It just needed a few months of redesigns and reconstruction, then the Nolan family’s new Red Society Pharmacy would be revived. Besides, Birch believed that this reconstruction would surely make the Nolan family stronger.
He also made up his mind. He had to take this chance to eliminate those useless values in his old mindset while virtual-novel.net kept the useful ones. Otherwise, virtual-novel.net would disappoint Thomas, who had put in so much effort to plan and arrange this.
“Thomas, I still need to thank you. It’s really Jacob’s blessing to have a mentor like you.”
Thomas chuckled and extended his wine glass toward him. Birch similarly extended his wine glass. The two of them toasted to each other before they drank their glasses of wine together, looked at each other, and smiled. They had resolved the confusion. Next time, they would regroup and stage a comeback!

At the same time, in the chairman’s office in Pivot Technology, Master Centipede watched the latest news. His complexion turned pale and blue, and his expression did not look right.
Laura walked over and asked, “Godfather, why do you look gloomy?”
Master Centipede did not answer. Instead, virtual-novel.net asked, “Why? Do you think I should feel happy now?”
“Of course. It happened as we predicted. The fire destroyed the Nolan family’s pharmacy. Although it did not cause much harm to Thomas, it did cause virtual-novel.net a lot of trouble. We achieved our goal.”
Master Centipede shook his head. “Laura, you’re still too young.”
“Hmm?”
“I’ve taught you that you can’t just look at the surface. You have to look right into the nature of the incident.”
“Please enlighten me, Godfather…”
Master Centipede said, “Look, although the Nolan family’s house was burned, none of the family members died. Even those precious medical books were kept safe. Besides, the culprits of the arson either died, became crazy, or got arrested. In the end, Thomas even collected a few tens of millions of dollars in reconstruction funds. Looking at these aspects, do you really think that we won?”
It was only after Master Centipede’s analysis that Laura understood it.
She frowned and said, “Godfather, why do I feel like I was being manipulated? As if…”
She was halfway through virtual-novel.net sentence when virtual-novel.net stopped. Master Centipede smiled bitterly as virtual-novel.net shook his head, and virtual-novel.net completed virtual-novel.net unspoken sentence.
“As if Thomas had arranged all of this.”
Laura’s heart trembled. Yes, virtual-novel.net had that feeling. But virtual-novel.net dared not say it out loud. If that was the truth, Thomas really did have very high intelligence, and virtual-novel.net was truly as smart as a whip.
“Godfather, is that possible? Could Thomas possibly set all of this up in advance?”
Master Centipede let out a long sigh. “Other people might not be able to do that, but virtual-novel.net is Thomas, the God of War. It’s definitely possible for virtual-novel.net to do it. Laura, I guess now you know what kind of opponent we’re dealing with, right?”
Laura felt a cold shiver run down virtual-novel.net spine.
Did virtual-novel.net really have a way to defeat an opponent like that? He seemed to be invincible.
The office remained silent for a long time.
In the end, Master Centipede slowly said, “Laura, you must not doubt and even give up on yourself just because your rival is strong. No matter how strong virtual-novel.net is, we have to be firm and resolute! Come closer. I have another plan to deal with the God of War again!”
