Amelia blinked in shock as Ace's words sunk in. She couldn't believe what she was hearing. The crystal, the key to peace among the mafias, was stolen? And by the head of the organization, no less. Her mind raced with the implications of this revelation.

She thought carefully before speaking, trying to control her emotions. "Are you sure that that's the crystal?" she asked, hoping against hope that Ace was mistaken. But his answer confirmed her worst fears.

Amelia gasped, her hand flying to her mouth in disbelief. She stood up abruptly, her nerves getting the better of her as she paced back and forth. Ace followed her, concern etched on his face.

"Are you okay?" he asked, and Amelia nodded without looking at him. She didn't know how to react, didn't know what to do. She couldn't trust Ace enough to tell him the truth.

"Tell me more about it, the crystal and the war," she said, trying to keep her voice steady.
