Cepheus galaxy, Capital Star, Royal palace of the Lacey Empire.

Dressed in formal royal attire, the boy quickly walked along the corridor and into the meeting hall. He bowed to his father on the throne: Father, youre looking for me?

The man on the throne is the founder of the new era of the empire, His Majesty Xize.

Xize is only in his forties, but maintains his youthful appearance. As a man who has navigated countless storms, his posture carried the wisdom and calmness unique to an emperor. He is usually very strict with his eldest son, but today, he rarely showed a smile on his face as he said softly: Luo Fei, in another month, it will be your eighteenth birthday.

Luo Fei nodded. Yes, father.

Xize asked, What birthday present do you want?

Luo Fei smiled slightly and said, I want half a months vacation, is that okay?

Xize was very surprised. He didnt expect that the birthday gift his son wanted would be so simple.

Half a month off?

Xize stroked his chin thoughtfully.

Luo Fei has been extremely smart since he was a child. He inherited the powerful genes of Xize and Lin Yuan

MC/ML of ABO Cadets. At the age of five, his mental power exceeded 300, which is difficult for ordinary people to achieve, and can drive S-level mechs. Because of this, Xize placed extremely high expectations on his child.

Xize has been extremely strict with his eldest son over the years, training him as the heir to the throne. Since he was sensible, Xize has arranged intensive courses to hone his son in an all-round way. When many children were reading comic books at home, Luo Fei learned martial arts. When many of his peers could only do addition and subtraction, Luo Fei was already able to calculate very complicated mathematical formulas. When many children only knew that the current Emperors name was Xize, Luo Fei was already able to fluently recite the modern history of the Empire .

Because of this advanced education, his child walked ahead of his peers since he was a child, and is also more mature and stable than his peers.

He is obviously only an eighteen-year-old boy, but he is always so calm.

Maybe he really pushed him too hard? Treating him like the heir to the throne, and never even gave him more than three days vacation in all these years.

Facing his sons eyes, Xize couldnt help but feel a little guilty as he walked down from the throne to stand in front of his son.

Alphas grow very rapidly. Luo Fei is about the same height as his father, standing tall and straight. He also inherited the royal gene, and his eyes are seventy percent similar to His Majesty Xize, but there is still a trace of youthful youthfulness on his face.

No matter how calm his personality is, he is only eighteen years old.

Seeing the son that resembled him, he couldnt help smiling, and patted him on the shoulder. What are your plans during your vacation?

Luo Fei said bluntly: I have never left the Cepheus galaxy, and want to go out and explore before school starts.

Xize nodded in understanding. Although his son had everything he needed growing up, he has been living in a closed environment when attending the school for n.o.bles. During the holidays, he has to study various courses arranged by his father. After many years on Capital Star, he has never really played elsewhere.

Luo Fei just took part in the unified entrance examination of the empire some time ago, and got into the St. Romia Military Academy with full marks in all subjects. The semester starts in a month, so if he wants to go out for fun, he can only seize an opportunity in this last month.

Xize was silent for a moment, and then looked at him and asked, Luo Fei, do you think father has been too strict with you?

Luo Fei smiled and shook his head: I am the eldest son of the emperor, so I should set a good example for my younger brothers. Father being strict is because he hopes I can grow up as soon as possible.

Xizes heart was warmed by his sons understanding, and he reached out his hand to rub his hair intimately, and said in a low voice: Its best if you think like this. I will approve this vacation. You asked for half a month, but Ill give you one month. Go out for a bit, but remember to come back before your birthday. Father wants to hold a grand coming-of-age ceremony for you.

Luo Fei nodded immediately: I see, thank you, father.

Xize smiled slightly, turned around and walked back to the throne to sit down, and then said: There is one more thing to tell you. According to the previous rules of the royal family, all alpha princes who are about to grow up will undergo a genetic screening match to find a suitable omega marriage partner. The Omega a.s.sociation has just sent over your genetic matching results.

Luo Fei was startled. He frowned slightly, but quickly put on a calm expression, Does father mean that I need to follow the rules of the royal family and choose the highest matching omega, and get engaged at the coming-of-age ceremony at the age of eighteen?

Xize didnt reply, but asked another question, What do you think?

Luo Fei looked up at his father on the throne, and replied seriously: I dont want to get engaged so early, and I dont want to get engaged to an omega I dont like. Regardless of the matching results, it wont define how I choose my partner. I hope I can find my future partner with my own eyes, instead of relying on some mechanical data selection.

Although he is only eighteen years old, he speaks very decisively.

Xize appreciated his sons answer in his heart, but on the surface he pretended to be serious: Oh? So, you want to violate the rules of the royal family?

Luo Fei said: Such unreasonable rules should be abolished.

Xize fell silent.

The young man standing under the steps was tall and straight, neither humble nor overbearing, and his eyes were as bright as stars.

In a trance, Xize seemed to have returned to his youth. Standing in front of his father, he also said calmly and frankly:

If I cant even protect the person I love, then whats the use of being an alpha with excellent genes?

As expected of a son he raised.

Never compromise on matters of principle.

The corner of Xizes lips raised an inch, and he nodded. Very good. These unreasonable rules should indeed be abolished. Since you dont like it, father will abolish this genetic screening practice for you. Your princess, you decide for yourself.

Luo Fei looked up at his father in surprise, only to meet his fathers gentle gaze.

Although the father is strict, he loves his eldest son very much. Luo Feis heart warmed up, and he smiled. Thank you, father.

Xize said: Are you interested in seeing the screening results sent by the a.s.sociation?

The man on the throne flicked his finger on the touchscreen optical computer in front of him, opened a doc.u.ment, and a series of numbers quickly appeared on the huge virtual LCD projection screen.

In the end, Luo Fei is still a teenager at heart. Driven by curiosity, he took a step forward and quickly scanned the information on the screen.

The system screened the omega genetic data of all unmarried omegas of around 20 years of age, and finally found ten people who matched him by 90% or more. Because Luo Fei is talented and intelligent, and his mental strength is even more outstanding, the omega that can match him must also have very strong genes.

Many of the omega on the list are sons of generals or daughters of government officials. Luo Fei knows most of them, and those who hes never met, hes also heard their names before.

But he found that there was a very strange name: Mo Lin?

He read the name softly, and asked with some doubts: Who is this person? Ive never heard of him.

Xize said: You can look at his information.

In order to protect the privacy of the omegas, the information sent over is only a basic family introduction and genetic information. There are no images of the matches themselves.

Luo Fei opened it and took a look, there was only a one lined description

Mo Lin, twenty years old. The youngest son of Mo Qiming, the CEO of Fengyang Group. Omega father, deceased.

Luo Fei has naturally heard of the Fengyang Group. This is one of the largest consortiums in the empire, and the current boss is Mo Qiming.

Hundreds of years ago, the Imperial Army set up a dedicated mecha manufacturing factory. The mechas of the military department involved a lot of secrets and could not be released to the public. Therefore, high-intelligence mechas were gradually monopolized by the royal family and the military. But with a population of several billion in the empire, apart from the combat mechs needed by the military, civilians also have a high demand for home smart machines. The ancestors of the Mo family discovered this business opportunity and built a mecha manufacturing empire from scratch, starting from the simplest housework mechas.

In the beginning, it was just a small mecha manufacturing factory. After several generations of hard work, the scale of the enterprise grew bigger, and they also began developing high-end intelligent mechas.

Todays Fengyang Group has become one of the largest enterprises in the empire. Its main business is the research and development of high-intelligence mechs, intelligent programs, and holographic online games. They have a 30% market share in the industry, propelling the Mo family from a small unknown family in a remote galaxy to an imperial giant.

These were things he learned from economics gla.s.s. Words such as Fengyang Group and Mo Qiming often appear in the news of the financial channel, so Luo Fei is no stranger to this company. But he had never heard that Mr. Mo also had an omega son named Mo Lin.

Thinking of this, Luo Fei couldnt help smiling. No wonder I dont recognize him; hes a rich second generation.

He doesnt have a good impression of those rich second generation kids. Most of these rich second generation alphas he met before were playboys, surrounded by a lot of lovers. The omegas were vain and hypocritical, and only knew how to spend money to buy, buy, buy, and are pampered. Just thinking about it makes him feel upset.

Therefore, he has no interest in learning more about Mo Lin, a rich second-generation omega.

Luo Fei directly turned off the screen, raised his head and said, Father, this matchmaking system should be abolished as soon as possible.

Yes, I have promised you to abolish the matchmaking system, and this result will not be spread. Xize glanced at the time and said, You go back first. Father still has some things to deal with.

Yes. Luo Fei saluted respectfully, turned and left the meeting room.

At the same time, Fengyang Group headquarters.

The highest floor of the skysc.r.a.per, in the study at the corner, floor-to-ceiling windows occupying one wall cast the outside light into the house. A youth sat at the table with a coffee cup in his hand, squinting slightly like a lazy cat, as he read the dense data on the screen.

After a while, he put down his coffee and said, The Omega a.s.sociation suddenly pulled up my encrypted data. Judging from the trace, they ran a matching a.n.a.lysis between my genetic data and an alphas genetic data. The result is a match of more than 90%.

He seemed to be talking to himself, and looked at the screen very coldly. The First Prince Luo Fei is about to turn eighteen years old. Linking all these together, its not difficult to draw a conclusion that is to say, the Omega a.s.sociation is helping the First Prince perform genetic matching and screen out a partner who can be engaged to him. And I was selected.

The room was quiet for a moment, and then, a gentle mechanical voice came from next to his ear: Master, whats your next step?

The boy didnt speak. He lightly placed his slender fingers on the delete key, and the dense numbers on the screen were quickly cleared at a speed visible to the naked eye.

All traces of his entry were cleaned up, as if nothing had happened.

The mechanical voice continued: Do you want to destroy the genetic data about you in the a.s.sociations database?

The young man shook his head. Dont act rashly, and dont let them discover our existence. Ten omegas were selected, and most of them are from prominent backgrounds. The First Prince may not like me. He stood up from his seat, and walked to floor-to-ceiling windows with a coffee cup in his hand. Looking down at the bustling city at his feet, he raised the corners of his lips, and said with a faint smile, Lets just wait and see.

Being a princess? He has no interest.

In this business kingdom built by money and technology, he is the real king.

Start of a new project! I know I really, really shouldnt, but I couldnt help it. ?
