Jed turned around and started to leave, but Thomas said something loftily, “Mr. Jed, you were originally the successor of Sterling Technology, but I took your position by force out of the blue. Aren’t you jealous of me?”Jed suddenly stopped moving. After a moment, Jed turned around with a smile and said, “Of course not. You’re Mr. Mayo’s son, and it’s only suitable that the son takes over his father’s business, so you’re the perfect candidate to take over Mr. Mayo. Don’t worry, Mr. Thomas, I will do my best to support both you and Mr. Mayo.”Thomas nodded. “Mr. Jed, you’re a really good man.”“Thank you for the praise. Then, may I leave?”“Of course.”This time, Jed left. Iris watched Jed as he left and said with a sigh, “Mr. Jed is a good boy. He’s young, and he already managed to become the general manager. His abilities and character are both top-tier too. He’s not jealous at all about you taking over his position either. What a good boy. I’m impressed.”Thomas exchanged
Not sick but pretending to be?Lying intentionally?It was not only Iris who was shocked when she heard the two sentences. Even the highly capable intelligence agent, Aries, was stunned as well.Really?Aries dared not believe in what he heard and asked, “Can this information be trusted, Commander-in-chief? I have not received such information from any of my informants.”It was information that even an expert intelligence agent like Aries had no info about.If it were not for the “breath” that Thomas had, even Thomas would have been deceived.Iris asked, “Explain it to me, Thomas. What exactly is going on?”Thomas explained, “None of you will understand even if I explained. But to put it in a simple manner, I noticed a strange phenomenon in that person’s body when I was checking on him.“There seems to be something wrong with his internal organs, but in fact, it is just a facade created using some special means.“Even a doctor will have a hard time noticing it.“There actual
Iriz Crus had a hard time believing in it.She said, “If the Nelson Mayo I saw today is a fake and he had already taken the position of the director, why did he not just kill the real Nelson and be done with it?”Aries laughed. “If the fake could afford to kill him, he would not be finding a doctor to treat him. My guess is that Sterling Technology’s core techniques and secrets are still with the real Nelson. Even though the fake Nelson is controlling the real Nelson with drugs, he is still unable to obtain the core techniques and secrets. Furthermore, even if he managed to get his hands on them, he might not be able to use them himself.“Hence, in order to maintain Sterling Technology and his job, the fake Nelson will do whatever it takes to keep the real Nelson alive!”Basically, everything was as clear as day.Iris swallowed her saliva and said fearfully, “In that case, why are we still staying here? What difference does it make from being monitored constantly by the fake Nelso
At a stall in the night market, two men sat in the corner with kebabs and beer.“Are you still angry?” Jed Motley asked.“Do you think that it is possible for me to not be?” Craig Eastwood answered.Craig wanted to mess with Thomas during the day, but instead, Thomas severely taught him a lesson.Craig ended up like a hostess, pouring wine for others for the whole duration of the banquet.He had lost his reputation.How would he still be able to manage his subordinates in line after this? Would he still be able to keep his position as the head of research and development?“I am so angry!” Craig bit hard on the kebab, it was like he was biting Thomas.Jed laughed and poured Craig another glass of beer.“I gave you so many hints but you ignored them. Who can you put the blame on for wanting to jump a gun?”Craig said in an unhappy tone, “Who knew that rascal, Thomas, is such a drinker? It is like he is not human. Besides, why am I doing all these? Is it not for you?“Look at y
“Insolence!”As a ‘war’ outbreak happened right in front of his eyes, Thomas Mayo took the initiative to stand up at this crucial moment and said, “Father, and Mr. Eastwood. I understand how both of you feel.”“That is right, how can someone not work and get paid nonetheless?”“So father, why don’t you assign some tasks for me? Hmm, since Mr. Eastwood is not happy about it, why not assign me temporarily to his research and development department so I can work with Mr. Eastwood? How about that?”Craig Eastwood laughed out loud. “Alright, welcome aboard!”Nelson Mayo looked far more unhappy than he was before this.But in fact, he was not actually biased or favoring Thomas at all.The reason why he wanted Thomas to not get any work at all was to stop Thomas from getting his hands on the company’s core secrets. In a way, he was ‘soft containing’ Thomas by giving him the position of deputy director.He wanted Thomas to have completely nothing to do.Thomas had realized the problem
What Thomas said managed to attract everyone’s attention. They looked at each other in surprise.The technician Diana Red said in disbelief, “Oh young master, are you kidding us? All of us worked together and yet we failed but you are saying you can handle it alone? Who do you think you are?”Craig laughed. “You can’t say that. No matter what he is still the young master of Sterling Technology and the successor of the director. Who knows, he might be capable, right?”He then placed a copy of the proposal on the table. “Deputy Director Mayo, this is the latest proposal that we came up with. If you need it, take it.”Thomas waved his hand. “That is unnecessary. It will be sufficient if you provide me with what Dream Network demands are.”“Oh, so you do not even need any help from the research and development department team?”“You can say so.”Craig laughed out loud. “Alright, since you are so arrogant, what else can I say? Provide Deputy Director Mayo with all the demands that Dr
“Caused trouble? Since when did I cause any trouble?”“Heh, till now you still do not know what you did wrong huh? You gave Thomas breathing air. You gave him the opportunity to join the research and development department. Do you know that the director is furious about this?”Craig Eastwood was dumbfounded. “You are not serious, are you? Even if he wants to protect his child, he does not need to go to such an extent, does he? Is Director Mayo so reluctant to place Thomas in my department?” “You rascal!” Jed Motley was usually polite but yet he was unable to hold back. Talking to stupid people was really frustrating.He thought about it for a moment. “Your research and development department has all the whole company’s core techniques and secrets. How could you allow Thomas to enter your department? Can you be held responsible if he manages to obtain any important information?”Craig panicked.“Oh, so that is the case.“Hey, Mr. Motley, rest assured. I will never let Thomas ob
In Dream Network’s meeting room, Jake Willis, the boss, urgently gathered a few important executives and discussed the matter of receiving Ms. Martin.Today, Ms. Daisy Martin would come to their place to conduct an inspection.This was because their company produced many games, videos, as well as music, that were related to comics, and Daisy loved it.Jake said, “Ms. Martin likes our work. She is personally coming over for inspection, and it is an honor for us. Everyone knows that Ms. Martin is the pampered daughter of the Martin family head. As long as we serve her properly, the Martin family will definitely increase their investment in our company!”Everyone was delighted.“Boss, I suggest we exhibit our works at the entrance so that Ms. Martin will be able to see them the moment she arrives. It could make her like us more.”Jake nodded. “That’s a pretty good idea. Go and get it done now!”While everyone was talking about it, the door suddenly opened. At the door, the secretar
No one knew how far down the title Emperor of Luck was inherited.They had finally caught Luck.Following that, Eric leaped into action and reeled in his haul as fast as he could. With that, all the remaining accomplices of Luck were caught in one fell swoop!The two million innocent citizens were saved, as all of them took the antidote.Once again, Thomas saved the day.In order to express their gratitude, the citizens decided to erect statues of Thomas in Celandine City and many other cities as well.In the House of Vistaria.Phoebe ran towards her father hurriedly. She then smiled at him and said, “What did I tell you, dad? Thomas will definitely turn things around, right? I won!”Declan was so agitated, that he started tearing up.Thomas was really too amazing. He was capable of turning things around, even in such a predicament.At the same time, the curse that had plagued the Mars family for over a thousand years was finally broken. From then onwards, Declan was finally
Luck was dumbfounded. Why was Thomas still alive and kicking?“No need to doubt your own eyes. I am indeed still alive.”The crowd parted, making way for a very familiar figure. It was Thomas, the very Thomas whom the public watched him die.As he walked, he said, “Our previous research has already reached ninety-nine percent completion. But no matter how hard we tried, the final one percent remained out of our grasp. At that time, I thought that perhaps the only way was to drink the Ancestral Water and experience the poison itself, which would allow me to have a breakthrough for the final one percent.“And that was what happened. I managed to do it.“After drinking the Ancestral Water, I finally understood what the one percent was and successfully created the antidote for Ancestral Water. Now that the antidote has been created, it will sever your connection with the Ancestral Water.“You will not be able to kill anyone anymore.“You have lost, Luck.”Lost?Luck's eyes were wi
It was obvious that Eric could not afford to take a gamble this time. But he had no choice. His only choice was to listen to whatever the other party said and prepare a helicopter in twelve hours’ time.That was not all. He was also supposed to request for his superiors to help Luck get out of the country.The thought of it made Eric furious.“Damn it!”He left in anger to deal with the rest of the matter.The sky of Celandine City was covered with clouds.The patriarch, Declan, was in his garden in the House of Vistaria. He stared at the withered flowers as he grieved.His entire life was spent supporting Mr. Cole in hopes that he would be able to create an antidote to Ancestral Water. But at the end of the day, Mr. Cole accomplished nothing.His two disciples — Capricious Holy Hand Elliot, and Thomas — were both dead.There was no one in the world who was capable of creating the antidote for Ancestral Water anymore.“Alas...” Declan sighed. It seemed that it was impossible
At that moment, the general public was suddenly dumbfounded, as if struck by lightning. Everyone was down in the dumps.Many of those with poor psychological strength directly collapsed on the ground.They believed Thomas' death could be exchanged for their own safety, but who knew, in the end, they got nothing, and Luck, as usual, used their lives as a bargaining chip to force the authorities to listen to His Majesty's words.No antidote to Ancestral Water would ever be created by chance.The lives of people were still in His Majesty's hands.Whenever luck wanted them to die, they would die without any ability to resist.However, this was not the most frightening part. What was even more frightening than this was that the only person who could create the antidote to Ancestral Water had been forced to die alive by them.It would be impossible to create the antidote to Ancestral Water without Thomas.Mr. Cole and Elliot had all died, Thomas was the last person who mastered the
Eric sighed deeply, "Thomas, even though things have reached this point, you still remain so kind.""I have nothing to say except to choose death because the research failed." Thomas let out a long breath. "Before I die, I want to talk to my family on the phone."Originally, Emma and the others came to Celandine City because they wanted to be reunited with Thomas.Who knew it had turned into a life and death situation?The world was like a chess game; everything was unpredictable.When Thomas was video calling with his family, Emma was already bathed in tears at the other end. She was crying and shouting at Thomas to not be impulsive, and saying perhaps there was still room for things to turn around.That was what she thought, but it was not the case.Every minute Thomas dragged on, more people perished as the result of Ancestral Water, and the crowd’s fear and rage grew.Thomas’ life no longer belonged to him."Honey, take care of the baby."I love you."Those were Thomas’
For such demanding research, half a day was really too short.Thomas had recruited the best doctors and researchers he could find to work on a detailed study of Ancestral Water.In the past, it was difficult to achieve breakthroughs in the research on Ancestral Water. That was because figuring out how to create an antidote for the Ancestral Water was challenging. On the other hand, it was also because obtaining the Ancestral Water was incredibly difficult. Because they only had a few samples, the results were underwhelming.However, it was different now. Because the entire city's water supply had been turned into Ancestral Water, they were able to collect the samples at their convenience. This made it much easier for Thomas and the others to get the materials.With Thomas in charge, hundreds of researchers were conducting a massive study in just half a day. Unfortunately, things did not go according to plan.Thomas still failed. “We almost got it.“We were so close to makin
How sinister. “All we want is nothing but—safety.“As long as we’re safe, we definitely won’t make it difficult for everyone. If we’re safe, no one will die.“Now then, I have a small request to make to ensure everyone’s safety.“I demand that Thomas drink Ancestral Water immediately! This person is a real hassle for His Majesty, and we must keep him under our control for our own protection. Please forgive us for the inconvenience.“We'll only give everyone half a day to consider this. The emperor will begin killing people if Thomas does not step forward and drink Ancestral Water by this afternoon.“Okay. I've said everything I wanted to say. Goodbye.” The TV screen went dark, and so did Eric's face.He kicked the trash can over and said fiercely, “What is this? You're the only person in the world who can create an antidote for Ancestral Water’s poison, Thomas!“Once you drink Ancestral Water, you’ll be controlled by them!“Won't you have to obey Luck's every command by the
After listening to Thomas’ description, Eric also displayed a look of shock and said two words, “As expected.”What did he mean by, as expected?Was it possible that Eric knew that Luck was behind it from the start?“Thomas, follow me.”Eric took Thomas into an empty ward and locked the door. The two sat in the corner of the ward.He whispered, “There is a piece of news that I haven’t announced to the public, that is, besides Celandine City, there are more than ten cities that have problems. Do you know which cities they are?”Thomas’ eyes lit up. He already knew what Eric wanted to say.At the previous meeting, Eric had clearly stated that more than ten cities across the country had been controlled by Luck. Now, there happened to have more than ten cities where residents had been poisoned.Was there such a coincidence?Thomas said, “The residents are poisoned by Ancestral Water. Over ten cities are all under the control of Luck’s forces, so it is almost a certainty that Luck
“I didn’t. I saw the news early in the morning and was shocked. I haven’t dared to drink a sip of water until now.” Pisces took a deep breath and said, “Is this a natural disaster or a man-made disaster? It’s really terrible.”No matter whether it was a natural disaster or a man-made disaster, it was no small matter.Soon, Thomas drove to the hospital.Eric had been waiting here for a long time. As soon as he saw Thomas coming, he quickly let him enter the ward.He saw a patient lying on the hospital bed with his eyes closed, and his body was trembling. Although it was very hot, he was as cold as if he had just been lifted out of the freezer.A doctor walked over and said, “Mr. Mayo, let me tell you the general overview of the current situation.”The virus was spread through water sources.After drinking water with the virus, the virus would lurk in the human body.However, lurking did not mean that it would cause an outbreak.At present, over one hundred thousand people had b
