Every charge was very clear, and none of them was a wrong accusation.

Despite that, no matter how he thought about it, he still could not figure out how the case could suddenly be solved when he had clearly made a perfect plan.

Did Johnson solve the case?

It was impossible. He did not have the ability.

The more he pondered, the more he did not understand it. Garrick was handcuffed as he was escorted by the police.

Hambrick glanced around at everyone in the room, and he warned, “All of you better be careful of your behavior.”

“Let’s go.”

Hambrick then brought his people out of the room.

…..

Elsewhere, Johnson had driven his car to a road beside the river while he listened to the rain falling on top of his car.

His heart became totally cold.

If he could not borrow the money and find anyone who could help him, he would go to jail when the sun rose.

“I don’t want to go to jail.

“I refuse!”

While he felt lonely and hopeless, he looked at the surging river and made a firm decis

    33 Metro Garden Neighborhood, at the old villa.Emma and Felicia were waiting anxiously at home. Johnson had left for a long time, and he had not come back. They could not reach him by phone, so they did not know where he was.They called Jade and discovered that Johnson had left her place a long time ago.Since he had left, why was he not back yet?Both of them were so nervous that they paced around in the house.After a while, his car reached home. Johnson jogged into the house, and his body was totally soaked in rainwater.Felicia immediately went to grab a dry towel.“Where’s Thomas?” Johnson asked.Emma was stunned for a moment. What was wrong with her father? He had asked where Thomas was as soon as he came back home.“He just went out. I don’t know where he has gone either.”“Just went out? When will he come back?”“I’m not sure.” Emma then asked to test her father out, “Dad, why are you asking about him?”She could sense that Johnson was very serious. She did not kn

    “Are you serious?”“Of course.”Emma breathed a long sigh of relief. “No wonder my father was so agitated. Thomas, you saved my father’s life!”Thomas shrugged. “It’s nothing.”…..After a night, everything became better.Thomas still woke up early as usual. After he got ready, he wanted to go to the morning market to buy some vegetables. Who would have known that Johnson had woken up earlier than Thomas today?“Tom, let’s go. I’ll go and buy vegetables with you today.”“Huh?”While Thomas was still stunned, Johnson happily brought him to the market.As they bought groceries, Johnson kept complimenting Thomas when he met familiar people.“Mrs. Norris, look, this is my son-in-law, Thomas. He looks handsome, right?“Mrs. Klein, my son-in-law has just returned from the military. He’s very good at combat!“Mrs. Elon, honestly, my son-in-law is really kind. He is very filial to me and my wife.“Mr. Dunkley, look at my son-in-law, he is so kind and good-looking, right?”He kep

    In a dark house, Jeffy sat in front of a computer while he focused on editing a photo on the screen.The photo showed a sexy woman sitting on a man’s lap while she was being caressed and kissed.Meanwhile, there was a photo of Emma smiling faintly on another page.Jeffy cut Emma’s “head” out before he pasted it on the sexy woman’s photo. Then, he replaced the sexy woman’s head with Emma’s head by slowly merging, outlining, and sharpening the photo.After working for about five hours continuously, the photo was done. No trace of photoshop could be seen anymore.As an “artist”, that was Jeffy’s only good aspect.He leaned back in his chair and reached out to wipe off his sweat. He was quite satisfied with his product. Then, he opened a Word file and started to create a “background story” for the edited photo.On the next day, Jeffy printed his photoshopped picture and the background story that he had created before he kept them in an envelope.Then, he went to a news media networ

    “You just took my wife’s photo without her permission. I want to delete it.”“Your wife?” The man laughed. “Haha! You’re a silly man. Your wife has an affair behind your back. Haven’t you realized it?”Another man walked over and laughed. “Instead of wasting your time and talking to us, why don’t you go back and control your wife? Maybe she’s seducing another man when you’re not around.”“Gah! She’s such a beautiful woman, but she’s a witch who gets involved with men. What a shame!”“Why is it a shame? Isn’t it better now? Otherwise, how can we enjoy seeing her gorgeous figure?”“Not only can we see her figure, but we can also…” Those men wore smutty smiles in front of Thomas. “Bro, give us a price. How much do you need to—” Before he finished his words, Thomas’ anger completely erupted.He could not bear people disrespecting his wife.Bang!A loud thud was heard, and the man, who had spoken rudely by “asking for the price”, was totally punched. He was slammed against the w

    Emma felt embarrassed but angry. She could swear that she had not betrayed Thomas at all. But, where did this photo come from?She felt so aggrieved that she nearly cried. She held the phone while her body shivered.Thomas took off his coat and covered her body with it. “Don’t be anxious. I’ll surely handle it for you,” he gently said.“Everyone knows about this now. How can you handle it?”“Emma, trust me.”Emma bit her bottom lip while she looked at Thomas. When she could no longer bear it, she lowered her head in Thomas’ arms and started crying.Thomas comforted her while he scrolled to the bottom of the news. He stared at the source of the content at the bottom of the page. [Rafferty Cook, editor of Void Interaction Media Corporation.]Half an hour later, Thomas drove the car and brought Emma to Void Interaction Media Corporation’s building.It was a standard office building. Every floor had about four companies, and Void Interaction Media Corporation was located in B301 on

    “As a news reporter, my pen is more powerful than a gun. If you offend me, you won’t have a good end.”He was obviously threatening them!Emma felt worked up and angrily said, “This is obviously fake news, and the photo is also photoshopped. You knew all of this, so why did you still publish it? Aren’t you purposely slandering me? Where’s your conscience?”Rafferty dusted off the cigarette with his hand and breathed out some smoke.“Conscience?“May I know how much conscience costs?“How much website traffic can conscience bring?”Emma was speechless. These people did not have any principles for the sake of website traffic and money.Rafferty breathed out more smoke. “All right, I can’t bear to see outsiders like you. Didn’t you just want to remove the news and a public apology to restore your reputation? It’s not impossible. The price is $5,000,000.”Ultimately, it was all about money!“The purpose of publishing the news is for website traffic and money,” he said.“As long

    At this time, Bonnie Marsh, the boss of the company, was sitting on her office chair while drawing eyebrows. She was shocked by Emma’s sudden voice. Her hands trembled, so she accidentally moved her eyebrow pencil and outlined her eyebrow wrongly.She angrily put down her eyebrow pencil and mirror before she glared at Emma.“Who are you? Who allowed you to enter my office?“Get out!”Emma sneered. She directly walked over, slammed the table, and questioned, “Your editor, Rafferty Cook viciously created a news article and used a photoshopped photo. He slandered me and caused a huge negative impact. Aren’t you bothered by it?”Right then, Thomas and Rafferty also walked into the office.Bonnie casually asked, “Rafferty, is this Madam telling the truth?”Rafferty kept shaking his head. “No! Don’t you understand me, Boss? I never talk nonsense. I’m very fair. I have evidence for all the news I report.”Bonnie nodded. “Madam, did you hear that? My staff is not wrong.”Emma was tota

    Thomas coughed. “So? Do you agree?”Emma pouted. “I don’t want to bet with a pervert like you. Shameless!”She said that, but she secretly felt happy. She even wished that she would lose the bet.She did not only want Rafferty to apologize...She also wanted to “give herself” to Thomas. She already had the thought for some time, and it was rare for Thomas to take the initiative to bring it up.However, she was still a virgin, so she felt embarrassed and anxious whenever she talked about it.Even if she had the intention, she also did not know what she should say.“Sit here for a while. I’ll go and handle something. I’ll be back in a minute.”Thomas then left his seat.He called Anna when he came outside the cafe.“Hello, Anna, did you communicate with all the channels in Southland City that you told me about yesterday?”“Yes.”“Can we publish any content?”“Yes, but we haven’t established the cultural and entertainment base currently, let alone the content production.

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
