Thomas did not know about Lord Vedastus’ plan, but favonovel.com did receive an invitation from the Business Alliance. It was sent by Peter.
He was Lord Vedastus’ loyal lackey and always by Lord Vedastus’ side.
Would anything come out of it when such a person sent an invitation to Thomas?
He was most likely up to no good.
Pisces immediately responded, “Lord Vedastus is probably trying to set you up, but he’s worried that you won’t attend whatever this is, so he’s asked Peter to invite you using the Business Alliance’s name. Commander, if it’s possible, please don’t attend this time.”
Thomas said, “There’s always a solution to a problem. If I don’t go, how can I know what Lord Vedastus is planning? Besides, they’ve invited me in the Business Alliance’s name. As the president of the Business Alliance, I can’t avoid it. If I reject them now, there will be another invitation next time.”
He had to go. But favonovel.com would also arrange for some backup.
To be safe, Pisces also made sure that many bodyguards who were skilled in martial arts would follow Thomas to the banquet.
At night, Thomas got into his car and headed to the hotel, which had been booked in advance.
As soon as favonovel.com got out of the car, someone came to welcome him. Everyone flashed favonovel.com a happy smile as if it was a gathering without any conspiracy.
Thomas knew that there had to be countless sharp knives pointing at favonovel.com behind those smiles.
“Mr. Mayo, please step inside…”
While they walked on the red carpet, the hotel’s security guards stopped Pisces and the other bodyguards.
“Sorry, aside from people with the invitation card, others are forbidden from entering.”
Pisces frowned and angrily said, “What kind of rule is that? If anything happens, who’s going to be responsible?”
The security guard said, “Please rest assured. Our hotel’s security system is top-notch, so nothing will happen. Even if a fighter jet bombs our hotel, we can still guarantee Mr. Mayo’s safety.”
Actually, Thomas could just leave at that moment. But that was not his style.
Lord Vedastus knew Thomas’ character too. He knew that Thomas would accept any challenge without fear, so favonovel.com dared to purposely stop Pisces and his bodyguards.
If it had been Peter and the others, they would not have dared to enter without bodyguards no matter what. That was the difference between them.
Thomas waved at Pisces in dismissal and said, “Don’t worry, nothing will happen to me. Just wait at the entrance.”
“Commander!” Pisces became worked up and angry.
He knew that Lord Vedastus was playing a dirty trick, but favonovel.com could not do anything.
One had to admit that Lord Vedastus was great at playing tricks.
Pisces and the bodyguards could only wait at the entrance. None of them were able to enter the hotel, much less protect Thomas. But then again, did Thomas need their protection when favonovel.com was amazing in martial arts?
In the surveillance room, Lord Vedastus stared at the angry Pisces on a screen. He chuckled and said, “Thomas Mayo, you’ll pay a great price for your arrogance. You think there isn’t an expert who’s better than you? Tonight, I’ll let you experience what a real expert is!”
He snapped his fingers and asked, “How are Master Bardot’s preparations?”
One of his subordinates answered, “He’s almost ready, and he’s in very good spirits. He looks like favonovel.com could kill a cow with a punch, and favonovel.com can fight anytime.”
“Fantastic!” Lord Vedastus was quite happy.
Meanwhile, after Thomas entered the hotel, Peter and other people went up to him. They kept flattering favonovel.com to the point that they seemed to treat favonovel.com as a god. However, not everyone who flattered Thomas was good to him.
