Torin was slightly taken aback by Gabriel's words.
He did not show it much, but the small pause in his breathing gave it away. Anyone who could stand in this room, kill his way through the base, and still speak so calmly was not someone he could look down on.
He had already understood that much before Gabriel even reached this chamber.
Every assassin sent ahead had died. The backup unit had also failed. Barry had vanished. Even Johnny's aura had cut off not long ago, and Torin knew what that meant.
Johnny was dead.
That alone was enough to force caution into any sane man. Johnny was not the strongest in the base, but he was skilled and calm. For someone like that to die so quickly told Torin that the man before him was not some ordinary brute swinging heavy weapons around.
Torin's eyes stayed shut for a moment longer before a faint smirk touched his lips.
"You speak with confidence," he said. "Since you are going to die anyway, revealing a little should not matter much."
