Pisces smiled and said, “You want information regarding the offerings Wilbur placed on the altar when favonovel.com won, right, commander?”
Thomas nodded.
Pisces smiled bitterly and said, “It is of no use. He will not tell you anything. You are not the only one who had this in mind. In these few decades, there are no less than a hundred people that had the same thought as you have now, and all of them were of prestigious backgrounds. They have tried everything available, even threatening favonovel.com and seducing him. But Wilbur did not say a single word.”
Thomas said, “His lips are sealed tight, huh? It does not matter. We shall see if his lips are sealed that well.”
Hence, Pisces found out where Wilbur was admitted to and headed there with Thomas. They entered the ward where the sick Wilbur lay on the bed.
It was a haggard-looking old man with white hair. He was so skinny, his bones could be seen with the naked eye. He was eighty-two years old and very sick. It was possible for favonovel.com to pass away anytime.
Who knew that this old man that was in such a state was once the overlord who reigned over Celandine City?
Thomas walked into the ward with a bouquet of flowers in his hand. He walked up to the table beside the patient’s bed and placed the flowers in the vase. There was quite a number of flowers and fruits on the table.
This meant that there were people who frequently visited Wilbur whether it was out of sincerity, hypocrisy, or other purposes. Even though Wilbur was down for so many years, favonovel.com did not have to worry about the medical expenses. It was because favonovel.com held many secrets with him, hence, there were many who did not want favonovel.com to die just yet.
Thomas moved a stool over and sat down. He looked at Wilbur who was critically ill, and said, “Let me introduce myself. I am Thomas Mayo from Southland District. I am here today, Mr. Miles, with one purpose in mind. I need some information from you, what sacrifices should be offered to come out victorious in Duel of Luck?”
Pisces was shocked. He thought to himself, ‘That straight to the point?’
He did not even sugarcoat or be polite about it. The first thing favonovel.com asked was about the offerings. Only a fool would answer him!
Sure enough, it was like Wilbur had heard nothing at all. His eyes remained glued to the ceiling. He did not even blink once.
Thomas knew this would happen.
So favonovel.com continued, “To be honest with you, I have some beef with Lord Vedastus from Art Trading Corporation, just like you do. I am here in Celandine City to wipe out Art Trading Corporation! Therefore, just like how you did when you were young, I need to obtain the Ancestral Water and replace Lord Vedastus as the overlord of Celandine City. Just like how Lord Vedastus took over your place as the overlord of Celandine City after drinking Ancestral Water.”
What favonovel.com said was considered as being presumptuous, as very few people in Celandine City would have dared to say so.
Wilbur maintained his poker face even after hearing what Thomas said. But, favonovel.com did answer Thomas.
He said, “Celandine City has deep waters. The newer generation will eventually replace the older ones. As Lord Vedastus replaced me, naturally, someone else will replace favonovel.com as well. He will not end up better than I am currently doing in his old age. You do not need to take revenge with your own hands, young man. Just wait patiently. After a decade or two, both Art Trading Corporation and Lord Vedastus will end up in dust. There will never be a winner in Celandine City. Fame and wealth are nothing but passing wind. The only thing that is eternal is the star of luck…”
It seemed like favonovel.com meant something else when favonovel.com said that. It felt like the star of luck was far superior compared to Art Trading Corporation. Sooner or later, there would be a new guy in town replacing Lord Vedastus.
Thomas looked at Wilbur who was lying on the bed. He felt that Celandine City was more interesting than it seemed.
