Chapter 819: Don’t Let Us Die in Vain
In another dungeon room, Hayden, emanating a bloody aura, burst through the prison door. The dungeon corridor outside was already filled with guards arranged here by Maximus.
“Hendrix, Violet…”
As Hayden rushed in, he saw his son and granddaughter locked up here, and immediately let out a cry filled with profound sadness and heartache. Both of them were bound by chains, with several major acupoints on their bodies forcibly pierced with restraining steel needles. They were already seriously injured during the previous upheaval in the family, and now their injuries worsened. It was only because of their formidable strength that they were still alive. An ordinary person would have long perished.
“Grandfather…”
“Grandfather!”
“Grandfather, you escaped?”
“Grandfather, run away quickly, don’t worry about us!”
Violet, who had been somewhat dazed and resigned to despair, suddenly snapped back to reality. Miss Willis, who was once considered noble and elegant, now had her delicate face covered in dirt and bloodstains. One would think she was a beggar. The steel nails piercing her major acupoints left horrifying bloodstains on her body.
When Violet saw Hayden, disheveled and exuding a terrifying aura, she was momentarily stunned. Then, she shouted in a frenzy mixed with joy and anxiety.
“Father!”
Hendrix also recognized his father and exclaimed with delight. Hearing Violet’s words, Hayden’s face showed a mix of relief and heartache.
He was relieved because his granddaughter still cared about her old grandfather even in her current state, urging him to escape without worrying about her.
However, he felt heartache because Hayden believed he, as a grandfather, had been useless and had even harmed his own granddaughter. He should have been in Maximus’s position.
“Violet, how can I not care about you?”
“Grandfather did it all for you!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Hayden swiftly moved, breaking the chains on Violet and Hendrix and removing the steel nails.
Hendrix and Violet immediately felt a surge of vitality as the nails sealing their acupoints were gone.
Although they were still far from their peak strength, they finally caught a glimpse of hope.NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.
However, at that moment, Hayden’s expression changed. He could sense powerful auras rapidly approaching the dungeon.
The Ancient Willis family, as it existed today, was no longer what it used to be. Maximus had likely already seized power and controlled everyone in the family.
Even if he, the former family head, were to stand up, how many would still obey his commands? Hayden didn’t dare to gamble. He couldn’t risk it for Violet.
“Hendrix! I’ll take Violet and break through, you…”
Hayden looked at his son, gritted his teeth, and began to speak. As he uttered those words, his heart twitched painfully a few times. However, before he could finish, Hendrix interrupted him.
“Father, I understand!”
Saying that, he turned to look at his daughter, his eyes filled with deep affection and reluctance.
“Father…”
“No! Father!”
“We’ll go together! We can escape!”
Violet also realized what was happening and tremulously pleaded with her father.
“Silly girl, you must survive, understand?”
“Go with your grandfather!”
“Stay alive! Otherwise, your father, even as a ghost, will never forgive you!”
After saying these words, Hendrix emitted a terrifying aura, surrounded by black energy.
Surprisingly, he also employed the Cursebearer secret technique.
His strength instantly skyrocketed from the initial stage of Void Reclusion to the mid-stage of Void Reclusion.
Boom!
Hendrix took a step and charged straight toward the top of the dungeon.
A thunderous boom!
Under the overwhelming power of the mid-stage Void Reclusion, the dungeon’s top, forged from thousand-year cold iron, was instantly smashed open by Hendrix, creating a large hole.
The water from above, mixed with fish, shrimp, and aquatic plants, gushed in.
Splash!
After a few breaths, Hendrix burst through the surface of the lake and landed on the pavilion of a small island.
He surveyed the elite members of the Willis family rushing towards him from all directions and burst into maniacal laughter.
“Hahaha…”
“I want to see if the present members of the Ancient Willis family have all become Maximus’s lackeys!”
“Are you going to attack me?”
Hendrix looked around, shouting loudly.
Meanwhile, inside the dungeon!
“Father…”
Violet’s voice cried out in anguish.
Boom!
Rumble…
From above, violent fluctuations could be heard.
Hendrix had already engaged in a fierce battle with the rapidly approaching elite members of the Willis family.
The elite members of the Willis family who could quickly rush to the scene in case of an incident were undoubtedly those who firmly stood on Maximus’s side.
Among them were Archer, the punitive elder of the Ancient Willis family, and others.
“Violet, run!”
“Don’t let us… die in vain!”
At this moment, Hayden pulled Violet forcefully. Taking advantage of Hendrix’s diversion of powerful enemies, he forcefully pulled Violet and rushed out of the dungeon from another direction.
After a moment!
When Hayden and Violet had already reached the edge of the family domain’s barrier, both of them involuntarily looked in the same direction.
A trace of sorrow appeared on their faces!
The battle fluctuations from the direction of the dungeon had already… ceased.
There was no need to say what had become of Hendrix’s fate!
“Father!”
Violet cried out heartbreakingly, tears streaming down her face.
“Violet, run!”
Hayden’s tears also flowed, urging in pain.
However, at that moment, his face suddenly changed as he looked in a certain direction.
He saw a figure rushing towards them like a streak of light, extremely fast.
“Run? I’m afraid you won’t be able to escape!”
“Hayden! Why do you make things difficult for me?”
The one who came was unexpectedly Reggie Willis, one of the supreme elders of the Ancient Willis family!
A powerful presence in the late stage of Void Reclusion!
“As a supreme elder of the family, you, this old thief, are actually helping Maximus do evil!”
“Reggie, before I die today, I will drag you down with me!”
“Violet, I’ll hold him off. You run!”
“Child, run!”
Hayden stared at Reggie with hatred in his eyes while shouting at Violet behind him.
“Grandfather…”
Violet hesitated, her voice filled with reluctance and anger. Finally, she gritted her teeth, showing determination, and quickly turned around, rushing out of the family domain’s barrier.
She knew that staying behind would be in vain.
She could only let her grandfather and father sacrifice themselves in vain.
She had to stay alive!
She had to seek revenge!
Seeing his granddaughter leave, Hayden’s face revealed a relieved and gratified expression.
The next moment, terrifying black energy surged around him as he charged towards Reggie.
In his eyes, there was an unwavering resolve and a madness to die together!
