Prologue / Chapter 1 (Coming soon)
------ Synopsis -----
That year, many major occurrences took place in Xuanjing. On top of that, there were also a few minor ones:
The head of the Operations Department in the Military Intelligence Bureau, Director Shi Qiu, suddenly divorced his deputy after spending half a year married to him. Soon after that, said deputy lost his life in the line of duty.
Within the same month, the young master of the Zhao family returned home after two years of disappearance.
---
Three years later, the Military Intelligence Bureau decided to deploy Shi Qiu to the Western Continent to undertake a top-secret task. They also decided to hire certain mercenaries to help him, and the task ended up falling into the hands of Young Master Zhao and company.
According to the records, the young master of the Zhao family was the same age and height as Director Shi's ex-husband and deputy. They happened to both be snipers.

In response to the speculations that arose:
Director Shi claims the following: "It is a mere coincidence. The two of them have no relation. I wish for everyone to respect my late husband, and thus put a stop to such groundless speculations."
Young Master Zhao claims the following: "Stop. With. Your. Act!”
