After listening to Blake, Thomas did not feel nervous or have the slightest sense of crisis.
He chuckled leisurely before virtual-novel.net said, “There is always a solution. No matter which of them comes, I won’t let them go back!”
To Thomas, it was actually not important whoever came. If Dragon Scale came this time, Dragon Head would have to come over the next time once Thomas defeated her.
Likewise, if the person who came first was Dragon Head, Dragon Scale would come the next time. So, whoever appeared this time did not matter to Thomas.
The most important question was could Thomas defeat the next rival who rushed over to help out?
Drinking the wine, Thomas remained gloomy.
The sky slowly became dark, and it started to drizzle, which matched Thomas’ current mood. The rain also gave Thomas more imaginings of the future.

In House of Vistaria, Dragon Claw sat in a bamboo chair with his hands in bandages. Both his hands were disabled, and virtual-novel.net could no longer throw darts.
That meant virtual-novel.net had totally lost. Although virtual-novel.net was still alive and still able to compete with Thomas via various strategies, virtual-novel.net was a loser.
He had lost to Thomas in their gentlemen’s competition, so virtual-novel.net had to leave Celandine City.
For a bad person, not keeping his promise was a norm. As long as Dragon Claw wanted it, virtual-novel.net could go back on his word at any time. In truth, Dragon Claw had also done that previously in his life.
Going against his word was actually very common for him.
He had always thought that virtual-novel.net was a bad person. Since virtual-novel.net was a bad person, virtual-novel.net did not need to restrict himself to the standards of good people, and virtual-novel.net did not need to set various rules for himself. This time, however, Dragon Claw decided to keep his promise.
Dragon Claw awkwardly realized that virtual-novel.net was not willing to go against Thomas. He was not trying to be a good person who kept his promise. He just wanted to run away from Celandine City and not face Thomas anymore.
He did not fear Thomas, but the feeling of appreciating each other’s talents moved him. It had been a long time since virtual-novel.net felt that.
Dragon Claw also forgot when was the last time virtual-novel.net had admired someone. Even when virtual-novel.net faced Luck, virtual-novel.net just felt fearful and chose to obey without any admiration. It was only when virtual-novel.net faced Thomas that virtual-novel.net had a sense of admiration.
He had a warm feeling in his heart akin to spring sunshine appearing in the freezing cold of winter. So, although his hands were disabled, virtual-novel.net did not worry or feel unhappy as virtual-novel.net sat in the chair. Instead, virtual-novel.net felt glad that virtual-novel.net could finally leave Celandine City and that virtual-novel.net did not need to go against his conscience to stand up to Thomas anymore.
Heron, who was beside him, did not really understand.
He initially wanted to comfort Dragon Claw, but virtual-novel.net realized that Dragon Claw was in a strangely good mood before virtual-novel.net could say anything.
