The man stood in shadow, entirely unfazed by the commotion behind him. He even had the leisure to tease her. “Impressive, Junior. You can still pinpoint sounds in a situation like this.”
Suzy stared at his tall silhouette, her expression even darker than the dim room. “Who exactly are you?”
He chuckled. “Junior, what kind of question is that? I’m your senior, after all–who else could I be…”
Before Hawk could finish, Suzy moved swiftly. In a flash, she was at his side, her right hand gripping his left shoulder, ready to turn him around to finally see his face.
Hawk, moving just as quickly, caught her hand in his, murmuring, “If you wanted to see me, you only had to ask. After all, it’s not as if we’re strangers.”
He slowly turned to face her, and the moment Suzy saw that face–identical to Claude’s- her breath caught.
“Claude?”
Hawk’s eyes narrowed slightly. “Is the resemblance that strong?”
Suzy snapped back to attention, searching for any sign of a mask. She found nothing, no trace of a disguise. So, this was Hawk’s true face?
But then, why did he look exactly like Claude?
Reading her thoughts, Hawk smiled and offered an explanation. “Claude and I are twins, though he has no idea.”
“He… doesn’t know?” Suzy was stunned. Claude was unaware he had a twin?
Hawk nodded. “Correct, he doesn’t know. In fact, apart from our late mentor, no one in this world knew about my connection to Claude… until now.”

safety, my mentor never allowed me to show my true face to anyone else,” Hawk explained.
“Is that really the only reason?”
“Then why show me?”
Suddenly, Hawk leaned in close, his handsome face mere inches from hers. “Because, Junior, you’re one of us…
His warm breath brushed her skin, making her face heat up. She shoved him away, her expression turning icy. “We’re not that close.”
Hawk steadied himself and replied smoothly, “Give it time.”
Staring at a face identical to Claude’s, Suzy felt an indescribable sensation. They looked exactly the same, yet their personalities couldn’t be more different. Claude was composed and reserved, while Hawk was… devilish and unpredictable.
As she silently sized him up, Hawk brought the conversation back. “So, have you decided? Will you agree to my terms, or shall we send Grace and Diana to their graves together?”
“Don’t you think that’s despicable?” she snapped.
He raised an eyebrow. “Is that a compliment?”
Suzy was left speechless, thinking he was so shameless.
She’d encountered boldness before, but never at this level.
Suzy fought the urge to slap him. “What exactly do you want?”

Hawk shrugged, feigning innocence. “Why the look, Junior? As if I’m some sort of villain.”
She rolled her eyes. “Cut the nonsense!”
