Tricking Star Hackers

At this moment, an elven maid stood in the middle of an open area with a small box in her hand. Her face was pale with fright, as she had already guessed what this was all about. 

Still, she was just a servant of a dark city with an extraordinary bloodline, so she had to obey the orders of dark nobles no matter what. No one would seek justice for her unless someone other than a dark noble harassed her. 

Closing her eyes and prying in her heart, she quickly pressed the tiny button on the box, and it sprang open. Her heart almost stopped when she heard the 'click,' but nothing happened even after a few seconds, and she dropped to her bottom with relief. 

When she opened her eyes, she was shocked because a towering figure had appeared right beside her, and the box in her hand was now in his. 

Jacob's expression was solemn as he quickly stowed away the box and tossed a unique rank magic gem to the elf, "You did well."
