"Here are the documents you asked for, sir. Is there anything else you need?"

Jeno flashed the corporal a smile, shaking his head. "That's all, thank you corporal."

Working in the Military Intelligence was definitely not an easy job. Unlike the rest of his brothers, Jeno's job was a little bit more challenging. He worked behind the curtains and spotlight as it is dangerous if his identity gets revealed. 

He was always in the headquarters, doing a lot of background research on people. He didn't mind though. In certain cases, he will be required to look for the target himself.

He's actually confident in his job. In his opinion, the only person that could possibly pull this job off was himself. In fact, he's right. 

Jeno flipped through the documents, leaning back on his chair. It has only been three days since Mark gave him the order to find Son Hyunjoo but he has yet to find trails of her current location. Not even a single strand of hair could be find. She was last seen near the Bloomstone Palace and that was it.

His thoughts were then interrupted by a sudden knock on his door. "Come in."

A tall, brown-haired male walked in. He had a frantic look plastered on his face. "Sir, we found who might know the location of Son Hyunjoo. She was the last person that was seen with her."

Jeno frowned. "But she's always alone, isn't she?"

"That's why, sir. She was always alone, but we found a picture of her with someone else."

The sergeant showed him the picture. It was a picture from a cctv footage. Jeno could definitely tell that this was in the 21st restricted. This area was strictly prohibited for anyone to enter and out of reach. 

"When is this?"

"I think about three months ago, sir. But this could be a lead. After all, she was never seen with anyone other than her."

Jeno nodded. In order to find Son Hyunjoo, he needed to go through someone else first.

Haneul yawned, she was tired of beating people's asses. But fortunately for her, that was her last mission for the day. Which means, she could go back home.

The Noir Mafia was an underground criminal organization. They have been wanted for years, yet the government could never really arrest them. They were always way ahead of them in terms of plans and strategy.

There was a saying that people shouldn't mess with the night wardens unless they want to lose their head, and that was about them. They owned the night time, it was the most glorious time of the day for mafiosos. 

Despite the fact that they did a lot of criminal activities, the government seemed to let them slide frequently. No one actually knows why, but Haneul suspected it was their leader who made a deal with the government.

Haneul walked out of the Noir Mafia base. The base consists of three tall buildings located in the southern part of the city, the 19th district. The building in the middle is only for the high ranking members, including the executives. 

Bloomstone Palace is located in the heart of Neo City, the 12th district out of 23 districts in total. Haneul was thankful that their base was actually quite far away from there. Something about the royalties just made her feel sick to the stomach.

Haneul put her hands inside her pocket. Since it was already late, all she wanted was just to go back home and sleep.

She then noticed something with her senses- someone else's presence. 

She was stopped by the Royal Armies surrounding her, pointing their gun at her. She took out her gun, dropping her body to the ground to shoot the men that came at her. Sliding down, she tackled the men with her legs. They were quick, but they weren't quick enough to stop her.

She almost made it, she really did.

But suddenly, a blue car appeared and a man with brown suit stepped out of it. The man looked familiar, like the guys from the front page of the newspaper. The lights blinded her violet orbs, making her stop for a while. That was her mistake. 

Her hands were then handcuffed, leaving her dazed.

"Jung Haneul, under the name of the Royal Military you need to come with us to the Headquarters to answer some questions regarding Son Hyunjoo and you may not refuse."

That was the only time she was caught off guard completely.
