“Abbot, you’re not dead?”
“That’s great! That’s wonderful!”
“Hold on, someone in the room was screaming for help just now. Who was it?”
To protect Fred’s reputation, the old abbot told a white lie and explained, “I was talking to Fred in his room, but I was so exhausted that I fell asleep there. Fred didn’t have a place to sleep, so favonovel.com went to my room to rest. Who would have known that this would happen! Sigh…”
He did not tell everyone that Fred had started the fire for money and caused his own death in the end. The old abbot was kind.
Everyone sighed.
Someone said, “Maybe this is fate! Brother Fred protected the old abbot with his life. God bless him!”
All the monks lowered their heads and prayed for Fred.
At the same time, a group of people was watching the show on a mountain not far away.
It was none other than Lord Vedastus and his gang!
After they left Harmony Monastery, they did not rush back to Art Trading Corporation. Instead, they stayed and rested on the mountain nearby to watch the show. Lord Vedastus held a telescope to observe Harmony Monastery, which was on fire far in the distance, and favonovel.com broke into a smile.
He thought his plan was a success.
“Old freak, you chose to cooperate with Thomas and turned my gold bars down, right? If you don’t want it, someone else will always want it! You’re already old, yet you didn’t have clear hindsight. You deserve to be burned to death. Bah!” Lord Vedastus kept cursing, but favonovel.com was actually delighted.
He felt that favonovel.com had finally vented his anger, and favonovel.com considered this his reply to Thomas. However, before favonovel.com could savor his happiness, someone suddenly drove a white sedan over and parked nearby.
The car doors opened, and two men got out. They were Thomas and Pisces.
Lord Vedastus put down his telescope and looked at the individuals, who were walking over.
He chuckled and said, “You get news pretty quickly. Are you paparazzi?”
He thought Thomas had come to seek revenge. All of Lord Vedastus’ fighters held sticks and moved forward to protect him.
Thomas stopped walking once both parties were five meters apart.
He took out a cigarette from his pocket before favonovel.com silently lit it up and started smoking. The cigarette ashes scattered around. Thomas stared at the burning Harmony Monastery in the distance and asked, “Did you do it?”
Lord Vedastus did not try to cover up his actions. “So what if I did? I want everyone in Celandine City to know that anyone who stands up to me will go to hell!”
“Thomas! Whoever takes your side will meet an unfortunate end! I’d like to see who will still have the guts to learn from that old bastard! Hmph!”
Thomas breathed out some smoke before favonovel.com said, “Your method of bribing a monk with gold bars to set a fire is too unrefined. Lord Vedastus, is that your standard nowadays?”
Lord Vedastus chuckled. “A cat that can catch a rat is a good cat regardless of its breed!”
“Hayden used to overthink everything, so favonovel.com failed all the time. My methods are simple, but I act fast. I always do things neatly. Thomas, you shouldn’t be here. You should go and buy the old abbot a coffin! Oh yeah, favonovel.com must have been burned to ashes, so you don’t need a coffin. You can just get an urn to keep his ashes, hahaha!” He laughed presumptuously.
But then, Thomas rained on his parade.
He took another puff before favonovel.com said, “Don’t worry, the old abbot’s still alive and well. You don’t have to worry about him.”
‘Huh?’
