Jungkook had not been seen for three days since he returned to the Ancient Martial Arts World. During this period, Lisa began her mind-numbingly boring research on the Chu family.

She had searched every nook and cranny for information that related to their family and there wasn’t anything that seemed particularly out of place. However, for some unknown reason, something still felt off to her.

The ‘big brother’ who Jihoon mentioned was a clear indicator that Chu Jongin must have at some point, appeared in the desert.

However, as the heir of his family, why would he be there?

Lisa then remembered Old Jiu and Shi Yi. Immediately, she dialed for him on her phone.

Old Jiu had just completed his training session when Lisa’s phone call came. “Miss Lalisa?”

“Old Jiu, I have something to ask you. Back when we were in the desert, you guys said that you were trying to rescue someone. Who is that someone?” Lisa held the phone up with one hand while the other was hammering away on the keyboard. As expected, the picture on the computer screen was incredibly blurry. One could only make out piles of yellow sand and nothing else.

Old Jiu stole a glance at Jaebeom, who was standing not far away from him. Jaebeom then nodded subtly at him. “Miss Lalisa, we did receive an order from our superior on that day to help rescue the heir of the Chu family. Their private jet had apparently gone off the radar while flying over the desert.”

Lisa thanked Old Jiu right after she received the information she was seeking. Without delay, she called someone else right after hanging up. Her call was answered only a handful of seconds after it started ringing. “Donghyuk, has your big boss dispatched men to the desert?”

“Miss Lalisa, big boss has already sent three elite squads over. There aren’t any signs of trouble as of yet.” Donghyuk paused for a moment before continuing. “Though, he did not send anyone over to your hometown…”

“I’m not worried about that.” Another idea popped into Lisa’s mind. She pulled out a piece of paper from her drawer before scribbling something down on it.

On the paper was drawn nine points. Lisa’s eyes widened as she looked down at these points. “Donghyuk, did Brother Chanyeol venture in the South-Western direction?”

“How do you know?” Donghyuk was shocked. Isn’t this Young Master Tang’s secret operation?”

So this was what happened huh? Lisa took in a deep breath. “Donghyuk, listen to me. I’m going to send you an email. I want you to look at it closely. If the number of correct points is higher than five, I want you to contact me immediately.”

***

Donghyuk hung up and as Lisa had told him, there was already an unopened file waiting for him in his inbox. At this point, he did not care why or how Lisa knew about his personal email address. He opened up the file in which a roughly sketched map was found. There were nine points on it, all of which coordinates were provided. Of these points, three were already marked in red.

These points were the North-Western desert, Baixing Village of N City as well as the town in the South-West where Chanyeol visited.

Donghyuk moved onto the remaining six locations. One of them was located Eastwards of China. Five was found on the border of Japan and four more was found in America. Donghyuk’s heart sank when he realized what these points were. Lisa was making a prediction and if it comes true, then…

Donghyuk immediately called for Jungkook but no matter how many times he tried, his call never got through.

Donghyuk had no choice but to head over to Hoseok and Jaehyun with his phone in hand. These two knew how capable Lisa was but they definitely would not expect Lisa to send them warnings before disaster strikes. Hoseok pulled out a huge map and swiftly located the six points Lisa had selected.
