Chapter 1000

The impact of that face on the two men was like a storm surge, shaking the very foundations of their reality, indescribable in its intensity!

Hans merely stared back, his expression as calm and undisturbed as a still pond.

"Elvis, get a grip, man! Look closer!"

Thaddeus, too, was shocked to his core!

But he had never actually met the living Jack Hamilton; he had only seen the handsome pilot in the Hamilton family's portraits. So, he quickly steadied his emotions, his jaw clenched tight:

"Wasn't Jack declared dead after that plane crash? After all these years without even finding his body, how could he possibly still be alive?!
