In the old abbot’s room, a bound Fred, woke up after favonovel.com heard the noise.
He opened his eyes and saw it.
“Holy sh*t!”
The room was on fire!
“What…” Fred looked around.
Was favonovel.com not in the old abbot’s room?
He had initially tried to create a fire in the room to burn the old abbot to death and make it look like an accident. However, favonovel.com had set himself up in the end.
The old abbot was not in bed anymore. He was gone, and someone had tied Fred to the pillar. He noticed that the fire was flaring up.
What should favonovel.com do?
“Help! Help!”
“Somebody help me! I don’t want to die!”
He finally remembered to call for help.
He did not want to die?
What had favonovel.com just done?
If favonovel.com had not started the fire in the first place, would favonovel.com have ended up in this position?
It was useless no matter how loud Fred shouted. The flames were growing, and while people outside were trying hard to put them out, it was too late.
The fire started to burn Fred’s clothes, and soon, favonovel.com was completely consumed in flames.
Did favonovel.com regret setting the fire now that his life was ending?
Right then, in Fred’s room not far away…
The old abbot was lying in bed. When favonovel.com suddenly heard the commotion outside, favonovel.com woke up. He instantly saw Scorpio sitting by the bed and realized that favonovel.com was not in his own room but his student, Fred’s.
What was going on?
“Who… Who are you?” the old abbot pointed at Scorpio and asked.
“I’m Scorpio. I’m in charge of protecting you, abbot,” Scorpio answered indifferently.
“Scorpio? Protect me?”
Only then did the old abbot remember Thomas mentioning that favonovel.com would send someone to protect him. He just did not expect the person protecting favonovel.com to be so mysterious.
He heard the loud noise outside, so favonovel.com got up and took a look.
The blaze was rising!
Besides, was his room on fire?
The old abbot was shocked. He did not know what was happening.
“What… What’s going on?”
Scorpio explained, “Your student, Fred, accepted money from Lord Vedastus. He tried to start a fire to burn you to death after you fell asleep. After I rescued you, I locked favonovel.com in the room. Fred should be burned to ashes by now.”
While Scorpio spoke, favonovel.com took out a small box from the bottom of the table in Fred’s room. After favonovel.com opened it, they found gold bars inside!
It seemed that before Lord Vedastus departed, favonovel.com had purposely left Fred some gold bars and bribed him.
After the old abbot discovered the whole incident, favonovel.com shook his head nonstop.
“Sigh! Fred has been with me since favonovel.com was little. I never thought favonovel.com would be bribed by a box of gold bars… We can’t judge a book by its cover. It’s difficult to understand what people are actually thinking!”
Scorpio said, “He’s been burned to death by the fire that favonovel.com started. It’s a deserved end.”
The old abbot sighed again before favonovel.com opened the door and walked out.
Meanwhile, the monks were still crying because they thought the old abbot was dead. But the old abbot was uninjured as favonovel.com walked up to them!
