    An unexpected silence fell over the chaotic fire station. Dane looked around at his colleagues sprawled on the floor, groaning. They were drenched in sweat, and some tried to get up, only to collapse again.

    What the hell happened here? 

    He couldn’t make sense of the situation. He couldn’t believe that his colleagues, who were in peak physical condition, had been so easily defeated. Even though he had actually seen it with his own eyes.

    What was even more unbelievable was the fact that this man was standing before him. Dane narrowed his eyes, glaring at him. It was the same man he had encountered at the Extreme Alpha pheromone party a few days ago. The one who had been laughing like a madman, releasing potent pheromones in the middle of a fire without a care in the world, causing two Omegas to lose their minds.

    I can’t believe this bastard is Grayson Miller.

    He’d naturally assumed it was a fleeting encounter and had casually knocked him unconscious, never expecting to run into him again.

    But he didn’t have time to dwell on it. The man’s purple eyes seemed to darken even more, and he immediately swung the crowbar he was holding. The heavy whoosh sound of metal cutting through the air pierced his ears.

    “Whoa!”

    Dane instinctively ducked down. Narrowly avoiding the blow, he immediately grabbed the object he had prepared next to him and…

    Fssssshhh!

    “Gah!”

    The compressed powder burst out mercilessly. The white powder, expelled with such intense pressure that it swallowed the very air, scattered in all directions, carried by the fierce wind. Like a thick fog, it filled the room completely, making it nearly impossible to see even an inch ahead.

    A bubbling, monstrous scream burst from Grayson’s mouth. The fine powder clung to his skin, invading his nose, mouth, and throat in an instant. But Dane, with an indifferent expression, continued to spray the contents of the fire extinguisher at him without hesitation, having already pulled the safety pin.

    The man who had been causing a commotion finally lost his fighting spirit and started coughing uncontrollably. Only then did Dane stop spraying, but Grayson’s coughing didn’t subside easily. Barely able to catch his breath, he glared at Dane with bloodshot eyes, gritting his teeth.

    “You… do you even know what you just did?”

    His voice was forcibly suppressed, as if trying to contain his rage, but anyone could tell he was furious beyond measure. The men sprawled on the floor turned pale and didn’t know what to do, but Dane, facing the enraged Grayson head-on, remained completely unfazed.

    “I just stopped a fight.”

    At those casual words, Grayson’s barely contained anger exploded.

    “Are you crazy? Don’t you know you’re not supposed to spray a fire extinguisher at a person? And you’re a firefighter on top of that!”

    Despite the man’s threatening aura, Dane simply looked at him indifferently.

    “You’re an Extreme Alpha. Aren’t you immune to drugs and stuff?”

    “Damn it, this isn’t a drug! What kind of bullshit is that? You bastard, you did this on purpose, didn’t you? Huh?!”

    Grayson continued to yell. He was acting like a madman, a stark contrast to his previously composed demeanor. His reaction was so aggressive that it seemed like he might strangle Dane at any moment, but Dane, still looking bored, replied lazily.

    “Did I? I guess I did.”

    At that moment, Grayson completely lost what little restraint he had left.

    “You fucking bastard! I’ll kill you!”

    Grayson roared and lunged at Dane, as if to break his neck. Dane, however, continued to watch him with a bored expression.

    Haa.

    He let out a short sigh and adjusted his grip on the fire extinguisher. Just as he was about to smash it against Grayson’s head…

    “What the hell are you doing?!”

    At the chief’s angry voice, they both froze. Grayson, about to swing the crowbar at Dane’s face, and Dane, about to smash Grayson’s head with the fire extinguisher. The chief scanned the scene—his subordinates in shambles, furniture broken and scattered everywhere—and let out a disbelieving sigh. He seemed momentarily stunned by the absurd sight, then, snapping out of it, glared at the source of the chaos.

    “What in the world is going on here? Why are you fighting? I allowed you to work here for a year, but I didn’t give you permission to cause mayhem!”

    The fire chief’s words were perfectly reasonable. When he unusually granted exceptional hiring privileges, it came with conditions. This time too, he had repeatedly emphasized to Grayson that he should be quiet and not cause trouble for the other firefighters. He had thought Grayson would at least behave for a month, but for god’s sake, this had happened in less than half a day.

    And that wasn’t the end. His reprimand now turned to Dane.

    “Dane, put that down this instant! How could you even think of hitting someone with equipment? When you got into trouble at the police station, I didn’t say anything and I even sent a lawyer to help! I tolerated you showing up at work at this late hour, but what is this as soon as you arrive?! How could you disappoint me like this?”

    The firefighters averted their gaze, silent in the face of the fire chief’s furious outburst. Dane reluctantly lowered the fire extinguisher, and Grayson also dropped the crowbar. As everyone nervously watched the chief’s reaction, he fell into deep contemplation.

    Should I just forget about the donation and everything?

    Seeing the pathetic state of his subordinates, he wondered what was the point of new equipment and vehicles. He knew exactly who had started this situation. Grayson Miller, who had used his father’s influence to get this job, was very unlikely to cause such a huge incident on his first day. That meant his precious firefighters were the ones responsible for this mess, and he hadn’t anticipated such strong resistance.

    Even after I specifically warned them.

    But it was impossible to hold Grayson Miller accountable and fire him now. Above all, he was dealing with Ashley Miller. If his son was unfairly fired after being hired through connections, there was no telling what Ashley would do. He might demand astronomical compensation for damages. Besides that, there were thousands of other creative ways he could make their lives hell. Especially if he found out that his son had ended up in such a miserable state.

    He might just strap me into an electric chair.

    “Ugh.”

    At the horrifying thought, the fire chief let out an involuntary groan. He closed his eyes and shook his head, then cast a sharp gaze over the bunch of troublemakers in front of him.

    “I asked you all to just endure for a single year, but you couldn’t even manage that? Where the hell did you leave your brains?! If you have any, use them to think!”

    As much as he wanted to lash out at these overgrown idiots, this wasn’t the time. He had to resolve this situation first. Yes, starting with Grayson Miller.

    “…Are you alright? Are you hurt anywhere…?”

    The fact that he had to be this cautious and watch his words made his heart sink, but it was already too late. The moment he accepted Ashley Miller’s offer, his future was sealed. This situation would likely repeat itself endlessly for the next year.

    He examined Grayson with a sigh, but he could only feel despair. He groaned again, then steeled his resolve and looked at his grown-up subordinates.

    “Everyone dismissed! You, go wash up in the shower room. The rest of you, go get your injuries treated! Dane, clean this up! I’ll see you all at the welcome party tonight. Got it? We’ll just pretend this never happened and start over there, alright? Let’s stop these childish games and act like adults!”

    After pointing in different directions and separating the troublemakers, the fire chief finally breathed a sigh of relief as he watched the disgruntled adult men grumbling and dispersing.

    I knew it.

    He then thought, his face pale, that he had known Grayson Miller would turn his peaceful fire station into chaos. He had known!

    The images of a brand-new firetruck and new fire suits flashed before his eyes as he clutched his thinning hair in despair. He had also planned to replace the old axe with a new one, get five new fire extinguishers, and buy additional oxygen tanks…
