As for the man known as Mr. Smile, Adrian didn't even spare him a second glance. In his eyes, those technological gadgets were nothing more than children's toys.
"Just as I expected. My creations are still far from perfect. I must accelerate the progress."

[Project: Bulwark]
[Project: Hound]
[Project: Titan]

A faint smile crept across his face again.
