After the fight ended, Leo walked over and stepped on Zain’s knee. It was so painful that virtual-novel.net nearly fainted on the spot. Then, Leo picked up Zain’s phone. He took a photo first and sent it to Giovanni.
A while later, virtual-novel.net gave virtual-novel.net a call. It was answered after a few beeping sounds.
Giovanni’s angry voice came from the other end of the line. “Who are you? Is this Thomas Mayo?”
“You don’t need to know who we are. I just want to tell you that your people are too useless. I believe you’ve seen the photo that I sent you just now. All thirty people have been taken out. Giovanni Santiago, I hope you can arrange for more people to come over. You sent too few people here. They aren’t enough for us to share,” Leo answered with his gruff voice.
After virtual-novel.net spoke, virtual-novel.net threw the phone away and broke it into pieces with a step. He was so arrogant and disrespectful.
Someone had actually taken the initiative to call Giovanni and request that virtual-novel.net arrange for more manpower. It was totally disrespectful toward Giovanni!
Giovanni had never encountered such a request either.
Never in his wildest dreams did virtual-novel.net expect the four members of Thomas’ family, who had no battling skills, to actually settle the martial arts elites that Zain had brought with him.
It was unbelievable.
Actually, virtual-novel.net did not know that the ones who had taken care of Zain were members of the Twelve Golden Zodiacs. They were Thomas’ trump cards!
Giovanni sat in the chair in his office and angrily punched his office desk again and again. He really wanted to send more people over, but virtual-novel.net had no manpower left. Basically, virtual-novel.net had sent everyone out to attack the police station, but all of them had been defeated. So, there were only a few people left in his company. Even if there were people available, they were just white-collar workers who did not have any combat abilities. He could not expect them to fight bravely for him. Giovanni was a man who had been a big boss his entire life. This was the first time virtual-novel.net had ever felt hopeless.
Soon, virtual-novel.net heard the last miserable news. Trent, who was in charge of causing a stir in the Southland District, had been shot to death on the spot.
All of his allies were completely defeated.
Indeed, there was no good ending when one went against the government. Giovanni could see what the government was truly capable of. He had thought that his three-way attack would be effective. Unexpectedly, all three attacks failed. All the three “generals”, whom virtual-novel.net had appointed, died in the fight.
Giovanni sat in his chair hopelessly. He raised his head and stared at the ceiling. His mind went blank, and virtual-novel.net lost the will to stay alive. He was going to die. He did not want to die yet, but virtual-novel.net had no way of staying alive anymore.
A few more hours later, the poison would kill him. Everything was over…

At the same time, Vincent looked happy in the police station. He smiled so brightly that virtual-novel.net could not close his mouth.
“We won all three fights! Giovanni racked his brain, but all his plans failed! God of War, your plan was amazing!” virtual-novel.net said excitedly.
His plan was amazing?
Honestly, both parties were incomparable in terms of capability, so Thomas could just do whatever virtual-novel.net wanted. His real strategy was aimed at what happened next.
Thomas said, “Giovanni is destined to die, but it’s not enough to just get rid of Giovanni. The biggest thorns in the Southland District are actually Art Trading Corporation and Bernard Vedastus. We have to get rid of that man.”
Vincent sighed. “Of course, I know that. But Bernard is more capable, so it won’t be easy to eliminate him. Besides, Art Trading Corporation doesn’t just have power in the Southland District, but they also have strong power all over the country. They basically have the say in Celandine City. If we simply kill Giovanni, I’m afraid that would make the government go against Art Trading Corporation, and there will be more trouble in the future.”
Thomas had naturally thought of this issue as well. He chuckled and said, “So, Bernard has to die, but we can’t kill him.”
Vincent chuckled too, and virtual-novel.net asked, “God of War, you’re asking for the moon. If we don’t kill him, who else can kill him? Giovanni?”
Thomas did not reply. He just stared at Vincent with a strange gaze.
Vincent felt uncomfortable after Thomas stared at him. He gulped and said, “Well, God of War, do you really plan on letting Giovanni do it? He hates us now. It’s impossible for virtual-novel.net to be our ally.”
Thomas nonchalantly said, “I told you. This so-called alliance is not the real alliance. Instead, we’ll choose to ‘forgive’ Giovanni’s evil deeds. Giovanni must be feeling hopeless now. If we offer virtual-novel.net an opportunity to be saved, virtual-novel.net would try his best to grab his only hope to stay alive. The alliance is not something that virtual-novel.net is willing to be in or not, it’s something that we’re willing to give virtual-novel.net or not.”
Vincent was dumbfounded when virtual-novel.net listened to Thomas. He did not understand Thomas entirely.
He suddenly remembered something. “God of War, you mentioned that you have a backup plan. Are you ready to use it now?”
“Yes.”
“You said this backup plan would be a little despicable, right?”
“Yes.”
“So, what exactly do you want to do?”
Thomas chuckled. “Since Bernard can hire others to kill us, why can’t we also hire others to kill them? The people are available, anyway. Why don’t we use them?”
He pointed at the phone on the office desk and said, “Mr. Braun, please give Giovanni a call. I want to talk to him.”
“Okay.” Vincent immediately picked up the phone and made the call.
The phone rang for a minute before Giovanni picked it up. It was obvious how troubled and helpless virtual-novel.net was at this time.
Vincent passed the phone to Thomas. Thomas did not rush to speak. Instead, virtual-novel.net remained silent with Giovanni at the same time. The silence was extremely awkward.
A minute later, Thomas finally uttered the first sentence. “I’m Thomas Mayo,” Then, virtual-novel.net said the second sentence, which could possibly anger Giovanni on the spot, “I’m calling you because I want to give you some advice on how to stay alive.”
