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
Police? What were they here for?Jessica was stunned.Thomas said calmly, “Jessica, you blackmailed Animal Forest with other collaborators. Do you think you can really leave just like this?”Only then did Jessica realize.Thomas was not planning to deal with her personally. He had called the police to arrest her!She pointed at Thomas and said with contempt. “You actually called the police? Can you not be such a coward? You should keep this between ourselves. Doing this is cowardly behavior!”“Really?” Thomas said, “But when did I say that I’m not a coward?”“You!”Jessica was completely speechless.Soon, a large group of police officers came over, and one of them said to Jessica, “We received a report from the public. You are suspected of extortion. Please come with us.”At this point, Jessica could not run away even if she wanted to.So, she and her old accomplices were arrested by the police, and none of them ran away.Seeing Jessica being arrested, Georgia laughed and s
In the middle of the night, Thomas returned to Sterling Technology. Diana came to his office with the dog, Flame. As soon as she walked in, she said with joy, “Mr. Mayo, congratulations!”Thomas took off his heavy coat. “Why did you congratulate me?”“Hey, you’re still pretending. I know even if you didn’t tell me. Lyla from the Diaz family has given you full authority to take care of the ‘Asura Hell’. From now on, you’ll make five to six billion dollars every month. This is something to be celebrated about, right?”Thomas smiled and said nothing.Diana put Flame on the couch and combed its hair. She said, “The profit of Animal Forest is quite high, and its service is good as well. I always let them take care of Flame. This time you manage to get close to Lyla. It’ll be of great benefit to the future development of our company.”Thomas said calmly, “Don’t talk about the benefits first. Is there anything to eat? I haven’t eaten dinner yet, so I’m so hungry.”“Huh? It’s already so
“The Martin family is capable.“In a short period of time, they have continuously made excellent shows.“Vera in particular. Now, there is more discussion on the Internet than all the contestants in our last episode of the show combined. It’s not easy.”Nicholas looked at Vera on the screen and said, “Dominic, do you know why she always covers her face with white organza?”Dominic laughed. “It’s just a small trick used by the production team. Many shows are like this now. The more you don’t let the viewers see the faces of the players, the more it piques their curiosity. So, it will increase the discussion and ratings.”“Just that?” Nicholas stroked his beard and said, “Dominic, think of a way to take off this woman’s hat and photograph her face.”Dominic’s eyes lit up immediately.“Grandpa, what a great idea!“This way, the sense of mystery will disappear immediately, and the discussion will immediately cool down.“I wonder how the Martin family is going to try this.”Nichol
Vera’s face had been seen by most of the people at the scene, and the reporters had also taken videos and photos. It was too late to remember to cover her face with her hands.Among those who came to cheer today, many of them came here because of Vera. Now that they saw her “ugly appearance”, they immediately felt a sense of being deceived.“Darn it, why be an artist if you’re so ugly?”“I’m really speechless. I even gave her a lot of money. It hurts to think about it.”“So disgusting! I was still fantasizing about her being a beautiful woman, but she turned out to be an ugly person. It’s gone. It’s all gone. My dream lover is gone.”“Liar. You’re a liar!”Those customers all stood up and shouted insults at Vera.The word “liar” came out from the audience’s mouth constantly, and the reporters kept pressing the shutter button to record the chaotic scene at the scene.It was definitely big news.Only scolding would be considered polite. Some people even picked up the tableware o
“Everyone, let’s boycott ‘Good Voice in the Summer’ and the Martin family together. I have to say that in this area, the Gomez family is better.”“Sigh, the goddess in my heart is destroyed in less than a day. I’ll never trust those fake stars on TV in the future anymore. Who knows what they look like? It’s all marketing.”There were a lot of complaints on the Internet, and it was a difficult situation in reality as well.Vera became the target of both the media and the viewers to criticize. She was completely ruined.Ring. Ring. Ring…Thomas received a call from Dylan.“Hello?” Thomas answered the phone.“Thomas, what the hell are you doing? Why is Vera’s true face revealed, and why is it still being reported on the front pages of major media? It’s over. Our show is completely over!”Thomas was speechless.This time, they had been really caught off guard.In fact, to be precise, Thomas did not know what the real face under the veil looked like because he respected Vera, so h
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
