The message showed that it was a seventy-four year old lady!
Lucia was dumbfounded.
Was this old lady messing around with them?
A top expert like Odissan had failed to kill Thomas.
What could a seventy-four year old lady do? Seek death?
Lucia did not know why Mrs. Morgan would accept the mission. Anyway, she was the only person who was willing to assassinate Thomas.
Usually, Lucia would just ignore an old lady like that because to Lucia, meeting her would only be a waste of time. However, with her current desperation, she had to try every option.
Meeting the old lady would not cost her anything. Therefore, Lucia invited Mrs. Morgan over and received the old lady in the company’s meeting room. Lord Vedastus also came to have a look at the situation.
After they met, Lucia sighed heavily.
Mrs. Morgan was exactly as described in her information. She was old and hunchbacked. Plus, she had trouble walking.
Lucia and Lord Vedastus exchanged glances and shook their heads at the same time.
Could this old lady assassinate Thomas?
She would be exhausted just from walking farther, would she not?
Lucia suppressed her annoyance and asked, “Mrs. Morgan, are you sure you didn’t make a mistake in accepting the mission to assassinate Thomas?”
The old lady nodded and firmly said, “Yes, I’ll kill Thomas for you. As for my reward, you have to hand Art Trading Corporation to me.”
Lucia chuckled in resignation and shook her head. “Mrs. Morgan, you’re so old. Why are you still dreaming? Look at you. You can barely walk, yet you still want to assassinate Thomas? Do you think it’s possible?”
Mrs. Morgan glared at Lucia and scoffed. “Young lady, you should never judge a book by its cover. Yes, I’m old, and it’s hard for me to walk, so it’s naturally impossible for me to assassinate Thomas. I could never be the opponent of a top expert like Thomas even if I were in my twenties, much less now.”
So why did she insist on assassinating him?
Was she playing a trick on them?
Lucia expressed anger on her face, and Lord Vedastus even slammed his hand on the table.
“You’re wasting our time. Get lost!” he yelled.
Just as they were about to chase Mrs. Morgan away, she suddenly said, “Actually, you just want Thomas to die. As long as I can get Thomas killed, why must I be the one to assassinate him? There are so many guards around Thomas, so it’s impossible for anyone to get close to him.”
What she said was logical.
Lord Vedastus turned back, cast a glance at her, and asked, “What else can we do besides assassinate him? Poison him or attack him by force? Do you think those strategies are possible?”
Poisoning him was impossible.
Thomas was a medical expert, and a lot of people around him would make sure to test for poison, so there would be no chance for that. As for attacking by force, just forget it.
Eric had arranged for a large police force to guard Thomas. There were so many guns involved.
Would someone be able to rush inside?
Mrs. Morgan grinned. “I won’t attack by force, poison, or even assassination. I have a special method that can kill Thomas.”
Her words were profound, instantly catching Lord Vedastus and Lucia’s attention.
Lord Vedastus curiously asked, “A special method? What is it?”
Mrs. Morgan snickered like a rat, and her laughter made them shudder with fear.
“There’s just one word to my strategy. It’s a curse!”
When Lord Vedastus heard the word, he chuckled. “Those superstitions are nonsense! You’re really a scammer, old lady. Get out!”
He did not believe Mrs. Morgan.
Despite that, Mrs. Morgan confidently said, “Lord Vedastus, don’t be hasty. I usually work before I get paid. I’ll help you get rid of Thomas first, then I’ll take the money.”
