The Top Omega Hunter Wants a Quiet Life [BL]-Chapter 65: Ch : Secret Out- Part 2

My first instinct was to struggle against the grip Lynn had on my arm and my second was to attack him to break free.

I suppressed both my instincts and allowed myself to be tugged to a corner.

Once Lynn had me where he wanted, he let go of my wrist and looked at me with an almost frustrated look on his face.

"Tsk, fuck—! Why did I... ugh, anyway—! I needed to ask you something before I lost you for good. Who are you? There is no way I would believe your half-assed excuses. No ordinary hunter should be able to keep up with me."

Lynn sounded frustrated, almost as if he had tried to figure out something but had failed. I suddenly felt sorry for him.

But not enough to tell him everything.

"I am just your ordinary hunter who wants to stay out of public eye. You should not pay any more attention to me than you already have. Now, I shall take my leave now."

I told Lynn before I tried to walk away. But I suddenly felt an intense killing intent aimed my way. The next thing I knew, I parried the knife out of his hands on instincts.

The force I used caused us both to crash against the wall and he half-leaned down and grabbed my waist to keep me in place and the other to grab my wrist.

"See, this is what I am talking about. Do you think an ordinary hunter would have been able to do this? Plus, there is this mask that you always wear, hiding your face. It reminds me too much of someone else."

The alpha spoke as he leaned closer to me and came into my personal space bubble.

If looks could have killed, then this alpha would have been dead twice over. Unfortunately, my mask hid my hostility.

"You are mistaking me for someone else. Now, let go before I make a formal complaint against you to the association for harassing an omega."

I told Lynn, assuming that he would want to maintain some semblance of reputation before the media and people.

But apparently, that was my misunderstanding because instead of letting me go, he tightened his grip even more on me.

"Hmm, I do not want to let you go until I get an answer from you. And I have a feeling you would disappear if I let you go now... just like you did ten years ago. Isn’t that right, Ace?"

The way the alpha whispered those words in my ear made me shudder and pull away instantly. My first instinct was to deny that I was Ace and curse the alpha out at the same time.

But I had a sudden feeling that the alpha in front of me was unlikely to believe those words. He was already convinced that I was Ace.

’Tsk, the association is such a hassle that they cannot even fake my presence properly. What should I do to throw this alpha off my trail now?’

I asked myself as I looked at the intense eyes of the alpha in front of me.

There was a lot I could have done. But when I thought about it once more, all my thoughts failed me and I felt like I needed to give up.

So that was what I did.

Instead of making too many excuses proving I was not whom this alpha claimed to be, I decided to give a vague answer.

"Believe what you want. But just because you want to believe it does not mean your guess will come true. Now, let go of me before I break your arm."

I told the alpha and he quickly let me go with an almost amused smile on his face.

"Ah sure—! I will let you go now. I think I have my answer to all my questions now. But I do want to know one thing. Why would you hide your identity as Ace, Kyle? I thought we were closer than that. And also, if all you wanted was to come here, you could have asked me. Why go through so much trouble—"

I almost threw a punch at Lynn when I heard those words. But I somehow managed to control myself at the end.

’Tsk, how did he... no, that’s not important. I need to control myself right now. Otherwise, I will cause an accident and confirm all Lynn’s suspicions.’

Lynn’s grip on my hand loosened enough for me to pull my arm out of it and I did not hesitate to do that.

"Tsk, you are free to make up whatever illusions you want about me. Just... do not come and annoy me like this again. Or you will find a harassment case filed against you."

I told the alpha before I went back toward exit. The alpha I was leaving behind had an almost dumb smile on his face as he watched me leave.

"Don’t worry. Your secret is safe with me. I promise to take it to my grave if you want me to. I will never betray you."

The alpha promised me but I did not turn around. After all, turning around now would be me acknowledging the alpha’s words behind me. And I, for one, had no intention of doing that.

So I kept walking until I reached the hotel room before throwing my body on my bed.

Then, I took out the black mass from my pocket and shook it to wake it up. The creature woke up within seconds and looked around the room. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

"Ugh, so we are back in human world? I thought you wanted to know more about that dungeon. I was so excited to go home as well... hey, be careful."

I shook the bottle to warn the black mass not to make any sudden comment.

"What was happening in that dungeon? Was that normal? And what did you do? Since when were you able to change forms like that and come out of the bottle?"

I asked the black mass, wanting to know more about what was happening. But the more I tried to get answers, the more the black mass seemed to be making.

Especially in regards to the information I currently had at hand.

"Are you trying to stall? I asked you a question and I expect answers from you. Now, hurry up and spill what you know about everything going on here?"

I told the black mass and it shook in my hands.

"A-Alright, I will tell you. But please, stop moving me around like that. Even I feel disoriented. And before we continue, can you call me by my name? It’s 0978. That’s the number of my hatch brood and birth."

The black mass told me and I suddenly felt even more irritated.

"I am not calling you by a number. I would much rather call you Kuro. Now, continue talking."

"Kuro—! Hey, I have a name... ahhhh, don’t rock me, fine, call me whatever you want. I will tell you the information you need from me as well. Just stop—"

The black mass... Kuro begged and I stopped shaking it around so much. Now, it was time to get some answers.
