Tempted Trapped and Too Late to Run

Chapter 594

A figure slipped out from behind the hanging canvas, cloaked in darkness-just like that shadowy man from Palm Bay. Only his sharp, almost icy eyes were

visible.

Dylan didn't spare him a glance. Instead, he studied the dense rows of memorial tablets lining the ancestral hall.

The man came closer, stopping a few steps away before bowing and dropping to one knee.

Finally, Dylan's eyes moved from the tablets to the kneeling figure.

His lips parted twice before a soft, almost amused laugh escaped. "Show me your face."

The man hesitated, bowing his head even lower, pretending not to hear. Dylan leaned forward and tugged back the hood covering the man's head.

Dark hair, then a black mask beneath.

"Look up."

The man obeyed, lifting his head slowly, those fierce eyes still giving nothing away.

Dylan gently pulled the hood back into place. Just those eyes alone-so out of place.
