Chapter 1060 Unworthy
No, no! You can’t kill me! I don’t want to die. I can’t die!” Gregory shook his head helplessly. He swept his aze across everyone inside the room before finally stopping on Alex.
Dragging his feeble body, Gregory crawled with all his might toward Alex, grabbing at the hem of the atter’s trousers and pleading, “Master, I was wrong. I really do see the error of my ways now. Please save ne. I beg you. I don’t want to die!”
Alex looked down at Gregory disdainfully and uttered indifferently, “You should’ve thought about these consequences when you committed those heinous deeds. What goes around comes around!”
At that moment, Erika had floated over to Gregory’s side. She grasped his neck with her blue hands and glared at him with bloodshot eyes. “Gregory, you destroyed my family. The hatred I harbor toward you won’t be quenched even if you die a thousand or ten thousand times!”
With that, she focused her will, causing ghostly blue fire to spread and engulf Gregory’s body. Immediately afterward, his anguished screams filled the room.
“Help! It hurts. It hurts so much! Save me, Grandpa. I don’t want to die yet! Dad, I’m your son. Please help me! Save me!”
While enduring the agony, Gregory continued pleading with everyone. His body writhed and rolled on the floor in pain, but all his effort was in vain. Ghostly flames were different from ordinary fire. They wouldn’t extinguish without the command of their master, and the damage inflicted upon humans by ghostly fire was irreversible.
At that instant, Gregory, rolling on the floor relentlessly, was turning black rapidly. It was as if his body was being dragged through a vat of black ink.
His struggles became more intense. His body twisted and convulsed in agony until the blood vessels under his skin bulged and burst, splattering blood everywhere.
Witnessing that, the other three members of the Greaves family closed their eyes. Garett turned his head. unable to bear the sight. Although Gregory deserved that terrible fate, he was still the grandson Garett had raised. Therefore, it was unavoidable for him to feel heartbroken.
Garett figured if he hadn’t removed the talisman from Gregory’s neck, perhaps the latter could continue living carefreely for the rest of his life. However, Garett knew that wouldn’t be fair to victims like Erika and the other young women Gregory had cruelly murdered. I killed my grandson, but Gregory deserves it!
Tears streamed from the corner of Tobias’ eyes as he watched his son die in such a painful way. With a heavy sigh, he murmured, “Be a good person in your next life. Don’t commit such evil acts anymore. You not only harmed others but also yourself.”
After spasming on the ground a few times, Gregory finally became still. His eyes were rolled back, and his facial features were distorted and menacing. It was clear he had suffered greatly before expiring,
Soon, a soul floated out from Gregory’s body. Looking at the charred corpse on the floor, Gregory’s bewildered wandering soul scratched his head. When his hand passed through his head, he finally realized something was wrong.
Baffled, his wandering soul questioned everyone, “What’s going on? Why is there a burned corpse that looks just like me on the ground? Why is my hand transparent? What’s happening?”
Gregory, caught in bewilderment, had no idea what was going on.
