Thomas was sitting on a long bench in the detention center. He closed his eyes and rested as if he did not hear what the waiter said.The waiter waited for a few seconds at the door. When he noticed that Thomas did not respond, he frowned. Then, he forced a smile and walked up to Thomas before he chuckled and said, “Mr. Mayo, I know what happened earlier was my fault. I should not have locked you in this place. You can punch me or punish me. Just don’t throw a tantrum, please.”Throw a tantrum?Haha! Thomas was going to throw a tantrum right now!Thomas acted like he did not hear him. He leaned on the wall with his eyes closed, and he did not move at all. Nobody knew whether he was sleeping or not.When the waiter saw that Thomas did not move, he anxiously nudged Thomas a little. “Mr. Mayo! Mr. Mayo, are you sleeping? Mr. Mayo?”At that moment, Thomas gently waved his hand to push the waiter’s hand away.“Mr. Mayo, you’re not sleeping.”The waiter chuckled and continued to say,
This was ridiculous!Someone felt unhappy, so he purposely said, “Mr. Mayo, I heard that your medical skills are the best in the world. You can bring a dead person back to life, and you managed to help Mr. Braun, who was severely sick, recover. You’re truly awesome.”Thomas casually said, “I didn’t bring him back to life. I just used the technique of Apparent Death.”Technique of Apparent Death?Haha! There was also another doctor in the room. He was Ezra Mendez, Vincent’s personal doctor.He did not see Thomas’ magical treatment because he had gone abroad to search for a solution to save Vincent, so he did not understand Thomas’ medical skills accurately.From his perspective, Thomas was an opportunistic person who had taken the advantage that initially belonged to him.Hmph!Ezra scoffed. He intentionally played a dirty trick and said, “Mr. Mayo, since you’re so incredible, why don’t we play a small game?”Thomas smiled faintly. “What game is it?”Ezra stood up. He casual
Ezra did not believe it. How could he not know which dish he had poisoned?He took big bites and ate while he said, “Wow, this tastes really good. It’s delicious. This steak is really tender.”When everyone saw him eat happily, they sighed in relief. It seemed that the steak was also not poisoned.In that case, it was a tie for Thomas and Ezra.Nobody would feel embarrassed.While everyone thought that the whole thing would pass just like that, an accident happened. Ezra’s face suddenly became distorted, and he coughed up some blood, staining the table red.Everyone beside him was shocked. All of them got up and took a few steps back.The food was poisonous!Ezra covered his neck with his hands, and he was in so much pain that he could not say a word. He instantly fell to the ground. His body twitched for a while before he stopped moving.He seemed to be dead.“Ezra!”Vincent was shocked. He quickly went over and checked on Ezra. Ezra was still breathing, but it was very slo
There was not much time for them to really eat. Most of the time, they were just flattering each other. Thomas was not fond of that type of atmosphere, but he still stayed until the end to not embarrass Vincent.After the banquet, Vincent asked Thomas to follow him into a small room alone.The door was shut, and there were only two of them.Vincent lowered his voice and said, “Mr. Mayo, I know the Hill Group has joined Mark of the River Mountain and it’s fighting Art Trading Corporation directly.”Thomas nodded. “Yes.”“So, Mr. Mayo, have you come up with a strategy to fight them?”Thomas just said, “I’ll take action according to the situation.”Vincent laughed and said, “That’s very passive, and you’ll be controlled by them. Please don’t mind me being direct, but that’s not a good choice.”Of course Thomas knew that the choice was not good, but Thomas could not expose all his plans for certain reasons either, right?Vincent continued. “In my opinion, instead of just waiting,
After Thomas went back home, all his family members surrounded him and asked him about lunch.“Don’t worry, I’m fine,” Thomas calmly said.Emma walked forward and said, “It’s best that you’re fine. Oh yeah, we should do the birth registration for our baby. We can’t delay it.”Thomas nodded.With that, Thomas brought his wife and child out. They took the car to register their baby’s birth.After they arrived, Thomas parked the car, opened an umbrella, and walked inside with Emma as she held the baby.“We’d like to register our baby’s birth,” Thomas said to the female officer who was on duty.The woman was just a temporary worker, and she answered, “Okay, you can fill out the form.”She just spoke without taking action. She had asked Thomas to fill out a form, but she had not provided Thomas with the form.Thomas waited in front of the counter like an idiot. He waited for a long time before he finally got impatient. “Can you stop doing your nails? You have to pass me the documen
That was what he wanted.“You want to apologize? Sure.” The team leader pointed at the female temporary worker and said, “Just apologize to her. If you’re sincere enough, I can exercise discretion.”The female temporary worker sat up straight and raised her head arrogantly.‘You want to fight me? You’re not qualified!’The temporary worker did not care about Thomas at all. She had support anyway, so she could do whatever she wanted.Thomas finally knew why a temporary worker could be so arrogant and bold. It turned out that someone was backing her up.He stared at them in displeasure, and his gaze was full of anger.Emma knew Thomas’ character, so she quickly tugged on Thomas’ sleeve and whispered, “A man can take temporary setbacks. Apologizing is better than getting detained for five days, right? We still have to register our daughter’s birth. Don’t delay it. Hurry up, do it.”Yes, a man could take temporary setbacks.However, he could not apologize for some things!What ha
The team leader really could not say anything now. He did not know how to face Thomas either.“What are you planning to do now? Do you still want to arrest Mr. Mayo?” Fergus asked coldly.Still arrest him?He would never dare to do so no matter how bold he was!The team leader cried and said, “Oh my, Mr. Morgan, what are you talking about? I already made one mistake. How could I keep making mistakes? Mr. Mayo is Mr. Braun’s savior. No matter what, I can’t let him suffer any injury.”Some people would not be able to raise their heads high once they were taken down a notch.While the team leader had been fierce earlier, he was a little puppy now.He chuckled and said to Thomas, “Um, Mr. Mayo, I’m really sorry about just now. I shouldn’t have talked to you like that. Actually, this whole thing is the temporary worker’s fault. It’s ridiculous for her to do her nails during working hours!”Everyone chuckled.He had taken the temporary worker’s side previously, but he turned into a
He silently touched the gun in his clothes, and there was a cold gleam in his eye. ‘Art Trading Corporation, this isn’t over!’......In the board of directors’ room inside the building of Art Trading Corporation, Bernard Vedastus, the company’s deputy director, was sitting in the chair. He was Silvester’s brother and the eldest son of the head of the family. He was in charge of Southland District.One could say that the current achievements of Art Trading Corporation were all thanks to Bernard’s expansion.At this moment, Bernard said casually while cutting the apple, “Silvester, you’ve been too reckless lately. Your actions have brought a lot of harm to Art Trading Corporation.”He was talking about the recent series of confrontations between Silvester and Thomas. Silvester said coldly, “I wasn’t reckless. This is all because Thomas provoked me. As a member of the board of directors of Art Trading Corporation, I’ll embarrass Art Trading Corporation if I choose to keep quiet wh
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
