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
Judging from the seats at the scene, Arthur was in the main seat, followed by Samantha, and then Dylan.Samantha’s seat was higher than Dylan’s.Met with such a scene, Thomas suddenly understood why Dylan would look for so many mistresses. He bought a villa at every place to raise his mistresses.This was because Dylan had no way to feel “love” from Samantha. He was simply a lowly servant in front of Samantha.How could the dignified son and heir of the Martin family, who was also the current deputy chairman, be able to bear it?That was why he needed to vent outside.Samantha sat down and found Thomas directly with her eyes. The purpose of her attending the banquet today was to see Thomas.Being able to rescue Daisy under extreme conditions was enough to show Thomas’s strength.But Samantha had not come to thank Thomas. On the contrary, she was here to pressure Thomas and stabilize her position.It was because everyone knew that Arthur was very fond of Thomas and intended to
Before Thomas could use the fork, Samantha took the initiative to pick up a piece of chicken and put it on the plate. She did not treat Thomas as a guest at all and did not give him any respect.She looked at the chicken on the plate and asked with a smile, “Dad, if I'm not mistaken, this curry chicken was cooked using the ‘colorful chickens’ marinated in different spices, right? You bought them from a remote mountain half a year ago, and you have hired a professional chef to feed them.”Arthur stroked his beard. He laughed and said, “Exactly! These chickens took a lot of my effort, so I wouldn’t take them out easily.”At first, Arthur meant to highlight the preciousness of the colorful chickens. Using such precious chickens to entertain Thomas with curry chicken also reflected his respect for Thomas.However, Samantha said coldly, “No matter how precious and beautiful a chicken is, it is still a chicken. It is being treated well only to eat its meat. Some people must be clear abou
Samantha could finish a pot of spicy shabu-shabu by herself, even if it was ten times hotter than this one!Otherwise, why would she be so short-tempered and sneered at the rest of the world?She was an amazing spitfire who spewed fire every time she opened her mouth. How could anyone ask her to eat less spicy food because she might end up destroying her tongue? Ha! They worried too much. Everyone dismissed Thomas’s comments and shook their heads in amusement. Even Daisy, who had a lot of trust in Thomas, was also skeptical of what he said.Samantha added a few more pieces of curry chicken to her plate, poured herself a glass of whiskey, and downed a few gulps while looking like a queen.“To be honest, Mr. Mayo, I made this dish a lot less spicy since I was being considerate of you, because I’m afraid it would be too much for a Central City person like you, who’s used to sweet things. “If it's a normal occasion, I’d put ten times as many chilies in there, and only then, it wo
“Ah—it hurts!”Samantha hid her face behind her hands and shrieked in agony, as if she had been scalded by boiling water.Everyone’s attention was drawn to her, and they noticed that little red pimples that were filled with pus appeared on her face.If the pimples burst, the pus will flow down the rest of her face.If the pus came into contact with the skin, it would feel agonizing, as if the skin was being corroded by acid.Suddenly, everyone started panicking. Even the spice enthusiast could succumb to this? Maybe what Thomas just said was not so unreasonable after all. Samantha really could not handle the spiciness. “Honey, what happened?” Dylan asked nervously. He reached out to touch it but Samantha quickly stopped him. “Don’t touch me. It hurts like hell.”“What happened to Samantha, Mr. Mayo? Why did pimples appear on her face all of a sudden? And why are they even full of pus?” Arthur asked Thomas right away.“Brahma chicken is slightly different from other chicke
“Thank goodness.”After hearing what Noel said, the crowd let out a sigh of relief. It was fortunate that the illness was not that serious. After that, Noel prescribed several medicines to Samantha. “Go get the medicines I have prescribed,” he said as he handed Dylan the prescription. Hurry up, she has to be healed right away.”“Oh, okay.”Right as Dylan was ready to go and get the medicines, Thomas interrupted and said coldly, “There’s something wrong with the prescription. It’ll not only fail to treat Mrs. Martin’s illness, but it’ll exacerbate it instead. If that happens, it’ll be difficult to deal with.”Huh? Noel turned to face Thomas, his expressions showing displeasure.It was considered taboo to claim that a doctor did not know how to save a patient’s life right in front of the doctor.“My prescriptions are very mild, and they’ve been adjusted to Mrs. Martin’s preferences. Do you have a problem with it? I’m also Mrs. Martin's personal doctor, and I’m quite familiar
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
