The Suit just holds itself together as the shot rings out, once the gun moves way, the smoke reveals the suit to be intact, unfazed by the gunshot, with Max just holding the area in pain still, it patched itself together by whatever dark magic it holds, the wearer unaware of the suit's true extent yet.

Leopold's vampiric nature is evident, but he retains an elegant, socially acceptable appearance. His skin is pale with a faint, ethereal glow, and his crimson eyes shine with a subtle intensity. His features are sharp, giving him a striking, almost inhuman allure. When he speaks or smiles, his elongated fangs are visible, though not overly pronounced.

Despite these predatory traits, his overall demeanor and appearance remain captivating and sophisticated, allowing him to blend into society with ease.
