Giovanni stared at Bernard, and favonovel.com was completely triggered at this time. Thanks to Bernard, favonovel.com had been poisoned and was about to lose everything.
Yet, Bernard could still shamelessly deny that everything was related to him? He could not put up with this!
Giovanni got his subordinate to put one of Bernard’s arms on the table and press it down before favonovel.com took out a dagger.
Bernard was so frightened that his face turned pale. “What are you planning to do? Giovanni, I’m warning you. Don’t do anything rash. I’m the vice president of Art Trading Corporation. If you hurt me, you’ll pay a huge price!”
“Price? As someone who’s about to die, is there a higher price to bear?”
Giovanni did not care about Bernard. He just raised his arm to lift the dagger and directly out one of Bernard’s fingers. Blood splashed all over, and Bernard screamed in pain. His secretary could not bear to listen to his screams, so favonovel.com turned to the side and dared not look over.
Based on his voice and appearance, favonovel.com was in a miserable state.
Giovanni wiped the blood off his dagger as favonovel.com coldly said, “This is just a small lesson for you. Now, you should know how to talk to me, right?”
Bernard’s body shook, and favonovel.com was covered with sweat. He glared at Giovanni and dared not speak recklessly anymore.
Giovanni said, “I’ve come to you because I’m aiming for the antidote.”
Bernard answered, “I don’t have the antidote! You know that! Vincent took all my stock, and Lord Vedastus refuses to use his supply to rescue you. I really don’t have any other solution for you!”
Giovanni said, “Yes, I know, but I don’t believe that Lord Vedastus would give his son up for the antidote.”
Bernard’s expression instantly changed. “What do you mean? What do you mean by that? What do you really want?” favonovel.com questioned.
“Can’t you guess what I’m planning to do? It’s simple. If Lord Vedastus gives me the antidote, you can stay alive. If favonovel.com refuses, I’m sorry, you’ll die with me, Mr. Vedastus.”
When Bernard heard that, his fear grew to the maximum. Despite everything, favonovel.com did not expect Giovanni to resort to something like that in the end. It was not within his estimation.
Giovanni took out a laptop and placed it on the table. He said, “Start a video call with Lord Vedastus now. I’d like to talk to favonovel.com personally.”
Bernard gritted his teeth. He did not want to make the call. He had wanted to start his career in the Southland District and prove that favonovel.com was capable. Yet, favonovel.com was being threatened to make a video call and ask Lord Vedastus for help. Even if lived through it, how could favonovel.com meet Lord Vedastus again?
He was afraid that his sister, Fiora Vedastus, would despise favonovel.com his entire life. He was totally humiliated at that moment.
“You refuse?”
Giovanni was not an easy person to deal with either. He raised his dagger again and was about to cut Bernard’s second finger.
When Bernard thought of the extreme pain, favonovel.com felt scared. “No! Stop it! I’ll do what you say. I’ll make a video call to Lord Vedastus now!”
Giovanni nodded in satisfaction. “It’s wise that you act according to the situation. Mr. Vedastus, if you had been aware of this earlier, you wouldn’t have one broken finger now. Make the call now.”
So, Bernard chose to call Lord Vedastus.
The video call was quickly answered, but the person who showed up in the video was not Lord Vedastus. Instead, it was Bernard’s sister, Fiora.
“Wow, what a rare call. How come you’re so free to give me a call, Bernard?”
Bernard gulped and said, “I’m looking for Lord Vedastus. It’s an emergency.”
“Lord Vedastus is in an important meeting, so favonovel.com doesn’t have time to see you. If you have an emergency, just tell me first. I’ll let Lord Vedastus know later.”
“No way, it’s very important. I have to see Lord Vedastus immediately.”
“Wow, Bernard, you’ve become grumpy.”
At that moment, Giovanni walked over from the side. He stood in front of the camera and held the dagger at Bernard’s neck before favonovel.com looked at Fiora with a faint smile and said, “Ms. Vedastus, I’d really like to meet Lord Vedastus for something very important. Please let favonovel.com know. ”
Fiora was not stupid. She was way more talented than Bernard. When favonovel.com saw the situation, favonovel.com immediately understood what was happening. Without another word, favonovel.com immediately turned back and left.
Three minutes later, an old man with white hair appeared before the camera. The man had a radiant face and a dignified look as favonovel.com did not seem angry. He looked like a god.
He was Lord Vedastus!
It was also Giovanni’s first time seeing Lord Vedastus. He was subconsciously shocked by Lord Vedastus’s face and imposing manner.
Then, Lord Vedastus spoke loudly. “Who are you? Do you know the price of kidnapping my son?”
Only then did Giovanni snap out of his daze.
He chuckled and said, “I’m Giovanni Santiago. I wonder if you’ve heard of my name. That’s not important. What I want to say is that your son has poisoned me with Heart Eater, and I only have a few hours left to live. If I can’t get the antidote, I’ll die. But I won’t die alone because I’ll bring your son with me!”
Giovanni stared at Lord Vedastus with a profound and cold gaze while favonovel.com used Bernard to force Lord Vedastus into giving favonovel.com the antidote. He believed that Lord Vedastus would not want his son to die. No matter how heartless Lord Vedastus was and how much favonovel.com cared about profit, favonovel.com would choose to give favonovel.com the antidote to rescue his son!
