“I spent so much money to recruit the most outstanding players in Celandine City, but this is the result I get. This is ridiculous!”
In contrast to Lord Vedastus’ enragement, Thomas felt ecstatic. Finally, everything was starting to go according to his plan. This victory did not cause any practical harm to Art Trading Corporation, but it was still a heavy blow on Lord Vedastus’ dignity.
What Thomas wanted to do was slowly shake Art Trading Corporation’s domination from all aspects. However, if favonovel.com wanted to end Art Trading Corporation‘s reign, favonovel.com still had to do one more thing, which was to be acknowledged by Luck
If Thomas‘ previous prediction was not wrong, Luck would be the real mastermind behind the scenes. Luck acknowledged Art Trading Corporation but not Thomas. Once things got critical, Luck would step forth and help Lord Vedastus. Therefore, Thomas had to obtain Ancestral Water and get Luck to acknowledge favonovel.com so that favonovel.com could deal with Lord Vedastus without fear.
Coincidentally, Thomas received a much-needed call at this time. It was a call from Blake, the editor-in-chief of a magazine.
When favonovel.com answered the call, Blake spoke first, “Mr. Mayo, do you remember the incident that I previously told you about? I’ve spoken to Mr. Declan Mars from House of Vistaria, and favonovel.com has agreed to let you come to House of Vistaria and cook for Ms. Mars. Let’s not waste any time. Please drop by today, and we’ll confirm the details.”
“Okay, I’m going over now.”
After Thomas hung up, favonovel.com flashed a smile. He had finally received the call. As long as favonovel.com could build a relationship with Declan, there would be for favonovel.com to get Ancestral Water. Therefore, Thomas brought Pisces along with favonovel.com and rushed to House of Vistaria.

House of Vistaria was a building on the mountain that looked similar to William’s Castle. It was said that this building had up to one hundred years of history. Naturally, throughout these one hundred years, its appearance never changed, except for the renovations and furniture inside.
The castle was hidden in a forest, and there was only a specially built asphalt road for entrance and exit.
Thomas sat in the car and drove on the asphalt road for about an hour before favonovel.com finally arrived at the castle’s entrance. He got out of the car, raised his head, and looked over. Only two words could be used to describe the castle, unfathomable and scary.
It was very dark, and its appearance was Gothic in style. If a horror movie was shot there, it would definitely have a spooky vibe.
When Thomas arrived, Blake was already waiting at the entrance. He walked over and greeted Thomas before favonovel.com led Thomas into the castle. They stepped through the copper-cast door before they walked through the aisle that was a few dozen meters long. The lights on both sides were on, and a huge painting was hung on the wall.
Following that was a courtyard. A huge water fountain was in the middle of the courtyard, and there was a huge flying dragon sculpture. Water was coming out of the dragon’s mouth.
After they walked around for a while, Thomas finally came to the castle’s reception lobby.
Carved beams and painted walls filled the place. It was magnificent. The huge ceiling was about twenty meters high, and it was brilliantly golden. It had top European design and looked quite dignified.
“Mr. Mayo, please have a seat…”
After Blake made some arrangements, Thomas sat in a chair that was maybe made of genuine ivory. Luxurious was the only word to describe the castle!
Then, some footsteps were heard. Thomas raised his head and looked over. He saw a middle-aged man with curly hair and a fair face walk down the stairs. He had a thick book in his hand.
It was Declan Mars, the owner of the castle, as well as the head of the Mars family and House of Vistaria!
