“Are you trying to fool me, Mr. Hartley?“Bruce would never admit to any of this.”Aden chuckled coldly and gave a signal to the person standing next to him. Immediately, a police officer appeared, carrying Bruce’s confession papers. He approached Issac and showed it to him. “Take a good look, Issac. These are all the evidence that Bruce had confessed!“And you’re still trying to deny it?!”Issac went over each sentence written in ink on paper one by one. Cold sweat dripped from his forehead. Both his hands could not stop shaking.Never in his wildest dreams did he expect that stubborn Bruce would actually plead guilty and betray him. How was that possible? Issac panicked. He was really starting to panic. “Are you going to confess yourself, or do you want us to help you do it, Issac? You will be facing some serious charges if we have to end up helping you!” Aden said. It was pointless to continue resisting at this point.Issac let out a heavy sigh and responded, “Okay,
The Diaz family’s old house had welcomed its masters once again. Georgia and Lyla were both back in the house. They trusted and relied on one other even more than ever after going through a series of tough lessons.In the Diaz family’s house. Georgia pulled out a letter from her pocket and said, “Lyla, after going through this incident, there shouldn’t be any barriers between me and you. There’s a letter here, and I think I should clarify the contents to you.”Lyla chuckled and took out a letter as well. “I think the content of the letters we received are the same.”They looked at each other and smiled. Yes, the contents in the letters were the exact same. Both of these letters had been written by Nicholas, and his purpose was to persuade Georgia and Lyla to eliminate each other in order to gain control of the Diaz family’s authority and become the family’s true leader.What Nicholas wanted was for Georgia or Lyla to become the next Issac. But unfortunately, his hopes ha
Thomas arrived at the Urban Diaz Group headquarters building together with Georgia and Lyla.This was once Issac Diaz's place, but it was now owned by Thomas.The three of them went to the top floor together.Georgia said, "Director Mayo, from today, you will officially become a part of the 'Diaz family' and take over all of Issac's responsibilities. Allow me to explain some things to you in order to give you a general idea.“Director Mayo, do you know what Issac's business is about?"Thomas shook his head slightly.Georgia said, "The Diaz family is focused on the 'women's business,' which entails profiting from women from my V Series, luxury goods, cosmetics, skincare products, designer bags, and so on. The Monteverde Animal Forest offers a whole range of pet-related services."These are the two main categories that have made a lot of money from women.“The most profitable, however, is not yet in any of these two categories. ‘Prosperous Star Pavilion’, which was once controlle
Thomas reaped a lot of rewards in the Diaz family, proving that he made the right decision in rescuing Lyla this time.His decision not only healed the old rifts but also solidified his bond with the Diaz family.It was just like killing two birds with one stone.After leaving the Diaz family in his car, Thomas headed straight to the History Center.A fan meeting would be held here tonight.Many of the contestants on ‘Good Voice of the Summer’ have risen to stardom as a result of the show's popularity. Their statuses had been greatly enhanced, their popularity had skyrocketed, and they were now adored by a large number of fans.In order to reward the fans and expand the influence of ‘Good Voice of the Summer’, Dylan eventually decided to hold a fan meeting.Vera was one of the most eagerly awaited stars of the show!Soon, Thomas arrived at the History Centre, and he took the VIP exclusive channel directly to the front row seat.Those who were able to sit in the front row were
In Thomas's eyes, Aries has always been very confident and optimistic. What he did not expect was that Aries would underestimate his own worth when it came to love.Other than that, where would the present Vera be if there was no Aries?Aries was the one who discovered Vera, found a solution to erase the scar, and was the one who never left, ensuring that Vera's heart was always protected.Thomas could see that Vera was actually waiting for the Aries.But does not know if her wait will have an ending or not.The fan meeting finally began.The stage dimmed, followed by sparks flying into the sky. Several vocalists appeared through the elevated stage in all four directions, singing the opening song together.The songs and dances were so lively!After the opening song was over, the host came on stage and spoke a bunch more before the second song began.Song after song played, one singer after another took the stage, and each one's appearance elicited a frenzy from the entire thro
Aries's eyes were fixed on Wilhelm. His fists were clenched as he felt some reluctance in his heart.Another man was now confessing to his most beloved girl. Many people were believed to have been through this feeling before, and it must have been rather unpleasant at the time.Thomas slightly turned his head to look at Aries, "If you do not dare to do so, someone else will. Vera will be taken away by other men if you do not step out and assert yourself, and you will lose the woman you love most in your life. Are you willing to accept this happening?"Each and every word was vividly sent to Aries' ear.His heart was entangled.He would always believe he was not deserving of Vera, who was a bright star he could not possess at any time.But, when it came to liking someone, it was not a matter of deserved or undeserving.You cannot fool even yourself when you really like someone.Was Aries, after all, unworthy of Vera? Keep in mind how Vera became the woman she is now.Without Ar
Aries terrified everyone present with one single sentence. Wilhelm’s proposal was already surprising enough, but something even more surprising happened—he proposed publicly!Was this still a fan meeting? It was basically a meeting that shunned those who were single.The single men and women who were present cringed hard.Vera was surprised as well. She did not expect that Aries would present himself in such a way, and moreover, propose to her to rescue her!Wilhelm was confused.He thought it was his chance to show off, but he actually ran into someone even more insane.He stared furiously at Aries and shouted, “Who do you think you are? Are you qualified to propose to Vera? What are you doing, guards? How can this dirty man be allowed in here? Throw him out right away!”The security guards could not understand.What a joke. How was it possible that the security guards, who were hand-picked by Aries himself, would throw him out?Wilhelm became more furious when none of the gu
Wilhelm grabbed a handful of banknotes. “Vera, if you are willing to be with me, all this money will be yours!”Vera’s eyes were red with anger. She felt insulted because Wilhelm thought that she agreed to marry Aries for the sake of money.Hence, she said, “I am sorry, but please put away your money. I chose to marry Aries not because of the money he has, but it is because I am in love with him. Love is not something you can buy with money.”What she said made Wilhelm furious.Love cannot be bought by money?Heh!Money was omnipotent. There was nothing that could not be bought with money in this world!Wilhelm threw the banknotes at Vera. “Why are you pretending to be pure? Money is not omnipotent? Bah.”He continued throwing bundles of banknotes at Vera.The bundles of hundred-dollar bills hit Vera’s body but it did not hurt her physically, instead, she felt humiliated.Aries clenched his fist and was ready to teach him a lesson.A helicopter flew over and hovered right ab
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
