In a place called the headquarters, many people were enjoying a small party held to celebrate the success. They joke, even laugh out loud because they tell each other jokes. Seen, happy faces of everyone who was in the place. There was no exception for a woman who was sitting next to a middle-aged man who was known to be the supreme leader here.
"Haha. Great Lord Khong turned out to be good at joking," one of the old men threw a compliment at the leader's middle-aged man.
Great Lord Khong chuckled amusedly. "Old Sister Choi, you haven't even seen my son perform. If you look at it, then you will die quickly from laughing constantly." he said in a joking tone. Everyone laughed at the words of their leader who was always clever in humor.
Mr. Khong Guan, is a middle-aged man who has a fairly high kanuragan science. In fact, in his age towards old only, he is still able to fight dozens of soldiers or warriors in one attack. There is nothing wrong, if they make Mr. Khong Guan the leader in this group.
A group of people who referred to themselves as 'Masked Robbers', consisting of one hundred and fifty people spread out in all directions, equipped with martial arts is quite high. In fact, the number of their members grew more and more when they heard of their mission and vision of becoming robbers.
But, it was not easy to get into this group of Masked Robbers. Each incoming member will get training as well as a test of eligibility to become a member of the Masked Robber. Like training in general when wanting to become a Royal soldier, they were given special training. If they did not pass, then they would never be accepted as members of the Masked Robbers group.
Masked Robbers are not ordinary robbers in general. They just rob the Nobles or the rich Merchants and loot their property to be distributed to the poor. Throughout the plains, Masked Robbers earned the nickname Masked Hero, for his actions that helped the poor people from misery. In fact, all the people in favor also worship them because they are considered as helpers in their distress.
Each member of this group has the same goal, which is to help the people who are weak and suffer from oppression by the upper class. Such as excessive tax collection, or debt collection that continues to interest and make the poor more oppressed. Their core purpose is to prosper the lives of the deprived little people, and free them from the hunger that results in painful death. Also, it helps the whole small people to feel how to live in adequacy.
That is what makes the members of Masked Robbers more and more and expand their territory. The name of their group was greatly feared by the Nobles because of their notorious ferocity in action. They do not hesitate to kill if the victims resist or refuse to give their property.

"You haven't slept?" a man walks into a woman's room without knocking on the door. His face seemed to smile thinly when he saw the woman's surprised expression. "Am I bothering you?" asked again while landing his weight on the front seat of the woman. "Sorry, I entered without knocking on the door!" said it.
Looking up before replying, the woman quickly tidied up her bed. "It's okay, brother! You can come at any time," he said still busying himself.
The man called the elder sister then stood up and squatted down in front of the woman while clasping her hands after she grabbed him. "Are you still thinking about that? Yoona, listen to me! No matter how great their powers are, if you want me to avenge the deaths of your father and brother, then I will. Those who have snatched away the happiness and smile on your face must die" he assures.
Yoona looked straight into the eyes of the man before her. "Sister Jihu. To be honest, I was very sad and sorry, because at that time I could not do anything. Maybe if I used to be as strong as I am now, then I can save my father and brother!" he said full of sadness.
Jihu patted Yoona's shoulder gently. "There's no need to regret what happened. Now, you better keep learning all the science that Dad taught us. I'm sure, you will be the strongest female warrior in the entire land of Jhajhanan Continent." jihu said encouragingly for Yoona.
Although they are not siblings, Jihu already considers Yoona as his own sister. She is deeply concerned about Yoona's condition when she is first discovered.

A group of soldiers passed through the haunted forest carrying a prisoner train. Inside the train, there were three people in one family, consisting of two men and one woman. They were royal prisoners who would be exiled to the border towards the Wind God Temple.
Their condition is very concerning. Their bodies are very weak because they do not get food or drink. Even so, the soldiers who were escorting them did not care even to die.
At that time, masked robbers led by Mr. Khong Guan were passing through the forest. They look at the prey in front of the eyes with sparkling. However, before they acted, suddenly a Wolf voice sounded from a distance. The voice drew closer and sounded like a simple word to each other. Likely, the Wolves were in groups.
Masked robbers are still hiding in their hiding places, which are above the trees. The reason they choose such high places is to trick and monitor the movement of their prey. But, who would have thought if their prey had been intercepted by the forest beast.
While still watching, it was seen the soldiers who turned around and left the royal prisoners and left them surrounded by Wolves. More precisely, they were made into escape bait.
"We ambush and exterminate everything. Then, we take their valuables!" tell Mr. Khong Guan to his men.
The soldiers who fled were stopped and killed by them. Items that could still be used immediately they snatched away.
In the third place the royal prisoners are. They were surrounded by fifteen hungry wolves. The grinning gazes looked extremely frightening as they gritted their teeth. Long and pointed canine teeth, as well as long claws make prey can not escape.
Yep. They were the Prime Minister Lord Yun Xiaoyu and his two children, Yun Xiaolang and Yun Xin'er, who became royal prisoners for alleged premeditated murder of the Empress.
One of the Wolves jumped towards Xin'er. But unexpectedly, if Mr. Xiaoyu will sacrifice himself by way of facing the strongest wolf that leads to his daughter. Finally, Mr. Xiaoyu got a scratch wound as well as the Wolf's fang bite. In fact, his own condition is already very weak due to the disease suffered and lack of food and drink.
"Aaakkhh," the screams of pain sounded heartbreaking.
"Dad!" yelled Xin'er and Xiaolang. Both of them tried to get rid of the Wolf who pounced on his father by kicking and also hit him. But, the other Wolves immediately pounced on them.
The two brothers tried to fight back with all their might. They try to do whatever they can. But, because the Wolves were too many so they lost easily.
Although Mr. Xiaoyu's condition was very severe, he tried to survive in order to protect his son and daughter. But in the end, still have to die without being able to save themselves and their two children. The Wolves instantly swarmed over Mr. Xiaoyu's corpse and left for a moment Xin'er and Xiaolang.
Seeing his father who could not be saved, Xiaolang rushed to pull his sister to be able to save himself.
"Yeahaaaaah. Brother, we have to save him!" whinek Xin'er but was rejected directly by Xiaolang.
"No, sister. Dad can't be saved. We have to save ourselves and seek help!" concluded Xiaolang while continuing to withdraw Xin'er's hand. Although Xiaolang's condition is not much different from his father, but he is determined to protect his sister's life with all his might.
Xin'er ran after her brother's hand. Their bodies were covered in wounds, thus slowing the movement of the two. Before they went far, the Wolves managed to catch up as they smelled fresh blood splattered on the ground. The smell of blood that is so tempting makes the stomach feel rumbling.
Xin'er and Xiaolang who did not have any weapons to protect themselves, could only resign to their current state.
"Zhaolingu. Where're you? Help me!" xin'er screams in the heart. Only one name came to Xin'er's mind at the moment, that of Grand Commander Xili. The man who taught him the meaning of love and loyalty. But he did not know, if that man he had hated when he came out of the Palace.
Just as the Wolves were about to start attacking, all of a sudden everything fell down by a few darting arrows piercing at them. Not only did it stop there, it was seen that some people had come and swung swords at the Wolves to death.
"We're safe, brother!" xin'er exclaimed in joy as she hugged her brother.
Everyone cheered for their victory. But, they were unaware of the approaching danger from the other direction. A group of Wolves came back because they heard his friend's call.
Aaauuuuuuuu ...
"God. They came again," lamented everyone including Xin'er and Xiaolang.
