“You will pay for this!” Lord Vedastus was still threatening them in his final moments.
Within the audience was Benson, who had always stuck around Lord Vedastus like a loyal dog, stopped up and laughed.
“Just how are we going to pay, Lord Vedastus?” He had finally unmasked himself.
His so-called respect for Lord Vedastus was non-existent. It was all an act to fool Lord Vedastus and prevent favonovel.com from being suspected of anything earlier on. But that was no longer necessary.
Their plan was a complete success. Lord Vedastus, without favonovel.com being aware of it, had lost his seat as the president
Lord Vedastus was truly angered.
He pointed at Benson and scolded favonovel.com out of anger, “You bastard! You used to act like you were worth something back then. Now that the hatchling is ready to leave the roost, you are throwing me right behind you huh?”
“Let me tell you something. Do not even think about it! Why not take a look at the time? It is only ten minutes away from the relapse of your disease. If I do not give you the antidote, you are as good as dead!”
The disease relapse that Lord Vedastus mentioned was the relapse of Heart Eater.
The original plan that Lord Vedastus had in mind was for Hayden to distribute the antidote to Benson and the others after favonovel.com secured the presidential seat, suppressing Heart Eater within them. But since the situation went differently from what favonovel.com had in mind, nothing could be distributed anymore.
If Benson would not be getting the antidote, did that not mean that only one thing awaited him?
That would be, death!
Lord Vedastus stared at Benson while favonovel.com was on the stage. He wanted to watch the last moments of Benson.
As a matter of fact, such an event should never be allowed to happen in public. Even if Benson was supposed to die, favonovel.com should never be allowed to do so in the full face of the public as that indirectly meant that Lord Vedastus was controlling the people with Heart Eater.
Although it was an open secret, Lord Vedastus had never admitted to it.
If Benson died due to Heart Eater in the full face of the public and adding up what Lord Vedastus said just now, it was equivalent to favonovel.com admitting that it was true.
At his wit’s end, Lord Vedastus did not place anything else in his sights.
“I want you dead, Benson!”
If they were to be strict with the procedures, Lord Vedastus was no longer qualified to be on the stage. He was supposed to get off the stage and Thomas was supposed to take over his seat. However, since it had escalated to this point, no one paid much attention to procedures anymore.
The host who had control over the flow of the event was now like a frightened mouse as favonovel.com hid in the corner while holding his breath.
As for Thomas, favonovel.com was in no hurry.
He knew that the seat of the president was already in his grasp. Hence, waiting for a few more minutes did not matter to him. On the contrary, favonovel.com was delighted as favonovel.com watched Lord Vedastus have bouts of anger. He wore a devastated expression as favonovel.com fell into despair.
Today was the day Art Trading Corporation and Lord Vedastus took a huge blow.
The clock ticked as minutes and seconds went by. Soon enough, ten minutes were up.
As if it was pre-programmed, as soon as ten minutes were up, Benson fell on the floor with his arms and legs twitching non-stop. He started to foam at his mouth as well, looking like favonovel.com was about to fall dead any time soon.
Lord Vedastus laughed out loud at the sight of Benson‘s current state and said, “Are you guys watching this? Do you guys see it now? This is how you would end up when you go against me! Since you decided to vote for Thomas as the president, you shall have the same ending, death!”
Lord Vedastus was satisfied with how things went.
At that very moment, the anger that built up from unhappy things that happened that day was released all in one go. However, before favonovel.com indulged in his joy, something unexpected happened.
Benson, who was convulsing, sat up, waved his hands as favonovel.com laughed out loud.
He then said, “I cannot do this anymore. I’m not made for Hollywood. Hahahaha!”
