Was the box of gold bars just a gift for God?
Why did it sound so weird?
The old abbot was a little puzzled.
There was a saying that one should never attack friendly people. it was a happy thing that people were donating money to the monastery, but the old abbot had a feeling that it was not so simple.
Just as favonovel.com was about to say something, Lord Vedastus reached out to stop him.
“Abbot, I know that Thomas donated $10,000,000 to Harmony Monastery. Don’t worry, as long as you choose to stand on my side, I’ll donate more…”
That was terrible. He made it sound like the old abbot had chosen to help Thomas only for money. However, that was what Lord Vedastus really thought.
Who the heck was the old abbot?
In his opinion, favonovel.com was just a greedy man who had been bribed with money.
Since Thomas could buy favonovel.com with $10,000,000, Lord Vedastus could obviously buy favonovel.com over with more money!
But favonovel.com was wrong.
Lord Vedastus found out that Thomas had donated $10,000,000, but favonovel.com did not know that Thomas had helped Harmony Monastery cure the ancient tree as well.
The old abbot did not help Thomas only because of the $10,000,000. He cared more about the ancient tree!
Hence, Lord Vedastus was not going to be as good as Thomas. He always took things at face value. Without Hayden by his side, Lord Vedastus acted too recklessly.
Sure enough, the old abbot chuckled, shook his head, and said, “Lord Vedastus, you’ve misunderstood me. I didn’t help Master Mayo because of the $10,000,000 donation, but because…”
“Twenty million dollars!”
Before the old abbot could finish speaking, Lord Vedastus shouted “$20,000,000,” as if favonovel.com was bidding in an auction.
The old abbot was really embarrassed. At the end of the day, favonovel.com was an abbot.
How could favonovel.com become the greedy person who was in Lord Vedastus’ eyes?
“Please mind your words, Lord Vedastus!” The old abbot’s tone changed.
Lord Vedastus extended his hand. “Fifty million dollars!”
“Lord Vedastus…”
“One hundred million dollars!” Lord Vedastus said coldly. “Abbot, please don’t overstep your boundaries. One hundred million dollars is the highest I’m willing to go.”
The old abbot let out a long sigh and kept shaking his head. He knew that favonovel.com could no longer explain anything to Lord Vedastus.
He said, “Lord Vedastus, I won’t take a cent from you. Please take this box of gold bars back with you.”
Lord Vedastus’ expression changed repeatedly, and favonovel.com clenched his fists. He was clearly angry.
“Abbot, have you thought this through?”
“I have made up my mind.”
“Are you sure you want to accept Thomas’ donation and reject my gold bars?”
“Yes.”
“Okay! Abbot, it’s your choice. You took the initiative to go against me! If anything happens, don’t blame me.”
After Lord Vedastus said those cruel things, favonovel.com swung his hand and flipped the altar, splashing wine all over the floor. He left Harmony Monastery in fury, while his large group of subordinates followed him.
When the old abbot saw Lord Vedastus leave angrily, favonovel.com felt anxious. It was not wise to offend such a wicked tyrant.
Thomas walked over and said, “Lord Vedastus is a vicious and selfish person. Abbot, you’ve offended him, therefore, he’ll definitely plot his revenge against you. This whole thing started because of me, so I’ll definitely try my best to protect you.”
The old abbot let out a long sigh. “I never thought that an abbot like me would get involved in such worldly affairs. I want to stay out of it, but it just keeps pulling me in. What a helpless situation!”
No one knew how Lord Vedastus would exact his revenge on the old abbot!
