"Blankkk!!"Simon gasped in horror.
"Shape shifting magic….No it's not that."
"It's the human skin of Steven."
"Did you really think I was an idiot who wouldn't take precautions?" Ethan asked quietly.
Simon's eyes narrowed sharply.
Shock rippled through him, but his expression remained cold and controlled.
"If you think you are safe because of the Duke and Duchess," Simon said slowly, "then you are overconfident."
"Two Master ranks won't be enough."
Ethan smiled faintly, his eyes dark.
"Who said I relied only on them?"
The room fell silent.
For the first time since his defeat, Simon felt something unfamiliar.
Not the feeling of being afraid.
But the realization that the hunt had already begun, and this time, he might be the prey.
However he decided to maintain his composure.
No,he might be testing me.
Who knew if this was an act and he might be panicking inwardly.He can't see people's trouble so certainly he won't be calm when he learnt of his family demise.
