Not seeing the presence of his beloved daughter made Alex fall into a panic, almost hysterical state.

"What happened?! Where did she go!?" Alex asked, his voice rising. The anxiousness in his voice was apparent, as Alex was truly worried about the safety of his daughter.

Alex had left Tiffany in Burj Al Arab Hotel 4 days ago, as he went ahead and did other matters at that time. He thought while he was occupied with his business, Tiffany could have her own vacation here in the world's 7-star hotel.

The reason Alex could feel assured was because Tiffany was guarded by two of his elite fighters and the prince's bodyguards for extra pacification. She also had the Garuda, a tier 4 mutated beast, protecting her. He could not imagine how in the world she was harmed or kidnapped.

From the guard's information, it was said Tiffany was last seen in the pool this morning, playing happily and energetically. The hotel's workers and executives also did not know how it was possible.

The news of Alex's daughter gone missing was turning into such a shock that even Prince Salem himself sent all of his bodyguards to look for her. The hotel was put into high alert state, as the bodyguards swept the entire floors of the hotel thoroughly.

Despite all of this, Alex still could not stop to be worried. He truly hoped Tiffany was only bored and went flying and she would be back to the hotel or home by herself with the flying beast.

Initially, Alex prohibited her to do that, as he couldn't imagine letting her fly at high speed across the ocean by herself. But now, he only wished that was what she did.

Alex did not remain still as well. While the others were busy with their own tasks of finding Tiffany, he contacted Bali's Doomsday Pillar through the pillar network and asked about this matter. Unfortunately, he only received an earful of scolding from his wife.

"I don't know what to say anymore, Alex. You need, no, you must bring her back. Do not let anything happen to her." Devita said, while angry at first then worried in the end.

Looking at the expression on his wife's face, Alex fell silent and said, "...Don't worry. I will. I definitely will."

The day almost passed, as the sun made its way to the west horizon, but still there was no sign of Tiffany at all. That afternoon, Ardeth had returned from his mission to eradicate the last remnants of the Heavenly Gate in the Middle East region. Upon hearing about the disappearance of Alex's daughter, he immediately went to find Alex.

The man with the tattoo on his face was the guardian of Egypt. He knew almost everything regarding the surrounding states. Therefore, when Alex saw the arrival of Ardeth, the gloomy expression on his face slowly turned for the better.

"Ardeth? It's good you're here, come. Let's talk." Alex said, as he beckoned Ardeth to sit opposite of him. "Ardeth…" Alex said with a sigh, "I am truly hoping she was only being disobedient and playing around with her bird, but what do you reckon? Is there any threat I should worry about? Any other state? Or, any other terrorist organization here? Or is it the Heavenly Gate? Could this be their work? As a form of revenge to me?"Alex said gave voice to all his speculations and suspicions, no matter how absurd.

Ardeth sighed as he saw Alex, the usual calm and brave warrior ended up in such a state.

"Mr Alex, there are no longer terrorist organizations in the Middle East. The Heavenly Gate and the apocalypse have helped us in this matter. As for the other states… currently, the Middle East region is mainly led by us, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Iran and Israel. Hence, the other states will not be so easily involved. Moreover, even if they really did it, what is their purpose? They will only be gifted with your wrath." Ardeth explained his logic in this matter.

Upon hearing Ardeth's words, Alex seemed to be enlightened, "You're right... There is no way she could be taken without a fight with the Garuda guarding her. No one could easily win against a tier 4 mutated beast, let alone without leaving a trace. So... this should be her leaving on her own accord." Alex spoke to himself, nodding his head.

But then, Alex understood, even though there was no one as carefree as Tiarra was, she wouldn't just leave without a word. Alex realized Ardeth seemed to have something to say, but could not blurt it out. It looked like what he wanted to say was not comfortable for him to say.

"What's wrong, Ardeth?" Alex asked, puzzled. "You can freely say it, if it's something regarding this matter."

Ardeth was silent for a second before he opened his mouth, "Here's the thing, Mr Alex. if there are indeed other forces or states involved in this, there is actually one possibility. But..."

"What do you mean with but? What is it? Which organization? Who?"

Hesitating for a while, Ardeth made up his mind, "Mr Alex, as one of the Medjai warriors, the patron army of the kingdom. It is indeed my responsibility to know many things, especially regarding the Middle East region."

Before Alex could ask what was the connection between his status and Tiffany's disappearance, Ardeth beat him to it, "To be honest, we have been clashing with this group of people for quite some time, even before Doomsday began. Although they didn't do much harm, their activities gave us concern."

Hearing that, Alex stood up from his seat, "Who is it? Which group?"

"I'm sure you have heard of them, Mr Alex. The Ahnenerbe organization. Hanz and his men were part of the expedition in Bali." Ardeth said calmly.

"Ahnenerbe organization? The group consisted of Nazi remnats?" Alex asked for confirmation.

"Yes. They have been lurking around Egypt, more precisely around Ancient Egypt's important ruins since World War One. So yeah, we have been having problems with them."

Alex recalled the same thing happened when he went to the ruins in Mexico along with the professor. This organization had a hidden and inexplicable agenda, they also had some of the best fighters in the world, as shown by their Doomsday Pillar's challenge score. However, he couldn't find any connection between all of this and Tiffany's disappearance."

"Why are you thinking about them?" Alex asked, sitting down again, "Is there any particular reason?"

"Actually, we had our suspicions before, Mr Alex. Now, after we destroyed the Heavenly Gate organization, we found proof the Ahneherbe was in relation with the Heavenly Gate. It appeared they have been involved in the rise of the Heavenly Gate."

The revelation was quite shocking for Alex, but after contemplating it for a while, it made a lot of sense. After all, the speed of the rise of Heavenly Gate was too abnormal.

Ardeth then added, "Mr Alex, the recent discovery we had found strongly implies both groups had one cooperation project, one that was closely related. It's about a certain place, which said to be a ruin left by the Ancient Messapotamian civilization."

Alex knew this place was mentioned in the scriptures given by the chemist. The place where they found the "God Essence". He gave the suspicion a lot of thought, as he also didn't like the Ahnenerbe organization that much.

"Ardeth, let's say both groups indeed have a connection. But I can't seem to find the relation between this and the disappearance of my daughter. It seems that they have nothing to do with each other at all."

"Correct, there is indeed no specific connection between the two matters. However, if there is a group capable or brave enough to do this sort of thing, I can only think of them."

The notion sounded far fetched, but it was the only thing Alex had at the moment and seeing the sun was about to set, he might as well follow the only lead he had.

"Thank you, Ardeth. For the information and your concern." Alex said with a smile, before swiftly leaving the room.

Once again, Alex went to the Doomsday Pillar to speak with the Doomsday Pillars in Germany. His intention was to find Hanz or their leader Heinrich. But unfortunately, it appeared none of them could be reached.

Alex was probably only being paranoid, but he truly didn't like the fact the higher ups of the Ahnenerbe organization were away in some kind of business 4 days before the tribulation began. 

The sun rose in the air, signifying morning came and only 3 days remained before the tribulation. There were still no news about Tiffany at all, despite Alex and Prince Salem's effort searching the entire Dubai City. Therefore, Alex decided to follow the only clue he had.

"Ardeth, where is this ruin located?" Alex immediately asked when he met Ardeth.

"Just a few kilometers from the city of Eridu, Iraq. We can reach the place in 5 to 6 hours."

"Alright, let's go."

Anything was better than just sitting and doing nothing. Alex does remember Christina who needed him, but he couldn't just leave his daughter missing like this. Moreover, the tribulation day was near.

Alex told his elite fighters to contact him as soon as they heard the news of Tiffany if she returned. Meanwhile, he would go to Eridu City.
