Delbert introduced and explained every single detail in regards to Allon Technology before he made a market valuation that was worth five billion dollars.He then brought the contract for Thomas to review.Every single clause was written crystal clear. It seemed like Delbert was absolutely sincere in this. If anyone else were to take a look at the contract, they would most likely be moved by Delbert’s sincerity.Even after Thomas took everything into account, he did not find anything wrong with the contract. He then said, “Mr. Kratos, you are indeed a reliable partner. Rest assured as you will still be in charge of Allon Technology after the takeover.”Delbert was moved by Thomas and said, “Thank you so much, Mr. Mayo.”Next on the schedule was the official signage of the contract.According to the law and regulations, it was required for Thomas to pay a deposit of one-fifth of the market value (which was one billion dollars) before the procedures could be processed. The remainde
It would be much easier to do this with money.Those people used the $3,000,000,000 that Kerry had given to purchase the stocks in a frenzy over the next few days.In just three days, the market value of Allon Technology’s stocks, which were initially worth $5,000,000,000, increased to $8,000,000,000! The speed of increase was truly too fast!Most importantly, while it looked like they had spent money to do this, in truth, they had not spent a single cent!After all, Delbert was just a nominee shareholder. The real boss was Kerry.So, they bought a lot of Allon Technology’s stocks. The money did not go to Delbert’s pocket, but they went back to Kerry’s pockets again!Kerry just circulated the money, and each time he did, Allon Technology’s market value would increase.Then, he would distribute the money and repeat the same trick again before he let his subordinates buy the stocks again.When it was done repeatedly, even though only $3,000,000,000 was actually circulated, they c
In Pivot Technology’s meeting room, Kerry raised a champagne bottle and said to everyone, “Four more days and Thomas will be done! Cheers!”Pop! He opened the champagne, and a lot of champagne flowed out.Everyone grinned. All of them were extremely happy.Kerry said, “Thank you for your help this time so that we could back Thomas into a corner. Please rest assured. As long as we get rid of Thomas, I’ll give each of you a great amount of money, especially Delbert. The position of vice-chairman in the company will belong to you!”Delbert raised the wine glass and said, “Mr. Lawrence, thank you for your kindness. I actually just did what I should do. It’s all because of your perfect plans that we can have such a good result today, Mr. Lawrence.”Everyone cheered, and they happily drank the wine.A while later, Laura came to the meeting room, and someone immediately handed a glass of wine to her.Laura said, “Kerry, you’re really amazing. Thomas Mayo is so arrogant, but he nearly f
At the same time, in the villa of the Martin family, Dylan, the eldest son of the Martin family paced back and forth in the living room with his hands behind his back. He looked happy for a while before he looked gloomy again. His emotions were very unstable.His wife, Samantha, could not bear the sight anymore and scolded him. “Why are you pacing back and forth? You’re making me dizzy. Also, are you smiling or crying? Your expressions keep changing. Why? Have you been practicing changing your expressions recently?”Dylan pouted. He walked over and said, “I’m thinking about Thomas!”Samantha rolled her eyes at him. “What are you thinking about?”Dylan said, “Anyone can tell that Thomas is going to be screwed this time. He thought he had gained a huge advantage, but who knew that he would be played like a fool. He initially thought that buying Alon Technology would be a good thing, but he was tricked by Kerry. Now, he’s in a dilemma.“On one hand, I’m pretty happy. Thomas used to g
Diana paced back and forth in front of the office. She had pressed the doorbell a few times, but nobody answered her. She wanted to open the door and forcefully rush inside, but she was unable to do so. She realized that it was locked from the inside.Aries would only open the door and deliver food inside when it was time to eat. During other times, Thomas would refuse to see anyone at all.It showed how huge of a blow this incident had delivered to Thomas.Diana was very worried about Thomas’ physical and mental health. If this situation continued, would anything happen to him?She heard that many bosses of the big companies also could not hold themselves back and chose to commit suicide when they were dealing with bankruptcy.Would Thomas also jump down from the window of the building?The more Diana thought, the more scared she became. If she knew that this was the ending, she would not have let Delbert come in on that day! The more she thought about it, the more she blamed he
What differed slightly from everyone's expectation was that Thomas did not look as dispirited as they thought he would; like someone with a fully grown beard and a long face, as well as someone who did not wash his face for a long time.Conversely, Thomas appeared quite clean and very neat.He looked a little low-spirited, but that was not strange. When he encountered such a thing, it was already terrific that he could still bear the pressure without committing suicide.While being accompanied by Aries, Thomas took the elevator and came to the lobby on the first floor before he walked outside.Diana stared at Thomas anxiously, and she felt extremely gloomy.Although she knew it was impossible to be with Thomas, she still enjoyed her time working as Thomas’ secretary. As long as she could accompany Thomas every day, she would feel very happy.But, why could God not satisfy her little request?“Mr. Mayo!”Diana shouted, and she could not stop crying.The eyes of those staff memb
At 10.00 am, a big group of people sat in the meeting room in Alon Technology.All the executives of Alon Technology had arrived. All of them looked at Thomas strangely, and their gazes were filled with sarcasm and mockery, as though they were looking at a clown.Delbert, the chairman, did not even act like a good person as he did previously. He just sat at the end of the table.He crossed his legs and held a cigarette with his mouth. He looked so nonchalant, which was totally different from his pitiful and grieving image. It was like he had totally changed into another person.Since the thing had progressed to this point, there was really no need to still hide it.Delbert breathed out some smoke. He looked at Thomas across the table, chuckled, and said, “Mr. Mayo, why did you bring only one person over today? Besides, this is also not the staff from the Finance Department in your company, right?”Thomas remained silent.Delbert continued to say, “Alon Technology’s market value
“You’re too soft-hearted and arrogant.“Having a soft heart would make you bear a lot of responsibility and danger that you should not hold. Arrogance blinds your eyes, and you won’t see the truth.”Kerry coughed again before he slowly said, “But, I have to show you a thumbs-up because you’re the first and only person who actually managed to force me to this point. You’re incredible enough.“Nobody has ever been able to make me deal with them so seriously. Thomas, you were able to force me to use all my power to deal with you, so you should feel proud. You didn’t lose in vain.“You should know that there are always better people than you. Thomas, I’m the person who is better than a smart person like you. Why should you exist when I’m here? My existence is your sadness.”The room became silent.Everyone looked at Thomas with a mocking gaze, and they looked at the brilliant person who used to be insufferable arrogance.The fact proved that there was no winner forever.As long as
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
