Chapter 1102
“I understand.”
Madelyn nodded.
“Alright now, you’re free to go. I haven’t slept well for the past few days, so I’m going to take a nap innovelbin
my room."
Yaroslav stood up. He did not know if he could fall asleep, but apart from taking a nap, there was
nothing else he could do.
He returned to his room and lay on the bed, but could not fall asleep.
It had been many years since he last felt such anxiety. He closed his eyes, and a million thoughts
flashed through his mind.
Suddenly, as if reminded of something, he jumped off of his bed.
A few days ago, Thomas came and told him about James’ strength. He told him that he would certainly
die at James’ hands. However, he also said in the end that he could survive if he thought of a way.
“Could it be…?”
Yaroslav thought of a possibility.
Thomas must have been hinting at something. He was reminding him to cooperate with James to
survive.
Yaroslav would not have thought so if it was anyone else telling him this. However, this was Thomas
Caden, James’ grandfather.
Even though Thomas had cooperated with the organization before and had some sort of authority, he
was still James’ grandfather.
“Is Thomas trying to remind me that there’s an alternative path?”
He murmured. Then, he immediately called Madelyn.
Madelyn was currently trying to locate James’ whereabouts. She wanted to find an opportunity to
approach him and signal their wish to cooperate with him. Before she could begin her investigation, she
returned immediately upon receiving Yaroslav’s call.
In a room…
Yaroslav was warming his hands on a bonfire. Even so, his body was shivering.
Madelyn walked in. Upon seeing this, she asked, “Mr. Gabriel, are you suffering from a relapse of Frost
Venom?”
Yaroslav shook his head and said, “It’s a chronic disease of mine, so I’m already used to it. Since my
cultivation method is flawed, it causes my body to shiver. By the way, I was reminded of what Thomas
told me.”
“Thomas?”
Madelyn froze.
Yaroslav told her honestly, “Thomas is the Leader’s VIP. He has helped the Leader out before. It was
he who told me that James planned to kill me and his current strength. Not only that, he even said
something else.”
Yaroslav told Madelyn the whole truth.
“Madelyn, is Thomas trying to tell me that our only way out is by cooperating with James? Is Thomas’
objective to annihilate the Leader through James’ hand?”
Madelyn was deep in thought. After a while, she said, “Based on what you said, it’s certainly likely. But
how is Thomas still alive? Isn’t he long dead?”
“You don’t understand. Thomas has been cooperating with the organization the whole time. He’s a
shrewd and cunning man. No one knows what he wants.”
Upon mentioning Thomas, Yaroslav’s expression turned grim.
All this while, he had been meeting him alone.
Thomas was good at concealing his identity. For decades, no one knew of his existence. Even Thomas
could not figure him out. However, he was sure of one thing─Thomas was strong. So strong in fact that
even the Leader might not stand a chance against him.
Upon hearing this, Madelyn said, “Since Thomas has given you the hint, we should simply do as
instructed.”
“But I don’t want to…” Yaroslav said with a frustrated look on his face. “I don’t want to be a pawn. I
want to hold my fate in my own hands.”
Madelyn hurriedly said, “Surviving should be our priority. I’ll find a way to make contact with James.
Then, I will arrange for a secret meeting with him.”
“Got it. But be careful not to let your guard down. The organization’s informants are everywhere. Do not
give yourself away.”
“Understood.”
