“Bastard! That stupid bastard!” Nelson roared, “What sort of idiotic fool is he?!“Is Pivot Technology full of crap?! Is Master Centipede a retard?! How could they be toyed around by Thomas like idiots?!”Jed sighed by the side and said with a sad expression, “We originally wanted to ostracize and get rid of Thomas through Master Centipede, but that didn’t work. Thomas didn’t fall, and Master Centipede ended up losing.”“That’s not all!” Nelson said, “I just received information that Thomas has received that bastard, Nicholas’s, approval. Right now, Thomas has secured his position, and it’ll be harder than trying to fly if we want to attack him now!”Jed’s expression turned even darker. When Thomas was the successor in the past, Jed knew very clearly that it was just him receiving that seemingly nice-looking title to drag him down. He did it to confuse Thomas, and the real successor was still Jed. Hence, Jed was never displeased, and he was also polite to Thomas. But things w
In the VIP ward of Central City General Hospital was Master Centipede. He lay in bed while he stared at the chandelier on the ceiling. His eyes were filled with grief and hate, and his fists were clenched tight. He could not accept his defeat. Laura pushed the door open and walked in with the medical records. “The doctor said you suffered through temporary shock because you were too angry. You’ll be fine once you rest for a while.”Laura sat down, peeled a banana, and handed it to him. “Don’t be so angry, Godfather. You’re really the same as Weiss. “Weiss was destroyed by Thomas with this method. Now, he wants to use the same method, so you must be careful.”Master Centipede took the banana and bit into it. “Yes, I have to be careful. “I originally thought that I had victory in my hands and could stomp Sterling Technology under my feet. Then, I could also thoroughly humiliate Thomas.“Heh. Who would have thought that this would happen?”He turned toward Laura. “Where is A
Arnav explained, “I never told you how I got the proposal. Honestly, I didn’t get it from Daina, but from Thomas.”“Huh?” Laura yelled at him, “Thomas couldn’t have possibly handed you the proposal himself! Are you an idiot?!”“That’s not what I meant!” Arnav said in an aggrieved fashion, “I thought Thomas was on my side and was a spy that you sent. That’s why I chose to trust him.”‘Seriously?’Laura nearly fainted due to anger. How could Thomas possibly be a spy? Was Arnav’s brain empty?“Are you an idiot? What made you think that Thomas was on your side?”Arnav said, “When Diana was punished, Thomas paid five million dollars for her, and I thought you were the one who had made those arrangements! Also, Thomas managed to get Dream Network’s foreman to sign a contract with him. If he wasn’t a spy, how could he possibly make a company receiving investments from the Martin family agree to sign a contract with him?”‘What…?’Laura put her hand against her forehead, and she was
When morning arrived, Thomas reached the company while surrounded by people who now idolized him. Since Craig became Thomas’s number one lackey from his original position as his enemy, when he saw Thoams, he immediately praised him. All of Sterling Technology was under Thomas’s control. If this continued, Sterling Technology might really have a change of owners. Thomas returned to the R&D department. Before he could even sit down, he received shocking news: yesterday, a fisherman who went out fishing found a corpse gnawed by sharks. The police had already identified him as Sterling Technology’s researcher, Arnav Forest. In the end, Arnav died. But that was not at all surprising. Craig said in disbelief, “I was wondering why Arnav disappeared over the past few days, so he was killed by sharks? No, wait. Why did he suddenly go to the ocean? Was he bored?”Thomas smiled but said nothing. There was no need to guess who the perpetrator was. It could only be Pivot Technology
Thomas looked at the box with a poker face on as he sneered deep inside.If there really was such a treasure, why would he be willing to part with it?Something was definitely wrong here.Thomas extended his hand to Nelson, as if he was making an offering, and said, “Compared to me, I think you need this pill more than I do. I am still young and strong, it basically makes no difference whether I consume this or not. But on the contrary, you have been plagued by a long-running disease for many years now. Won’t consuming this pill assist you in getting rid of the sickness and regaining some of your health?”Nelson Mayo’s expression changed.That seemed to be the case.Nelson was indeed plagued by a long-running disease for many years now. Why did he not consume this pill if this pill was as good as he said it to be? There must be something wrong here!Nelson was stunned and was unable to answer.Jed, who was watching from the sidelines, interrupted and said, “Mr. Thomas, there is
Amidst the cheers and applause from the crowd, Jed Motley brought Thomas Mayo to his new office.He pushed the door open.“Mr. Thomas, this will be your office from today onwards.”“No one will disturb you anymore in this separate office.”Thomas went in and took a look.The office was clean and tidy. It was indeed not bad. But the only caveat was it being a little empty and not welcoming enough.Jed closed the door behind him.“ Mr. Thomas, are you... okay?” Jed’s tone was different as he spoke, it was like he was the devil in the horror film as he sounded enigmatic.Thomas looked to the side as he said, “Yeah I am fine, why would I be not?”Jed asked, “Are you thirsty?”“Come to think of it, I think I am a little thirsty.”“Do you not feel your head getting heavier?”Thomas shivered, supported his hand on his forehead, and gasped for air as he said, “You are right, my head is getting heavier. It is very uncomfortable.”Jed rejoiced.He took out a sound modification devi
“But you obviously...”“I obviously ate the pill in front of you guys?”Thomas laughed and took a piece of chewing gum from one of his pockets. He then tilted his head backward and placed it in his mouth and chewed.“I ate it right?” as he was still talking, Thomas raised his hand and revealed an intact chewing gum in his hands. He actually did not eat it!In other words, Thomas had deceived them with his sleight-of-hand. They had thought that he ate the pill, but in fact, he did not eat it but kept it in his hand all along.While Jed was distracted, he shoved the pill in his mouth and forced him to swallow it.Jed went pale.He pointed at Thomas and said, “So your actions just now were merely an act?”“Not totally.” Thomas extended his hand and grabbed the sound modification device from Jed. “I am curious to know as to what extent the pill works as well as how are you controlling others using it.“The performance just now allowed me to understand how you guys control people u
Sterling Technology, ground floor lobby.Employees were hustling in and out. Everyone was anxious, wanting to finish their tasks on hand.Beep, the elevator stopped on the ground floor.The door opened and Jed Motley came out. He had this empty look on his face.“Good day Mr. Motley.”Everyone who saw Jed greeted him respectfully.Jed replied to every single greeting in the past, albeit it being a curt, brief response. But today there was something different about him.Jed was like a zombie. He leaned his body forward and he limped as he walked.Everyone’s attention was focused on him.“What is wrong with Mr. Motley?”“I do not know, but he is a little weird.”“Are you alright, Mr. Motley?”Everyone was discussing the current situation. Some even shouted at Jed, but he did not respond at all.He slowly walked and reached the center of the lobby.Jed stopped and it was as if he was transformed into another person. He started grooving in front of others and bopped energetic
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
