While the night came to those in Imperial, in the far distance of City Z, it was also late into the night. However, the lights inside the top floor of a high apartment building is kept on.

Inside the apartment, computer equipment is set up throughout the entire living room.

Seated in the center is a man with long hair tied into a high ponytail. In front of him is a desk with two monitor screens and one keyboard.

His long fingers types over the keys like he was playing a piano. It was like the sound of typing was like music to his ears and nothing else matters to him.

"Did you find anything?"

Suddenly, another man walks into the living room and asks the long hair man. However, instead of walking over to the computer station, he heads for the sofa and sits down.

Hearing the question, the man with long hair quickly stops typing. He turns around in his swivel chair to the other man and sighs.

"Nothing. I’ve checked all the surveillance cameras in City Z for the seventieth time. There’s no sigh of him or the woman anywhere."

He leans back on the chair and fold his arms over his chest.

"By now, don’t you think we should contact her? She has more resources than we do. If we let her know, we have a better chance of finding his whereabouts."

Hearing those words, the man sitting on the sofa does not answer. He stares at the coffee table with a picture frame and a news article.

He stares at the picture frame that held a photo of five people standing on what looks to be a stage. The background looked like one during a music performance. However, his eyes remained on the man standing in the center of the group.

The man in the photo had a short buzz cut hair with a wide grin.

It was a grin that makes one feel like nothing in the world matters. A smile that makes one can’t help but smile back.

Staring at the photo, he couldn’t help but faintly smile back at the person. However, as he shift his gaze to the news article, the smile slowly disappears follow by a sorrowful sigh.

"She has finally moved on... We should not bother her anymore but give her our blessings."

The news article was a photo taken during Imperial’s Annual Fall Fashion Show.

On the runway stood a goddess clothe in all white as her eyes stare lovingly at the man sitting in the front with the audience.

For such a scene to be captured, the headline for it entitled, ’Supermodel and designer of De L’amour, Han Yue Ling, and Imperial’s Business King, Lu Tian in a relationship.’

Under the headline are the words, ’a perfect match made in heaven.’

After a long minute passes by, the man slowly close his eyes to calm his mind. When he opened his eyes, he reach for the news article and turns it over.

He stood up and walks towards the computer station to join the man with long hair.

"She made it clear when she left and she didn’t tell us about her new life, except for Hana. We should not involve her with the past."

Stopping at the side of the long hair man, his eyes scans the two monitor screens.

"Continue the search. If we cannot find him within one month’s time, then it confirms that he is no longer in City Z. We will then depart to Imperial."

One month is a long time to search for someone, but they need to be sure. There’s a fifty percent chance that the man they’re looking for might still be hiding in City Z. However, the other fifty percent can be that he already fled the country.
