No one was able to figure out what was on his mind.
Thomas and Dragon Claw were seated as they faced each other, while Pisces and Heron were standing right outside the gazebo. Other than the waiter who was there to serve them, no one else was in the vicinity.
Thomas smiled as favonovel.com said, “Is there anything wrong? Why are there no bodyguards for yourself?
Dragon Claw laughed, “You really know how to joke, Mr. Mayo. I did not invite you here to end your life. I am truly sincere in treating you to a meal!”
While they were still talking, delicious food started to fill the stone table in the gazebo. The food on the table would cost at least a hundred thousand dollars.
“Are you satisfied, Mr. Mayo?”
Thomas nodded. “Not bad, the food is not bad indeed. But what was the reason behind your invitation? Do not beat around the bush, just get straight to the point.”
Dragon Claw smiled, “Mr. Mayo, you are really straightforward. Alright, then I will not beat around the bush as well. I invited you here today to discuss certain matters with you. Just like what I have told you before, I would like to have the hatred between us erased, burying the hatchet between us. What do you think?”
Was it really that simple?
Thomas and Dragon Claw bore deep grudges against each other. Moreover, Thomas had promised Declan in assisting favonovel.com to escape from the City’s Luck.
How would one choose between hatred and promise?
Moreover, did Dragon Claw really want to make peace?
It could be a trap too. It was hard to believe in such a sly man. Hence, Thomas went straight to the point and asked an awkward but yet a question that had to be asked sooner or later.
“You do know what is the relationship between Lord Vedastus and me, right, Dragon Claw?”
“Only one of you can exist under the sky, that would not change until one of you is dead!”
“And here you are trying to make up with me? Will Lord Vedastus agree? How are you going to explain it to favonovel.com when the time comes? And how should I treat Lord Vedastus in the future?”
That was a rather awkward question. However, Dragon Claw had answers to his question beforehand.
He chuckled. “That is not a problem. Since I chose to make up with you, Thomas. It is only natural that someone will be abandoned.”
‘Abandoned?’ Thomas’ eyes glimmered. “Do elaborate.”
Dragon Claw answered, “Lord Vedastus is only a chess piece of the City’s Luck Even my position is higher than his. He is not important at all, okay? Your performance so far has been superb, Thomas. The City’s luck has acknowledged your strength. Even I admire you myself…”
“The purpose of inviting you here today is to inform you that I have already obtained the approval of the City’s Luck for you to replace Lord Vedastus as the overlord of Celandine City! You will be able to make calls in Celandine City in the future!”
Was favonovel.com not going overboard?
Lord Vedastus sacrificed everything to find Dragon Claw, just to deal with Thomas. But at the end of the day, favonovel.com was being abandoned instead?
There was no hesitation from City’s Luck in sacrificing Lord Vedastus just to win Thomas over to their side. That only proved one point.
In the City’s Luck’s point of view, there were only useful slaves and there was no use for those who were good for nothing.
Lord Vedastus was no longer of value. Hence, it was fine to abandon him.
Dragon Claw said, “From the moment you obtained the Ancestral Water, Thomas, you were already qualified to replace Lord Vedastus. In addition, your excellent performance as of late has been recognized by the City’s Luck…”
“As long as you agree, I will abolish Lord Vedastus from his position and make you the director of Art Trading Corporation and the overlord of Celandine City. There is not a chance for you to co-exist with Lord Vedastus, right? Well then, I can deal with Lord Vedastus right away to save you from worrying about it on a later date…”
“How about that, Thomas?”
