However, he said that Nelson had given him the money, and this would look more reasonable while not exposing too many secrets about him.Diana asked again, “Why do you want to help me?”Thomas shrugged. “Of course I have my purposes to help you. It’s impossible for me to help you in vain.”Diana’s eyes brightened, and she bit her bottom lip as if she had made a very serious decision. Her face turned red as she said, “All right, I’m willing to give you my body!”“Pfft!”Thomas just took a sip of the coffee, and he immediately spat it out.What the heck did she mean by giving him her body?This girl was really too innocent.Thomas wiped his lips while he awkwardly said, “No, I didn’t mean it. I help you not because I want to be with you. I’m really not interested in you, so please don’t misunderstand me.”What did girls hate to hear the most?It was that he did not want your body, but he was not interested in you! That meant you lacked the charm that a woman should have.Diana
“Although you contributed to the company a lot, this is still our system, and nothing will go beyond the rules.“Diana, are you willing to bear the loss?”Diana nodded. “Yes.”Hmm?Everyone was stunned. They initially thought that Diana would cry, make a fuss, and refuse to admit to it, or she would shirk the responsibility to Craig and Arnav. But, who would have known that Diana would admit to it in a straightforward manner?This was really strange.Jed and Craig purposely prepared a lot of excuses to deal with Diana, but they could not use them now.Jed said, “Diana, do you understand it? You need to pay back the $5,000,000 loss to the company! Are you willing to do it?”“Yeah.”Diana put the check on the table without hesitation. “This is the check for $5,000,000. It can be used to pay the loss of the company.”She had the money?Jed picked up the check in disbelief.Not far away, Arnav secretly snickered. Everything was exactly the same as he had expected.He set it up
Jed secretly laughed. It turned out that the so-called God of War was just a person like this.There was no man who did not like women.“I’ll just congratulate you here, Mr. Mayo.” He nodded, and he kept the check away. He said to Diana again, “You’re lucky this time to have Mr. Mayo back you up. You won’t be so lucky next time. You may behave yourself.”After Jed spoke, he left the R&D Department.Since Thomas was willing to take out $5,000,000, there was nothing else to talk about now. When the chairman asked about it later, he could also give an explanation about it.Craig also sighed in relief.With $5,000,000, he was also confident that he would not need to worry about receiving any punishment.It could be said that Thomas’ $5,000,000 did not just save Diana, but also it saved the whole R&D Department. At noon, Thomas went to a restaurant nearby and ordered some food. He ate and drank while thinking about going to Diana’s house at 10.00 pm.At this time, a man came uninv
Thomas said, “I agree with it!”The two of them raised their wine glasses, toasted, and finished drinking. Arnav secretly snickered. When he had a capable helper like Thomas, he would work more conveniently in Sterling Technology.Meanwhile, Thomas secretly felt happy.He did not know that he would have a surprise outcome. He stole the fruit of Pivot Technology, and he also dug out their undercover. This time, it was going to be interesting.This good show was going to be interesting.At the same time, in the chairman’s office in Pivot Technology, Master Centipede was swinging his golf stick while playing indoor golf.The door was opened, and Laura angrily walked inside. She moved her steps hard.Master Centipede cast a glance at Laura. He roughly knew it without needing to ask her.Laura and Weiss looked very alike in some aspects.They were very smart, and smart people could not help but feel arrogant. But, Laura was much calmer, and she normally would not show her emotion
The sky at night was full of stars.A black sedan stopped in front of a house. When the door of the car was opened, a tall figure got out of the car.“Is Diana staying in this place?“It’s quite silent here.”Thomas closed the door of the car before he walked to Diana’s house.Like Thomas requested at the beginning, the door was not shut, and it was just half-closed. As Thomas reached out to push it, it was opened.He walked into the house.The lamp inside the house was off, and only small lamps were on.It looked like the atmosphere was totally different.Thomas cleared his throat, and he asked, “Diana, are you here?”At this time, the door of the house was opened, and a gorgeous figure walked out. It was Diana!Diana at this time was totally a different person whom he saw in the R&D Department during the day.She was now dressed in a sexy pink dress, and it perfectly showed her alluring figure in front of Thomas. She was like a sumptuous dinner that was waiting for Thoma
After a long while of silence, that woman screamed out loud.“Ah! Thief! Here’s a thief!”Diana stood up. “Shut up! Thomas is not a thief. I invited him.”The woman sighed in relief when she saw Diana.She glanced at Diana before she looked at Thomas and seemed to understand something. She grinned as she said, “Hey, when has our righteous Ms.Diana Red also learned to have an affair? You even brought a strange man home. How shameless of you!”“He’s not a strange man!”“So, who is he?”“He… he is my new boyfriend, Thomas!” Diana was also forced to feel worked up. She did not bother anything, and she did not care whether Thomas agreed or not. She just claimed Thomas as her boyfriend.That woman cast a glance at Thomas and scoffed. “Wow, you were scolded by Mom yesterday. She said you’re still not married at this old age, and you brought a boyfriend home today?“Diana, are you really in a rush? Aren’t you too reckless?“Even if you want to find a man, you should also be more se
Thomas sounded as if he did not take Coral’s boyfriend seriously at all. After all, normal people were not worthed him to feel surprised in God of War’s eyes.But, Diana did not think in the same way.In Diana’s opinion, Thomas was a playboy who was not aware of his own ability other than being rich.Thomas would have died of hunger if he did not have a good father.That was Thomas’ image in Diana’s heart.So, Diana did not want to think about anything. She just went forward and grabbed Thomas’ arm. She dragged him while she said, “Stop acting so bossy. Her boyfriend, Archer Stuart is good at fighting, and his profession is that of a boxer. Not only you but many experts were defeated by Archer. Quickly, leave now, or you will suffer a great loss.”During the process where they were involved, some hurried car roaring was heard.What came after that was some hurried footsteps. “Coral, are you okay?”The person who came was Coral’s boyfriend, Archer.Diana covered her face. Oh
It was Thomas.Archer felt a little surprised. The strength of his fist was not low, but Thomas was able to accept it silently. This meant that Thomas’ strength was great.“Wow, you’re quite good.“But, how many punches do you think you can receive from me?”Archer’s punches were swung toward Diana like raindrops. He was so speedy that normal people could not catch up.However, Thomas was faster.Archer’s every punch was stopped by Thomas.Archer even had a hallucination of Thomas’ hand already waiting before he swung his punch out.This also meant that Thomas turned all Archer’s attacks into nothing based on his prediction.“Um…” Archer moved one step backward, and he stared at Thomas in disbelief.This man was too good at fighting, huh?Coral felt worked up. “Darling, what are you doing now? Why don’t you beat them up until they lay down on the floor? Your woman was bullied by them. Why would you still be in the mood to get involved with them?”She interrupted them in t
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
