An enormous flow of killing intent burst upon him as Jin broke a cold sweat while he looked at the man in front of him.
The man who had a scar on his face glared into Jin's eyes. If it were to be told metaphorically, then his red eyes looked like it was on fire.
And then he uttered.
"Why?"
"Why do you have my ability??"
.....
Meanwhile, as the two parties collided with each other verbally. Someone behind them twitched.
The attacker, who was sprawled on the floor was slowly coming to his senses.
He was slowly coming back to his senses because a faint voice echoed inside his brain.
"Bauer, You awake yet?"
The voice spoke to him.
The attacker, Bauer, Instantly recognized the voice and went motionless as he replied so that the man in front of him didn't get cautioned of him regaining consciousness.
"Yes, Master"
He replied.
"Seems like he's too strong"
The voice found its way to Bauer.
"No, Jin isn't that strong. At least for now, He's manageable"
Bauer replied.
"I am not talking about Jin, Bauer. I'm talking about the Cloaked man before you"
The voice which talked to him chuckled.
"I apologize, Master. I should've known it earlier"
Bauer said.
"It's okay. But do you think you can handle him as well?"
The voice queried.
"I'm sorry to say this Master, But I don't think I can face him, not at least in this form... I might have to use my trump card you have bestowed me with"
Bauer replied, slowly shifting from the cracked alleyway floor.
"Oh? Do you really want to remove your limiter?"
The voice asked, somehow the question seemed to be a sly one.
"You know the consequences, Bauer."
The voice said.
"Yes I do know Master, But failing to do the mission you gave me is much worse of a shame for me"
Bauer said as he slowly pushed his hands against the floor. His eyes were blank and he had risen to his feet.
Just as Bauer rose to his feet, there was a brief pause from the other end to which he was talking.
But the silence in his head soon perished.
"Go on Bauer, As your Master, I have granted you the permission to remove your limiter"
The voice spoke and for the first time that day, the mysterious voice held a shadowy pressure within it.
"Thank you Master"
Bauer said, and this time, he was not whispering.
"Ah, before that Bauer"
The Voice shook off its tense pressure.
"Yes, master?"
Bauer replied.
"Do you, by any chance, know who the person before your eyes are?"
The voice queried.
"Does Master, by any chance, mean about the man who wounded me?"
Bauer replied to the voice with his polite query.
"Yes"
The mysterious voice replied.
"I do not know about him master, even though my heart says it remembers him"
Bauer said.
"Ah, Then for your information Bauer, The man, the one who wounded you..."
The voice paused as if it wanted to create a juncture of suspense.
"Is the same boy from 17 years ago"
The voice said and it seemed to stifle its chuckle.
Bauer's eyes widened at the words, but it was just the beginning as the voice inside his head, his Master, had something more to say.
"Kekek, The same boy from 17 years ago, who was rescued by The Copy Phantom..."
