When Dragon Scale saw the dart on her belly, she was in so much pain that she became speechless. Ever since she was born, she had never suffered such a severe injury.It hurt terribly.Death was coming to her, and she knew that she could not escape.Nevertheless, before she died, she wanted to drag him along with her!Dragon Scale used all her might to cut Dragon Claw’s neck with her blade, but Dragon Claw did not give her the chance. He just raised his arm and threw out a second dart.The two of them faced each other, and the dart traveled a short distance. One could imagine its speed, strength, and precision.The dart pierced Dragon Scale’s head mercilessly, and she instantly lost her life. Thud! She fell to the ground and died.Alas, she still lost to Dragon Claw.In a regular fight, Dragon Scale could have easily defeated Dragon Claw with her secret ability.But Dragon Claw was different today.Dragon Claw’s mind was filled with hatred. He was no longer “a person,” but a
In Food and Medicine Hall, Thomas sat in a chair, held a black ink pen, and wrote down three names on a clean white paper. They were Luck, Dragon Head, and Lord Vedastus. These three people were the last three hurdles that Thomas wanted to overcome.Judging from the current situation, Lord Vedastus was already falling apart, and Art Trading Corporation had already been taken down by people in Celandine City, so he could not cause any stir. As long as he did not take any extreme measures, Thomas basically did not have to worry about him. Meanwhile, Luck was the mastermind behind everything. Based on the information provided by Eric, the district chief, Luck was a single person, but also an organization, and that meant that Luck himself was a one-man organization. The organization had existed for more than one thousand years, and they had even planted their people in a dozen cities in the country. There would be someone like Lord Vedastus in each city. If Thomas dealt with
“Pisces, find the map of the industrial wasteland.”Pisces nodded. “I’ll do it now.”In less than ten minutes, Pisces walked over with a big map. After he spread it out, he put it on the table. It was the map of the industrial wasteland that Dragon Head wanted to bid on.What kind of secret could be hidden on this land for Dragon Head to want it desperately?A few of them studied the map, but they could not find anything for a time.The land was really remote and desolate. Plus, the equipment and facilities in the surrounding area were terrible.Use the land for a plantation? No, its salinity was too high, so nothing could be planted there.Build houses there? There were no facilities like hospitals, schools, banks, or even any life support. Instead, there were a lot of chemical plants, so building houses there would definitely cause some losses.At this time, Thomas noticed a sign, [HX].This sign showed up in many places around the factories.“Find out what this sign means.
Two days passed in the blink of an eye. Thomas came to the auction, and Pisces followed him.As expected, they met the man who was causing them trouble, Dragon Head!“Hey, Mr. Mayo, why are you here?” Dragon Head looked very surprised, but anyone would have been able to tell that he was pretending. Would his planted agents not know that Thomas would compete against him for the land?Thomas’ reply was also quite tough as he directly refuted Dragon Head.“I’ll be there no matter where you are.”No matter what Dragon Head wanted to do, Thomas would not let him achieve it successfully. Why did Thomas sound like the bad guy?Dragon Head chuckled and just said, “Wow, I have to be extra careful when I go to the restroom so that I won’t choke you with my smell. Haha!”He laughed as he walked away from Thomas.Aside from Dragon Head, dozens of large enterprises had attended the auction, including foreign enterprises that were rich in resources.But they were just there to join the fun.
Six billion was an astronomical figure. Would any enterprise be able to afford it? Even Art Trading Corporation, the tyrant of Celandine City, could barely afford it.The number made everyone’s face turn pale in shock.It was putting oneself at risk.They did not understand why Thomas would do that. After all, this industrial wasteland did not have any development value. It could not be used for planting or building construction. If he bought the land, it would be useless.Did he need to spend $6,000,000,000 to buy it?The host was also shocked. “Mr. Mayo, are you sure you want to place a bid of $6,000,000,000 for the industrial wasteland?” he asked in a trembling voice.Thomas did not back down in fear.He gently nodded. “I’m sure.”Phew!The host breathed a long sigh before he raised his microphone and said, “Six billion dollars from Mr. Mayo for the land. May I know if anyone wants to raise the price again?”He was saying that to Dragon Head, not the others.The host had
Dragon Head left the site arrogantly. He was victorious in this battle, as he had framed Thomas.The people around also cast different gazes at Thomas.Some mocked him, some pitied him, while others were indifferent.In this huge gamble, Thomas had lost completely.Was that really the case?Forty minutes later, Thomas returned to Food and Medicine Hall. He silently walked to an empty table and sat down. Pisces had been by Thomas’ side, but he dared not say a word.They had lost terribly this time.It was $6,000,000,000!They had bought useless land with no value at all, falling into Dragon Head’s trap.Most importantly, if they encountered the same situation again, what should they do? Should they still stop Dragon Head?If Dragon Head attempted to do more bad things, should Thomas still put in the effort to stop him?If Thomas did not stop Dragon Head, would he not become overconfident?However, if Thomas stopped him, it was likely that Thomas would encounter a situation l
Disney was the dominating company in the world. It contributed to every industry, including the film industry, IP development, and resorts. Its theme parks were even welcomed by people around the world!Disney only owned a few theme parks in the whole country, and there were none in Celandine City.Unexpectedly, Thomas had managed to ask the person, who was in charge of Disney in their country, out for a meal.Pisces knew how important this meal was.If the wasteland could be developed into Disneyland, they would not have spent the $6,000,000,000 in vain. Instead, they would be earning a lot!Not only Thomas would profit, but Celandine City would too.It would become a signature of Celandine City. After all, only a few cities in the country had a Disneyland park, so this was a top project.It was an impressive endeavor.Was such an enormous project going to be discussed in such a small restaurant?If Pisces had not seen it with his own eyes, he would not have dared to believe
In House of Vistaria’s lobby, Dragon Head held a glass of red wine. He looked at the redness of the wine as he drank it. That was his favorite color.Lord Vedastus, who was sitting at the side, felt extremely happy too.After such a long time, they finally managed to set Thomas up. It gave him great joy!After all, ever since Thomas came to Celandine City, Lord Vedastus had basically been passively attacked. Whenever he tried to fight Thomas, Thomas would ruthlessly teach him a lesson.This time, he had finally avenged himself.They had made Thomas lose $6,000,000,000 in one sitting. Losing such a great amount of money was not a piece of cake. Even Thomas would not be able to handle it.Lord Vedastus smiled and said, “No wonder people say that you’re Luck’s most trusted subordinate and the strongest member in the organization, Dragon Head. I used to doubt it, but I really believed it this time.“You did what Dragon Scale and Dragon Claw couldn’t do. Besides, I admire you because
