Felicia and Emma glanced at each other, and they both were skeptical. They had been so arrogant before, but why were they humble like slaves now?Moreover…Kyle raised his head and took out a cheque from his jacket pocket. He handed it over with both hands.“Madam, please accept this.“You spent six hundred thousand dollars to buy fake goods in our store. According to the rules, we’ve to pay back ten times the price if we sell fake goods. So, I have to compensate you for the loss of six million dollars.“This is a six-million-dollar check. Please accept it.”T-This was too weird, right?Emma simply wondered if Kyle had taken the wrong medicine. His behavior was so different compared to his past self. It was just unbelievable.Felicia could not care less.As soon as she saw the check handed over, she took it without hesitation. When she saw the amount, it was indeed six million dollars, and she was instantly happy.“Hahaha, great. Great.“All right, since you guys are so sinc
“Yes! Felicia, you were not there to witness it…”Charlotte recounted the scene happily and praised Thomas highly. She wished Thomas was her son-in-law.The more she praised Thomas, the more embarrassed Felicia became.Felicia had scolded Thomas harshly just now, saying that he was a “good-for-nothing”. She also said that he had gone missing at a critical moment, did not understand business opportunities, and so on.Every word Felicia said came back to her like steel knives, and they stabbed her body.She was embarrassed.She was ashamed.She was extremely ashamed.Where the hell was the business opportunity? Without Thomas, Felicia would not have even been able to get back the six hundred thousand dollars.In the end, not only did she not thank him, but she also scolded him. Haha, she was really shameless.No matter how thick-skinned Felicia was, she could not hold it any longer now. She wanted to dig a hole and bury herself. She had truly wronged her good son-in-law.“All
One of them was bald. He was obviously their boss, as everyone was polite to him.Redhead said, “Do you know Boss D? His name is Dwine. The entire area in West Creek is Boss D’s territory. You’re lucky that he took a liking to you. Give me your phone number and accompany him for drinks. I promise to give you thirty to fifty thousand dollars. What do you think? Should we go now?”Emma was really annoyed. She could not avoid unpleasant encounters. even when she went out to eat.Since she was very beautiful, she had been approached by other people before. However, she had never encountered such an arrogant and bold person.Emma said with a stony face, “Sorry, but I’m giving you my number. Please go away!”This time, Redhead was angry.He tilted his head and put the phone on the table. Then, he pointed at Emma and said, “You want to be rude to Boss D, right? Are you sure you want to be rude to Boss D? Huh?”His voice was so loud that everyone in the restaurant heard it. They stopped
Every single person in the room was caught off guard, including Emma. She really had no idea Thomas could be so ruthless.But it was completely Redhead’s fault for ruffling Thomas’s feathers.Dwine and his lackeys only realized what had happened after a while, and all of them grabbed their weapons and approached Thomas, intending to avenge their friend.“How dare you attack a lion in its den?! Do you want to die?!”Dwine and the others surrounded Thomas and his family with nasty looks on their faces. They were certainly not going to give up so quickly.Johnson and Felicia were afraid for their lives, believing that their people would not forgive them because Thomas had hurt one of Redhead’s own. There were so many people on their side, and each of them looked deadly. They were afraid they would not be able to walk out the door in one piece today.Dwine looked at Thomas with a cold stare. “Trying to be a hero now, are we?“Hoho, you’re the first person who’s brave enough to g
Taurus picked Dwine up and hurled him back onto the floor again. “For today, this is just a gentle reminder from me. If I ever get to know that you’re still trying to make friends in the future, I won’t let you go so easily.”Oh heavens, that was considered a ‘gentle reminder’?Dwine finally experienced true terror, since he was always the one who bullied others, but now he was the one who got a taste of his own medicine.“Everyone is shirtless, I see,” Taurus stated fiercely, looking at Dwine’s lackeys. “Is it too hot in here?”The lackeys jumped in surprise and hurriedly found clothes to put on. “Tsk! Get out of here,” Taurus said, dismissing them with a wave of his hands. The gang members carried Redhead and Dwine on their backs and left the restaurant gloomily. Taurus, a natural socializer, clapped his hands and dragged a chair over to Thomas’s table and sat down with them. “How was it, boss?” He asked cheerfully, “Did I do well?”“Shut up,” Thomas said in a cold tone.
Bernard stood from his seat as soon as he heard the news, his eyes wide with excitement.“Are you saying that Thomas brought one of the goods to Kindness Clinic?”“Yes!”“That’s great!” Bernard said excitedly, “As long as there’s one more left, then it’s enough to keep at least some of the important people with us. As for the minor characters, just leave them behind.”“Shall we go grab her from Kindness Clinic right now, Brother?” Silvester inquired.Bernard frowned and said, “There’s no need to rush. Because Vincent was bold enough to let Thomas bring them away, then it’s safe to assume that Thomas will protect the thing with all his might, and even Vincent will join him too. If we just barge in there rashly and steal it this way, not only won't we be able to do it, but we might alert them as well.“Most importantly, we’ll expose ourselves in this way, allowing Vincent to catch us off guard. We can’t allow that to happen. So, we’ll have to find someone qualified to assist us in
He had a wonderful way with words. Or, one could also suggest that he was being overly humble.Logically, they would agree to it, since he was being so polite and modest. But unexpectedly, Bernard changed his mind and said while waving his hands, “No, I will not let you join us, you may leave now.”Luca grew anxious after hearing that. “Why? Mr. Vedastus, I came here in all sincerity, so why aren’t you allowing me to join?” He queried.“Why? You have no idea why? Art Trading Corporation are enemies with Thomas and the Hill family. And, as far as I know, the Hill family is a part of the Eagle Alliance. I’ve already gone out of my way to not treat you with hostility, and you’re still considering joining our company? Are you daydreaming?” Bernard stated coldly.After hearing that, Luca smiled. “I believe you have misunderstood, Mr. Vedastus,” he added with a slight shake of his head. “I was immediately kicked the Hill family out after learning about their affiliation with Art Tr
Kindness Clinic did not open for business today. The shutters might be drawn, but the closed sign was hanging on the door.This was the second day the clinic was not open for business.People had no idea what had happened to Kindness Clinic. All they knew was that it was not in operation.Inside the house, Adery began teaching Clover to read and speak after feeding her. She treated her as if she were her own sister.Apart from her father, only Thomas could say a few words to Adery because of her aloof personality. Thomas was married, thus she and Thomas were unable to have a blossoming and fruitful relationship.Her sense of loneliness was only getting worse.Now that Clover had appeared, Adery recognized the same loneliness in this little girl, so she was very kind to her.According to Adery's observations, this little girl's mental age was probably stuck around the age of three or four.She could eat on her own, albeit barely.However, talking and walking were skills that ha
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
