“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.”

    “How dare you!” Richard slammed the chair and yelled. Nobody had ever dared to speak to him in such a tone. Even Donald, who held a high post also smiled when they met. Yet, a lousy grandson-in-law like Thomas dared to question him. It was ridiculous!“Thomas Mayo, who do you think you are?“You don’t have the right to speak in the Hill family!”Thomas was not angry. He just spoke nonchalantly to Emma. “You can go in for the bidding.”Richard sneered, “Sure, you can go. You can show me how a woman does something that a man can’t. But, bear in mind that your bidding is your personal action, and it has nothing to do with us!”Emma was in an awkward situation. She felt terrible for being caught in the middle of the men.She sighed, stood up, and walked to the small office, which had been built temporarily.Harvard spoke as if he was gloating. “Grandpa, I bet that she’ll be chased out in ten seconds.”Richard coldly said, “She’s asking for it. You become influenced by the people

    Richard snapped in, “I’ve mentioned to you before that the lousy company of yours contributes nothing in the bidding. So, it’s only natural to fail. Come, go back with me. Stop listening to that rascal’s nonsense. He would only put you to shame.”The two of them were about to leave.It was only then Emma said softly, “Grandpa, Harvard, I’ve signed the contract.”“Okay, I knew it.“Huh?!“What?!”Originally, Richard had not been able to react to her words. After taking two steps out, he turned his head around and stared at Emma. He confirmed with her once again, “Say it clearly, what contract is that?” Emma handed over the contract to him, and said, “I’ve signed the bidding contract for the construction project.”A loud bang rang in Richard’s head like a thunderstorm. Never in his wildest dream would he expect Emma had truly done it.“That’s impossible!”Harvard was also caught by surprise, and said, “Emma, don’t try to lie your way out of it!”“The contract is here. You cou

    “If there’s nothing else, we’ll be leaving now.”Thomas held Emma’s hand as he walked past Richard and Harvard pridefully. It made Richard so angry that he trembled.He had lived his entire life proudly. When had he ever been humiliated?Two of them then got into the car.Emma carefully stored the contract before she drove the car and left.On the way, she asked, “Cillian said someone submitted a proposal to him in advance. Was it you?”Thomas nodded. “It was me.”“I knew it. Otherwise, it would’ve been impossible for things to go so smoothly. How did you do it?”“It’s actually all a coincidence. An old comrade of mine is working in the Urban Construction Bureau now. When we chatted earlier, the reconstruction came up, so I asked someone to make a proposal and submit it to him. Then, I asked him to pass it to Mr. Wall. Who would have known that Mr. Wall was very satisfied as soon as he read it? Hence, he made the decision. At that time, I submitted it under your name, and that’

    “How dare he?! How dare he do this?!”“Thomas is just a son-in-law who relies on his wife. Who is he to act arrogantly in front of me? He is ridiculous! Darn it!”Harvard slowly walked inside and said, “Grandpa, don’t get angry. Actually, this matter can still be solved.”“Can it be solved? How can we solve this?”Harvard then said, “Grandpa, although you let Emma enter the bid with her subsidiary company, you just agreed to it verbally. You didn’t even put it down in black and white. If you don’t want to honor it, what else can she do?“Also, didn’t you also establish her subsidiary company? It is also a part of the Hill family! Even if Emma wants to take over the huge project alone, our family wouldn’t allow her!“In other words, is Emma even capable of handling the project on her own? Without our family’s help, will she have any money, manpower, and technique? She has nothing! How can she carry out the project?”When Richard listened to Harvard’s words, they made sense to him

    At night, after dinner, Johnson called Thomas over to sit next to him on the couch.“Thomas, do you know why I asked you to come over?”Thomas shook his head.Johnson scoffed and felt disappointed. “I called you here to remind you to find something to do when you’re free. Don’t keep wandering around and doing nothing. You can also see that Emma is a beautiful woman who has signed a big contract. She is becoming capable.“But what about you? You do nothing all day long, and you’re just relying on a woman. Does that make sense?“You’re totally not good enough for our Emma now!”Emma walked over, and she looked unhappy.“Dad, how could you criticize Thomas like that?”“Why can’t I say that?” Johnson seemed serious. “I’m stating facts. You are now the person in charge of the big project, and you’ll be earning a few hundred million dollars. You’re getting wealthy. Would a lousy man be suitable for you?”“Dad!”“Anyway, Thomas is not good for you at this point.” Johnson then pointe

    “How could they do this to me?“No way! I need to talk to them!”Thomas immediately pulled her. “You don’t have to.”“Why? Do we just abruptly give away the contract, which we’ve signed, to the family? Grandpa would rather give Jade the advantage to Jade than give me any benefits even though I was the one who secured the contract. He’s gone too far.”Thomas said, “Calm down first. You don’t have to feel anxious about this.”“Why?”“Because other than you, nobody from the Hill family can take this project.”Emma was stunned. “But, we’ve signed the contract. It’s too late for even the Urban Construction Bureau to regret it.”“Contract and real work are two different things.“Emma, don’t worry, you’ll carry out this project. Nobody can take it away from you.“Didn’t Grandpa grant you a two-day leave? That’s great. We can leave the city now. What about we take a flight and travel?”Emma was confused. “Um…” “Listen to me. Nothing will go wrong. Let’s go.”Thomas brought Emma w

    “I understand.” Richard appeared to be quite upset. He reached out to point at Harvard. “Give Emma a call. Ask her to come over immediately.”“I got it, Grandpa.”Beep!Beep!The call was finally picked up after it rang for almost one minute.Harvard was angry, and he fiercely said, “Emma, why did you take so long to answer the call? Hurry up and come to the company now.”In the end, a male voice was heard on the other end of the line. “Is that you, Harvard? Excuse me, Emma can’t go.”Everyone could hear that it was Thomas’ voice.“What do you mean?” Harvard asked.“Didn’t Grandpa give Emma two days of leave? So, I brought Emma to Santa Bay. We’re sunbathing on the beach now, therefore, we can’t go back immediately.”“How dare you!”Harvard was furious. They were still in the mood for sunbathing in Santa Bay at such a critical time?“Pass me the phone,” Richard yelled.He took the phone and intentionally suppressed his anger. “Stop playing, Thomas. We’re discussing the con

    She had finally forced her grandfather to surrender today.Two of them had fun for the whole day before they leisurely took a flight back to Southland City. By the time they returned, the sky had turned totally dark.Richard had purposely sent someone to the airport to pick them up and bring them back to the company. He was afraid that Thomas might cause a problem on the way again.When the two of them arrived in the meeting room, it was nearly 9.00 pm.The meeting room was full of people, and Cillian calmly made his way to the Hill family’s office building again.Richard sighed in relief. “So, can we officially start the meeting now?”Emma stood up and organized the proposal again before she talked about every detail. The meeting went on until 7.00 am the next day.The meeting was held for the whole night.After all the discussions were finished, Cillian kept complimenting Emma.“Well done! You’re impressive! I’ve indeed made the right decision to choose you.“Ms. Hill, I fe

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
