Chapter 322: Another Protagonist!? Too Chaotic!

"I..."

Chi Lingxi smiled.

"I know you like him."

Silence.

Rose’s face became crimson.

Shen Tian looked between them.

Rose’s mouth opened.

Closed.

Then...

"I..."

Chi Lingxi laughed.

"You don’t have to say anything."

Rose stared.

Then...

Her expression softened.

No hostility.

No jealousy.

Just...

Honesty.

"I do."

Silence.

Shen Tian looked toward Rose.

Her face became even redder.

She immediately pointed at him.

"Don’t."

He smiled.

"Didn’t say anything."

"Your face."

"What about it?"

"Stop."

Chi Lingxi laughed.

Then...

Rose looked toward her.

"You’re really okay with that?"

Chi Lingxi became quiet.

She looked toward Shen Tian.

Then...

At the pendant around her neck.

Then...

Back toward Rose.

"I knew what kind of man he was before I started dating him."

Shen Tian stared.

"That sounds terrible."

Chi Lingxi poked his chest.

"You know what I mean."

Rose smiled.

Chi Lingxi continued.

"I don’t own him."

"Neither do you."

"Neither does anyone."

Shen Tian’s expression softened.

Rose listened carefully.

"But..."

Chi Lingxi smiled.

"If you hurt him..."

Rose blinked.

Then...

Chi Lingxi’s smile became frighteningly sweet.

"I’ll bury you."

Silence.

Rose stared.

Then...

Started laughing.

"Fair."

Shen Tian sighed.

"Why am I the normal one in this conversation?"

Both women looked at him.

Then...

Simultaneously...

"You’re not."

Shen Tian stared.

Xu Ning appeared behind the sofa.

[They’re right.]

"Nobody asked."

. . .

Three days later.

North Africa.

Adrian Vale stood inside a fortified compound.

The attack had ended.

He had survived.

More importantly...

He had changed the outcome.

Original Adrian Vale lost forty men in the convoy ambush.

Current Adrian had rallied the survivors.

Flanked the attackers.

Captured their commander.

Recovered three vehicles.

His system rewarded him.

Villain Fate Conversion successful

Fate gained: +16,000

Current Fate Value: 110,000

Adrian smiled.

Good.

Then...

He entered the command room.

A woman stood inside.

Tall.

Dark hair tied behind her head.

Combat uniform.

Pistol at her hip.

Cold blue eyes.

Captain Elena Cross.

Adrian froze.

Her.

One of the heroines.

Original route...

Elena despised Adrian.

Later...

Lu Chen saved her during a desert operation.

She became one of his most loyal overseas allies.

Eventually...

Romantic tension.

Not primary wife.

But important heroine.

Adrian immediately remembered every mistake the original villain made.

Flirting aggressively.

Touching her.

Using family authority.

Trying to force engagement negotiations.

Calling her his woman.

Adrian mentally crossed all of them out.

Nope.

Absolutely not.

Elena looked toward him.

"You’re alive."

Adrian smiled.

"Disappointed?"

Her eyes narrowed.

Original Adrian would flirt now.

Current Adrian raised both hands.

"Joke."

She stared.

Then...

Her expression became confused.

"You saved twelve men."

"I noticed."

"You went back for them."

"Also noticed."

"You’ve never done that."

Adrian paused.

Then...

"People change."

Elena stared.

He immediately thought of how suspicious that sounded.

But...

She simply nodded.

"Apparently."

Then...

She handed him a tablet.

"We intercepted a contract."

Adrian looked.

His expression changed.

Shen International Security.

China.

North African operational contract.

Adrian’s eyes narrowed.

"Shen."

Elena noticed.

"You know them?"

"Not exactly."

His system activated.

Warning

Shen Tian related organization detected

Adrian stared at the name.

Then...

His lips curved upward.

Interesting.

The man who killed Lu Chen...

Was coming here.

Adrian had questions.

Many questions.

But unlike an idiot protagonist...

He wasn’t going to declare war on someone he knew nothing about.

"Find everything public about Shen Tian."

Elena nodded.

"Already started."

Adrian looked toward her.

She raised an eyebrow.

"What?"

He smiled.

"Nothing."

Smart woman.

No wonder she was a heroine.

Then...

His system suddenly opened.

New Fate Opportunity Detected

Lu Chen Abandoned Route

Location: Temple of Amunet

Distance: 417 kilometers

Original Reward: Desert King Combat Scripture

Original Fate Gain: 37,000

Adrian’s eyes widened.

There.

His first major protagonist opportunity.

Unclaimed.

Waiting.

He smiled.

"Prepare a team."

Elena frowned.

"For?"

"Road trip."

She stared.

Adrian corrected.

"Operation."

"Better."

He laughed.

Then...

The system added another line.

Warning

Shen Tian Fate influence approaching route.

Adrian’s smile faded.

"Already?"

. . .

China.

Private airfield.

Shen Tian stood beside a black aircraft.

Rose beside him.

Ghost several meters away.

Bear loading equipment.

Xu Ning floated nearby.

Chi Lingxi had come to see him off.

So had Yin Suyi.

And Shen Yan.

Which meant...

Shen Tian had spent the last fifteen minutes stopping three different

women from giving him contradictory instructions.

Yin Suyi straightened his coat.

"Eat."

"I know."

"Sleep."

"I know."

"Don’t get shot."

"I wasn’t planning to."

Shen Yan stepped forward.

"If someone shoots at you, call me."

Shen Tian stared.

"What are you going to do from China?"

"Find their family."

Silence.

Shen Tian looked at her.

"No."

She crossed her arms.

"Fine."

"Yan."

"I said fine."

"You said it murderously."

She looked away.

Shen Tian sighed.

Then...

Chi Lingxi approached.

She didn’t say anything.

Just hugged him.

Shen Tian wrapped his arms around her.

Her face pressed against his chest.

"Come back."

"Obviously."

She looked up.

"Promise."

Shen Tian smiled.

"Promise."

Her cheeks warmed.

Then...

She stood on her toes.

Kissed him.

Soft.

Brief.

On the lips.

Rose immediately looked toward the aircraft.

Ghost suddenly found the runway fascinating.

Bear whispered...

"Nice."

Ghost elbowed him.

Chi Lingxi pulled back.

Face bright red.

But smiling.

"Now you have to."

Shen Tian raised an eyebrow.

"That’s legally binding?"

"Yes."

"Interesting."

She poked his chest.

Then...

Stepped back.

Rose approached the aircraft stairs.

Chi Lingxi looked toward her.

Rose stopped.

Then...

Chi Lingxi smiled.

"Remember."

Rose stared.

Then...

Her lips curved.

"I will."

Shen Tian looked between them.

"I feel threatened."

Yin Suyi nodded.

"Good."

Shen Tian sighed.

Then...

He boarded.

. . .

Inside the aircraft...

Rose sat opposite him.

Ghost and Bear farther back.

Xu Ning appeared beside Shen Tian.

[Host.]

"What?"

A panel opened.

New Protagonist Identification Complete

Shen Tian’s green eyes sharpened.

Rose noticed immediately.

"System?"

"Yes."

She leaned back.

"Bad?"

"Interesting."

Xu Ning expanded the panel.

Name: Adrian Vale

Identity: Vale Military Contracting Young Master

Status: Transmigrator

Shen Tian paused.

Then...

His smile slowly appeared.

"Another one."

Xu Ning nodded.
