6:00 a.m., Xi Family Mansion ; "Mind your language, Chonglin.", Xi Chongkun roared at his brother, "Rong Xinghe is a soldier. We've no choice but to accept that. What happened today wasn't her fault. She would never want one of the most important days of her life to be ruined like that." "You don't understand, Brother.", Xi Chonglin countered, his tone discontented and curt negative, "That girl does not belong here! Her world is way too different from ours. Last night was an excellent demonstration of…

11:00 p.m., Elite Banquet Hall ; "Sister-in-law.", while the couple was busy chatting with the Prime Minister and the President, Xi Ying made her way through the crowd to them, a man following behind her, "Mr. Yang over here, has been a close acquaintance to the Xi family for more than 20 years now. He's been asking me to introduce you two, formally." "Hello, President Yang.", Rong Xinghe turned to smile softly at the man in his late-thirties. "I don't want to do this.", the man said, looking at Xi…

8:30 a.m., Elite Banquet Hall ; "President Xi looks so handsome tonight!" "Have you ever looked at Military Chief Rong? She is probably the only person who deserves to stand by his side." "Agreed. Netizens aren't wrong about her, you know. She is, a perfect combination of beauty, brains, and bravery!" "Look at how Media Magnet Mo has knelt down in front of her, just to adjust her gown. The Superfamily sure dotes on her too." "Even the Xi family has been pretty welcoming towards her. It's like she has…

Next Morning, 4:00 a.m. ; Rong Xinghe left the house early, while Xi Yuan was still asleep, for she had some pressing matters to deal with before indulging in the oath-taking ceremony and her engagement party, later that day. After a steady three-hour drive, the girl finally reached an old villa. An isolated location. She inhaled a sharp breath before she jumped down the car, withdrawing her Armatix iP1 gun from the dashboard. Her gaze watchful and vigilant, footsteps discreet and soft. Rong Xinghe walked…

"So you guys were testing me? Ensuring if I am worth being with your Alpha or not, huh?", the man exacted his next question. "We are Xinghe's second family. We are her pack. It's not just the Superfamily's consent that matters, when it comes to her, President Xi.", Elijah cocked his head to one side, curiously. "Understandable.", Xi Yuan nodded his head, "So did I pass?" "Physically? Yes. Definitely.", Jackson crossed his arms approvingly, "It's impossible to combat the Military Hybrids. And yet, you…

9:00 p.m., Military Chief Office ; As she looked at the TV screen, journalists reporting the victory of the Central Republic Party in Union Elections, she passed the two cups of tea to the two men in front of her. "So this is it. The end of an era?", the girl smiled, "How does it feel to have served the nation for so long, Prime Minister?" Li Boqin. A 48-year-old man, was elected for the throne of the Prime Minister. With the majority of the public and all the three Military forces supporting him,…

Next Day, 2:00 p.m. ; "David Florence and Shawn Florence are back in the town, Xinghe.", Ashfakh Ali informed the girl, as he looked at the two heads delivered to him at his doorsteps, rolling his eyes. "Classic David.", he muttered under his breath. "Let me guess. Heads ripped apart. Handed over on a Silver Platter!", Rong Xinghe chuckled, observing the electoral results across different provinces and states and localities, on her iPad screen. Today, Country X was to select their two heads. The Prime…

12:15 a.m., Military Chief Office ; Ahmed Ali Fadhil. Lucas Wilson. As she looked at the way the hundreds of dead were lying upon the ground in front of MCO, each body at a distance of two meters from the other, horizontally, Rong Xinghe couldn't refrain from thinking about the two men Ashfakh Ali had mentioned before. This was their pattern. It was Lucas Wilson's pattern. Brutal, yet, obsessed with returning the victims in an alignment. Properly. He was a 'sophisticated freak', they said in the…

Zhou Che looked at the two people in front of him. And for a second, he actually admired them. They were so in love. There was no point troubling them with his presence. Maybe it was time for him to move on. To live with the guilt of accusing the innocent. To punish himself for shattering an amazing girl's heart into pieces. To find a love, as epic as this one. So instead of stretching the conversation any further, the man stood up and looked at Xi Yuan, "Take care of her. No matter what happens between…

"I might've left it in the car.", Rong Xinghe smiled apologetically. Xi Yuan stared at the girl for sometime before he stood up and took off his overcoat. He then slipped it around her shoulders. It was a little oversized for her, but he didn't care. As long as she was warm, her fashion statements were of least concern to him. Rong Xinghe didn't bother to protest either. She knew her efforts would go straight down the drain. Most importantly, she was too tired to have a squabble with him. Instead, she…
