Sent by Nangnang, the message was simple, informative, and elegant. At the end of it was a name, Alice Ho Lactea. Chi-Woo carefully read over the message and rested his chin on his clasped fingers. He was organizing his thoughts when he heard a knock on the door. Soon, the door opened, and Eval walked in.

“Boss. Just now—”

“Is it a guest?”

Eval looked taken aback by Chi-Woo’s response.

Eval quickly scanned the message, and his eyes narrowed.

“Seems like our troublemaker stirred up something in the end.”

“By ‘troublemaker’, do you mean Yunael Tania?”

“Yes. I thought it was strange that Ho Lactea was going on an important expedition and leaving Yunael. It seems Yunael had gone on a separate expedition with their own party.”

Second, she could’ve escaped in secret. Lastly, she could’ve gotten separated from the team in the middle of the expedition for some unknown reason. Whatever it was, it couldn’t be good news.

“Why don’t...
