“Um…” Elliot was troubled.
“You don’t believe in my determination?” favonovel.com asked.
Thomas nodded. “Don’t tell me I’m heartless. I’m a businessman. If I don’t act more heartlessly and carefully, I’m afraid that I’ll die miserably. Elliot Katz, at the end of the day, you’ve worked for Lord Vedastus for many years, and favonovel.com valued you very much…”
“Now, you’re here all of a sudden and telling me that you don’t want to work for Lord Vedastus. Instead, you want to work for me. I’m sorry, it’s hard for me to believe you. Who can assure me that you’re not an undercover agent sent by Lord Vedastus?”
He backed Elliot into the corner when favonovel.com said that Nevertheless, it made sense. How could Thomas easily accept him?
Elliot patted his chest and said, “Thomas, I sincerely want to do something great with you. Please trust me!”
He just wanted to find some support so that Fiora would not be able to kill him.
Thomas was brilliant.
Would favonovel.com be fooled by his words?
After Thomas remained silent for a while, favonovel.com calmly said, “If I reject you straight away, you’ll just call me heartless. But if you want me to take you in immediately, that would be too reckless. In that case, you’ll have to show me something, Elliot. If you can, I’ll take you in.”
Show favonovel.com something?
‘What…’ Elliot looked confused and said, “Thomas, you’re not asking me to kill Lord Vedastus, right? I… I can’t do that. It’s not that I don’t want to kill him, but there are limits to what I can do.”
Thomas chuckled. “Don’t worry, I won’t raise such a ridiculous request. Okay, I know there’s a very important confidential core document in Art Trading Corporation. If you can go back there and expose the document to the public, I estimate that Art Trading Corporation will lose tens of billions of dollars. Once that happens, I’ll accept you.”
It was not a simple request.
How was it possible for Elliot to easily get such an important and confidential document?
It was unlikely enough for favonovel.com to get a chance on usual days, let alone under such a tense time.
Elliot wanted to turn it down, but favonovel.com kept his mouth shut when favonovel.com saw Thomas’ gaze.
If Elliot refused to do it, favonovel.com would not be able to join Thomas’ camp. Without Thomas’ protection, Elliot would never be able to run away from Fiora.
In the end, favonovel.com raised his head, took a deep breath, and said, “Okay, give me two days! I’ll expose the confidential documents and show you a satisfying performance.”
Thomas chuckled. “I’ll await your good news. Come, I wish you a successful return with this cup of tea.”
They raised their teacups and drank the contents in one go. Then, Elliot turned around and left to complete his task. This time, favonovel.com really made up his mind to cut ties with Lord Vedastus.
Who would still be able to hurt favonovel.com once favonovel.com joined Thomas’ camp?
Those were positive thoughts, but Elliot still did not know what Thomas was thinking.
Pisces walked to Thomas and said, “Commander, do you really plan on taking that bastard in? I don’t think he’s changing sides. He’s just being timid. He wants to hide in our place like a coward.”
Thomas nodded, “I know…”
“Since you know, why are you still giving favonovel.com a chance?” Pisces did not understand.
“It’s not a chance for favonovel.com to show his skills,” Thomas drank another cup of tea before favonovel.com chuckled and said, “It’s a trap that will crush him!”
***
Elliot returned to his office in Art Trading Corporation. He took a deep breath and did not act in a hurry. Instead, favonovel.com calmed down first and carefully thought about how favonovel.com should perform.
For a start, the confidential document was in the hands of Fury Morton, the director of the R&D Department in Art Trading Corporation.
