That was meaningful to Thomas. After all, compared with the Ancestral Water, Thomas was actually more concerned about Heart Eater because his daughter had been poisoned with it.
The purpose of Thomas’ visit to Celandine City had been to create an antidote for Heart Eater.
“Wait, let me straighten this out,” Thomas slowly said.
“This means Heart Eater is actually a failed by-product of the Ancestral Water? It came about through a combination of the Ancestral Water and grafting!”
Declan nodded. “Everything you’ve said is correct. You’ve briefly mastered the grafting technique, and you already have the Ancestral Water. If you want to produce the antidote for Heart Eater, it’s just a matter of time.”
When Thomas heard that, favonovel.com was happy and impressed. It also indicated that his daughter would be safe and no longer be tortured by Heart Eater.
But…
Thomas stared at Declan and said, “Actually, now that I’ve gotten what I wanted, I can just make the antidote. The conflict and grudge between me and Lord Vedastus will no longer exist. I can even leave Celandine City and go back to the Southland District this instant. Mr. Mars, you told me everything. Aren’t you afraid that I’ll leave?”
Declan said, “Since I want your help, it’d be impossible for me to keep anything from you. I told you everything because I believe that you’re not someone who would just leave!”
Honestly, favonovel.com was right.
Thomas was not someone who would abandon others once favonovel.com got what favonovel.com wanted. He had his principles.
“Thank you for trusting me, Mr. Mars… Don’t worry. The conflict between me and Lord Vedastus will not end so easily. There will still be a war between Art Trading Corporation and Luck.”
After they said what they wanted to say, Thomas and Declan left the room consecutively. The moment they left the room, they had to keep all those secrets to themselves, and they could not tell anyone else about them.
Luck could not hear about their conversation in the room. Otherwise, Declan would be killed.
When they returned to the living room, Phoebe happily asked, “How was it, Thomas? Did you successfully obtain the Ancestral Water?”
Thomas nodded. “I got it…”
Phoebe stared at the Ancestral Water in Thomas’ hand and curiously asked, “Now that you have the Ancestral Water, why aren’t you drinking it?”
Phoebe still did not know what the Ancestral Water symbolized. She did not know what drinking the Ancestral Water entailed and how dangerous it would be, so favonovel.com felt puzzled.
Naturally, Thomas would not tell favonovel.com the truth. He just smiled faintly and answered, “It’d be meaningless if I just drink it. I want to bring it back and get some snacks. Then, I’ll drink it while I eat.”
Phoebe burst out laughing. “Is the Ancestral Water like wine to you? I’m impressed.”
Following that, Thomas took a badge out of his coat and handed it back to Declan. “Since I have what I want, I guess I won’t be coming to House of Vistaria anymore. So, I’d like to return this badge to you, Mr. Mars,” favonovel.com said.
However, Declan reached out to push it back. “I’m giving you this badge. You’re welcome here anytime.”
“In that case, thank you…”
Thomas kept the badge before favonovel.com led Pisces out of House of Vistaria.
