?"A couple," Nick said.

"Dark Dream is worth a lot of money," he said. "Everybody knows that Wyntor is the reason why Dark Dream was created and how it became so big in the first place."

"With Wyntor gone, Dark Dream is just a juicy piece of meat." New novel chapters are published on

The guard looked at Nick suspiciously.

He wasn't sure what it was exactly, but he felt suspicious of Nick.

"Can you elaborate?" the guard asked.

"Well, Dark Dream only managed to gain footing in the city thanks to Wyntor. Without Wyntor's background, Dark Dream would have been consumed by one of the other Manufacturers as soon as we got our first couple of Specters."

"Everybody knows that killing Wyntor means making Kugelblitz their enemy, and no one was willing to take that risk."

"Until now, apparently," Nick added.

The guard kept looking at Nick.

"What about more personal reasons?" he asked.

"Personal reasons?" Nick asked.

"Everything you said so far makes it seem like his identity as Dark Dream's CEO is the only reason why someone would want to kill him. But what if someone had a more personal reason?"

"Like revenge," the man said.

Nick furrowed his brows.

"Hard to tell," he said. "Wyntor and I have worked together for five years, but he always kept his personal life a secret from me."

Nick looked at the corpse for a while.

"Although, there is one person I can think of."

"Yes?" the guard asked.

"Ardum Melfion," Nick said.

This surprised the guard. "His brother?"

Nick nodded. "Well, Dark Dream filed a complaint to the city around three to four years ago. It was a complaint about Cycle, Ardum's Manufacturer business, not having the manpower to suppress their own Specters."

"And naturally, as the CEO of Dark Dream, Wyntor was the one that filed the complaint, and as a result, Dark Dream got all of Cycle's Specters, ruining Ardum's chances of becoming an official heir in the process."

The guard looked at Nick for a while.

He knew exactly what it meant when a Manufacturer complained to the city about another Manufacturer not having enough people to suppress their own Specters.

So, why should Nick care about him?

Over the past month, Nick had had a lot of time to think.

And he had come to a couple of decisions.

One of them was regarding Vernon and Kugelblitz.

In the past, Nick had been a bit on the fence regarding this issue.

Yes, Vernon was partially responsible for the pain of the Dregs, but what could he do?

He was just one of the shareholders.

After a lot of thinking, Nick came to a decision regarding that matter.

Vernon was complicit in the suffering of the Dregs.

And people who took advantage of people far weaker than them deserved no mercy.

'I wanted to save a thousand people to repay the debt I owe to Horua,' Nick thought.

'Now, I am responsible for the deaths of a thousand people.'

'I could kill myself, but that would just mean running away from my responsibility.'

'Instead, I will continue living.'

'And I will continue growing.'

Nick looked at the grieving Vernon.

'And when I am finally powerful enough, I will kill everyone that exploits weaker people.'

'I will kill Vernon.'

'I will kill the governor.'

'I will destroy Kugelblitz.'

'I will destroy Anatomy.'

'I will take control of this city, and I will make this city a good place to live in!'

'I've got enough of all of these powerful and rich people causing suffering for thousands of people just so that they can add another zero to their bank account!'

Meanwhile, Vernon sighed.

"Nick, I know it's a bad time right now, but we need to talk about some things."

Nick nodded.

"I understand."

"Sorry for your loss."
