“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,
The lyrics were beautiful, the song was melodious, and Vera’s angelic voice was excellent.People in the room could not help but clap.After the song, everyone shouted, “Pass! Pass! Pass!”However, Gemma just lowered her head slightly, and her gaze was filled with some hesitation.Vera instantly became nervous.So, how was it?A while later, Gemma answered, “Vera, your song and lyrics are excellent, and your tone is beautiful. But, there are too many flaws in your singing technique. You haven’t received any professional training, have you?”She instantly knew the problem.Vera nodded. “I’m self-taught. I don’t understand a lot of things, and I’ve just been figuring it out on my own.”Gemma chuckled. “That’s right. There is room for discussion in the way you handle many parts. You even sound very stiff.”When she said that, it basically meant Vera was done.Vera was a little disappointed.“But…” Gemma said, “Our show needs a good voice, not good techniques. If you don’t have
The next day, Thomas prepared the medicine chest, and the Diaz family's car was driven to Sterling Technology to pick him up.Besides, Georgia even came to welcome him personally.Thomas got into the car, and he was sent to the Diaz family’s old house in the vehicle that they had arranged.On the way, Georgia’s expression looked a little serious, which was totally different from her usual self who talked and laughed a lot. Everyone could tell that she had something on her mind.But, Thomas did not ask her about it.If she could talk about it, Georgia would have already told Thomas; if she could not talk about it, she would not speak even if Thomas asked her.Thomas just went with the flow.Nevertheless, on the way, Georgia still could not help but say, “Mr. Mayo, we’re going to the old house this time to meet my sister-in-law, Lyla Duncan. Her son is sick, and they haven’t found a cure for him. I purposely recommended you to her. Mr. Mayo, if you can cure my sister-in-law’s son,
She directly sat in a chair with her legs crossed. She caressed the ragdoll in her arms while she lowered her head and said, “Thomas, you’re really a smart person! You’ve fooled my sister-in-law.”The atmosphere instantly became tense.Thomas looked confused. When did he fool Georgia?Lyla continued to say, “You have a grudge against the Gomez family, but you can't handle them. So, you’re riding on our coattails by flattering my sister-in-law. You even put two products in our V Series! You have support, and you’ve also earned some money.“Thomas, you really know what cards to play.”Um… Thomas did not know how to refute her.Subjectively speaking, he actually never flattered Georgia. But, based on the outcome, it was hard to say that he did not collaborate with the Diaz family to deal with the Gomez family.Georgia defended Thomas. “Lyla, I’ve told you many times that it was my decision to add Beauty Cream and Water Beauty into the V Series. It has nothing to do with Mr. Mayo.
Georgia actually knew how troubled Thomas was. It sounded like they were bullies when they asked a medical expert to treat a dog.Yet, Lyla was capricious and overbearing. If Thomas did not cure the dog, he would have more problems.He felt very helpless.Thomas walked over. Before he got closer, the Chihuahua kept growling at him.However, because it had not eaten for a few days, the Chihuahua was extremely weak, and it did not have the strength to bark.Thomas stopped walking and carefully observed the Chihuahua.Observing, listening, asking, and taking the patient’s pulse rate were not merely useful for humans, but they were also useful steps for animals.Thomas examined the Chihuahua meticulously, but he could not identify any medical condition.“This is weird.”He frowned and found it hard to understand. Did he not understand animals well enough hence he could not determine the dog’s medical condition?At this time, Lyla said, “You can’t tell the medical condition, can y
“Georgia, what do you mean? Do you think my son should die in vain?”“No, I didn’t mean that.”Lyla scoffed. “Georgia, I think you better learn to be smarter. Don’t keep getting fooled by people. Thomas Mayo, you may fool my sister-in-law with this trick, but you want to deceive me as well? No way! Let me tell you, from today onward, both of your products will be removed from the V Series. Not only that, but I’ll cooperate with the Gomez family to deal with you. Just wait for your demise. Get out now.”Things turned out terribly.Georgia felt agitated and angry.It should be known that the best-selling products in the V Series were Beauty Cream and Water Beauty. If they suddenly removed the two best-selling products, their sales would go down, and it would also affect the Diaz family’s reputation.More importantly, she had a pretty good relationship with Thomas. How could she possibly cooperate with the Gomez family to deal with Thomas?Before Georgia could explain for Thomas, L
At this time, Lyla was squatting on the ground, and she had become so worked up that her head was full of sweat. Dr. Newman was even surrounded by a few security guards, so he could not run away.If the Chihuahua died just like that, Dr. Newman would not meet a good end.Lyla pointed at Robin. “You’re such a lousy doctor! Look at what you’ve done! If anything happens to my son, I want you to pay with your life!”Her words were too serious.How could a dog’s life compare to a human’s life?Yet, nobody doubted what Lyla said. Based on her character, they believed that she would do such heartless things.Robin instantly knelt. “Mrs. Diaz, I really don’t know why this would happen. I didn’t do it on purpose. Please don’t kill me. I don’t want to die!”“Trash!”Lyla raised her hand and gave Robin a slap, which left a red palm print on his face.Robin did not get angry. Instead, he even showed her the other side of his face. “Mrs. Diaz, you slapped me well. Please slap my other chee
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
