In the chairman’s office of Art Trading Corporation, Lord Vedastus stomped his feet angrily. “What the heck is the number one killer on the leaderboard? He’s trash! He nearly killed Thomas, but he decided to spare Thomas just like that. Damn it!”Lucia, his secretary said, “He still did considerable damage. Thomas is severely injured now, so we still have a chance.”Chance? What chance?Lord Vedastus angrily said, “Do you think the Twelve Golden Zodiacs beside Thomas are nobodies? What kind of people could we send out to kill Thomas? The Twelve Golden Zodiacs are guarding him, and Eric has also arranged for a lot of police officers to protect him. Do you still want to kill Thomas with things in such a state? Are you dreaming?”Lucia did not know what to do either.It was all Odissan’s fault. If he had extended his sword one inch more, he could have killed Thomas.But he did not fatally stab Thomas.When Lord Vedastus thought about it, he was consumed with rage.“Lord Vedastus
The message showed that it was a seventy-four-year-old lady!Lucia was dumbfounded.Was this old lady messing around with them?A top expert like Odissan had failed to kill Thomas. What could a seventy-four-year-old lady do? Seek death?Lucia did not know why Mrs. Morgan would accept the mission. Anyway, she was the only person who was willing to assassinate Thomas.Usually, Lucia would just ignore an old lady like that because to Lucia, meeting her would only be a waste of time.However, with her current desperation, she had to try every option.Meeting the old lady would not cost her anything.Therefore, Lucia invited Mrs. Morgan over and received the old lady in the company's meeting room. Lord Vedastus also came to have a look at the situation.After they met, Lucia sighed heavily.Mrs. Morgan was exactly as described in her information. She was old and hunchbacked. Plus, she had trouble walking.Lucia and Lord Vedastus exchanged glances and shook their heads at the same
When Lord Vedastus heard that, he found it quite reliable. He liked people who worked before receiving their pay.If the task was done well, he would willingly transfer his company to her.If she could not do it, it was all right. He did not need to spend a single cent or suffer any loss.No matter how he looked at it, it was a deal that would not cost him anything.Lord Vedastus nodded. “Excellent! Do what you want. How long will it take before we can see results?”Mrs. Morgan snickered again. “It won’t take a long time. Three days will be sufficient. Thomas is very weak at the moment, and it’s the right time to attack him. But, I need you to do me a favor. I might not be able to handle it alone.”“What is it? Please tell us.”“I need Thomas’ birth date and a drop of his blood.”Lord Vedastus looked at Lucia. “Could you get those two things?”Lucia nodded. “No problem. I gathered Thomas’ information a long time ago, and I already have his birth date. It won't be difficult to
Thomas’ condition was worsening, and it instantly attracted a lot of attention. Everyone in Celandine City was paying attention to the big news.Pisces had invited the most excellent doctors from all over the world, but none of them could do anything.In fact, Thomas himself was the best doctor.Yet, even Thomas was unable to provide a treatment plan for himself, let alone the others.In an instant, the sky in Celandine City became a little dim.Everyone was nervous and anxious. If this continued, something might happen to Thomas, and he would die.Such terrible conditions persisted, from day to night and night to day.Two days passed, but Thomas still did not show any improvement.His complexion became extremely dark, and he was dying.Finally, early in the morning of the third day, Thomas took his last breath and passed away. He had left the world of the living.The God of War died miserably for no reason.News of Thomas’ death filled the headlines of all newspapers, and t
When Lord Vedastus thought about it, the happiest time in his life was actually when he started to earn money and give his family a good life.At that time, he could earn several hundred thousand dollars every month and up to a million annually.They were already very wealthy compared with other normal families. Back then, Lord Vedastus and his family lived their lives without worry, and they loved each other.However, like a snake trying to swallow an elephant, he was not content.Lord Vedastus, who was blinded by power and money, slowly descended into the abyss.His family stopped mattering to him anymore.He could give anything up as long as he had money and power.It was not until a few decades later that he suddenly realized it all amounted to nothing. Only relationships were the most genuine thing in the world.Right then, Lord Vedastus cried like a baby.He fell asleep and dreamed about his daughter.If God gave him a chance to live his life again, he would never choos
The man with the black face stared at Lord Vedastus, whose face was full of tears, and he asked, “Do you regret it now?”Lord Vedastus lowered his head without answering.Did it matter if he regretted his actions now?Could he still get back what he had lost? He was already dead, so he should just receive his punishment. There was no point in overthinking it.However, the man with the black face said, “If I give you a chance to do things over, would you want to continue standing against Thomas or reconcile with your daughter?”A chance to redo everything? Did it exist?Lord Vedastus raised his head and stared at the man with the black face with desperation in his eyes.Once he experienced life and death, he finally understood what the most precious thing in his life was.“I want my daughter.“I want my daughter!”The man with the black face nodded. He swung his hand and shouted, “Turn on the lights!”What?Before Lord Vedastus could figure out what just happened, his surrou
What kind of bullshit was that curse? It was just nonsense!Lord Vedastus shook his head and chuckled in resignation. He was really dumb! He actually believed in such crap like curses.Thomas said, “When people are backed into a corner and run out of options, they'll believe anything. It's the same reason why some people trust those little advertisements on the telephone poles. It’s because they just want to grab onto some little hope. They don’t want to lose it. Lord Vedastus, you’re only human.”When Odissan Solis failed to assassinate Thomas, Lord Vedastus had lost all hope. He thought that nobody would be able to kill Thomas.But Mrs. Morgan suddenly showed up.Usually, Lord Vedastus would not believe someone like Mrs. Morgan, who claimed that she could kill someone with a curse. He would just chase her away.However, in his time of desperation, Mrs. Morgan became Lord Vedastus’ only hope.He knew that it was impossible, but he still chose to trust her.It was a helpless ch
Lord Vedastus looked at Thomas in surprise. For a while, he was at a loss for words as he did not know how to answer.Yes, he just remembered what he had said just now.He had already let go of the hatred, but when he saw Thomas again, he could not help but have that hatred rekindle. Was it really difficult to change one’s character?“What should I do?“What exactly should I do?”Lord Vedastus complained like a child tearfully. He no longer had the demeanor of a king and was just like a schoolboy who failed his exams.Right then, a figure came out and silently came to Lord Vedastus’ side. The figure put a hand on his shoulder.“Dad.”One word. Just one word was enough to make Lord Vedastus tremble.He raised his head and opened his eyes wide to stare at the person in front of him. Then, he was surprised to discover that the person standing in front of him was none other than her daughter, Fiora, whom he had been thinking about all the time!“Fiora! Fiora!”Was this a dre
