It seemed that the winner was already confirmed.While everyone watched, Tarek bought a lot of jewelry and jades. Every piece was extremely valuable and gorgeous. Their prices were also very cheap.The most expensive piece just cost him $500,000. He was not like Thomas who had spent $5,000,000 on one piece, which was extremely expensive.Tarek peaked at Thomas and secretly snickered. If this continued, he would definitely be the winner today.He secretly thought, “Nicholas didn’t trick me. He arranged everything for me. This time, I’ll definitely get the management rights to Prosperous Star Pavilion, and I won’t need to worry about my life anymore.”Tarek was already thinking about his life after receiving the money. He would definitely enjoy his life with women and gamble all the time. Of course, he would also be able to buy luxurious houses and yachts.None of them would be left out.The more he thought about it, the happier he became.“Sir, this piece of jade costs $200,000.
An hour later, Tarek and Thomas completed their missions in Stellar Jewelers. Tarek had spent $10,000,000 for 106 pieces of jade, while Thomas had spent the same amount of money but only bought five pieces.They had a totally different number of jades between them, and the huge difference was inconceivable.Everyone had guessed that Thomas would buy less, but they never expected him to buy such a low number of jade pieces. How could he defeat Tarek with that amount?It was a totally impossible mission!The two of them approached Georgia.Tarek chuckled and said, “Mdm. Diaz, both of us have completed our missions. Come and do the comparison now. But I think you don’t have to compare anymore. I bought 106 pieces, and he bought 5. His number is not even 10% of my total number of pieces. I’ve won by too huge of a margin this round.”Georgia’s complexion turned pale.She did not want Tarek to win. The problem was, Tarek had a 99.99% chance of winning!While Georgia hesitated, Thomas
Pfft! He was really incapable. Even a normal person could not have done such a thing.This was so embarrassing!Tarek could not wait to dig a hole in the ground for himself. He was so embarrassed to look at anyone now.Therefore, he vented all of his anger on Thomas.He pointed at Thomas and said, “Don’t be so arrogant. My selection may not be good, but is your selection great? Look at the trash in your hands. They are so ugly and dark. Even if you throw them at the roadside, nobody will pick them up. Mine’s still worth $5, but your trash will not even be worth $1! So, I’ll still be the winner.” Thomas did not rush to refute him. Instead, he just placed the five pieces of jade on the table and said, “Sir, please begin your inspection of these jades.”The three appraisers looked at each other.Deep down, they naturally hoped that Thomas would win as well. But when they saw Thomas’ jades, they were trash. How could he win?Did they really need to say these jades were top quality
In the Gomez family’s villa, Nicholas already knew the situation in the shop. This time, he did not get angry. He just shook his head helplessly.“I knew there had to be something going on when it became strange.“Thomas is such a brilliant person. How could we possibly fool him so easily?“His actions were too stupid, hence there had to be something wrong. As expected, this lad removed all the people I had planted and secretly replaced them with his people.“Not only that, he even set up a big trap for us and waited for us to jump in.“We were deceived by the lad!”Nicholas had failed again and again. In the beginning, he was angry, but he slowly lost hope.He even began to imagine certain situations in his head. He felt that it was possible to be defeated by Thomas, and the Gomez family could fall apart.In the past, he would never wonder about such a thing.Thomas really made him feel what fear was.Nicholas smoked one cigarette after another, and he felt very annoyed. Was
The housekeeper and Dominic looked at each other, and they felt frightened. This was the first time they saw Nicholas ruthlessly killing someone.It was truly frightening.…… After Thomas officially took over Tarek’s Prosperous Star Pavilion’s business, he finally felt relieved. From now onward, Sterling Technology was in cooperation with the Diaz family!The alliance to deal with the Gomez family was officially established.Thomas happily went back to the company. As soon as he went back to the office, Diana opened the champagne that she had prepared in advance.“Cheers!”Diana was quite happy today. She witnessed yet another miracle.She said, “Mr. Mayo, we’ll be rich now. Shouldn’t you increase our salary?”Thomas chuckled, and said, “Of course I will raise your salary.”While they chatted happily, Aries opened the door, walked inside, and congratulated Thomas.Thomas waved his hand, and asked, “Don’t talk about me, we’d better talk about you first. Aries, you proposed t
Everyone in the ballroom heard the funeral music from the ballroom next door, and the smiles on their faces froze. What was going on?It should be known that Jessington Hotel was the top hotel in Central City.The hotel rented out rooms specially for people to hold weddings. A funeral was never held there.That was confirmed.If a hotel organized weddings and funerals, would people not fight each other if they bumped together?The situation at this time made Thomas and the others feel quite awkward.The host still wanted to shut out the music, so he quickly asked some people to close the ballroom door. But it was still of no use. It seemed that the ballroom next door wanted to humiliate them. The funeral music was very loud.Besides, the door next door was not shut. The sound was directly transmitted into this ballroom.The host spoke in that “sad” atmosphere, and he felt uncomfortable whenever he spoke. He had been a host and emcee for almost twenty years, but this was his fir
Thomas walked over and stared Wilhelm in the eyes.He remained silent for a while.He said, “Are you done with this? Today is a happy day. I don’t want to cause any trouble. Stop this farce, and I can pretend that nothing happened.”Thomas was already being very restrained.After all, it was a happy day. It was not suitable to use any violence.If it had been a usual day, Thomas would have taken care of these people a long time ago without showing them any mercy.Unfortunately, ignorant idiots really existed in the world.Wilhelm scoffed and said, “Mr. Mayo, aren’t you going too far? I’m holding a funeral here, how can this be a farce? I’m already very sad, but you’re still forcing me like this. Can you show some respect?”Diana spat and said, “Holding a funeral? Haha! Which of your family members died?” Wilhelm shrugged and said, “My dog, Winston! He died because of an illness two days ago. Winston lived with me for about eight years, and we were very close. Now he’s dead. I
There were so many people in the ballroom. Even if they were stupid, they still knew that they should not resist.Wilhelm did not expect Thomas to be so powerful either. Was he not the chairman of a company? Why was he able to get so much manpower like that?Wilhelm really could not figure it out.He cleared his throat and said, “Um, Mr. Mayo, let’s talk nicely. Why are we acting violently? Why have you called so many people over? It’s so crowded here.”Did he realize that he should talk nicely now?“Now you know how to talk nicely. Isn’t it too late? We were talking to you nicely earlier, but you refused to listen to us. You didn’t just refuse to listen, you even wanted your subordinates to deal with us. Wow, when you see that we have more people, you want to talk nicely now. How can you have all the say at this point?” Diana said with contempt.Women were usually the best at arguing.Wilhelm felt quite uncomfortable after Diana criticized him. However, things had progressed
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
