City O, Country A
"Pfft!" A man on his early thirties cough up blood.
"Chairman Gu! What happen?" His secretary freak out after seeing him throwing up fresh blood.
"Rae Gu.... Call Rae Gu for me right now!" Chairman Gu bellowed while wiping the blood on his mouth.
The secretary nodded and immediately got his cellphone from his pocket.
Every time Chairman Gu lose his composure, it was always about Rae Gu. So he was used to it and knows for sure that something must have come up.
The secretary dialed Rae Gu's phone number on his phone and put it beside his ear.
[The number you have dialed is currently unavailable.] The secretary gulped and turned his head to looked at the chairman.
Chairman Gu was restless on his chair and his right index finger keep on tapping the table.
The secretary dialed the number again, but still can't contact her.
"Chairman Gu, I can't contact her. I think her phone was off." The secretary informed Chairman Gu meekly.
"What?!" Chairman Gu stood up from his seat, his eyes wide opened with his face turned terrified.
Falling into contemplation, Chairman Gu remembered that Rae Gu would always spend her summer on their villa in Country X, to visit the tomb of her deceased family. [It can't be that she found the pearl, right? Even my seal was weakened. But why? only when she was on a dangerous situation would the golden pearl activate to protect her, did something really happen to her?"
Chairman Gu's furrowed his brows, his sharp eyes savagery sweep through the face of his secretary. "Book me flight to Country X today."
The secretary tried to shrink his presence earlier when the Chairman was enraged. But now, he was also swept by the Chairman's savage eyes that made his body trembled.
Afraid to receive his wrath, the secretary answered right away, "Yes Chairman, right away."
"No! Prepare a private plane, I need to go now." Without waiting for his secretary response, Chairman Gu picked up his coat and strode outside his office.
Before the secretary could react, Chairman Gu was already outside his office. The secretary instantly followed Chairman Gu while dialing a number on his phone. "Prepare the Gu family's private plane now. We are on our way to the airport."
Chairman Gu rode on his private elevator and directly went to the parking lot.
"Keys." Chairman Gu extended his hand in front of his secretary.
"Here."The secretary quickly handed the key over to his boss.
"I will go alone, you stay here." Opening the car, Chairman Gu went inside and started the car.
[Please be safe Rae Gu.] Gritting his teeth, Chairman Gu accelerated the car to it's fastest speed.
His secretary stood stiffly and was left on their company's garage. He sighed after seeing the car swiftly went out of the garage.
"I guess, I can go home early for today." The secretary went back to his office with no choice.

Meanwhile...
Arriving at the scene, Bai Rou was shocked by the devastated appearance of the place as it was totally wrecked.
All the trees in the surroundings were either uprooted or cut in half, some of it was on fire, and there were ice spikes everywhere, even the ground were uneven.
He surveyed his eyes around and finally saw Huang Ryu lying on the ground unmoving.
His heart pounded with worry after seeing him immobile, Bai Rou quicky went over beside the Lord with paled face, hoping that nothing really bad happen to him.
"Huang!" Calling out to his name, Bai Rou crouched down and hurriedly checked for his pulse.
Subsequently, his face changed from being worried to stunned and from being stunned to elated.
Bai Rou looked at the face of the sleeping Huang Ryu on the ground. [What really happen?]
Standing from the ground he moved to looked around and try to check if there were others in this place, since he couldn't believe that killing all this assassins was all alone done by the Lord, as he knows that the Lord's body was unwell.
Also, Not only was the assasins annihilated, Huang Ryu was also totally fine and was only in his deep slumber, even his old injuries that has been his problem for years was unexpectedly healed.
After Bai Rou went around the battlefield, he sighed to himself when he couldn't find anyone aside from the gruesome corpses on the ground.
Going back to the Lord side, he sat down and just waited for the Lord to wake up from his sleep.
"Whoever you are, We're very thankful for your kindness." Murmuring by himself, Bai Rou looked up in the sky smiling.
Bai Rou who was still sitting on the ground, looked towards the Dark guards who were arriving one by one on the scene.
"You three stay here with me, and the rest of you, go over to the manor and checked for the situation." Bai Rou commanded them sternly to his subordinate.
"Yes Commander." The dark guards spread out, and was now on their way to the manor.
Hours later, Huang Ryu's finger moved a bit and his eyes slowly opened.
Sensing a movement beside him, Bai Rou turned his head and saw Huang Ryu opening his eyes.
"Thank goodness you're awake, or i might need to carry you like a princess, and i'm sure you don't want that, do you?" Bai Rou jokingly said and smiled wholeheartedly at the Lord.
Huang Ryu's mouth twitched at his statement. "Go ahead and try."
"No thanks! I still want to marry, I can't have myself rumored to be a broken sleeve." Bai Rou mirth.
"Tsk! No would want to marry you with that stoic face of yours." The Lord harumph and showed a grinned and asked, "What happened after I fainted? Do you know?"
He slowly supported his limbs and stood up from the ground while Bai Rou helped him up.
"I don't really know. I had encountered one of the assassins on my way here, so i took care of him, but after arriving in this place, this scene was what greeted me." Bai Rou turned his head towards the bloody scene before facing the Lord again.
Huang Ryu followed his gazed and was stunned by what he saw. He now remembered Rae Gu who came back to his side earlier.
"Where's Rae Gu?" His heart was throbbing with fear, he felt like someone was gripping his heart, not knowing why, but after not seeing her around, his ego's been telling him that he won't be seeing her again for a long time.
"Huh? Who was Rae Gu?" Bai Rou was confused as he didn't know anyone with that name.
"Your mistress!" Huang Ryu raised his voice with panic and tried to stand on his own feet, but his knees was not able to support his body and fell back on the ground as his strength was totally sucked dry earlier when he fought.
"Oh? She was here? I didn't see her when I arrived." Bai Rou stated factly.
After hearing Bai Rou, Huang Ryu panic and bellowed towards his subordinates, "You find her now!!!"
"Okay okay! Relax. We will surely find her." Bai Rou tried to pacify him, worried that it might affect his recovery.
"You should rest first, or your old injuries might recur."
"What do you mean?" The Lord looked at him puzzledly.
"You old injury was now healed, I don't know who cured you, but it was a such blessings." Bai Roy grinned as he stood up from the ground.
"What?" Huang Ryu was frozen stiff on the ground. Now that he thought about it, his body felt light.
Checking his body, all his injuries from the fight earlier was now totally healed, even the hole on his shoulder was now gone.
[Is it you?] A woman's beautiful face flashed on Huang Ryu's mind, his brain was now even more confused. It seems that there were a lot of mystery surrounding her true identity.
He sighed and glanced at Bai Rou, "Be sure to find her, tell Shu Ren to used all the Spectre Corps resources."
"Yes, my Lord."
A dark guard arrived in front of them from the manor and bowed his head as he reported. "My Lord, Commander, we have cleared up everything in the Manor."
"Hm. Help me up, let's go back." Nodding his head, the Lord urge Bai Rou to help him up.
Bai Rou nodded and supported him as they walked back towards the Manor.
