Inotherwords,onehourhadgonebyinParadise’stime.

“Havetheybeencallingthiswholetime?”

“Yes,ItoldthemIwouldletthemknowwhentheDirectorcomesback,butthey’vecontinuedtocalleveryfiveminutes….”

“Hmm….”

YunSeohuiplacedherhandontheorbbutdidnotpickupthecallrightaway.Shenarrowedhereyesattheorb,thinkingofplayinghardtoget.

ThecurrentrelationshipbetweenValhallaandSinyoungwasatitsworst.Valhalla’srepresentativehadafamilymembertargetedonEarth,andSinyoungwastheprimesuspectbehindtheincident.

Ofcourse,therewasnowaytoprovethattheywerebehindit,butitwastruethattheycommittedthegraveerroroflettingJungMinjongescape.

Hence,thereshouldonlybeonereasonforValhalla’srepresentativetobecallingheratthispoint.

Thefactthathehasbeencallinghernonstoplikeanobsessedex-boyfriend…itjustdidn’taddup.Moreover,theSeolJihusheknewwasamanofactionratherthanwords.

“I’msorry!”

Thatwas,untilsheheardwhattheotherpersonsaid.

“OnEarth…huh?”

YunSeohui’stonewentuptowardtheend.

“…LadyRoeScheherazade?”

“Yes,yes.It’shardtobelieve…butwe’llmakeamoverightaway.Don’tworrytoomuch.”

“DidsomethinghappeninNur?”

“Yes.Ithasn’tbeenconfirmedyet,but…allcontacthasbeencutofffromNurafewdaysago.NotonlytheNurRoyalFamilybutalsoeverysingleorganizationinitisnotpickingupanycalls.”

YunSeohuifurrowedherfairbrowsattheyoungman’sreply.

“Afewdaysago?Howmanydayshasitbeenexactly?Valhalla’srepresentativesaidhereceivedthenewsfourdaysafterhesetofffromEva.”

“Iamnotsure.Weonlyheardnewsofittoday.TheJapanBusinessFederationapparentlyaskedateamthatwasnearbytoinvestigate,butitseemstheylostcontactwiththemaswell.”

Thatmeantsomethingmighthavehappenedmorethanthreedaysago.

Itwascertainlystrange,butitshouldhavebeenfinetotakeactionafterinvestigatingitmorethoroughly.

YunSeohuirememberedtherequestthatSeolJihujustmade.

TosecureRoeScheherazadeandherattendantandprotectthecity.

Andifthatwasn’tpossibleeither,tokillRoeScheherazadeandleavethecity.

YunSeohuiwasinthemiddleofhersecondcallwithSeolJihu,busilydrawingamaponapieceofpaper.

YunSeohuiputherpendown.

“Gotit.I’llformanexpeditionteamandcheckitoutpersonally.”

Withthat,shehungupthecall,tiltedherhead,andlookedupattheceiling.
