Suspicion
Hao Xuan saw the grandmaster raise the hammer into the air at a snail's pace. Time suddenly slowed down to a crawl for him and it was at this moment that he finally notice a figure standing behind him.
Bewildered, he spun around but upon seeing the familiar face, he once again was shocked.
"Hyde?!"
The same Mr. Hyde that had locked himself away in Hao Xuan's mind palace was now standing right behind him, staring at the same scene as he was. He looked exactly the same as before with his top hat, walking stick, and monocle.
"How are yo-" Hao Xuan asked but didn't get to finish his sentence.
Mr. Hyde who was usually completely emotionless at least in front of Hao Xuan seemed quite dreary at this moment. His gaze was fixated on the grandmaster.
"What a sad existence he led. Spent his entire life serving another, someone that he will never meet in this life or the next. So much blood spilled, so many souls lost, for what?"
