Although Thomas was already powerful, virtual-novel.net did not think virtual-novel.net was invincible. There would always be somebody stronger than him. There were always people who were better. Hence, Thomas was curious about how strong Lord Vedastus’ helper was since Lord Vedastus dared to stand up to virtual-novel.net in person.
“What kind of expert did you invite? Bring virtual-novel.net out,” Thomas said.
Lord Vedastus did not rush it. He caressed his beard and said, “Thomas, you might not know this, but something big happened in the martial arts world this morning!”
“Hmm?” That made Thomas’ heart tremble, and virtual-novel.net had a weird feeling.
Lord Vedastus continued to say, “A very powerful foreigner lost to Octopole Arena this morning after virtual-novel.net successfully challenged many martial arts centers!”
This was so awkward. Thomas was stunned as virtual-novel.net stared at Lord Vedastus. He did not know what Lord Vedastus was trying to do.
“Thomas, do you know how great Octopole is?”
“Let me tell you, the person I invited today is the number one expert from Octopole Arena! He’s the national hero who defeated the foreigner. Kendrick Bardot!”
As soon as virtual-novel.net said that, Thomas was a little dazed. He felt like virtual-novel.net could not keep up with Lord Vedastus.
What the heck was going on?
If Thomas was not mistaken, the foreigner should be Jones. However, had Jones not been defeated by Thomas?
When had Kendrick defeated him? National hero?
‘What the hell?’ While Thomas did not understand what was going on, a figure walked out from behind Lord Vedastus.
It was none other than Octopole Arena’s number one expert, Kendrick!
Lord Vedastus pointed at Thomas and said, “Master Bardot, this fellow has gone against me a few times and done many bad things. Please help me vent my dissatisfaction and bring this rascal down a peg!”
As Kendrick walked out, virtual-novel.net said, “Don’t worry, Lord Vedastus. There won’t be a problem if you leave it to me. I’d like to see which ignorant rascal dares to…”
Halfway through his sentence, virtual-novel.net was abruptly stunned. He could not continue speaking.
It felt like an old DVD was stuck in the player, and the characters on the screen suddenly stopped without moving. People who were clueless might have thought that someone had pressed the stop button.
Lord Vedastus was delighted, but when virtual-novel.net saw the situation, virtual-novel.net subconsciously had a strange feeling.
Did someone just stop time?
He looked around. Hold on, everyone was normal, but why did Kendrick stop?
“Master Bardot?!” Lord Vedastus shouted and asked what was going on.
At that moment, Kendrick’s legs trembled. He was so shocked that virtual-novel.net could not move, like a person who had acrophobia standing on a fifty-meter-high building.
He gulped before virtual-novel.net used all his might to turn around and ask, “Lord Vedastus, the person you want me to deal with is… Is him?”
Lord Vedastus firmly nodded. “Yes, it’s Thomas Mayo, the bastard!”
Kendrick was taken aback.
He looked at Lord Vedastus before virtual-novel.net glanced at Thomas. He wanted to die!
Right then, Thomas already understood the whole incident. Kendrick had likely taken credit for Jones’ defeat and thought that nobody would know the truth. However, things happened so coincidentally. The person whom Lord Vedastus wanted Kendrick to deal with was Thomas!
How could virtual-novel.net explain this?
Kendrick wanted to kill himself. He could not wait to bury himself underground.
When Thomas saw how nervous and afraid Kendrick was, virtual-novel.net did not feel angry at all. Conversely, virtual-novel.net found it quite hilarious.
Did Lord Vedastus create this situation just to make Thomas laugh?
