After more than an hour of wild action, Jade Swann finally reached her peak with Shawn Young's muffled roar, letting out a blissful scream. Her body convulsed, drenched in fragrant sweat, and collapsed limply into his arms. With that, the pent-up resentment in her heart also faded away.
"Ugh—I'm exhausted! You're way too fierce, no wonder you have so many women and still can't get enough!" Jade Swann lay on Shawn Young like a satisfied octopus after their passionate session, tracing circles on his chest with her finger. But she didn't dare move too much, because she could still feel that thing deep inside her, huge and hard. If she made a wrong move, Shawn would go wild on her again.
"Uh—Jade, you—you know about my other women?" Shawn Young felt pretty awkward. After all, Jade Swann was already his woman, but he hadn't expected her to know about his affairs with so many others. Shawn felt like his secrets had been exposed and was a bit guilty.
"What's wrong? You think I'm stupid? I know you have all those women, but I still threw myself at you anyway, didn't I?" Jade Swann saw his expression and, being straightforward, immediately voiced what was on his mind.
"—Uh—Jade—actually, I did that on purpose just now!" Shawn Young finally admitted what he'd been holding back.
"Mm—I know. Honestly, I used to wonder the same thing—if loving you was even worth it! It's not just because of Fiona, but because you have so many women. I'm just one of them, and every single one is as beautiful as me. Some are even more capable and powerful. So I kept thinking, no matter how much I like you, I can't have you all to myself. Because I know, the better a man is, the more women he'll attract!" Jade Swann lifted her head and looked at Shawn Young, speaking frankly.
"So—knowing all that, why are you still with me—" Shawn Young asked nervously.
"At first, I didn't get why I ended up with you so impulsively, but now I understand—there are two reasons. One, I like you and don't want any regrets in my life. Two, you're bold, strong, and bossy—and you have real guts!" Jade Swann said seriously.
"Bold, strong, bossy—uh—are those even good qualities? Do women actually like that? You do?!" Shawn Young couldn't believe his cocky attitude was so 'popular' with women.
"It's not just me, Jade Swann, who likes that—all women do! Women will always be women, who doesn't want a truly strong man to protect her? So keep that style up! As the man loved by so many amazing women, you need ambition. As long as you have enough strength, you can protect what belongs to you! In this world, if you have real power, who cares about what others think? You need ambition, and a heart big enough for the world! Only then can you stand above the crowd! That's why we women who've been close with you are willing to give so much for you!" Jade Swann finally said what she'd been thinking for a long time.
"Ambition! A heart for the world! Standing above the crowd—can I really do that?" Shawn Young gazed up at the misty sky, muttering to himself.
"Anything is possible! As a man, you need confidence in yourself! My master once said—youth is your greatest asset! You've got luck on your side, so make the most of every advantage, build a solid foundation, and gather your strength step by step. That's how you make something of yourself! A real man carves out his own world! You're my man, Jade Swann's, and the only one for so many amazing women, so you need to be strong enough to protect us!" Jade Swann lay on his chest, speaking earnestly.
"Mm—you’re right! I’ll work towards those goals—" Shawn Young’s eyes shone with confidence as he nodded.
As they spoke, a sudden burst of gunfire and explosions echoed from afar, rapid and relentless like popcorn popping. The chaos seemed to be intensifying. Jade Swann was startled, then climbed off Shawn Young, tilted her head to listen carefully, and said, "Uh—the gunfire is coming from less than ten kilometers from Raveneye Mountain. There’s a pretty big battle going on over there!"
"Oh! It’s a war between three different armies. The Kachin Tribe’s forces are launching a fierce assault, and Nick Carter’s troops on the outer defenses of Raveneye Mountain are taking heavy casualties—they’re falling back and fleeing toward the mountain. But behind the Kachin Tribe, there’s another massive, well-equipped army advancing. They’re all in matching olive-green uniforms with blue hats and insignias. Now they’re fighting the Kachin Tribe too, so the Kachin forces are caught in a two-front battle, attacked from both sides." Shawn Young sat up, looking into the distance.
"Huh? How do you know all that?" Jade Swann asked Shawn Young, curious.
"Oh, I’m using the Heavenly Eye Technique. That’s how I’m seeing what’s happening—" Shawn Young replied.
"Wow, Heavenly Eye Technique is really handy! So what’s happening now?" Jade Swann caught on and kept asking.
"Hmm?—Why are there people everywhere? Looks like a lot of them are unarmed civilians, just running for their lives. Many are fleeing toward Raveneye Mountain with the retreating troops—uh—damn, some civilians are getting killed by mistake!" Shawn Young frowned suddenly.
"Uh—a lot of civilians are getting killed by mistake?! That’s really serious!" Jade Swann’s eyes widened.
"Yeah, it is. Take a look yourself!" Shawn Young said, channeling his energy and sending a beam of white light into Jade Swann’s forehead, temporarily unlocking the Heavenly Eye Technique so she could observe the battlefield. She was more experienced in these matters than he was.
"Oh—the Kachin Tribe’s forces are launching a strong attack on Raveneye Mountain. The biggest army you mentioned chasing the Kachin is actually a Burmese government force, three divisions strong, well-equipped with automatic cannons and light armored vehicles! Looks like the Kachin Tribe can’t hold off the government army, so they’re attacking Nick Carter’s remaining troops hard, hoping to take Raveneye Mountain as a defensive base against the Burmese army. The fleeing civilians are villagers from the surrounding area—there’s fighting everywhere down the mountain, so they’re running our way. Now it’s a three-way battle! And all the forces are heading for Raveneye Mountain, so things are getting more and more complicated—" With the Heavenly Eye Technique activated and her own energy added, Jade Swann could see everything within ten kilometers around Raveneye Mountain clearly. After observing, she reached her conclusion.
