"The very first lesson a martial artist learns is consistency," the man scolded, effortlessly catching the falling combat knife in mid-air. "Have you been running every day? Training on schedule? Completing the assignments I left for you? It's a perfectly good blade, and you've gotten it completely filthy. What a tragic waste of a masterpiece."
As the fight progressed, Maeve was clearly losing ground. Unaware of the dynamics, Michael stepped forward to back her up, but Jasper quickly held him back.
Jasper pressed a finger to his lips, his voice a hushed whisper. "That's Mr. Griffin. Maeve's adoptive father."
The revelation didn't just shock Michael and the others.
When Andres heard the name, he froze completely. He exchanged a stunned look with Murray, whose face mirrored his utter disbelief.
What the hell was going on? His former master was Maeve's adoptive father, Griffin?
Wait—as a living legend in The Mystic Realm, Griffin was supposed to be over a hundred years old! Yet the fiercely handsome, terrifyingly powerful man standing in front of him looked barely a few years older than Andres himself. If this was truly Griffin, his anti-aging techniques defied human comprehension.
Simultaneously, a massive question burned in Andres's mind. If this man was Griffin, why had he sought him out years ago to become his master?
Across the room, Maeve, ruthlessly outmatched, realized she couldn't defeat Griffin. Knowing his interference would completely ruin her revenge, she abruptly changed tactics.
Abandoning the fight with her father, she lunged straight for Nancy. No matter what, she was going to rip Charlie's stolen heart out of that woman's chest.
But the moment Griffin stepped into the room, Maeve's plans were doomed. Despite knowing Nancy was a cold-blooded murderer, Griffin had stepped in to enforce her survival.
