Monday, Scott’s Remembrance Cultural Arts Entertainment, the executive meeting room.Every Monday morning, there was a meeting in Scott’s Remembrance Cultural Arts Entertainment to conclude their achievements in the past week and make a work plan for the coming week.As the CEO, Anna strictly controlled every section. Thomas just needed to sit at the side and learn about the company’s development progress.While the executives discussed the coming work plan in the meeting, there was a knock on the door.“Come in,” Anna said.The door was opened, and the receptionist walked in. “Ms. Caspian, Elio Gibson from Shark Hunters is looking for you.”Elio Gibson?What was he doing here?Anna frowned. Scott’s Remembrance Cultural Arts Entertainment did not interact too much with Shark Hunters. Elio was kind of impolite as he did not even call them before he came over.“I got it. Please bring him to the reception room so that he can rest. I’ll go there right away.”“Okay.”Anna let o
She could not just abandon a famous artist who had finally gotten his come-up.Anna forced a smile and asked, “A ten-year contract is too long. Mr. Gibson, let’s take a step back. Can we sign it for one year?”“One year? Am I a beggar?”Elio ruthlessly said, “I told you that I’m here to inform you, not to discuss with you! You either sign a ten-year contract or quit the live streaming. Make your choice!”Anna gritted her teeth while she stared at Elio in hatred.She was thinking about it. Just as she was about to speak further, Thomas reached out to stop her.Thomas stared at Elio coldly and indifferently said, “You can get out of here now.”Hmm?Elio and Anna looked at Thomas at the same time, and both of them were stunned.“What do you mean?” Elio asked.“Don’t you understand what I just said? Artists of Scott’s Remembrance Cultural Arts Entertainment will not go to Shark Hunters for live streaming anymore. You can get out now.”Anna was shocked. She immediately stopped th
They chased Elio away and retained the dignity of Scott’s Remembrance Cultural Arts Entertainment. However, the direct consequence was God of Knives’ live-streaming channel, One-Armed Hero, would be shut down and never be reactivated again.This famous streamer, who had just been promoted, was instantly pulled down.Thomas did not feel upset. Instead, he went to Panda Live Broadcasting Company with Anna, and they met the boss, Dawn Marsh.In the reception room, Dawn asked, “The two of you have suddenly visited my company today. May I know why you’re here?”Thomas then opened the subject. “Let’s get straight to the point. I’ll be honest with you. Scott’s Remembrance Cultural Arts Entertainment wants to purchase and hold the shares of Panda Live Broadcasting Company.”“Um…” Dawn frowned. Thomas’ request was actually quite rude. How could he just come to Dawn’s office and talk about the purchase?Nevertheless, he did not feel bad about it. Instead, he felt a little surprised becau
“Website traffic is king in this era. Who are you without website traffic?“You dare to offend me? Haha! Just wait for death!”He pridefully watched his staff prepare all the ten channels while he waited for them to start live streaming at night.One God of Knives could become the topic of interest. Now, he had found a total of ten. Would the live streaming on Shark Hunters become extremely famous? Even if not all of them could be successful and only about three channels succeeded, he would still consider it a profit.The more he thought about it, the happier he felt.Very quickly, the sun went down, and it was 7.00 pm.Elio immediately informed the ten top chefs to start their live streams and perform their cooking skills for the audiences.He sat in front of a gigantic screen and opened all the live stream channels on full screen while he happily watched them.There was quite a number of audience members.The comments were also being speedily displayed.But… [What’s goi
No human power could stop flash floods from occurring. No matter what methods Elio used, he could not stop the audience from leaving. A big group of audience members had left for Panda to watch God of Knives’ live stream.The scarier point was that Anna understood men very well.She not only got God of Knives to stream live at 8.00 pm, but she had also arranged a big group of female streamers with gorgeous figures to stream before 8.00 pm. There were famous gaming streamers after that too.Therefore, once the audiences who came for God of Knives were tired and wanted to leave the channel, they would immediately be stopped by the beautiful female streamers and gaming streamers.She did not just milk and attract the website traffic that switched over because of God of Knives. Instead, she kept the whole website traffic to themselves!Her method was so well-played.In one week, with God of Knives’ popularity, Panda immediately rose and attracted a large group of audience members c
He had seen shameless people, but he had never seen people who could be that shameless.“Donell Cedar, you’re such a terrible jerk. I’m going to kill you!”“You… What do you want to do?”Seeing Elio run over, Donell immediately moved back. His bodyguards promptly stood in front of him and held Elio who had rushed over.“Donell Cedar, get over here! I’m going to kill you!”Donell threw the cigarette in his hand, shook his head, and said, “This man is mad. Throw him out.”“Yes!” A few bodyguards carried Elio outside. On the way, Elio kept growling loudly and spitting terrible words. In the end, the bodyguards threw him into the rubbish bin at the roadside like he was trash.Donell dug his ear. “Tsk! What kind of person is he? He’s so vulgar and rude!”He turned around and walked inside.While he walked, he thought about the recent events of Scott’s Remembrance Cultural Arts Entertainment.“You’re so great, Thomas. You’ve already made God of Knives famous, and now, you’re even
In the subsequent half a month, a dramatic change happened in the live streaming industry in Southland City.The shares of Panda Live Broadcasting were held by Scott’s Remembrance Cultural Arts Entertainment, and the company stood steadily in the first spot.Other than that, Lion Teeth in second place and War Horse in third sold their shares to Scott’s Remembrance Cultural Arts Entertainment for $2,000,000,000 and $1,100,000,000 respectively. Since then, the top three live streaming platforms had been dominated by Scott’s Remembrance Cultural Arts Entertainment.The scariest thing was that Scott’s Remembrance Cultural Arts Entertainment just held the shares without doing M&A.They did not arrange for their management staff to take over but still allowed the original staff to manage the companies. They just invested money without interfering with the management. Their only request was that they had to dominate the market.The three top live streaming companies were competitive, and
Twenty minutes later, he parked the car near the main company.Thomas walked to the company’s building, and from far away, he saw Emma standing at the entrance while waiting. At the same time, a man was standing beside her, and he would lean close to Emma at times.Emma clearly had a scornful expression, and she moved to the side.Yet, the man would shamelessly take one step forward. He continuously kept a very close distance with Emma, while his eyes eagerly stuck to her.Thomas frowned, and a glint of anger flashed across his eyes.“Thomas, you’re here!” Seeing that Thomas was there, Emma seemed to have found her savior. She immediately ran over and held Thomas’ arm.The man cast a glance at Thomas and sneered as if he looked down on Thomas.“Is this your husband who relies on you, Thomas Mayo?” the man asked.Emma looked unhappy and coldly answered, “This is my husband, Thomas. He purposely came to pick me up. Mr. Chapman, you can leave now.” “Who is he?” Thomas asked in a
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
