Chapter 642 Sudden Explosion

Marcus knew his body had been injected with a specialty drug. His strength and will were fading slowly.

Nevertheless, he was stunned by the particular word that Clayton called him.

“Dad?” Marcus opened his mouth with difficulty. “Why did you call me Dad? I don’t have any child.”

“You are indeed my dad.” Clayton tried to explain, “My mom is Natalie, and she gave birth to my brother and me

five years ago. We know you are not a good person, and you’ve done a lot of bad things. Still, you are our birth

father!”

“This…”

“I’ve just met you today. And Xavian has not ever met you yet. We are reluctant to admit you as our father. But, we

can’t just let you die here! We still hope to help you turn over a new leaf. We want to teach you some skills and find

a decent job for you! That’s what we should do as your sons!”

As Clayton was speaking, droplets of tears fell out of his eyes.

“Dad, please hold on a little longer. I will ask Xavian to contact Mom right now! She is a good doctor. She will be

able to cure you…”

Clayton wanted to leave, but Marcus grabbed his hand.

Marcus knew Yara had set him up. The drug in his body was powerful, and he feared he would not be able to make

it.

Maybe he was touched by Clayton’s tears, or he knew he was about to die. He somehow found his conscience as he

opened his mouth slowly. “Kid… I… I am not your father…”

Clayton furrowed his brows upon hearing that. He could not help but ask, “How could it be? After Mom knew we

were investigating you, she strictly forbade us from doing that. She said you didn’t deserve to be our father, and

she wanted us to give up on finding you!”

“Really…” Marcus tried his best to speak. “Natalie misunderstood… She thought I… I didn’t… You guys are not my

sons…”

Marcus recalled the figure lit up a candle in the corner of the warehouse just now. He was aware the warehouse

was loaded with flammable stuff.

Meanwhile, his sight was starting to fade.

He did not care if he died here, but he could not let the two kids lose their lives.

He used his last might to stand up and threw Clayton out of the warehouse.

As if in intermittent flashes, the moment Clayton fell onto the ground outside, a loud bang sounded within the

warehouse. Flames of the explosion appeared throughout the warehouse.

Even though Clayton did not witness Marcus getting burned, he imagined the latter was blown into pieces in the

explosion.

On the other end, when Xavian was counting down the three minutes, the warehouse exploded.

He shuddered as he ran toward the warehouse with all his might.

Xavian paled in fright upon seeing that scene.

“Clayton… Clayton…”

He was relieved as he spotted Clayton, staring at the fire. He ran toward the latter without hesitation.

“Clayton, are you all right?” Xavian scanned Clayton’s body to check his injury.

Clayton remained silent for a long while.

“Please don’t scare me!” Xavian asked anxiously, “What exactly happened in there? Why did the warehouse

explode? What about that man? Where is Dad?”

Xavian was eager to meet his birth father as well.

His heart fell with a thud after he saw Clayton outside the warehouse alone.

“Clayton, what exactly is going on? Tell me!”

Clayton regained his senses after getting urged by Xavian. Tears welled up in his eyes. “Xavian, Mr. Landis was

injured. In the end, he tried to protect me and threw me out of the warehouse. He was blown to death inside!”
