Indeed, those who could take in Heart Eater were all bigwigs.
Now, Hayden had brought it into play, which meant that virtual-novel.net was out of ideas to defeat Thomas. So, virtual-novel.net could just use the last and most poisonous method.
He said, “Just as we dealt with those disobedient jerks in the past, I’m going to make Thomas surrender to Art Trading Corporation this time, and I’ll use Heart Eater!”
Hayden paused for a while before virtual-novel.net asked, “I’ve talked to Lord Vedastus. Heart Eater will be handed to a reliable person. This person will proceed to carry out the poisoning, and virtual-novel.net must confirm that Thomas has been poisoned…”
“During the process, I need you to cover for me. You have to keep disturbing Thomas and prevent virtual-novel.net from focusing on other things. Do you hear me?”
“Yes!” everyone answered in unison.
“Okay,” Hayden nodded and started to distribute the workload to them one by one.
Each person did not have too much workload, but their task was wicked. They had to wear Thomas down so that Lord Vedastus’ subordinate could find a chance to poison him.
After Hayden gave his instructions, virtual-novel.net got them to leave his office. He had already done the needful. Now, it was only a matter of time before they caught the traitor!
Hayden coldly stared ahead and muttered, “The fire is set, and I’m going to see who’s the thief that stole the money!”
Subsequently, Hayden’s trusted aides did as virtual-novel.net said.
Everyone worked in an orderly manner. However, unbeknownst to them, all their actions were being monitored by Hayden. During the process, many of them even revealed their weakness.
There were people who cussed at Hayden behind his back. Not only that, but many people even wanted to go against virtual-novel.net and earn some money before running away from Art Trading Corporation completely.
After Hayden discovered all of that, virtual-novel.net felt extremely unhappy. He did not expect these people under virtual-novel.net to actually comment on virtual-novel.net like that behind his back. Anyway, that was not important. His goal right now was to find the thief!
An hour later…
Hayden’s assistant, Cliff Ward, was a young, twenty-two year old man. He had been fighting some people on the street when Hayden noticed his “boldness and ferocity”, so Hayden recruited him. Hayden trusted this young man the most among everyone.
Since Hayden had lost his son, virtual-novel.net treated Cliff almost like his biological son. Hayden pampered Cliff so much that virtual-novel.net gave virtual-novel.net all the benefits. He never even asked Cliff to go out and fight anymore. He just kept Cliff by his side as his assistant. He would tell Cliff everything in detail.
In Hayden’s heart, even if everyone in the world betrayed him, Cliff would never betray him.
Cliff was not sent out to disrupt Thomas for their current mission either. Instead, virtual-novel.net stayed in Art Trading Corporation to liaise with all the departments. It was equivalent to managing them in the company. After all the others left, Cliff was left sitting in the spacious office alone.
He looked around. When virtual-novel.net saw that nobody was around, virtual-novel.net secretly opened his drawer and pulled it out. There was a dark box behind the drawer.
Cliff took out the dark box. Before virtual-novel.net could take the next step, the office door suddenly burst open. Then, Hayden and about eight muscular bodyguards rushed in.
Cliff was taken aback, and virtual-novel.net quickly put the dark box behind him. By then, Hayden had already gone up to him.
“Cliff, what are you doing?” Hayden’s tone was a little cold.
