When the sky just turned bright, a figure that should not have appeared suddenly appeared in front of the office building of Pivot Technology.He wore a coat, a baseball cap, and sunglasses, deliberately hiding his identity.Without any hindrance, he entered the building smoothly and came to the chairman's office.At that moment, Master Centipede was sitting in a chair with his eyes closed and he was resting.After getting Elijah’s project book, his main focus had been on Diana. He could only get three complete project books after subduing Diana.Then only he could deal with Sterling Technology at that time.The question was, how to subdue Diana? Even Laura, who had always been witty, could not solve this problem after some time.Knock. Knock. Knock. Three clear knocks on the door.At this hour, only that man would come.Master Centipede shouted in a hoarse voice, "Come in."The door opened, and the man in the coat walked in. He took off his sunglasses and said with a smile,
Master Centipede was extremely excited. With this last puzzle, he would be able to mount a large-scale assault on Sterling Technology.Victory was just in front of him."Master Centipede, in order to keep my identity safe, I’ll leave first."Arnav turned and left.As he walked, he snickered in his mind. ‘It feels great to earn one hundred million dollars without much effort. Thomas, that’s why you’re a layman. You obviously had the opportunity to hand over this project book for a big benefit, but you didn’t understand it and let me get this opportunity for nothing. Hey, this is the importance of knowledge.’On his way back, Arnav passed by Laura. He looked at Laura with a smirk.Laura frowned slightly as she was extremely disgusted by him.Laura entered the office and closed the door."Godfather, why did Arnav sneak up to the company this early in the morning?"Master Centipede said happily, "I don't know what method Arnav used, but he has gotten the last project book we neede
Craig and Diana were equally surprised.However, Craig was pleasantly surprised. Letting him replace Jed to exercise some of the general manager's powers meant he would be able to show off even more in the future.But Diana was surprised with some horror. At that juncture, it was a bit difficult for her to take the lead.Moreover, she had a bad feeling about this.Jed continued to say, "Of course, someone will pass over the work you guys will take over. I have to take care of the chairman, so I’ll leave first."He turned and left.In the current Sterling Technology, the chairman and general manager were not there, so the most powerful person was…Craig was happy. Although his position was not as high as Thomas’s, he actually possessed more power!It was perfect.Diana sighed as she felt that the burden on her shoulders getting heavier.Right then, an employee hurried in and said to Craig, "Mr. Eastwood, bad news! Pivot Technology has launched a declaration of war against us!"
Unquestionably, Arnav must have submitted it.Arnav’s project book had been forged by Thomas based on Diana’s project book. The product developed using that fake project book was absolutely finished, haha.Therefore, when everyone else was nervous, Thomas appeared extraordinarily calm.Craig who did not know the truth pacing back and forth as he did not know what to do. He had just become the temporary general manager, but he had already run into such troublesome things.If it was not handled properly, Pivot Technology was very likely to take this opportunity to turn things around and completely climb to the head of Sterling Technology.The responsibilities that Craig needed to bear in the future were heavy.What should he do?Suddenly, Craig fixed his gaze on Thomas.At this time, shifting the blame would definitely be the first choice.He smiled and walked to Thomas and said, "Mr. Mayo, I would like to ask you for a favor."Thomas did not even look at him and said casually,
In the face of Pivot Technology’s provocation, Thomas acted as if nothing happened. He was still playing with mobile phones during work hours as usual.Seeing Thomas behaving like this, his colleagues were extremely disappointed.It seemed that the position of the leader of Sterling Technology was finished.Right then, a series of rapid phone calls rang."Mr. Mayo, it’s a call from the Gomez family."The Gomez family?Thomas was stunned.The Gomez Family was one of the three major families in Central City. It was also the actual controller behind Sterling Technology.Thomas put down his cell phone and went to answer the call.A slightly hoarse old man's voice came from the other end of the phone. It was Nicholas Gomez, the current head of the Gomez family."Is this Jed?""No, I’m Thomas.""Thomas?""Yes, I'm the son of Nelson and the vice-chairman of Sterling Technology. Now, the entire Sterling Technology is under my control. You can just tell me if you have any business.
Thomas instantly hung up after saying that, showing no respect for Nicholas.It had to be said, no one else in the room could match this display of courage and fearlessness.Thomas, on the other hand, settled back in his seat and continued to play with his phone as if nothing had happened.Craig smiled coldly inside. ‘You still don’t know you’re facing death. Wait till Pivot Technology launches their newest product, then Sterling Technology is screwed. If that happens, not only would Nelson and Jed punish you, even Nicholas will never let you off the hook. Thomas, you’re bound to fail!’At that same moment, Nelson was sitting on the couch drinking tea in his mansion, and Jed was sitting beside him. After getting the latest reports on the company, Nelson was not sure whether to laugh or cry.“I wanted you to put Craig in charge of this because I was hoping to use him to push Thomas to leave. After all, we’ve finished using Thomas, and he is no longer useful to us, but who knew Ma
That day, the exhibition was packed with visitors who were eagerly awaiting the release of Pivot Technology's newest product.Thomas had brought along Sterling Technology’s R&D Department to the event as they wanted to have a look at what Pivot Technology was capable of. In the midst of the crowd, Arnav whispered to Thomas, “You really are something, Mr. Mayo. You haven’t done anything since you were assigned this project on the spur of the moment, but you just caused Sterling technology to completely lose against Pivot Technology.”“We lost not just in terms of ability, but also in terms of character and reputation. It made Sterling Technology look like an incompetent and useless company.“And you didn’t do anything about it! It was a really good move!”Thomas scoffed inwardly. ‘Arnav has a knack for being delusional. But I would leave him alone since he would understand what “good lenses, bad frames” mean once the truth is revealed.’Finally, everyone was present. Thomas
There was nothing more to say.Needless to say, Thomas now fully comprehended why Master Centipede was so hostile toward him.Weiss was Master Centipede’s foster son, and Thomas had hounded Weiss to death back then. Weiss appeared to be the most precious to him, so how could he stop until he took it all out on Thomas?He felt resigned. This would be a tough case for him to solve. Master Centipede turned around and walked over to the exhibit. He waved to catch the crowd’s attention, then announced Pivot Technology’s future plans and introduced the newest product in detail too. The crowd grew very excited after hearing his words. If everything went according to Master Centipede’s plans, then Central City’s technology would flourish in the near future. Sterling Technology would become outdated, and Pivot Technology would become the future leaders!“Without further ado, allow me to introduce you to the newly invented Pivot Technology product—the Model XV3!”After saying that
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
