After Michael defeated the guards, an alarm began to ring throughout the manor, indicating that backup was on the way. However, Michael remained calm and collected, not showing any signs of distress. He was still receiving badass points for his actions, and his total count had reached almost seven hundred thousand, even after he had settled his debt with the system.
The sound of the alarm ringing throughout the manor made Tertis jump, but Michael didn't even flinch. Despite the blaring noise, he remained calm and focused. Tertis mustered his courage and approached Michael with Aric's body in his arms.
"Why did you kill him?" Tertis asked, tears streaming down his face. He assumed Michael was responsible for Aric's death.
"I didn't," Michael replied simply, his expression unreadable. Tertis was blinded by sadness and grief, but he could detect no lies in Michael's voice.
