Seeing that Shawn Young was about to leave, the beautiful girls from Elite English Academy, including Huang Qiaoling and Zhou Xiaotian, were naturally reluctant to part with him. Their eyes were red with emotion at the imminent farewell. For them, the past few days felt like a dream—intense and unforgettable.
After all, Shawn had already become more than just friends with all of them, and those dreamy experiences would stay with them forever. Faced with their reluctance, Shawn could only comfort them gently, promising to find time to hang out together and leaving his contact info. After a series of heartfelt hugs, the girls finally left, still reluctant.
Once they had left, Rachel Sasaki, dressed in a tight black outfit, approached Shawn and said, "Shawn, according to the intel I received, Danwa Akira and his group are planning something big..."
At this point, Rachel glanced at Sylvia Snow and Yvette Liu beside her, as if she wanted to say more but hesitated.
Shawn knew exactly what she was worried about. He himself didn't want Sylvia Snow and Yvette Liu to get involved, since neither of them had any martial arts skills or supernatural abilities. Letting them know about this would only cause harm, not good.
"Oh... this pretty lady is named Rachel? Is she Japanese? Shawn, when did you meet her?" Yvette Liu gazed curiously at Rachel Sasaki's delicate, flawless face.
"Hehe... nice to meet you both! Yes, I'm Japanese. My name is Rachel Sasaki. Please take care of me..." Rachel giggled and introduced herself, even bowing politely to Sylvia and Yvette.
"Oh, so polite! Miss Rachel, how old are you?" Sylvia Snow asked.
"I'm... I'm 21 years old," Rachel replied.
"Oh, you're older than both Yvette and me. Can we call you Sister Rachel? You don't mind, right?" Sylvia said, clearly interested in her.
"Of course I don't mind! How could I? Hehe... Nice to meet you, little sisters." Rachel said happily.
"Sister Rachel, do you and Shawn have something urgent to take care of? Is there anything Sylvia and I can help with?" Yvette Liu suddenly asked.
"Oh... Sylvia, Yvette, Rachel and I have some private matters to handle. You two head back first, and I'll find you once we're done..." For safety's sake, Shawn quickly told Sylvia and Yvette.
"Alright, then Yvette and I will head back on our own. Call us when you're done, okay?" Sylvia replied. She could tell Shawn and Rachel had something important to do, but wisely chose not to pry.
"Hehe... Sure! We'll contact you as soon as we're done." Shawn was pleased with Sylvia's tact. After hugging both girls, he got into Rachel's car and sped off onto the main road, leaving first.
About an hour later, the car turned off the main road onto a side road. The terrain changed from smooth to winding and rugged, with dense vegetation and forests all around, dotted with strange rocks—a truly beautiful sight.
"Uh... Rachel, you drove so fast to get here—where is this place?" Shawn looked out the window, realizing they were nowhere near downtown Hong Kong, but rather in a scenic suburb.
"This is near Sai Kung East Country Park in Hong Kong," Rachel explained.
"Oh, are you saying Daniel Feathercloud's base is around here?" Shawn asked quickly.
"No... but tonight they're planning to act here. To avoid alerting them, let's get out here." As she spoke, Rachel drove the car into a nearby grove and turned off the engine.
"Rachel, what's the situation now?" After getting out of the car, Shawn asked Rachel directly.
"Shawn, you know Luna Xiao, right?" Rachel suddenly asked.
"Uh... yeah, I do. I met her once..." Shawn replied, remembering Luna Xiao's stunning, fairy-like face.
"Her villa is just up ahead," Rachel said suddenly.
"What? So Luna Xiao lives here! What about the other Thirteen Enforcers? Do they live here too?" Shawn asked quickly.
"No, as far as I know, Luna Xiao lives here alone. Most of the other Thirteen Enforcers stay in the city," Rachel replied.
"Huh? Why does she live alone?" Shawn asked curiously.
"Oh, I heard she practices a very special cultivation technique, so she needs to live alone," Rachel explained.
"I see... so what does all this have to do with Daniel Feathercloud?" Shawn asked.
"Of course it's related! Tonight, Daniel Feathercloud and his people are going to target her..." Rachel suddenly revealed a shocking piece of news.
"What! You mean... Luna Xiao is their target? Why do they want to go after her?" Shawn asked urgently.
"I don't know the exact reason, but what I do know is they're not trying to kill her—they want to capture her. Luna Xiao has something they all desperately want!" Rachel replied.
"What is it?" Shawn pressed.
"That... I don't know either. The intel I got says Daniel Feathercloud's group will make their move before dark. It's almost dusk now—I think they're about to act..." Rachel said.
"Does Luna Xiao know about this?" Shawn asked with concern.
"She probably doesn't. I just got the report and came straight to you. Besides, Luna Xiao doesn't know me, and with time so tight, I couldn't tell her." Rachel explained.

"Does anyone else know?" Shawn asked, feeling uneasy.
"Luna Xiao and her people probably don't know. I notified you first... then I contacted my father and the others, but it'll take them about two hours to get here. I'm afraid Daniel's group might act before they arrive." Rachel said.
"Then let's hurry and find a way to warn her so she can prepare!" Shawn said anxiously.
Although Luna Xiao had only met Shawn once, he subconsciously felt this incredibly beautiful woman was very important to him. So, upon learning that Daniel Feathercloud's group was targeting her, Shawn became tense and anxious.
"Shawn, I've never met Luna Xiao, but I've heard she's so beautiful that every woman envies her. Is that true?" Rachel suddenly asked.
"Well... I guess so, hehe. Rachel, why are you asking all of a sudden?" Shawn blushed and replied.
"Oh... seeing how nervous you look, I bet you're really interested in Luna Xiao! Besides, the rumor is she's the most beautiful woman in our circle," Rachel giggled.
"Ahem... let's not talk about that now. We'd better hurry over..." Shawn, feeling exposed, quickly changed the subject.
"Hehe... fine, we won't talk about it. Anyway, I'll get to meet Luna Xiao tonight, so I'll find out for myself," Rachel said, giving Shawn a meaningful look.
"Uh... whatever you say, let's go!" Shawn said, then started walking toward the edge of the woods.
"Heh, you obviously can't wait, but you're still pretending... What a naughty guy!" Rachel muttered softly behind him, then followed.
