"I..."
Geno's body trembled uncontrollably. His heart felt like it had turned to ice. His greatest masterpiece had actually been defeated with a single punch?! This... was too absurd. It was almost impossible to believe!
"I hope you can understand why I'm doing this. Otherwise..."
The White-clothed strongman let out a helpless sigh. At the same time, he clenched his fist. He hadn't said anything, and yet it seemed he'd said it all.
"I under—"

Asura Kabuto gently
