Chapter 155
Blake jolted in realization. That’s right! Even I can’t defeat Thomas, let alone the family’s hidden forces. Wouldn’t they be sitting ducks?
He berated himself for being so silly as to forget such an important detail! The ten of them wouldn’t have had to die if I thought of this sooner!
The Hinds spent many years training them to become the family’s core strength.
“I know what you’re thinking, Blake. No matter what happens, we must seek vengeance against Thomas! However, we can’t be reckless. I haven’t been wasting my time, you know. I thought of an excellent way to get rid of that b*stard Thomas without bringing any harm to the family!” Jake declared smugly.
He spent several sleepless nights racking his brain before he came up with this plan and was immensely in awe of his own cleverness. He even thought he would’ve beaten Albert Einstein if he had been born sooner.
“Tell me your idea.”
Blake didn’t know what to do anymore. He had always been obsessed with martial arts and paid no attention to anything else. While he was perfectly capable of killing off his opponents, he was no match for Jake when it came to schemes and nefarious plots.
“The key to killing Thomas lies with Olivia! We know what Olivia’s identity is. It’s no secret in Irieson. According to the reports we received, Thomas is currently staying with Olivia. Since they’re always together, why don’t we spread some news about them? We can say that they’re dating and have moved in together and that Olivia has even lost her virginity to Thomas. How do you think the other families of the Six Greatest Families will react?”
Blake’s eyes lit up. “They will kill Thomas no matter what the cost! They might even get so furious that they move against the Pearsons!”
Jake nodded. “That’s right, Blake. When the time comes, it won’t be just Thomas who’s doomed. The entire Pearson Family would be goners, too! Hahaha! Isn’t that exactly what we want?”
Blake was thrilled as he stuck his thumb up at Jake. “Genius! You’re a genius! But the other families aren’t fools. Will they truly believe us? After all, Thomas and Olivia aren’t actually dating.”
“You’re too naive, Blake. It’s almost the day of the sacrifice. I’m sure the six families are extremely sensitive right now. If they want to look into it, so be it. Olivia and Thomas have been getting very close, anyway. Who would believe that nothing’s going on between a young man and a young woman living together?”
Blake nodded excitedly as he thought Jake had a point.
After the events of today, Blake began to see Jake in a whole new light. He finally understood why their late father instructed the two of them to work together to ensure the Hind Family would soar to new heights. They were a perfect complement, with one as the brains and the other as the brawn!
With how powerful Thomas is, we’re not powerful enough to touch him, but that won’t be the case if the six families banded together to attack him! All six families have their own hidden forces and strength. Even if Thomas had nine lives, he wouldn’t stand a chance against the might of the six families!
“Let’s not waste any time, Jake. Get it done right away!”
“Got it, Blake!”
Jake turned to leave as a sinister smirk crept onto his face. You’re done for this time, Thomas. I’ll make sure of it. Otherwise, I’ll eat my own sh*t!Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
He had seen his son die at Thomas’ hands. His hatred for Thomas was more than words could describe. Therefore, he was determined to see to it that Thomas was turned into a pile of ashes!
At 7.30PM, Thomas and Olivia walked out of Keyshire Property, but as soon as they got into the car, Thomas received a call from Quincy.
“Did you need something, Dr. Hofstead?” he asked.
“There’s no time to waste, Thomas. Hurry up and come to the hospital at once. I’ll be waiting for you!”
Quincy sounded panicked. They had a monumental crisis on their hands. Which b*stard was it that started spreading the rumors about Thomas and Olivia being in a relationship?! They’re even claiming that Olivia lost her virginity to him! Isn’t that just a blatant attempt to stir up resentment of the Six Greatest Families toward Thomas? Damn it, Irieson’s going to be thrown into upheaval! Quincy thought.
I am greatly indebted to Thomas; I have just started studying the book ‘The Imperial Acupuncture,’ but my medical skills have already improved! I have to inform Thomas about this impending crisis right away so he can prepare himself for it. But… the rumors sounded so real. Could it be that Thomas and Olivia have already…
As soon as the thought came up, he quickly banished the thought. No! That’s impossible! Others may not know Thomas, but I do! He’s not the kind of man who would be controlled by his lower half!

Meanwhile, Thomas was puzzled. What does he mean by there’s no time left to waste? Did something major happen?
Nevertheless, he couldn’t leave right now since he had to stay with Olivia. She worked hard all day, and it was time for her to rest.
“Is it urgent? Why don’t you just tell me over the phone?”
He wouldn’t mind letting Olivia stay at home alone during the day, but he was too worried to do that at night.
“It’s an extremely serious matter, Thomas! I can’t explain it over the phone. Stop dallying and hurry up!”
Quincy ended the call right after that.
“Oh, well!” Thomas sighed. I guess I’ll have to drop Olivia off at Denver Residence. They should be able to keep her safe.
“Olivia, I’ll drop you off at your grandfather’s place. Stay there for a while. I’ll come and get you once I settle something.”
“Huh? Do you have something to do?” She was taken aback. Why would he still have matters to attend to so late in the day?
“Why don’t you just drop me back home instead?”
“No, I can’t leave you alone at home,” he rejected the idea without hesitation.
“Okay, then. I’ll go along with whatever you decide.”
She smiled sweetly. He cares so much about me. He’s so domineering yet so manly at the same time!
Along the way, Olivia informed Harrison that she would be dropping by for a while. Harrison was so happy that he instructed the household staff to prepare a table full of Olivia’s favorite food.
Thomas drove up to Denver Residence. Olivia got out and waved goodbye. “Drive safe, Thomas. I’ll be waiting.”
“Got it.”
Harrison had complicated feelings as he watched this scene play out before him. Someone of his age could clearly tell that Olivia had developed feelings for Thomas. While Thomas was a good and capable man who treated his granddaughter well, Harrison knew full well that she wasn’t allowed to date anyone!
