Looking at the sight of the four dead men, Ivan did not feel any discomfort over killing a human for the first time. Instead, he felt a huge burden leave his chest, and his shoulders strangely felt lighter; it was as if he had thrown away a heavy load that had been pressing down on him; it was refreshing.

After that, he used his card and produced droplets of water which he used to wash himself and clean the bloodstains from his clothes before creating a gust of wind to dry himself.

After he was done cleaning himself, Ivan took out another card and turned it into a fire snake.

He ordered the fire snake to wreak destruction all over the place and to attack their corpses as well, making it look like a beast had killed them.

With this, Ivan could report to the tower after returning and the tower will send people to investigate. As long as there was no evidence that showed that it was a human who killed them, they would drop the matter and send other people to take the place of these scumbags.

Ivan finished his set up and returned to the outskirts to look for his friends but what he met wasn’t what he was expecting.

Ralph filled him in after he rejoined. According to Glen’s mother, a monster had attacked the outskirt a month ago and was causing destruction at the edge that was relatively far away from where Glen’s family lived.

The Nexulytes in charge of the outskirt had held off while the people ran in the opposite direction for safety. Reinforcement soon arrived, and everyone thought that the issue would be resolved quickly.

But the monster suddenly sent the person that was fighting it flying and crashing into many buildings, destroying them.

One of these buildings just happened to be Glen’s home. The house had collapsed, and a part of it had crushed his father right in front of his mother and little sister.

Ever since then, Glen’s mother had been barely trying to take care of Glen’s little sister as they had lost everything and didn’t even have a place to stay; they were still living in the ruins of their destroyed home.

Ivan looked at Glen who was trying to console his sister and mother. The boy had a small smile on his face, but Ivan could see something in his eyes, something that he was very familiar with.

Chapter Your:

Hate!

Ivan didn’t need Glen to confirm it himself; he could already tell that his friend now had so much hate for the dreamscape and its inhabitants, just like Ivan had for Nexulytes back then.

After a long while, they left the outskirt and returned to San Pluto.

Glen’s mother recovered a bit after listening to her son talk about how well he had been doing, a mother’s greatest joy was always her child’s happiness so listening to Glen cheered her up a bit; it obviously could not make him forget about her deceased husband so soon but it at least helped her smile a bit and realize that she needed to be strong for her son and daughter.

Arriving at San Pluto, they contacted Mr. Alonso, who gladly came to pick them up from the station and personally drove them to the western sector, which took almost the whole day; this made them realize how far the western sector was and why it needed a teleportation vault.

Mr Alonso drove them to their villas, the old driver was stunned by the sight of the three villas and could only exclaim how it was befitting of Nexulytes.

They also introduced him to their families and told them how the old driver had assisted them even though he didn’t know them back then.

“I’m really thankful to you for looking out for our boys; good people like you are rare,” Ralph’s father thanked Mr Alonso while standing behind his wife’s wheelchair.

” Haha, it’s nothing. They’re good boys and have helped my family as well” Mr Alonso laughed before telling them what happened last night.

The old man had personally visited their home after they separated; he came along with his son, who tried to take advantage of Elisa to apologize.

Not only did they apologize, but the old man extended Elisa’s contract, increased her monthly pay, and told her that she could even decide to refuse to have her projection on stage if she wanted!

Mr Alonso and his wife were not stupid; they immediately connected the dots and figured out that it was because of Ivan, so they planned to pay their gratitude next time.

They all chatted a bit before going to their villas; Mr Alonso was asked to stay since it was late; although San Pluto had Nexulytes guarding almost everywhere, crime was something inevitable in human society, so Mr Alonso took one of the many bedrooms at Ivan’s place.

The night went by swiftly with Ivan once again spending the entire night in the training room.

The morning quickly came, and Mr. Alonso returned home to his family after bidding everyone farewell.

Ivan had no plans for the day and remained in his villa, in the training room to be specific.

Glen spent time with his mother and sister, he bought his mother a communicator and showed her how to run it.

After which he directly sent her half of his entire balance and told her she could get whatever she wanted and it would be brought over, he went to the training room after.

As for Ralph, he contacted Miss Elora and explained his mother’s situation to her and asked if there was a treatment.

“Wait a moment, I’ll get back to you.” Miss Elora replied because she wasn’t too knowledgeable about medical conditions and had to ask others; she replied a few minutes more.

The good news was that there was a cure for it but the ingredients for making the cure were highly classified items found in the dreamscape and not just anyone knew about them much less get their hands on them, their prices were also astronomic with the cheapest in selling for over 50 million bucks and the most expensive one had a price of over 500 million bucks.

As for the location of the ingredients, Miss Elora said that she wasn’t qualified to know about it yet and would have to ask her father or grandfather.

Ralph thanked her before disconnecting the call and turning to his parents.

“I promise I’ll find a cure for Mom,” He said seriously.

His parents told him not to stress over the issue and to focus more on improving himself; they would be happy as long as he was safe and had a good life.

After all, his mother was a Nexulyte and knew just how scary the dreamscape was; she couldn’t help worrying about her only child going there.

Being a Nexulyte can be both a blessing and a misfortune.

After the discussion with his parents, Ralph went to the training room as well while his parents packed some food that was prepared by the hired chefs to go visit Glen’s mom and little sister and spend some time with her.

Over the following days, Mr Alonso and his family had interacted more with the families of Glen and Ralph; they had gotten friendlier and friendlier and frequently came to visit them.

Days flew by quickly and it was the new year!

Everyone gathered at Ivan’s villa, they had all agreed to this without informing Ivan.

The boy has no family, so they used this opportunity to show him that he wasn’t alone and that he could consider them as family; Ivan was touched.

Miss Elora also stopped by to wish them a happy new year and also introduced herself to the couple. She saw Glen’s sister and suggested that she be sent to a school at the start of the upcoming term; the kid was smart, and she would definitely shine more after receiving guidance from respectable teachers.

The meal of the New Year evening was exceptionally memorable, and everyone had fun; everyone returned home by midnight, though.

What Ivan found strange was that the screen of his communicator was open when he picked it from where he left it, this had puzzled him; he could not guess who might have touched it.

He dropped the matter after searching and seeing that nothing was wrong with his communicator, he returned to the training room after.

This was the last day of their time off, and they would need to return to the tower tomorrow; he had forgotten to visit Camellia and the others.

“I’ll do that next time when I’m free,” Ivan whispered as he made his way to the training room.

Looking at his AP, which was still at 43.75%, Ivan decided to try increasing it tonight instead of doing weapon training like he had been doing the whole week.

He sat with his legs folded together as he began to sense the Nexus energy in the air, it wasn’t too bad compared to the tower; Ivan immediately began to absorb it.

Many hours later.

Ivan soon lost track of time.
