Empty Husk [Ko-fi Donation Bonus Chapter]

Sylas met Lucius' gaze.

Both men had quite a calm air to them. It didn't seem like the last time they had met one of them had been out for the death of another.

Maybe it made sense for Lucius to be so calm, but seeing the measured gaze of Sylas, Lucius himself couldn't help but be inwardly surprised.

No matter how level-headed the man, was it so easy to ignore the fact that an attempt had been made on your life?

Although Lucius had never acted directly, he knew that Sylas was more than smart enough to figure out what happened… especially since…

Lucius' gaze flickered up, but to his surprise once again… the beacon that should have been above Sylas' head was no longer there. His heart couldn't help but skip a beat and his gaze became even more somber, a dark cloud hanging over his eyes.

Somehow, Sylas had undone the curse that Bloom had put on him. No wonder they hadn't sensed him approaching the compound.
