Chapter 444 Chapter 444 Thank you for your concern

Nexus turns, his expression attentive, as Mike imparts his counsel. "It's best to stay away from nighttime activities for a while. Let the police handle the investigation. Necromancers are creatures of the night, and the more you dig, the higher the chance the Necromancer may target you again. It's a dangerous game."

The gravity of Mike's words settles on Nexus like a heavy shroud. The mention of Necromancers, beings not only capable of manipulating corpses but summoning creatures from hell itself, sends a shiver down Nexus's spine. The reality of the threat becomes starkly apparent, and the cautionary tone in Mike's voice is not lost on him.

"Thank you for your concern, Mike," Nexus replies, his tone appreciative, but the resolute glint in his eyes remains. "But I can't afford to stay idle. Nora's still unconscious, and I need to find the killer before it's too late."

Mike's expression reveals a mix of understanding and concern. "I get it, Nexus. Just be careful. The darkness holds more than just secrets, and some things are better left undisturbed."

Nexus nods in acknowledgment, grateful for the advice yet unwavering in his determination. The shadows may conceal more than he can fathom, but the quest for answers propels him forward, undeterred by the ominous warnings that linger in the air.

The defining moment, however, cast a long shadow over their shared history. A tragedy had unfurled, and Reaves found himself standing at the precipice of an agonizing decision. Dracula's son and Reaves had been best friends, inseparable in their adventures. Yet, in a cruel twist of fate, Reaves had to make a choice that had forever alter the course of their intertwined destinies.

He recalled the pivotal moment, the crossroads where friendships fractured, and destinies diverged. "The lives I ended—Abby's parents. For the greater good, or so I convinced myself." The specter of morality hovered, casting shadows on the righteousness of his actions. "It has always and will always be a painful decision, one that severed ties and sowed the seeds of enmity."

The weight of that decision reverberated through Reaves's thoughts. He had been compelled to take the lives of his friend and his wife, Abby's parents, a choice that, while painful, was deemed necessary. The echoes of the consequences lingered in the haunting memory of that pivotal moment. Dracula both heartbroken and bereaved, had been left to care for his daughter, Abby, the lone survivor of a tragic tale.

Internally, Reaves grappled with the morality of his actions. The ethical quandary of having ended lives for the sake of an unforeseen greater good weighed heavily on his conscience. The bonds of friendship shattered, and Reaves faced the aftermath of a decision that had driven a wedge between him and Dracula.

"Abby," his mind whispered, a name laden with sorrow. The child left in the wake of my actions. He remembered how he used to carry the little girl and play with her, guilt gnawed at Reaves, and he questioned the righteousness of a sacrifice that left scars on innocent lives.

And then came the unspoken question, the one that lingered like an unyielding specter. "Did I deserve forgiveness?" he asked himself.

"Dracula and Abby have every reason to hate me." Despite the gravity of his actions, Reaves acknowledged the truth, the bitter taste of remorse seeping into the recesses of his consciousness. Reaves acknowledged that Dracula had every reason to harbor resentment and seek retribution. The fact that the old wounds hadn't healed with time was a testament to the enduring pain that lingered beneath the surface. However, going after Tiffany, Reaves's own daughter, was a line that even the embittered past couldn't justify.

But it seems that Dracula had dared to cross a line he should have never dared to cross, targeting Tiffany, Reaves's own flesh and blood.This material is derived from n0velbin¶
