But Morris wouldn't agree to Cherise. "Cherise, if someone's going in, it's you. Go now; do as I say."

While saying this, Morris forcefully pulled her, trying to hide he behind him as much as possible.

Rita looked at the two of them, and it was quite a sore sight-this was the kind of affection she would never have in her lifetime.

The more jealous she was, the more wicked she became. She glared at them and said, "Don't try any tricks in front of me. If I smash all these little bottles, neither of you can escape it.

"These cursed worms are something I've carefully nurtured over the years. Once you're affected, you will be like a zombie.

"I'll let you experience a pain worse than death.

"Come on; didn't you want to kill me? Get closer. As soon as you do, I'll smash the glass bottles on me.

"I want to see if you're faster or if I am.

"If we're equally fast, at worst, we'll all die together.

"Anyway, I won't live much longer in this stage. It's not a bad deal to die with a famous professor, Clusia's richest person, the Dark Web Division's leader."

-Cherise's mind was racing, and while Rita was distracted, she traced a letter on Morris's palm.

Morris instantly understood what Cherise meant.

After they counted the number from three to one silently, Morris suddenly lunged towards Rita.

Just as Rita was getting ready to smash the glass bottles, Cherise swiftly sidestepped and aimed two needles at Rita's arms.

Two swift needles pierced into the arteries of Rita's palms in an instant, stopping her from breaking the glass bottle.

After Cherise successfully stopped Rita's actions, Morris quickly pulled a handgun from his pocket and aimed it at the middle of Rita's forehead.

Rita realized her hands were completely powerless, but even with Morris pointing a gun at her, she showed sign of fear.

Instead, she let out a mocking laugh. "Hahaha, so what if my hands are useless? Go ahead; shoot. If you fire and I fall, these bottles will explode too."

"Morris, you're usually so smart, but now you're making the wrong decision. Come on."

At that moment, as if newly energized, Rayburn, who had been lying on the floor, quickly got up. With all his strength, he ran behind Rita and held her tightly. "Morris, shoot, kill her, and avenge Megan. I've got her pinned." Responding to Rayburn's call, Morris and Cherise acted swiftly: one threw needles from afar to immobilize Rita's feet, while the other aimed at her forehead, pulled the trigger, and fired.

Rita saw the bullet coming her way and wanted to dodge it, but her body wouldn't move. She tried to tilt her head to dodge

1. it.

Unexpectedly, Rayburn held her head with both hands, keeping it firmly in place.

Besides, Rayburn showed no intention of dodging it at all.

Kata continuously reamed, Rayann, how dare you treat me this way!"

Rita laughed bitterly, saying. "Hahaha, looks like you're my nemesis, Rayburn.

In the end, I lost to Megan. I hate it. I hate it

Cherise felt something was wrong and shouted, "Grandpa, turn your head. Watch out for the bullet.

However, Rayburn just gave her a slight smile.

Next, the sound of the bullet piercing flesh was heard, followed by two muffled groans.

Rita was staring ahead, not even blinking, while Rayburn's eyes were tightly shut.

It seemed like there was still a faint curve lingering at the corner of his mouth.

Needless to say, both of them no longer had any signs of being alive.

Even at this moment, Rayburn was still supporting Rita, refusing to let her collapse easily.

Cherise stood frozen in place, gazing at the scene, feeling a void inside.

Although Rayburn had caused many mistakes and was the catalyst for many events, seeing an elder related by blood pass away left a complicated feeling.

Morris came over and put his arm around her shoulder. "This was your grandpa's choice; respect it."

Cherise nodded, staying silent, just quietly watching the relative who had passed away before her eyes.

Thinking back to the first time she went to Hamolica and met him, his kindness, his smile, and every word he spoke.

It was a mix of joy and sadness, the familiarity that comes from blood ties, the sense of distance from secretly blaming him for not being responsible enough, and even the calmness in the face of death without fear today. They all played over and over in her mind.

When Jason dragged his still frail body over and saw the scene, he froze just like Cherise.

After a moment, he regained his composure, walked over to Cherise and Morris, and asked, "So did my grandpa and Rita die together?

"Cherise, are you two okay? Is anyone hurt?"

Cherise didn't speak but slowly walked toward the breathless Rayburn and Rita.

Standing in front of Rita, she looked at her coldly and then at the dozens of bottles hanging from her. She took out a vial of insecticide she déveloped with Crow from her pocket.

She dripped it into each glass bottle one by one. Once all the worms turned to dust, she finally spoke to Jason, "You can separate her from Grandpa now.

"Grandpa was brave; he protected us.

"Jason, I'll let you handle the arrangements for Grandpa's funeral"

After saying this, she glanced at Morris; they ignored everything else and headed together into the Chivers Residence.
