Chapter 575: Chapter 571 - Iris

"You... who are you?! Where is my daughter?!" Ryley asked in a demanding tone, his palms clenched into fists as he intended to use his power on the figure before him.

"Don't waste your time doing something pointless." The figure replied in the same familiar voice, but this time a bit raspier.

How shocked Ryley was when the man revealed himself to be someone who looked just like him but slightly older.
