Chapter 324 Chapter 324 – Wish

?'You fucked me, Wyntor!'

'You fucked my life!'

'And why?'

'You wanted to teach me a lesson, right?'

'You wanted to show me that my actions have consequences, right?'

'Great, but I already realized that when I saw how Horua reacted to the Dreamer.'

Nick just kept looking at the red wall with narrowed eyes.

'And then, you made it impossible for me to ever make things right!'

'You even made me believe that I maybe shouldn't have shaken Horua's body after the Dreamer tried to help him!'

'I thought that I might have gotten too worked up and somehow interrupted the Dreamer in helping him!'

'When, all this time, he was supposed to die!'

'You told the Dreamer to kill him!'

Nick remembered the conversation he had with the Dreamer.

The Dreamer had confirmed that it had only killed people that it was told to kill.

In truth, Nick had actually noticed that the Dreamer's answer hadn't fully been accurate with what Nick had thought to be true.

However, Nick had just thought that the Dreamer might not have considered the little boy from years ago.

Or maybe the Dreamer had planned to save Horua, and it was Nick who ended up killing him?

Lastly, Nick also didn't want to believe that Wyntor would order the Dreamer to kill Horua.

But, of course, things always had to turn out in the worst way imaginable.

For several minutes, Nick just kept looking at the red wall as his mind focused on how he had felt for the last four years.

'What should I do?' Nick thought.

'How can I take revenge?'

'Wyntor fucked my life, and I want to take revenge.'

'But how?'

'I can't kill him since I would die as well.'

Nick just kept thinking.

This was probably the first time in a month when the incident with the Crimson Sea was actually not forgotten but put in the back of Nick's mind.

For a month, Nick's thoughts had only been in two states.

Either he completely forgot about the Crimson Sea, or the thought of it consumed Nick's entire mind.

But for the first time, Nick thought of the Crimson Sea but didn't put much importance or emphasis on it.

Right now, Nick's mind was not filled with guilt but with the desire for revenge. nove(l)bi(n.)com

Nick might not have considered Wyntor his friend, but he had still been the most significant person in his life.

And this person had betrayed him.

'You wanted me to be a killer!'

'Well, there you go!'

'I've killed thousands of people now!'

'And killing one more won't make a fucking difference!'

"Someone seems upset," someone from behind Nick said.

Nick recognized the voice, and while he was a bit happy to hear the voice of said person, he also didn't care.

"Can we talk some other time, Julian?" Nick said.

Behind Nick stood a man with blue hair.

"Nick, I have a question," Julian said.

Nick got a bit annoyed. "What?" he asked.

"If the Dregs were still there, would you still want to improve the lives of everyone?" he asked.

That sentence made the guilt inside Nick return again.

After some seconds, he sighed.

"Of course," he said.

Silence.

"Alright," Julian said. "A deal's a deal."

"We had a wager."

"If you still wanted to improve the lives of the people in the Dregs when you finally got the power to do so, you win."

"If not, I win."

"While the destruction of the Dregs should result in our wager becoming void, I don't want to take any chances."

"So, here you go. You win."

Nick furrowed his brows and turned to look at Julian.

That was when Nick's eyes widened.

Julian's face was nowhere to be seen.

Instead, Nick only saw countless mouths.

He knew what this meant.

"You're a Specter?" Nick asked in shock.

"Yes," the mouths answered, "but that's not important right now."

"What's important is that you won the wager."

"If you lost, I would consume you."

"But since you won, I won't consume you, and you also get a prize."

"One wish."

"You get one wish."

"So, tell me."

"What do you wish for?"
