Sales increased continuously.However, it was not a big deal. Most importantly, the reputation of Sterling Technology was totally improved after this incident. They became the representative of a good company in people’s eyes.They were the warriors who fought their rival, the Gomez family, without fearing the power!Meanwhile, the Gomez family became the “trash” that everyone despised. They even had to face a warning letter from Sterling Technology’s lawyer, which accused them of hiring actresses to slander Sterling Technology.The news media even added fuel to the fire and made all sorts of rumors.At a time, everyone in Central City knew about the launch event of Sterling Technology.This time, the reputation of the Gomez family was completely ruined.At midnight, Nicholas and Dominic sat on the couch at home, feeling upset.They executed three plans, which were Plans A, B, and C, but all the plans failed. They even got themselves into trouble. The lawsuit was not terrifying
At midnight, in front of a huge window in a black room, Laura held a red wine glass alone. She did not turn on the light. She sadly stood in front of the window while staring at the bright moon in the sky.“Godfather, Weiss, are you having a good life in heaven?“I miss both of you so much.”When it was a silent night, she would feel sad and hopeless.At the same time, her hatred toward Thomas would slowly flow out.Laura muttered to herself, “Even the Gomez family can’t handle Thomas? Does justice really not exist in the world? Does a vicious person like this just stay unpunished?“Good people have a short life, while the jerk stays alive forever.“Haha! I don’t believe it! I don’t believe I have no way to kill Thomas!”Laura finished drinking the remaining red wine.Right then, her phone rang.It was a call from an unexpected person, Daisy.Since Pivot Technology had left the Martin family, Laura’s relationship with the Martin family had become terrible. The Martin family
Laura nearly laughed out loud.She was really speechless about this innocent, cute girl. She guessed this was the first time for Daisy to approach a man so intimately.It was why she was troubled about what she should wear, talk about, and do tomorrow.She even repeatedly practiced the first sentence that she wanted to say for a long time. Laura really could not do anything with her.While Laura was ready to teach her, she suddenly came up with a scary idea.She realized that it was an opportunity.It would be a precious chance to kill Thomas!Thomas would guard against anyone, but he would not guard against Daisy, and Daisy would not guard against Laura. Did this mean Laura could kill Thomas using Daisy?Using Daisy to kill Thomas was a little heartless, and it would also cause Daisy traumatic mental damage that could not be healed.But, Laura had to do that for her Godfather and Weiss.Laura hesitated for a long time before she finally said, “Tomorrow will be the first time
At about 1.00 am, Laura came to Daisy’s independent villa in the countryside. After the security guard verified her identity, they let her in.As soon as she entered the house, Daisy ran over excitedly and held Laura’s hands.“Laura, I’ve waited for you for so long.”“Look at you, silly girl. Why are you so anxious? Are you longing for that man so much?”Daisy’s complexion turned red. “Don’t talk such nonsense. Who longs for that man? I just don’t know what I should talk to him about tomorrow. We’ll officially meet for the first time, so I have to plan it properly. Otherwise, I’ll look rude.”“Hey, do you also know the manners, Ms. Martin? You usually show a dark face when you face other men.”“They’re different!”During the time the girls chatted and laughed, they officially started discussing the plan for the next day.Laura slowly analyzed men’s thoughts for Daisy, and she gave Daisy some suggestions as she taught her how to talk and act.Then, she even personally chose the
Well, she could die!Daisy was a very innocent girl, and she had finally fallen for a man after twenty years.If she knew that Thomas was married, she was going to be depressed!“No, you can’t tell her. At least, you can’t tell her for now!”Dylan did not want to see his sister cry and look gloomy at home every day. He had to find a suitable opportunity to tell her.So, it was better to keep it a secret now.When the car was driven to the villa, the security guard walked forward and checked the situation.When Dylan lowered the window and showed his face, the security guard immediately saluted him. “Good morning, Mr. Martin!”“Hmm. Is my sister home?”“Yes.”Dylan stepped on the accelerator, and he drove to the courtyard before he stopped the car.The three of them got out of the car one after another before they walked to the house.The housekeeper opened the door and welcomed them. As soon as they entered the lobby, they smelled a refreshing scent. The house had been clea
Daisy was shocked. Was the matter so serious?She quickly took the letter and read it. There was a written sentence. [Dear Daisy, I’m deeply in love with you. You and I will become one in the burning fire.]The sentence in the letter indicated that he wanted to be burned to death with Daisy.This meant that the pervert could not hold himself anymore. As long as there was a suitable opportunity, he would hurt Daisy.It was becoming more dangerous.At this time, Daisy finally realized that danger was coming. She looked panicked as she looked at other people like a terrified bird. She softly asked, “So… So, what should I do now?”Thomas calmly said, “Don’t go anywhere. Just stay at home until the pervert is caught.”“Isn’t that like becoming a prisoner?”“Being a prisoner is better than losing your life!”If other people said that, Daisy would have angrily swung her sleeves and left. But, Thomas was the person who said that, so Daisy could not refute him. Instead, she was like a
Um… Why did she… feel a little… sleepy… Daisy felt sleepy for some reason. Perhaps it was because she had stayed up nearly the whole night yesterday. Right then, she felt very sleepy, and she could not open her eyes.‘Darn it! Mr. Mayo finally… Why do I feel sleepy… This is so embarrassing…’ Although Daisy wanted to stay awake, she did not know why her eyes were closing, and she could not open her eyes.In the end, Daisy just lay on the couch and fell asleep.“Ms. Martin?”Thomas called Daisy. Then, he also felt his eyes closing, and he felt very sleepy.“Why do I feel so sleepy? Am I too tired recently?”Thomas rubbed his eyes and forced himself to stay awake, but he could only survive for about five minutes. In the end, he leaned on the couch and fell asleep as well.Daisy and Thomas fell asleep on the couch at the same time.At the corner of the staircase on the second floor, Laura, who had been eavesdropping walked out. She stared at Thomas on the couch, and her eyes
In the lobby, Laura took a deep breath. She stared at Thomas for a few seconds before she stabbed him with the dagger without hesitation.With Laura’s skills, it was just a piece of cake for her to stab an unconscious person who could not defend himself at such a short distance.However, just as she nearly stabbed Thomas’ neck with her dagger, the situation suddenly changed.Thomas swiftly reached out to grab Laura’s wrist!In an instant, Laura could not move forward or back.“Ah!”Laura was totally shocked. Anyone would also be shocked in this situation.She did not expect that Thomas, who should be unconscious, would suddenly wake up, and he even instantly subdued her.The impact was really too strong.It should not have happened.It was impossible.Laura had used Daisy to drug Thomas. Theoretically, why would Thomas guard against Daisy?Besides, Laura also clearly saw that Thomas had drunk the coffee.“Why didn’t you sleep?” Laura was really confused.Thomas chuckled a
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
