Chapter 325 – Want and Need

At this moment, the shock Nick felt after realizing that Julian was a Specter outweighed the rage he felt for what Wyntor had done.

Nick had always looked forward to talking to Julian, and he had definitely enjoyed their talks.

And he was a Specter?

Nick immediately stopped considering Julian as a friend and narrowed his eyes.

"Why are you not just killing me?" he asked.

"I can't," Julian said. "I will lose quite a lot of Zephyx if I kill you. What worth is a bargain if you end up dying either way?"

"I just don't want to lose that much Zephyx."

"So, be careful about what you do."
