While talking with Evelyn, everyone moved to library manager's room and gave the map to the manager and asked him to find that place. The manager said
"No, it's impossible. All those who went to search for that place never returned back."
Evelyn said "that is because they don't have a map, but we do. And it clearly shows the location of that place in the map."
During the conversation Evelyn mentioned its another name as the city of gold. Hearing this, Jonathan's eyes lit up, became interested and asked many questions to Evelyn.
And during the meeting the map suddenly caught fire beside the candle, others quickly put off the fire but it was too late as half of the map was burnt. Seeing this Jonathan said
"It is not understandable even when the map was full. Now the map was half burnt, how can we find it and become rich?"
Seeing the half-burnt map, the manager said "you guys are really lucky, now you don't have to die in search of that place. You should feel happy."
After finishing the conversation with the manager, they came out of the room and Evelyn asked Jonathan.
"Jonathan, where did you find the box?"
Hearing the question, Jonathan said "I found it near the city of Thebes."
Hearing this "we have to go there, maybe we can find some clues."
"Can I also come there?" asked Ajay.
"Of course, you can come with us." Saying this she smiled softly.
Seeing that his sister did not object, Jonathan said nothing and planned to go to city together tomorrow.
"Eve, when all of this is over. I will give you something." Said Ajay.
Eve interested "really? What is it?" moving towards Ajay quickly
"Don't get excited my dear Eve, it's a surprise made by myself. And I promise you will definitely like it, you can look forward to it."
Hearing him calling her intimately in front of her brother and cousin, she blushed lowered her head "Mm I will."
Seeing her like this, he smiled "well, see you tomorrow everyone. Hope we will have an interesting adventure."
When Ajay left Sofia with teasing look took Eve to have a private chat leaving Jonathan alone in the dust. And with no one accompanying him went to bar.
With that everyone parted ways with each other.
Early in the morning everyone travelled and arrived at the city after some days of travel. And Evelyn asked Jonathan to take them to where he found the key. Jonathan took them to jail.
Seeing they arrived to jail Eve asked "you stole this from a prisoner? You lied to me."
"I lie to people, what made you think I spoke truth." Said Jonathan.
"but I am your damn sister, how can you lie to me?" Eve said angrily.
"then I can lie to you even more" he shrugged and said cheekily.
Hearing that Evelyn tried to stomped her foot on Jonathan's foot. But, Jonathan knowing his sister moved his foot aside. Seeing her brother avoiding her foot Evelyn decided to focus on the work.
She said to Jonathan "brother, take us to person where you found the key from."
Evelyn, Ajay, Jonathan and Sofia came to cell, and the guards brought a man with a ragged shirt and pant with messy brown hair. Seeing him all four of them thought he was some beggar. And seeing him Evelyn asked her brother.
"brother…, this is the man you stole it from?"
"Yes, that's him."
Hearing this, Oconell said "who are you?"
"Hi, I am Jonathan they are my sister Evy and Sofia, he is Ajay" said Jonathan.
"Hello" nodded Ajay.
"How do you do?" replyed flatly. Although Evy did not care about him, since her brother said he is the key she had to exchange pleasentries.
"Hello sir I am Sofiya, how are you?" Sofia said gently.
Hearing this did not know why but Oconell felt like something was hurting his heart but didn't care much. But felt better after Sofia introduced herself.
Seeing this Ajay chuckled inwardly 'look at that, Eve didn't give a damn about him. Looks like the heroine is going to be mine'.
In response Oconnel said "oh hello everyone" looked at everyone "well guess its not a total loss huh".
"I beg your pardon"
Jonathan from beside asked her to ask about the box.
"Take a look at this, we found your puzzle box and came to ask you about it".
"No" said Oconnell shaking his head.
"No!?" exclaimed all three of them with question marks on their faces except Ajay, since he knew the plot. He just smiled and shook his head.
"No, you came to ask me about Hamunaptra" said Oconnell.
"How do you know that the box is related to Hamunaptra?" asked Evelyn questioningly.
"Because that is where I was when I found it" pointing at the box "I was there" said Oconnell.
"You were actually at Hamunaptra?" asked Evy excitedly.
Hearing that "Yeah, I was there" said Oconnell.
"Really?" asked Sofia.
"You swear?" asked Evelyn sharply.
Oconnell nodding "yes it's real, I Know that place and I have been there once and also" looking at Evelyn "I would gain nothing from lying to a stranger."
"You—" Evy felt a bit offended, Ajay sensed something and stopped her.
Evelyn, seeing its Ajay she calmed down a bit. Since he know what would happen next Ajay nodded to Sofia to ask him.
Sensing Evelyn's mood "Could you tell us how to get there?" asked Sofia before Evelyn get mad and ruin the conversation.
Sofia moved forward and kept a hat between their two faces so that other may not be able to see and asked secretly "I mean the exact location sir."
"You want to know?" asked Oconnell his eyes twinkling.
"Well yes"
"Do you really want to Know it that much?"
"Yes" said Sofia firmly.
Oconnell signalled with his finger to come forward and Sofia moved her face towards his face and then Oconnell kissed her and said "get me out of this place"
Suddenly being kissed by a man Sofia froze there as if petrified.
And Oconnell was beaten down by the guards and then dragged away. Sofia still in shock awoke by Evelyn and blushed about the kiss and the jail warden came there and told the guards for punishment, at that time Ajay asked warden.
"Mr. warden, is there any way to get him out of there?"
"No, his punishment is finalized and will die today" said warden sternly.
"What about giving you some compensation?" said Ajay giving a brown colour box {who knows where it appeared out from} in which it contains many gold and diamonds which he got from daily free lottery draws.
When warden opened the box, he was shocked beyond the words, and seeing Ajay take the gold and diamonds out both the girls were shocked as for Jonathan, he's already fainted due to seeing Ajay giving those things like it's nothing.
Ignoring them "can you release him now?" asked Ajay.
The warden came out of his shock and closed the suitcase and hugged it tightly like his missing wife came to home after many days of missing and then said.
"Yes, Yes!, You can take him away. But no returning of the box"
Ajay just shrugged like its nothing "whatever, ask your guards to bring that guy here."
"Guards bring that guy over here" yelled the warden.
Eve came out of shock and came near Ajay and asked "Ajay, just to be sure that my eyes are not deceiving me, what exactly is in that box?"
Ajay thought of something smiled mischievously and said "are you sure you want to know about that?"
"Yes" said Evelyn.
"Then, I will tell you but, you have to kiss me" said Ajay teasingly.
Hearing this Evelyn blushed a bit but did not want to ask any further questions and seeing her brother fainted, although she wanted to do it, she chose to ask her brother went beside Sofia.
Seeing her blushing mess Ajay smiled and shook his head and didn't want to press any further and make her feel more embarrassed.
"Is that guy worth this much to you all?" asked warden.
"Yes, he is worthy it", said Ajay
Then the guards brought Oconnell and handed him over to Ajay.
"Hi, my name is Ajay it's nice to meet you" said Ajay.
"Nice to meet you too I am Oconnell" said Oconnell.
Then "so how was it?" asked Ajay with smile.
"What?" asked Oconnell
"I mean the kiss, how is it?" asked Ajay
"It felt good" said Oconnell with smile.
"What felt good again?" asked Evelyn and an angry Sofia.
"Of course, the kiss" said Ajay unconsciously
Ajay suddenly felt something was wrong and slowly turned his head back. There he saw an angry Sofia and a smiling Evelyn where her eyes shows otherwise. Seeing this Ajay shuddered, at the same time Jonathan woke up and he was about to ask some questions and Ajay said.
"Jonathan, you take care of your sister and cousin, I will take care of him" then at the same time before Oconnell could react, Ajay caught Oconnell hand and ran away from there.
"Ajay/Bastard, you stop there right now" said Evelyn and Sofia angrily.
But both Ajay and Oconnell did not stop there and ran away.
After escaping from them, Ajay took Oconnell to the hairdresser for clothes and weapons. At the hotel where they stayed, Ajay then gave him a room so he could take care of his bath and other needs before meeting the group in the lobby.
Ajay came to the lobby after taking care of Oconnell needs and saw Eve, Sofia and Jonathan talking seriously about something. Jonathan then saw Ajay coming down and stopped talking with them and rushed directly towards Ajay and asked.
"Ajay, how did you get those in the box?" asked Jonathan as he still remembers the previous scene.
"Hm? What are you talking about Jonathan?" Ajay smiling asked innocently like he doesn't know what he is talking about.
"Don't act like innocent guy Ajay, I am talking about those gold and diamonds" Jonathan asked, his eyes practically screaming.
Ajay just chuckled inwardly noticing Jonathan and the two women's stares.
"Well, I obtained from previous adventures" lied Ajay without blinking an eye.
"Do you still have many of them near you?" asked Jonathan expectantly.
"Well, I do have them but not here, at home" said Ajay.
Eyes lit up "can I see them?" asked Jonathan.
"May be not now, we have to go to Hamunaptra right? Did you forget?" said Ajay.
"Where is that vulgar man?" asked Sofia
Ajay seeing her smiled and said "Well, he is in his room. Do you like him?"
"Bah—Who likes him. I do not like him at all, he is vulgar and a bastard, not handsome and a scoundrel, if I see him again I will kill him, asshole, pervert, ----------------" Sofia stopped in the middle of a sentence and saw Oconnell, who came out of his room mesmerised. Seeing this Ajay asked her teasingly.
"How is he? Does he look good now?"
Sofia didn't answer she is just looking at Oconnell
Then "What are you all taking about?" asked Oconnell
"Well, nothing much. It's just yours and Sofia's marriage" said Ajay Teasingly
"What!!!?" both Sofia and Oconnell exclaimed, loudest being Oconnell.
"Hahaha, it is a just a joke now let's go by boat for our journey" said Ajay laughing.
Saying that he caught Jonathan and dragged him away from there followed by Evelyn, leaving both Oconnell and Sofia looking at each other bewildered and then both followed Ajay.
Eve and Sofia both sharing a room, where Eve went to wash her face leaving Sofia in the room. And Sofia in her room now thinking about the morning incident when it became night, after thinking about it very much she became angry and jumped on to the bed to sleep.
