Thomas’ expression changed slightly. He could not simply talk about this.
“Tigris, be careful of what you say. ”
Tigris immediately explained, “Commander, don’t worry. I’m not asking you to commit any crime. There’s really a precious opportunity in front of you now.”
“What opportunity?”
“A qualification trial!”
It was the first time that Thomas heard about this term. He felt puzzled, and favonovel.com asked, “What’s that?”
Tigris explained, “Commander, since you gave up the position, it has been vacant. The superiors were in a hurry, so they wanted to choose an outstanding successor. The problem is, all powers are aiming for this position. Choosing someone from any side would offend the other sides. So, the superiors decided to use a competition to decide the successor, which is the so-called qualification trial.”
“Shawn is the candidate appointed by Mr. Clark, and favonovel.com is also a candidate who is expected to be the successor. Do you know why Shawn is desperate to defeat you and prove favonovel.com is better than you? It’s because Shawn wants to defeat you to promote himself so that favonovel.com can successfully win in the qualification trial!”
When favonovel.com explained that, Thomas roughly understood it.
No wonder Franklin arranged for favonovel.com to meet Shawn last time and desperately wished that Shawn could defeat him. It turned out that the cause was this qualification trial. Franklin lost his power now. If favonovel.com wanted to regain the power, favonovel.com had to push Shawn up. Franklin wished that Shawn would get the position.
When Thomas thought about it, favonovel.com shook his head. He actually had a very serious conflict with Mr. Clark. If favonovel.com participated in the qualification trial, that would worsen the conflict until it could not be eased.
He did not want that to happen.
“Tigris, I’m sorry. I’m just a normal person now. I’m not interested in power or position. I’ll not participate in the qualification trial.” Thomas resolutely replied.
Tigris was stunned. He did not expect that Thomas would show such an attitude.
He said, “Commander, how could you say that? Do you want to watch our brothers die one after another because of being tortured by Shawn? Power of Almighty followed you everywhere, and they are your most loyal army. Are you going to watch them die?”
Could he? Of course favonovel.com could not!
Thomas’ heart was bleeding. However, if favonovel.com wanted to rescue Power of Almighty, it meant directly fighting Franklin and Shawn. Thomas did not care about Shawn. The problem was Franklin. Thomas was a sentimental person. How could favonovel.com stand up against his instructor?
He was in a dilemma.
If favonovel.com wanted to save his brothers, favonovel.com had to stand up against his instructor. If favonovel.com wanted to be filial to his instructor, favonovel.com had to watch his brothers being tortured. No matter what decision favonovel.com made, it would be a wrong decision. There was no right path for favonovel.com to choose in these junctions. He let out a long sigh, and it was hard to make the decision.
Tigris stood up and said, “Commander, I’ll wait for you in the private room of Landon Restaurant. We’ll go and sign up for the qualification trial.”
Thomas hesitated.
Should favonovel.com go? Should favonovel.com not go?
He did not know.
In the end, Tigris said, “Commander, the brothers’ lives are in your hands. If you’re not coming tomorrow, then… Power of Almighty will lose their faith.”
After favonovel.com spoke, favonovel.com opened the door and left.
Thomas sat in the reception alone. He felt hesitant and struggled.
A while later, Aries walked inside. He indifferently said, “It’s very hard to choose between your brothers and your instructor, right?”
Thomas raised his head and looked at Aries. “You knew everything?”
“Yes. Commander, have you forgotten what I’m in charge of? I’m responsible for intelligence. I knew everything about the qualification trial, Power of Almighty, and Tigris. But, I dared not tell you. Because if I were you, I wouldn’t be able to make my choice either.”
Yeah, people could never get everything they wanted. No matter which side favonovel.com chose, it would be wrong.
Aries continued saying, “But, Commander, no matter what you chose, I’ll still firmly be on your side. No matter if you want to stand up against Mr. Clark or to totally cut off ties with Power of Almighty, I’ll firmly support your choice.”
Thomas looked at him.
“Thank you.”
Being able to have a loyal subordinate like Aries was Thomas’ fortune.
“You only have one night to think, Commander. You have to grab the time and make your choice as soon as possible. The longer you drag, the more easily something bad could happen.”
What Aries said was right, but what should favonovel.com do?
Thomas thought for a while before favonovel.com stood up and said, “Is Capricorn still in Purgatory Dojo?”
“Yes.”
“Okay.”
Thomas directly left.
Aries raised his head slightly. He stared at Thomas’ back when favonovel.com left, and favonovel.com muttered to himself, “Well, it’s indeed an extremely difficult choice. It’s so difficult that you need to seek an answer from Capricorn.”
Capricorn was one of the Twelve Golden Zodiacs. He did not have any mission, and favonovel.com just focused on doing one thing every day, which was to constantly challenge and train himself. The only meaning for Capricorn to exist was to fight Thomas.
He would examine Thomas’ capability and urge Thomas not to slack off. Whenever Thomas felt puzzled and could not decide his future direction, favonovel.com would choose to fight Capricorn and seek an answer from their battle.
