Thomas paused for a while before he said something that made everyone else gasp.“What if Nicholas purposely showed us a weak point? What if we didn’t remove his ‘lung,’ but he grabbed our hands and removed ‘the lung’ himself? What about that?”The atmosphere in the office instantly became tense.Could that possibly happen?Diana said, “Mr. Mayo, we’re not shooting a movie. Would it be that complicated? Everyone knows how important Smart Age Manufacturing was to the Gomez family. How could Nicholas trouble himself? He has no reason to do that.”“There is a reason.” Aquarius realized it and did an analysis. “There are two advantages. One is to give up on the small company to protect the main company. He could totally remove a malfunctioned subsidiary company. Secondly, he won your trust. He established a good base for us to work with Dominic again.”Diana was totally speechless.Was Nicholas really so brilliant?Diana gulped and said, “People like you are too smart. This questio
In the Gomez family’s villa, some soothing music was played. Nicholas hummed the music, and he felt extremely happy.Dominic walked inside and said with a nervous expression, “Grandpa, it’s bad. Something happened!”Nicholas asked without looking up, “What happened that made you so flustered? Did the media report some nonsense again?”“No,” Dominic said. “It’s Thomas! That jerk is too sly. He’s asking for a foot when I’ve given him an inch!”Nicholas looked up at him and asked, “Thomas? How did he ask for a foot when you gave him an inch? Doesn’t he trust you?”Dominic sighed and said, “We already sacrificed Smart Age Manufacturing, but Thomas is still not satisfied. He just secretly gave me a call and asked me to help him eradicate the Gomez family again. Look, isn’t he asking for a foot when I’ve given him an inch?”When Nicholas heard that, he burst out laughing.Dominic looked at him in confusion. “Grandpa, what are you laughing at? Did I say something wrong?”Nicholas aske
On the other side, Dominic returned home with a lot of documents.He put his documents on the table before he hugged his head with both hands, sat on the couch, and painfully struggled.Tina walked over, flipped through the documents on the table, and read. When she read it, she was totally surprised. She said, “Dominic, where did you get these documents? These are the most important secrets of the Gomez family!”Dominic honestly said, “The old man gave them to me.”“The old man gave them to you? How is that possible?”“What I said is true,” Dominic said. “Thomas is forcing me to break down the Gomez family, and I initially wanted to threaten the old man with this. But unexpectedly, the old man did not care about it. He even handed the most important secrets of the Gomez family to me. He asked me to inform Thomas and cooperate with Thomas to break down the Gomez family. I really could not figure out what this old man was trying to do! Did he want to use Thomas’ hand to break down
In Sterling Technology’s office at 11.00 pm, the phone was placed on the table, and the speaker was switched on. Everyone in the office could hear what Dominic said.Aries and Aquarius recorded the information provided by Dominic at the same time, while Thomas closed his eyes slightly and gently tapped on the table as if he was thinking about something.Nobody knew if Thomas was listening to what Dominic said.After about ten minutes, Dominic finished saying all the contents. He just hung up the call without talking about anything else again.In the office, Aries and Aquarius were quite excited.Aries looked at the content that had been recorded and happily said, “Our method really works. I never thought that Dominic wasn’t pretending to seek refuge from us. He was being sincere. He actually exposed so many of the Gomez family’s secrets. This time, we can punish Nicholas, that sly old man!”Aquarius nodded. “With all this information, it won’t be impossible if we want to defeat N
It was not easy to deal with Nicholas, the old man.…… At the same time, in the Gomez family’s villa, Nicholas, who should be sleeping now, was dancing in the lobby with good spirits.He flashed a smile on his face, and he looked very happy.The housekeeper walked over and said, “Master, according to what we obtained from eavesdropping, the young master has exposed the Gomez family’s information to Thomas as you have predicted. So, what do you plan to do next?”Nicholas danced while he relaxingly said, “What else can I do? There’s a mole in the Gomez family who cooperates with the outsider to deal with the Gomez family. This is considered a commercial crime! Even if he’s my grandson, I still can’t forgive him. I’m a righteous person who can punish my family members when dealing with major issues!“Now, you send all the evidence to the police station, arrest Dominic and Thomas the jerks, and punish them properly!”Finally, the knife that was hung in the air for a long time was g
Dominic was stunned for a few seconds. He had yet to realize what was going on.Why was he suddenly sued?Did Thomas take those documents about the Gomez family and sue him? Thomas was a real jerk!Dominic asked, “Who’s suing me? Is it Thomas?”His personal secretary said, “No, it’s not Thomas. This has nothing to do with Thomas Mayo.”“Huh?” Dominic felt confused. Other than Thomas, who would sue him? Who would be so bold?He asked, “Which jerk dares to sue me?’His personal secretary hesitated. He wanted to say it, but he did not have the courage to do so. Since the name was too shocking, his secretary did not know how to utter it.Dominic frowned. “Why are you choking? Tell me who it is!”His personal secretary let out a long sigh. “It… It’s your grandfather, Nicholas Gomez. Mr. Gomez!”Boom!Dominic’s mind exploded. He dared not believe it.He instantly jumped off the couch.“Don’t say such nonsense irresponsibly!“Is Grandpa too free? Why does he want to sue me?“If
When “Tarek Diaz” was mentioned, Nicholas’ tone clearly changed.He asked, “What do you mean?”“I don’t mean anything. I just want to remind you that I have the video that recorded the scene of you killing Tarek. If you back me into the corner, we can just die together. I’ll be jailed, you’ll receive a death sentence. Everyone will be finished.”Nicholas squinted. He also did not expect that Dominic would keep the murdering video. If the video was really handed to the police, he would definitely get arrested and receive a death sentence without any doubt.Since things progressed to this point, he could just… Fight with force!Nicholas chuckled and said, “Dominic, I know you’re a filial kid. You’ve been by my side these years. Do you really think I didn’t know what you wanted to do? Don’t you just want to figure out your father’s whereabouts?”After Dominic heard Jeremy’s name, his expression also changed.Nicholas continued. “Dominic, I can clearly tell you that if I die, Je
Thomas was sitting in the chairman’s office in Sterling Technology. Aries, Aquarius, and Diana were sitting in their respective chairs, and all of them were frowning deeply.They had already been informed that Nicholas had obtained evidence and sued Thomas.Luckily, they had not rushed to go on the offensive today, or else they would be directly implicated. At that time, Thomas would not be sued, but the police would come and arrest him instead.Aries said, “We thought about everything, but we still failed to consider that Nicholas and Dominic were not on the same side. Nicholas even wanted to get rid of his grandson! Not only that, he even instigated Dominic to cooperate with us. This is like a man making his wife sleep with another man, and when she sleeps with the man, the husband calls the police and reports her for prostitution. Then, the two of them are arrested together.”Although this example sounded disgusting, this really looked like what it was happening now.What Nicho
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
