Chapter 466.

At the sight of this horror, everyone-forgetting all sense of dignity, status, power, or honor-began scrambling and cramp all fours. In the face of death, glory and wealth were nothing but shadows

This was the moment Albert and Tate truly let go of their obsession with power. Seeing those three people vaporized indy made them realize that survival was everything. They clung to June like their lives depended on it. Wherever she went, they followe

June wasn’t faring much better. The violent bucking of the earth didn’t care about gender, age, or whether she had been a he past life. It tossed her around just like everyone else.

At that moment, Arthur Quinn lost his footing. He was thrown by a massive tremor right toward the edge of the nearby magna post.

“Sylvia, save me!” Arthur lunged out, grabbing Sylvia Sutton’s arm with a death grip, dragging her down toward the lava pit as they bor

tumbled.

“No! I don’t want to die!” Sylvia screamed, struggling frantically, “Arthur, let go! Don’t drag me down with your

In the violent struggle, their metallic prosthetics were ripped away. Without their artificial limbs, they couldn’t stand. They were reduced to crawling frantically with their hands.

With Arthur clutching her arm, Sylvia couldn’t move forward. She could only watch in terror as Arthur pulled her toward the edge of the pit-toward the abyss of death.

“June, help me! Save your mother!” Sylvia shrieked in total despair. “I don’t want to die!”

June spun around and saw that Arthur had already been jolted to the very edge of the magma. He was seconds away from falling in. Sylvia’s face was twisted in a savage, desperate scowl as she clawed at the ground while kicking at the man dragging her down.

This once-devoted couple finally revealed their true colors in the face of death.

“Sylvia, are you really this heartless?” Arthur could already feel the searing heat on his stumps. Even without looking back, he knew he was inches away from the fire. If someone just gave him a pull, he could live.

He didn’t want to die. He wanted to live.

If the earth wasn’t shaking, he could have crawled back himself. But the ground was heaving and rolling; he couldn’t find any leverage. His Super Strength was completely useless here.

Sylvia had Super Speed. Even if it was a “trash” ability, she was fast enough to drag him out of this hellish zone.

He pleaded desperately, “Sylvia, we are husband and wife; we share a bond of a lifetime. Are you really going to leave me to die?”

Sylvia was too paralyzed by fear to listen. She thrashed wildly. “Arthur, if you really love me, don’t ruin me! I don’t want to die! I’m only forty-two! I have half my life left! Let go! Let me go!”

“Sylvia, I drove my wife to an early grave for you! I abandoned my powerful daughter, Josie Quinn, for you!” Arthur’s expression turned monstrous. “Now you’re telling me to let you go? Who’s going to let me go? I said it before-our family of three will never be apart in this life!”

“I won’t! I won’t!” Sylvia screamed, using her stumps to kick Arthur’s chest. ‘Go reunite with your dead wife! I’m not dying with you” June! June, hurry up and save me!” Sylvia wailed. “Your mother doesn’t want to die!”

Suddenly, another violent tremor hit.

Arthur, Sylvia, and June were all jolted several feet closer to the magma pool. A splash of lava hit Arthur’s stump, and he let out a blood-curdling scream of agony.

Driven by raw survival instinct, he tightened his grip on Sylvia, trying to use her body as a ladder to haul himself up. His weight and the force of his pull dragged Sylvia even closer to the molten heat.

June was trying to pull two people at once, and it wasn’t working. She finally realized the truth.

Today, she could only save one. It was either Sylvia or Arthur.

She shot a single glance at Sylvia and made her decision: abandon Arthur.

Sylvia had given birth to her and raised her. Arthur, on the other hand, had barely been a part of her childhood. The fatherly love she had once craved was no longer necessary. In a moment like this, a father was expendable.

June grabbed Arthur’s arm and looked him in the eye, her voice cold and hollow. “Dad, we can’t all die here today. If you ever truly loved me or Mom, then let us go.”

Arthur looked at June in utter shock. “What do you mean? You want me to die? I’m your own father!”
