Sipping fine wine, two mysterious figures in the dark room dominated the darkness itself with their aura.

A low voice spoke, "Six years..."
"I've waited six years..." the end of his lips on one side tugged upwards as he smirked. "Hmmm..."
"It's funny don't you think so?"

The other company only squinted his eyes in return as if he was trying to look into his soul.

"That night..." he continued. "If only he didn't violate the 99 code..."

"No. I'm not sending you alone. It's too risky."

"I'm going and that's final."

Dominic's shoulders dropped as he finally gave up on persuading him not to go.

"Gray..." he called out.

"Mmh?" Gray turned to face him while fixing his gloves and getting his equipment's ready on the table.

"Just....take care."

Gray smiled.
He went to hug him and quickly left for his heist.

Dominic watched Gray walk out the door until his back completely disappeared.

Dominic put his glass down, thinking about the past was always too painful for him. He couldn't bear it.

Theodore could empathise him. He knew how it felt, to lose someone you loved.
"You don't have to worry. You will have your way with the Royals...."
"And..." he paused and added "Dragon."

'Dragon'
He wouldn't forget this name even in his dream. He was all too familiar with this person.
"How so?" Dominic asked.

Theodore checked his wrist to see if it was time.
"She'll be here soon. She holds the key."

Dominic leaned forward finding it interesting. He was keen to know what Belardus had in store for him.

"Like I mentioned earlier, Dominic. This woman...she knows what happened that day. She was there."

Dominic's eyes widened.

His heart racing faster by the second.

A knock came on the door.

"My Lord. Miss Mia has arrived. Shall we send her in?"

Theodore nodded subtly.

A few minutes later, Mia Vangouh found herself settled between two very dangerous men. She gulped her fears away and tried to look confident although she was frightened to the core.
She folded her shaking arms to hide her trembling hands.
"Who's this?" She questioned Theodore.
