At first, it barked all day, but then, it stopped eating.“It’s no wonder so many veterinarians don’t know what the problem is. Turns out, it was never sick in the first place. It was just throwing a tantrum.”Lyla walked over to hug the Chihuahua. She stroked its little head and said, “Baby, why are you throwing a tantrum? I still love you.”Thomas said, “It’s easy to make it eat. You just have to pretend to stay away from the Ragdoll and then treat it better. After some time, it will eat.”After that, Lyla did what Thomas said. It was just like what Thomas said, the Chihuahua began to eat after some time.After eating, they could obviously tell that the Chihuahua’s spirit had recovered, and it kept following Lyla.Lyla was very happy.Naturally, her mood got better as she learned that her “son” was okay. She rolled her eyes at Robin and said, “You can leave now, you useless veterinarian. This time, you are lucky. If it weren’t for Thomas, I would have killed you.”“Thank you,
After eating, Thomas got into Georgia’s car and headed toward the “Animal Forest”.On the way, Georgia gave a detailed introduction to Thomas.Besides the general goods such as cosmetics, skincare products, clothing, and jewelry that targeted female consumers, there was another special way of profiting in the Diaz family, which was pets.Cats, dogs, tortoises, and all kinds of birds, etc. The Gomez family had studied these very well and formed a pet association named “Animal Forest”.A series of services such as pet boarding, selling, treating, and grooming were all provided here.As long as their pets had any problems, they could get the most comprehensive and professional care after coming here.One must know that most women had pets.The elderly would not feel lonely after keeping pets; the young people’s families would grow livelier after keeping pets; the children’s personalities would grow more cheerful after keeping pets. In short, almost every household had pets.Beside
Regarding this matter, Dominic already had preliminary plans.He said, “Grandpa, don’t worry. I have already figured out how to deal with the Diaz family. I’ll ruin the Diaz family’s Animal Forest. When our Animal Paradise opens successfully after that, we can take over their customers.”He was going to use smear tactics again.The Gomez family liked resorting to such dirty tricks the most.Nicholas thought for a while and said, “It’s not impossible for you to smear the Diaz family’s reputation, but the Diaz family’s public relations skills are good. Dominic, you have to make a solid plan.”Dominic was happy. “Grandpa, don’t worry. I’ll leave it to Jessica Flynn to do this. That woman is vicious.”Jessica Flynn?Nicholas said, “Is it the woman who destroyed the seven e-commerce brands with her own effort?”“Exactly!”“Okay, it’s not impossible for this woman to mess up the Diaz family’s Animal Forest.”The grandfather and grandson drank a few more cups of tea. Then, Dominic g
Lyla did not choose to take the company’s private car but chose to directly walk through the special passage. She led Thomas through the crowd, just to let Thomas take a look at the lively scene of the Animal Forest.She went through with it.Thomas liked it very much.He saw a tortoise lying lazily on a tree stump and basking in the sun; he saw a puppy playing on the grass with its owner; he saw a smart parrot learning to talk; he saw a mini pig eating nonstop.Thomas’s mood became better, as if he had entered the embrace of nature.Lyla said, “Mr. Mayo, what do you think about this place?”“Very nice. It’s a lovely place.”“Really?” Lyla said with a smile, “Mr. Mayo, you have to be mentally prepared then. The place I’ll take you to next is not so lovely.”Hearing this, Georgia was the first to change her expression, looking a little scared.She said, “Um… Lyla, I think I’ll just stay here. I don’t need to go to that place, right?”Lyla said, “How can you not go? The purpose
Thomas was also very surprised. These snakes and insects could make five or six billion dollars every year?Thomas thought that it was insane when he ran the numbers through his head.It seemed that there were too many things that could make money in this world. Even Thomas had not seen everything.But this only embarrassed Thomas.In fact, he did not do anything. He just treated a dog. To be precise, it was a dog that had not even gotten sick. But Lyla gave him five or six billion dollars every year.Was it not a bit too exaggerated?Lyla said, “Don’t be embarrassed, Mr. Mayo. You saved my precious son. To be honest, I’ve long wanted to get rid of this place, but I can’t find a suitable candidate. Mr. Mayo, seeing you today makes me think you are a very suitable candidate.“This Asura Hell will be yours from now on.”At this point, there was no need to reject.Thomas shook hands with Lyla, “Thank you.”The God of War had been matched with the Asura Hell. The point was that t
Lyla walked over and took a look around. First of all, it was certain that these pets did indeed appear to be more or less ill.If it was confirmed that the follow-up service of Animal Forest was bad and had caused this, then this matter would be a little difficult to handle.So, Lyla said, “Jessica, are you sure that the Animal Forest caused these pets to be ill?”It was fine if she did not say it. Once she mentioned it, all those pet owners grew anxious.“What do you mean by this? Do you mean that we’re scamming you?”“My baby has always been in good health and has a good appetite. I boarded it here for a week, and it stopped eating after coming back home with me!”“My baby as well. Everyone, look at it. There are many scars on its body. God knows what kind of abuse it has suffered.”The people here came from different parts of the world, and they all had different personalities.But they had one thing in common. They all cherished their pets very much, and they even treated
They did not know if he was trying to smear Animal Forest’s reputation or blackmail them for money. In short, he was the one who caused it!After being exposed, the pet owner could not remain calm.He could not argue.But Jessica did not plan to back down at all. She signaled the person beside her, and another pet owner immediately walked out with his puppy.He angrily said, “What do you mean? Are you saying that we deliberately harm our pets just to blackmail you guys for money? How could you guys be so shameless?”Lyla sneered and said, “Now the evidence proves that you did that!”“Bah!” The pet owner pointed to his puppy and said, “Then explain to me why there are so many scars on my puppy? It used to be in good condition. However, after it got the ‘beauty’ treatment here, it has new scars!”Lyla could not answer that.Thomas walked over slowly. He extended his hand and stroked the dog, lifting the hair on its body. Then, he looked at the severe scars.It had bruises all ov
With that being said, it just pointed out the other party’s purpose. There was nothing more to say, and everything had been exposed.Those who were dazzled by anger before felt their minds getting clearer.Jessica was quite embarrassed.To be honest, ever since her “debut”, she had never encountered an opponent like Thomas, who was this difficult to deal with.Every time she wanted to discredit or blackmail a business, she would do her homework in advance and work out a very suitable “tactic”.That was why she could succeed every time.This time too.It was just that everything was fake, after all. Even though she was fully prepared, she still failed to deceive Thomas.Thomas looked at the pet owners, who were still planning to cause trouble, and said, “You guys said that there is a problem with the service system of the Animal Forest, which has harmed your pets. Okay, what harm have your pets suffered? Come forward and talk about it.”No one dared to say anymore.Even the fi
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
