Nicholas chuckled. “If we stop the media, who will report on the scandal of Thomas’ launch event? Tomorrow, I’m going to let the media see how embarrassing Thomas is and let everyone in Central City know that Sterling Technology has fallen apart after leaving the Gomez family!”“Oh, I see.” Dominic showed a thumbs-up. “You’ve thought it through, Grandpa. Sterling Technology has lost a great amount of money. They look strong on the surface, but they are fragile on the inside. If the first battle is not handled well, they will fall without a doubt!”Dominic suddenly changed the subject. He chuckled and asked, “Grandpa, when Thomas is really at a dead end, are you going to be ruthless or are you going to spare him?”After all, Thomas was Nicholas’ biological grandson.They were blood-related.If Nicholas chose to spare Thomas and show some mercy, it would not be strange.Actually, Nicholas already had an answer for this question a long time ago.He calmly answered, “The key to Thom
Dominic poured himself a glass of wine, but before he drank it, his phone rang.He put down the wine glass and answered the call.“Mr. Gomez, something happened. Some people rushed in from our side!”The person on the line was someone whom Dominic had stationed outside to specifically stop people who intended to attend Thomas’ launch event. Their numbers and abilities were not bad.Besides, when normal people saw members of the Gomez family there, they would subconsciously walk away. It was impossible for them to recklessly rush inside.Yet… why would there still be such arrogant people?Dominic frowned and asked, “What’s wrong with you? What were you doing? Why couldn’t you handle such a small matter?”“No, Mr. Gomez. We dared not stop those people. It’s not that we didn’t put in any effort.”“What? Who are they?”“They are members of the Martin family!”Dominic was totally stunned this time. Why would the Martin family members suddenly rush in?Across from him, Nicholas as
Nicholas clenched his fist and threw a hard punch at the wall. He gritted his teeth and said, “Darn it! These jerks from the Martin family are going against the Gomez family!”Dominic said, “It’s no surprise. We took their Pivot Technology, so they’ve turned their backs and collaborated with Sterling Technology. It’s also normal for them to want to humiliate us.”This was really going to be interesting.The Gomez family and the Martin family, as well as Sterling Technology and Pivot Technology, used to compete against each other. However, they had actually exchanged partners in just one week.No one could ascertain whether the Gomez family or the Martin family would remain until the very end.Nicholas scuffed. “It’s just the Martin family. We’ve stopped the other companies, so they won’t be able to create any sensation.”As soon as he spoke, he saw two cars being driven over.Some people had arrived again!Nicholas glared at Dominic. “What’s going on? How are your subordinates
The more Nicholas thought about it, the more frightened he was. If the reporters honestly reported on the event, once the news of the grand occasion was spread out, everyone would have confidence in Sterling Technology again.No way. He would not allow such a thing to happen!“Dominic.”“Yes, Grandpa?”“Get ready to execute Plan B.”“Okay.”Dominic immediately took out his phone and made a call. “Hello, is this Mr. Hart? About that thing we agreed on some time ago, could you please help us?”At this point in Sterling Technology’s launch event, the members of the Martin family, the Science and Technology Alliance, and the Academy of Social Sciences took their seats. The reporters at the event were extremely excited.They initially thought it was going to be a quiet launch event, but so many influential big bosses showed up unexpectedly.When one or two of these big guys showed up, it would already be very impressive, not to mention that all of them showed up together now!It s
It looked like he was purposely going against Thomas.Alan from the Academy of Social Sciences stood up and looked unhappy as he said, “Darius Hart, don’t you think you sound very arrogant? Isn’t it fine as long as your company approves the assessment? Why does he need to wait for your signature?”“Alan Shaw, just mind your own business. You don’t need to interrupt a third-party quality inspection company. Let me tell you, if this product doesn’t pass my assessment, it can’t be put on the market!” Darius said disdainfully.That was how it was.Any sensible person could tell that Darius was purposely giving Thomas trouble.However, strictly speaking, it did not seem like they could pick on any problem. Darius indeed owned the power to control this area. If Thomas did not obtain his approval, he would not be able to open for sale.Did the launch event today have to be canceled because of Darius? Would it turn into a joke?The reporters took out their cameras and took photos. The
Darius gulped and felt like he was in trouble now. It seemed that he did not have a good “business deal” today. He had initially wanted to get on good terms with the Gomez family by teaching Thomas a lesson.However, who would have known that Thomas was actually Mr. Sparks’ student! Mr. Sparks even stepped forth and defended Thomas. The matter became very difficult to handle now.Yes, Darius could persist until the end. He could forcefully end the launch event without bothering Mr. Sparks. After all, Mr. Sparks was just a normal citizen, and he also had a reason to reject Thomas’ new product.But what would happen after that?With his status, Mr. Sparks did not have to do anything. Once the big guys in Central City heard that their teacher was “bullied,” they would immediately rush over and kill Darius.How could he afford to be suppressed by those big guys?So, he could not offend Mr. Sparks.Between the Gomez family and Mr. Sparks, he would rather offend the Gomez family tha
“This trash who bends with the wind is so useless!” Nicholas was so angry that he gritted his teeth. However, at this point, he had no choice but to watch Thomas become successful again.Dominic could not help but whisper, “Grandpa, I still have Plan C. I wonder if it will work.”“Say it.”Dominic whispered the whole plan to Nicholas.Nicholas frowned and looked gloomy.“Honestly, your plan is mediocre at best. However, it may humiliate Thomas. Maybe it can really ruin their launch event today.“This plan is better than nothing. Just give it a try.“You have to find someone reliable. Don’t find a jerk like Darius who will betray us easily.”Dominic nodded. “Don’t worry, Grandpa. I’ll find a reliable person this time!”At this time, Sterling Technology’s launch event was bustling.The atmosphere was buzzing as influential people came to congratulate them. When Mr. Sparks arrived, it made the event more sensational.The quality of Sterling Technology’s product was great, and
The scariest thing in the world was to encounter a fake accident and shameless people.You could not be too agitated. Once you were agitated, it would make the crowds angry, and it would be harder to end the incident.At the event, the lady sat on the ground and cried loudly with her face full of tears. It must be said that her acting skills were terrific. She even moved a lot of passersby.Some kind old men and old ladies came forward to comfort her, and they even gave her some wet tissues.The lady wiped away her tears while she scolded. “Sterling Technology is really a jerk! You use poor-quality products to bluff the users. You made my daughter faint. I’m not going to get even with you!”Aries walked over and asked, “Madam, are you sure that your daughter fainted only after using our product?”“Of course! My daughter was fine and healthy. When she used your new product, she said she was not feeling well. Then, she fainted. What else could it be if there's nothing wrong with yo
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
