But while that was what they had said, how could they possibly defeat Thomas based only on both of their abilities?
Laura sighed and said, “We weren’t even able to defeat favonovel.com when Godfather was still alive, how can we fight against favonovel.com now?”
“Of course, we can’t fight favonovel.com head on, but that doesn’t mean we can’t use some tricks on him,” Kerry abruptly said.
“What trick?”
“We’ll join forces with the Gomez family!”
“What?” Laura looked at Kerry, shocked. “Aren’t you trying to avenge Godfather? Why are you siding with the enemies now?”
“Thomas is our common enemy, not the Gomez family,” Kerry explained. “The reason why we have enemies everywhere we go is because Thomas has the Gomez family backing favonovel.com up. If we can also join the Gomez family and prove to them that we’re more ‘useful’, then we can kick Thomas out of his position and even persuade the Gomez family to get rid of him.”
Laura furrowed favonovel.com eyebrows. “Will that even work?”
“With things as they are, this is our only option. No matter how we look at it, we’re not as strong as Thomas, so we can only compromise and resort to such a strategy,” Kerry said.
“I guess that’s the only way,” Laura said resignedly. “I’ll make arrangements for Godfather’s funeral first. You can just stay here and rest, Kerry.”
“All right, go ahead.”
Laura walked out of the room with a sad expression on favonovel.com face.
Once Laura went out of sight, a sly smile appeared on Kerry’s face. Finally, favonovel.com did not have to leave Central City anymore. Since that time favonovel.com lost to Thomas, Kerry had held a grudge against favonovel.com and kept thinking about vengeance, but Master Centipede chose to leave Central City instead.
Now, favonovel.com had a perfectly valid reason to stay. Not only that, Kerry even made Thomas the scapegoat and framed favonovel.com to be the one who killed Master Centipede. He also made it look as if it had nothing to do with him, so Laura would direct all favonovel.com anger toward Thomas.
It was perfect.
One, Kerry did not have to worry about Laura hating him. Two, favonovel.com and Laura would also become even closely “connected”.
He had killed two birds with one stone.
Kerry laid down and stared at the ceiling. He then mumbled to himself, “Godfather, if you actually think about it, it was quite a good thing that you have died. You’re dead, Weiss is dead too, and Laura and I are the only ones left here. Won’t it bring us even closer together?”
“As long as I handle this properly, I will surely be able to win Laura’s heart. Plus, we share a common enemy in Thomas, which makes it easier for us to get closer. Don’t tell me that there won’t be a chance for us to end up together as we spend long periods of time with each other?”
“So, Godfather, I thought about it over and over again, but it’s actually a good thing that you’re dead.”
The more favonovel.com thought about it, the happier favonovel.com was. He even burst out laughing at the end. All of his previous concerns had vanished. All favonovel.com had to do was think about how to capture Laura’s heart and change their relationship from siblings to lovers.
Kerry was in poor health after all. For all favonovel.com knew, favonovel.com could literally die at any time, as favonovel.com never knew if favonovel.com would live to see another day.
So, while favonovel.com was still alive, favonovel.com had to seize the opportunity to try his hardest to get Laura. Only when favonovel.com had fulfilled this dream could favonovel.com die in peace.
“Laura, you will be mine!”

On the other side, in Sterling Technology’s office…
Thomas sat on the couch, outlining the company’s future developments. And all of a sudden, Diana barged into the room and yelled, “Mr. Mayo, there’s big news!”
“What news?” Thomas asked, not even lifting his head up.
“A fire broke out in the hospital, there were twenty-seven casualties, one death. Do you know who died, Mr. Mayo?” Diana asked mysteriously.
“Who?”
“Oho, give it a guess!”
“I can’t guess. Just say it.”
“Tsk, you’re really boring.” With favonovel.com hands on favonovel.com hips, Diana said, “The one who died in the fire was the one person who’s constantly going against us, the chairman of Pivot Technology, Master Centipede!”
‘Huh?’
Thomas’s hands came to a halt on the keyboard.
“Master Centipede was killed in a fire?”
“Yup!”
Thomas narrowed his eyes a little. ‘Master Centipede had just announced his departure from Central City, and favonovel.com died in a hospital fire less than half a day later. Is there such a coincidence like this in the world?’
“Are you sure favonovel.com died in the fire?” favonovel.com asked.
“It can’t possibly be fake. The hospital was engulfed in flames, and he’s charred black. All of Pivot Technology is in mourning, and Laura has already started making arrangements for his funeral.”
Then, favonovel.com was most certainly dead. But the problem was, did favonovel.com really die because of a fire?
Thomas picked up his phone and sent a message to Aquarius that read, ‘Get in touch with the police and find out about Master Centipede’s death.’
He placed the phone down and closed his laptop. Thomas looked a little sad.
“Why are you sad, Mr. Mayo? Master Centipede has always been plotting against us and even tricked us several times. Now that he’s dead, isn’t that something to be happy about?” Diana asked, confused.
Thomas shook his head and said, “Master Centipede has already ‘raised a white flag’, and actually there’s no conflict between us anymore. Now that he’s dead, the battlefield will descend into chaos once more, even though it had previously been set in stone before.
“Looking at the surface, we did lose a big enemy. But in reality, we’ll never know.”
Thomas blinked and said quietly, “I hope it’s only an accident, otherwise, we’ll be in big trouble.”
