Regardless of the medical industry, the news reporters, or the staff of Pivot Technology, none of them expected Thomas to mention Socrates, the name that sounded so irrelevant.Laura, especially. In her opinion, other than clarifying and catching the culprit, Thomas did not have other solutions.Who would have known that Thomas would not do those two things? He directly got another option to shirk the responsibility to Socrates.How could it be?Laura looked at a reporter whom she arranged, and the reporter immediately understood it. He got up and said loudly, “Mr. Mayo, you said Socrates spread rumors to defame you. It is possible that you’re just trying not to be suspicious. It’s very hard for us to believe you.”Thomas smiled faintly.He said, “Okay, let me show some evidence. First, all of us know that not long ago, I brought my student, Jacob, to help the medical industry in Summer Land, and we got back the plaque of the Nolan family. The opponent whom we defeated is this So
The doctors initially hated the Nolan family as they thought the Nolan family lied to them.But it was different now.The truth had “come out.” It turned out that the Nolan family was really innocent. Everything was set up because Socrates wanted to destroy the medical industry of Summer Land.At this time, all the doctors changed their opinions.Firstly, they hated Socrates very much; secondly, they felt guilty toward the Nolan family. They thought that they were really too dumb as they were blinded after being instigated. Actually, when they thought about it, the reputation and name of the Nolan family were extremely good. How could they do such an immoral thing?The doctors’ hearts were filled with hatred and guilt.The combination of two complicated emotions made these doctors change their attitude greatly.With the video provided by the police, the list provided by the Nolan family, and Thomas’ explanation, everything was evident, reasonable, and trustable. They totally bel
After everyone heard Aries’ explanation, they only had one question. What the heck?Was this a joke? How could a woman have so many ex-boyfriends? She did not just have a lot of ex-boyfriends, but also the kinds of men were so much different.What did this woman want? Did she want to try to be with all kinds of men?The reporters raised their cameras and kept taking photos.This was another sensational news!Thomas said, “We initially did not want to expose the truth to protect privacy. But we can only make these brothers suffer to prove the Nolan family’s innocence.”One of the men could not help but say, “I spent nearly $500,000 on Jenny. I wanted to use that money to buy a house. It’s gone now. I’ve lost everything!”Another man said, “Jenny Cruz said I was mature and charming, so she came to me every day. She stole all my savings, then she made me divorce my wife. Then, she left. She is a w*nch.”“Exactly! I thought she was an innocent young girl. But, she was with me becau
Laura was so angry that she gritted her teeth. Her body trembled, and she clenched her fists. She thought about many situations that could possibly happen, and she also thought of the solution if she were Thomas.She could not come up with any solutions, and Master Centipede also could not think of any.However, Thomas was Thomas. The God of War’s abilities could not be compared with ordinary people like them.Thomas did not clarify it directly, and he also did not find out the real culprit. He chose the method that Laura and Master Centipede could not think of, which was to find a scapegoat.Besides, this scapegoat was Thomas’ rival who had a conflict with him.Even if Laura showed up and asked everyone not to believe Thomas, and she said everything was fake and Socrates must have cooperated with Thomas, nobody would believe her.How could people believe that Socrates cooperated with Thomas? Everyone knew how serious their conflicts were.Besides, if she said Socrates was not t
The hall became silent.The people were still so aggravated that they wanted to kill Socrates just now. But before they departed, they saw an open provocation like this. Most importantly, it seemed that they really could not do anything to Socrates.This was really annoying!The annoyance even could not be vented!This anger would injure their internal body!Aries cast a glance at Thomas before he looked at the people under the stage. He smiled bitterly as he shook his head.Socrates’ runaway was arranged by Thomas as compensation for him. Thomas wanted to thank him for taking all the heat for the Nolan family.However, those people below the stage were pitiful as they had no target to release their anger, especially Laura.She even said she wanted to kill Socrates, but what now? He was overseas now, and she could not catch him. When Socrates went back to his family, that meant he went back to his territory. She could not do anything to him. She looked at Thomas, and she was
As soon as the press conference ended, the doctors from the medical industry in Summer Land rushed to the place where the Nolan family stayed. They presented pennants, fresh flowers, and fruit baskets to apologize for what they had done, especially to Jacob.This man had knelt at the door for fourteen hours. He knelt from morning till night. He did not drink or eat at all, and he knelt under the sun.He initially looked like a gentleman, but he now looked very horrible.“Oh my, Jacob, please get up.”Everyone rushed forward to help Jacob to stand up. They immediately gave him the relevant treatment. Since the doctors there were famous and top, Jacob recovered very quickly.“You’re willing to kneel down here and beg for mercy. The men from the Nolan family are really incredible.”“To show our apology, we’re willing to take out more money to support the reconstruction of the Nolan family.”“The Nolan family is the role model for the medical industry in Central City. You can’t fall
“I don’t know. I asked him, but he didn’t want to tell me. He just said you’d know who he is when you meet him. I nearly wanted to call the police. This man is really strange.”“Okay. Where is he now?”“In the reception room.”“Okay.”Thomas directly walked to the reception room. He reached out to open the door only after he stopped at the door for two seconds.As soon as he opened the door, he saw a man whose figure was tall, big, and muscular. He was sitting upright in a chair in the reception room, and the cups in front of him were arranged neatly.When Thomas saw this, he knew that it was a soldier who had been properly trained for many years.“Tigris?”“Commander!”The man was a member of Power of Almighty. He had followed Thomas and fought in different wars for many years. Plus, he had a lot of achievements.In every war, he must lead and rush at the first. He did not care about the danger. His biggest wish was to die in the war. He was a real man.Tigris immediately g
Thomas’ expression changed slightly. He could not simply talk about this.“Tigris, be careful of what you say.”Tigris immediately explained, “Commander, don’t worry. I’m not asking you to commit any crime. There’s really a precious opportunity in front of you now.”“What opportunity?”“A qualification trial!”It was the first time that Thomas heard about this term. He felt puzzled, and he asked, “What’s that?”Tigris explained, “Commander, since you gave up the position, it has been vacant. The superiors were in a hurry, so they wanted to choose an outstanding successor. The problem is, all powers are aiming for this position. Choosing someone from any side would offend the other sides. So, the superiors decided to use a competition to decide the successor, which is the so-called qualification trial.“Shawn is the candidate appointed by Mr. Clark, and he is also a candidate who is expected to be the successor.“Do you know why Shawn is desperate to defeat you and prove he is b
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
