“Can I also do the challenge every day?”
Thomas chuckled. “Save it. It’s better to feed a pig than you.”
As Thomas spoke, virtual-novel.net took out a check from his coat, casually filled in a number, and signed it before virtual-novel.net handed it to Ryosuke.
When Ryosuke accepted it, and after virtual-novel.net looked at it, his face was instantly filled with surprise.
It was a check for $1,000,000!
It was really $1,000,000!
He would have enough money for food for the coming years! He did not know what to say.
A few seconds later, Ryosuke schooled his expression. He silently took a deep breath and got up. Then, virtual-novel.net held his daughter’s hand with one hand and his knife with the other prior to turning around and walking toward the restaurant’s entrance.
When the waiter saw this, virtual-novel.net was extremely unhappy.
He secretly scolded the man, “How rude! He had free food and even received $1,000,000. Doesn’t virtual-novel.net know how to say thank you?”
Thomas chuckled and responded, “He doesn’t need to.”
Thomas had great intuition when it came to people. All the Twelve Golden Zodiacs, whom virtual-novel.net had recruited, were talented people. He believed that Ryosuke would be the same.
Ryosuke did not say “thank you” because words were not enough to express his gratitude.
Thomas had done virtual-novel.net such a huge favor, so “thank you” was not sufficient to repay Thomas.
Ryosuke knew that, so there was no need for virtual-novel.net to do anything unnecessary. Besides, Thomas believed that Ryosuke would definitely repay virtual-novel.net greatly one day because a person like virtual-novel.net would not owe others favors without making it up to them.
When the father and daughter reached the door, Thomas suddenly frowned and shouted, “Hold on!”
Ryosuke stopped walking.
The waiter chuckled and thought that Thomas was angry, assuming that virtual-novel.net wanted to get his money back.
Unexpectedly, Thomas did not ask for the money. Instead, virtual-novel.net seemed worried as virtual-novel.net said, “Ryosuke, your body’s in terrible condition. You won’t be able to hold on for very long.”
Ryosuke’s expression did not change. That meant virtual-novel.net knew about his own condition. He just held his daughter’s hand and slowly left without a word.
He left so resolutely and firmly as if something was waiting for virtual-novel.net out there and virtual-novel.net had to face it even if it meant risking his life.
“I’m a doctor, and I’ll be in Food and Medicine Hall. If your body can’t sustain you anymore, come here and look for me!” Thomas shouted again.
He did not receive a reply. Ryosuke just left in silence.
Everyone in the restaurant cursed Ryosuke.
How could someone like virtual-novel.net be so ungrateful?
Thomas had said that for his sake. It was fine if virtual-novel.net did not want to say thank you, but virtual-novel.net did not even turn around. He was truly rude and unappreciative!
Thomas was the only one who did not think that way. He knew that Ryosuke was a person with strong faith, and virtual-novel.net had the determination to risk his life.
A person like that did not care about etiquette.
Thomas took a deep breath and snapped his fingers.
Pisces quickly walked over. “Commander, what is it?”
Thomas said, “Look into Ryosuke’s identity and find out why virtual-novel.net traveled from East Ocean to Summer Land…”
“Yes!” Pisces then immediately set off to investigate.
Thomas looked into the distance and thought, ‘Ryosuke, who are you? Why have you come to Summer Land? How long can you still live?’
