Kill the Sun

Earth, thousands of years after the apocalypse. 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. Zephyx Extractors have the power to travel kilometers in seconds, read minds, and destroy mountains. In this oppressive world, they are the only ones who can change their destiny. Sadly, the boy had already gained a power from a Specter in the past, which made him ineligible for the position. His dream was dead. Or was it?

Chapter 501 – Markus

"I'm sorry, but I'll have to decline," Aria answered.

 

Nick didn't seem surprised.

 

"Are you willing to share the reason?" Nick asked.

 

Aria frowned.

 

"You are going to make the most powerful people in the city your enemy, and since I have to work together with you, I will also become their enemy."

 

"I am not afraid of them, but if you die, I will be implicated. I can't protect you from such a constant threat," she explained.

 

Nick nodded. "That's about what I expected," he answered.

 

"What if we sign a contract that will free you from responsibility in the case of my death unless it is very apparent that you were the one that killed me?" Nick asked.

 

"Why?" Aria asked with furrowed brows.

 

"Why what?" Nick asked.

 

"Why would you offer me such a contract? With such a contract, it would be easy for me to secretly kill you and not be responsible."
