Amid Rui Jones's screams, Barnett let out a savage roar and lunged, his fangs sinking deep into Rui Jones's neck. His pale face remained eerily beautiful, his blood-red eyes half-lidded as if searching for answers in the blood itself. The sight horrified me—my legs wobbled, and I staggered back. Each step felt heavier than the last, my body betraying the shock coursing through my veins. This wasn't just violence; it was raw, primal fury unleashed without restraint. Barnett, usually the epitome of grace and control, now resembled a beast driven to the brink by betrayal and despair. Lionel pulled me into his arms, his grip firm yet comforting, as if assuring me everything would be fine. But I couldn't look away, staring transfixed as the usually refined man tore into his "son" like a wounded beast. The iron tang of blood filled the air—a sickening yet undeniable reminder that this was no dream or illusion, but a true tragedy.
