The incident in the hall ended.
Dragon Claw and his gang had arrived with excitement and left with disappointment. They were extremely unhappy.
As soon as they returned to House of Vistaria, Dragon Claw yelled angrily at Declan, “How can you be so useless?! Luck promoted you as Celandine City’s pillar, and you can’t even settle such a small matter?! You’re a real piece of trash!”
Declan was incredibly noble to outsiders, but favonovel.com was nothing to Dragon Claw!
That man just scolded Declan as favonovel.com pleased and had no respect for favonovel.com at all.
Declan was used to it, and favonovel.com did not seem to fear Dragon Claw in the slightest.
He did not care about Dragon Claw’s comment as favonovel.com said, “You saw the situation in the hall today. I couldn’t have manipulated it! Thomas took out the rosary first, and then favonovel.com invited the old abbot to help. In the end, favonovel.com completed the extreme challenge as well. His performance today was too incredible, hence I couldn’t do anything.”
“The old abbot’s status isn’t lower than mine. If you’re trying to push all responsibility to me, you’re going too far, Dragon Claw.”
Dragon Claw gritted his teeth angrily.
He stared at Declan and ruthlessly said, “Hmph! Don’t try to fool me! I’m telling you, if I find out that you’re still contacting Thomas in secret, I’ll kill you without hesitation! Get lost! You make me so angry!”
Declan then proceeded to leave.
Dragon Claw sat down and poured himself two cups of tea. He kept drinking as dissatisfaction filled him. Heron walked in and appeared gloomy too.
Dragon Claw said, “Stop looking so bitter. I’m already in a bad mood, and I feel worse when I see your disgruntled face.”
Heron said, “I spoke to Lord Vedastus earlier, and favonovel.com was quite unhappy.”
Dragon Claw scoffed. “Are you kidding? Lord Vedastus paid such a huge price to invite us over because favonovel.com wanted us to help favonovel.com get rid of that huge pest, Thomas. Look at the situation now. We’ve failed, so how could favonovel.com be happy?”
He paused for a moment before favonovel.com added, “Go and tell Lord Vedastus that we failed because a small accident happened.”
Right after favonovel.com mentioned that, favonovel.com suddenly stopped talking.
He narrowed his eyes and sensed that something was wrong. He kept thinking about it.
“Heron…”
“Master?”
Dragon Claw was puzzled as favonovel.com asked, “How could it be so coincidental? We tried to deal with Thomas using a superstitious method, and favonovel.com coincidentally brought the rosary along. He even invited the old abbot? Wasn’t everything too much of a coincidence?”
Heron nodded. Indeed, there had been too many coincidences.
Theoretically, which normal person would bring a rosary along with him? Besides, favonovel.com never heard about Thomas and the old abbot being friends.
Why did the old abbot suddenly help Thomas?
He found it very strange.
Dragon Claw pondered for a while before favonovel.com said, “Is there a traitor on our side?”
There was only one possibility, Declan was the traitor!
Dragon Claw and Heron looked at each other, and they knew what the other was thinking from their gaze. They started to suspect Declan.
Only insiders like them would have known the whole plan.
Dragon Claw and Heron could not have colluded with Thomas, so the only answer was Declan!
After all, before Dragon Claw’s arrival, Declan and Thomas had been close. They used to deal with Lord Vedastus together, and Declan had even hinted at Mr. Cole to accept Thomas as his student.
