Chapter 89: There Is No Saving Them

Everyone watched as Damian killed Stefano Barone.

His body swelled grotesquely from the inside before rapidly tearing apart, his skin, muscles, and tissues shredding under the immense pressure of the air forcibly expanding within him.

But Stefano had died long before his body burst.

His lungs collapsed, his organs failed, his stomach ruptured, and his nervous system shut down.

He was dead before the worst could even happen.

Damian had overestimated him.

He hadn't expected Stefano to die so soon.

"Hmm... well, that wasn't quite what I expected," Damian muttered.

For some reason, he had imagined Stefano swelling up like a balloon, expanding comically before popping, much like a certain cat from an old cartoon.

That thought had crossed his mind for a fleeting moment, but he knew reality didn't work like that.

The actual result of his experiment was far less amusing.
