Pablo could not help but grip the skull in his hands. It crushed to pieces under the impact.

“You don’t want to make this a big deal, is that right! Killing my entire family, setting my house on fire! All one hundred and sixty nine bodies in the Belmont household, burned to nothing!”

“You’ve made a big enough deal yourself, and now you don’t want me to make a big deal out of this?”

Master Phillips’ chest pounded with fear, all his thoughts flooding his mind at once. He was thoroughly disturbed, unsure what Pablo really was— a human? A ghost? If he were human, whose dead body had that? If he were a ghost, how was he able to touch Uriah and even crush his skull?

Master Phillips racked his brains, trying to think of a way to hold Pablo down. What could he do so Pablo could leave?

He was also thinking of ways to destroy Pablo, so he could never come back…

His fear and anger took over him slowly. It had been ten years, and Master Phillips had never spent a single night sleeping in peace. Now that he had finally seen Pablo’s spirit… he was viewing him as a bad pupil, torturing them for so long instead of just going to be reborn.

Pablo seemed to know what Master Phillips was thinking.

He smiled, staring at Master Phillips. “Why did you take me in as your pupil in the first place?”

He was not supposed to have a master at all…

“You said that it was a shame. A shame that my talent was hidden in my poor town.”

Pablo was no fool. He could tell that both his master and friend had been sincere to him at the start.

But why did they change after that, and when?

He had treated them earnestly, trusting them with all of his heart.
