Rumbles of the skies shakes the ground of the silent night. Every single servant and people in Maple's couch Household face look even darker than the night sky. Eyes on the floor, no one dared to look at the Old Master's face. Stifling pressure atmosphere exuded from the Old Master grew even more menacing.

His hand tremble tremendously upon the wooden cane. The muscles on his face bulge as he heard the last sentence of the report.

Old Master, " T-This is..." His hand covers his forehead and staggered a few steps back. Seeing this, Kei swiftly grabs his hand and help him to steady his body to the chair next to him.

The old man brushes his hand away harshly as he sits and points his fingers to the few other bodyguards that kneel in front of him with an ashen face.

Old Master raises his voice furiously, " HOW CAN YOU NOT PROTECT HER!! "

They kneel quietly without any answer, one of them who seems to be their leader lowers his body even deeper and dogeza to the floor.

" M-My apologies...master...W-we, the young lady...she...they kidnapped her in front of the school, w-we..." The man couldn't continue his explanation and could only plead for his life in fear. " Please forgive us!! "

The Old Master couldn't bear his anger and disappointment anymore, now that Li Lian has been kidnapped by them, he couldn't bring her back even if he cut all the fingers on their hands. He could only rub his aching heart in distraught.

Looking at the Old Master's complexion growing even darker, Kei waved his hand and orders his subordinates to retire the people kneeling in front of the Old Master.

Kei, " Master, we've called the people around the city to continue the search for clues of young lady's whereabouts and..." he look at the Old Master's expression and hesitantly stop his words.

The Old Master grew anxious and hurried him, " And what?! "

Kei's looked down and knelt in his knees to the floor, " Please forgive my incompetence! ...The last clues we could find are from the South-West Port...They transfer the young lady on a ship to China. "

Hearing the grave news, the Old Master's heart sunk. His face loses all its color and became even whiter than a paper.

The Old Master's tone grew weaker with the aching pain on his heart, his hand dig deeper through his Haori, " Prepare the money and don't contact the police! We need to follow their demands...Or else Rian...She..."

(Haori: A Japanese traditional clothe)

Kei obediently nods, took his phone and commands all his subordinates to follow the kidnapper's demands.

Following Kei's order, dozen of doctors rush to the Old Master. The Old Master anxiously continues " And, Where are Shin and Shun? "

Kei, " They are preparing to go on a search too "

The Old Master, " Call them back Don't let them do anything rash!!"

The Old Master's cane pound on the floor along with his threatening order, " DON'T EVEN THINK OF SHOWING YOUR FACES TO ME IF SHE LOSES A STRAND OF HER HAIR!!! "His voice vibrated through the whole house, bringing fears to all the servants.

That night not a single person in the Maple household could rest even for a minute, without any rest, the moon shifts with the Sun.
