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
Thomas nodded. “Don’t worry, you don’t have to say that. I also know what to do. She’s eyed by a pervert now, so she is already in a bad mood. If she knows that her best friend uses her to kill someone, Daisy would be depressed.”Laura’s eyes were filled with some guilt.She was really going too far for Daisy.Without saying anything else, Laura just opened the door, walked out, and left the villa.After Laura left, Thomas called Aries.“Hello, Commander, how can I help you?”“Aries, help me investigate Master Centipede’s death.”“Master Centipede? Wasn’t he burned to death?”“The reason may be different. Go to the police station and find out why Master Centipede died. Bring the information back to me.”“Yes, Sir!”After Thomas ended the call, he leaned on the couch and broke into a helpless, bitter smile.He really did not expect that he would get into such trouble. He was actually blamed for Master Centipede’s accidental death.Speaking of which, when Master Centipede was
When Craig heard the question, his hands clearly trembled. However, due to his tough mentality, he quickly calmed down.Laura witnessed all of his responses.Craig looked sad as he said, “Master Centipede was burned alive by the fire. Gah! The autopsy report said that his chest cavity was full of dust, and he died quite miserably.”“Really?”If that was really the case, then she could confirm that Thomas had sent someone to set the fire and kill Master Centipede.But… Laura still felt that something was not right.After she had been dealing with people these years, she could tell whether the person was lying with a glance. Although Craig was mentally great, she could still sense the smell of lies from his uncertain gaze. There had to be a problem.Laura asked, “Can I take a look at the autopsy report?”Crag chuckled. “How is it possible? The police are in charge of the autopsy report. Why would they give it to us?”“Then, can you ask the police to show me for a while?”“I
Thomas smiled bitterly as he shook his head.He examined everything to see if all the food was fine while he said, “If you just wanted to treat me, you didn’t have to prepare so much food because I don’t have such a huge appetite.”The assessment was then completed.“There’s no problem with the food. We can eat now.”“Okay!”It was the first time that Daisy and Thomas sat across from each other on opposite sides of the table, and they ate together.The two of them did not have any common topics to discuss, and the atmosphere got really awkward.After Daisy ate, she went back to her room and rested. Thomas naturally went with her as well. Daisy lay on her bed, while Thomas sat on the couch. They did not talk at all.Daisy felt flustered. She wanted to find a topic of conversation, but she found it weird.At last, she felt that it was quite good for them to just stay together quietly.The night slowly turned darker.It was time for Daisy to take a shower and go to bed. In the
Thomas subconsciously moved his gaze away from the curtain.One second. Two seconds. Three seconds.After he calmed down completely, he returned his gaze to the curtain.In Thomas’s eyes, watching the graceful body was just like watching a shadow play, and it would not arouse his desire anymore.After forty minutes, Daisy finally finished showering. Thomas did not know why it took so long for a woman to take a bath. He usually took five minutes to shower, and it would be no more than ten minutes at most.But after thinking about it carefully, it seemed that when his wife, Emma, took a shower, she took more than thirty minutes as well.As Thomas was thinking about it, the curtains opened. Then, a lovely girl emitting a sweet-smelling fragrance appeared.Because she took a long time to shower, she had forgotten that Thomas was still sitting at the door.After bathing, she subconsciously lifted the curtains and prepared to go outside as usual. “Ah!”Daisy screamed and quickl
After the chat, she would be picked up by Thomas directly and sent back to the villa. There were no other activities during the period and even going to the toilet was prohibited.Under such harsh conditions, they did not believe that the murderer would be capable of hurting Daisy.Finally, Thomas kindly reminded her, “Ms. Martin, if possible, I still suggest that you give up on today’s activities and go back with me now. This is the best way to keep your life safe.”It was true.However, it was still too difficult for Daisy to give up the result of so many years of hard work that was about to come true.“I really need to talk to Mr. Jerry.”“Okay.” Thomas did not force her but just reminded, “The time for you is only twenty minutes. Try to simplify the content as much as possible. Talk about the main points and don’t chat so much.”“Got it.”Then, Thomas personally sent Daisy into the company and walked toward the stage along the red carpet.Along the way, the camera kept sho
Daisy became happier as she chatted with Jerry. She told him all her constructive ideas and got Jerry’s affirmation.When everyone thought that today’s meeting would be successfully completed, an accident happened.Jerry smiled and put his hand into the briefcase. At first, everyone thought it was a very ordinary action, but the next scene was frightening.Jerry took out a lighter and a bottle of unknown liquid from his bag. He opened the lid and prepared to pour it on Daisy.Such a scene shocked Daisy. She froze at the scene and stopped halfway through the conversation.The group of people below were taking pictures, and they were all startled by Jerry’s sudden movements.It was impossible for someone to stop this kind of action as the thinking time given was too short for them to react.Besides, who would have thought that the pervert who wrote those letters would be Mr. Jerry?Such a famous expert in the world was actually a pervert who wanted to be burned to death with Dais
Thomas arranged for Daisy to get in the car.Right then, Cindy took the initiative to come over and said, “Mr. Mayo, please help us take care of the imposter.”“I will.”“Then I’ll personally send Ms. Martin back.”“Okay, I’ll arrange a car to escort you two back.”As soon as Thomas waved his hand, several cars immediately came to escort them, and Cindy drove Daisy back to the villa personally.After watching their car leave, Thomas was ready to return to the company to investigate in detail to see what the imposter had planned.At this moment, a phone call came.“Hello.”“Mr. Mayo, we have already investigated the hotel where Mr. Jerry stayed. As you guessed, Mr. Jerry was kidnapped and locked in the room all the time. His clothes and documents were taken away by the imposter.”“Got it.”It was as Thomas had guessed, there was nothing surprising.The matter should have ended here.Thomas was also about to hang up, but another sentence came from the other end of the phone.
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
