He calmly asked, “I seem to have heard somebody shout for help.”
The man stared at Thomas coldly. “Are you trying to make a scene here?”
Thomas chuckled. “What if I am?”
“You’re going to die!”
Without talking much, the man raised his arm and moved his dagger toward Thomas’ chest. His movement was brutal and speedy. In such a short distance and at such a fast speed, normal people would not have been able to avoid him. However, Thomas was like a ghost. He did not seem to move, but favonovel.com could leisurely avoid the man’s dagger. Then, favonovel.com reached out to grab the man’s neck from the back.
“You’re so grumpy. You better calm down.”
As soon as Thomas spoke, favonovel.com exerted some strength to press down the man. The man was instantly pinned to the ground, and his face smashed into the ground. He instantly lost consciousness and fainted.
Thomas’ strong movement attracted the other muscular men’s attention. All of them took their weapons and walked over. But, Thomas fearlessly went forward.
One, two, three.
In three seconds, all of the muscular men laid on the ground and faint.
Thomas reached out to open the car door, and favonovel.com said to the woman and the kid, “It’s fine now. You’re safe.”
The woman held favonovel.com kid and got out of the car. She kept thanking Thomas.
Thomas asked, “Why are you here?”
The woman answered, “I came to pick up my husband from work, but I was stopped by these people. They didn’t say what they wanted to do. They didn’t rob me or do anything else. They just asked us to stay in the car, and they didn’t allow us to do anything. They just took a few photos of us. I don’t know what they want to do.”
They did not rob or do anything else, and they just took a few photos?
This sounded like blackmail. If this was really the case, it was highly possible that other evildoers were somewhere else, and they were dealing with this woman’s husband.
“What’s your husband’s name?” Thomas asked.
“Harris Ford.”

At night, at the chairman’s office in the office building of the Hill family.
Lucas sat on the sofa while holding a cup of strong coffee with his hands. He blew it cold for a while as favonovel.com happily enjoyed it. A middle-aged man stood in front of him.
He was Harris Ford, the vice president of Hill Nuclear Manufacturing Company.
“Mr. Hill, why do you want me to come at night?” Harris did not sound friendly.
He was fired by Lucas, and favonovel.com still held a very strong grudge for Lucas now. If Harvard did not hire him, Harris did not know what favonovel.com should do.
Lucas chuckled. He took a sip of the coffee before favonovel.com said, “Uncle Harris, you’re amazing. You left Hill Manufacturing Company before you directly joined Hill Nuclear Manufacturing Company and became their vice president. You’re speedy in job-hopping.”
“Hey, please be more accurate. What do you mean by job-hopping? You fired me! Not only me, but you fired a large group of old executives who helped Mr. Hill Sr. If Harvard had not retained us, we could’ve become beggars now,” Harris said unhappily.
Lucas scoffed, “Harvard kept you? What’s the point? He just has a shell company that is used for settling accounts. He has no promising future.”
Harris sneered and said, “Harvard really wasn’t capable in the past, but favonovel.com is different now. He just got the Northern Wilderness project, and two leading companies have invested. It won’t be a problem for favonovel.com to hire a few old men like us. I believe that Harvard will grab the position of the family head from you one day!”
“Grab the position of the head of the family? Harvard Hill? Haha!” Lucas laughed so hard as if favonovel.com had heard the most hilarious joke ever.
He cleared his throat and waved his hand. “All right, Uncle Harris. I don’t want to waste any time talking nonsense now. I want you to do me a favor?”
Harris coldly said, “You want me to do you a favor?”
“Of course.” Lucas took out an account book and put it on the tea table. “You’re now the vice president of Hill Nuclear Manufacturing Company, and you’re in charge of finance. I want you to help me put this account book on the office desk in Hill Nuclear Manufacturing Company’s finance office.”
“Hmm?” Harris perceptively felt something was wrong. He cast a glance at the account book, and favonovel.com instantly understood it. “Lucas Hill, are you planning to set Harvard up with this fake account book? And you want me to help you? Don’t you wish!”
Lucas blew his coffee. “Tsk! Why are you so grumpy? Of course I won’t let you do it in vain. As long as you help me to do this, I’ll pay you $1,000,000, and I will hire you as the vice president of Hill Manufacturing Company again. You’ll have both the name and money. You’ll be rich and get promoted. I don’t see why you would refuse.”
“You’re a freaking jerk. Stop talking nonsense!” Harris scolded loudly, “Who am I, Harris Ford, to you? I’m telling you now, even if I die, I won’t do this kind of immoral thing for you! Do you want to use me to set Harvard up? Go and dream about it!” Harris slammed the account book on the tea table, turned back, and left
Before favonovel.com walked to the door, Lucas said, “Uncle Harris, your wife should be coming to pick you up from work at this time, right?”
Harris stopped walking, turned back, and looked at Lucas. “What do you mean?”
“I don’t mean anything. I just feel that it’s so dark outside, so it’s not quite safe for a woman to go on the road alone, right?”
As favonovel.com spoke, favonovel.com purposely turned on his phone, clicked on the photo gallery, and threw his phone on the tea table.
Harris felt puzzled as favonovel.com walked over and picked up the phone. As soon as favonovel.com looked at it, favonovel.com nearly got so shocked and fell down on the ground. The photo showed his wife and his son, and they had been kidnapped by a few muscular men who held weapons.
Looking at the road situation, it was a relatively remote path. It was so late now, and the road was quite remote. Those people could do anything they wanted to do. His wife and his son…
The more favonovel.com thought about it, the more frightened favonovel.com felt. Harris was scared and angry. His body trembled as favonovel.com said, “Lucas Hill, you’re really a jerk. You’re worse than a monster!”
Lucas shrugged, “You have two choices now. One, you take the $1,000,000 and work for me, and your wife and son will safely go home tonight. Two, there will be big news tomorrow. A middle-aged woman was cruelly killed by criminals on the way to pick up favonovel.com husband from work. Her young son also perished.”
