"Sister-in-law.", while the couple was busy chatting with the Prime Minister and the President, Xi Ying made her way through the crowd to them, a man following behind her, "Mr. Yang over here, has been a close acquaintance to the Xi family for more than 20 years now. He's been asking me to introduce you two, formally."
"Hello, President Yang.", Rong Xinghe turned to smile softly at the man in his late-thirties.
"I don't want to do this.", the man said, looking at Xi Yuan desperately, as if his red bloodshot eyes were trying to say something. "But I just can't stop."
Before Rong Xinghe or Xi Yuan could do anything, the man's right hand reached underneath his dark blue coat. By this time, the Ten Hybrids had already surrounded Rong Xinghe and Xi Yuan, defensively, instinctively, in a semi-circle. "Do not move, Alpha!", David Florence yelled, pulling out his Ruger SR22, aiming it at the man in front of him.
