Lord Death Is Now Back Home by Chris

Chapter 1222: The Chain Illusion

Thinking of this, Daniel Williams looked at Guardian Tim and said, "You jump down!"

"Me?" Guardian Tim was stunned. He didn't expect Daniel Williams to ask him to jump.

Daniel Williams said expressionlessly, "Yes, you jump down now!"

"But, my lord, I am your trusted aide! You can't make me go to my death..." Guardian Tim cried out immediately.

Damn it! Knowing that the cliff ahead was bottomless and still being asked to jump, Daniel Williams was forcing him to die! Daniel Williams impatiently replied, "Why are you talking so much? I told you to jump. If you keep talking, I'll kill you right now!"

To Daniel Williams, Guardian Tim was just a dog. Now it was time for this dog to be useful. If Guardian Tim refused to obey his orders, he would have to kill him. After all, a disobedient dog was of no use. "I..." Guardian Tim opened his mouth but didn't know what to say. He knew that if he didn't jump, Daniel Williams would really kill him. As a ruthless prince of Amerosia, Daniel Williams wouldn't hesitate. Jumping might offer a slim chance of survival. Not jumping meant certain death. Guardian Tim approached the edge of the cliff and saw the abyss below. His legs trembled slightly. But he had no way out now. He gritted his teeth, closed his eyes, and jumped.

"Ah!" With a scream, Guardian Tim's body quickly plummeted.

Everyone watched in shock. No one knew what was happening. The cliff was bottomless; no one knew if Guardian Tim was dead or alive after falling.

Daniel Williams turned to Peterson Abernathy and said, "Mr. Abernathy, my man has jumped. Isn't it your turn now?"

Peterson Abernathy's face turned extremely grim. He hadn't expected Daniel Williams to be so cunning, making his subordinate jump first. It seemed everyone here was an old fox; no one could outwit the other.

Peterson Abernathy turned to Devil's Frown and said, "Devil's Frown, you jump!"

Instantly, Devil's Frown's face turned pale green. He realized that in the eyes of Peterson Abernathy and Daniel Williams, he and Guardian Tim were just cannon fodder.Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

But there was no choice; their strength was inferior, and they were under others' command. Being under someone else's wing meant accepting the role of cannon fodder. "Yes!" Devil's Frown didn't waste any words and approached the cliff because he knew speaking up wouldn't change anything. Whether he wanted to or not, he had to jump. Having pledged allegiance to the Abernathy family left him with no choice of his own. Devil's Frown gritted his teeth and jumped.

Seeing both Guardian Tim and Devil's Frown jump down, Daniel Williams said gravely, "Mr. Abernathy, we have no other choice now. Let's all jump together! Otherwise, even if we go back the way we came, we might not get out."

"Alright!" Peterson Abernathy knew it was impossible to make Daniel Williams jump first. Moreover, Daniel Williams was right; the way back was blocked. Going back was not an option anymore. So they all jumped together-Daniel Williams, Peterson Abernathy, and the others.

Meanwhile...

Chris Shelby was falling rapidly; the wind roared past his ears. At this moment, Chris Shelby felt confused. Was this a real cliff and not an illusion? If it wasn't an illusion, wouldn't he be dead?

Regretting his impulsiveness

slightly, Chris Shelby wasn't afraid of dying but worried about what would happen to Ye Mengyan if he died. She couldn't handle being left alone in this world!

Just as Chris Shelby regretted it, everything suddenly changed...

Chris Shelby found himself standing in a grand hall; there was no cliff at all.

Taking a deep breath, Chris Shelby muttered to himself, "It really was an illusion; that was terrifying!"

At this moment, Tiger and others appeared beside Chris Shelby.

Tiger looked at Chris Shelby with concern and asked, "Boss, are you alright?"

Chris Shelby shook his head and said, "I'm fine."

Hearing this relieved Tiger immensely. When he saw Chris Shelby jump earlier, he had been terrified because if Chris Shelby died, he wouldn't survive either. So without hesitation, he had jumped too.

Tiger's thoughts were simple: if Chris Shelby died, he would die with. him! Seeing that Tiger and others had followed him down touched Chris Shelby deeply. They were brothers who had faced countless life-and-death situations together over many years.

Some things didn't need to be said aloud; they just needed to be remembered in the heart. So Chris Shelby didn't say anything sentimental. Moments later, Devil's Frown and Guardian Tim appeared in the hall as well.

Guardian Tim looked at Devil's Frown awkwardly since he used to be Devil's Frown's subordinate. Now they served different masters; meeting again felt awkward.

Devil's Frown didn't even glance at Guardian Tim because in his eyes Guardian Tim was a traitor. When the time came, he would kill this traitor himself. "Chris Shelby! You're still alive!" Devil's Frown gritted his teeth when he saw Chris Shelby.

Chris Shelby looked at him mockingly and said, "Devil's Frown! Are you disappointed I'm not dead? You were forced to jump too? I bet someone made you do it!"

Devil's Frown remained silent but looked uncomfortable because Chris Shelby had guessed correctly!

At that moment, Devil's Frown secretly vowed that once he rebuilt Ghost Sect, he'd leave the Abernathy family behind for good-he'd had enough of living under someone else's thumb! Seconds later, Peterson Abernathy and Daniel Williams arrived in the hall as well.

"Phew!" Everyone sighed in relief upon realizing they were safe because jumping off such a high cliff would scare anyone senseless.

Being alive now felt like a blessing!

Peterson Abernathy looked at Chris Shelby and asked, "Chris Shelby! Have we escaped the illusion?"

Chris Shelby replied gravely: "Don't relax yet; I think we're still in an illusion array. Whatever we see or experience next isn't real-it's all an illusion!"

Hearing this made everyone's faces turn serious again-they hadn't expected more illusions ahead! Who knew what dangers awaited them next in this Terracotta Tomb?
