Elizabeth seemed to have realized what he was about to say. Her expression changed drastically as she quickly stopped him.
"No!"
Elizabeth's obstruction caused Thomas to become agitated. He turned his head and roared at her.
"I want to let him know!"
"Don't do this!"
Elizabeth pleaded softly. Although she had made a mistake, she did not want these things to be made public.
Thomas was still unmoved.
"Stop deceiving yourself and others!"
"James..."
However, James was not in the mood to care about what the two of them were talking about. The moment his father died in front of him, James only felt his mind go blank. What followed was endless pain, anger, and hatred. A pain that penetrated deep into his bones was produced from his heart and quickly spread throughout his body.
In his weak body, something seemed to be awakening!
In the end, this strange feeling was all concentrated in his arms. Something seemed to be rapidly growing inside his arms, and it was slowly moving towards the front of his arms.
Under this strange feeling, James could not help but clench his fists.
Soon, the thing in his arms moved to the position of his fists. However, it did not seem to have any intention of stopping. It was still slowly moving forward, as if it was going to break through his skin and come out of his body.
James could not help but raise his arms and look down at his hands.
Under his extremely shocked gaze, in the gap between the four fingers of his fists, three sharp white bone spurs were slowly emerging from his skin.
Elizabeth and Thomas also noticed the shocking change in James' hands. They could not help but stop arguing and looked at James in shock.
Viktor who saw this scene was also shocked. He was one step slower than John Howlett and arrived just in time to see Howlett reprimanding Thomas.
He was originally worried that the two of them would fight. However, he did not expect Thomas to not say a word after seeing John Howlett. Instead, he directly raised the shotgun in his hand and pulled the trigger.
Originally, this sudden change had already shocked him. Then, he saw with his own eyes six sharp bone claws that were more than a foot long quickly growing out of James' hands. This unbelievable and bizarre scene brought him more shock than John Howlett being shot by his father.
Viktor could not help but look down at his own hands when he saw the slender and sharp bone claws on James' hands. Although the nails on his left hand were not as long as the bone spurs on James' fingers, they were just as sharp and sharp! Like the claws of a beast!
Was there a connection between the two?
Before the few of them could recover from the change in James, James who had fully grown his claws suddenly raised his head and stared at Thomas with a ferocious gaze. Viktor who grew up with him had never seen such a gaze from him.
James stretched out his arms and roared like a wild beast. His figure suddenly dashed out, and the bone spurs in his hands extended forward. He roared as he charged towards Thomas at a high speed!
At this moment, his explosive speed was actually much faster than an adult's!
Thomas who was still stunned by the scene in front of him instinctively raised the shotgun in his hand and pointed it at James who was charging at him.
Seeing that Thomas's index finger was already on the trigger, Elizabeth, who had just witnessed the scene of him shooting John Howlett without hesitation, knew that he would really shoot, even if the person was James!
Elizabeth did not want him to continue killing people. She pounced forward from the side and pushed the gun barrel to the side.
"Bang!"
A loud gunshot rang out again, but because Elizabeth pushed the gun barrel away in time, the shotgun bullet shot into the air and did not hit James.
James who was in a berserk state ignored the threat of the shotgun from beginning to end. He did not stop moving. Just as the gunshot rang out, James had already rushed in front of Thomas. The six bone spurs on his hands that were more than twenty centimeters long easily pierced Thomas' chest with the force of his charge. They went all the way to the root and pierced six finger-sized bloody holes in Thomas' body!
Thomas' tall body seemed to have lost its strength in an instant. He was pushed by the short James and slammed into the wooden door behind him.
"James!"
Y'lisabet, who had fallen to the ground after grabbing the gun barrel, turned around and saw the scene. She couldn't help but scream in horror.
Although she did not want her son to be killed by Thomas, she also did not want Thomas to be killed, even if he had just killed her husband with his own hands.
Viktor was stunned by this series of unforeseen events. He had not recovered from the shock of seeing James' claws grow out of his hands. The father he hated so much died under James' claws. His expression was very complicated. He did not know if he should be happy or sad.
Thomas, who had his chest impaled by James' bone spike and nailed to the wooden door, could only feel his strength rapidly draining away. He lowered his head in pain and looked at James, who was glaring fiercely at him with his hands pressed against his chest. His voice was weak as he spoke slowly.
"He … He is not your father."
James was stunned when he heard this. His fierce expression gradually disappeared and was replaced by confusion. He slowly turned his head to look at his mother who had fallen to the ground and tried to get confirmation from her.
Elizabeth met her son's gaze and hesitated. Although she did not say anything, James still understood that Thomas was telling the truth!
It turned out that James, who was raised by John Howlett as his son, was actually born from an affair between his wife Elizabeth and the gardener Thomas.
But now that he was dead, he would never know this secret in this lifetime.
But to him, this might be a better outcome. Otherwise, he would be in so much pain if he knew that the son he doted on so much was not his biological son.
"Son!"
Thomas, who was pierced in the chest by James' bone spurs, felt his life quickly slipping away. He stared at James in front of him and used the last of his strength to say this last sentence.
James was at a loss when he was called "son". He stepped back in horror and pulled out the six bone spurs that were as thick as fingers from Thomas' chest.
