Half of the man’s face was visible when the mask cracked, and everyone else gasped. Although they had anticipated it, they were
still terrified by what they saw.
Lily instinctively put her hand over her stomach, worrying the sight would frighten her unborn twins. The man’s face was
indescribable.
They knew not to discriminate against anyone based on looks, but it was terrifying. Not only was the man’s face full of dense scars
—his mouth and nose were skewed in different directions.

His face alone was scary enough. Coupled with his vicious gaze and wicked mind, he looked like a devil who lived on earth and
never ceased to do evil. The fresh bloodstain on the corner of the man’s mouth made his face so eerie that it was hair-raising.

“I'll kill you, Mike!” The man screamed, then lunged headlong toward Mike.
Sensing danger, Lily shouted, “Watch out!”
However, Mike thought the tied-up man could not harm him. He was so angry and preoccupied with his mockery that he did not
