Upon their arrival in the Sahara Desert, the expedition team picks up Momoko, a Japanese woman who is searching for the meaning of death. After evading an army of black cars chasing him across town, Jackie is asked by Elsa to let her join him and Ada on their expedition, as she is in search of von Ketterling, who was her grandfather. The next day, he goes to a renowned locksmith and learns that the key is intricately designed for use with a special code. One night, while snooping around the home of one of the base's caretakers, Jackie meets a young German woman named Elsa, after saving her from a couple of Arab men-Amon and Tasza-who are also searching for the gold. Upon discovery of the gold, Jackie is promised one percent of the treasure, or roughly 2.5 tons of gold.

Aside from acquiring the key to the base, he is partnered with Ada, an expert in African geography. By request from the United Nations, Scapio gives Jackie an unofficial mission to locate the base and recover the gold. The 18 soldiers involved in the operation disappeared under mysterious circumstances. "Asian Hawk", is summoned by Duke Scapio at his mansion in Madrid, Spain, where he is told of a story of a German commander named Hans von Ketterling and his regiment burying 240 tons of gold at a secret base deep in the Sahara Desert in Africa before the end of World War II.
