"Have you received any communication from her?" 

"No, sir. The last time she contacted us was to inform us that she's still trying to find Wallace." 

The man who asked the question was Troy, the leader of the Zairusian's delegates, and was answered by Lucian. They were now in a different location after the attack that has occurred on their previous hotel. 

Max was together with Lucian as they were called by Troy in his room. The place they were staying at was now closer to the venue of the International Competition.

They still have about a week to prepare before the competition thus, making Troy hopeful that Yumi would find Wallace on time. 

He was the one who picked up the letter that Wallace left so he was aware that the escapee still had plans to attend the competition.

He recalled that the letter only said he would be looking for something important in this country and it would take him some time depending on the situation.
