The night sky was bedazzled by the countless stars from the faraway galaxy.

An Il-76 appeared above Siberia. 

The cargo plane had its hatch opened, allowing the bone-chilling wind to waft through the insides.

Everyone on board had their parachutes along with their gear strapped on. They were ready. 

“Ladies and Gentlemen, we’re approaching your requested jump-off point. You may start jumping now. I wish you all a safe trip,” announced the Russian pilot through the speakers. 

The man was oddly courteous because Xia Lei and Sa’im had bribed him with more money than he requested. He wanted ten thousand USD but Xia Lei had paid him a generous twenty thousand USD. 

Now that it was time to jump, Xia Lei felt like he was about to burst. This was his first-time sky-diving for fuck’s sake. Despite having the reassurance of a parachute, a thousand-meter freefall was no laughing matter. 

Sa’im was first to stride towards the platform and leap off. He closed his legs and contracted his shoulders for the fall, looking like a javelin falling from the sky.

Anjum...
