To his surprise, Dominic continued to fan the flames with the bellows and said after a moment, "Everyone has their destiny. Those who are fated to die will not live, and those who are fated to live will not die. We can't go against nature, or we will suffer the consequences."
As he spoke, Dominic looked up at Fred meaningfully, who frowned in response. Fred could tell the old man was mocking him and seemed to know something.
"I came here to ask for your help because I'm concerned about Lily's health. Don't push me," he threatened.
Dominic then hit Fred on the hand with the bellows. "And what if I do?"
"Hey!" Alarmed, Fred stepped back and glared at Dominic while holding his hand that had been hit. "Lily's heart rate is so slow that she might die at any moment. If you don't come with me, her chances of survival will be slim. I know you don't save people anymore, but Lily's your favorite student, right?"
"As I said, everyone has their destiny. Lily—"
Fred suddenly pulled out a gun and pointed it at Dominic.
"I told you not to push me. Although I don't wish to make a scene here, I won't go easy on anyone who messes with my plan!" he said coldly, "Why do you have to be so stubborn? Lily’s your student.
“If you didn't care about her, you wouldn't have helped her with her kid and did everything else you did for her.”
Dominic was surprised that Fred knew this much. The servants hurried over, but the old man waved them off. "Fine, I'll go with you, but I won’t promise that I’ll be able to save her."
Not buying this, Fred chuckled. "We all know how amazing your skills are. Besides, I'm sure you’ll do your best for your beloved student." He gestured with the gun. "Let's get going then. We shouldn’t waste any more time."
And thus, after so many years, Dominic finally left the estate and got into his car.
The two vehicles then set off.
...
As the sky darkened, a car maneuvered through a narrow alley. The car made several more turns before finally entering the gates of Alex’s house. The gates immediately closed behind the car heading to the parking lot.
The second the car came to a stop, Alexander, Edward, and Mike approached. There was no one else besides them. The car door then opened, and Ross stepped out.
