23 Smash Them All! (2/2)

Only then did the blurry silhouette he perceived before passing out return to his mind and his face contorted into a frown.

”I thought you would be the one enlightening me. Wasn't that woman a friend of yours?”

Konrad also wished to positively answer that question, but beside confusion, there was nothing he could offer. It wasn't difficult to realize that the mysterious woman was the one that warned him about Jasmine's crisis. But as for what connection she had to him, he could find none whatsoever.

His mind browsed through the previous body host's memories to seek an answer to those troubling issues, but nothing matched that figure.

Yet, he was convinced of their mysterious savior having something to do with the previous Konrad.

As for what exactly, only time would tell. And since no viable answer could be found, Konrad would not waste any more time on the issue.

”Forget it, being alive and well is all that matters.”

But then his eyes swept the perimeter and spotted the two other occupied beds in the vicinity.

”You brought me back to the maids' quarters? Isn't that illegal?”

”You also know that it is illegal? I thought the notion was foreign to you.”

”But what else could I do? I do not know where you live. And I could not abandon you. Fortunately, at this time of night, most people are sound asleep.”

In any case, as far as Konrad was concerned, the maid courtyards were no different than swimming pools. Keeping the situation under control required no effort.

”Still, I should take my leave.”

As his regeneration abilities had already mended his wounds, there was no significance in staying any longer.

But before he could stand up, Jasmine's firm gaze met his, and she stopped him by grabbing his shoulders.

”Thank you again for saving me. I don't know what would have happened without your interference.”

”That is only natural. I said it before, for the rest of your life, you can only be my woman.”

His categoric tone was too brazen for Jasmine to handle without a small blush. However, she didn't intend to let him go that easily.

”Me excluded, how many women do you currently have in your life?”

Konrad lifted his chin with his index while doing the quick math then replied.

”It really depends on the token you're assigning them. If you mean partners, I have thirteen. If you mean actual relationships, only one person potentially qualifies.”

That was the truth. At the current point of things, the women he had conquered could only be used to fill in the blanks. He felt no genuine attachment to them and crudely said, they could be labeled as dual cauldrons. Iliana was the only exception, but he had yet to seal that deal.

So to speak…

”Of course, that can change in the future.”

There were some promising seedlings among his recent conquests that could perhaps be given more prominent positions within the harem.

Meanwhile, Jasmine was speechless. How was it possible for a man to dally with so many women at the same time? Wasn't he afraid of early impotence?

”Huh, you really are a gaping hole. Anything can fit inside. ”

Those words didn't have the same meaning within their minds.

Upon hearing them, Konrad's lips twitched, and an abundance of black lines appeared on his forehead.

Tolerate! A great man should be tolerant!

However, what followed almost caused him to lose balance and fall face-first.

”But for me, it's all but the same. Whether you only treat them as mere ”partners” or have some budding feelings for them, it doesn't matter.”

”I will smash them all to pieces!”

Her fighting spirit soared, and her eyes burned with a fervor Konrad didn't know she possessed. A fervor that propelled his body temperature to dangerous heights and caused droplets of sweat to drench his forehead.

”I'm not sure I heard that right. You will what?”

”Smash them all! For far too long I've let myself get pushed left and right. It is time I take the reins of my life. And that begins by snatching you for myself, and showing you the wonders of monogamy while you lie broken under my skirt.”

”Also you're going to help me smash them by teaching me how to cultivate!”
