Kill the Sun

Earth, thousands of years after the apocalypse. Countless technologies and advances had been lost to time as the Specters, horrifying beings with terrifying powers, arrived and destroyed the world. Over the coming thousands of years, humanity had built itself up but always died again. Nobody remembers the past. Nobody remembers what humanity had once accomplished. Now, everyone is living in a world where the Specters reign supreme. ----- A boy with amnesia woke up in the middle of the Dregs, the worst part of Crimson Fungus City. The boy grows up and manages to become strong enough to pass an exam for one of the most prestigious jobs in existence, a Zephyx Extractor, someone that can harvest the powers of Specters. Sadly, he had already gained a power from a Specter in the past, which made him ineligible for the position. But then, a mysterious man visits him. And his luck finally turns around.

Chapter 157 – Going Back

Nick left the Peddler's building with Kiara, Jonathan, and the girl following him.

Jonathan and Kiara hadn't noticed it, but their dynamic with Nick had already changed.

Earlier, they had followed Nick because he had essentially threatened them with their lives.

But now, they just naturally followed him.

Naturally, that was because of what they had just seen.

Stephen had harbored such a dark secret, and most likely, Ardum must have known about it or, even worse, actually supported it.

It was still very difficult for them to accept that the nice boss they had known for months actually had such a dark secret.

Kiara, especially, wanted to deny that Ardum knew about these things.

But the only way this would be possible was if all of this had been set up by Nick.

However, that was just too unrealistic.

It would have required so much work, and Nick would have even needed to fool a small girl into lying very convincingly.
