Chapter 416 Chapter 416 Relief

He was on the verge of losing his mind, but in front of her father, he was maintaining his calm or the consequences would be severe.

"You hate him, you hold a grudge against him and to protect the honor of your family, you planned to kill him. Is this reason not enough for you to tell the truth?" Tiffany yelled at Wood for hiding his crime and gave a reason why he would try to kill him.

"We can keep doing this the whole time, but nothing is going to be changed because I did not try to kill Nexus. Tiffany, you better get your facts straight before putting a blame on me." Wood calmed down and gave Tiffany a dark stare.

Calvin fired and looked back at Tiffany. "Do you have proof against him?" Since Tiffany made such an accusation on Wood, there must be proof which made her angry.

"Sorry?" Tiffany got zoned out but pulled back by the sudden questioning from Calvin. n/)o.)v.(e.(l-)b-)I-(n

"You are sure about Wood being the culprit of Nexus's assassination? There must be a proof against him which frames that he tried to kill that man. If it is true, I will kick him out of my house." Calvin seemed pissed off by Tiffany's allegations against his son, so he dropped the fake smile from his face and wore the same dark face Wood had earlier.

Tiffany realized she didn't have any evidence to prove Wood guilty for his actions. She came up to confront Wood with her own hypothesis, where there could be other possibilities of the same.

Now she had nothing in her hand to show Clavin. She felt awkward about putting his son in that situation. Tiffany cursed herself internally for reacting wrongly at the wrong place.

His mind wandered who could want to kill him. So far, he did not make a lethal enemy or had a feud with someone powerful as a warrior or sorcerer to hold a grudge against him.

Still, it made no sense about someone trying to kill him. Nexus thought deeply about any enemy he made and his mind went to Flinch. He was the only enemy who wanted to kill Nexus for taking sides with the Russell family and the assassination of his son. But flinch was dead, Nexus saw flinch being swallowed by an octopus monster.

Only if he would survive and appear magical somehow, he returned to take his revenge on him. Nexus sighed deeply, as none of his assumptions had made sense. Many possibilities, but he doesn't know how to act sane at the moment.

The case had got him on his toes. In fact, Nexus's defenses were too powerful for him to handle in front of a veritable master who could manipulate its magical like breathing. Apart from that, Nexus recalled his encounter with the enemy and realized that he cannot use Reaves's orb against the enemy.

That orb's power wouldn't penetrate the killer's red blood cell wall, but he didn't think of using his heavenly flame against it. It might be able to penetrate the wall and he could get to the enemy. If he had thought of using his power at that moment but now it was of no use.

Whoever this killer was, Nexus realized that finding the killer in the town would waste a lot of his time. Thinking about him would bring mental chaos, so Nexus decided to find a way to protect himself. He had to leave his house and go to the town but he could not live in constant fear of getting killed by an unknown enemy.

To protect himself or people around him, he must prepare himself with a strategy to fight back the enemy and protect himself.

The white paper in Tom's hands crumpled. Creases formed at the edge of the document as he gripped it tightly.

"Impossible–" he whispered unbelievably; "Deceased?!"
