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
Anna gritted her teeth and said, “Darn it, they are so despicable to stoop to such a dirty trick.”Thomas smiled and said, “Remember my original intention to create Scott’s Remembrance Cultural Arts Entertainment? It’s not for money or art. It’s just for revenge and to drive Hegemony Entertainment out of the industry. The fact proves that if we don’t do so, they will drive us out.”Anna sighed. “There are no other choices. Now, I can only find some foreign artists to support the ceremony.”“We can’t do that.”“Why?”Thomas said, “If we find a group of foreigners to the domestic opening ceremony, we will be doomed when the Hegemony Entertainment accuses us of fawning on foreigners.”Anna was anxious. “We can’t let our unknown artists go to support the ceremony, right? That’s too shabby.”This was a problem.Thomas thought for a while, and he suddenly remembered one thing.He asked, “Anna, do you know a person named Jonah Dunkley?”“Yeah, I know him. Why?”“Is he famous?”“Uh
Three days passed in the blink of an eye, and the opening ceremony of Scott’s Remembrance Cultural Arts Entertainment had officially arrived.On this day, the venue was beautifully decorated, and there were many performances.Luxurious sports cars were parked everywhere. All the rich and powerful tycoons of the whole Southland district were willing to come and take a look.In particular, those entertainment companies in the industry. They all sent people over to congratulate them.On the surface, they were congratulating them, but in fact, they were all here to investigate the strength of Scott’s Remembrance Cultural Arts Entertainment.That was because everyone could see that the target of Scott’s Remembrance Cultural Arts Entertainment was Hegemony Entertainment. These small entertainment companies must see the strength of Scott’s Remembrance Cultural Arts Entertainment so that they could decide which companies they should support in the future.Of course, this kind of event wo
“Get out of my way.”“Give way, give way.”Stud Lad came to Anna and Thomas, and he stared at them for a few seconds. After a while, he said in a daunting manner, “What are you guys doing here? Did you bring so many people here to create chaos?”Thomas furrowed his brow.Today was a joyous occasion, but these people were clearly here to cause trouble.Anna stopped the fuming Thomas and asked a question before he could say anything, “Who are you?”“You don’t even know me? Listen carefully. I am from the Bureau of Industry and Commerce! My name is Victor Payne.”Anna asked, “Victor, for what reason did you bring so many of your people here?”“For what reason? That’s a stupid question.” Victor pointed at the surroundings and said impatiently, “You are organizing such a grand event today. You have also invited so many people over. What are you planning to do?”“We’re holding a grand opening for our establishment.”“Grand opening? Hah, did I allow you to hold it?”These words did
Thomas was quite angry at first, but when he heard Collins Dixon’s name, he began to smile.He coughed deliberately and asked, “Are you talking about Collins Dixon, the eldest brother-in-law of Deputy Division Chief Dixon?”Victor patted his chest and said, “Exactly!”“Now, do you know how good I am? To be frank with you, no matter which director you have asked to process your documents, they will still be unqualified when they reach my department.”“Whatever I say is equivalent to my brother-in-law’s words.”“My brother-in-law’s words have absolute authority!”Thomas smiled slightly and then asked, “Victor, does your brother-in-law know what you just said? Does he approve of this?”“What a stupid question? Since the Deputy Division Chief Dixon is my brother-in-law, how can he not stand by me?”After a pause, Victor continued by saying, “I can tell you clearly. With my presence today, all of you from the Scott’s Remembrance Cultural Arts Entertainment are not allowed to carry o
Donell, who stood at one side, started narrowing his eyes as he really could not predict Thomas’ identity.Only Victor was still acting like a fool.“Collins, why are you talking nonsense with him?”“I’m here to take care of everything. You can go back. Rest assured I will get things done and they won’t be able to start their business operation today.”Collins’ eyes started popping out like bullseye.“How dare you!!!”He raised his hand and slapped Victor’s face heavily. Instantly, a bright red slap print appeared on his face.Victor covered his face with one hand, and said in disbelief, “You dare to slap me? Mr. Dixon, you wait and see, and I shall complain to my sister when I go back!”“Go back?”“Complaining to my wife?”Collins sneered, “You misused my title, and went on to threaten and intimidate others under the guise of my identity. You even blatantly slandered and insulted the official certificate issued by the Bureau of Industry and Commerce. Do you think you can sti
The media reporters were all dumbfounded at the scene, and no one could have imagined that things would turn out like that.At first, they thought that the grand opening ceremony might become the grand closure ceremony. Every cloud had a silver lining and the crisis was resolved.Everyone started taking guesses at Thomas’ identity.They were surprised that Deputy Division Chief Dixon was behaving so politely to him.Anna was also a little surprised. She did not know the true identity of Collins Dixon. At first, she thought he was just an ordinary friend of Thomas, but she had not expected him to be a highly respected figure.She walked towards Thomas and pinched him on purpose.“Okay, why did you not tell me that you invited such an influential person? You made me worry in vain.”Thomas smiled, “Continue with the grand opening.”Anna walked up to the crowd and said, “The small issue that we’re facing just now is resolved. Now we will continue with the grand opening. Please come
“Is this for real, Scott’s Remembrance Cultural Arts Entertainment was so shabby that they didn’t even invite one celebrity?”“There is too much talk and not enough work being done. At the end of the day, they just want to show off their hall to us.”“Hey, are there any celebrities today? If not, let us leave early and don’t waste our time.”Discussions ensued among the audience, and they were extremely disappointed with Scott’s Remembrance Cultural Arts Entertainment.Donell sat with his legs crossed, his face alluring with pride as he started muttering, “Celebrities? Aha, whoever that dares to come, will never get a contract from our Hegemony Entertainment, and wait to be shut out for a lifetime!”Subsequently, he took the lead in making a fuss."Hey, Ms. Caspian, isn’t your newcomer unable to invite any celebrities from coming?”“Do you want me to help you?”“I have a large number of high-quality artists under my lead. If you had asked me earlier, I would have arranged for s
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
