The Author's POV

Chapter 363

Chapter 363 - Everything coming together [2]

[One month ago, Douglas's residence.]

"No, I would like it if her presence still remains a secret."

"Oh? Why is that?" Douglas curiously asked.

Tap. Tap. Tap.

Leaning back on my chair, I tapped on the wooden armrest.

"Why?"

Briefly glancing at Angelica from the corner of my eyes, I calmly opened my mouth.

"Because we can use her presence to our advantage…"

"To our advantage?"

Both Douglas and Waylan frowned at my words.

Douglas's calm gaze directed itself back towards the defiant Angelica.

"How can she be of help?" He asked.

Plack—!

Tapping onto my bracelet and taking out a wooden mask from the dimensional space, I placed it on the table for everyone to see.

"What's this?" Waylan questioned. Douglas, who was beside him, leaned forward to get a better look at it.

I extended my hand towards the mask.

"Rather than me telling you, how about you guys have a look yourself."

Raising his eyes, Douglas didn't say much and grabbed the mask. The moment his hands touched its surface, Douglas's calm face trembled slightly.

"Interesting…" He muttered, his eyes rippling slightly.

It was clear that the mask had surprised him.

Waylan obviously did not miss this and took the mask from Douglas's hands.

"Holy shit."

Unlike Douglas, his words were a lot cruder, but it was also clear that he was as surprised as him when he saw the effects of the mask.

"…This is way better than the skin masks we use."

Putting the mask on his face, the moment it touched his face, his appearance slowly started to morph before changing to that of one of the guards I met back in the Monolith.

To be precise, it was the guard I had killed during my escape from the infirmary.

"This feels weird," Waylan muttered as he touched his face. Touching his nose and pinching it slightly, Waylan's hand traced his jaw.

"I don't feel like I'm wearing the mask at all, but I can tell that this is not my face. This is amazing…"

I could feel hints of jealousy in his voice as he spoke those words. To be honest, I couldn't really blame him.

I too would've been jealous if someone else showed me the mask. It was just that good.

"Anyway, what did you want to tell us by showing this mask?" Waylan said as he removed the mask from his face and placed it on the table.

"Since you've showed it to us, it must mean that you've got a plan." Douglas calmly added from the side, his eyes never leaving the mask on the table.
