"Oh, but it looks like you have," sneered Roxie, observing the demon lord's appearance.
Donning a black-red three-piece suit and imposing sunglasses, the man seemed better than ever. In fact, Roxie wondered if she'd witnessed an illusion back when Alex sliced his arms. Barzon's appearance was just too different.
