Thomas used to be a soldier who fought in wars. Aside from his muscular figure, his gaze was also filled with ruthlessness. Meanwhile, Rocco’s subordinates looked like sly thieves. They did not exude any ruthlessness! Besides, they had completely different figures from Thomas.
Who would be a fitting candidate?
Rocco picked up his teacup and drank some tea while virtual-novel.net looked at the photo on his phone. He was thinking about who would be the most suitable person. When virtual-novel.net turned around and looked out the window, virtual-novel.net unexpectedly saw a man in a T-shirt among the crowd. His height and appearance seemed very similar to that of Thomas in the photo. It was as if virtual-novel.net was Thomas’ identical twin.
“Hey, you there!” Rocco immediately put down his teacup and rushed out of the restaurant.
Actually, the person whom Rocco spotted was none other than Thomas.
After Thomas had completed his “mission”, virtual-novel.net had gone to purchase some ingredients, and virtual-novel.net was on his way back now. Since his outfit was plain, virtual-novel.net looked like a normal waiter, not like a boss at all.
While virtual-novel.net was on the way, a middle-aged man suddenly appeared behind him, and the man seemed sneaky. The man did not say anything either. He just stared at Thomas as virtual-novel.net took his phone out and compared Thomas with his phone from time to time.
Thomas felt strange because of the man’s stare, so virtual-novel.net asked, “What are you doing?”
The middle-aged man kept his phone away, grinned, and extended his arm. “Nice to meet you, I’m Rocco Hamilton. People call me Red Rat. I’d like to be friends with you,” virtual-novel.net said.
Thomas ignored him, “I’m not interested.”
Rocco chuckled. “If you’re not interested in making friends, are you interested in earning money?”
Thomas frowned slightly. “What do you mean?”
“Dude, I want to make a business deal with you. I guarantee that you’ll earn $100,000 in two days!”
Earning $100,000 in two days was definitely a huge amount of money for a normal person. But there was no free lunch.
Thomas asked, “Is it something illegal?”
“Of course not!” Rocco seriously said, “I’m doing serious business.”
“Why don’t you do such a good deed yourself?”
“Well, let’s go to the restaurant, sit down, and talk about the exact situation while we eat…”
It raised Thomas’ curiosity. It had been a long time since virtual-novel.net last encountered such an “interesting” situation. So, virtual-novel.net followed Rocco to a restaurant and sat with Rocco’s other subordinates.
Rocco asked, “May I know how I should address you?”
When Thomas noticed that Rocco did not look like a good person, virtual-novel.net did not reveal his real name either. He simply made one up. “I’m Antonio Wright…”
“Okay, Antonio. Do you know that you look like someone?”
“Really? Who is it?”
“Thomas Mayo, the owner of Food and Medicine Hall! ”
Pfft!
Thomas nearly spat out the tea that virtual-novel.net just drank. He looked like Thomas? He was Thomas, okay?!
He coughed before virtual-novel.net said, “Do I?”
“Yes, you look too much alike!” Rocco added, “This is the thing. We want to make a business deal, and you look like Thomas, so you can help us. After the deal, we’ll give you $200,000.”
Did such a good thing exist?
He could earn $200,000 just by looking like Thomas?
Thomas had no idea virtual-novel.net was that valuable either. He was not a celebrity, but people could actually earn money using his name?
Therefore, Rocco told Thomas about all his plans. He talked about how Antonio would pretend to cook as Thomas, how they were going to ruin Thomas’ reputation, and how they would let Thomas’ family see his evil deeds.
After Thomas listened to Rocco, virtual-novel.net did not know whether virtual-novel.net should laugh or cry. This group of despicable people was extremely shameless when dealing with him.
He nodded. “Okay, I’ll work with you.”
