He said to the manager of Glory Technology, “It’s just as you’ve seen. Sterling Technology was not aware of anything about this matter. Elijah Clinton stole the skills of your company regardless of the law and regulations for his own reputation. I express my regret with regard to this.“But, please rest assured. We’ll immediately take Elijah’s work off the shelf, and we’ll cooperate with your company to sue Elijah.”Jed ordered Craig, “Call the police now to arrest Elijah.”“Yes!”Craig called the police without hesitation, and he shirked all the responsibilities to Elijah.Although everyone felt that Elijah was just the scapegoat, and the real culprit was someone else, at least Elijah was the only culprit at the moment on the surface.Soon, the police force came to the center and arrested Elijah.While Elijah was brought away, he screamed and yelled hysterically. He was still so imposing just now. How could he have expected this now?He kept cursing.He also regretted it.Lo
In a small dark room in the police station, Elijah had just been arrested, and someone had already come to visit him. The most important thing was that this person was not someone from Sterling Technology, but someone from the rival company, Pivot Technology. Looking at the strange woman in front of him, Elijah asked vigilantly, "Who are you?" "I’m Wendy Molter, the chief of Pivot Technology’s human resource department." "Pivot Technology? Why are you here? Are you here to laugh at me?" Wendy sneered and said, "Do you think I will come here for something so boring? I’m here today because I want to cooperate with you." Elijah snorted coldly. "We are rivals, so why should we cooperate? Go away." Wendy was a little displeased, but she suppressed her anger and continued to speak. "Now you are being charged for commercial and technical theft. The evidence is solid. If convicted, you’ll spend at least seven years in prison."Elijah, do you want to spend seven years in prison?"
"Oh?" Nelson asked, "Who?""Arnav." Jed speculated and said, "According to Elijah’s remarks before he was arrested, he had been tricked by Arnav. Although there is no evidence, his expression of being tricked couldn’t be faked. There is also the last incident of Diana. According to Diana, the main responsibility actually lies with Arnav."Nelson said, "In other words, Arnav deliberately divides our company?"Jed nodded. "Not only that, according to the report by the informer, Arnav has joined Pivot Technology. In other words, Arnav forced out the core technical personnel of our company and let Pivot Technology hire him."This was bad.Nelson narrowed his eyes, "What a vicious strategy. That cunning person, Master Centipede, is attacking me from all directions, and all he uses is some evil methods!"Jed reminded, "Furthermore, their targets are Elijah, Diana, and Arnav who have been particularly active for a long time, Mr. Mayo. Don't you think it's too coincidental?"Nelson sudd
The next day, Sterling Technology’s R&D Department was in a very tense and serious atmosphere. Because of Elijah’s mistake, the whole department had been affected.The chairman had issued an order. Those who performed poorly during this period of time would be fired.In addition, they had formulated quite the strict KPI, and they would be fired as well if they could not complete it.There was only one exception, which was Thomas.Craig still followed Jed’s instructions and did not give Thomas any work. They isolated him and did not give him any power, making him a nominal vice chairman.Thomas was also happy. It seemed that he did not care about it. He did not seem to care about anything.When everyone's work was in full swing, Craig walked to Diana’s side and said a few words to her. Then, Diana hurriedly left.Other people did not know, but Thomas knew that the new mission of the Underground City had arrived.Although Thomas was calm on the surface, he was actually very nervo
Nelson could not keep calm at all.He asked in confusion, "Wasn’t that person well the other day? Why did he suddenly get worse? Didn't I ask you to control the dose?"Jed looked innocent and said, "I already am. But Mr. Mayo, you also know that his body couldn't continue taking the medicine, and he could die at any time. This was very sudden, but also inevitable."Nelson gritted his teeth.What to do now?The man in the Underground City was very important to him. Without him, it was like a car losing its engine. Sterling Technology would definitely falter.Sterling Technology's reputation had already suffered because of the exhibition.If their "engine" was lost, how could Sterling Technology compete with Pivot Technology?"No, you must not let him die."Jed said, "But we can’t help it. The doctors we have there are all helpless. What should we do?"Nelson raised his head slightly. "No, there is another doctor, and his ability can save that person."Of course, Jed knew who
Jed personally drove to the villa where Thomas lived and took him to the place where Nelson lived.Along the way, Jed was silent.The seriousness of this incident could be seen from his nervous look.The car stopped in about twenty minutes."Mr. Mayo, the chairman lives here. Let's go in.""Okay."Jed led Thomas to the direction of the villa. Before reaching the door, he saw the butler, Charlie, pacing back and forth, looking nervous."Oh, Mr. Motley, you’re back. Did you bring him?" the butler asked."I brought him with me. This is Thomas, who has superb medical skills. He is also the eldest son of the chairman," Jed said.Charlie was very excited. He went up and held Thomas’s hand. "Young master, I didn't expect to meet you in such a situation. I have been following the master for almost ten years. I really can't bear to see the master like this. Quickly save him!"Thomas replied affirmatively, "Don't worry, he is my father. I’ll definitely do my best to treat him."Withou
Thomas was thinking. It was highly probable that the counterfeit wanted him to treat the real Nelson, so they had swapped positions.He “released” the real Nelson and hid himself.In this way, there was still only one Nelson in public, and no one could see through his plan.After Thomas saved the real Nelson, then the counterfeit would come out to replace him again. At that time, Thomas would not be able to see his father again.What was his best option?Should he bring his father out now?No.At that moment, his father's life was in danger. The first thing Thomas needed to do was to save his father, not rush out with his father.He could withstand the trouble, but his father could not.A slight bump might cause a major problem, and it might kill his father. Besides, this was the Central City, and the network of the counterfeit was huge. He also had the support of the Gomes family, one of the three major families.Even if he escaped with his father and wanted to leave safely,
Faced with their questioning, Thomas remained silent for a long time.Finally, Thomas said, "Don't rush to save him first. Let’s wait for a while.""Why?" Iris did not understand."My father is very ill and needs recuperation," Thomas explained, "If we save him in a hurry now, we won't have the time and energy to take good care of him. Secondly, we’ll have to face the difficulties created by the counterfeit. It’s not good for my father’s recovery."So, it would be better to let the counterfeit take care of my father for us for a period of time. We’ll take the opportunity to come up with a complete rescue plan during this period of time."Iris asked, "Will the counterfeit harm Nelson?""No," Thomas said, "My father’s R&D capabilities are the core power of Sterling Technology. The counterfeit would never allow any harm to come to my father. So, during this period, he will definitely try his best to take care of my father. Besides, I’ve given them a prescription and a recipe. I beli
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
