Cuyler's trick worked like a charm every single time. When girls were out and about, they had absolutely no resistance against good-looking and rich men. However, his plans did not work this time around.Susan held on to Thomas's arm even tighter. “The second floor, is it? My darling will bring me up. Thanks so much for your kind intentions.”Hmm?Cuyler’s outreached hand awkwardly hung in the air.He slowly took his hand back and rubbed his nose, saying, “Ms. Susan. I don’t think you understand Stellar Jewelers’ second floor well enough, that's why you’re saying such things. When you really go up into the area, then you'll know what I meant just now.”“Is that so?” Susan pulled Thomas and walked towards the stairway. “Then we'll go to the 2nd floor to check it out now.”Just as they reached the stairway, a security guard blocked them. They could not pass through!A security guard explained, “The second floor is not open to regular customers. Only honorary guests verified by
“I didn’t know that you would come to me.”“We’ve seen foolish people, but we’ve never seen such an ignorant person. How could you still come to us after stealing the card?”“Everyone, come and arrest him!”The security guard insisted that Thomas stole the card.In fact, other than that possibility, the security guard really did not know how Thomas could still own the honorary VIP card.Most importantly, the security guard was very familiar with every important person who owned the honorary VIP card.Whenever they attended training, there would be a specialized class for them to become familiar with these honorary clients so that they would not accidentally offend them.The security guard had attended the class for a long time, yet he had never seen Thomas’ face.That was no surprise. After all, Thomas had just gotten the card this morning when he was on the plane. So, it was impossible for the security guard to know what he looked like.After the security guard made some gues
Nobody thought that the ordinary-looking Thomas would have such ability.Most importantly, nobody saw how he did it. His speed was so high that they did not catch his movements.Cuyler was an important client of Stellar Jewelers, so he could not be easily offended.The security guard felt worked up, and he quickly called his other colleagues over to deal with Thomas.“Come and arrest this man!“You dare to make a scene in Stellar Jewelers. Haha! I’ll teach you how to spell ‘death’ today!”A big group of security guards immediately rushed out. Every one of them was holding a baton, and all of them were armed.It was one person versus twenty people.Nobody took Thomas seriously.Right then, a group of people surrounded an old lady while they walked into the shop together.“Stop.”The old lady’s voice was heard, and everyone stopped their actions. All of them respectfully stood still.When the security guard saw the old lady, he was so shocked that he trembled and dared not br
Cuyler was so surprised that he could not say anything.No matter what, he was quite rich. He also often did his shopping there, and he was considered a regular customer.However, the madame had put him on the blacklist without any hesitation just for a poor guy. Who the heck was this Thomas Mayo?He did not understand it.The madame did not give him any chance to think either. She waved her hand, and a few bodyguards immediately came over to push Cuyler out of the shop.The madame turned back before she smiled faintly and said to Thomas, “Dr. Mayo, I haven’t had the time to thank you properly for the incident this morning. I’m really sorry for causing you some trouble.“Thomas waved his hand. “You’re welcome, Madame.”The madame reached out to point at the second floor. “It’s dinner time, Dr. Mayo. Please give me a chance to thank you or make it up to you. Are you willing to have a meal with me?”She was being so friendly, how could he reject her?Thomas then looked over at S
Susan’s face turned red like a ripened apple, and she subconsciously lowered her head.Her affection slowly rose to the surface.The madame smiled. She ordered her staff to open the drawer and personally took out the jade necklace.“Come, let’s try to put it on.”The madame purposely played a “mischievous trick” as she handed the necklace to Thomas so that he could put it on Susan.At that moment, Susan realized what happiness meant.She closed her eyes and felt the moment.The madame was right. She should not think about what would happen in the future or whether they could get together. Those things were not important. All she needed to do was enjoy the moment.At least now, this man belonged to her.Even though she was just pretending that he belonged to her, it was enough.Thomas personally put the jade necklace on for Susan, and right then, tears dropped from the corner of Susan’s eye.They were tears of happiness.Why are you crying?”“No, nothing.”Susan turned bac
His voice, especially when he spoke, was like fingernails scratching glass, and it made people feel tingly when they heard it.This man was the madame’s second son, Anthony Quinn.Anthony looked at Thomas. “Did they say that you’re good at drinking?”Thomas politely smiled without answering. Anthony pointed at himself. “Do you know who I am? I never get drunk. People always call me Drunken Fairy. How can you call yourself good at drinking in front of me? Bah!”Susan looked unhappy. What was wrong with this person? He offended Thomas as soon as he arrived like a mad person.She wanted to argue, but Thomas stopped her.Arguing with such a person would not lead to any good outcome. Besides, they were guests, and he was the host, so it was not appropriate for them to argue. Most importantly, if they had a dispute with Zach, it would embarrass the madame.It was not worth it.However, Zach could not bear the sight. “Anthony, stop fussing about here. Dr. Mayo is our mother’s savior
In such a situation, if you cared about your dignity, there was no reason for you to refuse a drink.Not to mention, Zach was someone who cared about his dignity.“Hmph! Aren’t there just three bowls of whisky?“I’ll drink!”Zach walked to the table and reached out to pick up a bowl. However, he sensed the pressure of a strong hand. He could not even move out of the grip.It was only after he raised his head that he realized Thomas was holding him back.“Dr. Mayo?”Thomas gently said, “Mr. Quinn, looking at your complexion and aura, your liver isn’t simply afflicted with a small disease. If you usually take care of yourself, you’ll be fine. But once you drink alcohol, you’ll definitely die.”He made it sound very terrifying.It was especially more terrifying when it was from a doctor.Anthony sneered. “Hey, stop acting. Do you really think that I can’t tell?“You have no sincerity at all. Haha! Does such a person still want to inherit the position of our family head?“Bah!”
Gradually, Anthony could not bear it anymore. He had drunk eight bowls of whisky... Eight big bowls!The bowls were usually used to contain soup, but the bowls were now being filled with whisky. A normal person would have felt dizzy and vomited at that point. The fact that Anthony could still stand indicated that he had a pretty good drinking capacity.He looked at Thomas again. Thomas’ face had not turned red, and he was not breathing heavily. He leisurely filled up three more bowls with whisky.“Come again?”Anthony secretly grumbled in his mind. ‘Is Thomas a human being? He’s a freak.’In total, Thomas had drunk twenty-four bowls of whisky. Why was he not drunk yet?Even if he was not drunk, he should be full, right?Anthony had drunk alcohol for so many years. It was his first time encountering a compatible opponent. He suddenly slammed the table and growled, “Come again. Come again!”He picked up a bowl to drink its content.However, because he had drunk too much, he co
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
