mecha like this. I am no exception.”

Julian nodded.

His expression said everything,

Of course.

But Orion did not stop there.

He said, “But as Orion, as your bonded partner, it would not matter to me whether Greedy Wolf was a super mecha or a stray kitten you picked up beside the road.”

Julian paused.

That did not make sense.

Greedy Wolf was extremely strong.

How could some ordinary stray kitten compare?

Before he could figure it out, Orion lowered his gaze.

The man’s eyes were gentle, serious, and almost solemn.

“Because this is the first gift Orion has ever received from Julian. You designed it for me. You built it for me. You made it from nothing with your own hands, and you gave it to me on my birthday.”

His voice softened.

“What matters to me is not that it makes me stronger.”

“What matters is that it proves I have Julian’s favor.”

No one else had that.

Only he did.

That favor was direct.

Steady.

Biased beyond reason.

It was a precious thing that belonged to him alone.

Julian looked at Orion in confusion.

Orion’s eyes seemed a little red.

A little wet too.

Finished

While Noah seemed to be having a delayed enlightenment, the livestream comments collapsed completely the moment Orion hugged Julian.

[Aaaaah! I am gone. This is too sweet. I always thought General Orion was the wooden one, but Little Master Julian is the real block of wood!]

[Shocked. Dizzy. In disbelief. I am considering sleeping again and waking up in a normal universe.]

[That chubby classmate beside Little Master Julian is literally me.]

[Male Beta. Eighteen. Military academy student. Always holding a silver wolf spirit form named Ruin. Alpha named Orion Shaw. Mm. So Little Master Julian is Little Gentleman, and the so-called no-name social- climbing Alpha is Orion Ashford?]

Netizens were eating gossip through the screen.

The cadets inside the arena were screaming hard enough to tear the sky open.

Orion was their idol.

Little Master Julian was the mecha maker every soldier wanted to work with.

And now, the answer had landed in front of everyone.

Little Master Julian was Little Gentleman.

That violently overpowered Greedy Wolf mecha was Little Gentleman’s birthday gift to the general.

Custom-built.

Handmade.

For him alone.

The starlight on its claws.

The star glow beneath its feet.

The name Greedy Wolf.

The black-and-silver color scheme.

Even the little black cat meme that had long been suspected to belong to a certain Little Gentleman.

Everything closed into a perfect loop.

Little black cat Julian Shaw had made a black-and-silver cat mecha, named it Greedy Wolf after General Orion’s spirit form, then gifted it to General Orion on his birthday.

Chapter 297 The Only Living Source

Good.

Everyone understood.

Everyone was full.

This mouthful of dog food was sweet enough to drown officers, soldiers, cadets, and netizens together.

After all, as soldiers…
