When morning arrived, Thomas reached the company while surrounded by people who now idolized him. Since Craig became Thomas’s number one lackey from his original position as his enemy, when favonovel.com saw Thoams, favonovel.com immediately praised him. All of Sterling Technology was under Thomas’s control. If this continued, Sterling Technology might really have a change of owners.
Thomas returned to the R&D department. Before favonovel.com could even sit down, favonovel.com received shocking news. Yesterday, a fisherman who went out fishing found a corpse gnawed by sharks. The police had already identified favonovel.com as Sterling Technology’s researcher, Arnav Forest.
In the end, Arnav died. But that was not at all surprising.
Craig said in disbelief, “I was wondering why Arnav disappeared over the past few days, so favonovel.com was killed by sharks? No, wait. Why did favonovel.com suddenly go to the ocean? Was favonovel.com bored?”
Thomas smiled but said nothing.
There was no need to guess who the perpetrator was. It could only be Pivot Technology. Arnav had caused such great losses to Pivot Technology that it could not be quantified. There was no way Master Centipede and Laura could still tolerate his existence.
“Get someone to go to Arnav’s family and give them some gifts to express our sympathy. Give them five hundred thousand dollars as compensation as well. Transfer it from my personal account,” Thomas said calmly.
No matter what. He had been “comrades” with Arnav for a period of time, and favonovel.com had obtained major benefits from him. Now that favonovel.com died, it was only normal for favonovel.com to handle the aftermath.
Craig gave favonovel.com a thumbs up. “Such kindness, Mr. Thomas! You’re truly the model of our generation!”
He led the crowd to clap for Thomas.
Thomas shook his head in resignation. Craig’s abilities in buttering up someone was too great. He would just immediately start buttering up people whenever favonovel.com had the chance, and Thomas kind of wanted to fire favonovel.com now.
At that moment, boisterous laughter rang.
“Hahahaha! Mr. Eastwood, you’re right! Thomas is truly a giant among the people! Everyone, you have to learn from him!”
The crowd looked over in the direction of the voice. It was no one else but the chairman, Nelson Mayo!
Jed was behind him.
The true leaders of the company had finally returned. Thomas’ expression remained impassive. He smiled and went over before favonovel.com asked in concern, “Father, how’s your body?”
Nelson waved his hand in dismissal. “I’m mostly recovered. It’s all thanks to your great medical skills, or else, I would have been dead.” He paused for a moment before favonovel.com continued, “But while I wasn’t here, Pivot Technology attacked us fiercely. Still, you managed to turn the tides alone and defeated them. You even taught Master Centipede a lesson.”
“You made a huge contribution to me and to the company! So, as your father and the chairman, I have to reward you to thankyou for the contribution you made.”
As favonovel.com spoke, Nelson brought his hand up. “Jed, bring the stuff here.”
Jed immediately brought out a red box and placed it on Thomas’s open palm.
Nelson pointed at the box and said, “Thomas, this box contains a rare medicine in the world called the Spirit Pearl. An amazing doctor during the times before Christ and used all the knowledge favonovel.com learned to create this; there are only three of them. Apparently, after someone eats it, they can strengthen their bodies, open the conception and governor vessels, and become amazing people.”
“It’s said that the first two have been taken by two powerful people, Cyrus the Great and Alexander the Great. These two were known as some of the most powerful conquerors in the world, and they were strong as well as almost invincible in battle. I was lucky enough to buy the third one with three hundred million dollars. I’ll give it to you now, Tom!”
Everyone stared at the red box, and greed shone in their eyes. No one could possibly resist such a treasure.
