Although he was already in his fifties, he was still very strong and healthy, and his assassination and battle skills were all top-notch. Otherwise, how would he be able to compel all of Corps D’elite’s aces to submit to him?Ordinary people were not Terrell’s match at all. He approached Thomas with a smirk, and thought to himself, ‘Thomas, oh Thomas, you think you can defeat me just because you’re young? You’re really too arrogant for your own good. You’ll pay the consequences for your arrogance today! Go to hell!’Terrell took a big stride and charged forward. At the same time, he secretly pulled out a dagger and aimed it towards Thomas's heart.Fast and accurate. Normal people could not even react in time to this speed, let alone avoid it. Since that dagger was also extremely sharp, it would be lethal if it struck the heart.Terrell’s lips curled upwards. “Go to hell, Thomas!”As soon as he said that, Thomas’s large hand slapped aside Terrell’s wrist, which was holding
The word of Terrell and Dexter's capture circulated rapidly, and the news of Corp D'elites’ downfall traveled even faster.The news spread through the whole of Central City like wildfire. Those sponsors who had previously been terrified of Heath Corporation had finally breathed a sigh of relief. They did not have to worry about being assassinated by Corps D'elite anymore.At the same time, Thomas became the first person to continue to live a stable life despite being on Terrell’s enemy list.Everyone's confidence in Thomas had grown as well.As a result, everyone’s enthusiasm for sponsoring ‘Boy’s Factors’ had surged. The show was already a huge topic, but sponsors had been hesitant to participate only because of the presence of Corps D’elite.However, the sponsors gained confidence after learning that Thomas was still alive and had even wiped out Corps D'elite.So, they received large amounts of money. Samantha had gotten an overwhelming number of calls from sponsors during
Kerry said, "There is no need to repeatedly tell me about the feud between us and Thomas so many times, right? Everything that happened, from Master Centipede's grudge, Weiss's hatred, to the oppression that Pivot Technology suffers. They are all the work of the same person—Thomas!"Today, our purpose is simple: kill him and take over all his assets!"‘It was easy to say, but could he actually accomplish it?’Everyone was muttering to themselves.Kerry continued, "I know you all have no confidence, but I want you all to know that Thomas is a man, not a god. Thomas would undoubtedly die if the plan was executed correctly." "Today, I will let you all know what is called 'God's reckoning'!"Following that, Kerry revealed the plan he had devised during these days. He had meticulously plotted every detail of the stratagem.The more the crowd listened to the plan, the more terrified they became.Especially Laura, who at first thought that Kerry's desire to deal with Thomas was simpl
Laura froze for a long time, looking at Master Centipede’s picture on the ground.After a long time, she slowly bent down and picked up the picture from the ground and placed it back in its place.“Godfather, thank you for guiding me.”“I know what to do now.”She then took out her cell phone and dialed up Daisy, a wealthy young lady from the Martin family."Daisy, are you available right now? I would like to speak with you."“Sure, I'm bored to death these days."After some courteous talk, Laura hung up the phone, looked out the window, and said to herself, "I hope I'm doing the right thing."At Sterling Technology.Thomas returned to the company and was embraced by the crowd as soon as he walked through the door."Director Mayo is so powerful that he took out Corps D’elite in one fell swoop. Legit!""In the future, Sterling Technology will get its way in Central City."Thomas smiled and allowed the crowd to disperse. Just as he was just about to walk inside, Diana ran ove
When Thomas looked up, he saw Laura standing there, gazing at him coldly.Thomas could see what was going on as he looked at Daisy and then Laura. Daisy appeared to have invited him to dinner, but Laura actually wanted to meet with him. Because meeting him was inconvenient, she had devised this plan to meet him.Daisy whispered, "Please accept my apologies, Mr. Mayo. I was the one who deceived you. Sister Laura said you were in danger of dying, so I had to call you over no matter what. She has a very important message for you!"‘My life is in danger?’‘So dramatic?’Thomas nodded, "Then let’s hear exactly how my life is in danger."He walked straight upstairs and went inside a room with Laura, while Daisy closed the door and allowed two of them to talk.On the second floor of the house.Thomas asked, "Don't you hate my guts? Why are you being so thoughtful as to warn me about the danger?"Laura said with a cold face, "I don't know if this is the right course of action. Thomas,
Thomas was very surprised and did not expect that Laura would actually say these words.He asked, "You're asking me to play along with him, and does that mean I have to go against Kerry? Don't you believe he's the killer? Wouldn't it be contradictory to do that?"Laura bit her lip softly.It was very contradictory.But it had to be done!From the evidence available so far, it could almost be confirmed that Kerry killed Master Centipede.Laura had to put Kerry in a hopeless situation and push him to tell the truth. Based on his character and ability, Kerry would never reveal a single word to Laura if she was just simply questioning him.It must be ruthless and absolute!She looked at Thomas and said, "I'm just going to use this opportunity to drive Kerry into a corner because I want to know what the truth of the matter is like from his mouth."Thomas nodded, "Good, since you have thought about it, then I might as well help you this time. It's also a way of repaying you for your
In an instant, things turned awkward in the room. For some reason, Laura blushed as she looked at Daisy. Never did it ever cross her mind that the little girl would have dared to utter such an “unfair” remark.Daisy found it awkward as well. She did not think it through before saying those things.The two women pushed Thomas to the other side.However...What they actually wanted was Thomas to be pushed to them.Women never said or acted according to what they really thought. Most of the time, what they said was entirely different from what they thought.The one who was the most embarrassed was Thomas.He had ended up as the bargaining chip between the two women’s quarrel.He coughed and said, “Uh... I still have some work to finish back at my company. I will head back first.”As he finished his sentence, Laura and Daisy became anxious and spoke in unison, “Why are you in such a rush? Have a meal before you go.”As the two women spoke simultaneously, they took a look at eac
Thomas only had the time for a short nap before Samantha rushed to Sterling Technology. They met in his office.Samantha did not delay it any further. As soon as she entered his office, she said, “I have some good news for you, Mr. Mayo!”In this short period, all sorts of nonsense happened to Thomas. It had truly been a while since he had something worth celebrating for.Thomas asked, “What good news have made you rush over this early in the morning?”Samantha took out a report and passed it to Thomas.“This is the investment dividend of the advertisement ‘Running Man’. As per our agreement, I am here to give you your share.“Is this something worth celebrating?”Of course, it was!There was no better news than getting money first thing in the morning.Moreover, Thomas was in dire need of money.He took a look at the financial report. The current dividend was — one billion dollars!That was an astronomical figure.Thomas smiled and said, “All it took was a few days to gain
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
