Early in the morning, Dominic, who had arrived at ZR yesterday, came to Laizen Tower to meet Vander in his room. Vander did have an appointment with Dominic today. So seeing the man instantly slouching into her room, she was already not shocked anymore.

"Boss don't be mad if I go straight into your room" Dominic said upon arrival in Vander's room.

Vander did not respond and immediately asked the point. "So what info are you going to talk to doctor Dominic?"

"You sure we're talking here?"

Vander then invites Dominic to talk on the rooftop and he wants to smoke.

"So what's up?" Vander asked while lighting a cigarette in his mouth.

"Van, do you know the mastermind behind the mysterious disappearance of people in this town?"

"Yes I already know.".

"Then what are you gonna do?"

"Gauren did this blatantly to make me confused. Therefore, right now what I'm focusing on is figuring out where the base is."

"Have you found it?"

"The exact location has not been met, but it is clearly in the southwestern tip of the city. However, the information about Gauren is very limited, considering that he is a person who knows very well how to hide for many years."

"You can get your men in Crux to scout all over the city."

"It's been, but like I said, Gauren isn't a fool. He knows how to camouflage well." Vander breathed cigarette smoke out of his mouth.

"Vander, I think we should make an antidote for Gauren's serum. Because I'm sure, the missing people and the mysterious group that attacked the apparatus are the ones under the old man's control and orders."

"If it's good, do it. I'll fund everything" Vander assured.

"Well if you agree. My lab is based in the northeastern city of ZR, I'll be there to focus on producing the antidote serum."

We see, who will beat who? Me, or that old man!?

In his coffee shop, Miranda was seen continuously staring at Reki who was sitting in a corner near the exit. Gavin, who happened to be in the tavern, helped his wife to realize this, immediately approached her and asked why she kept staring at him with a jealous tone.

"Sttt!" Mira told her husband to shut up.

"Why keep quiet, why? You fell in love with that guy? Is it because he's handsome?"

"Gavin you can be quiet for a minute, no! Do you know who that guy is?"

"Know, he's Reki Helian a pretty decent guy who comes to this tavern and he lives in Caelestis Garden."

"That's not what I mean, actually." Miranda softly explained to her husband that she had been suspicious of him lately. Several times Mira has caught Reki calling someone by the name of Lara. And when Mira tried to ask, the man immediately dodged.

"Well that's right, I have to tell Brother Vander immediately."

"Yes, I think you should tell him right away."

Gavin immediately called his adoptive brother to tell him about Reki.

At a bookstore in the city center, while looking for a book about medical accidentally Dominic met with Rena who was also looking for the same book. Realizing that Dominic saw her, the woman immediately ran away. However, Dominic was immediately chased and pulled the woman's doctor's arm.

"Felt me!" Rena tried to get away from the man.

"No, we should talk Rena."

"Speak what? Our relationship has been over since the day you showed me!"

"OK I'm sorry about that, but you have to listen to my explanation Rena..."

"I don't need an explanation from you, let me go or I scream?"

Unwilling to make a fuss Dominic finally gives up and releases the woman. But when Rena came out of the bookstore, Dominic immediately chased her again.

"Rena wait a minute!"

"Otherwise? Between you and me there's no relationship anymore, so don't ever show up in front of me again! Just take care of your research there!" Rena is angry and looks to show her disappointment to her former fiance.

"Rena wait a minute!"

"Deliver!" Rena pulled her hand from Dominic's grip. "You've left, why else explain! It's all done Dom!" Said Rena in a tone full of disappointment.

"I'm sorry about what happened ten years ago. I was a jerk, I was wrong to leave you and I didn't know you were pregnant with our child."

"Here you go, I don't want to remember that anymore. Go away..." Rena walked away feeling sad.

"Rena... Are you working with Gauren?"

Rena was shocked. "It's none of your business!"

"That's my business because Gauren is evil, you shouldn't have helped him."

Rena chose to keep going.

"So you've changed, your promise as a doctor to heal people is the opposite? Yes Rena?"

Rena clenched her hands and pulled Lara's collar. "What do you care, why suddenly care? Isn't all your research more important than anything?!"

Dominic hugged Rena who even cried in his arms while expressing his disappointment to the former fiancee.

"I'm sorry Rena, I'm sorry, but please don't walk over the black abyss with Gauren..."

Robert came to see his master in his room, where the middle-aged man reported about his investigation of Reki Helian.

"So you found a gaffe on Reki's memoirs?"

"Yes sir." Robert tells that he found an irregularity in Reki's birth history, which if traced from the date of birth of his current identity, which, at all in that month and year there is no record of his birth in the name of Reki Helian, even in the record of dual nationality does not exist.

"Sir, who do you think Reki really is?"

"I still don't know, but if he works for Gauren it's for sure he's a dangerous man." Gavin also called her and told her that Reki was caught calling someone while calling Lara's name as her woman. Does he know Lara? Wait, is it possible?

"Mr Vander?"

"Oh Robert, then please go and keep investigating Reki. Jagan forgot to keep a close eye on his movements, because I'm pretty sure he's very dangerous."

"Okay sir, then I'll excuse you."

After a few minutes after Robert's departure from his room, Vander found a phone call from Dominic.

Vander : Hello?

Dominic: Vander, I know where Gauren's base is.

Vander : Where?

Dominic: Southwest of the town of ZR in a hidden basement near an old ship base.

Vander : Okay!

Vander immediately called Gavin and asked him to immediately scout the area that was allegedly the headquarters of Gauren is currently located.

"It's getting clearer. It seems that he can no longer relax. It's time I also have to deploy all my men and cooperate with the civil apparatus."

In the lounge, Lara who was accompanied by Miranda seemed to be busy chatting while enjoying a snack. But immediately their chat stopped when breaking newsz appeared, which again reported about the mysterious missing people who are now prone to occur in the city of ZR. Even the news is now starting to become a national topic and some international media also highlighted. "Oh my God, but it has been a month, but this case is not getting worse and worse" commented Lara who seemed increasingly worried about making it.

"I was also astonished, he made. Even some of those missing include the mayor's closest confidant. This is fucking crazy! Worse yet, the officers who guard the night are also targeted by them. How could the largest and most advanced city in the country handle this case for so long. It's just so troubling the people!" Said Miranda who was also anxious, considering the location is at the center of the area prone to events.

"Miranda, you have to be careful when you drive yourself. Or you just have to get Gavin home from here," said Lara did not want anything bad to happen to her friend.

"You take it easy I'll be careful. It's precisely you who also have to be careful, you're Vander's famous wife can be..."

"I don't think you're gonna scare me!" Lara panicked.

"Yes sorry, sorry..."

Rey soon returned from her swimming course. "I'm home..." The little man immediately took off his shoes and approached his mother who was in the living room.

"Mama, uh and Aunt Miranda too."

"Hello handsome boy."

"Hello beautiful aunt Mira."

"Rey, quickly wash your hands first, then rest after that shower immediately."

"Ready mam" said the little man, and hurried to do as his mother had commanded.

"Your son is getting bigger the better looking he is. She looks a bit like Vander, but her hair looks like yours, I wish I had a Rey one, too" said Miranda, who was seen rubbing her own belly while somewhat smiling meaningfully. Seeing Mira's smile as soon as Lara became suspicious of her friend.

"Mira be honest with me, are you pregnant?" Guess Lara saw the gelagat Mira who was like a pregnant person for the first time. "Mira said yes?" Urged

Miranda shyly replied, "Um— actually I have tested using a tool and the results are positive and two days ago I secretly checked with the obstetrician. And it's true I'm seven weeks pregnant."

"What's? In seriously? Oh, my God, Miranda... I'm so glad to hear that. Congratulations yes... Oh, yeah, how did Gavin react when he found out you were pregnant?"

Miranda hasn't told Gavin yet, she intends to tell him next week on the day of their first wedding.

"I'm sure Gavin would have loved to know he'd be a father."

"Yes I think so too." Looking at the digital clock at the spell that was already very late in the afternoon, Miranda also gave permission to go home to Lara.

"You're going home yet?"

"Yes, Gavin must have wanted to go home from his workshop. I say hi, say my regards to your husband and son."

"Um— Mira wait, I think you better take Tori home."

"Eh I brought my own car, why ask Tori to take it?"

"Seeing the news earlier I was afraid something might happen to you, plus you were pregnant. So let Tori drive you, yeah, or let Tori escort you home."

What Lara said was true as well, "I want Tori's escort."

"All right, I'll get Tori right away." Lara called Tori who happened to be in her kitchen eating snacks.

"Yes, what's calling me?"

"Tori, I'm asking you to escort Miranda home okay?"

"But there is no escort here, said Mr. Vander I must always look after the lady and the little lord."

"It's just for a minute anyway, I'm not going anywhere."

Tori was a bit hesitant, but how else would Lara keep forcing her. "Well I'll take Miss Mira for a minute, madam please don't go anywhere alone ya..."

"Yes, it's gone escort Mira."

"Let me go home first, you take care of yourself and your child."

"You too."

"Yes, bye..."

"Bye Miranda."
