Bab 485: Rage

( Leo's POV )

For the next several hours after receiving the news about Ben Faulkner's death, all Leo could do was frantically search for the truth behind his master's demise, unwilling to believe that he could truly be gone.

He scoured every article on the global forums, meticulously read through every comment, and desperately sought someone who might refute the claim. However, to his deep dismay, no one did.

There appeared to be a unanimous consensus that Ben Faulkner was among those who had died within the Royal Palace that day—a piece of news that utterly devastated Leo.

For a long time, Leo stared blankly at the screen in front of him, the confirmation of his master's death burning into his mind and it was only when the reality began to settle in and the weight of it pressed down on him like a boulder, that his shock morphed into something darker, something far more dangerous.
