At midnight, the bright moonlight shone on the cold road.After Cancer finished his work for the day, he left the office building.He did not rush back home. He smoked while walking under the moonlight. He liked this kind of feeling. This made him feel very relaxed, and he could focus on thinking about how to continue his research.While he walked on the road, some car roaring sounds were heard, and a black sedan stopped beside him.The car door was opened, and a man in a Hawaiian shirt said to Cancer, “Are you Cancer, the director of the R&D Department in Sterling Technology? Our leader wants to meet you. Please come with us.”Cancer breathed out some smoke. “I’m not interested.”When he wanted to walk away, the man in the Hawaiian shirt took out a gun and pointed it at Cancer. “It’s just a meal. You don’t have to turn us down, right?”When Cancer saw the cold gun, he did not look frightened. Instead, it made him feel curious.“Okay, I’ll go with you.”Cancer threw the cigare
At this time, the best thing he could do was to add fuel to Cancer’s fire.Kerry continued saying, “Besides, I’ll also let you be in charge of the research of Cloudy Stone.”“What?”It made Cancer really unable to sit still, and he instantly got up.Cloudy Stone was actually a meteorite that fell on the Earth many years ago. At that time, it was controlled by a foreign power.Countless scientists wanted to study the stone, but they could not fulfill their wish.Being able to study this stone was absolutely a temptation for Cancer.Kerry said, “A good sword should be given to a hero. Since we obtained Cloudy Stone, we’ve been looking for a candidate who is capable of researching and developing it. Unfortunately, no suitable candidate shows up these years.“Cancer, I don’t worry about your capability at all. So, I want to invite you to Pivot Technology and study Cloudy Stone.”He made it sound very polite.Cancer was so excited that his body shook. He really did not have the re
Staring at Thomas’ signature, Aries felt very unhappy. He had worked with Cancer for so long, and he initially thought that they were buddies. Who would have thought that it was really hard to know a person’s true nature? Cancer had chosen to betray them at this critical time.“Darn it!” Aries punched the wall with great force.Right then, Samson walked into the office. He frowned and said, “Commander, what’s going on with Cancer?”Thomas handed the resignation letter to Samson. “From now onward, Cancer doesn’t have anything to do with Sterling Technology.” Samson sighed and said again, “We’re now facing a pretty serious problem now. After Cancer leaves, who will fill his vacancy. The research of the project of Science and Technology Alliance stops halfway. What if the people ask about it? Cancer plays a very important role in the company. If he leaves, it means the blood supply system of the company is cut off. We’ll be in a very difficult situation.” Yeah, this was a major pro
“All are good wines.“Kerry, I didn’t know you’re my fellow who also loves drinking wine.”Kerry chuckled and said, “Although I love drinking, I’m not healthy, so I can't drink more. I’m afraid that I can’t finish drinking these wines. It would be such a waste to keep them in my place.”Alan felt more excited.He really wanted to make Kerry give all these wines to him, but how should he say that?It should be said that the value of these wines was up to $10,000,000. How could he simply ask for them?However, Kerry seemed to have known what Alan thought. He said, “It’s meaningless for me to keep these wines. Why don’t I just give them to you, Mr. Shaw? Good swords should be given to a hero, and good wines should be given to a lucky person. Mr. Shaw, please bear the pain and accept these wines?”Bear the pain? Alan was so happy that he kept smiling.Even so, he was still clear-headed. He gulped and said, “How can I keep so many good wines? Kerry, if you need my help, please tel
Alan actually mentioned the government just to suppress Thomas. It was a typical situation where he was bribed by other people to come and trouble Thomas.This time, however, he had come to the wrong person!Thomas calmly said, “Mr. Shaw, I think you came here with a mission today. Let’s not make any guesses and get straight to the point. What do you want me to do?”Alan chuckled.“Okay, you’re still quite smart.“Since you’re so sensible, I won’t trouble you.“I want you to take the initiative to say you can’t complete the project, and you quit this project. Don’t think about becoming the leader of the alliance now.”It turned out that this was his purpose.Thomas sized Alan up. He felt puzzled as he asked, “But, it’s you who held a meeting and invited us to do it previously. Why have you changed your mind now?”Alan said, “It’s none of your business why I changed my mind. You just need to do as I say!”“Oh? Mr. Shaw, is this what you personally want, or was this decided by
“It’s… Power of Almighty?”Alan was still a little educated. When he saw the star, he knew Tigris’ identity.He gulped, and he felt frightened.Although the Academy of Social Sciences was totally unrelated to Power of Almighty, Alan still knew about Power of Almighty’s dignified reputation, especially when he heard that a new God of War had recently been elected. He was so dignified that nobody could afford to offend him.Naturally, a small character like Alan was not qualified to meet the God of War. But, he had been hearing about the God of War, so he also knew Power of Almighty.At this time, when Alan saw that a member of Power of Almighty appeared in the internal office of Sterling Technology, he could not help but feel scared and puzzled.What was the relationship between Power of Almighty and Thomas?Alan said to Tigris, “Power of Almighty is not related to the Academy of Social Sciences. You’d better mind your own business. There’s none of your business here. Get out o
Alan knelt and kept begging Thomas to forgive him.Was he joking? This man was the God of War. How could an insignificant person like him offend him?He found it hilarious when he thought about it. He even used the status of a government servant to suppress Thomas. Could he suppress Thomas? Thomas could just kill him easily!“Thomas, please show mercy and spare me.”It was only after he begged for ten minutes that Thomas finally spoke.“Mr. Shaw, we do not have any grudges against you, so I don’t understand why you would suddenly trouble me?”Alan immediately said, “I don’t want to do that either. It’s Kerry from Pivot Technology who made me do this. Honestly, he gave me dozens of good wines. I was so greedy, so I ended up doing such a stupid thing.”It was Pivot Technology again.It was Kerry again.Thomas smiled bitterly as he shook his head. This Pivot Technology was really annoying. No matter what, he still could not get rid of them.He said, “Okay, I got it. Mr. Shaw, yo
“Huh?”Cancer raised his head and saw a man walking out of the inner room.He knew that man. It was Aries.Cancer casually put away the documents and said disdainfully, “Everyone has a mission. My mission is to dedicate myself to science and technology, not to Thomas. Aries, we’re humans, not marionettes. Why should we be Thomas’s puppets for a lifetime?”Aries immediately got angry.He shouted, “The commander saved our lives! Without him, the Twelve Golden Zodiacs would have died on the battlefield! Without him, how could you and I have our achievements today?”Cancer shook his head.“Yes, you’re right. Thomas saved my life, but what of it?“He saved me. Am I going to work for him for the rest of my life?“Oh, please. I have done enough for him. Think about it, how many times have I helped him over the years? Without me, can Thomas be the God of War and grow the company to the point where it is today?“Aries, I also have my ideals and ambitions. Don’t you knot me up with Tho
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
