The ceiling seemed to melt, and clumps of cement dripped down, as if the entire room had become part of the monster's body.

Corneon sat behind his desk, motionless.

"Mr. Corneon, aren't you worried that Stone will get rid of you and us together, and then announce to the outside world that we killed you, so that he can avenge you and eliminate the traitor?"

Drizzt took out his revolver and said.

This was not only said to Corneion, but also to Stone.

If Stone and Corneon are determined to stand together, then Trist and others are actually in relatively danger. After all, Xia can hold them off, Lu Ban is not afraid of death, but Trist himself does not have so many abilities to save his life. If he really starts a killing spree, he will be the most unlucky one.

Therefore, Trist needed to create a rift between Stone and Cornell and make Stone hesitate.

If you hesitate, you will fail.

The falling mud seemed to be slightly delayed and did not immediately cover the three people.

Shia has raised her hand.

Mystra's Void Explosion!

Cornell's plan was perfect. The Catania family's current power could not be countered by a mere detective.

Even if Drizzt killed Cornell and Stone on the spot and escaped from here, someone would always know that he did all this, and the remaining members of the Catania family would continue to hunt him down until Drizzt was eliminated.

Therefore, Cornell believed that Drizzt would not fight to the death no matter what, and his words just now proved this point. The detective wanted to persuade him to stop, but Drizzt still wanted to live in the Wasted City.

It was for this reason that when he saw some kind of extraordinary power coming towards him, Corneon felt a tremor in his soul.

That is the feeling of humility, fear, and helplessness that a tiny mortal feels when he sees extraordinary power, and it is the despair that has been buried for many years.

Bang——

The invisible air ball hit the mahogany desk in front of Corneon. The force was so strong that the desk suddenly exploded, and the loud noise caused ripples in the mud.

Before Conion could draw his pistol, he was blown away by a huge force. His back hit the wooden frame of the window behind him, and the glass had already shattered and splashed.

In an instant, the mud rushed towards Corneon, trying to protect him.

Lu Ban also raised his right hand at this time, and a silver revolver materialized, firing verbal bullets at the mud that was spreading towards Corneon.

Bang--

The silent gunshots were accompanied by crazy mutterings. The sludge was hit and quickly lost its direction. The whole room was like the throat of a person who was about to cough, constantly contracting and expanding, producing a sensation.

thump--

A man fell from the ceiling. It was Stone, who was covered in mud.

His face looked very bad, and it seemed as if something was growing inside his body. It seemed as if there were bugs under his skin trying to break out of his body.

But the silt seemed to have retained a last bit of rationality. It tried its best to shrink and condense back from the walls, ceiling, and ground. The outside of the silt kept wriggling and expanding, as if it was struggling.

The changes in Stone's body also subsided a little. He stood up with the help of the wall and glanced at Cornell who was lying on the ground.

Corneon twitched slightly, struggled a bit, and seemed to be motionless.

It is not known whether he is dead or not, but at least he will suffer from a lifelong disability. The Catania family suffered a heavy blow when it was about to unify the entire underground world of the abandoned city.

"You are really unreasonable..."

Stone smiled, as if he was making fun of himself.

He was hesitant and calculating, plotting and scheming, and fighting against old foxes like Cornellón. In the end, the girl solved the biggest culprit with a slap. She completely ignored the complicated network of relationships and the forces of the abandoned city that colluded internally and externally, and broke through all the shackles like a mudslide.

This makes Stone look like a clown.

And it's like this every time.

In the car heading to the abandoned city, Lu Ban also ran all the way without any scruples. The ratmen, the lush vegetation, and the big fish flying in the air that still appeared in his nightmares made Stone's eardrums buzz.

In the eyes of these people, the rules, authority, order, and everything that made people feel submissive and fearful in the abandoned city seemed to not exist.

"It's over. Everything is over."

He slumped on the ground with mixed emotions.

If Cornell was his enemy, then Stone might feel very happy and avenged at this moment.

If Cornell was his relative, he would surely cry and be heartbroken.

But this godfather is more than just a relative or an enemy.

As a child from a single-parent family, Stone lacked fatherly love, and Cornell in a sense gave him the fatherly love he lacked. At least, he was as strict with himself as a father and gave Stone enough support. Although those brothers and sisters had only hypocritical relationships, they did allow Stone to gain a moment of warmth from family affection.

But Stone knew from the beginning that Cornell was just using him, and everything was just an appearance. In the world of gangsters, there were only interests, no emotions.

Maybe pursuing family in the world of gangsters is indeed wrong.

Stone smiled, but it was very forced. He frowned again, and kept repeating this process until he was on the verge of collapse.

He felt like something must be broken about him, because even when the emotion should be taking over, his mind was still racing with thoughts about what to do next.

"Put all the sins on Drizzt?"

"No, I have to survive first. But if I confess, I will be killed by the Catania family even in prison."

"We can't fight them head-on, so there's no chance of winning."

"Damn it, damn it, what should I do..."

It was not until this moment that Stone truly realized how weak he was in front of a being with extraordinary power.

He needs power, he craves power, he must master power.

At this moment, the squirming mud suddenly swelled up.

Stone heard a voice, which sounded in his ears, soft but firm.

"Go!"

Stone had never heard such a sound before, but incredibly, he knew it came from that mass of mud and from that girl, Liz.

The next moment, the mud expanded to several times its original size, blocking Trist and Stone.

And Corneon, the once powerful godfather, lying on the ground, was swallowed by the mud and gained the eternal life that he did not want.

Bang——

The mud exploded and a glass flower rose from the ground, blossomed, and broke the entire building.

Under the rubble, Stone was nowhere to be found.
