12 INFLUENCE

System knew the truth about his previous life and was the only one Julien trusted with everything. They were like friends who didn't seem like friends.

System wasn't a human being. It wasn't a mindless machine either. It was a blend of mind communication technology and artificial intelligence and this personal assistant was simply named OmegaSense 5.0.

Julien also found out that System was capable of feeling or more accurately displaying emotions, but barely understood them. It often sounded gruff, but without meaning any harm.

Of course, Julien knews he didn't have the right to choose to uninstall the System, but there weren't any missions he had to do, rewards or punishments. Because of that Julien wasn't too affected by the confirmation that he was bound to System. The whole transmigration was metaphysical enough. It didn't really matter why he was chosen. At the end of the day, he would have to go on.

Julien, to communicate with the System, didn't need to open his mouth. He said in his mind: "What do you think, how will the protagonist react when he learns of male lead acting like my big brother?"

[System: I do not know. Fortunately, I'm in your head, not his.]

Julien was spacing out: "That's absurd."

He knew there was something wrong with male lead's brain hole... especially when it comes to the protagonist. He didn't want that kind of moron and lame big brother.

[System: You are not following the original route and your relationship with Ioan caused the butterfly effect.]

Julien was not actually surprised by it. He asked System bluntly: "Did my transmigration here change anything else?"

[System: Yes and no at the same time.]

Julien gave a nod, as though agreeing with him: "Now I know everything."

[System: Hmph. It's about pheromones. Body and blood it's the original so their power remains the same, but pheromones are also the windows of the soul.]

Julien suddenly felt enlightened: "That means mine scent is different?"

[System: Exactly, core nature and impresion changed.]

He was curious about one more thing: "You mentioned something about powers. Tell me what this is about."

[System: Dominant omega is as rare as dominant alpha. Dominant individuals can control recessive subjects.]

Julien felt like Power Ranger in not common white color: "Can I also influence the dominant ones?"

[System: Not really, not dominant alphas. But the exception is heat cycle so don't think about walking without inhibitor and testing it.]

Julien was already going through his closet. A number of shopping bags were laying there. He opened them. Panda and tortoise pajamas were inside.

These were the things he had bought earlier in the shopping center.

Now then… which one should he wear first? Kung Fu Panda or Ninja Turtle?

He changed into the panda pajamas and made his way into Ioan's study.

The man was having business talk on video conference. His eyes darted instinctually over to the door when he heard it open and the moment he saw his little brother, his eyes widened and his body froze.

Ioan suddenly felt that all words had failed him: "You, you..."

The voice of the person speaking on the other line also suddenly quiet down. The person on the other side raised his gaze over omega attire, cautiously taking in his black and white pajama set.

Julien wasn't aware of the other person. He stood in front of Ioan and performed a monkey style pose of kung fu style. It may look comical, but it was one of the deadliest disciplines of wushu. It imitates the movements of apes, including facial expressions.

He lifted his head and stared unblinkingly at him. His stare was so unnerving that Ioan felt goosebumps rising on his skin: "I can play with several Kung Fu weapons pretty well including swords, spears, axes and nunchucks."

Julien's expression was cool: "But every Kung Fu practitioner needs to keep in mind that the benevolent is invincible."

Ioan's lack of response filled Julien with disappointment: "You may continue doing your own thing, don't mind me."

He tossed out before turning around to leave with dropped shoulders: "I have no influence."

Since this tactic was ineffective, he would have to think of something else.

[System: You know that has nothing to do with pheromones...]

Julien thought gloomily: "My dreams no one can take away."

Ioan finally snapped out of his daze.

In the past those cute children's pajamas in the shape of animals mom used to want Julien to wear and he was always willing. He did follow him closely from behind looking triumphantly and showing a 'savage' expresion. Recalling this scenes, Ioan felt that his heart was going to melt.

How nice would it be if he had taken a picture of him like that and kept it as a souvenir?

He hastily said a few words into the computer before hanging up and chasing Julien.

Meanwhile, Lucius was already talking on the phone, giving instructions to someone: "Let me know everything you can dig up about what's happened to and around him abroad."

He didn't want to do an investigation on Julien, but he was even more unwilling to let go.

Since birth Julien should have lived a carefree life as a spoiled child of the wealthy family. He should have been powerless to do anything, but the current him was more capable and knew not so basic fighting skills.

Lucius sat on the sofa and began to think and lastly thought about his indifference and disdain towards him…

He began to subvert his impression of Julien.

He was not weak and naively trusting youth, but the fact he was omega still disgusted him.
