"First, we need to act normal, you seem very nervous Sicheng." Xiaojun said.

"Yeah no shit? I might be bloodless tomorrow!" Sicheng shouted.

Xiaojun rolled his eyes because of the others' attitude.

"Okay, okay... we will be stealing the scroll tomorrow." Yangyang said.

"Tomorrow? Why not now?"

"The room has been locked since that incident, it will be opened tomorrow since what they need for the ritual is in there... we just need to sneak in as fast as we can." Yangyang explained.

"Then we will figure out what actually is gonna happen, and we will try our hardest to stop it." Xiaojun followed.

Sicheng exhaled heavily as he listen to the others.

"If we are not mistaken, later my father will make some people stay here until the next day, and if that includes you, this plan will continue." Yangyang said.

"Just saying, the ritual might not be today, it might not be you, but we need to expect the worst here." Guanheng sat beside Sicheng and patted his back.

*Knock* *Knock* *Knock*

"Sir your father needs everyone to be on the hall." A helper knocked on their door.

Sicheng went pale while the others looked at each other knowing well that this will happen.

The three stood up and fixed their coats, Sicheng is still sitting as his weak legs can't lift him up anymore.

Guanheng pulled him to stand up, "Come on, you're acting all tough last few days, stand up."

Yangyang placed his hands on Sicheng's shoulders, "Remember Sicheng, keep calm and stay normal, act like you know nothing, that's how you survive."

The three got out of the room and walked up to the hall that is now filled with people. Yangyang's father was standing on the stage so charismatically.

"Good evening everyone, I'm very happy that you all came to this party once again. Tonight, some of my friends, you know who you are, will have to stay with me until the next few days for an important meeting. Thank you and enjoy the rest of the night!" Mr. Liu smiled at his listeners.

"I'm going to fucking die." Sicheng whispered.

"Sicheng shut up." Xiaojun sermoned him.

"Sicheng."

The three turned around as they heard a very authoritative sounding voice.

"Y-yes father?" Sicheng answered his father.

"You will be staying here with me tonight. I will be doing some business with Mr. Lui. Yangyang, please accompany my son tonight."

"Sure thing sir." Yangyang replied.

"Mhmm... you all have grown well." Mr. Qian said to the three.

Xiaojun, Guanheng and Yangyang bowed, "Thank you sir."

Mr. Qian turned his back and walked away.

Yangyang took Sicheng's hand immediately and dragged him to the room where they are before.

Guanheng closed the door shut, as the other sat back down.

Xiaojun sighed stressed, "Okay... the plan will continue."

"

A party?" Ten said.

"Yes. Just think of it like that." Lucas replied as he took a U-turn.

"When is your flight?"

"Around 5 am..."

Ten did not reply anything, and the silence took over the whole ride.

Ten knocked on the glass after he got out the car, "Thank you."

Lucas lowered the window, "Thank you too, please forget him already." Lucas gave him a smile that is so somber and drove away.
