Chapter 721 Chaotic Situation (26) Passing Away

The villa exploded in a massive blast.

All the windows inside the villa shattered into pieces.

Alaric had arranged everything, to put it bluntly, he had settled all matters after death and was about to call Gideon.

He heard a loud noise, a sound that seemed to tear through the sky.

Alaric was on the opposite shore at that moment.

He stared intently at the villa.

The villa seemed to be on the verge of collapse.

Cassius, who was beside Alaric, was also startled by the sudden explosion. He saw clearly that it came from the island villa, and his face changed.

Just a moment ago, he was thinking that this might be the last time he would see Alaric.

Alaric forbade Cassius from going with him.

Alaric asked Cassius to assist Francis.

Alaric said if Cecilia was still alive, Cassius should help take care of her and his child.

If Cecilia were dead.

Then bury her with him.

The three of them, buried together.

Alaric also said, if Dashiell was dead too, make sure to take care of Magnolia.

Alaric gave many instructions, which Cassius didn't want to agree to.

But he had never been able to disobey Alaric's orders since he was a child.

With red-rimmed eyes, Cassius agreed.

But at that moment.

The villa exploded!

He saw the visible panic on Alaric's face.

Alaric had planned a lot.

But he never anticipated so many unexpected events.

Even if Gideon threatened him, with his understanding of Gideon, Gideon wouldn't act prematurely. Gideon would definitely kill him, but Gideon couldn't have died just like that.

"Alaric!" Cassius watched as Alaric suddenly rushed to a speedboat.

Without any hesitation, he headed straight for the island.

Cassius was helpless.

There was no time to think about anything else now.

He gave an order.

Several boats, all from the Royal Family of Whitaker's fleet, sped towards the island.

The closer they got, the more they could see the smoke from the villa.

How could there be such a big explosion?

What happened to cause such a blast?

Were Cecilia and Dashiell inside?

Cassius didn't dare to think further.

He wondered what Alaric would do if he saw Cecilia's body.

He couldn't bear to see it himself, let alone Alaric.

When they sent Cecilia to Gideon, they didn't give her any choice. If Cecilia was really dead now, what would Alaric do?

Cassius's eyes turned red, and he ordered the speed to be increased.

No matter how fast the speedboat was, it couldn't match Alaric's madness.

He watched as Alaric, alone on a speedboat, recklessly sped towards the island.

From a distance.

Alaric landed.

He rushed into the villa.

The surrounding guards were also thrown into chaos by the sudden explosion.

Alaric's arrival didn't make them dare to act rashly. With Gideon dead, the guards were already in disarray.

Inside the villa.

Some areas had already caught fire.

Alaric quickly rushed inside.

There were people lying all over the place.

Some were dead.

Some were not.

But the villa was already in ruins.

Alaric's steps suddenly halted.

His chaotic steps suddenly seemed to freeze.

Because he saw Francis, lying inside the villa.

At the entrance of the villa.

Alaric thought he was seeing things.

Wasn't Francis supposed to have left the island?

The only ones left in the villa were Cecilia, Dashiell, and Augustus.

Why was Francis still here?

He just stared.

Stared for a long time.

Like a puppet.

"Alaric." The severely injured Francis, lying on the ground, suddenly called out to him.

Francis's weak voice.

If it weren't for the suffocating silence, it would have been inaudible.

Alaric's throat moved slightly.

A tear fell onto Francis's face.

Francis felt it.

But he couldn't move at all now.

If he could move, he would definitely help Alaric wipe it away.

He hadn't seen Alaric cry for many years.

He thought Alaric wouldn't cry anymore.

It was good that Alaric could cry for him.

Francis said, "I did my best."

Alaric's tears fell, one by one.

One by one, they hit Francis's face.

At this moment, his stiff body remained stiff.

"I don't know if Cecilia is still..." A mouthful of blood flowed from Francis's mouth.

Blood oozed from Francis's eyes, nose, and ears.

"Alaric, don't be sad," Francis said.

With a mouth full of blood, he still spoke.

"Since I was a child, I've always wanted to stand in front of you one day." Francis wanted to smile.

But he couldn't smile anymore.

He couldn't even see Alaric clearly.

He couldn't see Alaric's tear-streaked face.

"I don't have much attachment to this world. I'm tired..." Francis said softly.

His low voice seemed to have already detached from this world.

"Alaric, don't let Cecilia down," Francis used his last bit of strength, "She deserves it..."

Francis left this world with a smile.

Being able to see Alaric when he died, Francis was actually satisfied.

In this world, the only person he cared about was Alaric.

Being able to exchange his life for Alaric's, he felt it was the greatest happiness of his life.

He never thought living was that important.

But dying with value, Francis felt very satisfied.

Alaric just watched as Francis closed his eyes, just like that, closed his eyes, never to open them again!

Cassius arrived a bit later.

He rushed into the villa, and as soon as he entered, he saw Alaric standing at the entrance, motionless.

In that moment of confusion.

Cassius saw Francis lying on the ground.

Cassius almost fainted.

He rubbed his eyes in disbelief.

Rubbed them again in disbelief.

They had confirmed that Francis had left the villa.

How could Francis be dead here now?

And it looked like he was the one who detonated the explosives?

The person tightly held by Francis was the already dead Gideon.

So Francis left and then returned.

Did he come back to save Cecilia, or to ensure Alaric's survival?

Cassius couldn't figure it out anymore.

He just felt an extreme sadness.

He had watched Francis grow up, watched the always playful Francis lying on the ground.

Just lying there, motionless.

At this moment, he didn't even dare to look at Alaric.

He didn't dare to see how much pain Alaric was in now.

Another member of the Royal Family of Whitaker had died in front of Alaric.

Cassius's throat moved slightly.

He suppressed his emotions and said, "I'll go see if there are any other survivors!"
