Eugene and his subordinates inspected the boy who'd landed beside Alex. The burly man felt a sensation of suffocation rise up to his chest as his gaze landed atop the child, who adopted a serene expression as he stared at the puppet that Alex had been facing.
Truthfully, Eugene had expected Ad Astra to have regressed in strength due to his and Jeff's betrayal since they were core components in its power. However, unlike his prediction, Alex and the others had amassed an army lower in quantity yet exponentially higher in quality than the Frosty Snowflakes.
They could now stand on even ground with Roxie and Eve, a fact that terrified the burly man, prompting him to wonder if he should have remained in Ad Astra.
However, the euphoric sensation of authority was difficult to escape from. Unlike Ad Astra, he was one of the three commanders of the Frosty Snowflakes, alongside the puppet that currently indulged in a battle against Alex and Maxwell.
