Th-this...
Otto held the pistol and lightly tossed it into the air. The gun actually vanished, as if he were performing a magic trick.
Bronya, standing nearby, was nearly speechless. This man really had a twisted sense of humor. He had frightened her own mother, and even his mother-in-law was like this. Bronya did not dare imagine what Otto would do to his fathers-in-law.
