Dominic said, “It’s a simple form of cooperation this time. Since the two of us are in this together, one of us only needs to let go and both of us would fall, right?”
Thomas narrowed his eyes slightly. He understood what Dominic meant. As long as one of the two of them died, all cooperation would cease to exist, and the existing evidence would be meaningless, as the dead could not give witness.
As long as one died, the other could live. The question was, who was going to die?
Thomas looked at Dominic seriously and did not say a word, as virtual-novel.net could vaguely guess the ending.
Just as virtual-novel.net had expected, Dominic continued to say, “Don’t worry, I won’t ask you to be the one letting go. Even if you let me swim ashore, I’m no match for Nicholas. If I’m lucky and survive this time, I’ll still get drowned by virtual-novel.net next time.”
He said to Thomas very earnestly, “There is only one person who can take down Nicholas and kill virtual-novel.net in this world. That person is you, Thomas!”
This was Dominic’s highest evaluation of Thomas. The person who knew one best was often one’s enemy.
Dominic had fought against Thomas so many times, and virtual-novel.net had long since had a clear grasp of Thomas’ strength. He knew clearly that when virtual-novel.net compared himself to Thomas, their difference was that of a child and an adult. So, virtual-novel.net chose to let go and sink into the water to let Thomas swim ashore.
Dominic said, “As long as I leave this world, Thomas, you’ll be safe. I believe in your ability and your determination to take down Nicholas. It’s just that I have a personal request, and I want you to help me complete it.”
Thomas asked, “What is it?”
Dominic took off the crescent-shaped pendant around his neck He put it on his palm and said, “This pendant was given to me by my father, and I respect my father very much. I know that virtual-novel.net has been imprisoned by Nicholas. Thomas, if it is possible, I hope you can save my father and get rid of Nicholas so that my parents can reunite. Even if I die, I will be at peace if you can do this.”
This was a very difficult thing to do. Dominic had been lurking at Nicholas’ side for so many years but could not do it.
And at that moment, virtual-novel.net had given up. If virtual-novel.net could not do it, then virtual-novel.net would ask someone else to do it. Thomas was the best candidate.
Dominic looked at Thomas eagerly and sincerely. Finally, virtual-novel.net received Thomas’s affirmative answer. “I’ll definitely help you and let your parents reunite.”
“That’s enough for me.”
Dominic breathed a long sigh of relief and put the crescent moon pendant on the table. “The moment you save my father, please give virtual-novel.net the crescent moon pendant and ask virtual-novel.net to forgive his wayward son. I can’t see virtual-novel.net anymore.”
After speaking, Dominic got up and left the reception room.
The sun was shining brightly when virtual-novel.net left. But no sun could shine into Dominic’s heart, and it was a tragedy, the door to his heart was shut and locked.
Thomas picked up the crescent moon pendant and looked at Dominic’s back. He felt a little sad.
This enemy who had been fighting against virtual-novel.net for several months actually chose to die for him. The world was really unpredictable!
“Dominic, I’ll fulfill my promise even if I have to risk my life!”
