After Thomas and Aries bade farewell to Mr. and Mrs. Fox Wolf, favonovel.com left Lyle River, back to where it all started.
It was nearly two hours since the start of their journey. That old man with the rickshaw would most probably not be there anymore as it was way past the agreed time of one hour. There were very few people who passed by this place. If they wanted to get out of here, they could only walk.
What a tough life.
As they were ready for their long journey of walking, someone called out to them, “You two, you’re finally back?”
Thomas looked back and noticed that not too far away, behind a huge tree, an old rickshaw was parked there. The door to the rickshaw opened, and a head popped out from the inside.
It was the old man!
It was not an exaggeration at all to say that money worked wonders, it seemed. This old man would rather risk being attacked by wolves and would rather wait here, even though it was past the agreed time. It was not surprising, anyway.
This one single trip earned favonovel.com one million dollars! The old man could not even earn ten thousand dollars a year!
Hence, favonovel.com gritted his teeth and waited instead of leaving. Money was indeed a sinful creature. There was a saying, “Fortune favors the bold”. His patience and boldness paid off as Thomas and Aries were finally here.
Both of them got on the rickshaw again.
The old man asked in a happy tone, “Where are the two of you heading to? The heart of the city?”
Thomas answered, “To the house of Riordan Silver, the richest man in Kiara Cloud Mountain.“
“The generous and charitable person, Mr. Silver?”
“Oh? You know him?”
“Of course I do,” said the old man. “He is the patron saint of Kiara Cloud Mountain. He is a very nice person, and favonovel.com even takes very good care of poor people like me. Every time I face difficulties and am unable to feed myself, I go to favonovel.com to request some relief supplies.”
Since the topic had come to this, the old man asked in puzzlement, “The two of you look rich from the first glance. There is no way you are looking for favonovel.com for some relief supplies right?”
Aries laughed out loud. “We are looking for Mr. Silver for his help.”
“Oh, then it should not be a problem. Mr. Silver is very kind and generous. Sit tight, I will send you guys to his house!”
He started his vehicle. The old man set off with his shabby rickshaw and drove down the bumpy road. It was hard to predict what would be the outcome of this trip.

At the same time, in Central City, Dominic laughed out loud as favonovel.com smoked at the Gomez’s family mansion. He was watching the announcement on the television with Nicholas.
The announcement was a simple one, for some special reasons, the program named “Good Voice of the Summer” was temporarily suspended for modification. It would be continued after the modification.
Dominic was overjoyed with the news.
“What modifications do they still want to work on?! Every single headline is filled with Vera’s leaked photos. Their program is done for. Every single viewer is now enraged with the Martin family and is boycotting ‘The Voice’. There is no need for those ghostwriters we hired, since they are already being reprimanded publicly.”
“The Martins spent so much time and energy on it, only to end up with nothing. What a scene to behold! I finally won against Thomas once!”
The last sentence was from the bottom of his heart. Dominic had won against the Martin family a few times before, but all this while, favonovel.com kept losing to Thomas, and favonovel.com was unhappy about it.
