Stan's gaze sharpened. "What did you see?"
The commissioner took a slow breath before answering.
"Damien Bale appears to have awakened some sort of... ability."
Camilla, who had been sitting nearby, immediately shifted her attention toward Stan. She had been quietly listening to the conversation, but those words were enough to catch her interest.
'he comprehended dao?!' Stan, however, remained silent. His expression showed little emotion, although his eyes had become noticeably more focused.
The commissioner continued.
"I know how strange that sounds."
"Go on."
"According to the prison records, Damien was attacked by several inmates shortly after being placed in the general population."
Stan's eyes narrowed.
"Attacked?"
"Yes. Apparently, some of the inmates recognized him from the news and knew about his background. From what we can tell, they wanted to establish dominance over him. They beat him badly."
