Was this not interesting?
If favonovel.com did not want to expose his identity, favonovel.com should not have come out in the first place. He could just talk on the phone. In the worst situation, favonovel.com could sit behind a screen. When favonovel.com sat among the other two people, favonovel.com was still exposing his identity. No matter what, one of the three men had to be the real district chief.
It was also inappropriate for Thomas to say anything when favonovel.com encountered such a hilarious move. After all, it was Eric’s personal habit, and Thomas had no right to interfere.
“I understand…” Thomas nodded at the three old men and said, “Mr. Wood, I wonder why you called me here at midnight?”
He treated the three old men as one person just as Dynell said.
The old man on the left side said, “Thomas, I’ve called you here at midnight just for one thing… It’s about Aina!”
The old man in the middle said, “Aina exposed Art Trading Corporation’s secret to the public, and everyone in the city is talking about it. They’re saying that Celandine City is already under Art Trading Corporation’s control. As the district chief, I have to interfere!”
Thomas chuckled and said, “Mr. Wood, I believe you should’ve known about this secret, right?”
The old man on the right side said, “Yes, the government already knows what Art Trading Corporation and Lord Vedastus have done with Heart Eater, but we don’t have any evidence. Also, Art Trading Corporation is powerful, so we don’t want to rush into taking action.”
The old man on the left said, “But we have to act now. Aina sacrificed favonovel.com life to show favonovel.com determination. As a government representative, I have to take action! If the government doesn‘t openly stand up to Art Trading Corporation, we’ll be passive. Throughout the years, we’ve been investigating them, but we have not discovered anything. What can we find in such a short time? So, Mr. Mayo, we need your help.”
That was the crux of the discussion!
Of course Eric would not suddenly summon Thomas for no reason. He was so careful because favonovel.com wanted to cooperate with Thomas to deal with Lord Vedastus.
It was what Thomas needed.
Being who favonovel.com was, Eric should already know about the grudge between Thomas and Lord Vedastus, so favonovel.com naturally knew that Thomas did not have a reason to reject the cooperation either.
The old man in the middle said, “My current plan is to let the government pay Art Trading Corporation a visit and investigate it. In reality, that’s just to distract them. The government’s investigation will definitely end in failure, but it will get Lord Vedastus to let his guard down. Our real focus is on Heart Eater and Aina’s dead body!”
The old man on the right said, “Thomas, what I need you to do is uncover the hidden information in Aina’s body and figure out Heart Eater when the government covers up for you! Of course, if you need anything, you can just tell me. I’ll ask Dynell to give you the contact method.”
Thomas nodded. “No problem, I need a collaboration like this as well. Since the government has my back, I can be bolder and at ease as I figure out Heart Eater’s secret. I’ll let Lord Vedastus, that sly person, expose himself sooner or later!”
Halfway through, Thomas suddenly asked, “My only concern is, what will happen with Luck?”
The three old men suddenly became stunned.
A while later, the old man in the middle asked, “What does this have to do with Luck?”
Thomas smiled faintly as favonovel.com said, “I heard that Lord Vedastus is the ruler who drank Ancestral Water and obtained Luck’s recognition. If I expose his secret and intend to overturn his position as the ruler, will Luck stand by? I didn’t drink Ancestral Water, but will this move against Luck be appropriate?”
His explanation made the three old men become lost in their thoughts. Although it seemed superstitious, everyone in Celandine City believed that Luck existed. If Thomas struck Lord Vedastus down by force, it would be inappropriate to go against Luck.
After remaining silent for a while, the old man on the left said, “There is one more week until the new Luck Ceremony will start. At that time, we will try to get a new person to drink Ancestral Water. As long as there is someone who can replace Lord Vedastus, everything can be easily handled.”
