Cayden had always held a certain dislike for Darryl. He hated him for his power. When an opportunity to get back at Darryl presented itself, Cayden couldn't help but feel overjoyed.
The Carter family held great influence in The Nine Mainland. Cayden believed that if he helped Grunt eliminate the Carters, he would make a name for himself in The Nine Mainland.
More importantly, Cayden wanted to gain favor with Grunt since he was the envoy of the Godly Region.
Cayden drew his sword and started mowing through his enemies. Naturally, Dax fell prey to him and had his movements restricted.
He locked his gaze onto Dax's. "Dax, I bet you didn't see this coming."
Having said this, Cayden smiled as he slowly walked towards Dax. This made Dax extremely exasperated. All he could do was sit and take whatever banter Cayden threw at him. To be taunted by an opponent was one thing but to get taunted by an inferior opponent is where Dax drew the line.
On a normal occasion, Dax would have easily won the battle against Cayden, especially with the help of his Sky Breaking ax. However, he was already severely weakened by Grunt's prior attacks. Cayden saw that as an opportunity of a lifetime and seized it perfectly.
"Phew!" Cayden taunted.
"F*ck you! You coward!" Dax shouted.
When Cayden heard this, he responded by stepping on Dax's chest, suffocating him.
Since Dax was already incredibly weak, he could not dodge the attack and was desperately gasping for air.
Thud!
Dax's sternum shattered along with a few other rib bones. In a matter of seconds, he was lying down in a puddle of blood, face as pale as a ghost, and was close to death. He clenched his teeth even harder as the pain became more prominent. The initial surge of adrenaline from the sudden injury, which helped numb the pain, had dissipated over time.
'Cayden really has no shame, using such a dishonorable tactic!' Dax grieved as he was lying down.
"Nancy!" Dax cried.
In that instant, a blade pierced right through Nancy's chest, hitting some of her vital organs. Blood from the wound slid across the edge of the blade until it reached the tip, where blood droplets formed and fell. Witnessing this horrifying scene, Dax lunged over to hold Nancy in his embrace. His eyes had turned bloodshot and he started shouting like a mad man.
Although Nancy's body was incredibly weak, she delivered her final message to Dax, "These few years have been the happiest times of my life. Thank you for giving me everything… I just wish that we could have more time together…"
With the little life she had left in her, Nancy said her final words. Then, her eyes were shut.
"Nancy!" Dax shouted, feeling destroyed inside.
No man could hold in their tears in that situation. The couple had been together for so many years, and for one of them to leave so suddenly, it must have hurt.
