Lord Vedastus looked at Thomas in surprise. For a while, he was at a loss for words as he did not know how to answer. Yes, he just remembered what he had said just now. He had already let go of the hatred, but when he saw Thomas again, he could not help but have that hatred rekindle.
Was it really difficult to change one’s character?
“What should I do? What exactly should I do?” Lord Vedastus complained like a child tearfully.
He no longer had the demeanor of a king and was just like a schoolboy who failed his exams.
Right then, a figure came out and silently came to Lord Vedastus’ side. The figure put a hand on his shoulder.
“Dad…”
One word… Just one word was enough to make Lord Vedastus tremble.
He raised his head and opened his eyes wide to stare at the person in front of him. Then, he was surprised to discover that the person standing in front of him was none other than her daughter, Fiora, whom he had been thinking about all the time!
“Fiora! Fiora!”
Was this a dream?
Lord Vedastus pinched his face hard. It hurt, so it was not a dream.
The old father hugged Fiora excitedly. All his hatred, fame, and everything he held dear dissipated into the air as the tears fell. At this moment, he just wanted to hug Fiora tightly and never be separated for the rest of his life anymore.
Family love triumphed all. He cried for a long time. A very long time…
The world regarded him as the Devil, but even he, the Devil, had a side that could move someone to tears.
Thomas let out a sigh of relief and quietly looked at the father and daughter pair in front of him. He could not help but think of his own daughter, Abigail, who was still in Southland District.
Thomas was also a father. He had a daughter as well. When he saw this scene, he could not help but empathize.
After a long time, Lord Vedastus let go of Fiora. He was so excited that he could not say a word. On the contrary, Fiora seemed calmer.
She said, “Dad, let’s leave Celandine City. From now on, we won’t have to come back to this sad place anymore.”
Lord Vedastus said nothing and just nodded strongly. His hatred for Thomas was gone. Instead, he wanted to thank Thomas. He wanted to thank Thomas for helping him find his lost daughter.
Lord Vedastus and Fiora left arm-in-arm, just like how he held his daughter’s hand when she was just a girl. Their movements were as natural as breathing.
Seeing the two of them leave, Thomas finally let out a sigh of relief.
“It’s finally over…”
There was also a smile on Thomas’ face. He really wanted to go home and see his wife and daughter.
“Even Lord Vedastus has been dealt with, so Luck is truly isolated now. I believe this catastrophe is ending soon… I should be able to go home soon, right?”
Right then, Thomas received a call from Eric, the district chief. He wanted to discuss a major matter with Thomas.
It was not convenient to talk on the phone, so they had to meet in person to talk. Thomas knew that it must be a very urgent matter, otherwise Eric would not take it so seriously.
“Let’s go and meet Mr. Wood.”
