Chapter 98: Unfounded
Two weeks had passed since the bloody incident at the club, and the nights in Evergreen had only grown more blood-soaked.
Each evening brought new horrors as the Reaper carved a path of carnage and death, leaving a trail of bodies in his wake. The streets buzzed with whispers of his name, and fear clung to the city like a thick fog.
The city's population was divided. Some cheered the Reaper for his ruthless assault on the underworld, viewing him as a dark savior cleansing the streets of crime. Others, however, denounced him as a demon, a force of pure evil that brought nothing but terror and bloodshed.
Conversations in cafes and bars were filled with arguments about the Reaper's true nature—was he a hero or a monster?
What no one could deny was that the Reaper had proven that no one was safe from his wrath. Criminals and politicians alike fell under his judgment, and there seemed to be no discernible pattern to his attacks—except one.
