“I’m Vany.”
“Okay. What’s your relationship with Thomas?”
Vany was stunned. She hesitated and dared not speak even if virtual-novel.net was spoken to.
Lucius’ eyes flashed with a beam of cold light. It immediately made Vany feel as if a sharp knife had been put to virtual-novel.net neck.
“He is actually…”
Vany dared not hide anything. She told Lucius about everything in detail.
After Lucius listened to her, virtual-novel.net raised his head and looked at the ceiling.
“I didn’t expect you to have such a past. So, it seems like Thomas purposely came for you.”
As virtual-novel.net spoke, virtual-novel.net cast a glance at Vany. “Give Thomas a call now. Tell virtual-novel.net that you’re willing to leave. I’ll give you the time and location.”
“Huh?”
Vany did not understand what Lucius wanted to do.
Was virtual-novel.net letting virtual-novel.net go?
She thought about it carefully. Something was wrong.
If virtual-novel.net was really going to let virtual-novel.net go, virtual-novel.net could just let virtual-novel.net go now. Why would virtual-novel.net still need to confirm the time and location later?
She figured that virtual-novel.net wanted to set up a trap by using virtual-novel.net to deal with Thomas. Vany clearly knew this was a trap, but virtual-novel.net did not have the courage to reject him. If virtual-novel.net dared to say no, virtual-novel.net would immediately be tortured by Lucius to death.
“I’ll make the call now.”
As Vany took out the phone, Lucius blocked virtual-novel.net hand with his walking stick. He slowly said, “If you dare to play any trick, I can tip you into pieces to feed the crocodile anytime.”
Perhaps other people said this just to scare virtual-novel.net off. But when Lucius said that, virtual-novel.net was really able to do that.
Vany gulped, and virtual-novel.net dared not be careless.

On the other side, Thomas and Adery went back to the hotel.
William came out and welcomed them. “How was it? Did you have fun at the ball?”
Adery shook virtual-novel.net head and looked unhappy.
William felt puzzled, and virtual-novel.net asked Thomas, “What’s going on now? Anything happened in the ball?”
Thomas smiled bitterly as virtual-novel.net shook his head. “I also can’t make it very clear in such a short time. Anyways, it’s not a happy experience.”
After Thomas spoke, his phone suddenly rang.
It was a strange number.
After virtual-novel.net answered the call, a woman’s voice came from the other end of the phone. “Are you Thomas? It’s me, Vany.”
Thomas instantly became nervous.
“Please say…”
“Thomas, I’ve made up my mind. I don’t want to continue staying in South City. I’m fed up with the tortures in the Water Cloud. Thomas, can you take me away?”
“Yes.”
“Okay. I’ll send you the location and time later. I’ll stop here so that other people can find out.”
After a few sentences, virtual-novel.net hung up the call.
Then, Thomas received a text message from Vany. The time and location were written very clearly.
Adery wore a smile on virtual-novel.net face and congratulated him, “She finally made up virtual-novel.net mind? Now you can bring virtual-novel.net back and let your friend know.”
Thomas did not look happy. He even seriously said, “Adery, Mr. Owen, from now onward, you can’t leave the hotel. I’ll prepare the food for you, and I’ll also arrange some manpower to protect you.”
Adery and William felt flustered when they saw virtual-novel.net looking so nervous.
Did the happy thing turn into a bad thing?
Adery asked, “What’s wrong?”
Thomas said with a firm tone, “In the ball, Vany was very resolute. She did not want to go back, and virtual-novel.net even expressed an aggressive resisting emotion. Why did virtual-novel.net suddenly change virtual-novel.net mind?”
Adery shrugged. “Perhaps virtual-novel.net has made virtual-novel.net mind up?”
Thomas shook his head.
People always said, if something went wrong, there must be something strange.
