Nicholas left the dungeon and returned to his study. The moment he got ready to open the door and walk out, he suddenly turned back. He realized that there was a trace of his teacup being moved on the desk.Hmm?He walked over and took a look. The direction of the teacup had indeed changed.The discreet change alerted Nicholas.He forbade everyone from entering the room. Without obtaining his permission, nobody was allowed to enter. So, why did it look like the teacup had been moved?It indicated that someone had secretly sneaked inside when Nicholas was not around, and that person had accidentally touched the teacup.Who could it be?The villa’s security system was very strong, so normal outsiders could not come in.There were only two people who could enter. One was the old housekeeper, while the other was Dominic.The housekeeper would never walk into the study, and he had neither a reason nor motive to walk into the room. The only person he could suspect was Dominic.“Did
Dominic waved and said, “Mom, I discovered something today.”“Oh? What did you discover?”Dominic sat down and drank a cup of tea before he said, “Didn’t I tell you previously? That old man keeps bringing me to his study recently. Also, surveillance cameras and tapping devices have been set up in his study.”Tina said, “Yeah, this shows that he’s suspicious of you. Son, why don’t we just forget it? Let’s not deal with that old man. He’s too sly.”“Mom, please don’t be anxious. Just listen to me.”Dominic paused for a while before he said, “I’ve been playing dumb and working for the old man all this while. What was all that for? Isn’t it just to identify my father’s whereabouts? People say that my father is dead, but I don’t believe them. I’m sure that my father is in the old man’s hands!”Tina sighed. “Even if it’s true, so what? Do you have any evidence? Can you find your father?”“I’m almost there,” Dominic said. “I asked Andrew to hack into the old man’s surveillance today. W
In Sterling Technology, Thomas was discussing the ‘battle’ with Diana and Aquarius.The cooperation between the Diaz family and the Martin family was already established.The three parties decided to get rid of the Gomez family and send them to the dead end. For this, Thomas needed to set up a detailed plan.Suddenly, the door opened, and Aries walked inside.Thomas looked at him, flashed a faint smile, and said, “Hello groom, you don’t accompany your wife. Why are you here at my place?”Aries awkwardly scratched his head. “Please don’t laugh at me. Although I’m married, I also can’t just abandon my work. Besides, it’s the critical time to fight the Gomez family now. I have a lot of intelligence to provide to you.”Thomas asked, “Does the bride agree?”“Of course she agrees.” Aries said, “Vera is not a girl who is so calculative.”Thomas and Aquarius looked at each other, and they chuckled.Aries walked over and said, “I really have important information to tell you.”“What i
At that time, Jeremy and Nicholas quarreled every day because of the matter.In the end, Nicholas directly grounded Jeremy. He locked him up at home and did not allow Jeremy to go anywhere or do anything.After the acquisition scandal, Jeremy returned to the company again, but he was no longer welcomed.Then, Jeremy slowly found out that Nicholas had not just schemed in this incident, but he had also used dirty methods in many matters! It could be said that the Gomez family’s honor had only been established after they had taken all resources from a lot of companies.The Gomez family was a blood-sucking group!After Jeremy clearly noticed this, he felt very hopeless. He used to be proud of the Gomez family, but then he felt ashamed of the Gomez family.He kept drinking to dispel his sadness, and he was gloomy.In the end, Jeremy made a very bold decision, which was to betray the Gomez family and Nicholas.Jeremy secretly contacted an expert in the industry, and both parties reac
In the Gomez family’s villa, an old man and a young man sat together and had some tea.Their faces held smiles, but they were guarded against each other. They just carried on with their “acting,” which normal people could not hold.Nicholas took a sip of the tea before he spoke with worries, “Thomas already has a cooperation with the Martin family and the Diaz family. Now, the three of them cooperate to deal with us. Sigh, the Gomez family is in danger!”Dominic patted on his chest and said, “Grandpa, what are you worried about? These people are just a motley crowd. Even if they work together, they will not be the opponent of the Gomez family. You know, the wealth of the Gomez family is ranked first in Central City!”“Although what you say is right, we have to guard against them.” Nicholas meaningfully stared at Dominic. Suddenly, he said something that made Dominic feel goosebumps.He said, “Dominic, people say Jeremy did not die, and he was grounded by me. Did you hear about thi
“But Master, I still don’t understand your intention.“You asked Young Master to pretend to surrender to Thomas. Although he won’t cooperate with Thomas, he and Thomas ultimately want to kill us. If Young Master secretly provides Thomas with some important information, we’ll still be on the passive side.”Nicholas said, “I also thought about that, but I have to do it. If I don’t take the risk, how can I get the victory? This time, I’ll catch these two cubs! To do this, I have to bear some risks.”The housekeeper seriously stared at Nicholas. “Master, do you really plan to do it? You already ground up your son, and you only have these two grandsons, Dominic and Thomas now. If you get rid of them both, aren’t you… going to lose all your descendants?”Nicholas let out a long sigh.“This is God’s plan. What else can I do?“I’d rather let everyone down than let everyone disappoint me!“Regardless of my son or grandson, if they dare to betray me, I’ll get rid of them. Even if I don’t
The next morning, Thomas received a piece of very shocking news. Dominic had come to visit him!Thomas was still discussing the things related to dealing with the Gomez family with Aries and Aquarius. Unexpectedly, Dominic purposely rushed over.What was he doing here? Did he come to get some news?Most importantly, Dominic put on a cap and sunglasses and was dressed in a trench coat, as if he was afraid of being recognized. He even drove a feminine pink sedan.His strange behavior like this made Thomas a little dumbfounded. Thomas could not figure out Dominic’s intention of coming here.“Do you want to see him?” Aries asked.“Yes, of course, I have to see him. Dominic came in such a strange way. If I don’t see him, how can I know what he is trying to do?”Therefore, Thomas went to the meeting room while he felt puzzled, and he met Dominic.Their relationship was not bad.However, when they met, they also had nothing to say, so that was very awkward. Thomas could not open up a
Thomas chose to believe Dominic because he really could not find any trace of Dominic lying.However, Thomas did not agree to work with Dominic so easily either.He said, “I also know a little about what you said. Indeed, I can understand you emotionally. But Dominic, your relationship with Nicholas is very close, and you and I don’t have a conflict for just one or two days. Even if I trust you, I won’t accept you so easily.”Dominic said, “I know. It’d be very hard for you to instantly accept me. But don’t worry, I’ll show you my loyalty.”Loyalty?“What do you mean?”“You’ll understand it very quickly. Just wait for my good news.”After she spoke, Dominic put on his cap and sunglasses. Then, he hurriedly left, as if he was afraid of being recognized.After he left, Aries and Aquarius also came to the meeting room.They had the same thought as Thomas. Emotionally, Dominic’s action was understandable and very real. But in reality, such a thing was really too hard to believe.
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
