The incident happened very quickly, when it was realized the driver disappeared like in the swallow of the earth. Restlessly Shigima returned home, and soon he went to the rest of the servants to find the driver.
Surprisingly no one knew even the driver that Shigima explained, new questions came to his mind.
Making a confused expression that was fought by Jack, now he is much better despite still grieving in the heart.
"Shigima.. Where have you been?" tanyakanya.
"Dad, do we have a driver with a tall stature, brown skin and a neat beard?"
"Let's know, there doesn't seem to be anyone like that in this residence"
"It's weird, then who's taking me to Chad?" muttered.
"You went to see Chad? what are you doing?" jack asked worriedly.
With a bowed head Shigima replied.
"I asked him to return Jessa safely, but we got into a fight and it was a driver who drove me to shoot Ima"
"W-what?" jack was in shock.
Suddenly his eyes were empty until he dropped into a nearby chair, lamenting the bad luck by massaging his painful forehead.
Aaaaa.....
Suddenly a loud scream made them startled, Shigima and Jack quickly searched for the source of the sound.
On the way to the terrace they cross paths with Amelia and Hans who are also looking for the source of the sound, when everyone is shocked to see the scenery except Shigima.
Chad has avenged his revenge by ransacking his patio manufacturers, the guards collapsing without being able to wake up with serious enough injuries.
"What are you doing?" ask Amelia to panic.
"Give me your subordinate, otherwise I will destroy this castle and its inhabitants" Chad said, ignoring Amelia's question.
"Even if you destroy it it's a waste, the person you're looking for I've been looking for since but he's not in this house" Shigima said.
"Who do you mean? who are you looking for?" amelia asked confused and curious.
"Your branch! the person who had injured Ima almost died" Chad replied which made Amelia even more astonished.
"We already know each other well enough, if it wasn't for Anna being my friend then my patience would have run out by now. Therefore please do not make it any more difficult, there is no point in protecting that person" Colt said sharply.
"Really Colt, he suddenly disappeared and I don't know where he is" Shigima said in a more wailing voice.
"Don't think I'd just believe it" said Agler, who had been by their side for some time.
Walking past them to get inside the house, followed by Colt and Chad, they begin to inspect the castle. Amelia was about to protest but before the word came out of her mouth Shigima was already more signaling for silence.
They began to disperse, inspect each room carefully to spend almost an hour but the search was fruitless.
"I told you he's not here" said Shigima, who was waiting at the altar.
"You owe me two lives, I want them alive and safe when you deliver them. If not, you know the consequences" Chad told Jack.
Unable to return the gaze Jack lowered his gaze under the floor, while Hans was still confused by what had happened.
Without additional warning they decided to go and do a search elsewhere.

Need a quieter place to restore his brain health Reinner said goodbye to go for a while, Mina allowed it because there was still Alisya who accompanied him.
Reinner chose to return to his base, where he found Tianna resting on a chair with his legs raised.
White smoke billowing from the cigar he was smoking, from the butts scattered on Rei's floor could tell that Tianna had been smoking. Nearby Jhon fell silent while crossing his arms, from the look on their faces there was an information ready to be conveyed.
"Welcome" greeted Tianna with a glance.
"When did you smoke?"
"A few hours ago, and I was hooked" he said.
"Where are you from?" ask Jhon.
"A recent incident, Ima son Colt was shot and is currently in critical condition in hospital"
"What's? how come?" ask Jhon in shock.
"Agam kidnapped Jessa and it made Shigima come in a rage, they got into a fight and in one moment Shigima's men shot Ima protecting Agam" Rei explained succinctly.
"Chad kidnapped Jessa? what's for?" jhon asked more surprised at the news.
"I don't know for sure, but if it's not wrong Agam asked for an exchange with Aunt Joy. Right now they're completely screwed up, they almost want to take revenge on Shigima after Mina says that Shigima once attacked Ima"
"Human life has always been like that, even mud still hopes to grow flowers" Tianna said slowly.
"I'm sure that the matter of Shigima attacking Ima was a misunderstanding, but the shooting incident of Ima was intolerable" Reinner said, ignoring Tianna's comments.
A moment of echoing silent, contemplating the chaos that destroyed everything.
"I think 'He' has something to do with this" Jhon murmured.
Knowing 'He' whom Jhon meant Reinner listened carefully.
"The next week as many as five nobles have registered to take the selection exam and Clarkson participated in it, I get evidence Clarkson bribed officers to pass this exam" said Jhon.
"Week later, means we have seven more days"
"We must move quickly, lest Clarkson reach her goal first" Jhon said, nodding his head.
"You guys take it easy, he will fail the test" Tianna said as he turned off his short cigar.
They watched Tianna change his position to sit down and when they saw his eyes that were panning confidently Rei knew Tianna was holding an ace.
"I'm the one who's going to derail the test" Tianna said.
"You can do it?" ask Jhon.
"Just calm down, he just got into my hands" Tianna said.
He also told how luck was so on his side, only sweating on a couch he had saved time to gather information.
He himself was a little surprised to know Clarkson had been interested in him for a long time, this is what he will use.
"I will enter his team, from now on my duty is only to thwart his test so as not to succeed in reaching the throne. The rest I leave to you, I beg Your Majesty to understand my situation" he said.
"You learn fast, now you can decide the right thing by yourself. After all this is done allow me to officially appoint you" Reinner said with a satisfied smile.
"Your Majesty, accept my thanks" Tianna said immediately under Reinner's feet.
"Now the other problem is 'He', Chad isn't a cowardly person who would kidnap an old woman so sure 'He's involved in this. It is also possible that the shooting of Ima was done by his men not Shigima, 'He' deliberately provoked you" said Jhon.
"It looks like it"
"Is the serum finished?" ask Jhon.
"A little more"
"Alright, we will continue to follow his will until the serum is made" he said.

They tried to comb around the castle area to look for clues, because they found nothing then they returned home to begin the investigation from there.
One fact they managed to find out was that the perpetrator was a witch and the bullets were made of silver, which is why Ima suffered such severe injuries that he lost so much blood.
Chad, according to him, though he felt bad for coming home empty-handed.
"Chad.." call Alisya to see her cousin coming back.
"Where's Agler and Colt?" ask Mina.
"The man's gone, now they're still looking for him"
"Oh of course, he must have run away" Mina said with annoyance that made Chad feel like a failure.
"Ima is better, she has been moved to the ward so you can visit her now" said Alisya trying to melt the atmosphere so hot.
"really? I'll see it" Chad said excitedly.
Alisya nodded with a smile, letting Chad go to see Ima.
Slowly he opened the door, trying not to make a sound so that Ima did not wake up. But still as he sat down beside her and removed the hair of Ima that blocked his face because of her position on the face Ima's eyes slowly opened.
"Mmmm... Chad. "call him down.
"Ssshhhhhh. You're still weak, don't move much" he said.
"How's your wound? is it okay?" ask Ima in a very slow voice.
Chad smiles to hold back his tears that are ready to fall, how this lover is so chatty and annoying to make his life unsettled.
"Think of yourself first, you almost lost your life to the bullet" he said in an annoyed tone.
"Huh, who could hurt me like that? it's just a small wound"
"Why are you so stubborn? your mother even had to donate her blood for you"
"really?" tanya Ima glanced with half-opened eyes.
"Ohhh... ****! this time I will really die" said Ima imagining how Mina's anger was more troublesome than her love struggle.
Chad just smiles at the swearing, very typical of the mischief of Ima that he initially thought was a bully.
"Rest me, I'll be outside if you need me" Chad said.
"Why?"
"What" asked Chad back, not understanding.
"You don't want to accompany me here?"
"Not so, you have to rest a lot to recover quickly"
"I just need to suck your neck that's the most powerful drug that can make me powerful"
Blush...
"Don't talk shit!" blow Chad with a pink face.
"Why?" ask Ima while smiling mischievously.
"I really don't understand today's children, you're still SMU why have you talked about such things" said Chad who felt his face was getting heated up with embarrassment.
"I learned from the woman you brought home that night"
"Which woman do you mean?" ask Chad in shock.
"Don't pretend to forget, you even told me to serve him well after you've spent a long night in bed" Ima replied with accusatory eyes.
Chad patted his head after he managed to remember the woman he knew at the bar, he did not expect Ima would continue to remember the woman even though the incident had been a long time ago.
He himself had even forgotten about it, after all that night they did not sleep together because Chad did not want it.
"What did you learn from him?" ask Chad.
Ima smiled full of mystery making Chad a little hesitant to listen.
"Make you satisfied that I'll be treated well"
"W-what's that? why did you learn such an indecent thing?" ask Chad to get angry.
Haha
"Isn't that true? I managed to get your heart and therefore I was free from mounting debt" Ima laughed amusedly.
"Aish... I don't want to talk about this anymore with you, I'm leaving!" chad is upset.
"Chad.". "call Ima stop her steps.
"Don't drown in anger again, Shigima must have done it by mistake" he said, thinking the shooter was Shigima.
It leaves Chad speechless, even after almost dying in vain Ima still thinks of himself and fears Chad will increasingly sink to the bottom of the grudge.
"You don't have to worry, we're taking good care of it" Chad said slowly.
He walked back and closed the door, letting Ima rest while he had to go to the roof to release the emotions that ran in his heart.
It was very disturbing, Ima's arrogant, naughty, chatty nature, stubborn but so easy to sacrifice yourself for her even her pure heart does not allow Chad to take revenge and easily bury his life purpose.
Replacing the day he initially spent strategizing to be a way to distance himself from Ima, he was ultimately completely defeated.
Therefore, if today he loses his presumptuous maiden then he will return to being a cold prince.

Manager San intends to give some reports to Chad but his arrival is greeted by a destroyed gate and Ima's bloodstains are being cleaned, the terrible sight is certainly inviting a great question.
From the waiter he managed to find out what had happened and immediately followed to the hospital, there he met with Alisya and got more accurate information.
"For a few days please handle the office business first, I'm sure Chad can't work well" Alisya said.
"I understand, I will do well" he said.
Suddenly Manager San remembered that Ima was a close friend of Kyra, considering Shigima was her uncle there was a fear Kyra would be involved in this problem so she decided to call.
"Hello, with Kyra here"
"It's me" said Manager San.
"San? what was? I've lost it don't call me first" Kyra said in a whisper.
"I just want to make sure you're okay, I've heard the young master went to the Hermes residence to make a calculation with Shigima so I'm afraid you'll be affected as well"
"What's? what's with them? what's the matter again?" kyra asked without covering up her disgust.
"Did you not know that yet? one of the Hermes family's men shot Ima, which infuriated Chad and the others"
"really? I don't know, I decided to move for my mom's sake so I don't know what's going on with my family" she replied.
"So it seems" said Manager San exhaled a sigh of relief as he knew Kyra was fine.
"Then how is Ima now?"
"He's been moved to the ward"
"Thank God, I'm going to go see him now"
"Alright, I'll wait for you" Manager San replied and the phone ended.
