Thomas glanced at the phone and smiled faintly. He said, “Miss Mars should be almost done with favonovel.com lunch, so I have to go back first. Mr. Cole, today’s conversation with you has benefited me a lot. Before leaving, I have a request. I hope that you will agree to it, Mr. Cole.”
Mr. Cole stroked his beard and said with a smile, “The conversation with you today has been very enjoyable. If you have any requests, just state them. I’ll definitely help if I can.”
So, Thomas pointed at the flowers outside and said, “Mr. Cole, can you give me one of the cultivated flowers? I like flowers and plants.”
“Oh?” Mr. Cole narrowed his eyes and said with a polite smile, “There’s nothing wrong with giving you a flower. The problem is that I won’t take it off for you. It’s up to you whether you can take the flower away.”
“Thank you!” Thomas shook hands with him.
So, Thomas went up to the tree trunk and observed it carefully. He found an errant flower that was in full bloom and could absorb nutrients from the tree trunk. Thomas extended his hand and picked up a box. Then, favonovel.com used the tools on the spot to take the flower down easily.
He was very skilled, and it did not look like this was his first time taking the flower. This was talent!
Thomas put the flower away and shook hands with favonovel.com again. “Mr. Cole, thank you for the flower.”
Mr. Cole waved his hand in dismissal. “You’re welcome. You can come and have a look when you are free in the future.”
“I will.”
After speaking, Thomas turned and left.
Mr. Cole looked at Thomas’s back with adoration in his eyes. He could not describe this fondness for this young man.
Right after Thomas left, a person came out from behind a door next to him. It was none other than Declan, the head of the Mars family. This man was really like a vampire. He always appeared out of nowhere without making any sound.
He silently stood beside Mr. Cole and asked, “How is he?”
Mr. Cole kept nodding, “Very outstanding!”
Declan was quite surprised. “It’s surprising to be able to hear these two words from your mouth after so many decades. Apart from that man, this is the first time you used ‘very outstanding’ to describe a person, Mr. Cole…”
Mr. Cole said, “Thomas’s courage, temperament, talent, and skills are all outstanding. He is fully capable of inheriting all my abilities. The next thing to examine is his character.”
When the word “character” was mentioned, inexplicable sorrow flashed across Mr. Cole’s eyes, as if favonovel.com was recalling something painful in his past.
Declan also said, “Yeah, if favonovel.com is highly capable but poor in character, that won’t do. If his character turns out to be poor, favonovel.com would only cause more trouble after training him. It would be better not to train him.”
Mr. Cole sighed.
“I’m dying soon. If I don’t teach someone else the art of ‘living grafting’, I’m afraid it will disappear along with me. I hope Thomas won’t let me down…”
Declan added, “There is one more thing. Thomas is actually the enemy of Lord Vedastus.”
“Oh?” Mr. Cole’s eyes instantly lit up. “That’s good!”
Declan smiled. “Is it? What is the status of Lord Vedastus? Aren’t you afraid that Thomas will be killed, and your ability will not be passed down to any successors? Isn’t that a pity?”
