Nicholas' imposing manner was gone, and he took a few steps back, wide-eyed, staring at Thomas incredulously.He was adamant that there it was impossible.How could there be such a coincidence in this world?However, when he looked at Thomas and Dominic at the same time, he had to believe it.At least seventy percent of Thomas's appearance was identical to Dominic's.‘How could they be so alike if they were not blood relatives?’Nicholas asked, “What makes me believe what you say?”Thomas gave a gentle smile and said, "You have the decision of not believing it. It was never my objective for you to believe it. I'm only here to inform you of it. Believe it or not, that's your business."Nicholas, when Grace was pregnant, you abandoned her, leaving my grandmother to raise two children on her own until she died at the factory. I will get even with you for this."“Sterling Technology will become the sword that will kill the Gomez’s family!”Every word and sentence was sonorous and
Just as the words were spoken, Master Centipede’s ancestral tablet suddenly tumbled and clattered to the ground.‘Hm?’Laura hurried over to pick up Master Centipede’s ancestral tablet and rubbed it.“Godfather, are you feeling excited too?” Laura said with a smile. Then she looked at Kerry’s face. His face had turned as white as paper.The atmosphere grew denser and heavier as he stared at the ancestral tablet.Laura put the ancestral tablet back in its original place and then said, "Kerry, I’ll go handle the company’s handover tasks first. You take a good rest."“Okay, go ahead.”Kerry stood up and glanced at the ancestral tablet after Laura had departed.In a sarcastic tone, he said, "Godfather, you don't seem very pleased, do you? Why? Do you want to hint to Laura that your death has nothing to do with Thomas? Unfortunately, you are already a dead man. You can appear in her dream and tell her if you have the ability! Hahahahaha. "The current Kerry had no fear.Or in ot
The cold sweat on Aries's forehead continued to flow down as he looked at those accountants' quick calculations. Who knew how overblown the figure will turn out to be in the end?No matter how much it is, it had to be more than 2 billion.Dominic gently took a sip from the cup of tea, making a tutting noise while doing so, and looked at Thomas.“Speaking of which, it seems I should address you as ‘brother’?”Thomas laughed lightly, "If you don't mind being embarrassed, feel free to call me that."Dominic put down his cup of tea and said, with a slight sense of meaning, "Grandfather did those things back then. It is indeed a little too much, but then again, which of these privileged sons of these big families does not have a history of affairs?After a pause, he pointed to himself and said, "Take me, for example. The affairs I had outside are on par with grandfather's.“Thomas, I can understand your rage, but there are alternative ways to deal with this matter. There is absolutel
Dominic Gomez went back to the topic. “I advise you to give up, Thomas Mayo. It is all for your well-being. Grandfather is already old, and he is someone who can be easily persuaded. As long as you obediently yield, return with me, and apologize to grandfather, maybe he will become soft-hearted at that moment and grow fond of his unexpected grandson, which is you. Then would you not get whatever you ask for and be able to show off?”At the end of the day, Sterling Technology was a “money-making machine”. It was impossible for the Gomez family to let go of Sterling Technology that easily.In face of the overbearing Gomez family and an astronomical figure of fifty-one billion six hundred million dollars, Thomas was unusually calm.He looked at Dominic while pointing at the bill and said, “You are sure that the figure of fifty-one billion and six hundred million dollars is correct?”“Of course.”“It will not be changed?”“Nope.““With the settlement of fifty-one billion and six hun
Dominic Gomez could not believe it. He took the settlement account form, turned on the computer himself, and took half an hour as he checked and verified each one of them.Thomas Mayo was not in a rush. He sat there quietly as he watched Dominic verifying everything. “How is it? Are there any discrepancies?” Dominic looked pale.The settlement account form was crystal clear without any issues. Fifty-one billion six hundred million dollars was completely settled.He even called the Gomez family’s accountant and had them verify it thrice.There were still no issues with it.But how could it be?Dominic looked at Thomas puzzled and said, “I know how much Sterling Technology earns annually. It is impossible for Sterling Technology to have so much extra income.”“Thomas Mayo, where did this money come from? Is this money legal?”Thomas smiled. “If you think there is a problem, you are more than welcome to investigate. I only want to know one thing now — has the fifty-one billion
“Hmm?” “What is going on?”Diana Red came over and said, “Mr. Mayo, there seems to be a fire there. There seem to be people stranded inside the building.”“Let’s take a look.”Thomas threw his cigarette and drove his car to the fire scene.On their way there, they were stuck on the road.It was rush hour and the road was full of traffic. Thomas Mayo got off the car and noticed that even the emergency lane was on both sides of the road was congested by private cars as well.There was no way for the fire truck to get to the fire scene in time.At that very moment itself, the fire department was struggling to clear the road to the fire scene.It was rush hour. The number of cars on the road was so overwhelming that it was impossible for them to go through.The building would be burnt to a crisp by the time the fire truck arrived.Thomas made his way through the crowd with Aries following right behind him.As they got nearer to the building that caught fire, they realized that
Usually, if a hero stood up for the sake of others, it was something worthy of praise.But, not only that Thomas Mayo’s actions were not praised, he was instead mocked by the crowd.“Heh, this guy prefers money over his life huh?”“There is probably something wrong in his head. Can he not see how intense the fire is? How can he, a normal human being, rescue everyone alone?“People nowadays lose their mind when money is involved.”“Just you watch, he will head in to rescue people now, but later, he will need someone else to save him instead.”“An idiot who loves money but not his own life.”Everyone took their turns and bad-mouthed Thomas. From their point of view, Thomas had come forward for the ‘two million dollars.’Did they not consider if he had the capability to earn two million dollars on his own?If rescuing someone was so simple, others would have stood forward. Would he ever get his turn?A brainless idiot!Arthur was not confident in Thomas as well.In the face of
Arthur Martin grabbed Thomas Mayo’s collar and said in rage, “I told you to get lost. Do you hear me?!”He waved at the police nearby. “Quickly get this rascal out of my face, having him within my sights angers me!”Right when the police were about to take Thomas away, a buzzing sound of a rotating propeller came from the distant sky.The buzzing sound came in waves.Hmm?Everyone looked up at the sky with questions in their mind.All that can be seen was a large number of helicopters, as they came forth one after another. The fleet formed a cloud, there was no saying how many of them were there.But everyone present knew that there was a huge number of them.The scene was so grand that it etched its mark on the crowd, deeply shocking them.“Is that... a plane?”“How could there be so many of them? So scary.”“What are they here for?”While they were still questioning why they were here, the helicopters flew over Restaurant Cosmic Dawn and hovered right above it.The cabin
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
