Chapter 196
Chapter 196
Even if they were reluctant to accept the current situation, it was a fact that the men had been killed. What’s the use of getting worked up? Thomas didn’t regret killing Terrence and Norman. After all, they were the ones who attacked Olivia first. If it weren’t for his Blood of the Blazing Sun, Olivia would have already met a tragic end.
“Now that you all know that I killed Terrence and Norman, I won’t hide it from you anymore. I considered Olivia my friend. Don’t worry, she is just a friend. I haven’t fallen in love with her, at least not yet. Whether we will become a couple in the future remains uncertain. As for what you mentioned about how there is no need to protect her or treat her well to such an extent… I’m sorry, but I can’t agree with that. I once witnessed my close friend die in front of me, and the reason for all of that was my own incompetence. Since that incident, I swore that no one can harm my friends, not even a hair on their body, unless I’m dead.
“Olivia is my friend, and I will protect her! It doesn’t matter who it is; as long as someone dares to have any ill intentions toward her, I will kill them regardless of who they are. Also, I know about her being a sacrifice for the Six Greatest Families of Irieson. You don’t need to persuade me. I am already doing what I can to prevent her from becoming a sacrifice.
“The frost poison in her body will completely disappear in another two months. It should have already disappeared these past few days, but that fox Terrence pretended to be sick and deceived Olivia into returning home before he replaced her with someone who looks exactly like her, making Olivia stop taking her medicine for two days. If it weren’t for me using a secret technique last night, she might have already died! And that old thief shamelessly transferred half of Keyshire Property’s business to Pearson Group. Would you not have killed him if you were in my position?”
The more Thomas spoke, the colder his tone became. It got to the point that Quincy and the others shivered involuntarily at his last sentence.
If time could be reversed, Thomas would definitely kill Terrence again! And this time, he wouldn’t let him die so easily. He wanted to torture and kill him, only then could he relieve the hatred in his heart!
What is the point of having people like Terrence and Norman in this world anyway? No one gives a sh*t about the damned “family interests”. If any of them is willing to become a sacrifice, then go ahead, but if that person happens to be Olivia, that’s not going to happen on my watch!
I’ll make sure anyone who dares to lay a finger on Olivia pays with their life!
“Uh…”
Quincy and the others were astounded upon hearing Thomas’ words. With their mouths gaping open, they stared at him with incredulous expressions.
It wasn’t their fault, really. It was Thomas’ words that contained too much information!
Samuel was the first to regain his composure after a long while. In a shaky voice, he asked, “Thomas, do you have any idea what consequences your actions will bring?”
“Exactly!” John chimed in, “Thomas, I’m sure you’ve also heard about what makes the Six Greatest Families of Irieson so fearsome. It’s not just how powerful they look, but the fact that they have a group of old foxes backing them up. Olivia becoming a sacrifice is the rule of the Six Greatest Families! Now that you have gotten in the way of their rule, do you intend to openly confront the Six Greatest Families of Irieson on your own?”
John had heard of Thomas’ exceptional medical skills, but he never imagined that they had reached such a profound level. Thomas didn’t even have a problem getting rid of the frost poison in Olivia’s body!
But did he not consider what could end up happening to him before he did the things he did?
He is going to get himself killed!
Thomas held a cigarette between his lips, lit it, and took a deep drag. “What’s so scary about going against the Six Greatest Families? I’m right here. If anyone wants my life, come and take it. If they can manage to, go ahead and take my life. If they can’t, I’ll kill them. It’s as simple as that. I didn’t hesitate to kill even the core members of the Pearson Family. It’s going to be the same for the other five families! In short, there is only one thing I have to say—I’ll kill whoever dares to touch Olivia!”
Even though John and the others were men well acquainted with the ways of the world, they were still astounded by Thomas’ arrogance.
He doesn’t even regard the Six Greatest Families with any importance. He is trying to climb to the very top? Not even gravity can hold him down anymore!
Then again, he had the right to be arrogant. Even Duban, the martial arts expert of the Pearson Family, was killed by him. The Five Greatest Families would have to think twice even if they wanted to take action against him.
Quincy poured a glass of water and took a sip. He then asked, “Have you made up your mind?”
Thomas nodded.
Seeing this, the three of them shook their heads and smiled bitterly. Thomas was clearly declaring that he would single-handedly confront the Six Greatest Families!
“What are your chances of winning?” John pondered for a moment before asking.
Terrence was just too greedy. Since he dared to make a move against Keyshire Property, it was understandable that Thomas killed him. John didn’t know what the Peralta Family and Quincy were thinking, but if Thomas truly intended to openly oppose the Six Greatest Families, the Morton Family
would not stand idly by. John silently scolded, Six Greatest Families, I’ve been displeased with you for a long time now!
After John said that, both Quincy and Samuel stared intently at Thomas, waiting for his answer.
They were eager to know if Thomas was confident about his decision.
Keyshire Property was the undisputed leader in the real estate industry in Irieson!
The former CEO, Rafael Mazer, was an enigmatic figure. Even today, no one knew his background. Yet, with just one phone call, Thomas had made Rafael come and submit himself, ultimately handing over Keyshire Property to Thomas.
This showed that Thomas held some hidden cards that few knew about.
Thomas shook his head slightly. “I’m not sure how likely I am to succeed.”
Thomas had no idea about the true strength of the Six Greatest Families, let alone the old foxes supporting them from behind. He couldn’t provide an answer because he knew nothing about them.
“What?” John and the other men exchanged glances. The Six Greatest Families were not to be taken lightly. How was Thomas supposed to go against them if he didn’t even know how likely he was to succeed?
“Thomas,” Quincy sighed, “others may fear the Six Greatest Families, but I don’t. From today onwards, I will stand on your side. Just say the word if you need anything. Even the Six Greatest Families have to show me respect!” NôvelDrama.Org © content.
He owed Thomas a great debt of gratitude. The book ‘The Imperial Acupuncture’ had greatly benefited him, and his medical skills made remarkable progress. Just based on this favor, he was willing to step
forward to help Thomas.
“I am far inferior to you in terms of medical skills. Since you have already treated Olivia, I won’t ask too much. You alone are enough to help her recover.”
