At this time, Thomas was patiently drinking tea while waiting. He had expected this earlier on.If your proposal had been turned down a few times, it would be a normal thing to be neglected by the host company. Thomas initially thought that he would need to wait for one to two hours, but he did not realize that the staff members would come over only after half an hour.They were quite speedy.“Hey, are you the representative of Sterling Technology, Thomas Mayo? Hi, I’m Dream Network’s boss, Jake Willis.”“Hi, Mr. Willis.”The two of them shook hands before they took their respective seats.Jake said, “We’ve turned down Sterling Technology’s proposal a few times. Honestly, I really doubt your ability.”Thomas flashed a faint smile. He handed him the new proposal. “I guarantee that I will not disappoint you this time.”“Oh? Are you that confident? What if I feel disappointed again?”What should Thomas do? What else could he do? He would just grab his proposal and leave.But,
Based on the impression that Jake had, the Martin family and Gomez family were rivals. Dealing with Thomas meant dealing with the Gomez family. Therefore, as the Martin family’s daughter, Daisy should be ecstatic.Yet, it seemed that Daisy did not look happy at the moment.She did not just feel unhappy, she was furious!That made Jake slightly stunned. He had helped her to deal with her rival, but she was unhappy? What the heck was going on?Daisy’s unhappiness put Jake in an awkward position.If he had known that this would happen, he would have accepted Thomas’ proposal. After all, it had been completed so perfectly and amazingly. It would really be a shame if he just gave it up.But, Daisy did not care about that.All she cared about was Thomas.Daisy looked angry as she criticized Jake, “Does Dream Network work like this? Oh, my goodness, you’ve totally destroyed my good impression of this company. Were all the otaku works done by you jerks? I don’t want to see those works
“No, I can’t return this proposal to you.”“What?”“Mr. Mayo, I’ve been thinking for a while. This proposal is perfect, and this is what our company needs at the moment!”“But you just…” “I was silly earlier. I nearly lost such an amazing proposal. Mr. Mayo, I am willing to make up for it. I’m willing to buy this proposal at double the price and have a strong collaboration with Sterling Technology!He did not just accept it with a double price.He was really paying with a large amount of money.He could not help it. If he wanted to please Daisy and convince Thomas to put down the proposal, he had to make some sacrifices. Otherwise, he could not get over it.Jake was very smart in this aspect.Thomas chuckled.Some people were really good at changing sides.But, this was also good. He could successfully complete his mission, and he could explain when he went back to the company.“Mr. Willis, I’ll just do according to what you’ve said.”“You’re welcome!” Jake opened up anot
Thomas also got himself a cup of soft drink. He took a sip. “It tastes good.”This eased Daisy’s awkwardness.Thomas suddenly stared at Daisy for a long while for some reason, and it made Daisy’s face turn red, and her heart pounded crazily fast.“Mr. Mayo, what are you looking at?”“I’m thinking that coincidence really happened in the world. I helped you once, and you also helped me once. What makes me more unexpected is that you’re actually the Martin family’s daughter.”Daisy’s expression suddenly changed.What was wrong with being the daughter of the Martin family? Was Thomas going to keep a distance from her because of her status?“Mr. Mayo, will you keep your distance from me because of my status?”Thomas chuckled. “I’ll never judge people based on their status.”“That will be… great.”Thomas asked, “So, will you have hostility against me because I’m from Sterling Technology?”“Why would I?” Daisy pouted and said, “I hate those family disputes the most. Can’t everybody
Did he treat everyone like they were idiots?“Thomas, you have to be responsible for what you’ve said. You shouldn’t make irresponsible statements, do you understand?”Craig really felt worked up, and he yelled at Thomas directly.Thomas reached out to take out the contract and put it on the table. “This is the contract that I signed with Dream Network just now. You can take a look at it.”“It’s impossible!”Craig immediately reached out to pick up the contract. He flipped through it and carefully took a look.Jed frowned. He also walked over and took a look at it. Other staff members including Diana also could not help but move over. A large group of people surrounded the contract together.Yes, it was Dream Network’s contract.But, was this contract real?“Diana, please ask our colleague from the Department of Legal Affairs to come and confirm the contract’s authenticity.”“Yes.”The Department of Legal Affairs sent their staff member over in less than two minutes. The sta
Jed stared at the phone on the table and hesitated.Did he not want to make the call?No, he wanted to make this call to confirm it, but he did not want the trouble that would come after he made the call.It was fine if he could show that Thomas had faked it.However, if Jake had done it willingly and Thomas had achieved it using some special methods, what could he do?Besides, Jed felt that the latter was more possible.It was meaningless if Tomas faked it because he would definitely be exposed when it was the time for the collaboration. Although he did not know what method Thomas used, Thomas must have paid a huge price in order to make Jake sign the contract with a higher price in such a direct manner.In fact, Thomas did not make any sacrifice because he saved Daisy once.Jed, who did not know the truth, could only make his own guess.At this time, Craig could not bear the sight anymore. He scoffed, walked to the table, and said, “Let’s make the call. Do you think we’d b
Before Diana left, she secretly said to Thomas, “You can’t keep it a secret. I’ll find out how you did it!”Thomas smiled faintly without answering.This girl had a pretty high curiosity. It was not a strange thing. If she had to survive in the R&D Department that was full of men, how could she stay without a certain level of curiosity?Meanwhile, Jed and Craig came to a remote and silent corner and stopped walking.Craig asked, “No, bro, why did you yell at me just now?”Jed glared at him. “Thomas looked as if he was not afraid that you made the call. If you make the call, wouldn’t you get yourself into trouble? I scolded you because you looked down on Thomas. You’re so stupid!”Craig scoffed. “Aren’t you thinking too highly of Thomas?”“It’s not that I merely think highly of him. He’s the one with the ability.” Jed analyzed it. “Thomas was able to become the chief officer in charge in the Southland District and the God of War on the west coast, so there must be something that
In the chairman’s office in Pivot Technology, Master Centipede made a pot of tea and enjoyed it alone.Before he drank more, the door was opened, and Laura walked into the office with a solemn face. Her face did not look like something good had happened.Before she spoke, Master Centipede already asked, “What is it? What made you feel so gloomy?”“Hmm.”“Tell me, what is it about? Thomas Mayo or Sterling Technology?”“Both.”Master Centipede was stunned. “What do you mean by ‘both?’”Laura breathed out a long sigh. “I already knew Thomas’ purpose of coming to Central City. It’s closely related to Sterling Technology.”“Huh?” Master Centipede chuckled. “This Thomas always turns up like a bad penny. We haven’t gotten even with him for the old grudge, and he starts getting involved with Sterling Technology. Tell me now, what’s his relationship with Sterling Technology?”Laura thought for a while and said, “Thomas is the chairman of Sterling Technology, Nelson’s biological son.”
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
