Bab 1125: Michael meets Raphael

Michael stood there, stunned and surprised by the executioner's appearance. Unlike their initial encounter, where the angel had been clad in crimson red armor, this time he wore simple white robes adorned with golden lines. His black hair was neatly tied into a ponytail, and his face was clean-shaven. He exuded an air of a classic Chinese main character.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, John," the angel said with a gentle smile. Rurik gawked between Michael and the newcomer.

"Who's this lad?" Rurik asked Michael, his curiosity piqued as the angel turned his gaze toward him. Deep within the angel's eyes, Michael detected an intense, murderous look. It was the look of an ultimate predator, a born killer. In other words, it was the same look Michael saw in his own eyes every time he gazed into a mirror.

"I'm Raphael, John's best friend," the angel quickly introduced himself as Raphael and shook Rurik's hand.
