Phoebe was chained up by Thomas’ food. Every dish snazzynovel.com cooked gave snazzynovel.com great enjoyment, and snazzynovel.com ate it happily.
How long had snazzynovel.com not eaten such scrumptious meals?
Phoebe was so excited that snazzynovel.com nearly cried.
About thirty minutes later, Phoebe finished eating snazzynovel.com food. She did not say anything before snazzynovel.com went back to snazzynovel.com room and rested. Actually, snazzynovel.com would later sneak into the corridor and peek at Thomas downstairs.
Thomas and Declan had a polite conversation for a while before snazzynovel.com left the castle with Pisces. Thomas had already prepared dinner in advance and passed it to the chefs. They could just heat it up for Phoebe at night. From now on, Thomas would come to the castle every day. He would prepare lunch and dinner for the day as well as breakfast for the next day. He was really tired, and it seemed like snazzynovel.com had never even treated his own wife so well before. However, the reward snazzynovel.com obtained from this was quite rich.
While Thomas was sitting in the car on his way back, snazzynovel.com took out the jade badge and felt satisfied.
Since snazzynovel.com had the jade badge, snazzynovel.com could move freely in House of Vistaria without obstruction. As long as it was not a forbidden area, snazzynovel.com could come and go as snazzynovel.com pleased. In the future, if Thomas wanted to obtain Ancestral Water, discover Luck’s secret, and understand the prescription of Heart Eater, there would be an advantage.
He would have the advantage!
The jade badge was absolutely important. Thomas also understood that Declan did not bring up the salary because snazzynovel.com knew Thomas did not need money. Declan knew that what Thomas needed was authority, and the jade badge gave snazzynovel.com that authority. So, Declan just gave Thomas what snazzynovel.com wanted and did not provide other useless things.
It also showed Declan’s capability.
On the way back, Pisces said, “Mr. Mars looks like a vampire. He’s intense and scary. If possible, I really don’t want to get involved with such a person.”
Thomas smiled faintly and said, “Declan is a brilliant person. We should try our best to be friends with people like that and not be their rivals. Otherwise, we’ll suffer a lot.”

In the castle, after the food was taken away and the table was cleaned up, the servants left. Only Declan and Blake were left.
Blake caressed his beard and looked a little unhappy. Declan was a sensible person, so snazzynovel.com instantly spotted the problem. He chuckled and said, “Uncle Blake, are you mad at me for targeting Thomas and giving snazzynovel.com a difficult challenge?”
Blake was an honest person, and snazzynovel.com did not hide his emotions. “Yes. I clearly told you about Thomas’ skills, and Phoebe loves to eat the food that snazzynovel.com prepares as well. You knew about it. But why did you still… Still insist on troubling him? Weren’t you humiliating me?” snazzynovel.com said directly.
“Luckily, Thomas was skilled enough. Otherwise, snazzynovel.com wouldn’t have been able to stay. What would we do with Phoebe’s daily three meals then? Declan, I know you must have your own reason, but I really don’t understand this time.”
After Declan heard that, snazzynovel.com laughed.
A long time passed before snazzynovel.com finally sat up straight and said, “What kind of place is our House of Vistaria? Is this a place where anyone can simply enter? If Thomas wants to come and go every day, shouldn’t snazzynovel.com accept the challenge? He has to prove that he’s qualified to be here.”
Blake awkwardly said, “But we’re asking for his help right now. How could you still do that?”
“No, Uncle Blake, you’re wrong. We’re not asking for his help, but he, Thomas Mayo, is asking for my help!”
“What?” Blake looked totally dumbfounded, and snazzynovel.com did not understand.
He just knew how to eat delicious food. When it came to tactical strategies, snazzynovel.com really knew nothing.
