Thomas drove a company car and rushed to the chief officer’s office building.

When he passed by a riverside highway, he surprisingly saw that many cars were parked along the road. A group of people was standing by the river while looking at something.

An elder with gray hair was crying loudly at the riverside. It sounded like he was crying because his grandson had been swept away by the river.

Thomas parked his car, opened the door, and walked toward the crowd.

“What happened?” Thomas asked.

A nosy old lady said, “An old man brought a kid and played by the river. Unfortunately, a big wave splashed on them, and the kid fell deep into the river, so he was instantly swept away by the wave.”

In that case, the kid might have died.

The old lady pointed into the distance and said, “Look, the kid’s there.”

Thomas looked over in the direction of her finger. He saw a kid holding a foam board while floating amidst the waves.

The kid would have already died without the foam board.

    Jordan tried to grab Thomas, but Thomas easily evaded him.Thump! Thomas plunged into the river and swam in the direction of the child.“Crazy! Crazy! A madman who values money over his life!” Jordan shouted after him.Other onlookers also shook their heads.“Sigh, the temptation of money is so great. It literally drives people to their deaths.”“Haha, in my opinion, he is just rushing to die.”“You’re right. I don’t think the young man would survive in such a big storm.”As they were speaking, a huge wave hit Thomas.In the blink of an eye, Thomas’s figure disappeared. No one knew where he went.Jordan sneered. “What did I say? Why did he have to show off? Now, look at him. Another young one lost to us.”As everyone was sighing, someone suddenly pointed to the river.“Look. What is that?”Everyone’s gaze followed his hand. They saw a figure popping out of the river, and he happened to appear next to the child. Who else could it be except Thomas?It turned out that Thomas

    The old man was extremely touched. At first, he thought that Thomas had saved his grandson for money. Who knew that he was a man of such integrity? He did not even save the child for the money.In today’s society, there were truly not many young people who were this capable and responsible.“Sir, can you tell me your name?”“Thomas Mayo.”The old man took out a business card and handed it to Thomas. “Mr. Mayo, this is my business card. In the future, you can call me whenever you need help from me. I will never turn you down.”“Okay, I’ll keep it.”Thomas put the business card in the car. Then, he waved and drove away.While driving, he inadvertently glanced at the business card.The top producer of Rolling Thunder Records Company, Jonah Dunkley.“Top producer?“Then he is someone from the cultural and entertainment industry? Maybe we will have a chance to cooperate in the future.”Thomas kept the business card and drove to the office building of the chief officer in charge.

    He sighed. “Don’t talk nonsense.”Thomas moved to the corner awkwardly and shook his head while showing a bitter smile.After a short while, the elevator stopped on the sixteenth floor, and the door opened.Thomas stepped out first. Collins and his secretary frowned at the same time. What a coincidence. This person also came to the sixteenth floor.The secretary complained, “We’re so unlucky. We’ve been together with this slob all the way. I’m afraid that things won’t go smoothly without a hitch today.”The three came to the entrance of the chief officer in charge’s office area.The door opened.As Thomas was about to go in, the secretary could not stand it anymore and rebuked, “How can you behave like this? Can’t you see that the boss is here? Don’t you know that you should let the boss enter first? Must you rush and let the boss follow you?”Thomas smiled helplessly and extended his hand to signal them to go in first.The secretary snorted and said to Collins, “Mr. Dixon, yo

    The scene was quite awkward.Collins and the secretary were dumbfounded, and their mouths were wide open. They looked at Thomas, who sat in his seat, and were speechless for a long time.They had completely forgotten the words that were just at the tip of their tongues.Who would have thought that this sloppy young man would be the chief officer in charge of the Southland District?His age and appearance were far from what Collins had imagined.He even became cynical.If other people said that this person was the chief officer in charge, Collins would never have believed it. However, Samson was the one who said it. If he put two and two together with how Thomas got in completely unhindered, it was basically certain that he was the chief officer in charge.It was just that it was really hard for people to accept it.Thomas knew this as well. He touched his nose awkwardly and deliberately changed the topic. “Mr. Dixon, aren’t you here for something?”“Oh, you’re right.”Collins

    “You’re afraid of me taking revenge by abusing my power?”“No, I dare not think so.”Thomas smiled and said, “The proposal you submitted is perfect, and you meant well for the country and the people. If I obstructed you because of a small matter, then won’t I become a jerk?”Collins smiled. He never expected this chief officer in charge to be this approachable.Thomas continued, “Besides, anyone would hate it when they saw my appearance. It would be strange if you have no reaction whatsoever. All right, I’ll have to change my clothes and take a shower to get rid of this foul smell. Samson will follow up.”“Thank you, chief officer in charge.”Just as Samson was about to send Collins and the secretary out, Thomas suddenly thought of something.“Wait.”“Chief officer in charge, is there anything else?”Thomas thought for a while and said, “In a few days, a cultural and entertainment base will be completed. Are you interested in attending with me?”Collins said cheerfully, “Of c

    Thomas was very pleased to have a reliable helper like Anna. It had saved him a lot of trouble.If he did not get Anna’s help, how could he make such a big move?He was afraid that he would invest a lot of money, but it would be wasted. It was difficult to find a reliable person, so Anna was really priceless.After Scott’s Remembrance Cultural Arts Entertainment Base was completed, Thomas and Anna discussed and set a date for the opening ceremony.They wanted people in the whole Southland District to understand the strength of Scott’s Remembrance Cultural Arts Entertainment and declare Scott’s Remembrance Cultural Arts Entertainment’s high-profile entry to the masses.The opening ceremony of Scott’s Remembrance Cultural Arts Entertainment would be officially held in three days.Anna spread this news through various channels to advertise in advance, and she was actively micromanaging every detail.With such a big advertisement, the news soon reached the ears of Conley, the chairm

    “Calix, aren’t you putting us down and praising them? They are just a soldier and a woman. What’s so scary about them?“Look at you being this frightened. Did your last failure completely crush you, so you’re nothing but a shadow of your former self?”Calix gritted his teeth and stared at Donell.The last mistake was indeed very serious, and it had directly caused Skyworld Enterprise to lose Shalom Technology, the cash cow.Calix had also suffered a huge psychological trauma, and he could not forget it for some time.Donell spotted this and deliberately exposed the scar.Conley waved his hand and said, “All right, stop arguing. What you guys said makes sense. We can neither underestimate Thomas nor think highly of him.“Didn’t Thomas do the opening ceremony with a lot of advertisements?“I’ll make him fail and let him know how bad the consequences are when one picks a fight with me.”Donell nodded. “Mr. Hudson, leave this matter to me. He is doing an opening ceremony, so he ne

    In the chairman’s office of the Scott’s Remembrance Cultural Arts Entertainment Base, Thomas looked at the lavish and clean decoration and said with a smile, “Anna, you really know how to enjoy life.”Anna made two cups of coffee and gave a cup to Thomas.“Enjoying life is the basic requirement of art creators. If I don’t even know this, I can quit the industry.”Thomas smiled and shook his head. He raised the cup and took a sip of it.Right then, the phone on the desk rang.Anna walked over to answer the phone. “Hello, may I ask who is speaking?”“Anna, it’s me, Sylvia.”“Oh, Sylvia. What’s wrong?”“Erm, didn’t I promise you at the beginning that I would sing a song at the opening ceremony in three days?”“Yeah.”“I’m really sorry, but my grandma is severely ill all of a sudden. I need to be with her in the hospital for these two days, so I want to cancel this schedule at the last moment. Is that possible?”She had already put it in this way, so what else could Anna say?S

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
