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.
In the Martin family’s manor, Dylan was watching a TV series with his wife, Samantha Brock, at home. He was feeding his wife fruit while massaging her legs.Although Dylan had many mistresses and he had other women all over the country, he was still very loyal to his wife. No matter how hard he fooled around outside, he was very obedient at home.Perhaps, it was precisely because of too much suffocation at home that made him often go out to indulge.He had no other choice as his wife was very fierce.Even though Dylan was ferocious to other people, he was like a well-behaved little cat when he came home. He did not dare to defy his wife.He was someone who was afraid of his wife.“Samantha, what do you think about my massage?” Dylan asked respectfully.“Well, it’s okay.” Samantha changed to another leg and let Dylan massage it. She continued to eat fruit and watch television, just like a queen.In the whole Martin family, Samantha basically looked down on everyone except for th
What should she do now?Daisy asked, “Cindy, where are you taking me?”Cindy smiled and said, “To the place where we first met.”“Cloud River?”“Yes, let’s fall into the Cloud River together and let the love between us grow to another level!”Daisy felt sick.Love? Her sexual orientation was normal, and she did not have the slightest feelings for Cindy.“Cindy, let me get out of the car. I really have no feelings for you.”Cindy’s expression kept changing, but the speed did not decrease at all.“It doesn’t matter, Daisy. It’s enough as long as I treat you well.”Such one-sided “love” was the most troublesome. She was not interested in her at all, but she still troubled her and even took her to die.Was this love?This was selfishness!They were getting closer to the Cloud River. Within a few tens of seconds, it was estimated that the car would be able to break through the railing and fall directly into the Cloud River from the highway.Even if the police found Cindy’s car
As the axe was about to land on Thomas’s arm, Daisy did not care anymore and bumped Cindy using her body during that critical moment. Cindy was concussed, and she was stuck between the car seats.It showed how much Daisy cared about Thomas as the gentle and kind-hearted woman was being forced to this point.“Ms. Martin, come up!”Thomas extended out his other hand and grabbed Daisy at the same time. He pulled Daisy directly to the roof of the car.At the same time, a helicopter drove directly over, and the rope ladder was lowered.Thomas hugged Daisy’s waist with one hand, and his other hand tightly grasped the swinging rope ladder. Then, he was hung up by the helicopter and flew up.In the car, only Cindy was left.She saw Daisy being rescued through the car window, and her face showed her desperation.“No! No!”She scratched desperately at her face. She had been scheming for so long. In the end, she would die alone, yet Daisy was rescued safely. How could she accept such a s
“Okay, Laura, I’ll leave this to you. Make sure to let Thomas know that his good days are over!”“I will!”Laura kept the letter. As soon as the meeting was over, she rushed to Sterling Technology with her subordinates.At this time, after Thomas had dealt with the Martin family’s affairs, he had just returned to Sterling Technology. He walked into the office and sat then. Then, Diana, his secretary, rushed in.“Mr. Mayo, bad news.“The people from the Pivot Technology come menacingly, as if they are here to declare war.”To declare war?Thomas narrowed his eyes. This was interesting.“Let them in.”“Okay.”Diana immediately let the people from Pivot Technology come to the office door, but she only let Laura walk into the office alone.“Diana, go out first and close the door at the same time.”“Okay.”Diana left the office according to Thomas’s instructions. She shut the door and stared at the other people of Pivot Technology outside. If there was any unruly behavior, she
Laura took a deep breath. She carefully opened the autopsy report and read it carefully.From top to bottom and from the first page to the last page. She read it all without fail.In fact, she had reached a conclusion when she saw less than one-fifth of it. She read it all just to verify the authenticity of this report.Judging from the narrative, typesetting, seal, signature, etc., this was indeed a police autopsy report with extremely high credibility.In fact, such an autopsy report could be obtained with some kind of method, and it was not very difficult.However, when Laura was in Pivot Technology, the people around her could not get it even after using various methods. She felt that something was wrong at the time, as if someone deliberately keeping her from the truth.Until now, after reading the real autopsy report, Laura roughly understood the reason.Judging from this autopsy report, Master Centipede had not died of fire.Although Master Centipede was scorched by the
Thomas was not in a hurry either. He knew that this seed of “doubt” had been planted, and as time passed and doubts increased, the “tree of truth” would grow up sooner or later.The door opened and Laura walked out with a cold expression.Diana quickly walked in and asked, “Mr. Mayo, what did you say to Laura that made her so angry?”Thomas waved his hand. “She is not angry. She is confused.”After Laura returned to Pivot Technology, she shut herself in the office. She held the photos of Master Centipede when he was still alive and stroked it over and over again.“Godfather, what is the truth?“Is it really Kerry?“If it is, what should I do?”If the murderer was Kerry, then Laura would be desperate. It was impossible for her to kill Kerry. After all, her own life was saved by Kerry back then.In today’s world, she could kill anyone, but she could not kill Kerry.“Godfather, please tell me the answer.”Laura was quite distressed and asked over and over again at the photo.R
The next morning, Thomas received an invitation letter from the Martin family to attend a banquet to thank him.Over the past few days, Thomas had helped the Martin family a lot, and the head of the Martin family specially held a thank-you banquet for this, just to get close to Thomas.Of course, the main purpose was to bring Thomas and Daisy together.When it was almost noon, Thomas arrived at the hotel on time. Arthur personally came to greet him, and they came to the highest standard room in the hotel.Eating a meal here took millions of dollars, an absolute astronomical figure.Only wealthy families like the Martin family were qualified to treat guests here. Most people did not even have the qualifications to sit here.After the guests and the host were seated, everyone was waiting patiently.Besides Arthur, Daisy, Dylan, and some of the Martin family’s executives who came today, there was also a special person who would also be there.That person was Dylan’s wife, Samantha
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
