As he watched Duanmu Huai standing in front of him, the man felt fear stab him to the marrow. Bathed in the moonlight, Duanmu's face looked no less terrifying than a ferocious beast that was about to rip him apart.
Moreover, merely being under the man's gaze led him to feel as if his courage, will and even the beliefs he'd been ready to die for all his life, are crumbling impossibly fast. He felt like a patch of desert sand getting whipped by fierce wind, or a pile of snow melting under sunlight. Suddenly, everything he had held close to his heart disappeared into oblivion.
In that moment, the man stared at Duanmu Huai, his eyes wide with incredulity.
"It's, it's you!"
"Oh?"
Upon hearing the man's words, Duanmu Huai raised an eyebrow.
"You know me?"
"Of course …... you've ruined the plan at the cottage twice... I can't believe you even know about a top-secret operation like this!"
