Everyone thought this tall, clean-cut young man was Grandpa Lance's grandson, only to discover he was Grandpa Lance himself, living his second life.
Before Grandpa Lance left the Bronze Guild, he often told them not to be fooled by his age, with his talent for mixing potions, he might just end up living a second life one day.
And surely, Grandpa Lance had managed to live a second life, now looking much younger than all of them.
They didn't dare to run away because Grandpa Lance really could flatten someone into a paper-thin person and ensure that you stay alive as a paper-thin person.
They had witnessed Grandpa Lance flatten several extraordinary beings who tried to rob him into paper-thin figures and stick them on trees.
They didn't want to be flattened into paper thinness, nor did they want to become a "life-like painting" in Grandpa Lance's house.
"Grandpa Lance, we were wrong, we really didn't know that the potion you gave..."
