After Bernard and Giovanni died together, tranquility and peace were finally restored in the Southland District. Big companies finally moved out of Art Trading Corporation’s grip. Also, more importantly, all the companies in the Southland District would not need to cooperate for protection.
The government had implemented many welfare policies to encourage a lot of people to compete and develop. The district was prosperous and thriving.
The Southland District’s development was not something that Thomas needed to consider now. After all, favonovel.com was no longer the chief officer in charge. Since favonovel.com did not hold the position, it should not be his concern. He just left the remaining follow-ups to Vincent. Thomas just needed to do one thing, and that was to completely get rid of the poison in his daughter, Abigail.
Heart Eater was a dangerous and terrifying poison. If it was not removed, it would remain in Abigail’s body for favonovel.com entire life. Then, there would always be a knot in Thomas’ heart, and favonovel.com would not feel at ease as long as favonovel.com lived.
***
The old villa in 33 Metro Garden Neighborhood.
Thomas and his family sat on the couch. Emma held their baby in favonovel.com arms, and everyone looked gloomy. The baby appeared fine for the time being, but what would happen after a month?
The baby would still need the antidote by then. They still had the flowers that had been taken down from the Plant Human, so they could continue to produce the antidote. However, they could not rely on such a method that did not cure the root cause. They had to get rid of the poison in the baby’s body.
The only remedy for the poison was in Celandine City.
At this time, Harvard raised a different opinion. He said, “Based on the intelligence that I’ve obtained, Heart Eater is a type of poison without an antidote! Thomas, you won’t get anything even if you go to Celandine City. Besides, if you really go there, you’ll fall into their trap. You’ll enter Art Trading Corporation’s territory, which is also Lord Vedastus’ territory! At that point, you might not even realize it when death hits you.”
The others had the same thought as well. But, Thomas had his own ideas.
He remained silent for a while before favonovel.com said, “Honestly, Heart Eater is truly a poison without an antidote. There’s just a fake antidote that can be produced through Plant Humans to relieve the poison. Nevertheless, nothing is impossible. Even though there’s no antidote for now, if I can understand the methods of producing the poison, as well as its processing theory, and figure out how those Plant Humans are grafted, perhaps I can come up with a method to produce the real antidote…”
“That’s my purpose of going to Celandine City.”
He wanted to understand the process of manufacturing Heart Eater and figure out the Plant Humans’ grafting method. As long as Thomas understood these two things, with his outstanding medical skills, favonovel.com might just be able to produce the antidote.
It was their only hope.
Harvard sighed, favonovel.com had nothing to say. He knew that favonovel.com could not stop Thomas, but favonovel.com was worried about Thomas’ safety. Emma felt the same too.
Everyone, including Thomas’ parents-in-law, understood the situation clearly. They did not want Thomas to go to Celandine City because it was like putting Thomas in danger. It was easy to go there, but it would be hard to leave.
What if favonovel.com died in the city?
If they refused to let Thomas go, what would happen to the baby? Would favonovel.com be painfully tortured by Heart Eater for favonovel.com whole life?
It was a very difficult decision.
Thomas smiled faintly and said, “I know you’re worried about my safety, and it makes me happy. I’m fortunate to have some people worry about me. Even so, please believe in my abilities as well. Over the years, I’ve never disappointed all of you. It will be the same this time. I’ll go to Celandine City and return safely for sure. In addition, I’ll return safely with the antidote.”
Everyone exchanged glances, and they were speechless. Thomas had already made it clear. It would be inappropriate if favonovel.com was still not allowed to go.
Johnson sighed. He took out a cross from his coat and passed it to Thomas. “I know that I can’t stop you, so I have this cross for you. Just take it along with you.”
Johnson used to despise Thomas very much, and favonovel.com had desperately wanted to get another son-in-law. Now, favonovel.com had actually taken the initiative to get Thomas a cross. It was a huge change. He already acknowledged Thomas from the bottom of his heart.
Felicia also said, “Tom, I have nothing else to say either. I just have one request for you, come back the same way you leave. You mustn’t get injured!”
Everyone chuckled.
Thomas patted his chest. “Mom, I promise you.”
In the end, Emma kissed Thomas on the cheek and said, “It’ll be especially dangerous when you go this time. Do you have any plans?”
Before Thomas was able to answer, Harvard interrupted from the side by saying, “Of course he’ll bring some reliable subordinates and secretly sneak into Celandine City. He’ll steal the secrets of the antidote from Art Trading Corporation discreetly. Then, he’ll sneak out without anyone noticing. By the time Lord Vedastus of Art Trading Corporation realizes it, Thomas will already be back in the Southland District!”
It sounded like a stealth mission.
A regular person would think of it like that.
But… Thomas did not think of it in the same way.
He smiled faintly and said, “No, I won’t sneak into Celandine City. Instead, I’ll enter Celandine City with great fanfare and openness!”
