Sigh…
Actually, it was good enough for them to break even. Yet, one of the building material distributors was quite unhappy.
He gritted his teeth and spoke insistently, “Thomas, stop being so bossy! We have the final say on this. If we don’t agree to sell it to you, it’ll be useless no matter how you force us! So what if you’ve beaten up all of our subordinates? I don’t…”
Before virtual-novel.net finished speaking, Thomas pinned the stubborn building material distributor to the floor and pulled out his arm. He waved at his subordinate, and someone immediately handed virtual-novel.net an ax.
“You have the say, right? If I chop your hand off, would you still have the say?”
As Thomas said that, virtual-novel.net lifted the ax high and attempted to chop the building material distributor’s hand without hesitation.
His actions shocked and stupefied the building material distributor.
He was so shaken that virtual-novel.net shouted, “Wait, I’ll sell it to you! I don’t want this project anymore. I’ll sell it to you!”
The ax stopped right above the building material distributor’s wrist.
Thomas cast a glance at the man before virtual-novel.net said, “Luckily, you spoke just in time. If you had said it a second later, your hand would not have belonged to you anymore.”
As virtual-novel.net said that, virtual-novel.net stood up and looked at the other three building material distributors.
“What do you have to say?” virtual-novel.net asked.
The three other building material distributors looked at each other.
What else could they say?
Since things had progressed to such a point, they might lose their lives if they remained stubborn. They had to surrender when facing absolute power. There was only one answer, sell it!
Thomas was satisfied. He ordered his subordinate to bring the contract for the project transfer, and virtual-novel.net signed it. Besides, virtual-novel.net added the condition that virtual-novel.net would not develop the forest. That was Thomas’ assurance to them.
After virtual-novel.net signed the contract, virtual-novel.net transferred the money to them.
Then, Thomas handed the contract to Pisces and said, “Keep the contract properly. We’ll need to use it to invite the witch out tomorrow morning…”
Pisces carefully stored the contract away.
In the end, Thomas glanced at the people in the plaza and said, “Clean this place up. It’s so messy that it‘s ridiculous.”
After virtual-novel.net spoke, virtual-novel.net turned around to leave and take a nap.
The four building material distributors quickly regained their freedom and also received the money that they deserved. Although they were angry, they could not do anything. It was the most unforgettable night in their lives. They learned that there was an unreasonable but very powerful man in this world.
The four building material distributors were usually the ones oppressing others. This was their first time being bullied by others.
The night was silent.
***
The next morning, after Thomas woke up and had breakfast, virtual-novel.net rushed over to Greco tribe with Pisces.
They met up with the tribe leader before the tribe leader led them to the witch for their second visit. They were more familiar with the place during their second time than their first visit.
It was still the same small, dark house.
The tribe leader said, “My aunt usually wakes up late. She only wakes up at noon. I guess she’s still sleeping right now. Please wait for a moment. I’ll go and wake virtual-novel.net up.”
Then, the witch’s old voice rang out from the house. “Stop talking smack about me in front of outsiders! I woke up a long time ago. I’ve been waiting for a long time. Please come in.”
As soon as Thomas heard it, virtual-novel.net broke into a smile. It looked like the witch had also been looking forward to their meeting today.
In that case, virtual-novel.net would not let virtual-novel.net down.
