The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection

He debated with himself for a brief moment. Ultimately, just before the doors closed, he shook his hand and secretly shot a needle at the man still inside.

In fact, he slowly took off his mask, revealing the smile on his face. If Felix had been there, he would have understood why Santhor had to wear that mask.
