Chapter 359
Even Taylor stared at Thomas in astonishment. He had just met Thomas the day before, so he could not understand what could have caused such a dramatic change in a young man overnight! However, that was not the most surprising part for Taylor. What shocked him the most was that Thomas had come to him! Does that mean the six old monsters who went to kill him were unsuccessful and killed by him instead?
With this thought in mind, he could not help but tremble. He thought that without his ‘gift,’ Thomas would undoubtedly lose. However, he guessed it wrong!
It was obvious that Thomas had come with such a strong killing intent because he knew about Taylor’s attack on Olivia. No wonder John and Raymond had brought their men to attack the Turner Family’s stronghold. Now, seeing Thomas in person, everything became clear.
He sat on the couch in the hall and coldly uttered, “I didn’t intend to kill you, Taylor, but you brought it upon yourself. You should know what I mean.”
Taylor let out a breath. Even the six old monsters had died at Thomas’ hands, let alone himself. He had been foolish! It would have been much better to remain low-key, just as before. Instead, he provoked Thomas. Now, he could not escape death.
He knew that Thomas intended to kill him because he could see it from the determined attitude of John and Raymond. Even if he begged for mercy on his knees now, Thomas probably would not spare him.
Taylor had indeed collaborated with a new backer, but their protection came with conditions. He had to transfer all of Saunder Family’s assets to them before they would recognize his family’s subordinate status. However, they would not protect him out of the goodness of their hearts since the assets had not been allocated.
Warner indignantly shouted, “Thomas! Our families have not provoked you. Why must you exterminate us?”
Thomas glanced at him. “I’m talking to Taylor now. It has nothing to do with you.”
“You…”
He wanted to say something more but was stopped by Taylor. “Warner, it’s useless. Thomas, go ahead and make your move!” After saying that, he closed his eyes and calmly awaited death.
Thomas stood up and walked toward him, landing a punch on Taylor’s head and killing him instantly. NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.
“Taylor!” Warner let out a heart-wrenching cry. It was evident he had a good relationship with him.
“Warner, Zane Family is the only one among the Six Greatest Families that haven’t provoked my family. However, I can’t take any more risks. Remember, choose your side wisely and open your eyes wide in your next life!”
Crack!
Thomas did not hold back and snapped Warner’s neck, allowing him to die quickly and painlessly. Perhaps, it was the best outcome for him that Thomas could provide. He shrugged his shoulders, signaling his relief. The Six Greatest Families of Irieson had now become a part of history forever.
“Thomas! Your hair and face…” Raymond and John approached, struggling to find the right words. How can Thomas suddenly age so much?
“Yeah, Thomas, what happened exactly?” William and his brother approached him as well, seeking answers.
“Don’t worry, I’m fine. I just need to take some medicine, and I’ll recover.” He patted the shoulders of his two brothers, then turned and walked away.
Before Thomas could get into his car, he saw Quincy and Samuel approaching. “Oh, f*ck!”
Seeing Thomas in such a state, even Samuel, who had been mentally prepared, was still startled. Thomas smiled bitterly, shook his head, and got into his car, driving away.
Samuel watched the Maserati’s taillights gradually disappear, unable to regain his composure for a long time. “Dr. Hofstead, let’s go. We can talk inside,” he reminded him from the side.
“Okay!” The two of them entered the Turner Residence, and the first thing they did was send Sean and William away.
The four of them stood in the hall of the Turner Residence, looking at each other, unsure how to start the conversation. In the end, Samuel broke the silence and asked, “What happened to Thomas? Why did he suddenly age so much?”
“We don’t know either!” Raymond and John shook their heads.
“If my guess is correct, Thomas might have used some forbidden technique, sacrificing his life force as a price to enhance his power forcefully. He overstrained his body,” Quincy explained solemnly. He was worthy of being the former number-one doctor in Droycore. His knowledge and insight were extensive, hitting the nail on the head.
“That should be it.” Raymond suddenly realized. The Elliott Family, after all, was also a renowned medical family and had naturally heard of such forbidden techniques.
“You may not know this, but Thomas failed in his cultivation last time because he couldn’t bear to see us perish at the hands of Cordan. He came out of seclusion before consolidating his strength,” Quincy
explained calmly.
The three of them gasped in shock. If that was the case, Thomas must have used forbidden techniques to defeat those six old monsters.
Throughout history, failure in cultivation had only one consequence, which was a decrease in power. Thomas must have fallen into this unfortunate outcome as well. However, how many years of lifespan did he lose to transform from a spirited young man to a white-haired elder in the blink of an eye? Thirty years?
“Alright. The situation has already unfolded, and worrying won’t help. Thomas is highly skilled in medicine, so let’s hope he has a way to deal with it himself.”
“Let’s hope so.”
Quincy glanced at the three in front of him. “Erase all traces of today’s events, and then divide up the assets of their four greatest families.”
On the other hand, Thomas did not return directly to the villa. It would surely frighten Olivia and Chloe if they saw him in this state. Instead, he went to a pharmacy and bought some medicinal herbs. Then, he went to a hair salon and dyed his hair back to black before returning to Northpine Villa.
He brewed the medicine, tilted his head back, and drank it. This remedy could make the wrinkles on his face disappear, but it did not affect his full head of white hair.
“Forget it. I’ll just have to go to the hair salon more often,” he muttered to himself and went to rest in his bedroom.
It was not until 7.00PM that Thomas’ appearance returned to normal. He drove to Keyshire Property and picked up Chloe and Olivia.
When they arrived home, Olivia immediately rushed into the kitchen and started bustling around preparing dinner, declining Thomas and Chloe’s offer to help. That was a chance for her to perform well in front of Thomas’ ‘family,’ and she could not let it slip away easily.
Chloe sat on the couch, looking at him beside her, cautiously asking, “Thomas, what do you think of her?”
