Female Novel
Chapter 285
Thomas’ lips curved into an eerie smile as he announced, “After giving it some thought, I’ve decidednot to let you off!”
“Y-You’re such a liar!” Cornelius cursed as his eyes turned bloodshot.
“A liar? Hahahaha!” Thomas guffawed. “What do you think I’d do? Keeping my word for a group ofb*stards like all of you? Shameless people like you all have no right to demand that I honor my word. I’llonly be trustworthy to my friends, not people like you! Everyone has people they want to protect, and tome, those people are my friends and family members. I don’t care who you are or what kind of powerfulbackground you have. If you dare to harm them, I’ll destroy you!” The smile on Thomas’ facedisappeared, and it was replaced with murderous intent.
Crack! He exerted more force on his hand and broke Cornelius’ neck. Then, he retracted his hand,letting the man collapse to the ground before he shuffled toward Blake.
As Thomas approached him, Blake couldn’t help but tremble, thinking that the man was like a demonwho had just crawled out from hell. He seemed to catch a whiff of death, and as Thomas was gettingcloser, the smell thickened.
He tried to get to his feet, but one of his legs was fractured, so how was he supposed to do that? Apartfrom waiting for his eventual demise, there was nothing else he could do.
Bang! Thomas lifted his leg and forcefully extended it toward Blake’s head, directly ending his life.
For a very long time, Thomas had been giving in to the Hinds, but he didn’t get the peace he wanted.Instead, the Hinds had pushed him over the edge. Left with no choice, Thomas could only destroythem. Other than Blake and Jake, he also had to kill the core members of the Hind Family and themanagers of the Hind Group. He had to destroy all of them. Otherwise, they might prove to be a threatto him in the future.
“A man who achieves great things doesn’t sweat the small stuff. You’ve done a wonderful job.” Thistime, Quincy didn’t stop Thomas. Instead, he complimented his actions.
What allowed a person to achieve greater heights wasn’t their strength or aptitude. Since timeimmemorial, there had been countless geniuses who were touted to be the Best Fighters. However,only a small number of them could reach the top of the pyramid.
That was because most of them were inflexible and soft-hearted, which served as the obstacles to theirroad to success. On the other hand, shamelessness was what made a handful of people successful.
Quincy and the others wouldn’t despise Thomas just because he went back on his word. Instead, theyfelt that someone like him could potentially reach a greater height in the future.
A person should only be trustworthy to his friends, not his foes. Thomas had all the qualities that wouldmake him successful, so his future was bright.
After bidding them farewell, Thomas took the urn with him and left the place in his car. As for the Hindbrothers, Cornelius, and the Hind Residence, they turned into ashes following a fire.
Quincy said to the others with a smile, “Thomas has saved the police a lot of trouble. Taylor told methat the police have been keeping an eye on the Hinds because of the matter regarding Minacia OitoIrieson, but they don’t have any concrete evidence yet. Since Thomas has destroyed the Hinds, thepolice will be at ease for a while.”
John and the others exchanged glances. The Hinds, the Xalmars, and the Yams were the financialbackers behind Minacia Oito Irieson. Since the police had targeted the Hinds, the Xalmars and theYams would be doomed as well.
“Cornelius, Blake, and Jake are dead, so no one else can take charge of the Hind Family. Why don’tthe three of you seize the chance and gobble up the Hinds’ businesses? Certainly, you have to
eliminate the core members of the Hind Family and the loyal managers of the Hind Group as well.Thomas’ intention is to destroy all of them,” Quincy continued.novelbin
Despite his gentle voice, he was drenched in bloodlust, directly announcing the death sentence for allof the Hinds. Faced with the threats from the Mortons, the Peralta Family, and the Elliotts, how werethe Hinds supposed to counterattack when they had no leader? One of the Six Greatest Families ofIrieson, the Hind Family, was bound to disappear from this world.
Before Thomas left, he had talked about this matter with Quincy. He had wanted to destroy theremaining Hinds himself, but Quincy stopped him from doing that. It was because it wasn’t necessaryfor Thomas to carry out such a trivial task personally. The three Greatest Families were going to devourthe Hinds’ businesses anyway, so they could do it for Thomas.
John and the others nodded. Certainly, they wouldn’t refuse such a good chance. Moreover, they wouldtake action as soon as they could. If they didn’t do it immediately, the Yams and the Xalmars wouldmake a move. As such, they couldn’t let the two families snatch the chance away from them.
After bidding each other farewell, they left the Hind Residence.
On his way to the hospital, Quincy received a call. He answered it and placed it beside his ear beforelistening to his subordinate’s report. “We’ve dealt with everything at Green Lake Manor, Dr. Hofstead.All the surveillance footage is destroyed, and no traces are left behind.”
Quincy put on a smile, feeling at ease. Thomas’ job was to destroy the enemies while his task was toerase the traces Thomas had left behind, making sure they wouldn’t get into trouble in the future.
“Examine everything again to make sure all the traces have indeed been wiped out. Then, burn downGreen Lake Manor to destroy everything,” Quincy ordered and hung up.
Meanwhile, Thomas was heading toward the rented house to send the urn back to Chloe and herfather. When he passed by a convenience store, he pulled up his car and bought some tissues andmineral water to cleanse the bloodstains on his figure.
The blood stains belonged to the enemies, not him. Anyway, he had to clean up before he met Chloe.Otherwise, she would be worried. When he was done with that, he leaned against the seat, feelinglethargic. He turned to look at the urn in the passenger’s seat as tears slid down his face.
“I’m sorry for dragging you into this, Mrs. Hahn. It’s my fault that you couldn’t even rest in peace.”
Thomas was full of self-blame and guilt, knowing that he owed it to the Hahns forever. He didn’t thinkhe could ever repay them in his lifetime.
Following that, he stepped on the gas pedal and drove his Maserati away.
As he controlled the steering wheel, he recalled the things he owed to the Hahns. The more he thoughtabout it, the more frustrated he felt. He subconsciously extended his hand into his pocket to get acigarette and ease his sorrow, but to his chagrin, he realized there was no cigarette left.
