Chapter 1271

Author: Word Breaking Venice
That was what happened to the Science and Technology Alliance recently.

To sum it all up, the authorities no longer wanted to be in charge of the alliance, so they planned to elect a leader to manage it.

They had stumbled upon the Scepter of Athena project by chance.

As a result, they came up with the idea that whichever company completed the research, their chairman would become the alliance's leader.

Naturally.

It sounded like it was a good deal, but it was actually a big hoax.

“First, you have to finish the project research, which could cost up to a hundred million dollars,” Diana stated dryly. “Not all companies could fund such a high-priced project.

“Now, what do you get in exchange for a hundred million dollars? Only a five-million-dollar prize and the position of alliance leader.

“Five million dollars is nothing compared to the cost of research. No one would be that stupid and complete the project for the reward. Would anyone even want to be the alliance’s leader then

    At Central City’s South City Airport. Outside the airport, a dark blue Lamborghini was parked. Laura, a woman with a wonderful figure and a stunning face, was standing by the car like a supermodel, patiently waiting.Strange looks were cast her way by people passing.Many men even brought out their phones to take pictures in secret. They did not know when they would get another chance to experience this spectacle of beauty and a luxurious car.After a while, a tall man approached her while dragging his luggage. He was coughing a lot and walking with a handkerchief over his mouth, and his face was as pale as paper, indicating that he was really sick.Laura greeted the man with a smile on her face as soon as he walked out.There were not many people in the world who could make Laura laugh, let alone men. “It’s been a long time, Kerry.” Although it was a simple greeting, Laura said it with a happy tone. They had been separated for almost a year and had finally reunited. The s

    In the end, Laura decided to confess. She told Kerry all that had happened during this period.Kerry remained silent for a while after listening to everything.He leaned against the car seat and looked out the window. No one knew what he was thinking about.Much later, Laura could not help and said, “I told you I could not tell you about all of this, but you insisted on me saying it. This—"“Laura. ”“Yes? ”"Weiss’s death, Godfather’s illness, and your sadness, I’ll remember them. " Kerry looked out the window and said, "Thomas, right? Even if he is immortal, I want him to die without a grave!"Laura was shocked and said, “Kerry, don’t you mess around. I didn’t tell you this so that you can fight ‘against’ Thomas. He is very powerful, and you’re a seriously ill man.”Laura was really panicking.She would not have said those things if she had known.However, Kerry calmly continued, “Don’t worry, I’m not the kind of person who doesn’t have a brain. Weiss’s defeat might have be

    In the blink of an eye, time passed.The ‘Scepter of Athena’ project conference led by the Science and Technology Alliance was held the next afternoon.All of the executives from major corporations who had a certain standing in Central City had arrived.Despite the fact that not everyone was interested in that project, they attended the conference to show respect to the Science and Technology Alliance because of their official standing.People began arriving one after the other.There were rows upon rows of seats. The huge arena was fully crowded.Many business directors took advantage of the opportunity to exchange business cards and become familiarised with other directors.Sterling Technology and Pivot Technology were the only two companies that stand out among so many others.Both of these companies were extremely powerful at the time, and they served as the "face" of Central City. Even though Pivot Technology’s stock had fallen off sharply earlier due to some negative news

    In his heart, any company that was willing to stand out was good enough.Happiness had blindsided him out of a sudden.For a moment, Dunstan did not know how to cope with the current situation. Meanwhile, below the stage...Master Centipede turned his head slightly and looked at Thomas. He smiled and said, “Mr. Mayo, Sterling Technology already has a backlog of projects that are past their deadlines. In my opinion, you should stay out of this project and let Pivot Technology handle it. Don’t you think that’s for the best?” Thomas smiled faintly and said, “Master Centipede, you must be joking. Sterling Technology is always thinking about the home country and the world. How can we hold back from such an opportunity to contribute to the country and its people? Master Centipede, please don’t deny us this wish. “The two chairmen went toe to toe, not taking a step back.It was Dunstan's turn to be troubled this time.He originally thought that if any company would take over the pr

    In the hotel late at night.A man and a woman hugged each other as they entered the room and closed the door behind them."Babe, you made me miss you so much!"The man approached the woman and attempted to make a move on her, but she dodged it with a jolt."No way, you stink. Take a shower first."“Eh, yes, yes, shower first, shower first.“ The man hastily stripped off his clothing and dashed inside to take a shower.The woman silently opened the door.The man finished his shower and walked out after a short time."Would you like to shower as well, babe?"The woman smiled and said, "Are you sure? I'm covered in aromatic sweat right now."The man gulped down a mouthful of saliva and said, "Then don't shower. There's no need. Come on, let's get started. I can't take it any longer.““Uh-huh.”Just as the man was about to leap upon the woman on the bed, there was a loud 'bang,' and the room door slammed heavily into the wall.Several huge guys broke in.The man in the lead ha

    After Dunstan McLaren left, Crewcut said to the woman on the bed, “You sure are capable, Jenny. I noticed that no man can ever resist you!”Jenny smoothed out her clothes and said disdainfully, “Duh? Is there a man who is not lusty? Oh yeah, Hound. Laura promised me my freedom after we are done with this business transaction."Hound Tres laughed. “Of course. But you cannot stay in Central City anymore. I bought a flight ticket for you to go abroad.”“You are asking me, a girl, to go abroad alone?”“What else did you expect?”Jenny gritted her teeth. As she had no leverage to challenge Laura, she had no choice but to go aboard.Jenny got up and left in anger.Hound Tres sat on the bed and spat. “This chick is really seductive, I almost lost my composure just now. What a vixen.”He called Laura while he was still talking to himself.The call went through very quickly.“Hello, Ms. Laura. The matter has been dealt with according to your wishes. Jenny is really capable. She had Du

    Jenny Cruz’s heartbeat increased. What she feared most now was Jacob Nolan. Previously, she had scammed Jacob and caused an uproar and that, in turn, caused her reputation to plummet.If Jacob exposed her whereabouts and she was handed over to the police, she had been expected to serve several years in jail.She forced a smile and said awkwardly, “Actually, Jacob, our relationship was just a misunderstanding. Do not...”Jacob raised his hand. “You do not need to explain it. I am very clear about what happened. The purpose of being in a relationship with me is to bring down the Nolan Family.”Jenny’s expression turned dark. Things may go ugly, judging from his tone alone.She quietly grabbed a black pen that was on the table. If Jacob wanted to harm her, she would fight back immediately.Jacob continued, “You and I should not have been in a relationship from the start. But since I saw you again today, the memories of us came back to me. Even if I wanted to forget you, I could not.

    Perhaps unbeknownst to herself, she had met the only man who ever loved her to this extent in her life.However, she did not know how to cherish what she had and did not hold on to this relationship at all.She did not appreciate it when she had it, only to regret it after she lost it.Jenny cried.Jacob scratched his head in embarrassment, “Did I say too much? Please do not cry. Although we are enemies, I do not want to see you in this state.”“Stupid.” Jenny wiped her tears, took the necklace, and wore it.The crystal necklace glimmered under the light, which further enhanced how beautiful Jenny was.“Is it pretty?” Jenny asked.“It is pretty.”“Am I pretty? Or is the necklace pretty?”Jacob swallowed his saliva. “The necklace is pretty. You, are prettier.”Their eyes met.Both of their hearts burned with flames of affection for each other. But it was not enough to melt the harsh cold truth reality gave.Jacob sighed and said slowly, “I have said what I want to say. I wil

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
