The young man's bones emitted a teeth-grating 'crack' as they exploded, his muscles swelling and knotting up like inflated balloons, instantly shredding his clothes into tatters!
His skin rapidly transformed into an ominous, rock-like ashen-gray hue. Sharp claws pierced through his fingertips, and his teeth became as jagged and ferocious as a saw's edge!
In just a few seconds, the frail young man vanished.
In his place stood a hulking, hunched monster, brimming with pure destructive desire—
Hyde!
That's right. The one appearing here now was none other than Tyler Galpin.
"ROAR—!!!"
The Hyde that Tyler had transformed into let out an ear-splitting roar, the sound waves nearly blasting the ceiling off.
Its eyes, now devoid of anything but primitive bestiality, locked firmly onto all the "prey" ahead—
The Shadowkhan Ninjas, Andrew, indeed, every living thing within its line of sight!
There was no strategy, no finesse, only the most primal, most frenzied release of power!
Like an out-of-control heavy truck, it charged headlong into the ninja horde. Where its claws swept, ninja soldiers turned into puffs of green smoke; where its massive palms slammed down, the hard floor cracked into fragments!
Andrew's exquisite techniques seemed pale and powerless before such absolute strength and madness. After just one exchange, he was sent flying again by the violent shockwave, smashing hard against the wall!
Hyde's very existence was a disaster in itself.
Meanwhile, the architect of all this chaos had long since pushed his "spoils" cart and vanished down the end of the corridor.
He hummed a tuneless ditty, his mood seemingly brightened by the impending chocolate milkshake.
As if the hellish scene behind him was nothing more than some unrelated, slightly noisy background music.
Holy Lord roared futilely, Valmont looked on with heartache at the wrecked office and the clearly out-of-control situation, while the real crisis—
The monster codenamed "Hyde," had only just begun its revelry.
"Looks like Underling Number One is having a blast."
Exiting the Dark Hand headquarters building, Victor glanced back at the top floor.
The massive floor-to-ceiling windows were already shattered. From time to time, Shadowkhan Ninjas were hurled out with tremendous force, tracing a parabola through the air before they could even land, 'poofing' into dissipating puffs of green smoke.
It was quite a spectacular sight, like a bizarre fireworks display.
Frankly, Victor never expected Detective Donovan to make that choice.
After Laurel Gates was arrested, her manipulation of Hyde and the fact that Tyler Galpin was Hyde were also exposed.
Despite Detective Donovan repeatedly claiming he had no knowledge of his son's crimes, it didn't change the fact that his son was a murderer.
Less than two hours after the news broke, he was promptly dismissed from the police force.
That afternoon, Detective Donovan sat in a dimly lit room, smoking an entire pack of cigarettes.
The ashtray was crammed with butts, mirroring his current state of chaotic despair.
In the end, he made an extremely bold decision.
That night, in the dead of silence.
Donovan found Victor.
Behind him lay Tyler, unconscious from a dose of sedatives he'd administered.
As soon as the door opened, Donovan 'thumped' to his knees before Victor, his forehead pressed hard against the cold floor, his voice hoarse and desperate:
"I beg you! Take him in!"
Victor, wearing pajamas, yawned sleepily. Seeing the unconscious Tyler on the floor and the kneeling Donovan, he raised an eyebrow:
