Ch. 153: Crumbling Down [2]

Adrian stood frozen in place, his mind a whirlwind of thoughts and emotions. 

The revelation that the black-robed figure responsible for his mother's death was none other than Nathaniel, his own brother, left him stunned and confused. 

The moonlight cast an eerie glow on the scene, illuminating the sword in Nathaniel's hand, intensifying the gravity of the situation. 

With a mix of disbelief and desperation, Adrian mustered the strength to meet Nathaniel's gaze. 

His voice trembled as he asked. 

"Nate... what are you doing here?" 

Nathaniel's response was sharp, his voice laced with annoyance. 

"I should be the one asking you. What are you doing here?" 

Adrian's confusion deepened. 

He struggled to find the right words to explain himself. 

"I—" 

Nathaniel's impatience was palpable as he interrupted.

"Ian, I don't have time for this. Can you get me the hell out of here?"
