The moment the photo appeared on the screen, everyone, after their initial shock, turned in unison to look at Jace Lennox and Phoebe Faulkner. But the way they looked at Jace Lennox had changed—the earlier doubt and ridicule were gone, replaced by a shocked reverence, as if a god who held their fates in his hands had suddenly appeared before them.
"This is impossible..." Dawn O'Connell was still muttering to herself. "It's impossible. Phoebe Faulkner can't possibly know..."
But no matter how much Dawn O'Connell denied it, after the photo from Howard Lynch was displayed, no one present dared to question Jace Lennox's identity any longer. After all, Howard Lynch had specifically arranged for someone to find that photo; it couldn't possibly be a fake.
Phoebe Faulkner, too, stared at the man beside her with utter shock. 'This man, who approached me with unknown intentions... is he really the legendary Imperial Chief?'
'No, that's impossible!'
