The hall was dimly lit, a faint glow seeping through the tall windows. The curtains swayed gently with the breeze, casting ghostly shadows across the polished marble floor. The silence in the hall was broken only by the soft echo of footsteps.
Sun Moon entered the room, his presence immediately commanding attention. A confident smile played on his lips, and a subtle sparkle danced in his eyes. Every step he took radiated authority and charm.
He stopped right in front of Eren, bowing slightly as if to show respect—but there was a subtle edge to his gesture.
"My name is Sun Moon, Eren. It's nice to meet you," he said smoothly, his voice calm but laced with a mysterious power. "But there's one thing I don't understand… why are you standing with those losers?" His gaze shifted disdainfully toward the A-grade section. "Leave them. Come with us—to the B-grade section."
Eren's eyes widened in shock. He took a half-step back, trying to process the sudden confrontation.
Before Eren could respond, Sun Moon's tone shifted ever so slightly, softer now, almost teasing.
"But… tell me, Eren… how are you so beautiful?"
The words hung in the air like a shadow, twisting the atmosphere. Levi, standing a short distance away, felt a surge of anger so intense that his blood seemed to boil. His eyes burned red with fury as he fixed Sun Moon with a deadly stare, his muscles tensing instinctively.
Sun Moon let out a low, amused laugh. "Ah… so you like me that much, Eren?"
Eren's face turned pale, sweat forming tiny beads along his forehead.
"N… No! I didn't mean that!" he stammered, panic lacing every syllable.
Levi's gaze snapped back to Eren, cold and sharp as ice. Eren forced a weak smile, trying to ease the tension, but it only seemed to make Levi's anger grow.
Sun Moon, unfazed, shrugged lightly. "It's fine, Eren. If you like me so much… why not join my section? B-grade. You'd be with me, after all."
Levi's composure broke completely. His voice erupted in a roar, shaking the hall.
"Shut up, you idiot!"
The confident smile on Sun Moon's face transformed into something more dangerous, a streak of anger flashing in his sharp eyes. He met Levi's glare without flinching.
"Okay then, Levi," he said calmly, yet each word carried venom. "I challenge you. From this moment, I will take Eren Yeager away from you."
Eren blinked rapidly, confusion clouding his expression. *All this… what is going on?*
Levi gritted his teeth and leaned closer, a dangerous smile curling on his lips.
"Try anything like that, Sun Moon… and that day will be your last in this world."
Sun Moon's smile deepened, venomous yet calm, radiating an eerie confidence.
"Then it's fine. I am ready to leave this world, Levi."
He leaned slightly toward Eren, whispering softly, almost tenderly.
"Look, Eren Yeager… now Levi and I will fight for you. Are you ready? Because from now on, your life is going to change… a lot."
Eren's mind reeled. *All this… what is happening here?*

### Meanwhile – Zack's Office
Inside the dimly lit office, Zack slammed a file closed on the polished desk, his brows furrowed.
"Miss Mia… then let's seal the deal. Did you like our proposal?" he asked, a tense edge in his voice.
Mona leaned forward slightly, her unease evident.
"Miss Mia… was the project proposal acceptable or not?"
Miss Mia's eyes were calm, thoughtful, as she considered them carefully. Finally, she spoke.
"How much capital are you planning to invest in my company?"
Zack and Mona exchanged glances. "Seventy percent… we will invest seventy percent in your company," they said softly in unison.
Miss Mia's fingers flew over her phone, typing rapidly.
*"They are offering seventy percent… are you okay with this?"*
A few moments passed, then an unknown number replied.
*"Tell them eighty percent. Only then will I agree to partner."*
Miss Mia looked up, her eyes sparkling mysteriously.
"Eighty percent it is," she said, signing the agreement with a sly smile.
At that moment, her phone rang, displaying a name that made both Mona and Zack stiffen: *Master*.
"Excuse me," Miss Mia said, rising gracefully. "It's an important call. I have to take it."
She answered, voice composed yet respectful.
"Hello, Master."
A deep, commanding voice responded.
"Is the work completed, Miss Mia?"
"Yes, Master. Everything has been done," she replied, her smile deepening, hiding secrets beneath her calm demeanor.

### Night – Mona and Zack's Room, Penthouse
The penthouse was silent except for the ticking of the clock. Zack's fists clenched as he paced back and forth.
"Look, Mona… I told you. This is all the Master's game!"
Mona's voice trembled with shock.
"Does that mean… Miss Mia is acting under the Master's orders?"
"Yes," Zack said sharply. "First, he sabotaged our company. Then he forced Miss Mia to become our partner. What does he want from us?"
Fear colored Mona's words.
"Zack… this Master… he must have a bigger plan. We need to know who he really is, what he looks like."
Zack nodded, thoughtful. He pulled out his phone and sent a message to the unknown number:
*"Keep an eye on Miss Mia and the Master. Find out what his next plan is."*

### Meanwhile – Levi's Room
Levi's phone buzzed, displaying a new message: *"The job is done, sir."*
Levi's lips curved into a quiet, dangerous smile.
"Good… now, start the next plan," he whispered, eyes glinting with determination.
Eren entered the room, surprise evident in his wide eyes, his chest heaving with heavy breaths.
"So… you knew?"
Levi's smirk deepened as he leaned casually against the doorframe, the tension between them almost tangible.
