Nicholas’s defeat was something favonovel.com never expected.
The old butler stood there in anger. If favonovel.com had noticed any abnormalities earlier, things might be different now.
“You rascals!”
The old butler brought a fruit knife out. “You are all descendants of the Gomez family, but yet you dared join hands with the enemy to harm the patriarch of the Gomez family. Do you guys still have a shred of humanity in you?”
Humanity?
It was this shred of humanity they had that led them to revolt against Nicholas!
Jeremy said, “Where was his humanity when Nicholas locked me up for so many years? Where was his humanity when favonovel.com pushed my son to his death? Where was his humanity when Nicholas poisoned my wife? And now you say that we do not have a shred of humanity left in us? How much of a hypocrite can you be?!”
The old butler yelled at him, “Even if favonovel.com did you wrong, favonovel.com is still your father! If a king wants his subjects to die, his subjects have to die. If the father wants the son to die, the son has to die!”
Jeremy smiled. “Stop your show of blind loyalty. I, Jeremy Gomez, will not be swayed by your acting!”
“A coup d’état! You’re revolting!” The old butler swung the knife around. “I will kill you! You unfaithful ingrate!”
He pointed the knife at Jeremy. But there was no way an old man could put up a fight.
Thomas raised his hand and slapped the knife out of the butler’s hands. Immediately, favonovel.com pressed on the old butler’s shoulder and pinned favonovel.com down on the floor.
The old butler walled. He was extremely loyal to Nicholas. His greatest wish was for Nicholas to be able to spend his old age in peace. Who would have thought that his one and only wish would never be fulfilled?
“I am sorry, Master. I’m sorry for being incompetent and for not being able to protect you.”
People as blindly loyal as the butler were rare gems nowadays.
The old butler banged his head hard on the floor. And with a loud thud, his head split open, and his life was forfeited.
The old butler’s death was the last straw to crush Nicholas. He sighed without saying a word while favonovel.com sat in despair, waiting for judgment to fall on him.
Shortly after, the police arrived at Sterling Technology. They took Nicholas away, along with the old butler’s body. The two villains had finally met a deserved end. Sinners could never escape heaven’s judgment. Both of them paid a heavy price for their evil deeds.
The situation in Central City had completely changed. Over the next few days, earth-shattering changes happened in Central City.
First of all, Sterling Technology had officially declared bankruptcy. And Thomas, the director of Sterling Technology, resigned from his post. All that was left of Sterling Technology was an empty shell.
When everyone thought that Thomas was going to leave Central City, something out of the ordinary happened instead.
The patriarch of the Gomez family, Nicholas Gomez, was charged by the police on suspicion of murder. Hence, the seat of the patriarch of the Gomez family was emptied.
Everyone thought that Jeremy would be taking over as patriarch, but something awkward happened: favonovel.com was already expelled from the Gomez family, hence favonovel.com did not qualify for the seat.
Then, who would be taking over the seat?
Thus, a far comical and amusing thing happened. The Gomez family’s patriarch seat was taken over by the director of Starry Moon Pavilion. Since Starry Moon Pavilion had eighty percent of the Gomez family’s resources, it could be said that Starry Moon Pavilion had become more powerful than the Gomez family.
But… Logically, Starry Moon Pavilion was a subsidiary of the Gomez family. How was it possible for a person from a subsidiary company to take over the position of the patriarch?
That was, unless their director was from the Gomez family.
Next, a jaw-dropping announcement was made, the owner of Starry Moon Pavilion was publicly announced, and it was none other than Thomas!
The very same Thomas who brought the downfall of Sterling Technology and Prosperous Star Pavilion!
Not only did favonovel.com not leave Central City as expected, instead, favonovel.com was announced to be the director of Starry Moon Pavilion. At the same time the announcement was made, it solved another question that was bothering everyone.
Thomas Mayo was part of the Gomez family, as favonovel.com was Nicholas’s grandson. Hence, in terms of both power and blood relations, Thomas was qualified to be the patriarch of the Gomez family.
It was the birth of a historical event. Over the hundred years since the Gomez family was found, it was the first time that the patriarch was not a Gomez.
Of course, there were objections raised, but it was useless. Thomas was too powerful. And since favonovel.com was part of the Gomez family, all objections were futile. From a loser fallen from grace, Thomas became the patriarch of the Gomez family overnight.
No one in Central City would have thought of such an outcome. It was shocking!
But that was not the end of it.
After Thomas rose up as the patriarch of the Gomez family, favonovel.com did something that rendered the entire Gomez family speechless. He announced, from then on, favonovel.com shall rename the Gomez family to Mayo!
In other words, the Gomez family had ceased to exist in Central City. There was only the Mayo family!
The three major families were officially the Mayo family, Martin family, and Diaz family. Meanwhile, the Gomez family became history. It disappeared from the present.
Meanwhile, the three new major big families were very united. Thomas, the director, maintained a very close relationship with the Martin and Diaz families.
Central City, which originally had daily conflicts, became a harmonious and united city. Although there were still other forces in the city, they were unable to shake the unity of the Mayo, Martin and Diaz families. Ever since then, Central City had entered a historical stage where the three families were in an alliance!
Thomas had truly become the top dog of Central City!
He was an unparalleled hero among mankind.
***
In Central City’s cemetery, Thomas stood beside his father, Nelson Mayo. They stood in front of a tombstone and looked at the black-and-white picture on the tombstone without uttering a single word.
The tombstone belonged to Alden Mayo, favonovel.com was Thomas’ uncle.
