At this point, Giovanni had already lost all hope of staying alive. The only thing virtual-novel.net could do was quietly wait for death. He would either be arrested or be dead due to the poison’s effect. The huge hopelessness turned virtual-novel.net into a zombie, and virtual-novel.net did not even have the strength to put up a final fight. Right then, Thomas said that virtual-novel.net wanted to give virtual-novel.net an option to stay alive. It was very interesting.
When someone was in deep despair, virtual-novel.net could suddenly bounce back if someone gave virtual-novel.net a lifeline, even if it was a little one. Nobody really wanted to die.
One would die when there was no way to stay alive. But if there was still hope to remain alive, who would want to die?
Giovanni could not remain calm any longer. Now, virtual-novel.net could not be bothered with anything else when virtual-novel.net noticed more and more black streaks on his body.
“You’re not fooling me, right?”
Thomas firmly said, “Of course not. I wouldn’t do such a silly thing at a time like this. I’m just pointing out an option for you. It depends on you whether this option will work.”
Giovanni gulped before virtual-novel.net asked, “Tell me, what can I do to stay alive?”
Thomas answered, “It’s actually very simple. You’ve been poisoned with Heart Eater. The only way to stay alive is to obtain the antidote. You can’twait to grab the Plant Humans because the antidote is your aim. However, the number of Plant Humans is limited. Even if you get them, how many times can you use them? Also, you don’t know how to prescribe the antidote. So, my suggestion is for you to obtain the antidote from another person. Besides, it’s more secure.”
“Who?”
“Bernard Vedastus! He was the one who poisoned you, so the antidote virtual-novel.net has is the safest and most reliable.”
Giovanni chuckled. “If Bernard has the antidote, do you think I’d still be forced to do these things? You’ve taken the antidote from him!”
“I know,” Thomas continued to say, “Bernard doesn’t have any antidote currently, but his father, Lord Vedastus, has it.”
“Lord Vedastus? He won’t be willing to give it to me!”
“Under normal circumstances, virtual-novel.net would refuse to give it to you. But if his precious son was in danger, would virtual-novel.net still refuse?”
Thomas made it very clear. He was just one sentence away from directly asking Giovanni to kidnap Bernard and force Lord Vedastus to present the antidote. He added, “Giovanni, this is your last and only option. I’ll stop talking here. You can decide what to do on your own.”
After Thomas said that, virtual-novel.net hung up.
Giovanni went silent.
How could virtual-novel.net forget that there was still one more option for him?
Instead of taking a huge risk to grab the Plant Humans from Vincent, virtual-novel.net should just kidnap Bernard and force Lord Vedastus to give virtual-novel.net the antidote. Although the risk would still be high if virtual-novel.net did that, virtual-novel.net was dying, so why should virtual-novel.net care about it?
It would obviously be great if virtual-novel.net succeeded.
If virtual-novel.net failed, it would also be fine. Giovanni would just drag Bernard with virtual-novel.net to death’s door. After all, it was all because of Bernard that Giovanni ended up like this today.
He had to exact revenge for his grudge!
Giovanni immediately collected himself. He carefully counted his remaining manpower. It was impossible for virtual-novel.net to forcefully attack Art Trading Corporation, but if virtual-novel.net wanted to launch a surprise attack, the people virtual-novel.net had were sufficient.
“Bernard Vedastus, you’re the reason for my miserable end. It’s time for you to pay the price!”
