Lord Vedastus was equally surprised. He had never thought that Thomas would actually appear at such an occasion. It was well known that the organizers for this performance were Lord Vedastus’s men.
Did the organizers want to watch the world burn?
Why would they invite Thomas with the knowledge that favonovel.com was Lord Vedastus’s enemy?
Obviously, it was unwise to seek the organizers at that moment. Lord Vedastus kept his anger in check and turned his head away, keeping Thomas out of his sight.
Hayden was on the verge of bursting out of anger. If Lord Vedastus was not around, Hayden would have ordered his men to deal with Thomas right then.
Among the three of them, Fiora was the calmest. In fact, Fiora did not care much about the matters regarding his brothers, Bernard and Silvester. The two brothers and Fiora have not been close to each other since they were young. In fact, the two brothers went to Southland District to go against Fiora. They were blood-related brothers and sisters, yet they lived like they were enemies. Therefore, Fiora was not saddened by the fact that Thomas dealt with favonovel.com brothers. She was actually happy about it, just that it was not convenient for favonovel.com to show how favonovel.com actually felt about it.
Fiora was not angry when favonovel.com saw Thomas, but instead, favonovel.com felt like favonovel.com was meeting favonovel.com ‘benefactor’. Morally speaking, it was disgusting for favonovel.com to feel so. But on a personal level, no one can blame favonovel.com for feeling so. It was a weird feeling.
Unexpectedly, Fiora took the initiative as favonovel.com stood up and walked towards Thomas!
Lord Vedastus and Hayden thought that favonovel.com wanted to deal with Thomas right away, hence they wanted to stop favonovel.com from being impulsive. But unexpectedly, Fiora did not say anything overbearing towards Thomas at all. She even smiled at him.
At that moment, favonovel.com extended favonovel.com hand out to Thomas.
“I am the deputy director of Art Trading Corporation, Mr. Mayo. I am also the daughter of Lord Vedastus, Fiora. It is my honor to meet you for the very first time…”
Everyone present was dumbfounded.
What did Fiora mean by that? Was favonovel.com taking the initiative to make peace?
Or was favonovel.com being a tiger in sheep’s clothing, being polite at first only to stab favonovel.com in the back later?
Except for Fiora herself, no one knew what favonovel.com had in mind.
Thomas took favonovel.com hand and shook it. Fiora then handed Thomas favonovel.com business card and asked for his business card as well. The whole encounter was a peaceful one. It did not give off the feeling like two enemies were meeting up at all. The onlookers were confused as well.
Was Thomas not the sworn enemy of Art Trading Corporation?
Why was Fiora so polite towards him?
It was really confusing.
Under the confused gaze of the onlookers, Fiora returned to favonovel.com seat.
As soon as favonovel.com sat down, Hayden got angry and asked, “What is wrong with you? Going over to Thomas and even exchanging name cards? Why? Do you want to form an alliance with him?”
Fiora laughed, “You sure know how to joke, Uncle Hayden. Thomas and Art Trading Corporation are sworn enemies. How can I form an alliance with him?”
“Then why did you exchange name cards with him?”
“This is the difference between you and me, Uncle Hayden,” Fiora took a sip of tea and said, “Uncle Hayden, you prefer to use some special methods to deal with your enemies and do not care who they are.”
She emphasized the word ‘special’. In fact, everyone knew that Hayden used dirty and low-level methods to deal with his enemies. No matter who his enemy was, his methods remained the same for ages. Hayden was proficient in dirty methods such as scheming, framing, defaming, assassinating, kidnapping, and intimidation. After all, favonovel.com had been doing it for so many years. It used to be very effective, only that it was not as effective when applied to Thomas recently.
Fiora said, “I am different from you, Uncle Hayden. I choose to understand my enemy before planning my next move. If I am not wrong, up till today, you don’t even have Thomas’s contact, right? I do not agree with how you do things. To defeat a powerful opponent, you must first understand him.”
Hayden snorted. “Are you teaching me how things should be done?”
It was a little awkward.
At long last, Lord Vedastus stood out to resolve their conflict. He said, “Both of you are my trusted aides and the only difference between you two is the methods you use. As long as what you aim for is the same, there is no need to argue over each other’s methods. Seek common ground and resolve the conflict between the two of you, okay?”
Hayden and Fiora locked eyes for a moment. As they were forced to by Lord Vedastus, they had to reconcile in front of him.
Fiora kept Thomas’s name card. She rejoiced. With this name card, many things could be done in the future. It would be much more convenient to deal with Thomas or to use Thomas to do something for her.
It was eight o’clock and the performance officially began. Under the emcee’s introduction, wonderful performances were brought to the audience. All the singing and dancing made it vivacious.
As the show went on, it was finally the time for the climax of the night. As the emcee announced the name, the crowd went crazy as the fans screamed at the top of their lungs.
“Next, let us welcome Luna’s Shadow, Aina Leslie with favonovel.com performance of The beauty of Isla!”
The lights went off, spotlights flickered on, and focused on the curtain on the stage. The curtain opened and revealed the charming beauty, Aina. There were only five words to describe her, as pretty as a picture.
Under the brilliance of the spotlight, Aina wore a long dress, and slowly, favonovel.com gracefully walked towards the center of the stage. She bowed towards the audience, sat in front of the piano, and started favonovel.com performance. This was a performance that shook Celandine City!
