Civilization

was born.

Could this be the legendary "cold fire"?

Fire can keep us warm.

But it's also fearful.

Do you know

what happens when fire

falls into the hands...

of a magician?

I can use it to create spectacles.

Or use it to show my fury.

Bravo!

Te-chun.

Let's modify it here.

Put that away.

Lei's aide has brought his soldiers.

Here comes the target.

Mr. Chang.

How did I perform so far?

Very good.

Then you'll let me be your assistant?

Of course.

Good.

Let's take a walk.

Sure.

Tickets are all sold out these few days.

We'll be busy.

Rest up for the show tomorrow.

The general wants to see the show.

Block all roads tomorrow.

Yes!

Rehearsal!

Excuse me.

What is that?

Bully Lei!

Can dummy react? Get a real man!

Yes... who?

You!

Fine!

Come on!

The smoke can only last a minute.

Then the guards will realize

Lei's disappearance.

Go!

Will you be this gentle to Lei?

You... how could you?

Move on!

Hurry UP!

Go!

How long did we take?

Over 2 minutes.

It's not far off the mark.

We're kidnapping Lei.

We need to be precise!

A single mistake will be fatal.

Let's practice again.

Bro.

Why are you sneaking about?

Don't run!

Don't run.

Don't move!

Stay.

Everyone...

You were just practicing

your new act, right?

Time for us to come clean.

Don't say it! Cover your ears now!

Don't worry. They won't intervene.

Right.

He hasn't said it yet.

We haven't heard it yet.

Let's just pretend nothing has happened.

But you saw everything.

Grab them!

Stop!

Stay.

Stop.

What do you want?

You're endangering all of us.

You only care about yourself.

You're no better than those scums warlords.

We think of the greater good!

Greater good...

It serves them too!

If you're going to hurt them

I'll quit.

If something goes wrong

I'll hold you responsible.

Actually

I've always wanted to join... whatever

to overthrow... whatever.

Don't worry.

My brother will never betray you!

You... sigh!

We come for a show or an execution?

Shoot you first!

Tease me all you can.

We're only here to make up the number.

She has the master wrapped

around her fingers.

What else can we do but to amuse ourselves?

Right... we've no choice

I'm going to fight!

A female street-juggler is no match for me!

Why are you hiding here?

It's the orchestra.

What is it?

Madam.

Bully... help me.

Your feet are too big for high heels!

Get up now.

Excuse me.

Sir, the President has

summoned a war council

I'm not going!

But President is a powerful man.

We can't upset him.

Shut up.

If you skip the meeting, I'm leaving.

How I miss your smile

I'm leaving

One smile for me.

Adorable!
