There were more than just a lot of people. It was terrifying!There were one hundred Lincoln cars and about four hundred well-trained soldiers. How could an insignificant Darcy Davis afford to offend him?When the gangsters who received benefits from Darcy came to “work” and saw the situation, they quickly threw away their weapons. Nobody dared to make a move.“Well, Mr. Davis, I have something to do, so I have to leave now.“I have a little stomach ache, I’ll come back later.“We’ll talk again, Mr. Davis.”These gangsters were a motley crew. When they saw that Thomas had brought several hundred strong and muscular soldiers, they became so frightened that all of them ran away and did not care about Darcy whatsoever.In the end, only Darcy and Brendon were left on the spot.Thomas coldly asked, “Darcy, I’ve given you a chance to atone for your crimes, but you’ve chosen not to cherish it.”Darcy gritted his teeth and forcefully stood up.He chuckled and said, “Thomas Mayo, so w
“Hmph! I’m not bragging, even the director has to listen to me. He has to listen to whatever I say. Thomas, you’ve offended me, don’t even think of leaving alive.”Thomas slightly shook his head, and said, “So, you’re the one who has the final say in the Urban Construction Bureau, huh?” Suddenly, Thomas turned his head around to the huge cruise ship, and asked, “Director Morpheus, is this how it works in the Urban Construction Bureau?”‘Director Morpheus?’Holland shivered. He cast a glance at the cruise ship and saw no one there. He unwittingly heaved a sigh.“Still bluffing around here, huh?! I’ll certainly…”“Holland Jagger, come over!”A raucous voice was heard from the cruise ship. When Holland heard the sound, he was scared out of his wits. That voice was all too familiar to him.It was the same voice that he tried to curry favor with daily so that he could flaunt himself outside.The voice was from Noah Morpheus, the director of the Urban Construction Bureau.A midd
The moment Darcy saw Holland being arrested, his imposing manner totally disappeared.He knelt down in front of Thomas with a thud, and his tears streamed down his face. He kept crying as he said, “Mr. Mayo, I truly realize that it’s my fault. I shouldn’t have gone against you. I deserve it, but Scott and I used to partner up as close colleagues. Could you please let me off the hook this time?” Partnered up?Close colleagues? Thomas spoke in a low and angry tone. “Do you really think I have no idea how you worked together with Skyworld Enterprise to set my brother up?”Darcy’s complexion instantly turned pale, so he kept touching his head to the floor.“Actually, Skyworld Enterprise forced me to do those things. They gave the orders, and I was just an insignificant person who executed their orders. I really didn’t plan the conspiracy to set Scott up.“You can also see for yourself. Although I’m the chairman of Shalom Technology, I have to obey Skyworld Enterprise in everything
His beloved Second Young Master finally had an honorable end. Ben walked to the grave, only to find those people who kneeled on the ground were employees from the Shalom Technology and led by none other than the chairman, Darcy Davis. Ben was so excited that he simply wanted to do a dance.“Serves you right, Darcy!“God has done justice for the second young master!”Thomas walked over to him. He reached out to hold Ben and said “Uncle Ben, don’t get too excited. Be careful of catching a cold.”Ben wiped his tears, and said, “Young Master, you’ve done it splendidly! Not only does the second young master have an honorable end, but you also have these culprits who have contributed to his death kneeling down before his grave. Well done!“Young Master, I’m truly happy to see how successful you are!“The Mayo family is filled with hope!”Looking at Ben who was getting increasingly excited, Thomas hurriedly asked his man to come over to look after him. Thomas was afraid that anythi
Emma was dumbfounded as she was led by Thomas to a car.The car door was opened, and two men stepped out of the car. They were Richard and Harvard. They had been waiting there for a very long time and had seen Thomas’ actions earlier.In the beginning, Richard had felt surprised and even regretted his impulsive decision to cut off ties with Thomas. However, after he had sent someone to do some digging on Thomas, he found out this was possible because Thomas had saved a powerful general officer, not because he had a lot of power.When people owed you a favor, they would help you once, but they would not keep helping you. In the end, Thomas was just a trash person who relied on others.“Grandpa, Harvard, you really came.” Emma felt a little surprised as she spoke. Richard nodded slightly and shifted his attention to Thomas.“Thomas, you look so distinguished today.“Not too shabby.“Haha, but, do you know that your excellence today might make you lose miserably in the future?”
Apart from Thomas and Emma, many others had also come for the bidding this time. Representatives from the nationwide well-known super large manufacturing companies, as well as local, lesser-known small factories were also present.In fact, the Hill family was considered a secondary family only in Shaol. Now, the three districts had merged into a Southland district. The Hill family’s rank had fallen even more. Basically, they were ranked at the bottom of the secondary level. The attendees for the bidding this time round included prestigious great families from Southland City. The Hill family did not have the upper hand. However, everyone could perceive that the reconstruction project after the demolition would certainly be a lucrative sinecure. This was because in addition to the original Shaol, certain parts from the two districts, Oceania Hail and Desert Cele along the river as a result of the merging, would also be part of the construction plan.Therefore, this was a huge p
Harvard was getting ready when he turned around and saw that Thomas, as well as Emma, were also there. He subconsciously laughed out loud.“My vision isn't blurry, right? What are both of you doing here? Are you enjoying the scenery?”Thomas looked over. “We’re doing the same thing as you.”“Haha, are you also here to bid? This is hilarious. Who are you to be here?”“Thomas, do you still want to rely on the general officer to help you out?“I’m telling you, this bidding isn’t a memorial service. You can’t fool anyone here!”Richard waved his hand. “Stop talking. No matter what happens, Emma is still one of the Hill family members. There’s no disadvantage for us if she participates in the bidding. The more people, the stronger we are.”“Grandpa, I’m just afraid that they’ll make things worse.”Richard frowned. He contemplated for a while before he said to Emma, “Harvard’s right. Emma, you better go back. Harvard and I are enough to represent the Hill family here. If the deputy d
“You two should stop daydreaming.“The bidding is certainly in my bag! You guys should just get lost! Hahaha!”Harvard laughed as he entered the office.At that moment, Richard’s palm was full of sweat. He nervously stared at the entrance of the office. ‘Those who went in before couldn’t stay more than a minute. I wonder if Harvard could…’ Just as Richard was imagining various kinds of possibilities, Harvard had already walked out.It only took ten seconds from the time he entered to the time he walked out.The time spent was short.It was the shortest time spent. Thus far, it was the shortest time spent among the participants. The crowd cast teasing glances at him. “Haha! What family did he come from? How embarrassing to be blown out the moment he just went in, right?”“He seems to come from the Hill family’s melt manufacturing. Tsk! Tsk! The Hill family is at least considered to be a secondary family, how awkward it is to be kicked out just like that.”“Could be due to
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
