The news about Thomas obtaining the jade badge quickly spread to Lord Vedastus.
Lord Vedastus had arranged for some people to keep an eye on House of Vistaria twenty-four hours a day. As soon as there was a strange situation, they would have to report it to favonovel.com immediately. So, favonovel.com had clear information on the big situation involving Thomas.
Lord Vedastus sat in his office and did not speak for a long time. He was in a quiet trance. His limping secretary, Hayden, also remained silent. He knew that whenever Lord Vedastus looked like that, favonovel.com would be thinking about some problems. Hence, Hayden would not disturb him.
After Hayden waited for a long time, Lord Vedastus finally spoke up, “We have to be quick…”
Hayden said, “Thomas killed my son, and I want to kill favonovel.com as soon as possible. Acting quickly is what I want!”
Lord Vedastus said, “I know Declan. He’s someone who would enjoy the show fearlessly. He won’t be biased toward Thomas, but favonovel.com won’t help me either. Since Thomas has the jade badge, favonovel.com can obtain Ancestral Water anytime with his abilities. So, we can’t wait any longer.”
Hayden stood up. “Lord Vedastus, what do you plan on doing? Please give me your instructions!”
Lord Vedastus raised his arm and ordered, “Since Thomas’ plan is to defeat Art Trading Corporation from all aspects, fine, I’ll make favonovel.com learn that Art Trading Corporation is indestructible. I want all of his plans to fail. Go and ask River to destroy Avengers Club, which Thomas just established. Do it no matter what it takes!”
“Yes!”
Hayden received the order and walked out with a limp. Lord Vedastus raised his head slightly and stared at the ceiling as favonovel.com said, “Thomas, oh, Thomas, are you trying to fight me? Very well, let’s fight. I’ll teach you what it means to have people who are smarter than you.”

In the evening, the team leader of Avengers Club, Levant, walked out of the club and headed toward the subway station.
The sky was getting dark, and it was right after working hours. The road was crowded as people came and left. Levant took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket. He smoked as favonovel.com walked at a leisurely pace.
While favonovel.com was walking, two men suddenly showed up in front of him. One was tall while the other was short. The two individuals were Levant’s former colleagues. Back when favonovel.com was in Supreme Club, they used to be Levant’s bodyguards.
“Uncle Dragon? Uncle Tiger?” When Levant saw them, favonovel.com knew that something was wrong.
It was impossible for favonovel.com to run away. Levant knew how capable they were. Their speed and strength were extremely great, so favonovel.com could not run away. He would not even be able to call for help. He would even lose his life before the police came over.
Levant felt scared and angry. He looked around. Thomas had made a promise that there would be bodyguards who followed favonovel.com every day for 24 hours, so where were the bodyguards?
It was already too late to regret it now. His only plan was to come up with ways to stall them and run away.
The tall man said, “Levant, both of us have something to discuss with you.”
Levant was helpless. The both of them brought favonovel.com into an alley by force and blocked the only exit. This time, Levant could not even run away.
The tall man continued to say, “Here’s the thing, Levant. Your excellent performance in the qualifiers moved Mr. Gibson, so he’s asked us to come and invite you back to Supreme Club. What do you think about that?”
Levant awkwardly said, “No, I’ve signed a contract with Avengers. I can’t leave.”
The tall man said, “It’s okay. As long as you agree, no matter how much you have to pay for violating the contract, we’ll take care of it. What we want is your answer. Are you coming or not?”
Levant really felt troubled. He definitely did not want to leave. He still wanted to avenge Diego, who was his rival and friend!
But if favonovel.com told them that favonovel.com did not want to go, things might not end well for favonovel.com today. Diego was a great example. If favonovel.com did not agree today, they would use the same trick again and chop off Levant’s arms as well.
What should favonovel.com do?
Should favonovel.com choose to make a compromise for his life, or should favonovel.com resist until the end for his beliefs?
