The masked man laughed. “A hundred and fifty grand? You’re just a woman whom we found drifting in the sea. You don’t have a hundred and fifty grand.”

Elspeth said loudly, “But I do. I am the president of Azure Corporation.”

The masked men froze. Even they had heard of Azure’s fame, and rumors said that their president was a young lady named Elspeth.

“That’s me. I’m Elspeth.”

The masked man paled. “Y-You’re Elspeth?”

“Yes. Now you know I can afford the ransom.” Elspeth looked at the masked man with fury in her eyes.

“Fine. I do. I lost.” The masked man tossed his weapon away in dejection. His men surrendered as well and came over to Elspeth.

Elspeth forgave the masked man on Elias’ behalf, though he would be locked in his room for three days and subjected to constant surveillance.

The crisis was solved, but Elspeth shrugged it off easily, and she yawned. “Here, sit with me, Elias.”
