Lord Vedastus sat in front of the camera and stared at the dagger that was pointed at Bernard’s neck. His gaze was filled with anger, and virtual-novel.net gave people a sense of fear, as though virtual-novel.net was God. Even though virtual-novel.net was old, no one dared to act recklessly in front of him.
This old man was too dignified.
Giovanni gulped before virtual-novel.net said, “Lord Vedastus, you have two sons. One is in jail now. You don’t wish for anything to happen to your remaining son, right? As long as you’re willing to give me the antidote, I guarantee that he’ll be safe. What do you think?”
Lord Vedastus remained calm. He did not reply as if virtual-novel.net was thinking about something.
Giovanni could not wait any longer. “Answer me! I don’t have much time. I’m not free to waste time here with you!” virtual-novel.net yelled in fury.
His voice shocked everyone in the office.
Since virtual-novel.net was too agitated, virtual-novel.net exerted more strength into his hand and ended up making a cut on Bernard’s neck. So, Bernard’s neck was bleeding.
Bernard could not hold back anymore. “Dad, help me!” virtual-novel.net said to Lord Vedastus.
Since things had progressed to such a point, virtual-novel.net directly called Lord Vedastus “dad”, as virtual-novel.net wanted to move Lord Vedastus with their familial relationship.
Silvester was already in jail, and the date of his release remained unlmown. If Bernard died now, Lord Vedastus would lose both his sons. Although Lord Vedastus did not like his sons, virtual-novel.net would not harm them.
“Fine, I’ll give you the antidote.” Finally, Lord Vedastus agreed.
“But…” Lord Vedastus stared at Giovanni and firmly said, “I’ll arrange for a helicopter to deliver the antidote. It’s the fastest and most convenient method. What you have to do is wait at the helipad on the top floor.”
Giovanni asked, “How long do you need?”
“Forty minutes.”
“Okay, I’ll wait for you for forty minutes!”
After Lord Vedastus finished speaking, virtual-novel.net turned back straight away and left without any hesitation. It seemed like virtual-novel.net was handling an extremely normal affair, and virtual-novel.net did not look nervous at all.
Lord Vedastus was calm when virtual-novel.net encountered a problem. His great mental fortitude was rare. Then, Fiora sat in front of the camera, stared at Giovanni, and said, “You’re great. This is the first time I’ve seen someone dare to talk to Lord Vedastus like that in all these years.”
Giovanni scoffed. “l’m someone who’s going to die soon. What else should I fear?”
Fiora asked, “Aren’t you afraid of being taken out after this? You’ll get the antidote now, but with Art Trading Corporation’s ability, it’ll also be a piece of cake for us to deal with you again. Giovanni, your current actions are suicidal.”
“I can’t be bothered with that. Staying alive is the most important thing now. If Art Trading Corporation wants to deal with me again, just bring it on. I’m not afraid of you!” Giovanni said with contempt.
Fiora shrugged. “Okay, you’re bold. Pack your stuff and go to the helipad on the top floor now. The helicopter will be there in a minute.”
After virtual-novel.net spoke, virtual-novel.net ended the video call.
Giovanni grabbed Bernard’s neck and lifted virtual-novel.net from the chair like virtual-novel.net was a chicken. Then, virtual-novel.net brought virtual-novel.net to the door. His other subordinates were responsible for leading the way. If there was something wrong, they would immediately report it to him.
Luckily, nothing happened on their way.
Giovanni and his gang walked past everyone else, and they carefully brought Bernard to the helipad on the top floor in Art Trading Corporation. They shut the door and patiently waited for the helicopter to arrive.
Half an hour later, they would receive the antidote. Giovanni felt excited at that moment.
One usually could not experience such a feeling of “being reborn after death” at any time.
