Aku tahu ini mustahil. Mustahil tapi...

--didalam kediaman Rostharia, telah terjadi kasus pembunuhan yang sama sekali belum pernah kubayangkan. Saat aku melihat ini, yang hanya ada dipikiranku hanya satu; "Apakah yang membunuh ini seorang manusia?"

Apapun itu, Siapapun itu, aku akan memecahkannya. Kenapa? Karena aku...

Itu ada.

Ziyi's eyebrows frowned due to the little pain. After injecting, Zaw pulled out the syringe gently and walked into the bathroom. He seperated needle and syringe and flushed them in toilet.Meanwhile, Ziyi slipped into a deep sleep.

********************************
After finishing the lecture, Jiang Chen went straight to his office in Sheffield. His company employees were surprised due to the sudden visit of their President. The directors rushed out to welcome him but he ignored everyone and went towards the president's office. He opened his office laptop and  connected to a live meeting, where already few vice presidents of the Jiang group subsidiaries, are already waiting.

The meeting went on for 2 hours and post that Jiang Chen disconnected the video conference. His body should have been exhausted after taking a 7hour long flight, delivering two hours of lecture and attending a meeting. He almost spent 15hours continuosly without taking any break. Even the previous few days work was hellish, since he wanted to spend the next 2 weeks in the UK.

He looked at the time on his wall clock. It's half past 8 already. He was about to close his laptop, suddenly a call arrived. Looking at the caller id, he smiled and picked the call

" Hello"

"President Jiang, there is an urgent email for you to approve !!", a gentle voice from the other end replied.

"Okay...Hold on..Let me check !!"

He opened the email and with the bold letters, the email stated, "Jiang Chen...You fu**ing bas**rd !! I resign"

Seeing the email, Jiang Chen chuckled and responded cooly, " I won't"

"Why won't you ?? I will not come to work from tomorrow. Do whatever you want", Jenny shouted from the other end.

Jiang Chen knew that Jenny is burning inside due to his sudden disappearance today. Infact, he himself wasn't aware why he randomly took the flight and came to the UK. He had an important meeting with a micro-processor company and Jenny worked very hard on this project. But unfortunately, he ditched her on the day of two company's official collaboration.

"Jenny !! I missed her", his voice was deep which portrayed the years of longing for Ziyi.

Jenny became silent on the other end. There was pindrop silence for the next few minutes...

"I am afraid you will  experience more pain this time",Jenny sounded worriedly.Infact Jenny was not a stupid. Apart from ACE investigation, she got updates from two other best detective agencies and over the top, an additional one from Zhang's alpha team. No matter how many times they looked into it, there was not even a single time they could find her existence similar to Ziyi except the name and appearance match.  People do say that there exists 7 identical people like you in this world. May be, that's what happened here. Jiang Chen was the only person who was stubbornly bent on believing this lady as his Ziyi..!!

"You know Jenny !! Over the years, pain has become a good friend of mine". His voice sounded melanchonic.

"Chen...!!"

"I know, what all you guys are worried about...But I am afraid...I am afraid that if I don't see her as my Ziyi, then I must agree that my Ziyi is dead...", an immense pain arouse deep inside his heart.

Jenny didn't know what to answer. Sometimes, even rational people can't give the best suggestions, despite how high their IQ or EQ may be.

"Jenny..!! I may sound stupid or selfish for saying her as my Ziyi. But that is the only hope for my existence...I want to live Jenny !! So, no matter what happens or how I do it, I don't think its wrong because we all want to live and she is the only reason for my living. As long as my heart never diapproves, she is and will be always my Ziyi !!", his voice said firmly, without any hesitation.




For five long years, without giving upon a single day, he searched for her !!

To Jiang Chen,the only heir of Jiang group, she is an obsession. He couldn’t understand the reason why his best friend, cut off all the contacts without any reason. Her leaving was a nightmare and he couldn’t sleep well from the day she left.

As a miracle, he met her in the UK. 

To Zhang Zhiyi, Jiang Chen was always her unrequited first love. A man for whom was willing to give up her everything turned into an enemy. At present she even hates to breathe the same air if he is within the vicinity.

A story of two childhood best friends, grown with a strong bond of affection turned into two adults who hate each other.

Little Ziyi proposed little Jiang Chen when she was three years. 

Ziyi: “I love you”
Chen: “I am too small to give you love now. When I become an adult, I will give you all the love in this world"

====================================


Chen: “Be ready at tomorrow morning. We will go to Civil Affairs Bureau to register marriage"
Ziyi: “No way. I won’t”
Chen: “I didn't ask for your permission. This is just an information”
Ziyi: “I will marry in your dreams”

Chen leaned forward and saying, "I have no interest in virtual marriages. But if you insist, I will sleep here to marry in dreams"

====================================

The next day he dragged her to Civil affairs Bureau to get red book and the first thing he did after marriage was sleeping for 22 hours continuously !!!!

A story that blends love-hate relationship and mirrors friendship and portraying college life with decent twists, is on its way. Hope you all will enjoy it. This is my first novel and pardon me if there are any errors

Due to the Kerbalian's exploratory prowess, the entire Kerbal Star System was under their influence. On the outer rim of the system lay the smaller star confederations like the Kabala Commonwealth. Hao Ren turned the ship's outer sensors as well as monitors towards the core of the star system and saw two gigantic halos. It looked almost as if two giant suns were hiding behind the space debris. Tamula explained that this was a unique feature of their system. About a million years ago, two of the core stars in their system went supernova and caused a distortion so bad, that it compressed thousands of miniature suns in the area into the two giant halos. The Kerbalians had been trying to figure out a way to explore and research the mystery behind the halos, but they never succeeded.
"It's just too hot, too radioactive and too gravitationally unstable," Tamula explained excitedly as his head bobbed about. The whole incident seemed like good news to him. "Not many are lucky enough to have such a phenomenon happening to them, and we have one just outside our doorstep. It brought us much joy, and oh... a little trouble as well because it's difficult to live anywhere near the halos. They look majestic, don't they? But the distance from here to Earth is about two million light years... Hmm.. Based on humans' current sensor and detection technology, they'll probably see the explosion about a million years later."
Tamula remembered that Hao Ren was from Earth and added the last bit for his benefit. However, Hao Ren's mind was preoccupied with something else: These little green people were probably the most intrepid and daring explorers in the universe. It was his first time hearing someone so excited about a star going supernova near his home planet...
The Petrachelys did not fly directly into the star system rather, it circled the more sparse outer rim for a few light years before arriving at a more barren part of the space. They had already exited the Kerbal Civilisation Sphere's network, and were now in confederation territory. Hao Ren noticed that the communication monitor had switched from the official Kerbal Civilisation Sphere channel to a new channel with lower volume. An automated welcoming message popped out through the holographic projector, "The Kabala Commonwealth welcomes its new visitors from beyond the civilisation sphere. We, in good faith welcome all races who come in peace. A blessing from the Kerbalians: may your death be far from whence you came from."
"Say... how did you guys not get into a fight with other races because of that greeting of yours?" Hao Ren popped the curious question as he looked at Tamula. The latter patted the back of his head for a while as he said, "I don't know to be honest. But, the chronicles say that the Kerbalian's first diplomatic efforts with an alien race went swimmingly. After the first contact, we established a long lasting friendship and consensus. Although it seems like something awry happened later on. Nonetheless, that is what our history books describe as an unqualified diplomatic success."
"..."
Hao Ren thought something was definitely wrong with these jovial little green men.
The spacecraft had arrived on a purplish-blue planet. The planet orbited around a pretty old, peach-coloured sun. There were three other planets in the system, but they were all gaseous bodies. Tamula's planet was the only one within the system that was habitable. The commonwealth had received word from their leader, and three ships were deployed to guide the Petrachelys. With the reception ships guiding the way, the Petrachelys broke into the atmosphere of the planet and landed safely on the starport at the city's edge.
Lily was the first to bounce out of the ship. She had already caught sight of the gathering Kerbalians at the starport, and she wanted to be the first doggie to step foot on the Kerbalian's planet (But of course, she would call herself a werewolf). In any case, she was always the first to dash out when they reached a new planet and even Vivian gave up when it came to that. The moment the werehusky got out of the ship, she waved at the Kerbalians with all her might. "Ohh, ohh! How are all of you? Thanks for coming! I'm from Earth..."
Hao Ren knocked the werehusky at the back of her head as he stepped out. "Behave yourself. We're on official duty."
Vivian sighed. "Forget about it. You think you'll ever be first with that husky around?"
Hao Ren had developed a habit by now; every time he visited a new place, he would spot the characteristics of the local architecture. This would help him quickly understand the general attitude and lifestyle of a race. He noticed that the Kerbalian architecture design was focused on simplicity and efficiency. All of the buildings near the landing zone were made of pre-fabricated alloy or concrete modules. The colours on the buildings were dull, but as the building materials were modular, there were plenty of designs and styles. So, the dull colours did not dull the atmosphere. In an area with squarish, modular buildings, a conical tower stood out like a sore thumb while most civilian buildings were decorated with spacecraft engines. It seemed like the architects had a whale of a time designing the houses. This showed off the Kerbalian's signature characteristics: Free-spirited, informal, and doing things on a need-to-be-done basis. As long as the basics were there, they did not fret about the details.
There was already a giant horde of Kerbalians waiting to welcome their leader and the inspector representing the Celestials. But, there was not much pomp to the welcoming party. In truth, most of the crowd were just normal civilians who heard that something interesting was happening in that part of town. They came to see what was happening, so Kerbalians in all sorts of uniforms gathered around. Aside from a few personnel who were maintaining order, there were no formal lines of sorts and no uniformed slogans as well. Not a single person came forth with flowers. It was just a whole group of Kerbalians yapping about seeing how the inspector would look like....
Despite that, Hao Ren was grateful for their informal nature. If there had been a group of Kerbalian lasses in line with flowers and kisses, Hao Ren was not sure if he would have survived the experience...
Together with his men, Tamula went towards the crowd and pulled out a few high ranking officials from there. After a few exchanges in the Kerbalian language (basically exchanging pleasantries and giving updates on the happenings during the last few days), Tamula motioned at Hao Ren and his party."Inspector! This is the person in charge of the monitoring facility.
Hao Ren had lost track of Tamula by then and after Tamula blended into the crowd, he could not tell anyone apart at all. It was a sea of cloned, bobbing green heads. Hao Ren could not even tell their gender apart. It was only when Tamula called out to him that he managed to identify the governor from the crowd. Hao Ren dared not blink as he quickly ran towards the Kerbalian and grabbed him by the hand. "Yeah, let's get on with our business."
Hao Ren was really afraid that the moment he blinked, he would confuse another Kerbalian for Tamula... The governor was dressed almost no differently than the other little green men. And at least a few hundred present were dressed in similar garbs.
"Oh! I like this kind of alien visitors!" the Kerbalian in charge of the monitoring facility said as he stood aside. He or she looked at Hao Ren with a satisfied glance. "You are way better than those uptight, rule-bound aliens. Come, I have prepared the cars. We will be heading straight to the facility."
The Kerbalian in charge brought them to a long, floating vehicle and Hao Ren immediately noticed a problem. Y'zaks would not fit in.
The Kerbalians' transportation was designed to fit their small frames and their official vehicles while wider than most, were still pretty small. An Earthling of Hao Ren's frame could squeeze into it, but a giant like Y'zaks could barely even get a leg in. The great demon pulled his leg out from the door and scratched his head. "That's a bit tight."
Y'zaks was literally a giant to the Kerbalians and many of them were very interested in the gigantic lifeform. The Kerbalians standing closest to him had to look up to see what he was doing and with that big head of theirs, quite a few lost their balance and fell backwards. Hao Ren laughed awkwardly and pulled out his new car from the Dimensional Pocket. "I think it's best if take our own transport..."
The Northstar may have looked like a small car for someone like Y'zaks, but the vehicle came equipped with a spatial adjustment device and it could easily fit everyone in it. After a moment, the Northstar was darting through the planet's massive speedway.
It was barely a few moments before they reached the facility, which housed the Orb of the Holy Synod and the four ascetics.


As a person who is down-to-earth as well as a good Samaritan, Hao Ren desires to live the rest of his life as a benevolent landlord. Stumbling into a curious yet mysterious lady, he began his journey of “collecting” abnormal and supernatural tenants. 
His life only became more chaotic when he receives a labor contract from “God”. Discover the many races, myths and worlds that lie beyond what humans define as normal! This bizzare fantasy full of fun is sure to bring you on a crazy rollercoaster of emotions!

It was a book titled Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy. Thou it is one of the greatest classic novels of all time, J hasn't read it but it is in her reading list. She hasn't met Felix's wife and thought that it was so thoughtful of her to give her a book. Felix probably told her about her fascination with classic novels.
 
She kept the book in the bookshelf that Jacob provided for her in the study room.
 
Now how about the flowers. She doesn't want to leave it at Evergreen Villa because they don't live there temporarily. Now she regrets taking it with her. She should've left it at the Parkers Mansion.
 
"Honey, aren't you done?" She heard Jacob called her in the bedroom.
 
"Yeah. I was wondering what to do with these flowers. I should've left it at the mansion." J said when she walks out of the study room.
 
Jacob's gaze at the flower turned grim. "Now they only gave you a problem with those flowers."
 
J smirk. "You are just bitter."
 
"Just leave it here," Jacob said.
 
J gave her an icy glare. 
 
"Leave it here and I'll have Lulu take it at the mansion. Happy?" Jacob said with slight irritation, however, J knows that he was just faking it.
 
"And put it on a vase then place it on our bedroom," J added.
 
Jacob rolled her eyes. "As you wish."
 
J smiled with complacency. It is rare for her to accept flowers from others so the experience is a bit overwhelming.
 
The couple left the house and J was taken by another surprise.
 
"We are taking this?" J is looking at her blue sports car that is now out of its garage with wide eye. It has been weeks since the last time they drove her beloved sports car and she missed it. This past couple of weeks every time that they went to Lodgepole Estate, Eve's and Martha's Home, they would take Jacob's SUV because of the stuff that they had to bring with them. Big boxes of grocery items and toys would not fit into her sports car.
 
"Yes," Jacob replied satisfied with the look on his wife's face. "Here," Jacob said then J looked at him with astonishment. Jacob is passing her the glass key of her sports car.
 
"You are letting me drive?" She said with teary-eyed. The last time she drives was during the Lotus City Motor Speedway Championship because Jacob seriously never lets her drive in the street since her accident at the Naupaka Racing Circuit.
 
At first, he just told her that she is forbidden to drive until her cuts and bruises heal but then he later on decided that he will only let her drive if he feels like it. And it has never happened yet until today.
 
Jacob smiled sweetly. "It's your birthday."
 
"Is it just for today or from today onwards?" J asked hoping for the latter.
 
Jacob thinks for a while before he answers. "Definitely for today." J felt a little disappointed. "But I'll think about the latter."
 
J's eyes were sparkling with happiness. "Okay. I'll accept that." She said before she walks around the sports car and steps inside the driver's side.
 
She drives ecstatically. Damn! She missed it! She missed the steering wheel. She missed the adrenaline. She missed seating on the driver's seat.
 
"Where to?" she turned and asked Jacob. The day's itinerary was supposed to be a surprise but how can it be when she is the one behind the wheel. Jacob suddenly regrets giving her the key.
 
"Black Heiress Team," Jacob replied. Their first itinerary is now not a secret anymore but what's in there is still a secret.
 
J looks at him then she replied, "Okay." without probing any further.
 
The Black Heiress Team is located near the Lotus Motor Speedway. The front building is a two-story building. It is where the showcase area, souvenir shop and the team's main office is located. While behind that building is the team's own repair and custom shop.
 
"I think you should not park there," Jacob said when J was about to park in front of the building. The race car enthusiast and fans of Black Heiress know that she owns that kind of sports car they are driving and if they saw it parked in front of the Black Heiress Team shop, people would flock around for a chance to see her.
 
"Oh... Okay." J understands so she drives around the building and parked inside the repair and custom shop instead.

At the age of 10, J's parents died in an ambush leaving her in the care of her grandfather who years later sent her away along with her best friend to hide her and her identity from those who would try to kill her after her parents.

20 years past, a lot of things had already happened. Her dearest grandfather died, she came back to Lotus City, and was secretly married!

She was married off by her grandfather to his best friend's grandson before he died and she was oblivious about it.

Do this secret marriage has to do with her secret identity?

I thought about just thanking you in the author's thought, but then I felt like it won't be enough to relay my feelings of gratitude towards all of you readers. 
I can't believe that the novel I published with a lot of hesitation has reached this milestone. No words, whatsoever can relay exactly what I'm feeling right now. 

Readers from the Philippines, Indonesia, the USA, India, Malaysia, UK Singapore, Mexico, and other countries, I see you. I'm over the moon, thank you so much for giving my novel a chance even though my update schedule is irregular. 

I started this novel as a way to deal with stress. Imaging scenarios about BTS is what made me get through the hard days and would put a smile on my face. 

It was and still is very hard for me to upload a chapter if I'm not satisfied with it. I have like 5 chapters in my draft folder and 20 others on my laptop. The reason it takes long is that I check every single thing countless times, making sure that the feelings I want to relay are easy to understand and don't disturb the flow of the story. I'm striving to give you the best chapters that make you feel emotions and that have a message in them. 

I want to thank you once again from the bottom of my heart. Thank you so much.

I promise you that I will come back with better updates.

P.S.: I have something in the making (not oneshot) and I can't wait to introduce it to all of you. Please look forward to my future works.

Lots of love

The visit to Britain resulted in a remarkable achievement because the British government wanted economic and military cooperation actively.
Britain needed Kazakhstan to solve its economic difficulties through the partnership. It was also great for Youngho, who wanted to strengthen Kazakhstan's armed forces and promote balanced national development.
Just like Danish companies, British companies would be making their factories in the royal territory, the Arirang Autonomous State. Since it was a location with great accessibility, the UK also welcomed to make investments in the western region of Kazakhstan.
The West was a dry semi-desert zone, which made it difficult to farm, but it had a higher potential for future development as it had quite a lot of oil and gas deposits.
Geologist Park Young-sun called Kazakhstan a blessed land.
Countless conquerors crossed Kazakhstan, but the land was so barren that they left it. That was why resources could have been preserved. But there was a huge oil field beneath the deserted land, and it was now envied by many.
 

"Your Highness, please allow us to participate in the development of Western Kazakhstan's oil fields."

"Isn't the UK also an oil-producing country, too? I'm sure you're not short of oil."

"It's produced in the North Sea, but its production environment is extremely severe. So major companies are turning eyes to land oil fields and to the Middle East and Southeast Asia."

"I'll welcome UK companies at any time. Is there any specific site that you have in mind?"

"It doesn't matter where it is."

"Really? I've wanted to explore the entire western region, but I'll give you the opportunity to UK companies."

"Can this be decided on your own?"

"Our financial and technical skills are not enough to investigate the whole area, so who would oppose it? There is no other way to develop an underdeveloped western region than resource development. It's a national understanding, so don't worry."

"Then would you like to talk to the oil companies?"

With the oil field in the North Sea, the UK was already in the ranks of oil-producing countries. It would be much easier for UK companies to develop land oil fields compared to the oil field in the sea. A single British company in the North Sea would be able to withstand harsh conditions in western Kazakhstan.
Major oil companies, including BP, the world's second-largest oil company, had decided to participate in oil exploration and development in the western Kazakh region.


The reason why the Foreign Secretary wanted to actively invest in the region was to seize the opportunity to keep troops in Germany, that was about to be withdrawn so that UK could prevent the weakening of its military forces due to the reduction of the number of troops and raise UK's voice in Central Asia.
 
 
Youngho's European tour ended with a visit to the Swedish and Norwegian royal families. His performance in Sweden was also quite good. 
In Sweden, he succeeded in attracting a Gripen fighter jet assembly plant and a car heavy equipment assembly plant in Kazakhstan. Since he had a technology partnership with Turkey for attack helicopters, the aviation industry seemed to be completed.
Sweden already had a strong relationship with the royal family of Kazakhstan through Youngho's connection to Information Agency. Previously, Sweden had promised to send their Air Force pilots if the Arirang Autonomous State was invaded. Thankfully, it did not have to, but Swedish Air Force aviation experts were still in the Arirang Autonomous State to train pilots and mechanics now.
The fighter jets Youngho bought from Sweden were retired jets from the Swedish Air Force; they could still be used for more than ten years since they were reformed. They would be used to protect Kazakhstan's sky along with American F series fighters.
 
***
 
Kazakhstan's welcome of the royal family back home from a European tour was great because it had drawn global media attention. It meant that Kazakhstan had become a free and democratic country.
With ignorant police officers who were notorious among travelers and corruption in officialdom gone, Kazakhstan's bad image was shed. The Kazakh royal family's tour overseas was a great way to prove it and promote the country.
The world's media outlets also enjoyed this event. This was because Fatima and Zeynep provided a lot of stories. Everywhere they went drew people's attention. Not to mention the extraordinary beauty, and the unpretentious acts of the queen and the princess were quite unconventional among other royal families.
They were mystical and did not expose themselves to the public very often, but Fatima and Zeynep shopped with ordinary people. They bought meals in public restaurants and ate snacks in the street stalls.
 
 
"Your Highness, did you have a good trip? We've been stuck in Kazakhstan buried under piles of work."

"Is that so? I heard the Earl had a wild night in Almaty with the intelligence agents but was it just a false rumor?"

"I don't understand what you mean."

"Man, do you think I don't know what all of the Kazakh people know about?"

"Now, that's a normal conversation. You've spoken rudely first, don't blame me. Who in the world made such a false rumor? You know, I bought drinks for our agents who are working hard day and night. I did it out of compassion."

"Do you have to drink until you pass out?"

"Thanks to them, I'm relieved of my stress, too."

"Alright. You did a good job investigating the gold miners, anyway. Thanks for taking care of the national business."

"It seems like the UK is determined this time. I hope Russia doesn't pick on us for this."
 
"Starting next week, we'll have a survey team coming in from Britain and Sweden. Let's be extra careful to keep the security."

"I don't know if the secret will last long. Russian spies are everywhere."
 
The government had reshuffled officials, but there were still plenty of officials who served as Russia's eyes and ears. They were said to hate Russia, but in front of money, they would pour out national secrets. Until now, Kazakhstan had been recognized the same as Russia's satellite state, which made it natural for people to disclose information to Russia.
 

"I'll have to fire anyone who spills information, regardless of rank, this time."

"We're going to have a personnel committee. If you just dismiss people, we'll be told we're a dictator."

"What kind of personnel committee are you going to hold for government officials who acted as a spy? They should be glad that they're not being arrested."

"We should put all the weapons-related facilities in the royal territory. If we don't have enough people to work, we should move people in east Kazakhstan to the west. It'll help Kazakhstan to develop evenly. And there's no place that's as secure as the royal territory in Kazakhstan."

The Arirang Autonomous State, which was now the royal territory, had a perfect defense system since Youngho built advanced defense facilities and brought in high-tech weapons for that purpose. Any military secrets would be protected if only they stayed inside the territory. The problem was that the Arirang royal territory was an isolated place. It would be hard to relocate people from the East to West unless there was an artificially implemented immigration policy.
 
 
"There are many Koryoins who want to move from Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan. Let's receive them to the state."

"Koryoins?"
 
"We can't increase the population fast enough if we only take Serbians who only move little by little. And in order to maintain security, the Koryoin people are the best. They hate Russia and China to the core, there's no way they'll become spies."

"Okay. It shouldn't be difficult."
 
"And mobilize the agents to find weapons-making technicians. They are absolutely necessary to improve conventional weapons."

"I heard you signed a licensing agreement with British arms companies this time. What about those weapons? Are they not good enough?"

"They're old but to Kazakhstan, they're like cutting-edge. The Foreign Secretary said that it would improve so much with a little touch. So, I'd like to try. The British government will help us with it too."
 
"That's good to hear."

Youngho planned to expand the state's weapons research center. The royal territory would be Kazakhstan's cradle for the development of advanced technology. 

 
"Man! We'll spend so much money on this. Money leaks everywhere in Kazakhstan."

"Well, the nationalization of the gold mine has helped us to breathe a little. If it weren't for that, we would've sold our precious underground resources."

In the process of nationalizing the gold mines, the government found a total of 30 tons of gold concealed by mine owners and mid-distributors. Now, the process of collecting gold that was sold to foreign countries was underway with intelligence agents' help.
The amount of gold produced in 200 gold mines in the country every year was estimated to exceed 100 tons, which was a whopping amount of over six billion dollars. This money would be spent on weapons modernization in the future.

"I heard something interesting from the British Foreign Secretary this time. I think we should pay attention to it. South Central Asian countries can return to socialism to maintain dictatorship."

"What are you talking about? I didn't hear anything related to that."

"What if China or Russia is encouraging?"

"People are not fools? Let's just leave it."

"It's a different story if people think it's steeper to live than it was to live in the Soviet era."

"There were more than 200,000 Koryoin people living in southern countries. We can't ignore this. We should get to the bottom of it."

"You must be crazy."

 
Kyrgyzstan was unlikely to do so because its people had had a track record of driving out dictatorships, and Tajikistan was not in a situation where dictatorships would arise because of the long civil war.
However, the problem was Uzbekistan or Turkmenistan. Although the majority of the people in Uzbekistan supported the current government, the pro-democracy movement was very strong. When a dictator trying to maintain power got into a corner, he would not know what to do. It was a place where Kazakhs and Koryoins made up about five percent of the population, so Kazakhstan could not allow it to fall back to socialism. If there was another hostile force under the chin, there would be more borders to guard against. It was better to take over the region rather than having trouble with the long, tedious border later.

The night before New Year.
Mu Chenyan finally found out about Yuan Xuan's exciting plan!
The year she returned after studying in the UK, she had participated in a British fireworks event. The fireworks lit up the sky like trees made of fire and flowers made of silver, leaving a lasting impression on her.
It was only after returning that she found out that fireworks had been banned for a long time in her home country. Mu Chenyan had mentioned offhandedly to Yuan Xuan that she could not forget that experience in the UK, to which he replied that he would invite a pyrotechnician for their wedding...
She did not expect the promise would come true in three years!
This was Mu Chenyan's first Spring Festival in the Yuan Family. Yuan Xuan had honored his promised three years ago and hired pyrotechnicians from the UK...
The difference from that year was that the mood of the viewers was different!
That was the last year of Mu Chenyan's studies in the UK. Without Yuan Xuan, she had felt helpless and lost for the first time in her adulthood. On November 5th, she visited the Alexandra Palace in London with her friends.
Among the dusty air filled with falling fireworks haze, Mu Chenyan made a wish with her maiden heart, wishing to reunite with Yuan Xuan and live together until their hair turned gray!
Her wish came true, but the reality was crueler to her than what she had hoped for.
Under the same trees of fire and silver flowers, Mu Chenyan could not see the girl that was praying wholeheartedly with her fingers interlocked!
Maybe it was because of her perseverance in love that she could sigh about the deception of fate in the current reality!
The more love she had, the more difficult her choice was in the current moment!
.
..The fireworks display Yuan Xuan had arranged had gone on for more than 2 hours.
Mu Chenyan was freezing cold. Yuan Xuan held her in his arm and promised, "If you like, we could arrange for pyrotechnics every year!"
Obviously, Yuan Tian was overwhelmed by the novelty of his sister-in-law's preference. She stood in the Hibiscus Garden's entrance in a thick woolen cap, her tiny nose red in the cold as she waved her tiny fist around excitedly.
"Chenyan, do you know? Just for this performance, Third Brother had hired 6 helicopters to remove the dust in the air before the guys at the Department of Environment agreed to it..."
Mu Chenyan looked at Yuan Xuan in surprise. He was slightly embarrassed for his insistence, but like the college boys who saved seats for college girls, but had to pretend like it was no big deal to cover up their own awkwardness.
What was surprising to Mu Chenyan was that she had never known how important she was in Yuan Xuan's heart...
"The year you graduated, when you were watching the fireworks in the Alexandra Palace, I was by your side the whole time!" He noticed Mu Chenyan's confusion and explained in his deep, raspy voice!
Mu Chenyan was shocked! Her pretty face turned white in shock, her lips moved, but she could not speak at all.
"I was just watching you in the corner. I think your wish must have something to do with growing gray with me!"
The handsome man was as if he had worn a warm ring of light around him, shining brightly. His normally-cold eyes carried a faint smile as he fixated his gaze on the trembling Mu Chenyan!
Just like the fifteen-year-old who stood beneath the pomegranate tree, who brought her the warmth she craved from the winter sun!
"Yuan Xuan, you, you're saying, you were always... by my side?"
Mu Chenyan's voice was wavering so much, she could not even control it!
She had thought the romance was just her wishful thinking!
She did not know that he had asked Wu Ze to look after her in the years he had been gone, that he even snuck into the UK to be with her when she was graduating...
He used his actions to tell her that even though time was moving on, if she could only glance back in time, she would notice Yuan Xuan waiting in the same spot the whole time!


After years of longing, Mu Chenyan was finally going to marry the man of her dreams — Yuan Xuan. However, on her wedding day, the tragic death of Shu Qinger, her well-known romantic competitor led to Mu Chenyan's prison sentence.

Two years later, Mu Chenyan was released from prison due to insufficient evidence, but she ended in another “prison” — the Yuan household. However, she was no longer the  naive girl who would let anyone have their way with her...

Her days in the prison had left their marks and a passion for revenge was now ignited in her. Even as Yuan Xuan tried to regain her love, she has now built a wall to guard her heart, cutting off all advances from him.

The question remains — who killed Shu Qinger? Who are the people on her side, and those who are on the devil's?

Love and hate intertwined, with Yuan Xuan's love and protectiveness over Mu Chenyan remaining unchanged...

"You seems so comfortable doing wonders in the kitchen? When did you get this skill?" Tan Ja Nin curiously asked.
"I lived in the UK for five years alone. I've mastered cooking because I have nothing but myself then." 
Tan Ja Nin nodded. Unlike him, although she tried living independently in New York for years, her parent has hired a personal chef for her to take good care of her daily meals. If Lee Jin Ho has been cooking for several years and he seems good at it by the way the food presentation in front of her was prepared, her mind is wondering if she had  also cooked for someone else while he was abroad. Aside from Song Dei Si, was he involved in another woman in UK. Her lips pouted with that thought.
"How many people have praised you for your cooking skills?" 
"If you wanted to know if I have cooked for anyone else aside from you, the answer to your question is none." Lee Jin Ho answered as if he can read her thoughts. 
Tan Ja Nin face turned crimson. 
"Can we eat now? I-I'm hungry." She asked.
"You can have me as your appetizer first." Lee Jin Ho teased her. 
Tan Ja Nin felt that her face had become more redder so she gave him an eye of a tiger.
"Don't ever think you've got a ticket to tease me shamelessly just because we already have sex" 
Lee Jin Ho laughed and pinched her chin. "You're cute when you tried to be angry like that" 
"LEE JIN HO!" 
"Okay, let's eat now! I know you're hungry from that bed fight that we had." 
"LEE JI-" 
She wasn't able to finish calling his name because he put a whole piece of wheat bread into her mouth then laughed at her.
"You have to eat more to gain more energy for our next round." He shamelessly said and started to put some foods into her plate. 
"Lee Jin Ho, stop fooling around" 
Lee Jin Ho looked at her and then nodded. 
Then there was silence.
"Let's live together." Lee Jin Ho said after awhile. 
That statement made Tan Ja Nin spitted all the foods out of her mouth straight into Lee Jin Ho's face.
Lee Jin Ho cleaned up his messy face and spoke again. "As I said I will take responsibility from what had happened between us, let's live together first before we jump off to marriage." 
"I'm not going to live with you and no intention of marrying you just because we had sex. We both scratched an itch and nothing else."
Lee Jin Ho was stunned on her response. He looked at her again like he was trying to read if she meant what she said and then gradually nodded after awhile. 
"Yes, it was an itch and nothing else" he said and stood up. "Don't forget to bring all your belongings when you leave." a teasing and gentle voice earlier turned into an icy-cold in an instant.
Tan Ja Nin was left dumbfounded at the dining table.

He pinched her nose and that made Song Dei Si snapped back to reality. 
“Hey!” Song Dei Si put a mock on her face as he looked at Yan Mor Tee. 
"Earthcalling Song Dei Si. Are you back from Milkyway?" Yan Mor Tee's handsome face was grinning at the woman whose eyebows were knitted next to each other.
"A penny for your thought?" He asked and gave her  a concerned look. 
Song Dei Si gave him a survey look at this time. 
When she looked at him that way, he always felt uncomfortable and couldn't help but looked away from her gaze. 
"I need your help" she said in a low voice.
He looked back at Song Dei Si's tiny yet beautiful face and asked "What is it?" 
"I need to get pregnant soon" she said nervously.
"So how can I be of help?" He asked. Puzzled.
"Be the father of my child." 
Upon hearing her answer, he can't help but burst out laughing.

{Ellie, Kira, I have something to say.} 

Nano had gathered us around a table. 

"Heeeee, nnnaaaaa, mmmnnnnnaaa...." 

"Ellie, this is important, please stop rubbing your face on me." 

Even after scolding her and almost pushing her off, she refuses to let go of me. 

She's changed. As predicted her bizarre behavior kept getting worse. The quiet, cute girl from a week ago is nowhere to be found. 

It was stressing Kelly out so much we had to send her to Runetap for a few days. Hopefully she'll recover in the werewolf bar there. 

{Well, I'll cut straight to the point.} 

{Ellie's recent experience has sent her body into heat.} 

This is... making more sense than it should. 

{It's a defect from the Felis treatment.} 

As I thought, it's her strange race in the end. 

"So we just need to wait it out? It might be uncomf-" 

{We can't.} 

Nano cut me off… he never does that! 

{Her body doesn't know what to do with itself, so it's going wild.} 

{If we do nothing, then at this rate, she will die in a few days.} 

... 

All the color disappeared from the world. 

Ellie can't die! She's my sun, my moon, my everything! 

I reflexively hug her like someone's trying to take her from me. 

No, that may actually be the case. 

"Th-th-there's something you can do right?" 

{Yes, but it's an extreme measure.} 

"Tell me." 

{To begin with, the problem is that her state is incomplete.} 

{So the way to stabilize it is to finish the treatment.} 

"NO!" 

Ellie screamed and bolted away from me. 

She's on down on all fours, expression like a feral beast. 

"Ellie, please, this is-" 

"NO! NO! NO MORE!" 

She's screaming with bloodshot eyes. 

"NO MORE INJECTIONS AND CHAIRS!" 

This girl is screaming like her teeth are being pulled. 

"NO MORE PROBING AND CUTTING!" 

Her pain, her fear, I can feel them flow through me. 

"NO MORE CHAINS AND PRISONS!" 

What... what do I do... 

{Ellie. Please listen to reason.} 

{There's a good chance that-} 

"NO!" 

Nano tries to talk to her, but... 

"No... please... no.." 

She curls up and starts shivering. 

"Ellie..." 

I reach my hands out to her and take a few steps. 

She curls up even more. 

I approach slowly and kneel down. 

I embrace her head gently, trying my best to soothe her, but her shaking won't stop. 

Why? 

"Nano, why?" 

{If Ellie goes through with this, she's going to change.} 

{I can guess how much to some extent, but we can't be sure.} 

{Also, this is something that old fart forced on her, and that terrifies her.} 

"Can you do it?" 

{Yes, I can. There's a seed inside her, I just need to make it grow.} 

{All I need is her approval.} 

"Ellie, I know it must be terrible, but..." 

"I DON'T WANT TO BE A WEAPON!" 

She screams into my chest with all her might. 

"I don't... want to be a monster..." 

"There's no way Ellie will ever be a monster!" 

I rebuke her immediately. 

There's no way. 

Even if the whole world says so. 

Even if Ellie herself says so! 

I will refute everything until the end! 

There's no way my sweet, passionate Ellie will ever be a monster. 

"But... I'm scared...  

I don't want to be like them... 

If the only way is to become like those.. things! 

I'd rather die!" 

*SLAP* 

My palm strikes her cheek with all my might. 

Overcome by anger, I hit Ellie for the first time in my life. 

Her face is facing the ground, refusing to return my gaze. 

"DON'T SAY THAT! Don't... ever say that!" 

I stifle down the rage in my heart. 

When we met, my life found new meaning. I don't want to lose her. 

Whatever's happening, I am the cause. If Ellie dies like this, I will have killed her. 

I... don't know if I can bear that. 

So please, Ellie, don't die! 

... 

She's still quivering.  She looks so tiny. 

How can I save her? How can I help her? 

... 

No... 

That's wrong. 

This girl did not ask for my help. 

Ellie clearly said she wished for death. 

What I was thinking was just my own selfishness. 

I see, this is something I, not Ellie, wanted. 

In that case, I will force it on her! 

I straighten up, cross my arms and shout with a command tone- 

"Adventurer Ellie of [Black Flame]!" 

She looks up at me with a shocked expression. Some semblance of light comes back to her vacant eyes. 

"As your leader, I order you to survive with all your might! 

As your friend, I ask that you do not lose yourself! 

But above all else, as your future wife... 

I beg of you, live! Live on and let me love you!" 

I give voice to my wish. 

To this one desire of mine which will not be denied. 

"Waah! Uk, uk, uk, uwaaaaah!" 

Ellie finally breaks out into full blown sobbing. 

"Yez! YEZ! I *hic hic* I promize!" 

I kneel down and gently hold her.  

"That's my girl. Let it all out..." 

I will stay with her until her tears run dry. 

Until my life runs out. 

Until my bones turn to dust. 

Until the last ember of my soul fades away. 

Nothing will take her away from me. 

Well, this one took an unexpectedly dark turn. 
Even I'm not sure how it ended up like this. 
This was supposed to be light-hearted yet...

My plans include gold to jewellery and selling. 
My first step was to get 10.000 gallons from the bank. Then melt it down to gold then make them in to Mimi gold bars. 
This would leave me with 500 gold bars at $411.60 per ounce which is 500.000.00 dollars US per bar of gold I go and sell 3 bar of gold and get 300.000.00 Uk Euros each bar 
900.000.00 for a total.
I then buy a small store and fix it up to sell gold and jewellery. I also contact local jeweller factory to take the 497 bar in to jewellery this all cost 800.000.00 Uk hiring employees and taxes, this should do for a year.
I hire a manager. 

A year time lapse
January 1 1900 
But before I have to tell you what I've been learning i've been reading the laws and the book for Hogwarts and it is amazing how outdated and totally racist The wizard in world is,
The book about the werewolves laws no wonder why they would join you know who in a fight. The laws are made to keep you down.
Anyways the skills I learned
Alchemy age 13
Potions age 16
Wandless magic age age 25 
English 100%
French 40%
German 40%
Spanish 23% 
Russian 2%

January 1 1900 
I found out that it's easier to buy and fix up houses then it is to do anything else. The wizard world is small but with the pure bloods live in neighbourhood of wizard only is great. They don't know my moves and I'll take a advantage of that.
This year i'll be preparing for next year with the jewellery store making money and self dependence it's good for years to go. Now it's time to sell these houses that have been repaired. I explain to the goblins of A mortgage and I ask them to give mortgages of my properties it's transferred into their account but they owe me money
At 2% annual interest. 
101 house these amount of houses were badly damaged but now are fixed. These houses had badly damage roofs holes in the walls creatures in the floor old floors that would break barely any electricity barely any renovation since The 1900.repairing the kitchen repairing the bedrooms and bathrooms in the basement of these houses cost money but at the end of the day if I use mortgages I can make one and a half times more than what I would make of people buy them out right and more people are likely to afford these Housing.
