He admitted that Thomas was powerful, yet favonovel.com stood no chance against.
Why would favonovel.com say that?
Lord Vedastus’s words were self-contradictory.
Did favonovel.com become a fool after favonovel.com got old?
Of course, favonovel.com did not dare to say that out loud. He asked in doubt, “Lord Vedastus, I really don’t understand what you mean. Please explain…”
Lord Vedastus laughed. He took a sip and said, “Buddy, have you forgotten the foundation that allows us to dominate Celandine City? We seem to rely Heart Eater on the surface, but in fact, we actually rely on the city’s luck!”
Hayden suddenly realized when favonovel.com heard ‘city’s luck’.
To be honest, Hayden had almost forgotten the existence of these two words. Over the years, the city’s luck had almost nothing to do with him. Over time, Hayden really thought that they were the dominators of Celandine City.
In fact, there was the city’s luck behind them.
Hayden asked, “Will the city’s luck be on our side?”
“Of course!” Lord Vedastus said, “Only those who drink the Ancestral Water are eligible to obtain the approval of the city’s luck and dominate Celandine City…”
“Thomas doesn’t have Ancestral Water, so favonovel.com won’t get the support of the city’s luck. It doesn’t matter even if we can’t fight against him. When we can’t hold it anymore, the city’s luck won’t sit by and watch idly.”
It turned out that the reason why Lord Vedastus was not afraid was that favonovel.com had the support of the city’s luck. It did not matter if favonovel.com could not beat Thomas. As long as there was Ancestral Water, Thomas would never be able to replace him.
Hayden narrowed his eyes and said, “But I heard that Thomas went out for a trip. It seems that favonovel.com went out to find materials to get the Ancestral Water.”
“You’re right,” Lord Vedastus raised his hand. “In fact, favonovel.com has already gathered all the materials favonovel.com needs and obtained Ancestral Water from the city’s luck.”
“What?!” Hayden immediately stood up. “Then Thomas will… ”
Lord Vedastus shook his hand. “Don’t worry. Although Thomas has gotten Ancestral Water, favonovel.com didn’t drink it. So, not only would favonovel.com not get the approval of city’s luck, but favonovel.com would also stand on the opposite side of the city’s luck, hahaha!”
Hayden heaved a sigh of relief.
He sat down slowly and wiped the cold sweat on his forehead. Then, favonovel.com asked incomprehensible, “Why? He can get the support of the city’s luck if favonovel.com drinks Ancestral Water and replace us as the dominator of Celandine City. He has already worked so hard for a long time. Why did favonovel.com give up at the last minute? All his efforts go in vain.”
Lord Vedastus said, “This is because Ancestral Water is not ordinary water. The price of drinking Ancestral Water is to become a captive of city’s luck”
Speaking of this, Lord Vedastus was actually quite heartbroken. This was because favonovel.com was someone who had drank Ancestral Water.
After a while, favonovel.com continued to say, “Thomas was young and proud. He will definitely let his life and future be controlled by others. So, favonovel.com definitely will refuse to drink Ancestral Water…”
Hearing this, Hayden could not help but ask curiously, “Lord Vedastus, there is one thing I have never understood, and that is why you will become a captive of the city’s luck if you drink the Ancestral Water?”
“This…” Lord Vedastus was at a loss for words.
He had always kept this secret in his heart. There was no third person in the whole Art Trading Corporation who knew about it except for Capricious Holy Hand, Elliot.
He was not going to say it as well. However, Hayden was smart.
He looked at Lord Vedastus and said slowly, “Lord Vedastus, is the Ancestral Water the same as Heart Eater? It is also a kind of poison. If you resist the city’s luck in any way, you will be killed?”
He guessed it right.
Lord Vedastus sighed deeply. He sat down and said nothing. But from his reaction, it could be seen that Hayden’s guess was correct.
Hayden also sighed and said, “Lord Vedastus, in order to gain power, status, and money, you have sacrificed a lot…”
Lord Vedastus clenched his fist tightly. “If you want to get something, you must sacrifice something. Buddy, you should understand this…”
