The words were not forceful. In fact, they sounded almost casual.
But to Banxia, they struck like a thunderclap.
Clutching her chest, she stared at the clone in disbelief and asked:
"Who exactly are you?"
As she asked the question, Banxia already had an inkling of the answer.
He knew about the Great Medicine and how it could trigger becoming mara-struck. He had to be a follower of the Disciples of Sanctus Medicus too!
She just did not know how high his rank was.
Banxia was only a bottom-ranking follower and knew little about the organization's structure. Usually, the highest-ranking members she met were the Disciples of Sanctus Medicus above her.
