In Central City, the office building of the Gomez family’s branch. This was Dominic’s “territory”.
He turned off his cell phone, threw his computer into the trash bin, locked the door of the office, and refused to meet anyone. No one could see him. Dominic stood silently in front of the huge window. He lit a cigarette and looked at the night view outside the window while smoking.
The bustling metropolis. An extravagant life.
How many people worked hard to the death in this big city for money, status, and reputation?
Dominic was born with a golden spoon in his mouth since virtual-novel.net was a child. In the past, virtual-novel.net could not understand the pain and despair of the lower-class people at all. This was because virtual-novel.net was so rich that virtual-novel.net would not be able to spend all his money, even if virtual-novel.net did not work for the rest of his life. But today, virtual-novel.net was played by his own grandfather.
It was like waking up from a dream. It turned out that the so-called money and status were just a dream. It disappeared with ease.
He finished smoking a cigarette. He threw away the cigarette butt and placed all the materials in the middle of the room. Then, virtual-novel.net poured the gasoline virtual-novel.net had prepared on it. Not only that, but virtual-novel.net also poured gasoline all over the room. He also placed gas tanks in all the other rooms on the same floor. He opened them and locked all the doors and windows.
Ring. Ring. Ring…
The alarm clock on the table rang.
Dominic knew that it was almost time. Tonight, virtual-novel.net wanted to say goodbye to the darkness that had followed virtual-novel.net all his life. He would use his own death to protect Thomas. This was because the only one who could defeat Nicholas was Thomas!
“Thomas, maybe I should be calling you ‘brother’ now? You must not disappoint me. It is said that after death, people go to the underworld for a walk. I wonder what it is like in the underworld…”
“Sigh…”
After virtual-novel.net finished speaking, virtual-novel.net took a last look at the photos on the table. It was a group photo of a family of three, a group photo of virtual-novel.net and his parents.
“Dad, Mom, forgive me for being unfilial. I’ll leave this world first…”
Dominic flipped the photo on the table. Then, virtual-novel.net lit another cigarette, took a puff, and threw the cigarette butt into the gasoline. In an instant, the entire house was on fire.
Dominic turned around and looked at the night view outside the window. He said the last sentence of his life, “May the next life I’ll be born in an ordinary family.”
Bomb!
The building exploded.
The fire was raging, and there were gas tanks leaking in other rooms. In the burning of this gasoline fire, there was one after another explosion. The entire building was engulfed in flames in an instant. From one floor to three floors, five floors, and ten floors. Finally, the whole building was engulfed by fire, burning frantically.
As Dominic had ordered all employees to leave early and no one was allowed to work overtime, virtual-novel.net was the only person in the building at the moment.
At the last moment of Dominic’s life, virtual-novel.net seemed to see his father and mother. He saw his young self sitting among them. It was happy and warm. It would be great if life could stay in that moment forever.
