"Who… who are you?!"
His eyes widened as he stared at the unfamiliar expression.
He could somehow tell that… this wasn't his subordinate at all!
After all, the young man had served him for years.
He knew his abilities well enough to understand that there was no way he could possess the strength to pin him down so effortlessly.
Even if he had been hiding some of his abilities, the difference between them was simply too great.
But that wasn't the strangest part.
The aura was exactly the same.
The spiritual fluctuations, the appearance, even the faint traces of his subordinate's presence were indistinguishable from the real thing.
There was no obvious disguise, no strange spiritual energy, and no trace of a technique that could explain what he was seeing.
It was almost as if the person standing before him really was his subordinate.
The young man tilted his head, looking down at him with an almost sympathetic expression.
