Lord Vedastus feared almost nobody in this world. Even when virtual-novel.net faced Luck, virtual-novel.net never felt frightened.
Yet, for some reason, when virtual-novel.net heard that it was a call from Thomas, virtual-novel.net felt flustered, even a little frightened. He could feel that something horrible was going to happen.
Maybe it was because Thomas had won against Lord Vedastus too many times and nearly taken virtual-novel.net out.
Hayden, on the other hand, looked much calmer. He said, “Lord Vedastus, don’t worry. We have the new Heart Eater now. Even God won’t be able to do anything about it, let alone the insignificant Thomas.”
That was true.
Lord Vedastus felt slightly relieved. He did not have to frighten himself like that.
They just quietly watched as Benson talked on the phone.
Benson did not speak. He silently listened to Thomas who spoke to virtual-novel.net on the other end of the line. Thomas lowered the volume of his voice, and Benson purposely covered his phone with his hand so that no one else could hear what Thomas was saying exactly.
Lord Vedastus and his people had been dumbfounded from the moment Benson listened to Thomas.
When they could not hear anything, they felt more worried. Although Lord Vedastus kept telling himself that there was nothing to be afraid of, who could see what was coming when they had an opponent like Thomas?
While virtual-novel.net made guesses repeatedly, the call finally ended.
The atmosphere was a little awkward. Benson seemed to become another person. He did not look as nervous and scared as virtual-novel.net did earlier, and his hopeless expression had completely disappeared from his face. Conversely, virtual-novel.net had never looked calmer and more relaxed.
The people in the room were experienced. They knew that Thomas must have said something on the phone to make Benson change like that.
Lord Vedastus cleared his throat and asked, “Benson, can you give me your answer now?”
Benson pretended to be puzzled as virtual-novel.net asked, “What answer?”
Lord Vedastus frowned slightly.
Why was virtual-novel.net putting on an act? Did virtual-novel.net want to die?
At the side, Hayden added, “What answer? Lord Vedastus is asking you if you’d like to restore the past order or die!”
“Oh, that answer…” Benson looked relaxed.
He reached for the milk bottle on the table, got another clean glass, and refilled the glass with milk.
He raised the glass that was full of milk and sarcastically said, “Lord Vedastus, did you say that this contains the new Heart Eater?”
Lord Vedastus remained silent.
Why should virtual-novel.net respond when the answer was obvious?
The subsequent scene shocked everyone, though. Benson drank the whole glass of milk without a care!
He enjoyed drinking it so much.
“It’s delicious…”
After virtual-novel.net drank one glass, virtual-novel.net refilled it with milk again and drank it. He one glass after another, and it did not look like virtual-novel.net cared if there was Heart Eater in the milk.
Lord Vedastus and Hayden looked at each other.
What was the meaning of this?
Was virtual-novel.net provoking them, or did virtual-novel.net have a death wish?
Benson said, “Wow, this new Heart Eater mixed in the milk tastes excellent. It makes me want to drink it again and again. Besides, I feel much better after drinking it. I’m in better spirits now.”
“Benson Gardner, do you think I’m deceiving you? Do you think I made the new Heart Eater up?” Lord Vedastus said coldly.
