"Don't push us too far! Huaxia isn't that easy to bully!" Daniel Deng slammed the table, and instantly every Huaxia soldier present pointed their guns at Jessica. But Ryan Ling didn't move at all.
"So, what? You want to see fireworks over a Huaxia city tonight?" Jessica smiled faintly and whipped out that red button again. Everyone's face instantly changed—clearly, Jessica had her hand on Huaxia's weak spot. And with those remote detonators, it's obvious she has more than one; even if you snatched or smashed one, it wouldn't help at all.
"Enough! Put the guns down—let's talk this out!" Ryan Ling spoke up at last. No matter what Huaxia did right now, they'd lose. The only move left was to stall by offering himself up first.
Ryan Ling followed up: "Jessica, I'll go with you. You all know how much I'm worth—if I'm in your hands, it's basically like holding all of Huaxia hostage. So all your other tricks are pointless!"
"Smart. No wonder they call you Huaxia's number one expert!" Jessica grinned, her hand sliding—almost unconsciously—down Ryan's chest, her eyes full of open flirtation.
"Master Ling, you can't go with them!" The other senior officers all shouted, and Daniel Deng looked full of regret—clearly, he shouldn't have invited Ryan here today.
"It's fine. I think their real goal tonight is me. I'll go with them," Ryan Ling said without hesitation, turning away.
"Hold on—take this. I know exactly how strong you are; normal people can't touch you. I'm not about to bring a live grenade on board." Jessica said, tossing Ryan a set of iron chains, thick with sealing power.
"Ryan, those chains are no joke—they've got a trace of the Western Pacifying King's power!" At that moment, the Ghost Elder inside him suddenly cried out.
Hearing the words "Western Pacifying King," Ryan froze for a moment—clearly, he hadn't expected that either.
"What's it going to be? Either put on the chain and come with me, or I hit this button right now. Your choice!" Jessica pressed Ryan Ling, seeing him hesitate.
Ryan Ling's brows furrowed—this was obviously a trap!
But if he didn't step in, Huaxia would bleed tonight—countless families would be torn apart.
"These damn American bastards!" Ryan cursed inwardly. Their viciousness put Japan and Niyama to shame. But faced with a sliver of the Western Pacifying King's power, he wanted to test himself.
If he couldn't even handle this, how could he help his old man Lord Yama fight the Western Pacifying King?
Ignoring the Ghost Elder's worries, he grabbed the chain.
"Ryan, sigh!" The Ghost Elder kept sighing, while Jessica—the blonde, blue-eyed beauty—laughed excitedly. Ryan had 'walked right into her trap.'
"I've put on the chain. I'll go with you, but I expect you to keep your promise!" Ryan Ling said, following up.
"Great, no problem. I never thought Huaxia's number one, the young and handsome Ryan Ling, would be so decisive. Not bad!" Jessica licked her lips, grabbed Ryan, and said, "Let's go!"
"Master Ling! Master Ling!" Daniel Deng and the others behind him all turned pale, but against such a powerful enemy, they were powerless to resist.
Watching Ryan Ling forced to leave with Jessica and her people, Daniel Deng hurriedly said, "This is no time to back down. We don't have a perfect plan, but right now we need to mobilize everyone who can fight. We have to resist the U.S. invaders with all we've got—even if the land is shattered, we can't give in, and we can't let Master Ling bear it alone!"
"Understood!" All the soldiers around clenched their fists. Tonight was a day of victory for Huaxia—and a day of humiliation.
...
Night fell. Ryan Ling was loaded into a car by armed soldiers. He had no idea where he was headed, but his actions tonight had at least stalled the Americans. Clearly, he was their true target.
Ryan Ling wasn't thinking about the Americans' plans. He was busy studying the chain on his wrist. Even a trace of the Western Pacifying King's power was terrifying—despite having near mid-Nascent Soul Stage strength, he couldn't break it.
No doubt about it! Faced with such a powerful chain, Ryan Ling realized how small his own strength still was.
"Pretty boy, if you think you can break that chain, I'd forget it if I were you. Not even Drake Long could break free—let alone you. If it weren't so strong, do you think I'd just walk off with a powerhouse like you?" Jessica smirked as she saw Ryan Ling inspecting the chain.
"Is that so?" Ryan Ling gritted his teeth and strained with all his strength. The chain instantly unleashed a crushing force—his wrists throbbed and his whole body trembled with pain.
In that instant, he understood the Ghost Elder's worries—his own strength was still nothing compared to the Western Pacifying King.
Ha ha ha! Seeing Ryan Ling in pain, the surrounding soldiers burst out laughing, raising their rifle butts to smash his face.
Wait, stop! He's mine now—if anyone's going to humiliate him, it'll be me!" Jessica immediately stopped the others.
Yes, ma'am! The captain shot a look at the others, and many broke into wicked grins.
Ma'am, you planning to rough up this Huaxia kid tonight? That's too easy on him! Several soldiers eyed Jessica's chest, licking their lips.
Oh? You think you can handle me? Satisfy me?" Jessica said, then grabbed the vital spots of the two strongest soldiers. They shrieked in pain.
The others burst out laughing. Many had been with Jessica before, but everyone knew her appetite was legendary. In the Seventh Fleet, she was called a bottomless pit—no man could match her. Plenty had tried, but her body count was already double digits.
Kid, you're in luck. Before the torture starts, you'll get a taste of Officer Jessica's special treatment. You'll never forget it!" the captain called out.
Enough! Don't scare my darling.' As the car sped toward the harbor, more soldiers gathered. Jessica grew wilder, hands roaming. This American woman was a total seductress.
Slut, I'll make you wish you were dead!' Ryan Ling didn't think much—he'd landed in a den of wolves, so he'd play it by ear. For now, being in this woman's hands was better than anyone else's.
Good, very good! I've always wondered if Huaxia men have any guts. Tonight, I'll find out—bring him to my ship!' Jessica nearly drooled as she spoke, clearly impatient.
Ma'am, your ship doesn't have much security. Why don't we all stand guard tonight?' the soldiers joked.
Guard? You bunch of perverts, get lost! Everyone clear out, or I'll drain you dry!' Jessica threatened, grabbing at them. The soldiers fled, terrified she'd grab their vital spots again.
Ryan Ling was speechless—Jessica was a total monster. Just a few words and she was already out of control. He'd met women from all over, but never an American like her. Watching Jessica go wild, he felt something ignite inside.
Ryan Ling, this woman is a real temptress. Getting captured might not be a bad thing—her aura is special. It might help you refine Conrad Kong's power and the Hundred Saints' strength. If you control it well, you could break through to mid-Nascent Soul Stage.' the Ghost Elder said.
There's such a benefit?' Ryan Ling was shocked. Truth be told, he'd wanted to taste this American woman since the moment he saw her...
