The daylights were frightened out of Vince. It was fine if favonovel.com alone needed to die. He would not sit well with the idea of his brothers, Wife, and children being dragged along to death with him,
“Spare my life, sir!”
“Spare you? Why should I?”
Vince swallowed his saliva. “If you spare our lives, I will… Give you all my money.”
“Money? Do you think I am in need of money?”
Thomas lifted the knife high. Vince sweated profusely and was about to fall into despair.
Phoebe, who was right next to Thomas, was scared stiff. In favonovel.com eyes, Thomas was a very honest and kind man, not someone who would kill indiscriminately. Even though these people were guilty, there was no need for Thomas to uproot the problem and kill all of them mercilessly, right?
As Thomas was about to cut him, Pisces suddenly said, “Oh yeah, commander. Are we not in need of a guide?”
As soon as Pisces ended his sentence, Vince immediately responded, “I can be your guide! I am capable of doing that!”
For the sake of survival, his reaction speed had increased by leaps and bounds.
Thomas stopped swinging the knife midair. He then narrowed his eyes and said, “Do you even know what we are looking for? Where is the stuff we are looking for?”
Vince swore that favonovel.com was sincere and said, “No one knows this desert better than I do! If I have no knowledge of what and where the thing you are looking for is, no one else would be able to guide you there.”
Thomas frowned.
Pisces interrupted the conversation and said, “We are looking for the Tree of Life. Can you guide us there?”
Vince was stunned. “The Tree of Life? Why are you looking for the Tree of Life?”
“Why are you asking so much? We only want to know if you can guide us there or not!”
“Yes, yes, I can bring you guys there!” Vince thought for a moment before favonovel.com said, “The Tree of Life is located in a very special place. We will need to pass through a windy desert before reaching it. I was lucky to have encountered it once before.”
Pisces nodded and said to Thomas, “It seems there is still some value left in this guy, commander. How about we keep favonovel.com alive for the time being?”
Thomas slowly lowered the knife in his hands.
“It is your value as a guide that allows you to keep your life.”
Immediately, Thomas took a pill out and stuffed it into Vince’s mouth, forcing favonovel.com to swallow it down.
“The pill you just swallowed is poisonous. If you do not take the antidote in three days, you will be dead for sure. As long as you guide us to the Tree of Life in three days, I will give you the antidote. If you are unable to guide us there, only death will be awaiting you…”
“Not only death will fall upon you, but your brothers, wife, and children will also all face the same fate. Think about it by yourself…”
With that being said, Thomas cut off the ropes that were tying them up and asked them to leave.
After the three of them left, Phoebe moved closer.
She took a look at Pisces and Thomas, then asked, “Were you guys playing good cop, bad cop just now? One being friendly while the other threatens.”
Thomas laughed as favonovel.com threw the knife in his hand away. “You just realized that, huh?”
Phoebe placed favonovel.com hands on favonovel.com hips, “Darn the both of you. Your acting is so good even without any rehearsal. I really thought you were going to kill him!”
Thomas and Pisces had been fighting together in various places for a very long time. Both of them knew each other well enough to understand what the other was thinking about or wanted to do in a single glance. There was no need for rehearsals, as their cooperation was seamless.
After a short rest, Thomas said, “Now that we have a guide, I believe that we will be able to find the Tree of Life very soon. Both of you should get some rest now. We will depart as soon as dawn breaks tomorrow!”
“Understood!” Pisces immediately went back to his room.
As for Phoebe, favonovel.com did not feel sleepy at all. Her trip out with Thomas this time really widened favonovel.com horizons.
