He did not manipulate him. He straight up asked for it unlike someone who invented some fictional fetish and training to get led.
I am not defending any other male lead. He clearly made up an excuse to bring the MC to him without telling him about his rut or his real reason, that is manipulation… it is also clear that he knows MC is easily coerced and a pushover and even overpowered him into a position of dominance and submission to further push him into having sex
- Few chapters ago, he told the MC he was going in rut. In the current chapter, the boss is said to be absent for "alpha issues".
- He "clearly" did not. If you use clearly the way we use it, you'll clearly see he did not.
He "clearly" asked for papers, dozed off, woke up dizzy and asked for a favor as his fever grew. You are assuming the manipulation even though he has yet "clearly" (indubitably) shown such position unlike the dude we "clearly" saw googling for how to turn a beta into a omega. If it was that "clear", there wouldn't be any room for debate.
- How would even know so much about the MC's sexual life?! LIKE COME ON! They ain't even that intimate!
Even though this whole situation is a red flag, I disagree with your characterization.
Remember when I told you about the mischaracterization?
ew he literally only called him to just to try to manipulate him into having sex
