After ending the call, Neil went back to the hotel triumphantly and sat down. His previously troubled look had gone, and his face was full of smiles.Emma and Thomas exchanged glances, and they both showed puzzled expressions.“Have you two finished eating? I’ll ask for a check right now.“Waiter, come here. Check, please.”Not only was he not angry, but he also took the initiative and paid the check happily. Who would believe it if there was nothing wrong?Thomas quietly observed Neil, and he could not figure it out for the time being.Next, the three went to the other party’s company to negotiate. The process went smoothly. The other party sold the materials to the Hill family at a relatively low price. All the contracts were signed on the same day.By the time they left, it was already past seven o’clock in the evening. The sky was basically dark.Neil said, “I’ve arranged a hotel for you two. The presidential suite of Helen Hotel to ensure you two live comfortably tonight.
“Nothing. I’m just looking around.”As he spoke, Thomas looked at the socket under the television.He crouched down and looked closely.This socket was facing the bed. On the surface, it seemed that there was no problem at all, but Thomas keenly noticed a fingernail-sized square dent in the upper left corner of the socket.It seemed that that part could be turned.Thomas picked up a toothpick and fiddled with it. Then, he smiled.“What are you doing? It’s dangerous to poke the socket with a toothpick. Be careful of electric shocks.”Thomas stood up. “I know what I’m doing.”As he spoke, the door of the room was knocked.Knock. Knock. Knock.Thomas walked to the door and asked loudly, “Who is it?”“I’m the waiter, and I’m here to send you food.”Thomas opened the door and saw a waiter standing while holding a tray. On the tray were two plates of spaghetti and a few side dishes.The waiter smiled and said, “The gentleman who came with you guys remembered that you two hadn’t
As the God of War in the west coast, Thomas was not only a fighter, but he was also a highly talented investigator.If not, he would have been assassinated by people many times.As soon as he saw the intricate design inside the socket, he knew that something was wrong with the hotel. At first, he only thought the hotel was a shady hotel until the spaghetti was delivered. Thomas knew that the person who did all this would definitely not be someone from the hotel.Or maybe it was not just the people in the hotel.No matter how bold the people in the hotel were, they would only dare sneak peeks in. They would not dare to drug their customers.But to attempt drugging a person with such a heavy dosage was something else entirely.Thomas could only think of one person, Neil.Thomas only needed a single whiff to determine what drug was in the spaghetti. He got this angry because he was positive about it.He did not move and called Twelve Golden Zodiacs’ Pisces.Among the twelve zodia
He still wanted to leave?Thomas stepped on Neil’s shoulder and pinned him firmly to the floor. Then, he extended his hand and took a plate of spaghetti. He opened Neil’s mouth and poured all of it in, forcing him to eat the whole plate.Then, he let go of his leg.Neil was frightened, and his face turned pale. He knew what was inside the plate of spaghetti.After eating it, he would probably be driven made by his insatiable urges tonight.“Thomas, you…”He touched his head and felt uneasy as the drug was too strong.Thomas walked to him and took away the keys and phone.Then, he turned and walked toward the door.Neil wanted to follow, but Thomas kicked him back in.“You stay here.”Neil did not understand and asked, “Thomas, what do you mean? Why do you want me to stay here?”As soon as he finished speaking, he saw something move by the bed, and it shook off the blanket.A pig.A sow!Neil became extremely worried. With his cunning, he instantly understood what Thomas
Thomas took the elevator to the lobby on the first floor. As if nothing happened, his face was as calm as water.After he took two steps, he heard Emma call him, “Thomas!”Thomas was stunned, and he saw Emma walk over with many doggy bags.“You were in the toilet for forty minutes. Did you fall into the toilet?”Thomas scratched his head. “Er, my stomach just didn’t feel well.”Emma snorted and raised the doggy bags she was holding. She said, “I brought you a lot of delicious food. Let’s go back to the room and take our time to eat it.”As soon as she finished speaking, they heard a sharp woman’s scream from the hall.“A debauchee!”“A pervert!”Everyone looked over.The big screen in the lobby was originally playing the hotel’s promotional video, but they did not know why it had suddenly cut into a live-feed video of a room.Based on the angle and resolution, it seemed to be a candid camera.Being caught on a candid camera was not scary. What was scary was the content bein
Emma had called Neil many times, but the results were all the same. “The subscriber you have called is busy right now.”She smiled and said, “Sigh, Neil’s phone has been powered off since last night. It seems like this incident has caused great harm to him physically and psychologically.”But Emma did not know why, but she was feeling very happy. Although she did not want to admit it, she was ecstatic about Neil’s encounter.Thomas said, “You seem to be very happy.”Emma pouted. “I’m not. I won’t build my own happiness upon the suffering of other people.”Although Emma said that, she secretly smiled again after she turned her around.This incident was amusing.Not to mention that it was Neil who was hurt, so it was even more worthy of laughter.The two held hands and walked into the high-speed railway station.The journey was smooth.After they returned home, Emma received a call from Richard before she could sit down.“Hello, grandpa, what’s the matter?”“Emma, how did b
In the meeting room of Scott’s Remembrance Cultural Arts Entertainment Base’s office building, Anna sat down, looking a little troubled.“What’s wrong?” Thomas asked.Anna said, “The management team has been established, but there is still a shortage of talented people in all aspects. We lack a lot of actors, singers, authors, directors, screenwriters, and more,“At present, the outstanding and talented people are gathered in the Hegemony Entertainment, and they can’t be poached. It is difficult to challenge the dominance of Hegemony Entertainment with our people.”Thomas smiled. “That’s for sure. It wouldn’t be fun if we beat the Hegemony Entertainment so easily. They have been at the top for more than ten or twenty years. How could we surpass them overnight?“Don’t feel anxious, let’s just take it step by step. We shouldn't panic. We have to do it step by step and strengthen our base. Once the opportunity comes, we can surpass them.“Although Hegemony Entertainment is powerful
Only Thomas remained of the current Mayo family.He sat on the stairs in the park and raised his head to look at the sky.He remembered that every weekend afternoon, his father would bring him and his brother here to eat snacks while looking at the clouds in the sky.The days at that time were simple and happy.The scenery was still here today, but the people at that time were gone.“Thomas?”A woman’s voice came from not far away. Thomas turned around to take a look, and a smile inevitably appeared on his face.He knew this woman very well.She was a middle-aged woman in her forties. Although she was old, she still maintained a good figure.She also took care of her skin well, and there were no traces of aging.Her name was Iris Cruz. She was Nelson’s high school classmate, and she had had a crush on him for many years.After Nelson got married and had children, Iris was in despair for a long time. She was once depressed and wanted to commit suicide.After that, when Nelso
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
