Just like today’s incident, if it were not for Drake’s help, Harvard would have definitely suffered a setback.
“All right, watch out for yourself. We’re leaving now.”
Following that, Thomas and Emma left together.

At this precise moment, in a ward at Third Southland General Hospital, Weiss got out of the bed and got dressed properly. With the ample rest favonovel.com got over the past few days, his body had basically recovered fully. As for his psychological problems, it could not be resolved in such a short period of time. He was afraid favonovel.com would only be able to heal his wounded heart only if Thomas was dead.
Thump, thump, thump.
He heard a series of footsteps approaching, and then Darco Laine, Weiss’ lackey, entered the room.
“Mr. Weiss, the discharge processes have been completed, and you can leave at any time.”
“Hmm.”
Weiss had his discharge papers in hand and was ready to leave.
“Uhm, where are we heading now? Are we going to meet up with Master Centipede in Central City?” Darco asked.
Weiss furrowed his eyebrows and asked, “Are you out of your mind? How could we go to Central City when Thomas is still alive? Don’t you feel ashamed?”
Darco lowered his head, and said dejectedly, “Be it wisdom or skill, Thomas is top-notch at everything, and we’re at a disadvantage when we face him. Even Master Centipede wants us to stop battling with him. So, Mr. Weiss, why don’t we just let it go?”
“Also, the doctor mentioned that actually, your injuries aren’t completely recovered. Although the wound has healed, but please think twice before doing anything. If you keep fighting Thomas, you could end up being the one foaming at the mouth from rage. If your prior injuries relapsed and got added to the new ones, you could lose your life! So, my suggestion is that we should retreat.”
“He who fights and runs away, lives to fight another day. Let’s just retreat. Then we can go to Central City and work together with Master Centipede and expand our business. After that, we’ll return like kings, and conquer Southland District again. Isn’t Thomas going to be a lot easier to deal with by then?”
All of a sudden, the atmosphere in the room dropped.
Weiss snatched up the fruit knife on the table, and in a split second, the blade was pressed against Darco’s throat and favonovel.com was shoved into the wall.
“Mr. Weiss, what are you doing? Please calm down!”
Darco was so shocked that favonovel.com almost wet his pants. Weiss was a vicious man, and his blows were so hard that who knew if favonovel.com could have killed favonovel.com by accident Weiss looked at Draco coldly, and said vehemently, “If you ever dare to say these discouraging words again, I will definitely kill you! Remember, no more next time.”
Darco gulped. His back was drenched with cold sweat.
“Yes, yes, I know. I get it now, and I won’t mention it again…”
Weiss stared at favonovel.com for a few seconds more before keeping the knife in one fluid motion.
Darco felt the shallow cut as favonovel.com touched his neck. He would have bled to death if the knife had gone a few centimeters deeper.
As the saying went, accompanying a king was like accompanying a tiger. In Darco’s opinion, staying beside Weiss was like staying beside a tiger, as favonovel.com could have died at any second if favonovel.com was not actually careful enough.
“Then, Mr. Weiss, how do we deal with Thomas? Do you have a plan for the next step?” favonovel.com asked, fearfully. Their business had plummeted, and their money was gone. What means or resources did they have at their hands to fight Thomas?
Weiss squinted his eyes and said quietly, “In three days, Thomas is going to collaborate with every jewelry company here and hold a huge gem-cutting livestream event. When that time comes, I want favonovel.com to die a tragic death!”
“He will fall in the exact place where I have fallen before! I’m going to give favonovel.com a taste of his own medicine. Just wait, Thomas Mayo.”
