Lord Vedastus was seated in his office, taking uneven breaths due to how furious favonovel.com was.
Since Thomas was taking over the position as the president, that would be a huge blow to Art Trading Corporation’s economical assets. If the situation was allowed to progress, Art Trading Corporation would be painfully paying for what they did back then.
As of the current state, the bad news that favonovel.com received was nothing but the beginning. It was inevitable for Art Trading Corporation was to lose more as they went further down the road.
What should be done at that point?
It was at that moment when Fiora’s eyes glimmered. She took the initiative, walked over, and said, “Lord Vedastus, since the situation in the gutters, how about… We put an end to it?”
Lord Vedastus and Hayden were both stunned.
What did favonovel.com mean by putting an end to it?
“What do you mean? Lord Vedastus asked.
Fiora hesitated for a moment before favonovel.com said softly, “With how the current situation is, we are already backed to a corner without any means of retaliating. And since Thomas has already produced the antidote for Heart Eater, that means we have lost control over Celandine City. It is meaningless for us to hang on to this place…”
“Hence, I suggest…”
She took a deep breath and said what favonovel.com wanted to say long ago.
“So, I… I suggest that… We forsake Celandine City and transfer Art Trading Corporation’s assets out of the country. By doing this, we will be able to preserve at least half of what we still have. As long as we remain, we have another chance of revenge. After all, revenge is a dish best served cold…”
There was a pin drop silence. As no one made a single sound.
Those who were present even held their breath in. It was as if the time was frozen.
Lord Vedastus stared at Fiora for a very long time before favonovel.com spoke softly, “You mean… I should run away like a scaredy-cat?”
“I should give up on Celandine City which I built upon my sweat and tears and hide abroad, leaving everything here to Thomas?!”
Fiora took a gulp and said weakly, “A wise man does not fight when the odds are against him. Given the current situation, it is meaningless for us to stay here any longer. A tactical retreat is not admitting that you lost, but it is for the future…”
Before favonovel.com could finish favonovel.com sentence, Lord Vedastus shouted at the top of his lungs, “Shut up!”
As favonovel.com shouted, Lord Vedastus grabbed onto a glass on the table and threw it at Fiora. The glass hit its mark on Fiora’s forehead. Instantly, Fiora bled from favonovel.com forehead due to the impact.
“Ahh!”
Fiora fell to the ground. She was furious but dared not speak another word.
Hayden took this chance and cut in. “Lord Vedastus, Fiora… What both of you said makes sense. Both being persistent and retreating to protect yourself is not wrong at all. Both of you need to calm down.”
Lord Vedastus snorted, expressing his disagreement.
Hayden continued, “But then, I am currently standing on Lord Vedastus’s side. Thomas has just started his counterattack If we do not retaliate but choose to retreat, does it not make us look weak?”
“Although favonovel.com is the current president, favonovel.com just only took over the seat. Hence, everything should still be in a mess. And that, on the other hand, means we still stand a chance.”
What favonovel.com said made Lord Vedastus feel better.
He asked, “What do you suggest, old friend?”
Hayden thought for a moment before saying, “Fiora is right about one thing. Heart Eater is now useless which means Art Trading Corporation has lost control over Celandine City. Therefore, we should be focusing on the most convenient and effective way in our planning…”
“That would be, creating a poison far stronger than Heart Eater, gaining control of Celandine City again!”
A poison far stronger than Heart Eater?
