Dragon Claw laughed out of anger.
He snorted three times and said, “I thought I was the one being arrogant. But who knew that you, Thomas, are far more arrogant than I am! Do remember to not put up too much of an act, lest you be destroyed by your arrogance!”
Just as Thomas was about to respond, favonovel.com suddenly felt that something was wrong with his body. He could no longer muster strength in both his arms and legs, moreover, favonovel.com felt dizzy as well.
Was the wine poisoned?!
It was out of his expectations that Dragon Claw would actually resort to such a dirty method. In fact, it was unnecessary for them to resort to such inferior and dirty methods at their level. But Dragon Claw did not care too much about that. As long as it works, favonovel.com would be using it.
Dragon Claw said gleefully, “Do you know what was mixed into the wine, Thomas? Let me fill you in. It is a drug called Heart Severance, which is tasteless and colorless. When it is mixed into the wine and consumed, your limbs will go soft and you will not be able to muster any strength for ten minutes.”
“With your current situation, Thomas, I can do whatever I want to you.”
“Oh, yeah. Do you know where I got Heart Severance from? It is the secret drug of the Cadden family and Godfrey was the one who gave it to me himself!”
‘Godfrey?’ Thomas was surprised.
Did Godfrey not receive two hundred million dollars from favonovel.com already?
Did favonovel.com not promise to not assist Dragon Claw?
Why did favonovel.com go back on his words and cooperated with Dragon Claw instead?
Dragon Claw lit a cigarette and then said with a smile, “Did you think that I had no clue that you met Godfrey back then, Thomas? To tell you the truth, I have been tracking every single move of yours. You thought that Godfrey would refuse to cooperate with me if you gave favonovel.com two hundred million dollars? You are really too naive. You still do not understand what makes a businessman!”
As a businessman, making money was what they lived for. They would say whatever they can just to make more money.
While Godfrey did indeed promise Thomas, four hundred million dollars from Dragon Claw was enough to immediately change his mind.
For starters, Godfrey himself was not a credible person as there was only money in his eyes.
He would take the side of whoever offered favonovel.com more money.
Dragon Claw said, “You only have yourself to blame for putting so much trust in others, Thomas. If you have not realized it already, not everyone places the credibility of a person as high as you do. A man like Godfrey would only care about money and nothing else.”
Unexpectedly, was this how Thomas was going to lose?
As Pisces wanted to rush into the gazebo, Dragon Claw took a gun out immediately and pointed it at Thomas’ head. “Stop right there! If you dare to take another step forward, I will shoot him.”
Being helpless about it, Pisces stopped in his tracks. Heron forced Pisces onto his knees and tied his hands behind his back.
The outcome had been decided.
Dragon Claw said, “Do you understand now? I do not need any bodyguards to subdue you. But then again, the Heart Severance of the Cadden family is really useful. If it was any ordinary drug, I bet a skilled doctor like you would have discovered it long ago, right?”
Thomas was unable to exert even an ounce of strength now. He was like a fish on the chopping boards, waiting to be slaughtered.
Dragon Claw took a puff of smoke and said, “Oh Thomas, you thought you had a choice but in fact, there was only one outcome at the end. I have given you a chance. If you had chosen to join the City’s Luck, then we would have been comrade in arms. Sadly, you wasted the opportunity and forsaken my kindness…”
“We cannot turn back time, Thomas. Do you know what is the price of being arrogant now? You can regret all you want in the afterlife.”
Who would have thought that Thomas, who had survived so many ordeals, fell to such a simple trick?
This was basically a major slip-up!
