Lashkar ul-Mujahidin's base was installed at the edge of Logar province, south of the capital of the country. Located in the eastern section of Afghanistan, Logar was but divided into 7 districts and several hundreds of villages. Roughly an hour-long drive from Kabul. Even though the organization did not have as much influence or power in Afghanistan, Lashkar ul-Mujahidin* had still managed to take control of a handful of towns therein, an atmosphere of dread and fright wherever they branched.…

Kabul, Afghanistan, 13:35; It made sense, Abram thought, as he retrieved a lighter from his pocket, pulling a cigarette from the packet. Of all the Eleven of them, Rong Xinghe was probably the most execrated one, therein. Not just due to how she had thwarted all of these terrorists' attacks recently, but also due to how openly she challenged them. More than her words, her authority mattered, to such. The idea of a woman in power, suppressing them with her voice; was what disgusted them. It was…

City A, Country X, 09:00; Whilst Rong Xinghe examined their situation at hand in Panjshir, the girl's brothers realized just how far-sighted Lu Wei had been to expect a daunting media attack. Apparently, one of the photographers had slipped inside the palace arena after Rong Xinghe's scream had reached the reception hall. The paparazzo had then, quite luckily, captured Xi Yuan's back, hurriedly rushing towards an ambulance, carrying 'someone' in his arms. Xi Fang and Xi Wei were following behind him as…

Terrorism is not an old concept. The term itself was coined back in the 1790s, so to refer to the terror, the fright caused during the French Revolution by the revolutionaries against their opponents. Maximilien Robespierre's Jacobin party carried out a Reign of Terror, involving mass assassinations, and executions by the guillotine. Though back then, terrorism meant an act of violence initiated by a state against its domestic enemies. Now, in the 20th century, the meaning of it had changed, for the worse…

Imperial Multi-Speciality Hospital, 07:05; Xi Fang and Xi Wei stood behind their brother, listening to the familiarly euphonious voice of their dear Sister-in-law. The man too, stood still, holding onto the phone in his hand tightly. "Oh, my sweet, sweet, Yuan.", the recording started, her voice trembling, "How terrorized you must be right now. To watch her like that, weak and unconscious. How helpless, and frightened you must've felt then. I can only imagine. "She is mother, Yuan. Not yours, but…

Imperial Multi-Speciality Hospital, 06:30; "What were you even doing with his phone?!", Xi Fang questioned his mother as he passed the device to Xi Yuan. "In a hu...hurry, he forgot to bring it along with him.", the woman explained, "So I picked it up before coming with your father." Xi Yuan, though discontented by the privacy intrusion, unlocked his phone, and as soon as he did, a series of notifications popped up on the screen. Among them were 43 messages, and 29 calls, from just one person. From…

Imperial Multi-Speciality Hospital, 06:15; "Glasgow Coma Score of 15, a blood pressure of 90/60 mmHg, a body temperature of 37.7°C, respiratory rate of 21/minute, oxygen saturation of 93% on room air, and a heart rate of 102 beats per minute.", an assistant doctor reported to her senior, her eyes on the notepad in her hands, "Which accounts for low blood pressure, high body temperature, and abnormal heart and breathing rate. Quite the complications, Sir." "As for the bullet injury...", another one spoke…

Castle Tryst, 06:00; The Six Tigers looked at their sister quietly, from a distance, waiting for her to say something. She must've been hurt, they thought, to listen to what Xi Yuan had said to her before leaving. Even they'd found it wounding, his behavior. As he watched the girl walk over to the center of the double staircase, gazing down at the confused and jittery lot of guests, Zhi Al clenched his teeth, rage taking over him at this point. "I am going to talk to Yuan.", he said, racing towards one…

Castle Tryst, 05:40; When the woman's voice reached downstairs, the Six tigers were the first ones to rush up to her room, Xi trio later. Xi Yuan's room was much closer to hers, so he followed shortly after the girl's brothers arrived. But the second he saw his mother, lying on the ground, Rong Xinghe holding onto her wrist, checking her pulse, he felt his mind go blank. What... "Mom!", the man ran over to Li Jungah, an anxious expression across his face, "What happened here?", he questioned no one,…

Castle Tryst, 05:20; "Sister-in-law, we're done with the performances.", Xi Wei made his way to the couple meters from him, "It's just going to be dancing and drinking for the remaining event. So if you wish to get changed into something more comfortable, you can take a break. You too, brother.", he said, smiling at Xi Yuan then. It'd been hours since the two had been stuck into their wedding clothes now. And even though they'd gotten rid of the Military Sash and Bridal cape, it still was tiresome for…
