Chapter 78 - Eagle General
One dark night.
I entered our dream building. There was such a terrible sound. Shaking my floor. Tear down the walls and roofs around me.
A fiery red light suddenly approached. Spread freely to all objects near me.
The flames were getting more and more dazzling. A puff of smoke managed to fill the chest cavity.
My body curled up on the floor.
Although heavy, but these eyes are still open. I can still clearly see the fire starting to penetrate my body.
Is this like the end of it all? Get out of this world alone.
Which way will I go?
Is this to heaven or hell?
In the dim I saw a winged black shadow.
Either a god of help or even an angel of death. He reached for my hand, grabbed me.
However, this body remains unmoved. Until I can no longer open my eyes.
Dark.
Everything is indistinguishable.
Which is sky, which is earth. Which is firelight, which is starlight.

-Haina Island, China-
A ringtone of a song called Mozaic sung by the band Walrus managed to wake a man from his deep sleep.
Reluctantly he picked up the call.
"Hmm? Yes, hello!"
"Sorry sir, there's a fire at the robot park construction project right now," the voice on the other end sounded panicked.
"WHAT?! How could that be? Did Sifeng already know?" Yushen got up instantly.
"Apparently, Young Master is trapped inside, Master. The guards saw Young Master Sifeng enter the building, just before the explosion occurred."
Immediately, Yushen's body went limp. His phone even fell out of his hand. Yushen immediately got up and headed to the project site.
"Stupid! Why did you go to that place at night, idiot?!"
Yushen kept cursing the whole way through. As soon as possible, Yushen should get to that place.
It usually takes 45 minutes to get to the project site from Sifeng's apartment. However, now Yushen only took 15 minutes. You can imagine how fast it is, right?
Zhang Yushen got out of his car unsteadily. From afar, it was clear that the flames were still engulfing the entire building.
Thirty firefighters and fifteen fire engines had lined up around the building. Dozens of police have also been at the site of the fire.
Yushen's chest felt tight. He ran towards the building shrouded in flames.
"I will save you, A-Feng! Wait for me, Brother!" Yushen muttered as he ran towards the burning building.
"Stop, Sir! Where are you going?" One of the policemen grabbed Yushen's arm, before Yushen approached the burning building.
"My brother is trapped inside, Mr. Police. I have to save him!" Yushen struggled and shouted.
"Many fires are still active, Sir. Wait for these officers to conquer the fire! They must have saved your sister." The policeman tightened his grip on Yushen's arm even more.
Yushen continued to struggle, shouting, "LET ME LEAVE! DO I HAVE TO WAIT FOR MY BROTHER BROCKING THERE, HUH?!"
Yushen was furious. He struggled, trying to escape the police lock. However, several policemen came and took Yushen away from the place.
Yushen's knees fell to the ground. Yushen fell to the ground. He lowered his head and slammed his hand on the ground so hard.
"I'm a useless brother! I caused Sifeng harm several times. I'm such a lousy big brother. Aakkhh!"
Zhang Yushen shouted as he continued to punch the ground. He was still looking down, tears slowly falling down his hands.
"What's wrong, Sir?" A voice sounded from behind Yushen at this time.
"My brother is trapped there, Mr. Police. Please let me help him!" Yushen said to someone he thought was a policeman. However, Yushen still didn't turn around to look at the figure who had spoken to him.
"Surely your brother means a lot to you, right?"
"Really! My brother means more than my own life."
"He must be handsome too, right?"
"HEEHH?" Yushen turned around and found a male figure crouched behind him.
"ZHANG SIFENG!" Yushen shouted
Yushen immediately pulled Sifeng into his arms, causing them to roll down to the lower ground.
Now Yushen was sitting on Sifeng's stomach at this time. Yushen was very happy that his brother was fine.
"Stupid!" Those were the only words that came out of Yushen's lips, as he found his brother fine.
Sifeng's condition is not completely good. Sifeng's burns were still visible red on his arms, hands, legs and other parts of Sifeng's body.
"Hahaha, you haven't answered my question, Lao Yu! Is your little brother that handsome, um?" Sifeng joked. However, it was still clear that Sifeng was so weak.
"Why are you here all night, huh? Are you really lacking work, A-Feng? Why are you going to the project site that hasn't been finished yet, huh?" Yushen asked, panicking. In fact, last night they still had dinner together. However, Yushen didn't even know when Sifeng had left the apartment they had been living in while in Sanya.
Sifeng smiled at his brother's continuous questions.
"What are you laughing at, huh?! Why did you come to this place without saying goodbye to me?!" Yushen snapped. He looked annoyed at Sifeng at this time. His younger brother always made Yushen worried.
"I don't know, it was mother who sent me here, Lao Yu. When I wanted to say goodbye to you, you were fast asleep. I didn't want to wake you up. Mother Wang wanted to talk to me about something. You know that right? I can at least refuse Mother Wang's orders."
"That woman again? Then, how did you get out of there, um?"
"The savior god who has helped me," said Sifeng.
Sifeng looked up at the man who was near them. A handsome and dashing man stood tall beside them.
Yushen turned his head to where Sifeng was pointing. Yushen knew the man. He was also in the Sky Palace 11 months ago. Yushen still remembers it.
"Many thanks, Eagle General Elliot!" Yushen stood up and slightly looked down at the man who allowed a pair of black wings.
"No need to hesitate. I'm going first. One day, I might need your help. Goodbye!" General Eagle Elliot flapped his black wings and flew freely into the sky.
Yushen helped Sifeng to sit down.
"Is anyone still sick, A-Feng?"
"Nothing, Yu Gege. It's just that I've been inhaling the black smoke from the fire for too long. Right now, my chest feels tight." Sifeng complained while squeezing his chest.
"The most important thing is that you're safe, A-Feng. Even though your skin after this will be discolored from the burn." Yushen said with a faint smile.
"You know, Yu Ge? What hurts more than all of this is that my bangs are burning, woohoo!" Sifeng pretended to cry. How childish.
"I swear I'll bald you if you're still this reckless again, you idiot!" Yushen shouted, annoyed. Yushen while ruffling his brother's hair.
However, for a moment Yushen looked at his hands that felt sticky. There was a red spot on Yushen's hand, after touching Sifeng's hair.
"Your head hurt, A-Feng?"
"Hah?"
Sifeng checked. He rubbed his hand over his head. Seriously? Fresh blood was still dripping from the front of his head.
Sifeng immediately fainted in Yushen's arms upon seeing the blood. At this moment, Sifeng's head was in a lot of pain from being hit by the log on the burning building.
Because Sifeng was too shocked to see the Eagle General's sudden appearance, Sifeng had forgotten about the pain earlier.
Yushen shouldn't have reminded him of that earlier.
"A-Feng, open your eyes! Weren't you fine just now, huh?"
Yushen shouted, panicking. Yushen patted Sifeng on the cheek.
"QUICK CALL AMBULANCE, PLEASE!" Yushen shouted to the people around there.

-Yokohama, Japan-
Two girls were commenting on the appearance of a man in front of him.
"You look cool, Gege," said the slender girl.
"And your hair is now cooler than your previous hairstyle. Aah, I think I want to grab your long and curly hair first, Gege," said another girl.
"Hey, that's the hallmark of my clan, you know! Oh yeah, we've known each other for more than a month, but I still don't understand why you call me 'Gege', even though this is Japan right?" said the short-haired handsome man earlier.
It might remind you that he's actually from the Schneider clan. Yes, he was the First Prince of Fotia, Zarius Schneider.
"Yes, even though we were born and raised in Japan, our Chichi comes from China. So, we mix all the languages."
"Jiejie, you forgot! Our Pitamahi also comes from India. So we often mix Japanese, Mandarin, and Indian," said the woman with long slender hair, arrogantly.
Zarius drew closer to the two girls. He ruffled the girls' hair, just as brothers do little sisters.
Who are they? Why did Prince Zarius stay in this Mortal World?
