O Pretends To Be B for the Violent Admiral – Chapter 67: The Secretary Protects His Man

After Luo Ran returned to the room, his heart was still beating a bit fast.

Luo Ran thought to himself, if he and Lucas were ordinary lovers, he could talk to Lucas about those videos a little more frankly.

But they had been together for so many years, and always had a serious superior-subordinate relationship. Suddenly changing the pattern still felt quite……awkward.

Luo Ran felt ashamed to talk about these topics with his boss.

Like this……wouldn’t it seem like he was conservative and boring?

Luo Ran frowned slightly.

But it seemed even weirder to go back and talk to Lucas about it now.

Ah……when it came to watching videos, Luo Ran suddenly remembered that he hadn’t read the short stories that Shen Xiluo helped him get from Rong Duo.

But the notebook was back at his home in the capital.

Luo Ran scratched his cheek.

He…..could take a good look when he went home?

After this small episode, an emergency notification came the next day on Luobing.

— An ice mine in Southeast Luobing was being raided by star pirates.

Not only the ice mine, but the star pirates also invaded a nearby small town and took a group of hostages.

Just like the usual looting, but this time there were more hostages.

Presumably, since the star pirates had lost UNK, they were continuing to attack ice mines.

Mu Yuan immediately assembled his army and prepared to go.

The Southeast Region happened to be were the Empire and Luobing met, and Luobing’s army now belonged to Lucas, so he planned to go along with Mu Yuan.

“Wait for me to return.”

Beside the battleship, Lucas opened his arms to Luo Ran and smiled. “Come here, give me a hug and some good luck.”

Luo Ran stepped forward and hugged Lucas.

“Three days. I’ll come back as soon as possible,” Lucas said in a low voice. “Take care of yourself.”

Luo Ran chuckled: “Don’t be anxious, Admiral. Leave the capital to me.”

“En.”

This trip was dangerous. The Lion Hunters had made a fortune in the capital and purchased a lot of weapons and equipment, and the star pirates were being continually suppressed now, holding their breath, and a small town had been occupied.

If Luo Ran wanted to follow, Lucas would naturally have a way to protect him, but the capital was unstable now, and Cyril wanted to take over the military.

Luo Ran consciously proposed to go back to the capital, where he was effective and good at what he did.

Then Lucas and Mu Yuan boarded the battleship, and it took off slowly along with countless troops and aircraft.

They drifted away, and ultimately vanished into the horizon.

Luo Ran paused for a moment, and then turned to board his own aircraft — returning to the capital.

He and Zhou Mingjing were together on this trip, both returning to the capital in the end.

Inside the ship, Zhou Mingjing spied Luo Ran sitting alone on the edge of the deck reviewing official documents, so he sat opposite him.

“Your Highness.” Luo Ran nodded.

Zhou Mingjing crossed his legs, saying with raised eyebrows: “The Admiral is willing to let you go with me. A decision has been made?”

Luo Ran just smiled and didn’t directly answer.

Zhou Mingjing didn’t mind, either. He tore open a packet of nutrient solution and drank it while sitting by his side, opening his terminal to review official documents.

The two of them were sitting in the best position, which was also where the battleship leader preferred to stay.

There was a natural observation deck, where the surrounding could be viewed, but it was not as cramped and boring as the monitoring room.

. . . . . .

The battleship sailed for two days and reached the capital smoothly.

Lucas and the others must have already gotten to the small planet in the Southeast.

The expedition was in Mu Yuan’s name, so no one was on the Star Network praying for blessings, and there were no fireworks or sky lanterns.

After disembarking the battleship, Luo Ran went straight to military headquarters.

“Secretary Luo……! You’re finally back!”

Upon the battleship’s landing, Lu Cheng immediately brought people out to greet him.

From his tone, Luo Ran gleaned joy……and resentment.

Then Luo Ran saw Cyril walking behind him.

“Secretary Luo.” Cyril nodded at him with a smile.

Luo Ran smiled.

He pretty much understood.

“It’s good that Secretary Luo is back, so that I can have personal discussions with him when making decisions.” Cyril said warmly: “I’ve taken over the military department these past two days, and there are many changes I want to make, but Adjutant Lu seems to be more conventional.”

Lu Cheng stood aside and said stiffly: “I think it was pretty good before.”

Naturally, neither Lu Cheng nor the other people in the barracks were willing to listen to Cyril. They only recognized Lucas, and if Lucas wasn’t there, then Luo Ran.

But not Cyril.

The officer brought by Cyril scoffed coldly: “It’s good that Secretary Luo is back. Adjutant Lu and the other adjutants are unwilling to cooperate these days.”

Lu Cheng also lowered his face and said: “I’m happier than you are that Secretary Luo is back.”

Luo Ran raised an eyebrow.

It seemed that many things had happened in the past two days. Lu Cheng and Cyril were so at odds that they didn’t even want to make a superficial effort.

Moreover, Cyril’s wording was rather subtle, saying that he wanted to “discuss” rather than “listen to his opinions.”

Luo Ran said with a smile: “It’s our fault. Adjutant Lu, why didn’t you prepare our usual welcome ceremony for a new officer taking his station?”

“……..Ah?”

Lu Cheng was stunned for a moment, and then realized, this is really Secretary Luo!

Lu Cheng immediately hooked his lips into a smile. “I’ll do it now!”

Cyril frowned slightly: “What……?”

Luo Ran explained: “It’s a military department tradition. The daily pastime of the barracks is fighting in the arena, and anyone can participate. Whenever there is a new officer, we will also let him on the stage to fight others, so that he can quickly integrate with everyone.”

Cyril’s expression immediately became complicated, and he turned around to ask: “Is there such a tradition?”

“……..Yes,” Cyril’s adjutant whispered. “There really is.”

This was already a well-known tradition. Cyril couldn’t refuse, firstly because it would be too embarrassing, and secondly because it would indirectly deny that he was a member of the military department.

Luo Ran smiled and said: “It’s our negligence. We didn’t consider that you are also newcomers.”

“…….” The smile on Cyril’s face immediately stiffened.

Wang Qiuyang followed Luo Ran to say with a smile: “Right, ah! I also watched the video that day. His Royal Highness said that Mr. Cyril is the most suitable candidate, not only because he is the Admiral’s elder brother, but as the eldest Aldor son, he must be as capable as the Admiral!”

Luo Ran smiled harder: “Adjutant Wang seems to want to fight Mr. Cyril.”

“That’s right.” Wang Qiuyang hehe’d. “Isn’t it said that Mr. Cyril can fight like our Admiral? I won’t hold back……!”

Cyril: “…….”

Cyril couldn’t smile at all.

. . . . . .

The arena.

Cyril stood as if facing something far beyond his abilities, with Lu Cheng opposite him.

Everyone below was cheering.

Wang Qiuyang stood aside and said: “Mr. Cyril, you can do it, ah! I’ll wait until you beat Lao Lu into the ground, and then it’s my turn!”

Wang Qiuyang spared no effort in poisoning the milk.

Lu Cheng covertly glanced at Luo Ran under the stage. The other party smiled with a slight nod, and even winked.

Having received permission to show no mercy, Lu Cheng grinned. After Wang Qiuyang’s signal to start, he rushed at Cyril.

Bam!

Cyril was of the Aldor family, after all. He had graduated from the military academy and had been on the battlefield for three months before, so he had naturally learned how to fight.

However, he was beaten down by Lu Cheng in one blow, and fell to the ground.

It was a good start.

Wang Qiuyuang: “Pfft.”

Luo Ran lowered his eyes.

He had always been restrained in demeanor, and always told Lucas not to be too impulsive.

But this was different.

Cyril’s face was slightly red at this moment inside the ring. He got up, and hadn’t even taken a defensive posture yet when he was knocked down again by Lu Cheng.

It could be seen that Cyril really tried his best, and could occasionally block Lu Cheng’s moves, but the gap was still evident.

Lu Cheng pointed to Wang Qiuyang and said: “Lao Wang, where is your energy, ah? You yelled so softly that Mr. Cyril didn’t hear it, so he didn’t know we had started!”

Wang Qiuyang said: “How about this, let’s change positions. You come down to call, and I’ll go up to fight?”

“Okay, ah!”

After Cyril fell for the third time, his adjutant, surnamed Chen, was so angry that he cursed on the spot.

This was too embarrassing.

If it really went on like this today, then how could he and Cyril last half a month here? He feared they really wouldn’t have the right to speak in the future.

Cyril’s adjutant immediately stepped forward to request a fight.

“Allow me.” Luo Ran said with a smile, “They played a round with Mr. Cyril, and they’re tired.”

Everyone below held back their laughter.

Everyone knew that Luo Ran was taught by Lucas, so his ability must not be bad, but Luo Ran seldom showed it. Adjutant Chen said strangely: “This……I don’t fight civilians.”

“It’s fine.” Luo Ran habitually tied his hair back and straightened the collar of his shirt before jumping into the ring. “I’m durable.”

“Pfft…….”

The people below suppressed their laughter even more.

There were also some people who were really worried about Luo Ran. Cyril himself was incompetent, but his adjutant was quite good.

Adjutant Chen was originally a member of Lucas’s military troops, and a candidate for adjutant, with very good skills. It was only that his character was not good. It was said that he almost violated an Omega, so Lucas had him punished with army batons, and he was beaten half to death before being driven out.

It stood to reason that an attempted violation shouldn’t have ended up like this, but Lucas could not tolerate certain things or people.

Later, Cyril saw that his ability was really outstanding, so he asked him to come over to his side on the grounds that he was also a member of the Aldor family.

Adjutant Chen’s heart was full of resentment, and Luo Ran was well-known as Lucas’s “lover.”

Lu Cheng and Wang Qiuyang looked at each other with slight frowns.

Cyril stood aside and clenched his fists tensely, full of anticipation.

“Firstly.” The big, tall adjutant Chen said, “We’re just sparring, so you can’t just turn your head and complain to the Admiral. The Admiral doesn’t let anybody in the Empire get a pass.”

Luo Ran smiled.

“Okay.”

“Start!”

Whoosh—

At the moment Wang Qiuyang shouted, Adjutant Chen saw the person in front of him vanish.

The next moment, Luo Ran’s fist was about to hit his nose.

Adjutant Chen was taken aback, and automatically raised his head and protected his face. This exposed his waist, which was punched hard.

“Wu…….!”

Adjutant Chen’s eyes widened, and he almost fell to his knees.

Luo Ran had created a diversion!

There were immediate cheers below.

Adjutant Chen had originally underestimated the enemy, but now he regained twelve points of spirit.

The two came and went with no distinction between superiors and inferiors in the ring.

The people below were dumbfounded.

Wang Qiuyuang and Lu Cheng almost held their breaths as they watched, and didn’t bother to pretend. Their expressions became heavy when Luo Ran was suppressed, and they couldn’t help applauding when Luo Ran gained the upper hand.

After all, Luo Ran was an Omega, and his figure was rather slender. This was better for light footwork, but he was slightly inferior in strength.

Adjutant Chen abruptly caught Luo Ran’s fist that hit his stomach, and stretched out his hand without hesitation, about to wrap his arm around Luo Ran’s waist and knock him down.

“Too bad.” Lu Cheng frowned slightly.

Luo Ran’s strength was inferior to that of Adjutant Chen, and it would be difficult if the place where he exerted his core strength was grasped.

However, at the next moment, Luo Ran jumped straight up on the spot with astonishing strength, and arced up to ride directly on Adjutant Chen’s shoulders.

“Ah—!”

“Take him down! Secretary Luo, take him down!”

“Oooooh!”

Adjutant Chen grabbed a handful of air. His neck was pinched by Luo Ran’s legs, and he was about to counterattack when Luo Ran hooked his legs and leaned back.

Bam—!

Luo Ran led Adjutant Chen to make a 180-degree turn, and used his leg strength to immediately knock him to the ground.

Adjutant Chen’s big, strong body hit the ground, and Luo Ran quickly pressed his knees against the other’s neck, suppressing him.

“Three ! !”

“Two ! !”

“One ! ! !”

“Secretary Luo wins!”

Luo Ran smiled and said: “As agreed, it’s just a spar, you can’t turn your head and complain to Mr. Cyril. Our admiral won’t fight his brother.”

Adjutant Chen: “…….”

Adjutant Chen’s face changed colors, and he gave a low curse.

But he couldn’t help giving Luo Ran a few more glances.

Fuck, he was pretty good-looking.

“Fuck!!” Wang Qiuyuang slapped his thigh fiercely. “Secretary Luo is amazing! As expected of the Admiral’s family, why are you so abnormal!”

Lu Cheng was also stunned, and grabbed Wang Qiuyang: “So cool! So cool!”

Only then did the two understand.

It would be rumored that Cyril couldn’t beat his adjutant, and the strongest adjutant under his hand couldn’t beat a civil servant.

It sounded so goddamn embarrassing.

This was obviously a simple and crude way of dealing with things, but after this, Cyril really couldn’t give orders and take charge of things in the barracks.

Wang Qiuyang glanced at Lu Cheng, thinking that Secretary Luo didn’t accompany the Admiral this time, and his purpose in coming back was to defend the power of the military department and not give up a single cent to others.

“Secretary Luo ! ! !”

“Secretary Luo ! !”

The cheers below seemed to be ready to overturn the arena.

. . . . . .

Luo Ran’s battle in the barracks became famous.

In this way, Luo Ran’s abnormal combat strength attracted a lot of attention and spread on the Star Network.

XXXX: Secretary Luo is amazing ! ! I heard that when he competed with Cyril’s adjutant, everyone was blown away!

XXXX: Aaaaaah, wife got in a fight, ah! I have a friend who wants to watch it! Wuwuwu the Admiral is so blessed.

XXXX: The Admiral’s secretary is able to take care of daily life, the only difference is that he isn’t an Omega and can’t have children.

So Luo Ran could see that there seemed to be more eyes on him these days.

He still did his usual work as three days passed, and Lucas had still not contacted Luo Ran.

Luo Ran sat at the desk and tapped his pen lightly, thinking things over.

His workplace had been moved from the office to the barracks, and he had already made an appointment with Yu Han.

Prince Kleiman of Saturn finally replied to him, and made an appointment to meet him when he came back in a few days.

Luo Ran rubbed his temples in distress.

He had been deceiving Lucas from the beginning, and up to this point, one lie had turned into countless lies, and it was a bit difficult to put a stop to them.

Lucas hated being deceived by others the most. He got so angry when Luo Ran passively lied to him before, and ignored him. If they hadn’t been together, there would have been a lot of trouble.

And after Lucas found out about his concealed Omega status, Lucas was also so angry that he teased and bullied him in turn. If it wasn’t because he was injured and extremely vulnerable, truly in need of Lucas’s pheromones, there would have been no end to this matter.

Therefore, if this secret was revealed rashly, would Lucas be angry, uncomfortable, and even embarrassed?

Luo Ran thought that if it were him, he would be very angry.

He would feel that he had been tricked.

He must find a very good moment to confess.

Then when should that be……? After his birthday? In case he got hurt someday, should he take the opportunity to say it?

Luo Ran picked up the pen and twirled it in his hand.

Not to mention this, Lucas hadn’t contacted him privately for three days.

But there was nothing wrong with the battle reports from the front lines.

Luo Ran rested his chin in his hand.

Why wasn’t he talking to him?

Didn’t Lucas miss him?

Was he busy fighting?

Luo Ran was taken aback.

No, Lucas used to be like this too, so it wasn’t surprising.

He was behaving rather strange.

It was only three days.

Luo Ran was thinking wildly when Lu Cheng knocked hard on the door and opened it. 

“…….Secretary Luo!” Lu Cheng panted, “The Admiral’s back!”

“H-h-he came back quietly, he’s injured!”

Click. The pen in Luo Ran’s hand fell to the ground as he stood up and shouted, “Where is he!”

“The battleship landed in the 5b air bay…..hey, Secretary Luo, wait for me!”

. . . . . .

Luo Ran pushed open the door of the battleship and saw the accompanying doctor standing aside, injecting Lucas with medicine.

Lucas’s body was unscathed, but he lay with his eyes closed, presumably sedated and unconscious.

The air was saturated with tobacco pheromones, and they were even a little disordered.

Lu Cheng felt oppressed as soon as he came in, and there was no way to get close to Lucas.

Lucas’s pheromones were unconsciously attacking any Alpha who stepped into his territory at the moment, at the same time making the Beta doctor uncomfortable.

Seeing Luo Ran, the doctor said with a bitter expression: “The Admiral’s rut has come. A normal rut would be fine, but the Admiral was spiritually damaged somehow, so he is now entering a period of pheromone disorder collapse.

SSS Alphas and Omegas had always been prone to spiritual breakdown and pheromone disorders, not to mention Lucas’s spiritual wounds after being poisoned when he was young.

Thinking about it now, he was entering his susceptibility period and was spiritually fragile, and something happened on the battlefield this time to make it break out.

Luo Ran stepped forward, his blood a little chilled.

The last time this happened to Lucas was when he returned from the battlefield and Luo Ran had just taken office as a secretary.

“Secretary Luo……” Lu Cheng was also a little nervous.

Luo Ran took a deep breath: “Go and call Dr. Shen over, don’t tell anyone else.”

“Yes!”

Wang Qiuyang had also rushed over and stood by the door, saying with a grimace: “Cyril heard that a battleship has landed and plans to come over!”

“Don’t let him come here.”

Luo Ran sat down by the bed and said coldly: “Guard well.”

This was not the Marshal’s Manor, nor was it Lucas’s childhood.
