When the family arrives in the Golden City, they look at the wealth and riches in disgust. "People are starving and struggling to survive, and these people are the reason." Namjoon scowls as he looks at the wealthy gorging themselves with their riches.
"Despite how disgusting they are, we need to continue our hunt for someone who is more vile than them," Seokjin mutters and scans the city for any signs of the man they are hunting.
"We will stay in an inn for tonight so that we can listen to the whispers on the streets," Namjoon tells his family once he has control of his hatred for the wealthy in the city whose buildings are made of gold.
After riding through the city to find a place to stay, they stop in front of a very extravagant inn that boasts about keeping the identities of its guests a secret.
"Sounds like the perfect place to stay if one is trying to hide their identity." Yoongi mumbles and slams open the inn door, startling the guests.
"My Lords, welcome." The inn's manager bows as the powerful family walks in, scanning their eyes over everyone in the lobby.
"Give us three of your nicest rooms," Namjoon mutters and tosses a bag of gold to the manager.
"Of course." The man bows and motions for the workers to care for the horses.
When one of the workers approaches Jungkook's shadow horse, she screams in shock and horror. She stumbles backward when her hand goes through the beast that is looking at her with pitch-black eyes.
"I would not startle her if I were you. She is easily agitated." Jungkook chuckles and shakes his head as the woman trembles in fear. "But, she is gentle, so stop trembling."
"Yes, m-my Lord." The woman shivers in terror and guides the shadow horse to the stables.
The people in the inn watch the family with curiosity. However, when Jungkook's eyes glance in their direction, they quickly avert their gazes and tremble in fear.
"Weaklings." Jungkook scoffs and follows his family when the manager guides them to their rooms.
Once the manager leaves them, the three of them roam around the floor they are on, searching for any clues about the man they are searching for. As Jungkook roams around the inn, he notices someone with ruby-red eyes watching him from the shadows, so he goes out to an alley.
"Come out." Jungkook deepens his voice as his shadow grabs the person with red eyes. When he sees a very injured man, Jungkook quickly rushes over to the injured man.
"T-taeh-hyung." The man with ruby-red eyes weakly mutters as he looks at the golden dragon on Jungkook's shoulder.
"You know my mate?" Jungkook asks in surprise.
"M-my li-ittle Ononi." The man weakly smiles and nods.
"You are the brother he lost," Jungkook mutters in realization and quickly scoops the injured man in his arms.
When Jungkook enters their room, Seokjin and Namjoon rush over to him in surprise. "Who is he?" Seokjin asks as he begins healing the injured man.
"He is Taehyung's missing brother," Jungkook explains, letting Seokjin take the man out of his arms. "He recognized Taehyung's dragon heart."
"He has been tortured for many years. He is missing his wings and heart." Seokjin whispers in horror as he looks at the frail man.
"I-is Tae-aehyung safe?" The man asks and looks at Jungkook.
"He is at the nest." Jungkook softly responds.
"No. H-he i-is going to the ungh the nest." The man's eyes widen in fear and terror. "H-he has a-an army."
