Chosen Mate of the Beastmen Empire by Lewis Reed

The online event was in full swing. Though Nyx was just a minor character, her role's popularity was off the charts. The livestream was packed with fans, and the host kept calling her out to interact.

Since some wild shippers loved pairing her with the male lead, the organizers sneakily added a Q&A segment for just the two of them. The questions didn't need to be flirty-just a little interaction was enough for the shippers.

Nyx had no clue about any of this. At first, the male lead played along, dropping vague hints to hype the ship. But Nyx never took the bait, leaving him winking at a brick wall. He could only sigh and smile wryly

The chat still went nuts shipping them.

[Nyx is so clueless, she's killing me with cuteness.]

[Nyx has definitely never dated!)

[Of course not! Our princess is only eighteen this year!]

[The guy looks so lost!]

(Hahahaha! He's sighing up a storm!]

[She's still young-The dude needs to step it up! You're close to her, so win her over first.]

A big, bold comment suddenly crashed the party: [

The die-hard shippers weren't having it.

[Ugh, so annoying!]

[Can you get lost?]

isn't his wife.]

[Need a reminder? This is their duo interview livestream.]

[Stop policing us. We'll ship what we want!]

[Wait. That tone doesn't sound like a female lead stan. More like a Nyx solo stan.] [Solo stans can scram too!]

Kai couldn't make sense of the chat's gibberish, but he could tell they were pairing Nyx with some other guy. When he denied it, they cursed him out.

The furious leopard nearly crushed his phone. He arrived at the event venue with cold eyes and a blank face, radiating a "don't mess with me" vibe.

A jittery security guard stepped up to stop him, but before he could ask for ID, the event organizer's representative stubbed out his cigarette and hurried over. "Mr. Kai, is that you?"

"Please, come in, come in," the representative said with a big smile, ushering Kai inside.

This guy wasn't in entertainment, but his influence was massive-billions in assets, connections across industries, and big shots bowing to him since he'd arrived in the country.

'Why would someone like him show up unannounced?' The representative probed curiously. Kai kept it short. "Looking for someone. Nyx, where's Nyx?"
