Pisces stared at Thomas. “But?”
Thomas took a deep breath. “It could be an organization, an underground organization that never shows its face but yet is of substantial power!”
It was as if the entire room was frozen from his statement. Pisces straightened up his clothes as favonovel.com felt cold shivers all over his body.
He coughed and said, “Commander, you are saying that there exists an organization stronger than Art Trading Corporation in Celandine City but it has never shown its face before?”
Was that possible?
That idea alone was out of the world.
Thomas came up with his analysis, “Let us assume that this organization does exist and they are ‘Star of Luck’. In that case, that answers many questions. The so-called Ancestral Water might just be plain water and drinking it does not do anything to the human body. But, it signifies that the person who drank the water is now recognized by the organization known as Star of Luck!”
Thomas paused before continued his analysis, “Drinking the Ancestral Water, getting acknowledgment from Star of Luck, and hence obtaining support from them. At that point, they can do whatever they want. Otherwise, no matter how capable you are, you can never have a foothold in Celandine City.”
As they were still talking, Pisces suddenly realized something and said, “You are right. That is true. For hundreds of years, only those who have drunk Ancestral Water managed to get a foothold and reign over Celandine City. As for other forces, no matter how powerful they are in another city, none of them managed to gain a foothold in Celandine City!”
That was it. These people had been misdirected and their opponent was not who they thought they were.
In Celandine City, the opponent was not those who had information of. In order to reign over Celandine City, one had to be acknowledged by Star of Luck.
Thomas continued, “House of Vistaria was known to be able to communicate with Star of Luck. Hmm, this means that they are actually the spokesperson and representative of Star of Luck. The Star of Luck exists ‘underground’ hence it was impossible for the person in charge to show their face and deal with Lord Vedastus, Wilbur, or anyone else. They need someone to represent them. And House of Vistaria is their representative and spokesperson. Every single command from the Star of Luck will be transmitted through House of Vistaria. This is also the reason why House of Vistaria can stand tall for over a century without any manpower…”
“Messing with House of Vistaria equals to messing with Star of Luck! Whoever messes with Star of Luck in Celandine City will end up dead.”
All of these were Thomas’s assumptions which were made in accordance with the information available. Although it did not sound plausible, it did seem to be the case.
Pisces swallowed his saliva and said, “If this organization really exists, then where are they? How do they operate? And how can they control Celandine City as a whole and even Lord Vedastus?”
There was no way to get the answers to these questions.
Thomas said, “Actually, these are not important to me. My purpose is not to reign over Celandine City but to find out the secret behind Heart Eater and produce the real antidote. Hence, as long as what I do does not overlap with Star of Luck’s interest, there will be no problem with them.”
Pisces said, “But Star of Luck is on Lord Vedastus’ side. Since we are going against Lord Vedastus, will the Star of Luck…”
Thomas laughed. “Star of Luck once supported Wilbur as well, but what happened to him? He was replaced by Lord Vedastus. In his old age, favonovel.com lay on the bed alone, fighting against his imminent death.”
After a pause, Thomas continued, “So, if l can get my hands on Ancestral Water and acknowledgment from Star of Luck, that will justify my fight with Lord Vedastus, and Star of Luck will not interfere in it.”
Pisces sighed and said, “In order to receive an acknowledgment from Star of Luck, you have to offer five suitable sacrifices. But sadly, all of them who have this information are all dead beside Lord Vedastus. What should we do?”
Thomas smiled, “It is not only Lord Vedastus who knows what truly should be offered.”
“Really?”
“Of course. Think about it. Where did Lord Vedastus learn about the suitable offerings? From where did the six winners who obtained Ancestral Water get their information?”
They definitely did not obtain the information from other winners. Wilbur was proof, as favonovel.com did not even say a single thing on his deathbed. It was impossible for anyone to speak of the secret once they knew of it. Since no one spoke of the secret, how did the six winners who obtained Ancestral Water know about the suitable offerings?
There was only one answer to that…
House of Vistaria!
House of Vistaria, also known as the Mars family. They were the spokesperson of Star of Luck and had the most interaction with them. If there was anyone who knew what were the five suitable offerings were, would it be anyone else but House of Vistaria?
Thomas tapped his finger on the table and said, “It seems like we need to pay a visit to House of Vistaria and meet their patriarch to obtain more information.”
Pisces frowned, “It is very difficult to enter House of Vistaria. Patriarch of the Mars family refuses to see anyone all year long. They are very mysterious.”
Thomas smiled. “It is hard to meet with the patriarch, huh? What about the young miss, then?”
Pisces finally recalled.
That was true as the young miss of the Mars family, Phoebe had anorexia. She had to take favonovel.com meals at Food and Medicine Hall every day. All they needed to do was to come up with an excuse to follow favonovel.com to favonovel.com house.
How hard was that?
“You already have a plan in mind, commander?”
“Mhmm…” Thomas nodded, “Come closer.”
Pisces went closer and Thomas told favonovel.com every single detail of his plan.
