When the mysterious man's composure fades, for that moment his ki surges, revealing his power to be several million times stronger than what you could sense. But his strength is still nowhere close to your own, which does put you a little more at ease. “You're him, aren't you? Karn, the Dragon.”
“That's me.” you say, and something tells you that despite the power gap, he's still incredibly dangerous. It would be best not to underestimate him. “Now the better question is, who're you?”
“My name is Illumi. Illumi Zoldyck.” the man says, you suddenly remembering seeing him inside Silva's ship last time you'd seen the assassin. If he's here, then where is his family? “And no, before you ask, my family are not here with me. I am here by myself, just checking up on an old friend.”
You turn from Illumi to Silver, who's face is an unreadable mask but hasn't turned his attention from the assassin clansman before you. And you notice Silver's boy, Jim, hiding in his metallic form as a part of the floor between the two men. Something still feels off here, very, very off.
But what do you do? What can you do?
