Chapter 67 The Unveiling of Power

Outwardly, he was a thriving café owner, yet in truth, he was an isolated figure, immersing himself in arcane research and concealing his talents from the world.

 Solitude suited him; he found far more comfort in the quiet of study than in the chaos of external life.

Caution? Reluctance to act without certainty? None of it remained true. Now, he embraced impulsive, dangerous ventures.

'How did I ever suppress all of this?' he wondered. 

Had the door to his true self finally opened, unleashing all that he had once kept buried?

Contemplating this, Gin approached Marcus, who greeted him with a mixture of caution and resignation.
