Female Novel
Chapter 342
There was an agreement within the Ancient Martial Arts Family. No matter how intense their internalconflicts were, it was prohibited to kill each other. The Ancient Martial Arts Family Ranking Competitionwas a platform for them to solve their conflicts. More importantly, it was to rank these families!
Abel knew this, so he told Thomas to come to Capitalis. If Kyrie wanted to protect Thomas, Abel couldfight the Travis Family when the time came. Although the Travis Family was strong, so was the FlynnFamily!
Not only did Abel want revenge, but so did Thomas. Olivia was the final straw for him, and he would killanyone who dared lay a finger on her. However, he had to recover for now, so he was no match forAbel. He could only endure it and get his revenge one year later. Not only would he get his revenge onthe Flynn Family, but also the Wilkerson Family. He would never let Leah off the hook.
After they were gone, Thomas calmed himself down.
“Phew!” At that moment, the crowd breathed a sigh of relief as the intimidating aura vanished.
“Hello, Mr. Clifford. I am Kyrie Travis.” Kyrie took the initiative to greet Thomas. “I have heard about youfor a long time, and it looks like they were right. You indeed have a remarkable future ahead of you!”
Yet, Kyrie seemed to have said the wrong words. However, Thomas’ strength was indeed incredible.Even Kyrie didn’t have the power Thomas had when he was the latter’s age. With the strength ofdefeating two families among the Six Greatest Families of Irieson, Thomas would soon be the greatestof all if he had enough time.
“You flatter me, Old Mr. Travis.” Thomas was embarrassed by Travis’ words. After all, he didn’t think hewas that strong. If he had any other choice, he wouldn’t have risked his life and used the forbiddentechnique, nor would he have let the Flynn and Wilkerson families leave unharmed.
Thomas didn’t feel proud of his performance. Instead, he was devastated and felt like he was useless.
Theodore and the rest of Quincy’s friends and students greeted Thomas before leaving. Since theproblem was solved, they should return to their lives.
Kyrie smiled and said, “Let’s talk inside, Mr. Clifford. I have already told the servants to prepare somebeer and delicacies. Today, we will drink until we’re wasted!” He had keen eyesight since he had livedfor a long time. Thus, he knew he should befriend Thomas, a young and capable man. If he got onThomas’ good side, his family would benefit from it. After all, Thomas was a genius, which was theopposite of Gunnar.
Initially, Thomas was going to refuse the offer. However, on second thought, Olivia was fine becausethe Flynn Family had protected her. Moreover, they even helped him today. Thus, it would be impolitefor him to refuse. Hence, he nodded and followed Kyrie to the mansion.
Soon, the table was filled with delicacies. Kyrie didn’t put up an act and kept drinking with the crowd. Inthe meantime, Rafael had a weird expression. He would stare into space sometimes, seeminglytroubled. Thomas noticed this, but he didn’t say anything given the circumstances.
A few minutes later, Rafael’s phone rang. After looking at the caller ID, Rafael notified the others beforeexcusing himself and putting his phone to his ear.
“Is the problem solved?”
“Yes, Mr. Eli. The problem has been solved,” Rafael replied respectfully.
“Alright. Remember, don’t tell him anything about me. Also, if I do not return from the fight, tell him I feelhappy to have a friend like him! Let’s be friends again in the afterlife!”
Rafael’s eyes brimmed with tears when he heard those words. He knew this might be the last phonecall from his master. These family conflicts were getting intense, and one would die if they were notcareful enough. Thus, Rafael could tell that his master was practically arranging his affairs once he wasgone!
