"He has planned numerous horrific incidents. We can't possibly release such a dangerous individual."
The hijacker leader held the phone, a taunting smile on his face.
"No, no, no! I think you've misunderstood. This isn't a request; it's a transaction! Are you really prepared to abandon the lives of everyone on this plane?"

These men were mercenaries from Sanzhou Country, commissioned by the internationally infamous "Sacred Fire" organization. Weiss, the son of the Sacred Fire's leader, had been arrested in Dragon Country and was scheduled for execution. Their mission was to rescue him.
Hearing the exchange between Number One and the caller, Xia Liang suddenly panicked.
It's not that I'm scared... I'm just panicking because if this massive incident gets on TV and causes delays... damn it, what if Xi Yiqian and Qingxue end up meeting? Tsk, tsk... now *that* scene would be far more terrifying than this.
