Various Places

Outside of Golden Heights,

"Jace?" Song Yu who was prepared to meet up with the boss of ZIUS stopped in her tracks, pon seeing a familiar silhouette of a man she knew for a long time. She saw a man wearing a black leather jacket with black pants and leather shoes with back facing her, she called out while walking towards him.

The man who heard his name, turned and saw a elegant and alluring lady walking towards him. The lady had a her hair tied into a messy bun, with few strands of her fringe coming down. Making her looked even more attractive.

He could see the perfect features wanted by many women, thin brown brows, thin pointed nose, big does eyes, and thin kissable lips. Her jaws were defined, Jace smiled looking at the woman he had adored for a very long time.

He looked at her gently before stretching out his hands to welcome the woman for a hugged, the woman was none other than Song Yu. Upon seeing the man opening his arms for her, she tilted her head and smile before giving the man a warm hugged.

"When have you comeback from France?" Song Yu hugged the man and asked him in a happy and glad tone.

The man hugged her back and asked in a disappointing tone, "Aren't you happy seeing me?"

"Of course.....I missed you!" Song Yu said in a glee.

"Ariela, i am sorry for what my brother did. I promise you, it is never my idea to...."

"I know, Jace" Song Yu interrupted him, she knew him for a very long time. She had known that he would surely blamed himself or worry too much.

Jace smiled widely, he pulled back from the hugged and scrutinized Song Yu from head to toe. He raised an eyebrow, noticing the drastic changed of her throughout the years of not seeing each other.

"You've grown!" Jace said amused.

Song Yu slapped Jace chest and said, "Don't start flirting with me!"

"That was a praised." Jace added.

"Akira, we have to go now.." Riku who had been standing by the side for a very long time, looking at the two closed friends get familiar with each other. She shook her head the the lady who yet again forgotten the timing again. And yet still dare to tell her that Tang Ai treat her as a kid....

Song Yu trusted a few people to follow her, she did not want to risks the possibility of someone she knew tell people about her being the boss of SHADOWS. Hence, she called Riku a few days ago. She had told her to accompany her to Country A and bring Yakuza Clan along with them.

She trusted Riku, she asked her to help her during the time she is in Country A. Hence, Riku agreed and followed her to Country A. She brought some of her Yakuza Clan people with her,Song Yu still had other plans for Riku to bring her clan over to Country A.....

Song Yu looked at the time on her watch and saw that it was indeed the time to meet the ZIUS boss, she disappointedly turned towards Jace. "Jace, I have to go...we'll talk later."

Jace smiled as he looked at Song Yu, "We'll catch up later." Jace tried to not show that he was sad that Song Yu was leaving and tried to stay composed and not show any emotions.

Song Yu gave him one last hugged before leaving, she went into her car and drove off. After Song Yu left, Jace stood in the same spot. Not wanting to move, all of a sudden. The rain started pouring heavily, just like how Jace is feeling in his heart.

In SHADOWS base,

A man wearing a black colored three piece suit stepped out of the car, the man walked towards the main porch of the base with few of the man behind him. His face could not be seen by others, as he was wearing a mask. Hiding his face from public eyes, leaving SHADOWS all on alert.

"Stop, please give me the pass" One of SHADOWS man blocked the man's route, not letting him passed.

The man stopped, and looked at the person that dared to blocked him. His remained indifferent and unaffected, "ZIUS" the man replied with a word and continued to walked towards the main porch.

SHADOWS man heard that it was ZIUS people, he quickly wen forward and stopped them yet again. "Hold on a moment" The man said in a polite tone before calling for someone.

After a few minutes 2 man came out, they signaled the gatekeeper to opened the gates. A man wearing a platinum colored mask walked towards the man which is none other than Gu Chen, he stretched out his hands and said "You must be the said King Yama of the underworld, please to meet you. I will be the one who will escort you in before waiting for our boss to come." Daemon said politely before waiting for the man to shake his hand, which did not come.

Gu Chen ignored him, he stared blankly at daemon. "This way please!" Daemon ignored the impoliteness and escorted the man into the base.

The gates opened, and a secret passage right beneath the gates were opened. Steps of stairs could be seen, Gu Chen remained unfazed. Daemon gestured for Gu Chen to enter before following after, as he was a guest invited to SHADOWS base by Song Yu. They could not be trusted to get into the base, hence. The secret passage was build, it was meant for guest or strangers to be there.

Only those of SHADOWS can get into the main headquarters, or else they would only be able to enter the secret passage. Which would lead them to an underground guest room, some play area, winery and meeting rooms.

After walking for a good 10 minutes, they finally reached the main floor. There was numerous doors on the main floor, the corridor was narrow and crampy and narrow. Only able to let one person walked along the corridor to any of the rooms.

There was number plates on the door, I, II, III, IV, V,VI.....the numbers were clad with rose gold linings. Daemon walked in front and lead them to room VII. Once they entered, the interior were worlds apart than a while ago.

Seemingly from two different worlds, outside looks like a rundown underground basement. But after entering the rooms, it looks like a high end meeting room. The room was not big, it was just a small room big enough to have 12 people to enter.

There was a huge white colored conference table in the room, with black leather swivel chairs. At either side of the table, there was 5 chairs. Gu Chen sat at the left side of the table while Daemon with the other two sat at the right side.

"K, I am curious. Why did you only brought a few men with you?" Zachary asked, curious about why would the man be so relaxed. 'K' is the nicknamed for Gu Chen in the underworld. It meant as King or the underworld.

Gu Chen scoffed,"Do you dare to kill me?" he challenged.

"..." Everyone did not know where did that confidence of his came from.

Before anyone could continued further, they heard the sounds of heels. Everyone turned towards the door and saw a slim silhouette entered the room. Song Yu was wearing her usual combat outfit, with her own designed boots.

She walked into the room with a cold and intimidating aura, she held her head high with back straight. Looking confident and prideful, she walked into the room and to her chair without caring about the eyes looking at her.

After she entered the room, riku followed suit. She was wearing a bulletproof navy blue yukata. "Oops, seems like everyone had reached." Song Yu sat down, she took a sip of the cup of water on her table.

Gu Chen was a little taken aback that the said 'Ariela of the underworld' was a lady. "it seems like the rumors are true" he said in a slightly amused tone.

"Could this be the 'K'?" Song Yu ignored what the man said and asked in a provocative tone, she somehow feels that the man felt familiar to her.

"Ho..."

"What did you say before I entered the room?..." Song Yu stood up and walked towards the man, she took out her S.A from her right gun holster and pointed at Gu Chen's head.

"Who dared to kill you?" Song Yu said in a puzzled tone, while carelessly pointing the gun on the man's head.

ZIUS men hurriedly rushed forward and took out their gun, which alerted SHADOWS men. Everyone stood up and took out their gun, pointing at each others. The situation became frenzy, "Guns down!" One of Gu Chen's men spoke up.

Everyone as standing except Gu Chen who seems unaffected, Song Yu pulled the trigger and point at Gu Chen, "Tell me, why did you interfere with us?" she did not bother about the rest and asked impatiently.
