Villain But... - #CHAPTER 5 – A Familiar Face

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCfkMay3X6l

Elyra slowly walked back to her apartment, still thinking about the mysterious man she had met twice.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBvXWWdUVA1

"Why does he keep appearing in front of me?" she whispered to herself.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpw9Hqw6zlR

"First, he saved me during the gunfire... then he appeared again tonight. I've never experienced anything like this before. Not in school, not in college... never."

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY2iQU2W9K0

She sighed and placed her camera carefully on the table.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGtdYce3p7K

"Whatever... I'm alive. That's enough."

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1DLJQ3mAIj

She changed into her night clothes, lay down on her bed, and within minutes, exhaustion pulled her into a deep sleep.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB60jBF8N3L

•••••

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQSk6Df9ndj

The next morning...

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGV8Mg1AKON

Warm sunlight entered through the curtains as birds chirped outside the window.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuPAKpe1gQS

Elyra slowly opened her eyes.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwgAXjw7a6S

She stretched lazily before sitting up on the bed.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh1Xq65ujUH

But the very next second...

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbC3fyKK6Nn

Her heart skipped a beat.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOEohPokPtk

Someone was standing inside her apartment.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHDAMqNLkh8

A girl.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQwSuhx5MA

She was facing the balcony with her back towards Elyra.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOOrvSHdNui

Elyra immediately grabbed the decorative vase lying beside her bed and pointed it at the stranger.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbVQTzTtvIH

"Hey!"

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQX24YrFi6u

"Who are you?"

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCXR2NRJruq

"Turn around!"

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNOMZqNlYo0

"I said turn around!"

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrcYMil55mJ

"Show me your face!"

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0UgBF2cYRA

"How did you get inside my apartment without my permission?"

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkIArzSKuig

"Answer me!"

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTkv2lbIeK9

The girl stayed silent for a few seconds.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY19hiDFueP

Then...

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmBuvSh2nUX

She slowly turned around.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1KQJk8b7ON

A gentle smile appeared on her face.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRSF63UEB1h

Elyra stared at her for a moment...

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgklyl7xLyA

Then her eyes widened.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡne3oJ21tRA

"N... Nancy?"

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwGxAOvzEgk

The vase slipped from her hands onto the bed.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVV9U42hKhS

"NANCY!!"

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfzoebxri3u

Both girls burst into laughter.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE5PZYtp1vI

Elyra ran towards her and hugged her tightly.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4a8D7vSe7y

"Oh my God! It's really you!"

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrFzwispxLG

"I haven't seen you for almost two years!"

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4RTxBjaBa6

"I missed you so much!"

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfU0xpyLszZ

Nancy hugged her back just as tightly.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡajD3ia7iSW

"I missed you too, idiot."

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡssXYJbB5uI

After a few moments, they stepped back, still smiling.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfPYtUTtNxm

"But... how are you here?" Elyra asked.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKOpdCQ5aE0

"How did you find my apartment?"

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBVpzofXCjl

"And how did you even know I was living here?"

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡniSMvjCyd3

Nancy smiled.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQj0Qmc0Cb

"Your brother called me."

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXdyLBrsoqR

Elyra looked surprised.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN5zkQk81Y6

"My brother?"

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGfnebkzQKq

Nancy nodded.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBBhsKZxLlj

"He told me everything."

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTjIFa4rAql

"He said you had moved here alone to start your photography career."

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9e3cjWnWqd

"Then he asked me if I could stay with you."

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeTjIpUgV0Q

"He said..."

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwwngvmq1Cp

'Nancy, Elyra is alone in a completely new city. I know she'll never say it, but she'll need someone she can trust. You're her best friend, and I trust you more than anyone. Please stay with her if you can.'

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGXF8QZGw0C

Nancy smiled warmly.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgObvpONxza

"So... I packed my things and came here."

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnM5txCcRGP

Elyra's eyes became slightly watery.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC0nxUtLlF3

"He's impossible..."

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQqAM0L8zy1

Nancy chuckled.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0PX2vX7hcr

"He just loves his little sister."

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡczUDiYzcC4

Elyra hugged her once again.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwscBVFn7E5

"Thank God..."

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfefWF6LdA9

"I was feeling so lonely here."

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiPEpxTE4By

"You have no idea how happy I am to see you."

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbAFAXt08CP

Nancy smiled.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7CKgG9VKvo

"And from today..."

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7csHFtBegP

"You're not alone anymore."

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjmfN7Pu0ay

Both best friends smiled at each other, unaware that their peaceful morning was only the beginning of a much bigger story...

CHAPTER 5

Part 2 – A Strange Coincidence

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzPxzT2Egyx

After talking for a while, both of them sat on the sofa with cups of coffee in their hands.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNhYIhJzsr4

Nancy looked at Elyra carefully.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDHOo11yRI8

"So... tell me."

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ub1W2Gnam

"What happened after you came here?"

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDIl1bSUepA

Elyra sighed.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcbColNk81M

"You won't believe me."

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxVPvnQbF2D

Nancy smirked.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdBRFf51RBF

"Try me."

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJnDCakOu3

Elyra smiled helplessly before beginning the whole story.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2w1YRY7G8z

"On my very first day here, there was suddenly a gunfight in the market."

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0JvnHLCLfB

Nancy's eyes widened.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUUV9XCxLgf

"What?"

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWsCbbjRCSR

Elyra nodded.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡprwMf2PPyF

"Everyone started running... I didn't even understand what was happening."

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZI8oQnahOR

"And then..."

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhp785Lj9sX

"A man suddenly grabbed my wrist and pulled me away before a bullet could reach me."

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQOvUYvwuo7

Nancy leaned forward.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNuhMspOeK8

"Who was he?"

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqkXticjyki

"I don't know."

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ziUxtQ1CI

"I couldn't even see his face properly."

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIMg63fwOHI

"He was wearing a long black coat."

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbcgy8RHioP

"He looked... dangerous."

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAVqCK6iYjT

"But somehow..."

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0A5oMFmFGd

"He saved my life."

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQLxNEQ2xzq

Nancy stayed silent.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBfotXU0SbU

Elyra continued.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw0tZDlx31h

"And then... the very same night..."

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtxiPAziHRx

"I met him again."

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu0Ik5boeYe

Nancy blinked.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlPd3BfPXrW

"Again?"

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Vr1HVHsc9

"Yes."

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlOb9DnHSom

"I had gone out to click some night photographs."

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcVn4e8Hb3M

"He suddenly appeared there too."

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq8HsL5ToCv

"He was so rude."

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJFxszC1p62

"He kept calling me stupid because I talk too much."

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEb6nAd2GNu

Nancy suddenly burst into laughter.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT7xQnZMv0j

"Hahahaha!"

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡszq9Wtxpk6

"So your mysterious hero is also arrogant?"

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP00lmrklKK

Elyra rolled her eyes.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJmhoIcZ4P

"He's impossible."

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrUYxMu289N

"He saves people..."

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQl2ycw3RmZ

"And then acts like the whole world annoys him."

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpBgFpLJQ9p

Nancy laughed even harder.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrXpJYFXcRl

"I think he secretly likes you."

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡND4DSaXmjA

Elyra almost choked on her coffee.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUtpbfnSqNe

"What?!"

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwS56bIlKSU

"Have you lost your mind?"

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBTg0Nx46IZ

Nancy shrugged dramatically.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTuPa89De7G

"Think about it."

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUHFItALahr

"He saved you."

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtrkqCpQkNZ

"He appeared again."

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡed23154q66

"And he keeps meeting you by coincidence."

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj0V7M3QXbd

"Sounds like the beginning of a romance."

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2PvfP8mWcS

Elyra immediately shook her head.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhcTqSx5Q2A

"No."

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAdWhHy4efb

"Absolutely not."

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOBnGVdlgTF

"He's the rudest man I've ever met."

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWAvSCwIUj4

"He even covered my mouth once."

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLBTiSMIVZc

Nancy raised an eyebrow.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8675Qe2ANY

"He WHAT?"

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQpx49f8Zes

Elyra sighed.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgWHuo1Dejn

"Long story."

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKKMj4VzOqU

"But trust me..."

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ52mEWtVYNO

"He's irritating."

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5gAHRh979s

Nancy folded her arms with a teasing smile.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcmh4uy2CTq

"The more you complain about him..."

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxu7fiHAMec

"The more interesting he sounds."

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMi7R96DEjE

Elyra threw a cushion at her.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLAEhpBgPnN

"Stop it!"

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfoME54aAt1

Nancy caught it and laughed.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMbkvbAb4Eo

"Okay, okay."

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWcNf9gaXwq

"I was just kidding."

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQFw84xcY0u

She stood up.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJuiPYQUYvb

"I'm going to take a shower."

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSDl51dCPDV

"You start getting ready too."

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRry3DvNtX7

"We'll make breakfast together."

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHh3UpYOOfl

Elyra nodded.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡesEkW0DPY0

"Deal."

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVfthrvfraW

About thirty minutes later...

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDhuw5czDzd

The apartment was filled with the smell of pancakes, toast, and coffee.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFrmoNCAdIs

Both girls cooked together while laughing and teasing each other, just like old times.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrshgjQgzqM

After breakfast, Nancy checked the time.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5MpBGGfsJ6

"Oh no!"

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQrdvuxJGy0

"I'm getting late for my first day at work."

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKYxkvRgc0E

Elyra smiled.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwC9Of27PaS

"And I have to explore the city today."

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhKOAvUo4LO

Nancy picked up her handbag.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMuy2zxpqon

"Listen."

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXXtuHdPbGE

"When my work finishes, call me."

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEbIwQalI4p

"We'll meet here."

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxHai04r0FL

"Then we'll go shopping together."

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaSeN1huzZ2

"We still need groceries and a lot of things for the apartment."

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYeJ9rmJ31Y

Elyra nodded.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7rpzkoB4RD

"Perfect plan."

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ANmZIEwRw

Nancy hugged her once.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6rBGggYPm6

"Take care."

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB4sAC9cS6J

"You too."

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiNgEsN4RoI

A few minutes later...

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLsVXXwZb8Y

Nancy left for herCHAPTER 5

Part 3 – An Unexpected Discovery

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4oZpV9g7OK

After spending the entire afternoon capturing beautiful photographs of flowers, butterflies, birds, forests, and the peaceful streets of the city, Elyra checked the time.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPa9oZxMEwN

"Oh..."

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡToQwXT0x8W

"It's already evening."

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJDEmKjV7R

Just then, her phone vibrated.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZnciqLmoda

Nancy Calling...

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQ4DWWtclU

Elyra answered immediately.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSrVQUD34kG

"Hello?"

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp6rvp7YEew

Nancy's excited voice came from the other side.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ06wa3JFUT4

"Elyra! Come to my office quickly! I want to show you something."

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF006RvAhvW

"What happened?"

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2V5hpFiEmO

"Just come! Fast!"

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo820CJ1pjp

"Okay... I'm on my way."

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVILTH29fAn

About thirty minutes later...

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9FUr6cyybF

Elyra reached Nancy's office.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDgqk2p9Cfm

Nancy was already waiting outside the building.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39CDkKajUr

The moment she saw Elyra, she grabbed her hand excitedly.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRht7Qi20Jt

"There you are!"

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡby4XX8z8Rx

"What happened?" Elyra asked.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5hj1MtJDAA

Nancy pointed towards the entrance of the company.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXI5tu7SLNy

"Look..."

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOjHAsGysuI

"My new boss is coming."

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7H2DYrKHJ

Elyra looked in that direction.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnXICQRoHOe

A tall, handsome man walked out of the building, surrounded by several employees.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPdzlmcsMOG

He wore a perfectly tailored black suit, and his cold expression made everyone around him look nervous.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkLlKbriE0D

Nancy whispered dramatically,

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjvfGafA6lO

"Isn't he unbelievably handsome?"

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnSW7bsvnOM

Elyra laughed.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8sahXMpvME

"You judged your boss on the first day?"

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaxWE1oY3to

Nancy shrugged.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswLFBL0Zs0

"What? I'm just appreciating good looks."

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvAkYFE1Rjh

Elyra giggled.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo4t7tSEACD

"You're impossible."

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuuDuzvmDXE

Nancy smiled proudly.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbWKI6ZWQUL

"But seriously..."

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQ5B4SGBds

"He's really strict."

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMMWKWuZlgy

"No one dares to joke around him."

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOdb8KkcEFn

Before Elyra could reply, the man entered a black luxury car and drove away.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8gii0IjI3i

Nancy sighed dramatically.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFbrOOA5Kn7

"There goes my handsome boss."

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeKIiJ5da9e

Elyra laughed again.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOCkIW2SZ8d

"Come on."

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIAUiXDdcgS

"We have shopping to do."

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRk2YDw4wQL

The two girls spent the next few hours buying groceries, kitchen supplies, decorations, and other things for their apartment.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdz8U7zdCvR

By the time they finished shopping...

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3icLlE5hIj

The sky had already turned dark.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTvb38k3Cl4

They decided to take a shortcut through a quiet street.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpYwHjVTjRQ

As they walked...

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfcEGFvQPhX

Nancy suddenly stopped.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWGdRfnXJ5o

"Wait..."

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUKKAityIYj

She pointed towards a nearby rooftop.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQAHEuJloIS

"There..."

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQSXEMrCpK3

Elyra slowly looked up.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGl3VQThW1N

A familiar figure stood on the rooftop.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVlA1bNCRhS

He was wearing the same long black coat.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpu11UvoVv0

Elyra's eyes widened.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr6xYlljmXp

"It's him..."

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpxRp3UxLa7

Nancy looked confused.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwYLWEvwN5N

"The mysterious man?"

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEErhgC0xL1

Elyra nodded slowly.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb0Pet8xoZH

"Yes..."

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoiA1nhyXfH

"The same one."

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVq9OVVnHuh

Both of them quietly stepped behind a nearby wall so they wouldn't be noticed.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJ1SPxNQgV

They watched from a distance.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvUYEEKk392

The man was talking to another person.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHwihngNUEa

Because of the distance, they couldn't hear every word clearly.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMLYLUljeeM

Only a few sentences reached them.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQgyEJb3hnd

"You have three days."

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6gtLqCRl4I

"I don't accept failure."

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVwDailknIs

The other man nodded nervously.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwb9KFR1vYU

"You can trust me."

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCtzQ20be7L

"It'll be done."

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡocgKNMpvai

The mysterious man gave a slight nod.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3EMpLXyyqS

Then both of them shook hands.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJyjb7VIZnJ

A few seconds later...

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMgfAdsDOwN

They entered a long black luxury car and drove away.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYmGVRZQgtV

Elyra kept staring until the car disappeared.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJPv4vmYznF

Nancy looked at her.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDN4RAvOAfw

"So..."

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGotrWx3VlL

"Your mysterious hero seems to know some very important people."

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxEEQd6Cc8k

Elyra folded her arms.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6v7n6AIN6p

"Hmph..."

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGXSApgPDlH

"He still looks rude."

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2tvvdg7ejz

Nancy laughed.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQVihY7yCbg

"You've only met him twice..."

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGIurxPlHne

"And you've already decided his personality."

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQ0baUTMnH

Elyra looked away.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMBzEYKjQRi

"Maybe..."

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEFx8l7S8Uz

"But something about him..."

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡteSHyp8JCs

"...feels very strange."

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIAbpcgJhV4

Without realizing it...

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlR6qknq5u4

The mysterious man had once again occupied her thoughts.

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZob0niANXj

And somewhere far away...

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡneQyOf6hDB

The black car disappeared into the darkness...

17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp41TtWeQ3x

Leaving behind nothing but question.17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwHu3TbYfsz
