Growing up with eccentric materialistic parents who left him in the care of his grandfather for a job overseas, Zhang Heng had learned to adapt and be unfettered by the oddities and challenges in life. But he would soon learn the baffling truth about the world he thought he knew when one day at midnight time froze and he found himself in a world so quiet and still it was deafening. That night, he discovered that he had 24 hours more than everybody else and thus, marked the beginning of his adventures. The mysteries surrounding his newfound ability only deepened when a strange old man claimed to have given Zhang Heng that ‘gift of time’ and recruited the young man to participate in a cryptic ‘life-changing’ game on his behalf. Little did Zhang Heng know that accepting those terms meant embroiling himself in many versions of reality and exposing himself to the hidden secrets of the world—a decision he could never undo.

"Malcolm controlled Eugene and made him frame Normand, not because he had leverage over him but his son?" asked Anne as she returned the weapon to Zhang Heng.

"Yes. Many of the colony's residents have a zero-tolerance policy toward pirates. If that incident was made public, not only would Eugene's son be booted from the navy, but he would even face the death penalty," Zhang Heng confirmed.

"No wonder Eugene was so compliant to Malcolm. Before we can ask Eugene to expose Malcolm, we would have to solve his problem first. Did Carmen tell you who the two survivors were?" asked Billy.

"Eugene didn't tell her the names of the two survivors, but I think I might have a way to find out. The customs have a record of the names of pirate attack survivors. I can write in and have someone look it up."

"So, our next step is to look for the names of the two survivors. We have to find a way to either kill them or abduct them."
