Tomb Raider | Jaeyong

Chapter 12

A boat was being loaded with supplies on a pier as the sun was rising along the horizon. A man wearing a suit and sunglasses was directing his henchmen around, soon a young man ran across the pier in panic.

"They...They took Mr Zhong!" He panted as he bent over trying to catch his breath.

"They did what?" Mr Zhong snapped as he whirled around to face the other.

"I was checking in with the team who were questioning Mr Zhong for translations, Their bodies were all shot up and some sadist left this broach on the chair which Mr Zhong was tied up on" The young man informed.

Lee Sooman took the broach from the man's hand, took one glance at it before his face turned into one that resembled a scowl. He tossed the broach into the ocean in anger.

"Lee Taeyong!" He said through gritted teeth.

"Sir! There's an unauthorised boat leaving the port!" Another man yelled who was on the boat.

Sooman climbed into the boat and sat down on the plush cushions of the sofa. He casted a glance at his most trusted/newest employees, Jung Sungchan and Osaki Shotaro, before commanding them with a flick of his wrist.

"Follow them"

Meanwhile, on the other side of the harbour, a few minutes prior. Doyoung had found a white motor Yacht which was big enough to fit them all, he had stormed up to the man who was on it with a look of pure determination on his face.

"Sir, I'm gonna have to ask you to hand over the keys to the boat!" He commanded.

The man was puzzled to say the least.

"Sorry but...who the hell are you? The coastguard said that no one's allowed out today!" The man ranted.

Do young rolled his eyes and let out a small puff of annoyance before pulling his gun out of his pocket and holding it to the man's head.

"Oh-well that changes things" The man replied with wide eyes before dropping the keys into Doyoung's' waiting palm.

"Thank you for your cooperation" He said sarcastically.

The man ran off as soon as the gun was put back into Doyoung's pocket, an unimpressed Taeyong sent Doyoung a look.

"What! We're in a rush" Doyoung exclaimed before tossing the keys to Kun who sent him a look that read 'what the hell am I supposed to do with this'

Chenle and Mr Zhong took a seat as Jaehyun opened up the case with the compass in, which he had picked up after the whole shooting chaos.

"Chenle, can you ask your dad to translate the instructions on how to open this damn thing?" Jaehyun said as he picked the compass up and handed it to the teenager.

"How about I do you one better and do it myself?" Chenle said with a shrug as he read the engravings before pressing down on some of the markings.

"What's he doing, he's going to break it!" Doyoung exclaimed as everyone looked over at the kid.

Everyone watched in disbelief as the markings on the compass slowly raised up out of their place, Chenle pressed them back down one by one in a specific order and after a moment of silence the compass started rotating before it opened itself up like a clam.

"Ta-da!!" Chenle said as it fully opened to reveal the compass face, its hands pointing northeast. Coordinates written in faded writing underneath.

"You better take back what you said" Mark said to Doyoung who was lost for words.

Taeyong slowly took the compass from Chenle's hands and walked over to where Kun was trying to figure out how to drive the boat.
