In the entire hotel, everyone else was immersed in Gemma’s singing. Only the Robinson family were feeling uncomfortable as if they had just eaten a dead fly.There was thunderous applause, accompanied by joyous singing and dancing.There was a joyful smile on everyone’s face.Johnson Hill was as happy as a child and his arms were moving to go with the beat. He was following Gemma by wriggling and twisting his body out of joy.Emma covered her face and kept a certain distance from Johnson. She was ashamed of having such a naive father and did not wish to be recognized by others.The duration of a song was not that long and was over in three or four minutes.Everyone at the venue felt uncomfortable and hoped that Gemma would stay longer.Gemma said in a coquettish tone, “Well, I can stay a little longer, but what I said doesn’t count, and you have to ask my good friend, Mr. Thomas.”Everyone started following the direction where Gemma’s finger was pointing and landed their gaze o
‘There are more meals to come?’‘I have been humiliated so much today that I would never want to have another meal with Jonathan again!’Jack snorted coldly, “I’m full, so I’m heading home first. See you at the company tomorrow.”Jonathan nodded repeatedly, “Okay, okay, see you at the company tomorrow.”Jack took Cecilia and Hugo with him and left the hotel in a desperate manner. Everyone’s face was full of unhappiness, and they had almost exploded with anger.For many years, Jack had never lost so thoroughly like today.He had brought in his son-in-law from overseas to help him out and still ended up in a disastrous defeat. He found this to be truly unacceptable.One party was sad, and the other party was happy.Jonathan had proved himself today.He had been ‘fighting’ with Jack for so many years, and today was the most thorough and joyful victory!He patted Thomas on his shoulder and said, “Good son-in-law, I have blamed you unjustly.”“When you said that you were inviting
After Emma left the hotel, she did not walk too fast, but strolled slowly on the road.She stopped for a while every two steps.From time to time, she would look back to see if Thomas had followed her closely behind.As a result, she found out that there was no one following her, not even one single person! She stomped her feet with anger and pursed her lips.“Rotten Thomas!”“Just be together with your Gemma, I won’t bother you anymore!”She turned around and left.After taking two steps forward, she unconvincingly stopped and looked back. She was so aggrieved that she almost broke out in tears.At that moment, Thomas had just run out after being spurred by Jonathan. He started walking in Emma’s direction.“Emma!”Emma, who was still in rage, was suddenly beaming with delight.Then, she deliberately pretended to be very angry again, turned around and walked forward. However, she did not go too fast. In her heart, she could not wait for Thomas to catch up with her.She coun
“Okay.”The two of them came to the parking lot while holding hands. When Emma opened the car door and was about to go onboard, Thomas hesitated.He stared at the car for a long time and asked, “Isn’t this a Porsche? Gemma, when did you buy a new car?”Gemma smiled, “Have you forgotten that my car is broken? It’s still under repair. This Porsche is Gilbert’s car. Anyway, he has been spending time at home these days and left his car at the company. I’m just ‘borrowing it’ for a test drive.”“So, that’s how this happened, and this car is Gilbert’s?”“Yes, get in the car.”Since Thomas had drunk some alcohol, he could not drive. He sat directly in the passenger seat and let Gemma drive home.Gemma was driving the Porsche on the wide road, and kept it safe and reasonable.Halfway through the drive, she felt a little hot and opened the car window. This was a truly satisfying experience for her to drive while allowing in the cool breeze.At that moment, a silver-white GTR was tailga
Thomas could care less. He continued to speed up. In the blink of an eye, he reached so closely to the GTR in front he was practically tailgating him. He might be speeding, but Thomas did not panic in the slightest. In fact, the car was extremely stable, and sitting in it was very comfortable. Emma was rather surprised. When did Thomas gain such advanced driving skills?Could it be that he was always this outstanding, but she never knew about it?Inside the GTR, Mr. Headband kept driving on. From the rearview mirror, he saw the Porsche catching up to them. Freckles laughed by the side. “Hey, Bro, they’re catching up.”Headband laughed coolly. “Who does he think he is?”Stomping on the accelerator, the GTR zoomed forward with its massive horsepower. They immediately lost the Porsche. Based on specifications, the GTR’s horsepower was a lot higher than Thomas’s Porsche. So while accelerating on straight roads, the Porsche was lacking quite a bit. Emma let out a sigh. “Thomas
“Yep, that's a drift. Never thought that we could meet such an unmatched expert in a place like this.”Freckles looked at the Cola bottle in his hand. “We just don't know who that person is.”Headband said, “He must be a professional racer to have skills of that level. Southland district really is full of hidden talents. We got defeated on our very first day here. Let's go back first and tell our big bro about this. We have to find the owner of that Porsche. If such an excellent talent joined our race team, our hopes of getting gold this year will increase greatly!”Headband drove the GTR far out and left.Nobody noticed a dark black car tailing not far behind them. There was a man and a woman in the car. The woman was holding a camera and wearing glasses. She laughed and said, “We originally wanted to snap a few photos of the Volant race team to publish some sidebars. I didn't expect to snap such incredible pictures.”“The third man on the Volant race team and the second-be
The next morning, Thomas drove Emma to the main company building. He parked the car in an empty lot. Just as the two of them got down from the car, they saw Harvard rush over in a huff. “Emma, who let you drive my car?” Harvard asked impatiently.Emma shrugged her shoulders. “I sent my car for repairs for these two days, so I borrowed yours for a while. Relax, I won't be using it for today.”“Borrow? You said nothing to me! This is stealing!”Harvard took his car to the side and checked it up and down. His heart was bleeding at the sight. “Ah, ahh. Why is my car so dirty?”Emma hastily pulled Thomas to leave quietly. Harvard was still fussing about his car getting dirty. When he turned back, he had already lost sight of Emma. “Emma, you’d better pay me back for my darling car!”Just as he was towering in rage, a journalist lady wearing spectacles walked over. Next to her was a strong man holding a camera. “Excuse me, are you the owner of this Porsche?” Harvard turned b
When the article was released, it was spread out far and wide. A low profile racing Legend; a godlike professional racer.It was enough to hit the hearts of racing enthusiasts each and every time. Even the normal bystanders started to idolize this legendary racer.Over the next few days, girls kept coming up to him from all the fame. They all came to either gift him flowers or ask for autographs. Some even went as far as to offer themselves to bear Harvard's brats.Within a few short days, Harvard Hill had become the talk of the town. He had become the top racing legend in the Southland district.Everyone knew that there was an incredible person from the Hill family in Southland. Harvard was showered in praise and flowers; it was a sight to envy.This day, Emma sat on the sofa in her house, as she scrolled through one after another of Harvard's news. Her face was almost green with fury. In the end, she slammed her phone on the table.“It's infuriating. I'm so pissed off!”
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
