Thomas nodded. “Okay, I’ll head to Octopole Arena now.”
The doctor quickly added, “Mr. Mayo, Octopole Arena is a martial arts center, so people there are more direct in the way they do things and speak. When you get there, you don’t have to beat around the bush. Also, they usually don’t let outsiders use their ancestral ointment, so they might turn you down. You have to be mentally prepared.”
“Okay, I got it.” Thomas stood up.
“Please take good care of Mr. Porter. I’ll definitely get the ancestral ointment from Octopole Arena…”
After favonovel.com said that, favonovel.com turned around and left the ward.
Thomas did not go directly to Octopole Arena. Instead, favonovel.com went to Pisces to prepare some gifts. He was going to ask them for help, so favonovel.com could not go over empty-handed.
There were three kinds of gifts, and each was extremely valuable. Thomas wanted to express his full sincerity to obtain the ointment.
Pisces said, “There should be no problem for you to obtain a bottle of ointment with these three gifts.”
However, Thomas was quite worried, and favonovel.com said, “Not really. People who practice martial arts aren’t just any regular people. Most of the time, they take the reputation and inheritance more seriously than their lives. If they’re forbidden from lending the ancestral ointment to outsiders, I’m afraid it’ll be useless no matter how much money we give them.”
This trip depended on their luck…

At the same time, Dragon Claw went back to House of Vistaria.
As soon as favonovel.com returned, favonovel.com went to the Temple and saw two figures on the huge screen.
They were not Luck, but Dragon Scale and Dragon Head, who were on the same level as Dragon Claw.
“Dragon Claw, your recent performance has really disappointed Luck…”
It was a man’s voice, and it belonged to Dragon Head!
“You’ve failed several times, and you can’t even get a hold of the small Celandine City. How can you expect to conquer the world?”
This time, it was a woman’s voice, and it came from Dragon Scale!
Dragon Claw wore a cold and profound expression as favonovel.com said, “I don’t need you to teach me a lesson. I just failed a few times. Is it such a big deal? As long as I can get rid of Thomas at the end of the day and allow Luck to control Celandine City, all my past mistakes won’t matter!”
The world only focused on results, not the process.
Dragon Head said, “If you can really do it, everything will be fine. But if you can’t, you won’t qualify to be on the same level as us anymore.”
Actually, Dragon Head and Dragon Scale had always looked down on Dragon Claw. Among the three of them, the other two people had been born in upper class families, so they had entered the world with a higher status. Dragon Claw was the only one who had come from the working class. Thanks to his immensely hard work, Luck made an exception to promote him.
The three of them were not in the same social class, hence they naturally could not hang out together.
Dragon Scale reminded him, “Dragon Claw, you only have one week left. If you can’t eliminate Thomas within a week, get ready to be abandoned.”
When Dragon Claw heard that, his heart trembled.
He did not doubt the authenticity of those words because favonovel.com had seen too many examples.
Luck had made an exception to promote Dragon Claw because of his special contribution, so Luck could also demote favonovel.com because of his incompetence. Luck could even abandon him.
To Luck, there were only useful lackeys and useless trash. No affection existed!
“You better look out for yourself.”
After that last sentence, Dragon Head, as well as Dragon Scale, disappeared, and the big screen became dark.
Dragon Claw scoffed before favonovel.com turned around and left.
He had failed several times, and now, they were forcing favonovel.com into a corner where favonovel.com could not fail anymore. This time, favonovel.com had to go all out and fight Thomas with his life!
