Chapter 701: Shadowheart's Conundrum

Connor Baines stood before the office of the administrator of Vita City-State, hesitating slightly before knocking on the door. He was told to come here by Akainu after he shared his story with them, told that he would meet someone special. 

He did so gingerly, then waited for a response. Soon, he heard neutral 'come in', then entered the office right away. 

The first thing he noticed was a set of red eyes that glowed with a white pulse, like a sonar. Then, he noticed the person possessing those eyes, one of the most handsome men he had ever seen in his life. 

The next second, Connor Baines froze and began foaming at the mouth, his mind crashing suddenly. At the same time, his eyes glazed over and his ears rang with a strange roar, as if he was listening to a waterfall lash the pool beneath. Surprisingly, Connor did not fall down, yet he continued to twitch as if someone had struck him with a taser.
