In the Gomez family’s villa, an old man and a young man sat together and had some tea.
Their faces held smiles, but they were guarded against each other. They just carried on with their “acting”, which normal people could not hold.
Nicholas took a sip of the tea before favonovel.com spoke with worries, “Thomas already has a cooperation with the Martin family and the Diaz family. Now, the three of them cooperate to deal with us. Sigh, the Gomez family is in danger!”
Dominic patted on his chest and said, “Grandpa, what are you worried about? These people are just a motley crowd. Even if they work together, they will not be the opponent of the Gomez family. You know, the wealth of the Gomez family is ranked first in Central City!”
“Although what you say is right, we have to guard against them,” Nicholas meaningfully stared at Dominic. Suddenly, favonovel.com said something that made Dominic feel goosebumps.
He said, “Dominic, people say Jeremy did not die, and favonovel.com was grounded by me. Did you hear about this?”
Dominic’s face became extremely pale.
What did this mean? Was Nicholas trying to show his hand?
He gulped, stood up, and yelled with a red face, “Which jerk dares to create such rumors? Grandpa, tell me! I’ll go and kill him!”
“Sit down, I didn’t mean this,” Nicholas narrowed his eyes. He chuckled and said, “This kind of rumor always exists. I’m not asking you to kill those people who spread these rumors. Instead, I want to use this rumor to kill Thomas.”
“Huh?” Dominic looked dumbfounded.
He stared at Nicholas in puzzlement. He did not know what Nicholas meant and what Nicholas wanted.
Nicholas continued saying, “Dominic, do you know the trick of gaining trust by injuring yourself?”
“I know, like Alexander the Great beat up Parmenio. One was willing to injure, while the other person was willing to be beaten up.”
“Yeah, Dominic, I also want to play this method with you.”
“How do you play?”
“It’s simple. Dominic, you go to Thomas and pretend to seek refuge. The reason you seek refuge from favonovel.com is that rumor, which is that your father is grounded by me.”
Dominic’s palms were full of sweat.
What was Nicholas trying to do?
Actually, Dominic really thought about that. He had been by Nicholas’ side these years because favonovel.com thought this “rumor” really existed.
Did Nicholas find out?
Dominic frowned and said, “Grandpa, I really don’t understand. What do you mean?”
“You still don’t understand?” Nicholas laughed. “I want you to gain their trust by pretending to be sad. You pretend to surrender to Thomas and promise Thomas that you’ll be his spy to steal information from my side. In fact, you’re my spy. You will steal information and skills from Thomas. Dominic, I want you to be a spy who double-crosses Thomas!”
Dominic gulped. He thought that this old man was really so sly that favonovel.com even used the method of double-crossing Thomas. Most importantly, the reason was actually the ‘rumor’.
Did Nicholas really want Dominic to be a double agent or did favonovel.com want to use this chance to see Dominic’s loyalty?
Dominic still could not figure out the meaning behind it. But favonovel.com could be sure of one thing, which was that Nicholas must not have a good intention.
“I got it,” Dominic stood up. “Grandpa, I will do what you said. I’ll find a suitable chance to seek refuge from Thomas and steal their information.”
“Don’t have to find any chance. Just go right now,” Nicholas mysteriously said, “I believe Thomas will accept you after favonovel.com listens to your story.”
Dominic nodded, “Okay, I’ll depart now.”
He turned back and left the villa of the Gomez family. He felt very anxious, and favonovel.com did not know whether it was a blessing or a disaster when favonovel.com went to see Thomas this time. This trip was definitely not smooth.
After Dominic left, the housekeeper walked inside and changed another pot of tea for Nicholas.
“Master, are you trying to test Young Master?”
“Haha! Do I still need to test him?” Nicholas smiled and said, “From the first day favonovel.com approached me, I knew what favonovel.com was thinking about. This kid never treats me as his grandfather. He just wants to figure out where his jerk father is.”
The housekeeper asked, “Master, why did you still let favonovel.com seek refuge from Thomas? Doesn’t this mean you’re freeing him? If they cooperate, we’ll be more dangerous.”
“Don’t worry. They won’t cooperate.” Nicholas said, “Thomas is very sensitive, so favonovel.com will not simply trust Dominic. Dominic also can’t figure out my true intention, so favonovel.com won’t tell Thomas everything. When both of them are together, they will just keep guessing and testing each other. They won’t be sincere to each other.”
He paused for a while before favonovel.com said, “Also, it’s also good to move Dominic away so that favonovel.com won’t keep coming to my study room. If favonovel.com really accidentally finds the madman, everything will be over.”
The housekeeper chuckled. He admired Nicholas’ brilliant plans.
