"Welcome to the Awakened Association."
The elderly—yet tall and broad-shouldered—man seated behind the large desk spoke in a calm, composed voice.
"I am Cedric Grant, the director of this facility."
His posture remained perfectly straight as his sharp eyes observed the two guests seated before him.
One… an exceptionally handsome young man wearing black sunglasses despite being indoors.
The other... a woman whose face was completely concealed beneath an eerie pitch-black mask—as though darkness itself had draped over her face. If not for her feminine figure, it would have been difficult to tell she was a woman at all.
For a brief moment...
Cedric silently studied the pair before a faint smile appeared on his face.
"I must admit... you two certainly have quite a unique appearance."
His gaze lingered on the woman's faceless mask for a few seconds before shifting toward Lucian's sunglasses.
