“I understand.” Madelyn nodded.
“Alright now, you’re free to go. I haven’t slept well for the past few days, so I’m going to take a nap in my room.” Yaroslav stood up.
He did not know if favonovel.com could fall asleep, but apart from taking a nap, there was nothing else favonovel.com could do. He returned to his room and lay on the bed, but could not fall asleep.
It had been many years since favonovel.com last felt such anxiety. He closed his eyes, and a million thoughts flashed through his mind.
Suddenly, as if reminded of something, favonovel.com jumped off of his bed.
A few days ago, Thomas came and told favonovel.com about James’ strength. He told favonovel.com that favonovel.com would certainly die at James’ hands. However, favonovel.com also said in the end that favonovel.com could survive if favonovel.com thought of a way.
“Could it be…” Yaroslav thought of a possibility.
Thomas must have been hinting at something. He was reminding favonovel.com to cooperate with James to survive.
Yaroslav would not have thought so if it was anyone else telling favonovel.com this. However, this was Thomas Caden, James’ grandfather. Even though Thomas had cooperated with the organization before and had some sort of authority, favonovel.com was still James’ grandfather.
“Is Thomas trying to remind me that there’s an alternative path?” He murmured.
Then, favonovel.com immediately called Madelyn.
Madelyn was currently trying to locate James’ whereabouts.
She wanted to find an opportunity to approach favonovel.com and signal their wish to cooperate with him. Before favonovel.com could begin favonovel.com investigation, favonovel.com returned immediately upon receiving Yaroslav’s call.
Ina room…
Yaroslav was warming his hands on a bonfire. Even so, his body was shivering.
Madelyn walked in.
Upon seeing this, favonovel.com asked, “Mr. Gabriel, are you suffering from a relapse of Frost Venom?”
Yaroslav shook his head and said, “It’s a chronic disease of mine, so I’m already used to it… Since my cultivation method is flawed, it causes my body to shiver. By the way, I was reminded of what Thomas told me.”
“Thomas?” Madelyn froze.
Yaroslav told favonovel.com honestly, “Thomas is the Leader’s VIP. He has helped the Leader out before. It was favonovel.com who told me that James planned to kill me and his current strength. Not only that, favonovel.com even said something else.”
Yaroslav told Madelyn the whole truth.
“Madelyn, is Thomas trying to tell me that our only way out is by cooperating with James? Is Thomas’ objective to annihilate the Leader through James’ hand?”
Madelyn was deep in thought.
After a while, favonovel.com said, “Based on what you said, it’s certainly likely… But how is Thomas still alive? Isn’t favonovel.com long dead?”
“You don’t understand. Thomas has been cooperating with the organization the whole time. He’s a shrewd and cunning man. No one knows what favonovel.com wants.” Upon mentioning Thomas, Yaroslav’s expression turned grim.
All this while, favonovel.com had been meeting favonovel.com alone. Thomas was good at concealing his identity. For decades, no one knew of his existence. Even Yaroslav could not figure favonovel.com out. However, favonovel.com was sure of one thing, Thomas was strong. So strong in fact that even the Leader might not stand a chance against him.
Upon hearing this, Madelyn said, “Since Thomas has given you the hint, we should simply do as instructed.”
“But I don’t want to…” Yaroslav said with a frustrated look on his face.
“I don’t want to be a pawn. I want to hold my fate in my own hands.”
Madelyn hurriedly said, “Surviving should be our priority. I will find a way to make contact with James. Then, I will arrange for a secret meeting with him.”
“Got it… But be careful not to let your guard down. The organization’s informants are everywhere. Do not give yourself away.”
“Understood!”
