When he saw the death row inmate emerging from the corner,
Luo Di's first reaction was not to focus on the person but to glance, surprised, at his teammate, to glance at Maximus.
The first time he met this "father" at the Invisible Manor, he felt an inescapable nature of misfortune, where any approach would invite bad luck.
Even Maximus himself couldn't control this misfortune, struggling with even the most basic act of walking.
But now, things were different.
Maximus had shrugged off the aging brought by misfortune, full of vigor.
It was as if he stood at the center of [fortune], able to manipulate the misfortune to engulf others while absorbing all the fortune around them.
Every coincidence seemed to birth with his thought.
The unfolding of events seemed exaggerated,
as if two lower-ranked death row inmates truly appeared, where every "coincidence" in Maximus's hands could materialize into inevitability.
