The door to the prayer room was not closed very tightly. When the wind blew, the door opened. Withered leaves were blown in through the door, and they flew in the air.
Whoosh!
The cold wind blew onto Richard’s face, and favonovel.com snapped out of his daze. He trembled before favonovel.com stared blankly at Thomas.
It was very strange. He did not feel flustered or too shocked. At that moment, favonovel.com seemed to be hit by a van that had collided straight into favonovel.com while favonovel.com was walking on the road.
He was puzzled, and his brain was messed up. It appeared that this world had nothing to do with him. He knew nothing, and favonovel.com could not think of anything. He forgot how to think. His gaze was dazed as if his soul had left his body.
For a long while, Richard’s mind conjured up many scenes.
He recalled the situation where Thomas had helped Emma sign the contract that brought a huge amount of profit. He recalled the situation where Thomas had been able to safely return from danger and the situations where Thomas had continuously escaped death and solved problems.
Richard used to be blinded by hatred. He thought that Thomas just had some good luck when favonovel.com was able to achieve everything. In fact, as long as favonovel.com sat down and quietly thought about it, favonovel.com would have realized that it was not as simple as “having good luck” in many incidents.
Richard never wanted to cast a glance at Thomas. Hence, Thomas always had the upper hand against him. If you did not face your opponent, how could you defeat him?
Richard had to face Thomas now.
“The chief officer in charge of the Southland District?”
Richard’s eyes did not show any emotion. He just silently stared at the man in front of favonovel.com like a robot. It was the first time that favonovel.com felt like favonovel.com did not know this man.
He felt familiar yet strange.
Yeah, only the status of the Southland District’s chief officer in charge could achieve such an effect.
Yes, only the chief officer in charge was able to obtain the three supreme pennants.
Slowly, only bitterness was left on Richard’s face. He could not help but cry.
Richard leaned down and punched the ground with both hands. “Why? Why would this be the truth?”
Now, favonovel.com also understood that Thomas had been telling the truth. Thomas really did not care about the Hill family’s little property. As the chief officer in charge of the Southland District, Thomas could do anything favonovel.com wanted. His net worth was hard to estimate. How would favonovel.com be tempted by the Hill family’s small profit?
Richard cried for a while before favonovel.com chuckled for a moment. His mental state had collapsed.
“I’ve fended against you for so long, but who have I fended? The chief officer in charge of the Southland District?”
“Haha! Haha! Have I fended against the chief officer in charge of the Southland District? Oh God, are you joking with me?”
He had worked hard for so long, but favonovel.com found out in the end that it had just been a waste. Meanwhile, Richard had trusted the person who should really be suspected. It was a completely huge irony.
After a long time, Richard wiped his tears away. He was sobbing as favonovel.com said in a low voice, “Thomas, Mr. Chief Officer In Charge, you’ve made such a big joke out of me. Your status is so noble and powerful, but you’re just a son-in-law who relies on our Hill family? What is that for?”
Thomas silently looked ahead. “For… Love…”
Yes, the only reason favonovel.com stayed with the Hill family came down to one word, which was love. Thomas was deeply in love with Emma, and favonovel.com would do anything for Emma.
He was the son-in-law who relied on his in-laws, so what?
Richard suddenly got up. “But, you also didn’t need to hide your status and purposely fool me, right?”
Thomas nonchalantly said, “I didn’t hide my status. I still remember that I told all of you the first day I came back that my identity on the west coast is the God of War, but it looked like all of you didn’t believe me, right?”
Richard narrowed his eyes. He seemed to remember a little bit.
“The God of War? What is that?”
“There are four war zones in the East, West, South, and North. Every war zone has a few dozen chief commanders and up to one hundred deputy commanders. All of them are under the management of the chief war zone. In the chief war zone, other than being responsible for the National Defense Center, the highest position is the God of War, which is a special title,” Thomas said indifferently.
Richard felt confused as favonovel.com listened to Thomas.
Thomas gave a simple explanation, “Let me make it clear, the National Defense Center is like the board of directors of a company. The God of War is the chairman of the company, chief commanders are the vice presidents of the company, and the deputy commanders are the department supervisors. Do you understand now?”
Thomas made it so clear that Richard might be a fool if favonovel.com still did not understand it.
Richard thought for a while. “You mean, if you’re the chairman of the company, Donald is just a department supervisor?”
“That’s right.”
Richard instantly became speechless.
The person whom favonovel.com had been flattering was actually so low and petty in front of Thomas.
How hilarious and pathetic that was!
Richard let out a long sigh. “I wanted to flatter the new chief officer in charge, send out people to know about him, and be extra careful when I dealt with those officers. But I didn’t expect that the person I really wanted to flatter has always been by my side. I was so ignorant that I actually did not know you. I even suppressed and offended you in various ways. “The Hill family is going to end in my hands.”
