Agony.

This word is the first word that came to mind when Lin Xingyu first saw Mai. He was just 19 when he had first met the child Mai. Watching her when she was just a child is painful.

He came to Japan for a martial arts competition but despite winning that contest, he wasn't happy at all. That gold medal he hold isn't a trophy of happiness. Some people would've jumped in glee when they had come first in a competition but not to him.

He is the third and youngest child of a family of sorcerers and business tycoons. His Eldest Brother is very good at sorcery while his Second Brother is good at business. He, on the other hand, is just average. He is happy for his two elder brothers but he couldn't help but to lament on how average his talents is compared to them. He couldn't even catch a single familiar for himself while his Eldest brother already caught three at the age of 21.

During his childhood, he wants to become a star. He wants to sing and is good at playing guitar. He would also act in front of the mirror but his family is a very traditional one and is quite awkward and indignant of the entertaining industry so he gave up the thought. His Eldest brother is studying Paranormal while his Second Brother is studying Business at Cambridge University. They are both set on what they want to do and their future while he was not even sure if he likes something for his future or not.

So he decided to try participating competitions related to Martial arts even if he's not as good as his Eldest brother. He tried business but to him, it's the most boring thing in the world. He is very entertained for a while but joining contests for a long time, he grew tired of it. After registering on a competition held in Japan, he decided that it would be his last contest and would move on to try another field.

He won but after taking a stroll in Tokyo, he didn't expect someone to boldly kidnap him in broad daylight. He panicked and thought they are his family's enemies.  He tried escaping but that person suddenly fed him sedative while he was caught off guard. They knew he was a martial artist and the kidnapping wouldn't be successful if he was awake. Lin Xingyu definitely thought he would be dead this time but when he regain consciousness, he was blindfolded and his limbs are tied. No matter how he struggled, he couldn't get out.

A few moments later, he heard footsteps. They are heavy and uniformed. He knew it's a man and a trained one at that. He doesn't know what's going on but if that man is in Military as he expected, then it wouldn't be good for him. He knew the conflicts of Japan and China and being kidnapped like this isn't just a simple kidnapping situation.

That man took off his blindfold and was in a very panicked mood when he saw a man in a military uniform. His heartbeat is so fast that he thought his heart would jump out of his chest. He wished his Eldest Brother is here. He wished his family is here to rescue him.

That man freed him and he was about to fight him when his body was suddenly become limp and unresponsive. He was drugged! He tried to stand up but his body is not listening to him! His hope of escape is slowly diminishing when that man in uniform suddenly spoke.

"I am Izuki Taniyama. Nice to meet you, Kio." That man greeted in English.

His voice is cold and low that it sends shiver to his spine. Lin Xingyu perked up when that man mentioned his alias. Looking at him closely now, Lin Xingyu saw a very pretty and young man. He looks like a newcomer but his badge tells him otherwise. This young man is already a general! Lin Xingyu prepared himself for the worst but he didn't expect the man to open the door of the room.
