After Ryan got his hands on the prop, he hadn't actually used it until he noticed a clear shift in the attitude of the guy next to him. That's when he started to relax a bit.
Thankfully, this thing seems to actually work.
But the man next to him, after uttering those words, had his facial muscles twitching uncontrollably, which was quite unsettling.
Ryan was taken aback. The guy next to him was about to turn into a monster, and naturally, his curiosity got the better of him, and he couldn't help but stare a bit longer.
"What the hell are you looking at, you jerk!"
By then, Ryan had already capped the vial of the potion, which might be why the man in black next to him dropped the respectful act and reverted to his earlier disdainful demeanor.
"Uh, nothing, nothing, carry on with your stuff."
Ryan was somewhat speechless. The potion worked quickly but also wore off just as fast. Clearly, just a whiff wasn't that effective.
