Ruby said that the parasitic disease was more painful than death, so Geronimo helped her to relieve the pain. With a burst of inner force within his palm, Ruby’s head immediately turned into a ltunp of paste.
Compared to the daily suffering of the heart-scratching parasite of a hundred days, such instant death was a much happier ending.
“Ah!”
Seeing his own mother being killed by his father with a palm and slowly dropped to the ground, Bennett shockingly jumped up with a terrifying expression. “Dad, how… How could you do this? She’s your first wife no matter what. It has been so many years, how can you bear to kill her?”
“How can I bear it?”
Bennett’s words had completely angered Geronimo. He turned around with reddened eyes and stared at his eldest son. “Back then, how did you people bear to kill Yvonne and Brianna? How old was Brianna back then? She was only ten years old!”
“Also, have you forgotten? Who was the one that risked her life to save you when you were kidnapped by the bandits back then? It was your Aunt Yvonne! If she hadn’t stepped forward bravely, you would have been dead ages ago.”
“When your mother’s identity was unclear and she was besieged by the Red Guards, who gave her cover? Your mother ran away while your Aunt Yvonne almost got beaten to death, do you still remember?”
“You people don’t remember! Who are the heartless ones? How could I, Geronimo Melvis, marry such a wife and give birth to a son like you?”
After yelling all these, Geronimo looked at Bennett with an uncertain expression.
Bennett kneeled on the ground with a thud out of fear. “Dad, I know I’ve done wrong. Back then, it was Mom who forced me to do it. I had no choice either!”
Geronimo expressionlessly said, “Then, what about now? Forty years later, who’s the one that wanted to snatch Brianna’s company? Who’s the one that wanted to kill my grandson? Could it be that you’re still forced by your mother even until now?”
“I…”
“Kill yourself!”
“Dad, I was wrong, I really was wrong! Sis, Sis Brianna, I beg of you. Please forgive me, please forgive me! I won’t do it again. I don’t want to die!”
Brittany looked at him without any reactions.
However, Alex spoke. “You don’t want to die, my grandmother didn’t want to die either and my mother didn’t want to die back then as well! Don’t cry at your age, how awful is it? Take a good look at the view of this world once more. Do remember to be a good person in your next life when you reincarnate later.”
“No, please, no…”
Bennett was terrified to the core. He really did not want to die at all. He jumped up ferociously and made a last dying struggle since he was an Earth expert as well.
He knew that the chances for him to escape from the experts like his own father and Alex was almost zero. However, if he could hold Brittany as a hostage, his chances of success would be much higher.
Hence, he immediately charged toward Brittany and tried to get her.
However, what he did not know was that Brittany was no ordinary person as well.
Just when Bennett was about to strangle Brittany on the neck, she suddenly attacked with her palm right on Bennett’s heart area fiercely. It was the specialty of Silver Frost-Icebound. It immediately took effect on his heart.
“What? How’s this possible?”
Bennett was in utter disbelief. He was unguarded as well. In addition to torture of the parasitic disease and the poisonous injection, his strength was greatly reduced. There was no way he could dodge it.
In a breath’s time, his heart has completely frozen into a chunk of ice.
Without the blood supply, Bennett gasped for air as his face instantly turned purple. He looked at Brittany shockingly yet terrifyingly. “H-how did you…”
Brittany kept her palm back and whispered, “I’ve forgiven you!”
Bennett widened his eyes but he could not die in peace.
***
Geronimo stood in front of Yvonne’s grave for a total of a day and a night.
In the end, it was Brittany who went to pull him back. After a night had passed, Geronimo looked as if he had gotten a few years older and his spirit was emaciated.
However, that was sadness.
