The next day, Rafael appeared refreshed, though there were dark circles under his

eyes.

Carissa found it strange how he managed to look so lively despite obviously not having slept well. Aside from the dark circles, his face and eyes actually had a radiant quality.

After talking with Ryan the night before, Ryan was now less fearful and wary of Rafael. Occasionally, he would lift the curtain to sneak a look at Rafael's back.

Was Rafael like his grandfather, Hector? If so, he must be really impressive-he only fought enemies and never harmed ordinary people.

So there was no need to be afraid of him.
