Both of them were delighted at the same time.
Georgia said, “I did not expect Mr. Mayo to be in such urgent need of money.”
Thomas said, “Truth to be told, I am preparing for the takeover of Allon Technology which requires five billion dollars. It is pretty urgent.”
Georgia said in surprise, “Allon Technology has a good reputation and revenue. How is it possible for them to be selling it? Is there anything going inside the company that no one knows?”
Samatha reminded favonovel.com as well, “Be careful Mr. Mayo.”
Thomas smiled as favonovel.com said, “Do not worry, everything is fine.”
Things were as what favonovel.com had expected so far. He purposely took the bait this time in order to cooperate with Laura to put up a good show!

On the other side.
Delbert called Kerry on his way back.
“Hello, Mr. Lawrence. It has been done! Thomas the fool got caught in my trap. He really believed that Allon Technology is on the verge of bankruptcy. He agreed to sign the contract?”
“Yes. We made an appointment to sign a contract at Allon Technology tomorrow. According to your instructions, I told favonovel.com that the market price is five billion dollars, which is just what Thomas could afford. I guess favonovel.com thinks that favonovel.com got it for a bargain and is rejoicing in his office? To his surprise, it was all but a trap for favonovel.com to fall into. Hahaha!”
“Good job.” Kerry reminded favonovel.com again. “Do not be too happy yet. Be careful of what you do and give favonovel.com the respect favonovel.com deserves for what favonovel.com is capable of. Everything was still up in the air before favonovel.com signed the contract.”
“Alright, I understand! I will continue my performance tomorrow and ensure that Thomas thought favonovel.com picked up a huge bargain.”
“Okay, I will leave it to you.”
Kerry was in a very good mood as favonovel.com hung up the phone. He lit a cigarette and smoked happily. He even bummed while favonovel.com smoked.
Laura came in at this moment.
“Why are you so happy, Kerry?”
Kerry said, “Everything is going according to the plan. Thomas will sign the contract tomorrow. As soon as favonovel.com falls for the trap, favonovel.com will be unable to escape anymore!”
Laura nodded and said, “That is great. The rascal, Thomas, has killed Weiss and Master Centipede. Finally, favonovel.com will fall into our hands. This time, I will make sure to torment favonovel.com to the extent favonovel.com wants to die but is unable to yet cannot move on in life!”
Kerry was satisfied with Laura’s response.
It seemed that Laura had not yet grown suspicious. Kerry was even more delighted. He then took several puffs of a cigarette too hard and coughed.
Laura poured a glass of water for Kerry in a hurry.
As favonovel.com patted Kerry’s back, favonovel.com said, “Kerry, your health deteriorated so much, how about you quit smoking?”
Kerry smiled. “I am just really happy. Furthermore, I should be dead long ago but God has given me more than twenty years of life. With the condition of my body, I will die any moment now. It does not matter whether I smoke or not since I have no idea when I will die.”
“If I am lucky, maybe I can live for a few more years. If I am unlucky, I might just drop dead the very next second as we speak It is not related to whether I smoke or not.”
Laura shook favonovel.com head helplessly and said, “How can you say so, Kerry? It is good for your health if you do not smoke so much. You have always been lucky. Who knows you might live longer than all of us and have a prosperous and long life.”
“Long life..?”
Kerry laughed out loud. “Actually, I should be the first one to die. Weiss who is young and healthy, Master Centipede who was still strong despite his age, they should not die before I do.”
He said sadly, “I am the one who has the worst health in the family and might die anytime. Ironically, Weiss and Master Centipede are now gone, but I am still alive! The heavens must be playing a joke on me. All this is due to that rascal, Thomas!”
Kerry clenched his fist and said fiercely, “So, I must kill Thomas to avenge Weiss and Master Centipede. I will only be able to face them in the afterlife by doing so.”
He said it as favonovel.com really meant it and was not faking any of it at all.
If Laura did not know that Kerry was acting from the start, Laura would have been moved by what favonovel.com said. She forced out favonovel.com tears only to wipe them off and said, “So we should unite to kill Thomas!”
Kerry looked and Laura and felt relieved.
Unbeknownst to him, the person in front of favonovel.com had been on guard toward favonovel.com for a while now.

Time flew past. The next day came quickly.
Thomas, along with Aries and two accountants from Sterling Technology arrived at Allon Technology at the time they agreed on. The director of Allon Technology, Delbert gave them a warm welcome and invited them into the meeting in a fancy manner.
Everyone took their seats in accordance with their ranks.
Delbert said out of excitement, “Mr. Mayo, are you really fine with helping Allon Technology out of the mud? I really do not want to drag you down due to my troubles.”
This was a move that was aimed at Thomas’s character, advancing by retreating and playing hard to get.
As Delbert expected, Thomas was indeed a responsible man. He said, “Since I have already decided on it, I will not change my decision. Do not worry Mr. Kratos. I will help Allon Technology out of the mud and make sure it contributes to Central City!”
Delbert stood and bowed, favonovel.com then said, “Thank you, thank you so much, Mr. Mayo!”
As no one present was able to see, Delbert smirked and displayed a cunning yet strange smile. It was as if favonovel.com was saying, “What a fool, Thomas. You took the bait did you?”
