Mr. Lewis was dead.
He was struggling desperately and suddenly his body lost its strength as if he had become a soulless puppet. As Tom let him go, he fell to the ground.
The whole room was silent.
Everyone's eyes widened, their faces filled with fear and disbelief, and they looked at Mr. Lewis, who was breathless on the ground.
Mr. Lewis really died, in the hands of Phoebe's husband!
This fact, like a storm, strongly blowing up in everyone's mind, making them scared, panicked, and shocked.
As ordinary people, they had lived a simple and stable life since they were young. The most intense thing they ever experience was quarreling with people. They even seldom fighted with others. How could they have seen a murder?
All of a sudden, they were so scared that they wetted themselves. When they looked at Tom again, they were no longer in awe, but in deep fear! It was like they were looking at a demon, en evil of death, and the most terrifying existence in the world!
What interrupted the silence was the voice coming from the phone on Mr. Lewis. "Beckett? Beckett? Beckett?!"
Without Mr. Lewis's response, Redford paused for three seconds. The next moment, he burst into a roar, "Ah! Who are you? Who are you! How dare you kill my brother-in-law? Tell me who you are!"
The speaker on Beckett's phone was turned on. The voice, like a thunderstorm, exploded on the scene. Even if it was transmitted through the phone, Redford's immense anger and murderous malice could be felt.
After Phoebe heard this, her heart beat faster and she was worried about Tom.
Tom held her hand and gave her a reassuring look. Then he walked over and stomped on Beckett's phone. Redford's voice was immediately cut off.
In another mysterious base, a wild roar was heard, followed by the sound of smashing things.
"No matter who you are, you killed my brother-in-law. I will kill you!"
Outside the door, a few people passed by. When they heard this voice, they couldn't help but shudder and say, "God, who offended Redford?!"
"I've known Redford for so long. I've never seen Redford so angry."
"Whoever he is, he will definitely be killed by Redford."
Ten minutes later, Tom waited until Malcolm arrived and asked Malcolm to clean up the scene before he took Phoebe away.
Now Phoebe's body didn't look as scary as before, and her face returned to normal, not so pale.
But Tom was still not assured, because Tom had already felt that Phoebe's body was not as healthy as before... No, it was not simply about "health", but the origin of life. It was worn out, as if there was a gap, and it was constantly losing vitality.
Phoebe would not live long if this continued.
When they got into the car, Phoebe saw that Tom had been keeping a straight face. She was very sad. She forced out a smile and asked Tom, "Tom, why are you keeping a straight face? Why? Did you blame me for not waiting for you just now?"
