"You stabilized him."
"That doesn’t make him mine."
Ren looked between them.
Lin Yue smiled.
"Good answer."
Shen Tian sighed.
"Why is everyone grading me today?"
"Because you need supervision."
"Rude."
. . .
Ren looked toward Shen Tian.
"Where do I go?"
Shen Tian paused.
"Where do you want to go?"
Ren stared.
"I don’t know."
"Then figure it out."
"How?"
Shen Tian thought.
Then...
"Come to the island."
Lin Yue looked toward him.
Ren stared.
"Island?"
"Private island."
"Why do you have an island?"
Shen Tian paused.
Then...
"Karaoke."
Silence.
Ren stared.
Lin Yue stared.
Xu Ning stared.
Then...
Lin Yue slowly asked...
"You bought an island because of karaoke?"
"No."
Xu Ning appeared.
[Partially.]
"Traitor."
Ren couldn’t see Xu Ning.
He stared at Shen Tian talking to empty air.
Then...
"Are you mentally stable?"
Silence.
Lin Yue covered her mouth.
Shen Tian stared.
Then...
Started laughing.
Actually laughing.
Ren looked confused.
Lin Yue laughed too.
Shen Tian nodded.
"You’re going to fit in."
. . .
Elsewhere...
Chen Mo sat beside his mother.
Medical aircraft.
Quiet.
Chen Lihua slept.
For the first time in twelve years...
He could see her.
Touch her hand.
Know she was alive.
His phone vibrated.
A file.
Sent by Shen Tian.
CHEN FAMILY RECORDS
Chen Mo stared.
Then...
Opened.
Father.
Alive.
Possible location unknown.
Last confirmed Crowned Serpent transfer...
Six years ago.
Destination...
North America.
Chen Mo’s eyes narrowed.
His thoughts became quiet.
Then...
One systemless instinct.
One protagonist route.
Awakening.
Hidden Heir Route Evolution
His mother’s disappearance was only the beginning.
His father.
His bloodline.
The Chen Clan.
The truth.
All waiting.
Chen Mo looked out the aircraft window.
Then...
His phone vibrated again.
Message from Shen Tian.
Don’t die before I take your Fate.
Chen Mo stared.
Then...
His eye twitched.
He typed.
Fuck you.
Shen Tian replied immediately.
Motivated already. Good.
Chen Mo closed his eyes.
Then...
Despite everything...
He laughed.
Once.
Quietly.
. . .
Qin Hao’s aircraft.
Han Yuer sat beside him.
He stared at his system.
Tianlong Post Event Fate: 681,400
Crowned Serpent extraction loss: 498
Current Fate Value: 680,902
He stared.
Five hundred Fate.
Gone.
Not catastrophic.
Still annoying.
Then...
Another notification.
Crowned Serpent discovery
Major hidden narrative organization exposed
Survival Reward: +30,000 Villain Points
Qin Hao smiled slightly.
Then...
New Mission
Chen Mo Hidden Heir Route Expansion
Objective: Locate Chen Mo’s father before Chen Mo
Estimated Fate opportunity: 38,000
Qin Hao’s smile widened.
Han Yuer looked toward him.
"What?"
"Nothing."
She stared.
He sighed.
"Chen Mo."
"What about him?"
"New route."
Han Yuer nodded.
"You’re going after it."
"Yes."
She leaned back.
"Shen Tian?"
Qin Hao’s expression changed.
Then...
"No."
Han Yuer smiled.
"Good."
Qin Hao looked toward her.
"What?"
"You learned."
He stared.
Then...
"I hate that everyone says that."
. . .
Adrian’s aircraft.
Adrian sat across from Elena.
Silent.
A file between them.
LUCIAN VALE
His ancestor.
Failed villain.
Founder of Fate extraction research.
Indirect cause of Crowned Serpent.
Adrian stared.
Then...
His system opened.
Major Fate Route Completed
Vale Bloodline Reckoning: Partial
Crowned Serpent primary European laboratory destroyed
Lucian Vale identified
Reward: 31,000 Fate stabilization
New Route
The First Villain’s Legacy
Find Lucian Vale’s original resting place

Adrian closed his eyes.
Elena looked toward him.
"Bad?"
"Family."
"That bad?"
"Worse."
She smiled.
"Want coffee?"
Adrian opened his eyes.
Then...
Looked at her.
"Yes."
She smiled.
"Good."
His thoughts came.
At least one thing in my life is normal.
Elena heard.
Her expression softened.
Then...
Adrian’s next thought.
Except she’s ridiculously beautiful.
Elena froze.
Her cheeks became red.
Adrian saw.
Then...
Realized.
"Oh, come on."
She smiled.
"Coffee."
He covered his face.
. . .
Shen Tian’s aircraft.
Much less peaceful.
"Move."
"No."
"Your leg is on me."
"That’s because there’s no space."
"There is space."
"Where?"
"Over there."
"That’s Rose’s bag."
"Move the bag."
"Don’t touch my bag."
"Why?"
"Weapons."
Silence.
Shen Tian sat in the center.
Again.
Chi Lingxi on his right.
Rose on his left.
Ling Shuangxue across from him.
Qin Ruobing beside her.
Bai Xue.
Li Lian.
Ruan Yizhen.
Gu Qingya.
Tang Meilin.
Chu Zijin.
Shen Yan.
Lin Yue.
And now...
Ren.
He sat in the corner.
Watching.
Studying.
Confused.
Very confused.
Finally...
He looked toward Shen Tian.
"Are all humans like this?"
Every woman became silent.
Shen Tian stared.
Then...
"No."
Ren nodded.
"Good."
Rose laughed.
Chi Lingxi leaned against Shen Tian.
Then...
She looked toward Ren.
"You’ll get used to it."
Ren looked doubtful.
Bai Xue smiled.
"Probably."
Ren stared around.
Then...
At Shen Tian.
"Are they your family?"
Silence.
The question landed differently.
Shen Tian looked around.
Some women froze.
Some blushed.
Some smiled.
Shen Yan immediately answered.
"I’m his sister."
Ren nodded.
Then...
At Yin Suyi’s empty seat?
No.
She was back on the island.
Then...
His eyes moved toward Chi Lingxi.
"Girlfriend."
Chi Lingxi smiled proudly.
Then Rose.
Rose froze.
"I..."
Silence.
Her cheeks warmed.
Shen Tian looked toward her.
Rose stared.
Then...
"I like him."
Ren nodded.
Simple.
No judgment.
Then Ling Shuangxue.
She became red.
"I also..."
Her voice stopped.
Qin Ruobing smiled.
Ling Shuangxue glared.
Then...
"I like him."
Ren nodded.
Then...
Qin Ruobing.
She smiled.
"Complicated."
Shen Tian raised an eyebrow.
Qin Ruobing’s cheeks warmed.
Ren nodded.
Then Bai Xue.
She bit into an apple.
"Very complicated."
Ren nodded again.
Li Lian.
She smiled softly.
"I care about him."
Ruan Yizhen crossed her arms.
"Same."
Gu Qingya.
She paused.
Then...
"I enjoy him."
Silence.
Everyone stared.
Gu Qingya froze.
Again.
Tang Meilin covered her mouth.
Shen Tian smiled.
Gu Qingya pointed.
"No."
He hadn’t said anything.
Her cheeks became crimson.
Ren looked toward Tang Meilin.
She immediately panicked.
"Why are you interviewing us?"
Ren stared.
"I am learning."
"Learn something else."
"Why?"
Tang Meilin looked around for help.
Nobody helped.
Traitors.
Her cheeks warmed.
Then...
Quietly...
"I like him."
Ren nodded.
Chu Zijin immediately spoke before being asked.
"I like him too."
Silence.
She froze.
Everyone looked.
Her face became crimson.
"I mean..."
Shen Tian smiled.
She pointed.
"Don’t."
He raised both hands.
Chu Zijin crossed her arms.
Then...
Muttered...
"I already accidentally said I loved you yesterday, so whatever."
Shen Tian’s eyebrow rose.
"Accidentally?"
"The island."
"Of course."
"Shut up."
Everyone laughed.
Ren watched.
