Images were flooded in Liuxang's mind. The dead, the dying, the wounded, the injured, everything with blood crashed like a tsunami.

"Liuxang."

The whisper, where was it? LIuxang needed to find it. To escape the memories that are not even his.

"Liuxang!"

He needed to find it.

Liuxang's head snapped to one side when Shi Long punched him. Miles draped a comforting arm over Franziska as she panted from her panic attack. Liuxang glanced at everyone.

"What happened?" Liuxang asked.

"You tried to kill Sis," Shi Long answered.

"I see." Without another word Liuxang held up his hands. "So you'll have to arrest me for attempted murder. I plead guilty."

"Not so fast, Liuxang," Miles seethed protectively, Liuxang will pay for trying to harm Franziska. "I'll personally see that the Judge will throw the book at you."

Liuxang only smiled sadly. "You won't even believe me if I said I didn't know."

"You even attacked Qilin," Shi Long pointed out. Qilin stepped away from the shadows and revealed the bruises on her face. Shi Long snapped the hand cuffs on Liuxang's wrists. Liuxang didn't even try to fight back.

At that, Liuxang sneered at Qilin. "Should have done much more damage on that."

Qilin gritted her teeth. "That?"

"Yes, that. You're not what I can consider human."

"Bastard."

Liuxang smiled. "Cowardly maggot, I ought to have killed you, but I can't my principles won't allow me to."

"Principles? You're the leader of Heilong and you have principles?" Franziska shouted, she had recovered her voice from her panic attack.

"Fiona, I need to speak with Fiona."

"No, I won't let you." Shi Long emphasised his point by gripping Liuxang's shoulder hard.

That glint in Liuxang's eyes should have warned Shi Long what Liuxang could do. Liuxang rammed the Interpol agent with his shoulder blade and ran to Fiona's room. Everything was arranged it seemed, there were guards everywhere. How the hell did this happen? Liuxang thought as he rammed, headbutted, kicked everyone on his way to Fiona. The guards were strong, but Liuxang was stronger. He was, after all, not human. He kicked open the door to Fiona's room.

There was little time left. "Fiona –!"

Then a gaurd tackled him to the ground.

Fiona bit back her shout. She would have knocked off the guards had Liuxang not shouted again.

"Take care of Huoniao!"

Fiona nodded trying not to let the tears leak from her eyes as she saw Liuxang handcuffed by his ankles and dragged away.

The two guards smiled as they tossed Liuxang into the armoured vehicle. The secretary of Nian appeared and smiled smugly at Liuxang before walking off. He nodded in approval at the two guards who tossed Liuxang in, the shadow of their hats hid their face but it did not hide their smiles. They tossed one package at Liuxang. As the car drove away, Liuxang took a deep breath. Was that ticking he just heard?

Franziska, Miles, and Shi Long heard an explosion. They all ran out of the manor wondering what had happened. A huge fire had broken out from a car at a safe distance. Likui barked, Huang Gan flew panicked as she carried Specks with her talons. All the three could only gape open-mouthed at the wreckage.

"We lost a brave guard and a crimelord, a worthy sacrifice," the secretary said.

"A worthy sacrifice? The guard is innocent, he –" Franziska paused and examined the secretary. "Have we met before?"

The secretary shook his head. "No, I'm afraid not."

"No, I never forget a face, you look like –" Franziska's face paled and the secretary smiled menacingly grabbed Franziska and planted a gun on her scalp. Two guards had Miles and Shi Long in an arm lock.

"Oh yes, you met my grandfather, an unpleasant encounter that was," the secretary said conversationally," you met my inferior twin siblings also."

"You mean Sola and Luna?" Shi Long asked.

The secretary laughed," Sola? I was wondering why he was dressed as a girl."

"Sola's a guy?"

"His name is Ralos, and he's the doll of Luna who keeps dressing him up."

"So who are you?"

"I'm Mundo de Killer."

Fiona cried as she gently rocked Huoniao's head, she felt the tremors of the bomb but she couldn't bring herself to see it. Qilin came in the room.

"Qilin, Huoniao ..."

The gun was enough to silence Fiona as she covered her mouth to prevent herself from screaming. Qilin walked to Fiona and grabbed her hair. She had a sadistic smile on her face that grew even bigger as she saw the pained look in Fiona. She dragged her to the floor.

"Huoniao ..."

Qilin grunted in disgust. Fiona screamed when she realized what she would do to Huoniao.

"Useless, just to stay like that, he's better off - " the gunshot echoed throughout the room and was punctuated by Fiona's screams "- dead."

Huoniao still lay there as if nothing had happened except for the hole in his head with blood streaming from it. Behind him on the bed he lay was bits of brain and blood.
