Side Chick Era… Over Chapter 2641
If Thomas had already decided to bring down Victor, how could he possibly let Victor go on ruling Xalvera unchecked?Relying on Victor's trust in him, Thomas had schemed in secret, even working with some of Victor's enemies.He hadn't just cost Victor his sons; he'd made sure Victor would end up with nothing left at all.At the time, Victor's power was still considerable, and Thomas's scheme needed time to run its course.As long as Thomas could hold out until Victor's organization fell into chaos, he'd be safe from any real danger.Thomas could easily have waited until Victor was ruined before seizing Victor's two sons and exacting revenge.But he hadn't done that.The reason was simple. A man who already has nothing losing everything feels different from a man who has everything losing the one thing he treasures most.Thomas wanted Victor to understand that no matter how much power he held, how much he possessed, he still couldn't stop himself from losing it all.What good w

Thomas had countless chances to kill Victor and his two sons outright, yet he never did.He still needed to lie low in Xalvera, using Victor as cover while he rebuilt his strength, so he couldn't afford to let Victor die too quickly.But watching Victor live so comfortably left Thomas deeply unsettled.Marcus knew about this, and naturally felt obligated to help Thomas.So the two of them quietly seized Victor's two sons and locked them away in a hidden dungeon no one would ever find, where they tortured them.Victor had always doted on his two sons above everything else. He searched high and low in a frenzy, yet after more than half a month, he still hadn't found them.The other side kept sending him severed limbs from his sons, one piece at a time. For a man who treasured his sons like his own life, it was agony, day after day of torment.By then, his true, ugly nature had surfaced. He even ordered Thomas to give him one more week. If his sons weren't found by then, he said he

So while Victor kept Thomas in a position of real use on the surface, he'd been guarding against Thomas every step of the way underneath. He'd even deliberately left openings, testing whether Thomas would seize a moment of weakness to try and take his place. Thomas never did.That loyalty was almost hard for Victor to believe. A full year passed with no sign of Thomas making any move, and he'd even turned down the offers other parties kept throwing his way. Only then had Victor fully come to trust Thomas.Marcus was an ambitious man himself, never satisfied playing second fiddle to anyone forever. He'd hinted more than once to Thomas that they should kill Victor and take his place, and every time, Thomas had refused.Marcus had been furious about it. Sure, Victor had some skill. But when it came to real ability and cunning, he wasn't even close to Thomas's level, and on top of that, his filthy habits were disgusting. Why would Thomas work under a man like that? And Victor wasn

Something shifted faintly in Marcus's eyes.By then, he'd already earned Victor's trust and had a decent relationship with his two sons. So Victor's eldest son had told him about something that had happened a few years earlier.Back then, Victor had still been a small-time underling, working for someone else."That man was extremely guarded," Victor's son had said. "At first, he wouldn't let anyone under him get close at all. Even after my father saved his life more than once, risking everything, that man's attitude toward him stayed cold, no gratitude at all for someone who'd saved him. "Of course, that man looked down on people like us from the bottom, deep in his bones, thought we were nothing but opportunists and petty thieves. "But they still needed us bottom-feeders to get things done, still needed to use us. My father resented him for a long time, but held it in, waiting for his chance."Then a few years back, that man finally hit a wall. Seems he took on a student he sh

Honestly, those offers had been genuinely tempting. If Marcus had been in Thomas's shoes, he'd never have been able to resist. But nothing could move Thomas. He seemed to hold some kind of unwavering loyalty to Victor, one that no one could shake.Marcus had genuinely been puzzled at the time, and had asked Thomas more than once. "Victor's not even the strongest man in this territory, and he's suspicious by nature. You've done so much for him, and he still doesn't fully trust you. Why would you insist on staying by his side?"Thomas had only said flatly, "Fate, maybe."Fate. What a load of nonsense. Marcus hadn't believed it for a second. How could someone as coldly pragmatic as Thomas possibly believe in something like fate? It wasn't until much later that he finally understood what Thomas had actually meant by that word.Someone as skilled as Thomas must have trained under someone, and that mentor must have been formidable in his own right. Marcus had been curious why,

Maybe it was because they both spoke the same language that Thomas had spared Marcus. Even so, Marcus had looked at this boy who kept himself in a spotless white shirt every single day and found him unbearably irritating, and had always wanted to get that shirt dirty. Every time he'd gone looking for trouble, the result was the same: he came close to getting beaten half to death, over and over.Later, he'd realized that Thomas hadn't spared him out of any momentary softness. It was simply that he hadn't thought Marcus worth his time at all, finding no entertainment in bullying someone so far beneath him.Thomas had still been young at that point, and while his skills were solid, he'd had no real base of power in that country. However good someone's fighting skill was, a blade could still get through, and he was never going to match armed, hardened criminals on that front. And yet, despite that, Thomas had thrived there. Clever people found a way to survive, and even flourish, no

As Xavier drove, they passed a small restaurant. Sharon suddenly said, "Xavier, could you wait a moment? I want to get a takeout meal."He pulled over without a word.Inside, Sharon placed her order, then told the waiter, "No chili, no onions, no cilantro. And please, pack the rice and dishes sepa

Carter arrived to find only Julliard standing there, holding Theo in his arms. Sharon was nowhere to be seen.He hurried forward. "Julliard, Theo's out of the fire now. Where's Sharon?"Julliard pressed his lips into a thin line, his expression tight. "Sharon said Thomas is here. She insisted on f

Sharon paused, her hand still clutching the map."It's so late… he should be resting by now."Julliard's voice carried a faint reproach. "Resting? Theo was kidnapped because of him. How could he possibly sleep?"Carter, meanwhile, had long abandoned the thought of sending Thomas to check on Theo.
