As he stood outside Sunier’s room, Han Jin hesitated. He didn’t knock on the door, instead chose to push the door open, but it was locked from the inside. It was very obvious from Sunier’s attitude that she didn’t want to talk to anyone at this moment; she wanted to be left alone. However, this wasn’t a problem for Han Jin as he was the only Taoist inheritor in this world.

Han Jin’s figure shrunk. The next moment, he had already quietly rose behind Sunier. Sunier didn’t realize that there was more than one person in the room. She was standing by the table and singing an unknown song as she stroked the flowers in the vase. In this aspect, Han Jin wasn’t any better than Chipango. He couldn’t understand a single word of the Elvish song that Sunier was singing, but it sounded drawn-out and disheartening.

Han Jin hesitated for a moment but still reached out his hand and tapped on Sunier’s shoulder. The song stopped, and Han Jin could clearly see the soft fluff behind Sunier’s neck instantly standing on its end. However, Sunier immediately relaxed again. Her fingers gently stroked the petals and she gave out a low inaudible sigh.

After waiting for a while, seeing that Sunier did not turn around to talk to him and only gave him a cold shoulder, Han Jin was somewhat embarrassed. ” What… Were you singing just now? It sounded really good!”

“You could understand?”

What a way of picking his soft spot… Han Jin was left speechless and could only say something conventional. “Music has no nationality and ethnic boundaries, don’t you think so?”

“That’s not always true.” Sunier slowly turned around. ” Have you ever heard the Orc Shaman singing?”

“No.”

“I will take you there if we have the chance. I guarantee that you’ll take back the sentence that you just said.”

Han Jin didn’t want to continue discussing about music so he paused. “Sunier, regarding last night…”

Sunier suddenly raised her hands and covered Han Jin’s mouth, shook her head and said, “You don’t have to explain. I know that you and Yalina went to make Edwina’s longbow.”

“Then why are you…”

“I was just a little unhappy, that’s all.” Sunier smiled. “In fact, you would also feel the same. If I promised you that I would be by your side but it turned out I went out with another man, what would you think?”

Han Jin put himself in her shoes and thought about it honestly. Unfortunately, regardless of whom Sunier went out with, Han Jin wouldn’t doubt her. This was the difference between a man and a woman. Han Jin trusted his friends and also Sunier. Sometimes, men are just more magnanimous than women. However, it was impossible for him to just say the truth as he had come for peace, and not for war.

Upon seeing that Han Jin smiled and didn’t respond to her, Sunier shook her head, “Have you eaten? Since you’ve been up all night.”

“I’m not hungry.” Han Jin realized that Sunier’s eyes were slightly bloodshot; it just wasn’t as obvious as Cessacioun’s eyes. “You haven’t slept all night?”

“I couldn’t sleep – was thinking about things.”

Things got awkward as both of them did not know what else to talk about. Han Jin hesitated for a moment. He had to do something since he didn’t know what else to say, so he reached his out his hands towards Sunier’s mask. Her mask had obscured most of her facial expressions and he wasn’t able to read Sunier’s mind.

For some reason, Sunier stepped back a little before stopping, allowing Han Jin to fumble with her mask. Han Jin’s movements were a little clumsy, but this was because he was worried that he might hurt Sunier. After a long time, he still could not take off the mask.

Sunier then pulled off the mask herself, threw it aside, looked up at Han Jin, and asked in a delicate voice, “What are you trying to do? Haven’t you seen it before?”

Han Jin’s eyes flickered as he stared at Sunier’s charming smile. Maybe the reason why these little things would make Sunier overthink was because they had never made a promise between them. In fact, promises are very intriguing as it all depended on the one making it. If the promised person believes that it’s true, then it will come true. If the promised person does not believe, then it will only end up as a joke.

Han Jin wrapped his hands around Sunier’s waist. His fingertips could feel Sunier’s body stiffen, but no man would retreat at a time like this. With a small gentle force, he pulled Sunier towards himself.

Sunier pushed against Han Jin’s chest with both of her hands and asked while looking very alarmed, “What… what are you doing?!”

Han Jin then used a little more strength. Sunier’s arm weakened, she squealed, and involuntarily fell into Han Jin’s arms.

Sunier became stiff, and after that, started struggling. She hadn’t been prepared for it, so her mind was in a mess. She wasn’t deliberately resisting Han Jin’s intimacy, but struggling was her instinctive reaction.

“You have a flower here.”

Sunier’s strength was limited – at least it wasn’t as determined as when facing an enemy. Therefore, Han Jin needed only to use one hand to control Sunier’s body, and the other hand to gently stroke her face.

Flower? Sunier was stunned. Back in the forest, she did have a habit of arranging flowers in her hair, but she hadn’t even dressed up today; where could the flower have come from?

“Don’t move, let me try.”

Sunier was still thinking about the flower, but Han Jin had already pressed forward. Before she could react, he had already pressed himself on Sunier’s delicate lips.

Sunier felt the world spin around her, and her heart beat so madly that it almost jumped out of her throat. Both of her hands were pointlessly slapping Han Jin’s back with minimal strength. The slaps seemed more like an encouragement than a protest.

There wasn’t any fairness between Sunier and Han Jin when it came to these kinds of things. Han Jin was considered a veteran; otherwise, he wouldn’t have been so indifferent when he had seen a live version of an x-rated film. The reason why he had became so law-abiding after his rebirth was only because the pressure to survive had been too heavy.

Sunier’s teeth seemed stiff, but Han Jin was not in a hurry as the tip of his tongue repeatedly twitched. One of his hands gently touched Sunier’s hip, while the other moved around her earlobe, neck, and other sensitive areas. However, he firmly refused to move to any even more sensitive areas. Being able to come to this far was already a breakthrough, and as the saying went, do not pursue a desperate foe. If he had touched places that he shouldn’t, it was very likely to cause a sharp rebound from Sunier.

Sunier finally recovered a sliver of sobriety and, out of an abstruse mentality, she wanted to blame Han Jin. “How can you do this?!” However, she really shouldn’t have opened her mouth; this clearly showed that her consciousness was very limited.

Han Jin finally found a gap and broke through Sunier’s teeth. The next step would be to get a hold of her tongue.

Sunier’s breathing became heavy. Her hands, which was the only way for her to express protest, had also surrendered. Her arms slowly formed a hug formation, and finally, they became tightly hooked around Han Jin’s back. The strength of it was quite strong, or at least it was stronger than when she had been protesting.

A woman would always build a strong wall to protect her fragile heart. What needed to be done by the man was to slowly knock down the walls, bit by bit. If done too roughly, when the wall was broken, the heart would be as well. On the other hand, it cannot be done too lightly either, or else he would only be rotating outside the wall.

Han Jin’s goals were clear, so he slowly led Sunier to the climax without any extra movements.

Things that are worth doing requires luck and effort. It was at this moment that Chipango’s voice rang from outside, “Sir, Sir, there’s news!”

Sunier moved as if she had been struck by lightning, but this time she was very determined. She had to leave the evil claws of Han Jin along with the devil’s mouth.

“Chipango, you’re usually very smart. How can you not understand what I mean?!” came the voice of an angry Reg.

Han Jin secretly sighed and let go of Sunier. Looking at her bashful eyes and blushing cheeks, he felt that he should say something before leaving. Soothing words were now useless; men should always be tough – at least from his point of view. After invading though the wall and touching the fragile heart, it would be too boring if he were to say ‘sorry,”excuse me,’ or any other words asking for forgiveness while leaving. Instead, he should use a commanding tone to say this hole in the wall is reserved for me! Plus, he needed to watch after it and not let any man get in!

“This thing…” Han Jin picked up Sunier’s mask, looked at it, and threw it aside as if it were trash. “Don’t wear it anymore, unless you think that I’m not capable of protecting you.”

After that, Han Jin walked to the door, pushed it open, and strode out of the room.

Reg and Chipango were standing together. Chipango looked embarrassed while Reg held a tight face. Han Jin asked faintly, “What’s the news?” Although he felt very disappointed, he could control his emotions. Being a man was his responsibility. but being a leader was also his responsibility. Strictly speaking, the latter was more important because it was associated with the lives of many people!

“Yesterday night when Hallister went out for dinner, he met Eva again.” Chipango said while sneaking a glance at Han Jin’s look. He continued, “Eva looked very surprised at that time, but from what I can see, she’s doing it on purpose. Manteco must have been aroused.”

“Oh?”

“In addition, Sir, Manteco has extra helpers. When Hallister was on his way back, Majordomo Gail found several thieves secretly following him.”

“Come, let’s talk out front,” Han Jin said. The following news should also be heard by both Gibran and Winston, and the rest. He wasn’t sure of what plans Manteco had, so it would be best to have both of their assistance.

In the dining room, everyone was surrounding Edwina. The former sorrowful Edwina hda now become a cheerful person who was lovingly caressing her longbow. Her actions were even more gentle than how Han Jin had been touching Sunier. It was said that the pain of breaking up was not the actual event itself, but the losing of one’s identity. In fact, the saying worked both ways. Edwina being a tenth-grade ranger would not be able to unleash her full potential if she didn’t have a suitable weapon. Now, Edwina had recovered her confidence.

After listening to Chipango’s introduction, everyone was surprised and happy at the same time. There was finally a conclusion tonight! Gibran was definitely not letting Manteco off the hook, and Edwina was even the first to stand up for the fight. Additionally, Winston had already reached an unwritten agreement with the Dragon Singer Mercenary Corps and the Mercenary association. They had agreed that they would give up Manteco and use this chance to get closer with Han Jin and Yalina. To Winston, this was a very good opportunity.
