Chapter 465 Chapter 465

?"Madeline, the city and my family face threats that go beyond the walls of this castle. My actions, though difficult to comprehend now, are aimed at securing a future for everyone."

Madeline's frustration escalated, and her tone became more assertive. "There are better ways to address the issue, Reaves. Endangering a child is unacceptable. Whatever your reasons, they won't absolve you of betraying the trust we placed in you. You've jeopardized the entire city."

Reaves, despite being exposed, maintained an eerily calm and collected expression. His face revealed no hint of remorse or concern as if he were detached from the gravity of his actions. The mask that once concealed his identity was mostly incinerated by Nexus's potent Heavenly Flame, exposing a visage that betrayed no emotion, his gaze met Nexus's, a silent acknowledgment of the unfolding confrontation.

Nexus's eyes reflected a mix of determination and disbelief. The air in the room crackled with tension, the aftermath of their magical clash still lingering. Nexus, despite the shock of discovering Reaves's betrayal, didn't falter in his resolve, his gaze heavily lay on Reaves.

In the charged atmosphere of the room, Nexus's accusation cut through the tension like a blade. "You're a coward, Reaves," Nexus declared, his voice resonating with a mix of anger and disappointment. The accusation seemed to strike a nerve, eliciting a glint of defiance in Reaves's eyes.

"You orchestrated that explosion to draw us out, you wanted everyone to come out, to confirm Abby's presence, and pinpoint her location," he stated, each word delivered with conviction. The room fell into complete silence, the weight of truth settling heavily upon the revelation.

"Your plan was to abduct Abby, use her as leverage against Dracula, and force him into a confrontation."

The pieces of the puzzle fell into place as Nexus unraveled Reaves's plan, and Reaves intent became clearer. The explosion served as a diversion, a means to manipulate the family's response and, more critically, to identify Abby's room.

Reaves's intent became clearer – abduct Abby, use her as leverage to force Dracula into a confrontation, and settle a score that went beyond the anyone understanding. The complexity of Reaves's plan, shrouded in deceit and manipulation, showcased a level of cunning that caught everyone off guard.

However, Reaves hadn't accounted for Nexus's unexpected intervention. The disruption of his carefully laid out scheme revealed a flaw in his calculations.

Seemingly undeterred, Reaves met Nexus's accusations with a calm demeanor. Nexus, fueled by a sense of duty and justice, seized the moment to challenge Reaves's actions. "Do you even realize the gravity of what you've done? Abducting an innocent child for your personal vendetta?"

Reaves was still maintaining a facade of composure, responded, "This city needs a leader who acts decisively, not one who hesitates." His justification, however, fell on deaf ears as Nexus countered with a fervent determination. "There are lines that should never be crossed, Reaves. Abducting a child is beyond the pale, regardless of your grievances."

The confrontation reached a boiling point as Nexus, unwavering in his commitment to justice, called out Reaves's actions. "You've not only betrayed the trust of everyone in the city but jeopardized the safety of an innocent child. Your quest for vengeance has blinded you to the principles that govern us all."

Internally, Reaves couldn't help but applaud Nexus's logical deduction, recognizing the adversary's keen intellect. In a bitter twist, he entertained the notion of Nexus becoming his son-in-

law after the tumultuous events reached their conclusion. However, Reaves had no intention of allowing Nexus to stand in his way.

Nexus, incensed by the revelation of Reaves's true motives, unleashed a torrent of accusations. "You're a worse monster than Dracula! Abducting an innocent child just to get to him? How can you be so calm?" Nexus's words reverberated in the room, a searing condemnation of Reaves's calculated cruelty.

The accusation struck a chord with Reaves, the veneer of composure cracking as a flicker of frustration crossed his face. Nexus's words pierced through the fa?ade, exposing the moral abyss that Reaves had willingly plunged into. Abducting Abby, an innocent child, solely to manipulate her as a pawn in his vendetta against her grandfather painted Reaves as a darker force than the very monster he sought to eliminate.

Internally, Reaves grappled with conflicting emotions. He admired Nexus's intellect, but the disdain in Nexus's eyes fueled a burning frustration. Reaves's mind raced, contemplating the intricate web of motives that had led him to this point. He justified his actions as a means to an end, a necessary sacrifice for the greater good. Yet, deep down, a voice of doubt whispered in the recesses of his conscience.

Nexus, undeterred by Reaves's calm exterior, continued his assault of verbal condemnation. "You think this is the way to bring justice? To stoop to Dracula's level? Abducting a child is beyond redemption, Reaves."

Reaves, though internally conflicted, replied with an air of conviction, "You, Nexus, always see things in black and white. But sometimes, sacrifices must be made for the greater good. Dracula's reign of terror must end, and I will do whatever it takes to ensure that."

Nexus, resolute in his principles, fired back, "There's always another way, Reaves. Sacrificing innocence is a choice, not a necessity. You've become the very thing you despise."

Reaves, seemingly unfazed by Nexus's cutting remarks, calmly began to unravel the motivations behind his drastic actions. "Nexus, you may not understand, but everything I've done is for my family. I couldn't afford to wait for Dracula to strike first. I had to take preemptive action to protect those I care about."

In Reaves's perspective, the looming threat of Dracula posed an imminent danger to his family, and he believed that swift, decisive measures were the only way to counteract the impending peril. "The city is in constant insecurity. Dracula's influence is a pervasive shadow, and I couldn't stand idly by, waiting for him to reach my family. I had to act before it was too late."

With a composed demeanor, Reaves continued, "Abby is just one person. Sacrificing one to potentially save millions is a justifiable sacrifice. It's a pragmatic approach to safeguard the city and its people."

Nexus's blood boiled at the callousness of Reaves's justification, he retorted with vehement disdain, "Using a child as a pawn in your twisted game of justice? That's not heroism, Reaves. It's a deranged excuse for cruelty. There's always another way, and you've lost sight of it."

In a fit of rage and indignation, Nexus focused the potent Heavenly Flame, compressing its radiant power into a concentrated point of intense heat. The air in the room crackled with heightened energy as Nexus, fueled by fury, unleashed the condensed inferno upon Reaves. The surge of power propelled forward with blinding speed, a searing missile of celestial fire aimed directly at the defiant City Leader.

The explosion of flame engulfed Reaves in an instant, a corona of white-hot intensity that painted the room with flickering shadows. The searing heat and brilliance of the Heavenly Flame filled every corner, casting an ethereal glow that danced with the fury of Nexus's emotions. fre ewebno vel.com

Caught off-guard by the ferocity of Nexus's attack, Reaves instinctively raised a defensive barrier.
