The Heroines Can Hear My and the Protagonist's Inner Voice!?

Shen Tian sighed.

Xu Ning appeared above him.

[Trapped.]

Completely.

Then...

Her expression changed.

Shen Tian noticed immediately.

The peace disappeared from her eyes.

A golden panel began forming.

He mentally spoke.

Not yet.

Xu Ning paused.

Shen Tian looked around the room.

Everyone sleeping.

Warm.

Safe.

He closed his eyes.

Give me ten minutes.

Xu Ning stared.

Then nodded.

[Ten minutes.]

Shen Tian relaxed again.

Ten minutes later...

He carefully escaped.

Mostly.

Shen Yan opened one eye while he moved.

"Where?"

"Balcony."

"I’m coming."

"Sleep."

"No."

Shen Tian gently tapped her forehead.

"Stay."

She stared.

Then reluctantly closed her eyes.

"Five minutes."

"Fine."

He walked outside.

Cold mountain air touched his face.

The valley remained covered in morning mist.

Sunlight had barely begun appearing beyond the peaks.

Xu Ning joined him.

Her expression became serious.

[He arrived.]

Shen Tian leaned against the railing.

"The new protagonist."

[Yes.]

A system panel opened.

At first...

Only partial information appeared.

Shen Tian stared.

Then sighed.

"Of course."

Xu Ning continued.

The panel expanded.

Former Operational Region: Middle East

Shen Tian’s eyebrow rose.

"Spirit Perception."

[Yes.]

"So he’s stronger than the previous protagonists were when we found them."

[Much.]

More information appeared.

Arrogant

Possessive

Violent

Highly Confident

Protective toward those he considers his own

Shen Tian frowned.

"Those he considers his own."

Xu Ning nodded.

[That wording is important.]

A new line appeared.

--------------------------------

Current Destined Heroine: Gu Qingya

Identity: Young Lady of the Gu Family

Status: Unwilling Fiancée

--------------------------------

Shen Tian’s expression flattened.

"There it is."

[Her grandfather arranged the engagement years ago.]

"Does she want it?"

[No.]

"Does he care?"

Xu Ning shook her head.

[No.]

The system displayed the final number.

It flickered once.

Then stabilized.

Current Fate Value: 620,000

Shen Tian became completely still.

The mountain wind moved around him.

Below...

Mist drifted between the trees.

Xu Ning watched him.

He stared at the number.

"Six hundred twenty thousand."

[Yes.]

"More than Jiang Feng."

[By a lot.]

"More than every previous protagonist combined."

[Approximately.]

Shen Tian smiled slowly.

Not happily.

Interested.

Very interested.

"How dangerous?"

Xu Ning’s answer came without hesitation.

[Extremely.]

Then...

A Fate forecast appeared.

Destiny Path:

Becomes Gu Qingya’s personal bodyguard

Crushes wealthy heirs pursuing her

Destroys underground organizations

Reunites with former comrades

Forces Gu Qingya to gradually accept the engagement

Additional heroines: Unknown

Shen Tian’s golden eyes narrowed.

"Forces her to accept."

[The original Fate interpretation describes it as persistent pursuit.]

"What does she call it?"

Xu Ning checked.

[Harassment.]

Shen Tian laughed once.

Coldly.

"Good start."

Behind him...

The balcony door opened.

Shen Yan stepped outside.

She wore a dark robe.

Her hair remained slightly disorganized from sleep.

She immediately noticed his expression.

"Tian?"

Shen Tian closed the system screen.

"Morning."

She walked closer.

"What happened?"

"New problem."

Shen Yan’s crimson eyes sharpened.

"Person?"

"Yes."

"Threat?"

"Probably."

"Name?"

Shen Tian smiled faintly.

"Lu Chen."

Xu Ning looked toward the distant horizon.

Far away...

At that exact moment...

A plane touched down.

International Airport.

The landing gear struck the runway.

Inside the first-class cabin...

A man opened his eyes.

Lu Chen.

Twenty-six.

Tall.

Broad-shouldered.

Short black hair.

A faint scar crossed one eyebrow.

He wore a simple dark shirt beneath a worn leather jacket.

Nothing about his clothing suggested wealth.

Everything about his posture suggested danger.

The passengers around him had unconsciously kept their distance during the flight.

Not because he had threatened anyone.

Not openly.

But there was something in the way he looked at people.

Calm.

Assessing.

As though he measured every person by how quickly they could become a threat.

A flight attendant approached.

"Sir, we have landed. Please remain seated until the seatbelt sign turns off."

Lu Chen looked toward her.

His expression softened slightly.

"You’re new."

She blinked.

"Excuse me?"

"Your hands shook during turbulence."

The flight attendant looked surprised.

Lu Chen smiled.

"Relax."

"I’ve been on planes with engines on fire."

She stared.

He unfastened his seatbelt before the sign changed.

"Sir..."

Lu Chen stood.

Several passengers looked over.

The flight attendant hesitated.

Then stepped back.

Lu Chen took his bag from the overhead compartment.

A small black duffel.

No checked luggage.

No souvenirs.

No gifts.

Everything he had brought from years of war fit inside one bag.

His phone activated.

Dozens of encrypted messages appeared.

Wolf King, welcome home.

Black Wolf Team remains on standby.

Targets in Yemen eliminated.

Payment transferred.

Local authorities still searching for the Ghost Camp attacker.

Lu Chen ignored them.

Another message sat above the rest.

From an elderly man.

Gu Jianming: Your fiancée will meet you outside Gate 4. Do not embarrass me.

Lu Chen smiled.

"Fiancée."

A photograph opened.

Gu Qingya.

Beautiful.

Cold.

Long black hair.

Elegant features.

CEO of a luxury technology company belonging to the Gu Family.

Lu Chen stared at the picture.

He remembered her from childhood.

Barely.

A quiet girl in a white dress.

She had followed her grandfather around during one of Lu Chen’s rare visits.

He had been twelve.

She had been eight.

Their grandfathers had joked about marriage.

Lu Chen’s master had later informed him that it had become official.

At least...

Official between the older generation.

Lu Chen had never bothered asking Gu Qingya.

In his mind...

There was no reason.

His grandfather had chosen her.

Her grandfather had agreed.

The families had made a promise.

That made her his fiancée.

Simple.

He placed the phone away.

Then walked off the plane.

Outside Gate 4...

A black luxury sedan waited.

Two bodyguards stood near it.

Beside the rear door...

Gu Qingya checked the time.

Her expression grew colder with every passing minute.
