Chapter 301

If you want me to leave, just say it, but at least give me a decent reason.

Just as William was lost in his thoughts, Samuel turned around and glanced at him. “Didn’t I ask you togo check on the vegetables? Why are you still here?”

“Grandpa, your reason is a bit far-fetched. I feel greatly disrespected,” William complained with a hint ofgrievance.

Samuel paused for a moment, after which a gentle smile appeared on his face as he said in a very nicetone, “Get lost.”

“Oh, okay!”

William retreated in fear and left the room.

Samuel personally poured a cup of tea and brought it to Thomas, asking, “Thomas, is this the tub youask for?”

“Yes.” Thomas nodded.

“What do you need the tub for?”

“It’s useful.”

“What’s it for?”

Quincy had already informed the Peralta Family and the Morton Family about Thomas’ currentsituation. Even the Elliott Family knew about it. Samuel recalled Thomas’ visit to the Elliott Family’spharmacy today where he bought so many medicinal herbs. It made him feel like Thomas waspreparing for something.

Thomas smiled, lifted the teacup in front of him, and drank it all in one go. He didn’t say a word.

He wasn’t planning to tell Samuel. He had to carry some burdens himself. There was no need toinvolve others and make them worry.

While toning up his body could forcibly enhance his close combat abilities, the consequences it broughtwere beyond imagination, and even a slight mishap could lead to death.

Samuel furrowed his brow and stared at Thomas. From his expression, Samuel knew that Thomasdidn’t intend to tell him anything. Further questioning would be in vain. He knew Thomas’ personalitytoo well. If there was something he didn’t want to do or say, even if a knife was pressed against histhroat, he wouldn’t give in.

“Old Mr. Peralta, there’s something I need your help with.”

Suddenly, Thomas remembered that the process of toning up his body would take several days, duringwhich he couldn’t be disturbed. He could replace a quiet place to hide, but what about Chloe and Olivia? Ifsomething happened to them while he was away, it would be disastrous, so he wanted to ask Samuelto protect the two girls.

As for Quincy, Thomas didn’t want to trouble him anymore since he had already helped enough, and hehad just been angered by the old witch, Wilkerson, so he should rest. If you want me to leave, just sayit, but at least give me a decent reason.

Samuel waved his hand. “Thomas, there’s no need to be polite between us. If you need anything, justspeak up.”

“I might be away for a few days. During this time, please make sure to protect Olivia and Chloe well,”Thomas said seriously.

“You’re going away for a few days? How many exactly?”

“At least five days. Maybe even seven.”

At this point, Thomas’ expression suddenly became solemn because there was another sentence hehadn’t uttered. Or maybe I’ll never come back.

Samuel looked deeply at Thomas. He had a rough idea of what Thomas was planning to do. He’sgoing to enhance his strength.

He must be planning to use some secret technique to forcefully improve his strength in a short periodof time. Only in this way could he have a chance in the life-and-death battle against the old monstersfrom the Six Greatest Families.

Samuel felt somewhat apprehensive. Being his age, he had seen and experienced a lot. Improvingone’s strength was undoubtedly a good thing, but there was no such thing as free lunch in the world. Itseemed that forcibly enhancing one’s strength carried great risks.

How old was Thomas? He had not only killed the martial arts experts of Cornelius and the PearsonFamily, but also possessed a secret method to forcibly enhance his strength. Most importantly, hedared to take desperate measures. Such a person was truly a peerless genius!

Compared to Thomas, the Genius of Capitalis, Gunnar Flynn was simply trash! Without theconcentrated efforts of and the extensive resources invested in him by the Flynn Family, what was heworth?

How could a flower in a greenhouse be compared to a soaring eagle in the sky?

Samuel nodded gravely. “Thomas, rest assured. Olivia and Chloe will be protected by the PeraltaFamily and the Morton Family. As long as our two families are not destroyed, I guarantee that they will

not suffer any harm. Also, you asked William to replace a quiet place for you, and I have already foundone. You can go to Acketts Estate. It belongs to our family. It’s very secluded, and I will leave a fewtrusted subordinates there to assist you.”

Samuel understood that he couldn’t change Thomas’ decision, especially given the currentcircumstances. Thomas could only rely on himself to fight against the old monsters from the SixGreatest Families. His current strength was far from sufficient!

That’s all I can do for Thomas.

Thomas clasped his fists toward Samuel. “Thank you, Old Mr. Peralta!”

Then, he asked Samuel to send someone to deliver the tub to Acketts Estate. Afterward, he drovetoward his rental house. Before starting the process of toning up his body, he wanted to see his sisteronce more.

“Thomas.” Chloe seemed much better and greeted Thomas as he entered.

Thomas nodded and felt relieved upon seeing Chloe’s improved condition. As long as she wasn’t thesame lost and devastated person as before, he was reassured.

“Where’s Mr. Hahn?”

“He went out for a walk. He’s probably playing chess with someone in the park now,” Chloe replied.

Thomas approached the urn containing Chloe’s mother’s ashes, took several candles, and worshipedChloe’s mother.

Chloe bowed her head deeply as she suddenly felt a sense of self-blame. Her mother’s ashes hadbeen stolen by Thomas’ enemies, so he must have felt terrible, right? The degree of his suffering was

probably no less than her own. Yet, Thomas had endured the pain and helped her retrieve her mother’sashes while comforting and consoling her.

Chloe, oh, Chloe, you’re really foolish! How can you show such sorrow in front of Thomas? Won’t itmake him feel more guilty?

Similarly, Thomas had mixed feelings. He thought of his deceased good friend, Zachary. If he couldn’tovercome this challenge, he would probably die during the process of toning up his body. He wonderedif he would be able to meet his good friend again in the afterlife.

After the worship, Thomas sat down on the couch and motioned for Chloe to come closer.

Chloe walked over to Thomas in a daze.

“Keep this bank card. The password is your birthday and this is the key to Villa No. 66 in NorthpineVilla. This rental house is a bit too small, so you can go take a look there later. If you like it you canmove there with Mr. Hahn. It would be good for Olivia to have companions too.”
