Prologue

"This is not what we agreed on in our deal. I've done what you told me to, and now you're going back on your word?"

(Sh**t!! I shouldn't have trusted this IDIOT and do his dirty work. How foolish am I? To think that I can trust him to keep his word)

"I know you're calling me names in your head but i don't care. Say, any last words Mr.Gu?"

"What if i asked you to spare me? will you do that? No, right? so let's just finish this. Kill me and be done with your show" said Mr. Gu.

Now, this really pissed off the other man and he couldn't get why Gu Kaidè was calm and accepted his fate as if there was no reason to live and try to plead for his life.

"Gu Kaidè, don't you have a son to care for. At least think about them and do you think i will spare him after I'm done with you? Ah! you have an adopted daughter too right?" he said with a playful grin.

"tsk, tsk, why adopt another one if you can't even care for your already existing ones?"

"Have your conscience been eaten by a beast Bo Chen? Leave them out of this shady business and get yourself some good karma by sparing the kids" said Gu, this time with clenched teeth. Who doesn't care for their family?(only a fool) But at least he had to stall some time before rescue came and he had to trust An Hua in this.

"Ok, will do as you say. But the one here will do it instead of me because i can't bear killing my friend" said Bo Chen solemnly while patting one of his men on the shoulder.

(This hypocrite, why don't you just spare me if you can't bear killing me, your 'Friend'. Pah!! Wait for your fateful day).

"Farewell my friend" said Bo Chen when his underling put the gun on Gu's forehead.

**BANG**!!!!

Now this wasn't the sound of the gun but rather they heard a loud bang sound outside and could sense a burning smell and they realised that the warehouse was on fire. How could they not notice anything and who was it that had the audacity to challenge them.

"Shit!! Is this your work Gu Kaidè? Good! give me the gun" Bo Chen got pissed and shouted.

When he aimed at Gu Kaidè to shoot, the gun was kicked off from his hand by Gu and he earned a kick from him. Gu had freed himself from the rope while chitchatting with this idiot. That's why villains should just finish off a person without asking for any last wish from the victims since a situation like this could happen to anyone.

Chaos was everywhere as some tried putting off the fire and some trying to avoid burning themselves. But they couldn't stop the fire and the only thing they could do now was to escape.

"Boss, we have to leave or it's gonna be too late later" shouted one of Chen's underlings.

Chen and Gu were already head on with each other and at this moment Chen had picked a piece of wood and hit him on the head making him dizzy from the hit. At this, Bo Chen picked the gun and shot Gu on his chest twice and together with his men, they hurriedly escaped from the fire.

Gu Kaidè coughed out blood and collapsed in a warm embrace as he fell, sighed and said "why didn't you come before he shot me, are you punishing me An Hua, my dearest daughter?"

"Hmph, this is what you get for not listening to me and being tricked into becoming a scapegoat. But don't worry i won't let you die, not on my watch. 'You got to learn the hard way before you get enlightened ' isn't that what you always tell me?" said An Hua as she tried to feed him a potion that was a mixed colors of Red and Blue and had a glowing hue to it.

(Ok Ok it's my fault but isn't it a bit cruel to do this to me. Sigh!) He drank the potion and the bleeding on his chest stopped. It hurt a little but he could bear with it.

He stood up with the support of An Hua and came out of the warehouse. He looked back and saw that the fire was nothing like before, it was slowly dimming by itself only to leave a blackened warehouse but no destruction. He turned to look at his daughter and saw her grinning at him. So this was her doing, but it was a nice and terrifying illusion. Spectacular! Formidable!

"Sleep for a while and you will be fine when you wake up" said Hua to her dad.

Then Gu Kaidè fell into a deep slumber as he felt a bright light being flashed and the roar of engine sounds coming nearer and it was all silence and darkness but a bit of warmth too.
