Thomas also wore a delighted smile after he saw Stella sing happily. After he listened to the song, he turned off his Ipad, removed his earphones, and packed his stuff.On Monday, Thomas took the initiative to visit House of Vistaria and personally gave Stella a ride to her college.It surprised Stella slightly.At the same time, it also made Phoebe a little unhappy. When she was having breakfast, she was upset, and she felt like her best friend had surpassed her!When Stella entered the car, she suddenly said to Thomas, “God of War Is Here?”However, Thomas did not show any visible reaction.Stella was a little disappointed. She initially thought that God of War Is Here was Thomas. But upon careful consideration, Thomas was not very close with her, so he would not spend so much money for her.She pouted and stopped thinking about it.Today was the day of the annual campus recruitment in Celandine Art Academy. The HR staff from many management companies, film studios, and recor
Unfortunately, her dignity was still ridiculed.Denzel stared at her with the ghost of a smile and mocked her by saying, “Yes, your singing skills are not worse than that of anyone here, but you just can’t get the recommendation.”“How is that possible?”“It’s possible… because the recommendations are made by me!”He was so straightforward that he did not cover up his bias at all.Denzel was the tyrant in this college, and he placed himself above all students. He used his power to suppress the students and retaliate against those who did not cooperate.When he found out that Stella had humiliated Marcel, he removed her from the namelist.Personal power was weak before absolute power.No matter how gifted she was, it was useless.“You’re abusing your power to exact revenge on me!” Stella said with hatred.Denzel chuckled. “Yes, so what? You’re a student, and I’m the head teacher!”Stella could not refute what he just said.Denzel paused for a while before he continued. “But
Since Scott’s Remembrance Cultural Arts Entertainment held a high status in the industry, they had established many branch companies in many places in the country. Celandine City was no exception.Rolling Gold Label in Celandine City was an expert production company with a long history. Scott’s Remembrance Cultural Arts Entertainment had purchased it with a huge amount of money, and it became a branch company that was wholly owned by Scott’s Remembrance Cultural Arts Entertainment.At this time, Thomas was calling Rolling Gold Label’s superstar, Riley Payton.“Your business is my business! I’m happy that you called me. I’ll definitely help you. What would you like me to do?”“I’d like you to help me accept a student.”In Block B of Celandine Art Academy’s school building.Block B was empty today. The classrooms were divided and handed over to those HR staff from the big companies who had arrived for the selection.Student after student who received a recommendation entered the b
He was used to being arrogant, so he angrily yelled, “Who the heck are you? How dare you reject me? I’ll get my father to kick you off campus grounds!”The HR staff was totally shocked. Was this fellow insane? He was discrediting the best female singer!Riley scoffed. “Sure. I’d like to see how your father kicks me off campus!”“Just you wait!”Marcel immediately called Denzel.Ten minutes later, Denzel, who was aware of the situation, rushed to the school building. He was also shocked that his silly son had gotten into a conflict with the best singer. If the issue blew up and the principal discovered his evil deeds, would he still be able to work there?Marcel really caused him a lot of trouble!He could not wait to immediately go over and slap that boy. Marcel had gotten so used to being overbearing that he was running wild now.However, his biggest fear was about to happen. When he arrived at the entrance of the school building, Truman Craig, the principal, was also there.
Denzel could not figure out why a bigwig in the music industry like Riley would personally come to the college for a student without any special background.Soon, Stella arrived.Actually, Stella was just as dumbfounded. When she realized that she had been selected by Riley, her mind went blank. If Denzel had not repeatedly emphasized the importance of the matter, she would have even suspected Denzel of fooling her.When she came to the classroom and stood face to face with Riley, she felt like she was in a dream.It was Riley!Stella was so happy that she almost cried. Joy had come to her so suddenly!“Are you Stella Winslow?” Riley asked.“Yes.”“Someone showed me a video of your live stream. I thought it was great, hence I’ve come to you. Can you sing and perform a song for me on the spot?”“Sure!”Stella was so excited that she was at a loss for words. How blessed was she to sing for the best female singer!After Stella calmed down, she took a deep breath and sang “Hero”
The power that they used to rely on was instantly taken away, and they would become normal people from now on. Nobody would be afraid of them anymore. People who had been bullied by them in the past would even step forth to exact revenge on them.When they thought about it, they cried on each other’s shoulders.Riley scoffed. “Crocodile tears!”She swung her sleeves and left pridefully. She did not want to see the disgusting Rahels anymore. The Rahels’ fall from power won applause from all students in the college. Their lives in Celandine Art Academy were finally brighter.“Ms. Payton!” Stella chased from behind.“What’s wrong?” “Ms. Payton, I’d like to know who sent you a video of my live stream. He’s my savior. I have to thank him.”Riley smiled faintly. “This person is so far yet so close. He’s none other than your driver, Thomas.”“Thomas?”Stella was totally stunned. She did not expect Thomas to be the one who had helped her.The submissive deserter had actually helpe
At the same time, in Art Trading Corporation, Hayden quietly stood in front of a huge french window. He looked down at the scenery outside and appeared gloomy.“Thomas Mayo, you killed my son. I need to settle things with you!“Food and Medicine Hall’s your base, right?“Haha! I’ll destroy your Food and Medicine Hall one day!”As he spoke, he heard some door-knocking sounds.“Come in.”The door opened, and a middle-aged man who looked sly walked in. He took off his cap and nodded at Hayden.The person was a famous gangster in Celandine City. He was Red Rat, also known as Rocco Hamilton.He usually loved to instigate, slander, and frame people. He would set people up so that he could earn some profit. Some people liked him, while others hated him.Today, Hayden had found him.Rocco chuckled as he said, “Mr. Barlow, I heard that you’re looking for me?”“Yeah, I have a job for you.”“Wow, I’ll definitely try my best to complete the job that you give me, Mr. Barlow. May I kno
Thomas used to be a soldier who fought in wars. Aside from his muscular figure, his gaze was also filled with ruthlessness.Meanwhile, Rocco’s subordinates looked like sly thieves. They did not exude any ruthlessness! Besides, they had completely different figures from Thomas.Who would be a fitting candidate?Rocco picked up his teacup and drank some tea while he looked at the photo on his phone. He was thinking about who would be the most suitable person.When he turned around and looked out the window, he unexpectedly saw a man in a T-shirt among the crowd. His height and appearance seemed very similar to that of Thomas in the photo. It was as if he was Thomas’ identical twin.“Hey, you there!”Rocco immediately put down his teacup and rushed out of the restaurant.Actually, the person whom Rocco spotted was none other than Thomas.After Thomas had completed his “mission”, he had gone to purchase some ingredients, and he was on his way back now. Since his outfit was plain, h
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
