Chapter 896
The devil's grip tightened around him...
In that moment of being torn apart, he suddenly found himself engulfed in darkness, his body plummeting rapidly.
Below him was a bottomless abyss, a veritable inferno of the mortal realm!
At the bottom of the abyss, it seemed as though countless demons were fixating their gaze on him, their red eyes gleaming, their sinister laughter echoing as they brandished their claws in welcome, as if to say:
Welcome to hell, my friend!
At that moment, he was overwhelmed with sorrow and fear, yet he still struggled, resisted, fought back with all his might!
Because Elizabeth had once told him:
"In this life, no matter how you live, it's all the same life. A life under the sun is a life, and a life in the gutter is a life too. But if you want to live freely and comfortably, you must not be a villain. You have to be good.
Only good people can live with their hearts at ease and be truly free.
Villains live with constant fear, burdened for a lifetime, leading a life full of exhaustion. So, for your own happiness, don't choose to be a villain!" So, he didn't want to be a demon; he wanted to be a good, upright person!
He wanted to cry out for help, but no sound would escape his lips.
In his heart, he called out over and over again to those he cared about, longing for salvation.
He called out to his mother, his father, his brother and sister, he called out to Elizabeth!
But the result of his calls was:
He saw his mother being tortured to death by Gideon, and his father died with a heart full of resentment.
He witnessed the tragic deaths of his two brothers and sister, their eyes wide open in death.
He saw Elizabeth, arm in arm with Kendrick, appearing before him, telling him that Kendrick was a good man...
His parents and siblings were gone, unable to save him anymore.
Elizabeth had also fallen for the demon and could no longer save him.
He was utterly defeated...NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.
There's no greater sorrow than a dead heart; he stopped resisting, stopped struggling.
He closed his eyes, letting himself fall into the abyss, into the 'embrace' of the demons.
In that moment, he felt his mother's pain, understanding why she had stopped resisting; her heart was dead.
If the tragedy in the painting studio was a fatal blow,
Then everything that happened on the mountain was a double blow!
The pain in the studio was seen with the eyes.
The pain on the mountain was experienced firsthand!
Seeing with the eyes is naturally not as direct or as painful as experiencing it firsthand!
Everything was over, there was no more Quinlan, no more Aiden, only the demon Keith!
So, how could he not hate Kendrick?
He was filled with hatred!
Kendrick had killed his sister!
He made him experience firsthand his brothers' fear, his father's despair, and his mother's grief!
Kendrick also stole the only light that could have saved him (Elizabeth).
Kendrick hurt him in such a brutal way, yet didn't kill him directly, like a cat playing with a mouse.
He trampled on him from a position of power!
If Gideon destroyed his happiness, then Kendrick directly pushed him into the abyss, turning him into a complete demon!
So he hated, hated Kendrick, hated Gideon, hated the entire Bradford family!
If it weren't for the hatred sustaining him, he would have died long ago!
Over the years, in his quest for vengeance, he did many bad things, but among Gideon and the Bradford family, he hated Kendrick the most! First, because Gideon and the Bradford family were inconsequential. Though ruthless, they were fools, easily dealt with, posing no challenge. He let them live, not wishing their deaths to come too quickly. Like a cat with a mouse, he wanted to crush them completely for satisfaction! Second, because Kendrick was dead!
He had actually died, leaving no chance for him to be tormented by him!
To him, this was an immense regret!
With nowhere to vent his fury, he transferred his hatred to Tarquin!
