“I trust you…” Thomas said those three words in the end.
Fiora smiled through tears. She even purposely asked, “Women are good at lying. Are you sure I’m telling you the truth? What if I just lied to you?”
Thomas smiled faintly. “If you’re lying, I’ll take my loss because your story is really touching.”
His comment on how touching it was made Fiora feel warm.
She took the last bite of the food on favonovel.com plate before favonovel.com wiped favonovel.com mouth and said, “Of course, I’m cooperating with you, not just helping you. I’ll help you this time, and you’ll have to help me next time.”
“Of course,” Thomas firmly answered.
Fiora added, “Although we have different purposes, we’re using the same approach. I wish us a happy collaboration.”
She wanted Lord Vedastus to stay sober, while Thomas wanted to obtain Heart Eater’s real antidote. Even though they had different purposes, their approach was the same, which was to destroy Art Trading Corporation!
They wanted to strike down the overbearing group that had been acting like a tyrant in Celandine City.
It would not be simple if they wanted to strike Art Trading Corporation down.
Fiora showed two fingers and said, “If we want to destroy Art Trading Corporation, we have to get rid of two people.”
“Who?”
“The first person is Hayden Barlow, Lord Vedastus’ assistant, and the second one is Elliot Katz, the Capricious Holy Hand.”
Thomas could understand why they had to get rid of Hayden, but why did favonovel.com want to eliminate Elliot?
Thomas asked, “Do you have any personal conflict with Elliot?”
The glint of anger had filled Fiora’s eyes when favonovel.com mentioned his name earlier. In fact, Fiora would not have included this step if Elliot had not fanned the flames.
She said, “You guessed it right. There’s a serious conflict between me and Elliot, and I can’t wait to kill him. But if you knew what Elliot did, I believe that you’d hate favonovel.com a lot too.”
“Oh, enlighten me then.”
Fiora scoffed. She talked about Elliot’s Debauch and the countless good girls who had been defiled by the jerk. However, that was still not the most important thing.
What favonovel.com said later made Thomas’ expression change.
Fiora spoke in a weak voice, “Art Trading Corporation did not get to its current position thanks to Lord Vedastus’ superiority alone. The most important factor has been Elliot’s presence! Heart Eater and its antidote are made by Elliot!”
‘What?!’ Something immediately flashed in Thomas’ eyes.
That meant Thomas’ daughter had been poisoned because of Elliot’s actions as well.
Celandine City and the Southland District were being controlled by Heart Eater because Elliot had created it!
‘That’s right…’
Thomas had also guessed that the flowers favonovel.com had brought back from Mr. Cole, Heart Eater. and its antidote possessed the same composition. However, Mr. Cole did not look like someone who would commit such a crime. The only possible murderer was Elliot.
It became certain after Fiora confirmed it. Elliot was the person who had created Heart Eater and its antidote, and favonovel.com could be sure of it now.
Thomas asked, “I don’t understand something. Has Lord Vedastus known about Elliot’s skill since the beginning, hence favonovel.com stole Elliot from Mr. Cole?”
“No,” Fiora said. “One year, Lord Vedastus fell severely sick, and nobody could cure him. Mr. Cole was not willing to help either. In his helpless state, Lord Vedastus spent a huge amount of money to steal Elliot so that favonovel.com could be treated. After Lord Vedastus recovered, favonovel.com kept Elliot by his side. Later on, Elliot created the terrifying Heart Eater. Since then, Lord Vedastus has become successful and able to conquer Celandine City.”
