"Why did you feel the need for this meeting?" That was the first question which was asked to him.
"I had to open up to my fans, to the people who believed and supported me." He smiled.
"Is that why you are telecasting the press meet to the fans as live? To show them what you feel or is there any other motive behind it?"
"This is done to show them what I really am. I don't want any curtains in this talk. I hope you all get into the actual situation rather than shooting irrelevant questions at me." Qihe clutched his hands into a tight fist.
"Why did you do this undercover when you were one of the most respected person in the country?"
"There is no single answer for that. It was like I was forced into that world. I was born that way and I live like that. This game is something which I happened to be good at. I never planned on becoming a national level player but it was fate." Qihe took a deep breath.
"What good did you gain by that? You are a killer for the world now."
"I work for my needs and I have gained everything I want with this power. I have never forced myself on others or did something bad for the country."
"So you are now boasting your deeds?"
"I killed the people who are not needed for the nation and took down the illegal business and drug dealings. Is that something bad?" Qihe asked back.
Brian was satisfied by the way Qihe was answering as there was no chance that he would be angry in such a situation. The reporters were provoking the boy and were not trying to understand his point of view.
"Are you ready to undergo the legal proceedings? Will you surrender to the law?"
The question made everyone curious and they all began to focus on him more. The crowd who gathered outside the hall began to discuss their thoughts. Most of them on his side while others were against him. They found it hard to believe that the person who they have supported and loved for years turned out to be a criminal.
"I am not planning to surrender. This is what I am and I am not backing off." He smirked.
"What if you are forced to surrendered?"
"Do you all have any evidences against me? Who will give complaint against me?"
The reporters went silent for a minute. What the man asked made sense. Who will give complaint against him as all the people whom he have killed and tortured are also mafias and those who had illegal business. They for sure cant file complaint against him.
"Do you believe in your fans?"
"I do. Even if they are against me, I do believe in them and I believe in everything that I did. I will be at my place so if you have anything more, approach me." He stood up and bowed to the people.
"Are you going to continue this kind of work?" The reporter asked from behind.
"I don't have to answer that question right now."
The crowd was desperately waiting for the man to show up as they were convinced by what he had said. Some people even left the place as they couldn't accept him while some have started protesting but the majority were supporting him.
"QIHE! QIHE! QIHE! QIHE!" The crowd cheered for him as soon as he stepped out of the hall.
He smiled at them whole heartedly while removing the puffy jacket which he was wearing. His hair was combed back and he no more had any masks and glasses. He looked raw and fresh and for the first time, the public got to see him close. He have always made sure to cover himself when appearing in front of the public but now he doesn't find the need for it.
"Do you all accept me? I know it is hard for you all to believe the truth and to forget the past but I really want to get along with you all. Not as a captain or a national level player. I want to be Qihe for you all from now." He waved his hands at them.
The crowd cheered for him louder than ever showing their support and love. It was really overwhelming that even Brian was about to tear up. He thought that no one would support Qihe and he would be behaving like a psycho but none of it happened.
"I will be resigning from the team and will discontinue to play as I have to. I hope everyone accepts that too." He waved at them and got into the car.
The lawyer and Brian also made it on time after settling the matters with the reporters.
"Complete the procedures and submit my resignation to the federation and make settlements too. Contact me if there is any further doubts." Qihe told the lawyer before driving off to the mansion himself.

"Tighten the security and make sure no one even crosses the main road. The entire place should be under the surveillance and blocked." Fai said while checking the security cameras.
"Yes young master."
"Hey, I want to know what hyung was talking about."
"About what young master?" The guard asked.
"A girl. Who is she?" Fai was holding back from asking the question since morning but he was just too curious.
"I am afraid that is not supposed to be shared unless we get command from Sir."
"I will find by myself." He said walking out of the room.
'Young master, you need rest. You are not allowed to go there." The guard ran behind the boy who aimed for the cell.
"Don't follow me. I will talk to him so just get going with the work." Fai walked down to the cell with slow steps as his leg was still hurting.
"What is he hiding from me? Why does he have a girl here? That is not typical of him but does Brian hyung also know about it? Why didn't he stop hyung?" Fai was talking to himself as he slowly reached the cell.
