I was shoved to my knees.

Akihito and Raijin and Makoto were around me, I had blood dripping from my left nostril and my temple was slit. I tried to advance and grab Keon but was quickly stopped by the three of them.

"Your clearly outnumbered." Makoto told me, "Please just surrender."

I outreached my hands and aimed them to Keir. If I couldn't fight I would use my quirk.

Hands wrapped themselves around my hands and pressed them against my own neck. Raijin leaned in and I shivered when I felt his hot breath on my cheekbone, "I wouldn't want to do that."

I growled in frustration. I was outnumbered, I couldn't use my quirk, and if I didn't start talking soon Keon would die. I tried to think of another way to get out of this, scanning my surroundings. The walls were bare, the floors were polished and clean so I couldn't use something like glass to break free, and the only blade I saw in the room was the one that Kazuya Tanaka was holding against Keon's throat.

"Give up. There's nothing to help you escape." Keir voiced from her seat, "Either you refuse and Keon dies or you agree and both of you walk free."

I doubted we would walk free. But I chose to keep my mouth shut. "What will you do if I agree?"

"We shall have a nice little talk." Keir shrugged.

I breathed heavily through my nostrils, there was no other way for me to get out of this situation. "Okay. I'll talk with you."

"You will work with us? Become one with the Abaddon?" Keir leaned in.

"I said talk. Not join." I stated.

Keon yelp when the sharp tip was jabbed into her throat, a drip of blood dripping down. Keir's eyes watched me as waiting for me to say something.

Fuck.

"Alright. I will work with you." I hissed.

"You swear? You swear on your life?" Keir pondered.

"I swear."

"Then you won't mind signing this paper?" She raised a brow, flicking her wrist and a rolled up piece of paper appeared into her hand. She flipped it open, "Ishii, bring this to her so she can sign it."

The young girl, Ishii?, grabbed the paper and a pen, walking up to me and smiling before setting it on the ground. My hands were released and I glared at an unbothered Keir while I grabbed the pen, quickly putting my name.

Keir gave a satisfied smiled. "Perfect. Kazuya, let her go."

He did and Keon coughed gently touching her throat where the blade pierced it, "Geez. You didn't have to push so hard Kazuya. I thought Keir only said brush it against me for show."

"Sorry. I wanted to make it more believable. Here, I have a bandage." He apologized.

My eyebrows furrowed, I watched the interaction between the two of them. Keon didn't seem scared anymore, instead complaining about her neck. I fell to the floor when the three men letting me go. Akihito kicked the floor grumbling to himself.

"Keon, what's going on?" I spoke.

Everyone froze and she stared at me, her expression unreadable, "Oh, you don't know."

She pulled down the collar of her dress showing some of her cheats area, but against her dark brown skin a large "A" was placed on the left side of it, "I am apart of the Abaddon. Keir told me she needed my help recruiting you."

Anger welled inside of me, I shot up, "So this was all just a show? You fucking tricked me!"

"Yes. That was the plan." Keir agreed, "And now I have exactly what I want."
