NovelEnglishTwo bodies draped in white cloth lay in Christopher's mansion. A group of people in black knelt beside the bodies.
Elliot's gaze fell on the two bodies. "One must be Christopher, and the other must be the butler," thought Elliot.
Gary was sitting on the sofa that was located in corner of the room. He was smoking. Shrouded in smoke, Elliot could not see Gary's face.

Ruby bent down. She saw the bodies. Sobbing, she knelt beside Christopher." Christopher, | don't want you to die! What is going to happen to me and Dad?! Christopher, wake up!" Ruby did not fake her grief. Even if she was Elliot's wife, the twenty years she had had with Christopher and the relationship they had shared could not be faked. Even when Christopher's bullet had struck her, her first thought had been about how she could not allow it to sour the relationship between Christopher and Elliot.
Elliot walked over to Gary. Before he could say anything, Gary passed him an identity card.
"Have a look." Gary narrowed his eyes sharply and exhaled a puff of smoke.
When Elliot accepted the identity card, he immediately saw Hayden's photo. It was the identity card Hayden had used to enter Ylore. The information on it was fake, but the photo was real.
"Doesn't this kid look a lot like your son?" Gary noticed Elliot's lack of response and sneered. "I hear that your son is a math genius? The first in Central University's elite class?" "This has nothing to do with my son." Elliot lay down the identity card. "He is just a kid. Barely ten years old—" "Although he is barely ten, he sure can kill! " Gary took Christopher's phone out and pressed the power button.
The death timer was no longer there. What was on the screen was, [Game Over.] "Game over!" thought Elliot.
The game was over for Hayden, but for Gary, the game had only just begun! "I'm old, but I'm not that old as to be deemed useless!" Gary said wearily. Although he was not a man of intense emotion, he was extremely domineering." You came here with Ruby. Aren’t you afraid that I'll capture your son?" Elliot's heart constricted tightly! The thing that he had feared the most had come to pass.

"Let's play this according to the underworld's rules." Gary stumped his cigar out on the ashtray, exhaling the last puff of smoke. "Your son's life for my son's life. Your son will keep my son company in the afterlife. | don’t want Christopher to feel lonely." "No!" Elliot clenched his fists ?d$?PIS: said sternly, "Let my son go! I'll listen to any other request— no matter the cost!" "Hahaha!" Gary laughed maniacally. He suddenly yelled, "Kneel!"" Elliot took a silent breath and knelt before Gary. Everyone was watching him.
Gary kicked him! "Bloody hell! How dare you touch my son?! Do you think | won't kill you?" Gary's eyes were red. He picked up the ashtray and flung it at Elliot! Ruby immediately pounced on Elliot, shielding him from her father's attack.
"D-Dad! Elliot didn’t do it-" "What is the difference?! Him! His son! It's all the same!" Gary saw blood trickling down from the corner of Ruby's mouth. He clenched his fists tightly. He could not stop the tremors that ran through his body. "I shouldn't have allowed you to marry him! He is aggressively ambitious! He wants to swallow me whole! He killed your brother, and | might very well be next!" "No, he won't! Dad, | won't let him!" Ruby knelt in front of Gary and hugged his legs." Dad, let Elliot go! | promise that he did not think of killing Christopher!" Gary looked at Ruby's tear-stained face. His heart was torn to pieces.
"Gary, let my son go!" Elliot met Gary's eyes. "I'll pay for his mistakes!" "You owe me a son. Are you going to give me one?" Gary smiled. He looked like he had heard the world's funniest joke "He can go... provided you don't leave Ylore.
You'll have to stay here for the rest of your life! Stay as my b*tch!" "Okay." Elliot agreed to his request without thinking. "As long as you let Avery and my son leave-" "Hehehe! You can only save one." Gary walked over to him and bent down. He smiled menacingly, "Choose! Avery or Hayden?"
