Terrell was extremely nervous, even more so than when he met Lord Yong Xin the night before.
His hands wouldn't stop trembling, and the beads of sweat spilling from his forehead continually dripped down, mingling with the fresh blood that had welled up from his finger pricked by the clock hand earlier, making him look particularly wretched.
Terrell could no longer hear anything beyond the "thumping" of his own heartbeat, not even the wound on his finger that kept seeping blood felt any pain—fear was the only emotion he could genuinely experience.
And all of this, of course, was brought on by Gerard.
Terrell couldn't forget the scene he had just witnessed, where even Lord Yong Xin could only tune the "Desolate Time Clock" to "two," but it collapsed the moment it neared Gerard... What did that imply? Had Gerard found the power he failed to bring out from the Pollution Zone before? And the concentration of that power... it far exceeded Lord Yong Xin's!
