Two days after Ryuk was released from Elena's custody…
It was a cool night in Tudor County. Crickets chirped as darkness blanketed everything.
Strangely enough, The city that never sleeps was taking a nap. Most likely due to the after-effects of the rebels' attack.
Even after a whole month, the fear that was experienced was still fresh in their minds.
In any case, that was beside the point.
Max stood on the balcony outside his room in the Webber mansion. He wore a sleeping attire but it was clear he wasn't feeling sleepy in the slightest.
He stared blankly at the moonless sky, his breathing calm and his aura… steady.
He clenched and unclenched his fists repeatedly as he seemed to be in deep thought.
The last words that Ryuk spoke to him replayed in his head.
…
"If you can… help me avenge my Tatiana's death. She didn't deserve to die."
…
Max could still make out the pain in Ryuk's voice. It felt as though he were back in the forest, listening to his requests.
