Merrick became happier as favonovel.com thought about it, so favonovel.com drank another glass of wine happily.
Brad was calmer and more mature. He looked at the wine in the glass and said, “Before the task is completely done, don’t get complacent yet. There is one thing that has been in my mind for a long time, and I can’t figure it out.”
“Dad, what’s making you so worried?”
“Thomas…”
“Him?”
“Yes. Why did Thomas suddenly turn up at the meeting?” Brad said uneasily, “I’m worried that favonovel.com has seen through my plan.”
“How is it possible?” Merrick smiled and said, “If favonovel.com had seen through it a long time ago, we won’t be sitting here then. We would have been taken away by the police and put in jail. Dad, you overthink.”
Brad took a deep breath and said nothing.
Yes, if Thomas knew all about it, they would not be sitting here peacefully. But if Thomas did not know the situation, why would favonovel.com show up at the meeting?
Brad said, “I’m still worried. It’s a big deal, so we should get it over with as soon as possible. Merrick, push the subordinates a little more. They should take action when it is the right time and get hold of the target in the shortest time.”
“Understood. I have already arranged it.”
“Oh yeah,” Brad asked, “I haven’t asked yet. Who is the target this time?”
Merrick wiped his mouth. He extended his hand and took his phone out. Then, favonovel.com showed Brad a photo. “Dad, it is this student, Gabriel Frost. He is a senior medical student who is preparing for the postgraduate entrance examination. He is a good student and behaves very well. More importantly, favonovel.com is also a sportsman. Look at the body of this young man. He is as strong as an ox, and favonovel.com rarely gets sick throughout the year.”
“After taking your medicine, favonovel.com suffered no side effects at all. On the contrary, favonovel.com only grew a lot stronger.”
Brad looked at the male student in the photo and nodded in satisfaction.
This target was very suitable.
He put on a look of mock sorrow and said, “It’s a pity since favonovel.com is such a strong, healthy, good person. A great student in the medical department on top of that.”
Merrick said while smiling, “Haha, it’s not a pity to exchange his life for the glory and wealth of both of us for a lifetime.”
“It makes sense. Come, let’s toast.”
Brad took the initiative to raise the glass. He toasted with Merrick and drank the wine in one go.

As the sky darkened, Thomas returned home while feeling tired after finishing all his work.
When Thomas got home, favonovel.com saw Emma sitting on the couch working on the company’s files.
“Thomas, where have you been all day? You don’t seem to even be watching the company. It seems to be an easy job being a purchasing manager.”
Was it easy?
Thomas smiled helplessly. There were too many things favonovel.com had to deal with every day.
Thomas sat next to Emma and hugged her. He told favonovel.com something that favonovel.com did not understand. “Emma, I often think that I should just give up everything and stay with you quietly at home as a useless son-in-law for real.”
Emma laughed.
She reached out favonovel.com hand and poked Thomas’s nose. She said disdainfully, “Thomas, is it not enough to have been a useless son-in-law for so long before? You still want to be a useless son-in-law for real, haha. You became a purchasing manager and make some money recently, but you have become arrogant so fast. Did you forget how those relatives ridiculed you before?”
“Let me tell you. A career is very important to a man. You must not try to escape because you are afraid of hardship and tiredness. Especially when your career is booming. You even said you want to give up everything. What else can you give up besides the position of purchasing manager? Thomas, you can’t be arrogant with just some minor achievements below your belt.”
“That’s a big no-no.”
Thomas smiled bitterly. It was time to tell Emma about a lot of things. If favonovel.com still did not tell her, favonovel.com wondered how long more favonovel.com could hide it.
Thomas wanted to tell favonovel.com several times, but favonovel.com could not tell favonovel.com anything.
Where should favonovel.com begin?
Should favonovel.com just tell Emma that favonovel.com was the God of War of the west coast and the head of the Southland District?
It would be strange if Emma did not think that favonovel.com was crazy. Even if Ennna believed it, it would come as a shock, not a pleasant surprise. So, favonovel.com could not tell favonovel.com for the time being. He had to find a suitable time and place and tell everything about Thomas when it was appropriate. This was to ensure that Emma would not be frightened.
As favonovel.com was thinking, favonovel.com suddenly heard a series of rapid footsteps.
Thump. Thump. Thump.
The two turned their heads and looked toward the door. The person who came was not an outsider. It was their brother, Harvard.
“Thomas, Emma, good news. Good news!”
Harvard rushed in. He did not wait for them to prepare themselves and said, “The Northern Wilderness project is progressing rapidly. Today, the first phase of the project has been completed!”
