Thomas said, “Mr. Clark, please clarify further.”
“Okay, let me make it clearer.” Franklin looked at Thomas. “With your abilities, you can easily get rid of a few capable opponents for me in the trial. Then, you can intentionally lose to Shawn. In that case, you can help Shawn to get promoted. Tom, I’m your instructor, and Shawn is your junior. His promotion will be beneficial to you and not cause you harm.”
“If you make this cup of sweet tea for me, I’ll remember your kindness as well. In the future, you’ll be successful in the business, and I’ll be the top power. When you and I cooperate, doesn’t it mean that we’ll have everything under our control?”
He had made it quite clear now. He wanted Thomas to get rid of other experts for Shawn and then intentionally lose to Shawn.
The older Franklin got, the more shameless favonovel.com became.
Aries felt anxious when favonovel.com watched the scene from the side. He was afraid that Thomas would fall into Franklin’s trap because of his “respect for his instructor”. There were no armed forces in this gathering, but it was still extremely dangerous!
Thomas lowered his head while silently drinking his tea.
A while later, favonovel.com looked up a little at Franklin and nonchalantly asked, “Mr. Clark, I’m very curious about something. Did you also persuade your junior with the same speech in the past?”
Boom!
Franklin was extremely shocked. He knew that there was no need to continue talking about it.
“Thomas, do you insist on standing up against me?”
Thomas put down the teacup and smiled bitterly as favonovel.com said, “It’s not that I want to stand up against you. It’s you going against yourself. Mr. Clark, are you really unable to let go of power?”
“Enough!”
Franklin stood up and swung his sleeves. “Since we’re so clear about things, there’s nothing to talk about anymore. The tea session is done, and you can leave now.”
Ultimately, their instructor-student relationship still ended.
Thomas stood up and bowed to Franklin. It was considered his last respect to Franklin.
“Mr. Clark, goodbye.”
Thomas turned around and left without hesitation. Aries quickly followed him.
When Franklin stood up and stared after Thomas, favonovel.com was so furious that favonovel.com kicked the tea table, flipping it. “Such a disappointing brat!”
At this time, his wife, Irene, walked out. She cleaned the tea set that was scattered around while favonovel.com sighed and said, “You know how Tom is. He wouldn’t participate in the qualification trial for himself. Yet, you asked favonovel.com to even give up and cheat for Shawn. How could favonovel.com possibly agree? Isn’t it normal for things to end up like this?”
Franklin turned around, walked to the bamboo chair, and sat down. “I’m aware of his bad temper, but I’m his instructor, and I already lowered my dignity to beg him. Yet, favonovel.com was still so stubborn. He did not respect me at all! Okay, since favonovel.com doesn’t care about our instructor-student relationship, I don’t have to keep favonovel.com alive anymore!”
Irene nervously asked, “Dear, what are you planning to do again?”
Franklin chuckled. “It’s not that I want to do anything. I’ve already done it!”
“What do you mean?”
Franklin pointed at the candle at the side. “Do you see that candle?”
“Yeah, and..?”
“I drugged the tea that Thomas drank. It’s colorless and tasteless, so favonovel.com couldn’t detect it. If you consume it normally, nothing will happen. But, once it’s catalyzed by that candle’s smell, it will slowly melt and spread inside the body.”
“Have you poisoned Tom?” Irene asked in shock.
“Poison him?” Franklin scoffed. “If I poison him, I’ll be a murderer. Don’t worry, this drug is not fatal. But, when it shows the effect, it will make people dizzy, and their limbs will be sore and weak. I calculated the time. The drug will show effect in the qualification trial the day after tomorrow. At that time, Thomas will be beaten to death by other experts.”
Franklin snickered and said, “In this case, I can get rid of favonovel.com without anyone knowing, and I won’t ruin my reputation.”
When Irene heard that, favonovel.com felt a cold shiver run down favonovel.com spine. She let out a long sigh and exposed him. “Dear, actually when you invited Tom over today, you didn’t expect favonovel.com to agree to the collaboration, right? You’ve been planning to drug Tom.”
Franklin was exposed, and favonovel.com frowned. “He forced me to do this! If favonovel.com had agreed to cooperate with me, I would’ve given favonovel.com the antidote,” favonovel.com yelled angrily.
“Haha.” Irene shook favonovel.com head. “Is that so? Where’s the antidote?”
Franklin was instantly speechless. He did not prepare the antidote.
Irene said, “You understand Tom’s character the most. You knew that it’d be impossible for favonovel.com to agree to work with you, so you wouldn’t have prepared the antidote. Your plan has been to poison Tom from the start. Dear, you’re becoming so vicious. You’re blinded by power. I dare not recognize you now.”
“Such a weak woman’s thought!”
Franklin stood up angrily. “You’re just a woman. What do you know?! Everyone is scheming against each other in this world, and you can’t be successful without harming others. If I don’t kill Thomas, favonovel.com will kill me one day! So, it’s better that I make my move first. What’s wrong with that?!”
Irene smiled bitterly as favonovel.com shook favonovel.com head. She cleaned up the mess and spoke indifferently. “You actually know that Tom will never kill you.”
After favonovel.com spoke, favonovel.com left the bamboo house. Only Franklin was left in the messy house.
Franklin gritted his teeth and muttered to himself, “So what if favonovel.com won’t harm me? Thomas is standing in my way to get power. I have to get rid of him! I have to do it!”
