Ethan couldn't believe what he was seeing.
He didn't know anything about the string of pearls under 'Grayson's wrist. He'd never seen it, never felt it, never once suspected that something else was the reason for this absurd situation.
But even without knowing the how of it, Ethan understood one thing.
Life was unfair.
It was so unfair that it almost made him laugh.
Ethan was sure that even if he couldn't wield that tail according to his will, it certainly bit 'Grayson'. He vaguely knew that it was a poisonous snake with highly toxic venom. That venom wasn't just toxic but also fast-acting, as he could feel his murky spiritual power in it.
Therefore, he thought that the tide was finally turning. He thought that he finally had a definite advantage.
Sure, Ethan saw 'Grayson's expression contorted for a second.
But it was just a second.
His expression quickly relaxed as nothing happened. He even adjusted his hold onto Neville, utterly unbothered by his surroundings.
