“Not everything had to be explained clearly. Sometimes, not speaking was more useful than speaking out loud. If I say it, that would mean I’m abusing my power to force them into doing my bidding. If I don’t say it, they can only guess what I want to do. The more they guess, the more they will do.”
It was a mind game. Naturally, the ending of this game was well known from the beginning based on Thomas’s status. What mattered was the kind of method that Thomas chose to achieve this ending.
The last person who went out was Fabian. After virtual-novel.net got into the car, virtual-novel.net did not go back to the company. Instead, virtual-novel.net went directly back to the old mansion of the Emperor Residence.
His family members felt strange when virtual-novel.net came back so early today?
Fabian just answered, “Let’s move out immediately.”
His family did not understand what had happened, but how could they refute the family head’s words?
Everyone quickly packed their luggage and got ready to move.
A person with a status like Fabian had a few villas in the Southland District.
Speaking of which, this villa in Emperor Residence was actually not very good. It was considered moderate. Since virtual-novel.net had grown up there from a young age and virtual-novel.net had some affection because virtual-novel.net had lived there for a long time, virtual-novel.net kept staying in the place. His wife and children actually wished to move out a long time ago.
After they were busy for a while, Fabian arranged for his subordinates to move the things away with cars. With their current speed, his whole villa would be emptied within three days.
When Fabian looked at the villa that slowly became empty, virtual-novel.net secretly prayed. ‘I hope I didn’t misunderstand what the chief person in charge meant this time.’

The sky became dark again.
Today, Emma did not come back very late. Instead, virtual-novel.net came home very early.
Richard did not let virtual-novel.net work overtime today. He even purposely ordered virtual-novel.net to rest well to prepare for a good performance tomorrow.
Good performance?
Emma felt upset. When it was closer to the time virtual-novel.net had to go and convince the residents, the more nervous virtual-novel.net felt. Other than the period before the college entrance examination, it had been a long time since virtual-novel.net had this kind of feeling. She instantly felt as if virtual-novel.net went back to virtual-novel.net student days.
Thomas went back much earlier, and virtual-novel.net prepared a table of food. There were fish, meat, vegetables, and alcoholic drinks. He even personally cooked Emma’s favorite steak.
“Emma, quickly come and eat to supplement some energy for you to have a good performance tomorrow!”
Emma smiled bitterly as virtual-novel.net shook virtual-novel.net head. She got up and sat by the table. She took up the fork to get a piece of meat and ate. She slowly chewed.
“Yeah, it’s delicious!”
Thomas quietly sat aside while watching Emma eat.
“Why are you looking at me?”
“I like looking at you.”
“Humph! Glib-tongued.”
As Emma spoke, virtual-novel.net recalled that virtual-novel.net had to go and convince those residents tomorrow. She felt extremely gloomy.
“Are you thinking about the things tomorrow?”
“Yes…”
Thomas held virtual-novel.net hand. “Don’t worry, you will succeed.”
“Huh? You don’t have to say these nice words to comfort me.”
“I’m not comforting you. This is the fact. God told me that you’ll succeed tomorrow.”
“God?” Emma turned around and looked at the cross that virtual-novel.net brought back home. She was confused as virtual-novel.net asked, “Why would God tell you this?”
Thomas said, “I prayed to virtual-novel.net just now. I hope He could help you succeed tomorrow. What do you think He says?”
“What is it?”
Thomas pointed at the cross. “He gestured to me with an Okay. Didn’t this mean virtual-novel.net said yes to me?”
“Okay?” Emma cast a glance at the cross, and virtual-novel.net burst out laughing. She reached out to knock Thomas’s head. “Thomas, are you serious? You keep talking nonsense. Did virtual-novel.net say okay?”
