Carson Flores had scarcely finished speaking when the entire altar, along with the temple's floor, silently shattered to pieces, as if an invisible mountain had just crushed the platform from above.
Carson Flores heaved a sigh of relief, realizing that if nothing unexpected happened, Lilly Compton would likely have to follow him in leaving. He certainly didn't want to attract any trouble for himself.
Maintaining his strength, Carson Flores rose to his feet: "I have to get out of here before they become suspicious. You stay hidden, and we'll talk more later, alright?"
"Alright!"
No sooner had Carson Flores exited the temple than the whole structure thunderously collapsed behind him.
Carson Flores was startled but quickly gathered his wits; this was Cristopher Hopkins Immortal obliterating all traces of her existence.
Turning his head for a quick glance, he saw no sign of her and finally let his guard down. He walked over to the steps at the front and sat down.
