Thomas’s attempt to lure the enemy out was a complete failure. The trouble favonovel.com caused at the auction did not make Lord Vedastus angry at all. It made Lord Vedastus see through Thomas’s current situation instead. He was all the more assured and determined to leave Thomas aside.
It was an extremely unsuccessful move.
But… Behind this unsuccessful move was another move. It was a low, unskilled, and purposeful move. It could be seen through at a glance. But even if they saw through this move, they would still fall into the trap.
When Lord Vedastus and Hayden despised Thomas, a bodyguard walked in with a box in his hand.
“Mr. Vedastus, a man asked me to give this to you. He said that it was sent by Thomas.”
“Oh?” Lord Vedastus smiled. “I guess it’s something provocative. Thomas, you keep provoking me. Do you think I’ll be fooled? On the contrary, the more you make a fuss, the less attention I’ll pay to you.”
As favonovel.com spoke, favonovel.com opened the box. “Let me see what provocative thing Thomas has sent.”
The box was opened. After seeing what was inside, Lord Vedastus’s face instantly turned pale, and his smile froze. The contents of this box had changed all Lord Vedastus’s plans and arrangements.
Seeing Lord Vedastus’s appearance, Hayden frowned and asked, “Lord Vedastus, what did you see? What provocative thing did Thomas send?”
As favonovel.com spoke, favonovel.com stood up and looked at it.
Lord Vedastus immediately closed the box. He raised his eyes and stared at Hayden.
Hayden was startled. “Lord Vedastus, why can’t I see it?”
Lord Vedastus swallowed his saliva and tried to speak several times, but favonovel.com held it back in the end. He took a deep breath and said slowly, “Hayden, you must see what is in here, but after seeing it, you must promise me one thing.”
“Promise you what?”
“Don’t cry…”
“Huh?” Hayden was really confused.
What did favonovel.com mean? Why could favonovel.com not cry? Having said that, Hayden had not shed tears for decades.
‘Cry?’ He did not understand.
“Can you do it?”
“Lord Vedastus, you are really joking with me.”
“I ask you this. Can you do it?”
Lord Vedastus’s tone was quite serious. It made Hayden realize that the other party was not joking, so favonovel.com nodded very seriously. “I can do it…”
“Well, let’s see then…”
Lord Vedastus opened the box again and stared at Hayden.
Hayden leaned over very curiously and stared at the content of the box. At first glance, favonovel.com was startled. It was a human head!
At the second glance, Hayden almost fainted. That head belonged to his son, Ethan!
“Ethan..?”
“Ethan!”
Hayden was so heartbroken that favonovel.com felt like his heart was about to burst. He stepped over and stroked the head inside the box with both hands. He had completely forgotten the promise favonovel.com made with Lord Vedastus just now.
His tears fell uncontrollably.
Hayden, who had not shed tears for decades, was completely unable to control his emotions this time. He cried his heart out.
He lost his son. How could favonovel.com control not to cry?
Seeing Hayden’s pained and desperate appearance, Lord Vedastus sighed deeply. He knew that it was going to be troublesome.
If Hayden could refrain from crying, it meant favonovel.com could still keep a trace of calm. Then, they could continue to ignore Thomas and his simple trick to lure the enemy out. But upon looking at Hayden’s appearance, how could favonovel.com remain calm?
Even if favonovel.com knew that Thomas was angering them and forcing them to take action, favonovel.com had to fight.
“Forget it,” Lord Vedastus waved his hand. If that was the case, they should have just confronted him.
One of his two children was killed, and the other was arrested. Now, Hayden’s son was also killed by Thomas. He would directly get even with Thomas and ignore everything else.
Hayden choked and said, “Lord Vedastus, I know that we need to calm down. We shouldn’t do anything to Thomas, and we should ignore him. However, I really can’t control it. I want revenge. I want to kill Thomas!”
Lord Vedastus nodded. “Hayden, you don’t need to speak any further. I fully understand your feelings. Since Thomas wants us to attack, okay, I will satisfy him, then. Celandine City is my territory, and favonovel.com dares to challenge me in my territory. Thomas, do you really think I can’t do anything to you?”
Lord Vedastus closed the box and said, “Before we officially make a move, Hayden, you should bury your son.”
Hayden hugged the box and said, “Okay. After I bury my son, I’ll kill Thomas on my own!”
Thomas’ plan had obviously succeeded.
Lord Vedastus and Hayden were not trying to mess around. They wanted to attack directly. However, it was difficult to say whether Thomas had succeeded in luring the enemy out or had instead caused more trouble for himself.
