In less than twenty seconds, all his subordinates were lying down after being beaten up.Aries walked to Sabertooth Tiger and stared at him coldly. It made Sabertooth Tiger so frightened that his body trembled.“You… You better not be reckless.”Sabertooth Tiger still wanted to scare Aries. “I think you still don’t realize who I am, right? I’m Sabertooth Tiger! I’m working for the Gomez family. Dominic Gomez, the Gomez family’s young master, is my buddy!”Dominic Gomez?It would have been fine if he had not mentioned Dominic. The moment he mentioned Dominic, Aries became furious.He glared at Sabertooth Tiger and said, “Are you really Dominic Gomez’s subordinate?”When Sabertooth Tiger heard the question, he instantly became confident. He thought that he could frighten Aries with Dominic’s name, so he stood up and smoothed out his clothes as he smiled and said, “Are you scared now?”“Scared?”Aries picked up a bottle of beer from the table and promptly smashed it onto Sabert
In the Gomez family’s villa...Dominic anxiously ran into the living room before he spoke to Nicholas, who was gardening. “Grandpa, we have another problem.”Nicholas asked without turning back, “Why? Has Thomas troubled us again?”“It’s not Thomas, it’s the Martin family.”“The Martin family?”“Yeah. Dylan and Samantha are producing a singing variety show, and they are already carrying out auditions to select the candidates!”“Oh?” Nicholas put down a pair of scissors and wiped his hands. “Our show, ‘I Am the Best Singer’ has run for three seasons, right? It’s at its peak now. Why are they suddenly broadcasting such a similar show? Do they want to pull our audience away?”“They must be!” Dominic speculated. “Those jerks from the Martin family saw our variety show becoming famous, so they’re just copying us. They have such low standards! They keep invading the Gomez family’s territory. If this continues, the Gomez family’s achievements will be greatly affected!”Cultural Arts E
“Ms. Jacquin, please get into the car.”Aries was a gentleman as he invited Vera into his car and personally sent her to the audition site. Today, Thomas purposefully drove another car to the location because he did not want to be a third wheel. He just wanted to create some time for them to be alone.Unfortunately, Aries was not as talkative as he usually was. He did not say much to Vera on the way.When he almost reached the site, the road in front was suddenly obstructed by some people with a roadblock, and cars could not pass through normally.That road was the only way to the audition site, and they could not use another route.Aries stopped the car and realized that aside from him, many people had also been stopped from moving forward. Some people were furious, while some had tight frowns.“What’s going on? Is there road construction ahead?” Aries asked a man beside him.“It’s not freaking road construction! Some people are blocking the road. They’re not allowing us to pas
The subordinate ran to the tent, opened it, and spoke to Sabertooth Tiger, who was lying inside and sleeping. “Boss, someone rushed past the barrier!”“If he rushes inside, just beat him up. Except for the police, just beat anyone who comes! Do you still need me to teach you that?” Sabertooth Tiger said impatiently.“No, this isn't easy to deal with.”“Why? Are there many people?”“There’s just one person.”Sabertooth Tiger was livid. “If there’s just a person, why isn’t it easy to deal with? Let me tell you, even if the head of the Martin family comes, you should still give him a good beating! If anything happens, Mr. Gomez will hold the responsibility.”His subordinate looked bitter.Beat him up? It would already be fine if he was not beaten to death by that man.He said, “Boss, the lad’s really not easy to deal with.”Sabertooth Tiger got up impatiently, glared at him, and said, “When did you become so timid? Just tell him we’re people from the Gomez family!”“He knows! He
“The Gomez family is really despicable. They’re actually using such a method to threaten others,” Aries said angrily.Thomas said, “The Gomez family has been in the industry for so long, after all, so they won’t be easily defeated. Luckily, our variety show is more down-to-earth. We need more common people as candidates instead of those who’ve received professional training. So, the Gomez family’s threat actually has limited harm to us. Alright, we’ll bring Vera for her audition now.”The registration place was just nearby. Everyone was queuing up and waiting. They entered the studio for the selection one by one. Candidates who were more capable would get a “Pass” sign.Everyone there was very excited.Whether it was for their music dream or for fame and wealth, they had to pass the audition no matter what.As Thomas, Aries, and Vera got ready to hurry to the registration area, a young man in a cap suddenly walked over. He held a ticket and said, “Do you want a ticket?”Um… “Th
The latter part of what she said was not a comment on the performance. It had been upgraded to an insult on Vera’s character!Vera was so angry that her body shook, but how could she refute the four of them alone? On top of that, she was a sophisticated lady. She was no match for the four mentors, who kept cursing, at all. “You!”Vera was so angry that she turned around and left. She did not want to stay in the studio any longer.The female mentor even sarcastically shouted, “Get out of here quicker. Don’t affect the latter candidates who are coming up the stage, you freaking trash!”Vera cared about her dignity very much. After she was insulted, she went backstage and threw the microphone aside. Then, she just left without saying anything.Aries immediately approached her.“Ms. Jacquin, please don’t get angry.”“Don’t get angry? How can I not get angry? Are these people good enough to be called ‘mentors’? If I had known that this would happen, I wouldn’t have come and partic
“I spent a huge amount of money to invite them to select the candidates for me, but they actually colluded with the scalpers to set me up.“We’ve already been attacked by the Gomez family so much that not many outstanding candidates are willing to come over, yet they’re still doing this. In the end, all the candidates are incapable. What’s the point of watching the show?“They are getting on my nerves!”Samantha directly walked onto the stage. She grabbed the microphone from the candidate before she furiously scolded the mentors below the stage. “You’re really jerks. Who gave you the power to sell tickets and select candidates here?”The mentors were stunned at first. They thought who would be so ignorant to mess around there, and they prepared to reprimand her. But when they looked at the person standing on the stage, was it not Samantha who had hired them for the audition?In an instant, all four of them were terrified.They did not expect Samantha to suddenly show up there. Th
Actually, that request was too much.It should be known that Gemma was a very famous singer, and normal people could not invite her.Vera was incredibly prideful, and the only person she admired was Gemma.Since Gemma’s artistic standard, character, and moral standard were the best, which was also what Vera admired the most, only a person like her could be Vera’s mentor.But, could anyone invite Gemma?Vera had already said it, and it was impossible for her to take it back based on her prideful personality.So, in everyone’s opinion, Vera was definitely not going to stay today.However, unexpectedly, Thomas did not feel troubled. Instead, he nonchalantly said, “That request is too easy. I already called Gemma and asked her to come over to personally mentor you.”“What?” Vera wondered if there was anything wrong with her ears, and she asked, “You’re not kidding? You called Gemma? Do you have her number?”Other passersby also chuckled.Call Gemma? He could fool kids with that,
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
