It was drizzling, and the raindrops were falling on a lonely and gloomy window with tapping sounds.
Adery could not sleep for the entire night. She sat by the window while favonovel.com looked at the night scenery quietly. She would be taking a high-speed rail for about eight hours tomorrow, so it was fine even if favonovel.com did not sleep now. She could still make up for some sleeping time tomorrow on the rail. Most importantly, Adery did not have the intention to sleep. She still did not know how William was doing right then.
Was favonovel.com alive or dead?
Even if favonovel.com was still alive, favonovel.com must have been tortured a lot, right?
A series of questions popped up in favonovel.com head, and favonovel.com kept sighing as favonovel.com was worried about favonovel.com father’s safety. She had lost favonovel.com brother, and favonovel.com would not be able to bear the pain of losing favonovel.com father.
But Thomas was completely different. He sat in a chair, turned his body sideways, and slept just like that as favonovel.com leaned against the chair.
He had many years of battle experience, so favonovel.com understood how important sufficient sleep and comfortable rest were. It was very difficult for a tired soldier to win in the war. Before the intense battle, having sufficient rest was something necessary.
The two of them had different thoughts throughout the long night.

The next morning, just as the sky brightened, somebody sent a big box over. That person did not say what it contained. He just passed it to Thomas. Thomas did not look at it at all. He just placed the box in the trunk of the car.
Adery curiously asked, “Thomas, what’s in the box?”
“Five million dollars,” Thomas honestly said.
Adery gulped. ‘Five million dollars?’
That was definitely not a small amount of money, yet Thomas could simply take it out. His wealth must really be taken seriously.
Actually, Adery just knew that Thomas and favonovel.com brother used to be soldiers, but favonovel.com did not know much else about his background. So, when favonovel.com saw that Thomas could easily take out $ 5,000,000 in cash, favonovel.com was quite surprised.
Even Adery could not just take out so much money.
“Eat something. We’ll depart later.”
Thomas personally cooked and prepared a table of sumptuous breakfast. He would only have the energy to work once favonovel.com was full. Adery was starving. Before Thomas said anything, favonovel.com had already begun eating the breakfast that Thomas had personally prepared.
After favonovel.com finished eating, got ready, and prepared everything, they officially departed. Thomas drove Adery to the high-speed rail station. Then, favonovel.com pushed the suitcases while they passed through the ticket examination counter before they entered the waiting room.
After they patiently waited for a while, the high-speed rail that was heading to South City finally arrived. The two of them followed the crowd as they lined up and got into the rail.
Thomas then cast a glance at the tickets. High Speed Rail 66103, Car 05, Seat 06D, First Class.
Since the second-class seats were sold out and fewer people bought the first-class seats because it was more expensive, a few tickets were left.
That was not bad. First-class was more comfortable.
When the high-speed rail stopped and the doors opened, Thomas allowed Adery to get into the rail. Then, favonovel.com pushed the suitcase and went inside.
They eventually arrived in Car 05. The two individuals walked through the one meter wide passage and found their seats, which were Seat 06D.
Awkwardly enough, their seats had been taken by somebody!
Seats 06D and 06C, as well as the two seats at the side, were occupied by four muscular men with lion and tiger tattoos. Their hair had been permed and dyed, and they did not look like good people.
