White Storm

Grimsight stood at the edge of the barrier, with his crooked body and his hands behind his back. He took a few steps, getting closer and closer to the three.

A few steps into his walk, he stopped, turning his one eye toward Pearl.

Pearl froze, feeling dread of such a variety for the first time in his life. He had never felt this scared from just seeing a person before. This man showed no hostility and yet every fiber of his being told him to turn around and run.

"My word! An actual White Tiger, in the flesh," the man said softly, surprising both Alex and Pearl. Neither of them could tell how the man had realized that so quickly by just looking at him once.

"Who… who are you?" Teng Zhengmian asked. He could feel the fear too, but this was nowhere close to what he felt when he was around his master, so he was more used to it than others.
