After arriving at the City Lord's residence in White Sand City, Lex immediately retreated to his room.
For a long moment, he stood before the mirror stone, his fingers hovering near the edge of his mask.
His heart pounded with nervous anticipation.
He still did not know whether the restoration had truly worked.
Slowly, he removed the mask. His fingers trembled as they brushed across his cheek.
Smooth skin. Flawless skin. Exactly as it had been before.
Relief and joy surged through him.
It had really worked.
He quickly picked up the mirror stone.
The familiar reflection staring back at him was the same beautiful face he had once possessed.
Not a scar remained.
Only then did Lex finally relax. Now he could stand beside Nina without fear. Now he could face her with confidence.
He tested his voice next. The rich, clear tone that emerged was completely restored.
Excitement flooded his chest.
