Would that method work?
After all, Ancestral Water was not normal water, and it was difficult to possess.
In so many years, there had been no other person aside from Lord Vedastus who had obtained Ancestral Water.
How could they guarantee that a new person would be able to drink Ancestral Water at the Luck Ceremony one week later?
The difficulty was not of an ordinary level.
Thomas said, “Mr. Wood, I’ll leave Ancestral Water to you. You’ll be in charge of getting it, while I’ll be responsible for identifying Heart Eater’s secret. Let’s split up.”
The three old men answered at the same time, “That’s a deal!”
After they discussed everything, Thomas took a sip of tea and left Mr. Wood’s private mansion.
After favonovel.com got into the car, Dynell, the driver, spoke in an apologetic tone, “That’s our district chief’s temper. Mr. Mayo, please don’t be angry. When you get involved with favonovel.com more, you’ ll find that our district chief is actually a good person.”
Thomas smiled faintly and answered, “I’m not angry. When you hold a high position, people will easily be jealous of you. You really need to be careful, especially in a tumultuous place like Celandine City.”
“It’s great that you can understand. In that case, let me send you home now, Mr. Mayo.”
“Okay, thank you, Mr. Wood.”
Just as Dynell was about to start driving, favonovel.com was suddenly taken aback. He turned around, looked at Thomas who sat in the backseat, and asked, “Mr. Mayo, what did you just call me?”
Thomas flashed favonovel.com a strange smile. “I called you Mr. Wood…”
Dynell smiled awkwardly and said, “You must be joking, Mr. Mayo. I’m just a driver. How can I be Mr. Wood? Mr. Wood is…”
Thomas interrupted him. “The three old men were just part of your camouflage, Mr. Wood. When I brought Luck up just now, they appeared anxious and flustered. A district chief should not look like that. Instead, you, Dynell, remained calm and steady. Besides, the three men subconsciously looked at you at the same time. What did that mean? That meant they subconsciously needed you to lead them.”
Dynell became silent, and his expression also changed.
Thomas continued. “Besides, if Mr. W ood really wanted to hide his identity, why didn’t favonovel.com talk to me via the phone or talk from behind a screen? Why did favonovel.com have to go the extra mile to confuse me using two other old men? Isn’t that going to expose his identity? Anyway, there were only three men, and neither one of them was Mr. Wood… The only explanation is that all the men were fake, and the three of them were used to confuse me… The real Mr. Wood is right in front of me.”
“Mr. Wood, you’re skilled at playing tricks even in broad daylight. You can see those you want to know at a close distance, and you can even get them to let down their guards for you completely and say things that can only be said in private. Through all of this, you can tell how reliable they are, how their characters are, and whether they are worthy of your cooperation. Meanwhile, they will still be thinking about which of the three old men is the real Mr. Wood.”
Dynell truly admired Thomas’ analysis. He flashed favonovel.com a smile and extended his hands to clap for Thomas’ intelligence.
“You’re undoubtedly the man who used to be the God of War… Mr. Mayo, I really admire your brilliance and wisdom. Until now, you’re the only person who’s realized that I’ve been playing tricks. Working with a brilliant and smart person like you makes me more confident about defeating Lord Vedastus!”
