“What a jerk,” Susan cursed him.Sick Tiger smiled. “Erm, Boss Tom, we really didn’t know that the person Felix wanted to beat would be you, let alone wanting to make a move on your woman. If we knew, we wouldn’t had have the courage to do it.”He thought of Susan as Thomas’s woman.Thomas coughed awkwardly. “Uh, you misunderstood. She is not my…”Sick Tiger quickly nodded. “I understand. I understand. Boss, we didn’t see anything. We’ll never reveal it to your wife.”The more he explained, the more confusing it was. He thought that Thomas did not dare to admit it because he was afraid of being caught cheating on his wife.Thomas scolded in his mind, ‘What do you understand?’On the contrary, Susan was happy. She really liked the feeling of being misunderstood as Thomas’s woman. Even if it was for a short while, it was a kind of reward from heaven for her.Sick Tiger bowed. “Well, since the misunderstanding has been cleared, we’ll take our leave first. Boss, I wish you a wonder
Felix struggled and tried to get up, but another gangster kicked his stomach.He clutched his stomach and coughed dryly at the roadside.Other gangsters rushed over. Felix quickly waved his hand. “Stop. Stop for a while.”He lowered his voice and said, “You just have to act like you’re hitting me. You don’t have to hit me for real.”As soon as he finished speaking, a gangster raised a stick and struck his leg. It almost broke his bone, and Felix lay on the ground and yelled in pain.“Darn it, didn’t you hear what I said?”Those gangsters did not care what he said. They just rushed over and hit him. Felix was struck until his face was swollen, and blood was all over his body.He was barely conscious as the severe pain assaulted him.‘What went wrong?‘Why did this become a real fight?’After a while, everyone stopped and stepped back. Thomas walked over and coughed softly. “Hi, great showman Felix. Didn’t you want to fight with ten people by yourself to protect Susan? Why are
“You……”Susan covered her mouth and giggled, “Remember to wash your face before going home, otherwise, you will suffer when Emma finds those lipstick marks.”Thomas’s heart trembled. As a man, he certainly knew what such behavior meant.However, he had already fallen for a woman in his heart.It was impossible for him to accommodate a second woman.Moreover, Susan was Emma’s cousin, and this kind of relationship was impossible for Thomas to accept.“Thomas, don’t get too excited, I’m not interested in you.” Susan stuck out her tongue and went into the small residential area.‘Did she really mean it or is she just holding back?’Thomas shook his head and let go of all the different thoughts in his mind. Then he took a deep breath, stepped on the accelerator, and drove away.……Over the next few days, Thomas placed his attention on Shalom Technology. He could not forget how his brother Scott had died!‘Paying off the debts and taking back the ownership of the company is the fi
At noon, Thomas was waiting patiently at the B2 International Exit of South City Airport. He paid attention to every woman who was walking out with suitcases. He also had to compare each of them with the photo on his handphone, fearing that he might miss Anna. At the same time, he also held a small signboard with Anna’s name written on it.Finally, after waiting patiently for about half an hour, a mature woman who was wearing white trousers, sunglasses, and a sun hat walked out from the exit.Thomas quickly recognized her at a glance.She was tall. She had to be 174 centimeters height. She had fair skin, a freckled face, and red lips that matched the photo.He walked over and said with a smile, “Hello Ms. Caspian, your grandpa has asked me to pick you up.”Anna did not even look at him and handed over her package to him in a skilled manner, “Take this.”Thomas grabbed hold of her suitcase.Anna immediately walked past Thomas. She was putting her hands in her pockets with an un
Anna was profoundly outstanding. As a woman, she had a cold and arrogant demeanor, extraordinary ability, and beauty that met international standards.Everything went smoothly in her career.She had lost count of the men she had defeated.All the men around her either coveted her beauty or flattered her in an attempt to obtain benefits from her, or they were otherwise inferior to her in all aspects.Over time, she developed a very bad impression of men.Over the years, although Anna had been quite successful in her career and had made a lot of money, she never found a match in terms of love and relationship.‘Just because she was too arrogant and too contemptuous of men, perhaps no man in this world would ever satisfy her.’The food was served.Anna picked up the cutlery and said, “Can you leave now? I can’t eat in your presence.”Thomas helplessly shook his head, turned, and left.He stood at the door, leaning on the door frame casually, and smiled bitterly in his heart. Thi
Anna was so scared that her face turned pale. ‘I have never seen such an unhinged person?!’The gangster pressed the dagger against her neck as if he was preparing to end her.The police were also frightened, and all of them pointed their guns at the gangster, “Calm down, calm down, finding a compatible wife takes time and dedication.”The gangster yelled, “I have been taking it slowly for forty years, and you still want me to take it slowly? I don’t care, I’d rather be a dead pair with this woman today. If I can’t find a wife alive, dying with an outstanding woman will be worth my while!”Seeing that the sharp dagger was about to pierce Anna’s heart and take her life, a chopstick swished through the air and flew towards the gangster.With a puff, the chopsticks pierced the back of the gangster’s hand abruptly, piercing his hand.“Clink,” The dagger fell to the ground from the hand of the gangster.The police rushed forward and forced the gangster to the ground.“Don’t move!”
‘On the other hand, Anna still looks as beautiful as ever and even has a successful career, but she is undeniably still single. I am afraid that she would not be able to marry for the rest of her life.’In this way, Fleta felt that she had a slight advantage over Anna.They were once old classmates who had not seen each other for many years. They had not expected to meet again in such a place.Although this should be a joyful occasion, there was no smile on Anna’s face. She had abhorred Fleta for being a girl who despised the poor and curried favor with the rich.Fleta walked over and gazed at Anna. Then she looked at Thomas behind Anna and broke into a snigger.“Oh, Anna, I heard from an old classmate that you were still single. It seems to be fake news. Are you bringing your boyfriend out for shopping today?”Anna and Thomas were stunned at the same time.‘This is a big misunderstanding.’Before she could open her mouth and explain, Fleta said again, “But Anna, it’s not that
Whenever women competed with each other, it would be a terrifying sight. Do not be deceived by Anna's aloof demeanor, for she was still a woman at heart. As a woman, she was no exception to having feminine characteristics. The two women, Anna and Fleta, kept picking outfits out non-stop. Whenever one picked out a piece, the other would choose another one which was even more expensive.As they competed over the prices for a few clothes among themselves, the outfits in their hands had reached over a hundred thousand dollars a piece. Those clothes were even more expensive than diamonds.Even though Anna was rather wealthy, she should not be this reckless either.However, her haughty personality would never allow her to lose face in this situation. She stood her ground and was determined to buy the pile of clothes in her hands. Fleta refused to admit defeat either, as she grabbed an armful of clothing. Each of them was a few hundred thousand dollars apiece, the cheapest being two
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
