That night, the rain at the Red Well was bitterly cold. He could only watch helplessly as the girl, pure as a blank sheet of paper, clutched her little yellow duck and walked step by step toward the altar of death that awaited her.
“Will Sakura come?”
The question on the note became Lu Mingfei's eternal nightmare. If fate could be undone, if he were strong enough, if only… he stopped running away!
“Brother, one last chance. Give up a quarter of your life to buy her survival.” The devil's whisper echoed in his ear.
This time, the loser Lu Mingfei lifted his head, unprecedented flames burning in his golden eyes. “Deal! But I want more than just her life!”
The contract was sealed, and at the end of the Red Well, the tracks of fate thunderously switched course! The one he saved was not only Uesugi Erii, but also a future that would shake the entire world of mixed-bloods and dragons!
But survival was not the end. The White King's power had been split in three, and the crippled Herzog had escaped into the frozen wastes, plotting an even more deranged revenge. The questioning of the elders of the Secret Party weighed on him like a thorn in his side. And the power awakening within Erii: was it a new White King, or…?
Lu Mingfei held the final card in his hand, gambling against Lu Mingze and challenging fate. Behind him was the girl he had to protect; before him, a storm sweeping across the world.
“The whole world wants you dead?” Lu Mingfei slowly clenched his fists, shielding the frightened girl behind him as he faced the malice of the entire world. He said softly, “Then bring it on. This time, I won't retreat a single step.”
This is a wild tale that begins with a rescue, an epic about growing up and protecting those you love. At last, a long-held regret finds comfort, but fate's gifts had long since…
