Chapter 123

“The Peralta Family too!”

“And the Elliotts!”

Thomas smiled gratefully at them. Looks like I’m able to call in a few favors after all.

Raymond patted Thomas on the shoulder. “Since you’re alright now, I’ll leave so that you can get yourrest. Let’s have a drink when you’ve fully recovered!”

Thomas nodded. “Alright. It’s on me this time. I feel bad about leaving halfway through the meal the lasttime.”

“Hahaha!” Raymond laughed heartily and bade the others goodbye before leaving the hospital withTimothy and Rose.

The Myria Herbal Pill wasn’t needed after all, though Raymond would’ve brought it out in a heartbeat ifQuincy had told him that it was Thomas who had been poisoned.

“What kind of poison was it, Thomas?” Quincy asked curiously.

He was still preoccupied with the unidentifiable poison. Even the most advanced medical equipmentfailed to identify what it was. Could it be some strange and mysterious poisonous substance?

Thomas smoked his cigarette and explained, “It’s not a rare poison, though it’s rather toxic. It’s calledthe Soulsucker. Once ingested, it will make the victim feel sore all over before leaving them weak andincapacitated. If the poison isn’t removed from the body within six hours, the victim will die!”

As he spoke about the functions of the poison, he felt a sense of belated fear. He had been far toocareless. F*ck. It wouldn’t have been so easy for me to get rid of the poison if it hadn’t been for my

Blood of the Blazing Sun. Thank goodness I fired in time, or else, I would’ve had to say goodbye to myhead at Northpine Villa.

Quincy, John, and Samuel gasped. If the poison could render a person immobile, then wouldn’t anyonewho was hit with it in a fight be at the mercy of their opponent? Only someone like Thomas couldescape with his life!

Who’s the one who wants Thomas dead? What a heinous move that was!

A thought immediately occurred to Samuel. Previously, he invited Thomas over because he wanted toask him about something that he heard from William.

“Thomas, three of the Minacia Oito Irieson have died. Were you the one who killed them?”

“What did you say?”

Quincy and John’s eyes widened with shock. The news of those three deaths had rocked Irieson. Tigre,the head of Minacia Oito, even offered a 150-million bounty for the killer. The situation was extremelydelicate right now. Could it have been Thomas who did it?

Thomas chuckled. He didn’t feel the need to hide it from the three of them, so he nodded. “That’s right.I did it!”

“Goodness me! Have you gone mad?”

Samuel and John were so shocked, they could barely breathe. Why did you kill those from the MinaciaOito Irieson? You’re courting death!

Quincy shook his head helplessly. You killed Drake Hind, you got injured because of the Xalmars, andnow you’re in a blood feud with the Minacia Oito Irieson. Are you trying to make everyone your enemy?

“Why did you offend the Minacia Oito, Thomas?” John’s expression was grim as he stared at Thomas.The Minacia Oito were a bunch of immortal and inhumane hooligans who had no principles to speak ofand were willing to engage in all manner of depravity. They would never let someone who offendedthem get away!

“Thomas, if you wanted to go up against the Minacia Oito, you should’ve discussed it with us first. Evenif we couldn’t have openly helped you with it, we could’ve done a few things in secret. You’re… You’retoo reckless!” Samuel cried out exasperatedly.

However, Thomas looked completely relaxed. “It’s something personal. I don’t want to drag you all intoit. I can handle it myself.”

“What are you saying, Thomas? You make it sound as if we Peralta Family are afraid of gettingdragged down by you!”

“That’s right! We Mortons aren’t the type who would be scared either!”

The two old men were displeased by Thomas’ explanation. After all, it was just the Minacia Oito Irieson.No matter how tough it was to deal with those people, it didn’t mean that they and their families wereafraid of the group. Furthermore, at their age, they were not going to turn their backs on their friends.

Thomas smiled. The two elderly men reminded him of Sean and William. They’re just like the olderversions of those two. They even sound the same!

Unlike John and Samuel, Quincy remained silent. His brows were tightly knitted as he seemed to be indeep thought.

At night, John and Samuel finally called it a day. Sean and William wanted to stay with Thomas, butSamuel stopped them.

“Thomas has only just started his recovery. He needs his rest. You’ll only be disturbing him if you stickaround.”

Thus, the two young men had no choice but to trail out of the hospital with their grandfathers, thoughthey kept looking back in reluctance.

Once the four were gone, Quincy moved a chair over and sat down by the bed.

“Go ahead and say whatever’s on your mind,” Thomas said.

It had been rather unlike Quincy to stay quiet the whole time.

“Alas! Thomas, do you know that the Minacia Oito Irieson is not only incredibly powerful but also hasan extremely complicated background?”

“Oh. Is that so?”

Thomas nodded absentmindedly. He wasn’t interested in replaceing out about Minacia Oito Irieson’sbackground. All he needed to know was that Dominic, his good buddy and comrade-in-arms, had diedat their hands. That was enough for him.

I don’t f*cking care how prominent or influential of a background you have. It has nothing to do with me.Since you killed my friend, I’m going to come for your lives, even if you’re the devil himself!

Thomas’ look made it clear to Quincy that his words had fallen on deaf ears, so he shook his head andsaid, “If you need my help, just go ahead and tell me. Considering my status in Irieson, I don’t thinkthey’ll have the gall to go too far!”

Thomas smiled at Quincy. I was right. Quincy’s someone worth befriending.

“By the way, I know quite a few fine young women. I’ll introduce you to them later—”

He was cut off by the sound of the door opening.

Olivia came in with three thermal lunch bags. Her forehead was covered in sweat. It looked as if shehad run all the way over.

Since Olivia was here, Quincy couldn’t possibly continue what he was about to say. After all, he coulddiscern Olivia’s feelings for Thomas. All his years of living would’ve been for nothing if he wasn’t evenperceptive enough to notice it.

I’ll bring it up again next time. Quincy said a few words to Thomas and took his leave.

Olivia kept pulling out more and more food containers from the lunch bags and ended up filling theentire table.

Thomas felt a little helpless. Based on his past experience, he knew he would most likely bedischarged from the hospital tomorrow, but Olivia was making such a huge fuss.

“Here’s the chicken soup. I also made you some salmon and eggs. I heard they’re good for woundhealing. Oh, and I added some ginseng into the soup too. I heard that it helps your body absorbnutrients better.”

Olivia kept explaining each dish she brought out as if she were unboxing treasures.
