“Thank you, Narissa! You can hand them over to me!” replied Mila as she took the parcels from her. “And thank you for giving me the opportunity to appear on television for a show! Thank you so much!” “You’re welcome. We’re all good friends after all! Either way, I think we should open the packages now and see what we got!” replied Mila with a smile. Since Narissa wanted to get closer to Mila again, she stayed to watch them open their packages. Including her, there were now four people in their dormitory. “…Huh? There’s a parcel for each of us! Could it be that all three of our boyfriends sent us gifts at the same time? Hahaha! Though that’s most likely improbable!” joked Molly. “My guess is that they’re from the overseas expedition team. The three of us are, after all, entourages for the expedition team!” “Yeah, it’s probably from them!” With that, the three of them then began opening their respective parcels… “…Huh? A… Pendant? It looks a little strange, don’t you thin

“It is! I really hadn’t expected to bump into you again!” replied Gerald with a nod. The woman in question, was none other than Alice. He had initially thought that he wouldn’t ever see her again after the incident in the Fenderson family mansion. To think that he would bump into her again so soon! Gerald still remembered what Alice had said to him that night, and he was honestly still feeling bad about it. Had she not met him, she could’ve been living a much better life now. As if her suffering wasn’t already enough, she would’ve definitely been beaten up much more terribly by that man had he stepped any later! Seeing the state she was in made Gerald truly saddened. After all, he no longer held on to any resentment toward her. “Are you alright?” asked Gerald. “I… I’m fine! I’m just a loser now, Gerald… Do you want to beat me up too? After all, I’m just some vain girl who loves money and is willing to do anything for it! I’m beyond shameless! Just leave me be!” replied Al

Holding on to her stomach as she wiped her tears away, Alice took her cell phone out and began sending a text message. It wasn’t long after when a knock was heard at her room’s door. Upon opening it, the person who stood outside turned out to be the same man who had beaten Alice up earlier! “Is it done, miss? And here I thought that the young master would’ve already picked you up and left with you by now!” said the man with a chuckle. “Here’s the money, now get out of my sight! Also, while I did tell you to put on a great show, don’t you think you were being a little too harsh?” replied Alice angrily. “Hey, it’s all because of my intense acting skills that the young master ended up buying it! Haha! I can see that he’s fainted… Since you’ll be free for the rest of the night, why don’t we… ” “Get lost!” shouted Alice as she glared contemptuously at the man before slamming the door shut. It was true that Alice had earlier set Gerald up. After all, the only way she would be abl

“A luxury car?” said Mila as she quickly turned to look as well. Mila could feel her heartbeats quicken as she watched the sports car swiftly make its way into the port. ‘Has Gerald finally come?’ As the car came to a screeching halt, Mila found herself slowly walking forward. Out stepped a young man with a bouquet of fresh flowers in hand. Seeing how romantic he was being, almost everyone present—especially the girls—began feeling jealous. “Sorry I’m late, Hallie!” said the young man as he removed his glasses while smiling. “You’re not late at all, darling! I’m delighted to know that you rushed all the way here just to see me off!” replied Hallie as she skipped rather excitedly toward the young man. When she moved past Mila, however, she made sure that Mila saw her smirking at her before saying, “Why did you walk so far ahead? Did you honestly think that it was going to be your rich boyfriend? Too bad! This one’s mine!” Hallie felt extremely satisfied after saying t

Gerald found himself sitting crossed-legged on the port in his resentment. Nothing else could be done. All he could do was wait for Mila’s return and explain to her what had happened the night before when she finally came back. The rest of the day passed by quickly and before Mila knew it, it was already night. With the sea being so peaceful as the ocean liner sailed on, even the faintest of sea breezes could be heard. “That’s enough dwelling on it, don’t you think, Mila? Since we’re all probably tired by now, let’s go get a bite!” said Molly as she prepared to go get some food for her. “Alright…!” replied Mila with a slight nod. “Now that’s more like it! Still, why did the investigation team have to take our phones away? How boring!” said Molly who just wasn’t used to not having her phone around her. “But of course! Private information about the investigation could easily be leaked if we had our phones with us! While being strict isn’t necessarily a bad thing, I never thou

“…P-professor Shevall? Professor Shevall…?” called out Mila in a soft tone. “Hmm? What’s wrong, Mila?” asked the professor as he looked at her with a gentle gaze and smile. “A… symbol of some sort seems to have appeared on your neck…” Under different circumstances, Mila would’ve just assumed that the symbol was just rash from all the professor’s scratching. However, the symbol looked far too familiar for it to simply be rash. “…A symbol? What could you possibly be talking about, Mila?” asked Professor Shevall as a bitter smile formed on his face. It was at that moment when Mila became certain that it wasn’t just mere rashes on the professor’s neck. Rather, the symbol on his neck was one that she recognized. It looked exactly like the sun symbol on her pendant! “It… It looks exactly like the symbol on the pendants we received!” said Mila, now getting increasingly frightened. Hearing that, the others present began looking at each other before each fishing out their own pe

Violent waves had just crashed onto the side of the ship, and by the looks of it, many more were soon to come. The thunderous waves were so high that they easily scaled the entire ship. Every passing wave was now drenching the deck. Everyone aboard began screaming as the ocean liner slowly began sinking into the maelstrom. However, no matter how much they screamed, the chaotic waves seemed to drown all their voices. The night was dark, but the ocean was even darker… By the time the sea finally calmed itself again, a giant object could be seen descending into the depths. While it was faint, the symbol on the pendant made a brief appearance before disappearing, just like the ocean liner had. “Is Mr. Crawford awake?” asked Fynn as he hurriedly headed for Gerald’s room with a few documents in hand. It was already the next day and Gerald was currently in a house on an island that Jessica had rented. “Mr. Crawford’s up and he seems to be in a rather good mood today. He’s even a

“Bring her over!” said Gerald as he stood up. Getting the approval he needed, the bodyguard then left to get her. A brief moment later, the girl was escorted over by a few other bodyguards. The girl herself appeared to be shy, though it was a reasonable reaction. After all, who wouldn’t be terrified standing in a port filled with thousands of luxury cars? As if that wasn’t enough, at least a thousand black-suited bodyguards were standing all over the place! No ordinary person would ever approach the scene without proper reason. “A-are you… Mr. Crawford? Mila’s boyfriend…?” asked the girl meekly. “I am,” replied Gerald with a nod. “I-I go by the name of Narissa Martin… I’m a good friend of Mila’s… I heard that you were investigating the liner’s disappearance… While I do have some information about it, I’m not really sure if it’ll help with the search…” “Go on then. It may lead to the next clue!” replied Gerald immediately. “Well… The night before, Mila, Molly, and Wanda
