Thomas reached out to her. “Have you borrowed money from any other people besides Ballard?”“Yeah, I have.”“Pass me your phone and tell me all the people whom you’ve borrowed money from.”“Okay.”Thomas took her phone, jotted down the names, and sent them to Samson. Then, he passed the phone back to Susan.“From now on, you’re no longer in debt.”“Huh? There are a few hundred thousand dollars in total. Have you paid all of it back?” Susan asked in shock.“Yeah.” Susan was completely stunned. This man was so astonishing to her.She had looked down on Thomas and attacked him with the most wicked words earlier. Yet, he was not angry now, and he had even helped her to pay back all her debts.He had repaid her outrage with goodwill.Susan really did not know how she should repay his kindness.“Why are you so good to me?”“Because you’re Emma’s cousin.”Thomas stepped on the accelerator, started the car, and left. Behind them, Ballard and his gang respectfully took a bow.“G
Johnson’s family stared at Susan strangely because they were puzzled as to why she would suddenly say something like that.However, Susan did not care, and she continued to eat her food.Emma coughed awkwardly. “Susan, are you lacking a man? I heard that your mother’s been introducing men to you in recent months. I guess there might be up to one hundred men, right?”“Bah! It’s not that exaggerated! But, there really are so many of them that I can’t even remember.”“Why didn’t you like any of them?”Susan sighed. “Those men came to the blind dates because I look pretty. They weren’t sophisticated at all. I don’t like them.” Johnson frowned. “Everyone doesn’t know each other on blind dates, and it all depends on your first impression. I also heard from your parents that you didn’t like any of them. You even got a big amount of money from the men each time you attended a blind date. It made the men say ‘the vampire is coming’ whenever they heard your name.”Susan stuck her tongue
Susan nodded.“The medical expenses, surgery fee, and instrument fee are very expensive. If I don’t care for him, he’ll die in three days because of his sickness.”Thomas felt warm inside. He really did not expect Susan to be so kind.Unlike her outward appearance, this girl, who dressed up attractively and even seemed like a gangster, was gentle as well as kind.“I got it.” Thomas started the engine. “Which hospital?”“Third Southland General Hospital.”“Buckle your seatbelt.”Half an hour later, the car was parked in the hospital’s parking lot. Thomas and Susan then arrived at the ward.Before they went inside, a middle-aged man who was dressed like a doctor called out to them.“Susan.”“Dr. Payne?”“Please come to my office.”Victor Payne was Mr. Redfern’s attending physician. He had been responsible for Mr. Redfern’s surgery, treatment, and medication.After they entered the office, Victor invited Thomas and Susan to sit down.He looked slightly dispirited. “Susan, I
Susan immediately became alarmed. She was not a silly woman, so she naturally realized that Victor was trying to take advantage of the situation.Victor had liked Susan from the first time he saw her.As the University of Foreign Studies’ beauty queen, the youthful and cheerful aura that Susan emitted made her very attractive. Added with her slender figure and extremely delicate features, many men fell for her.Victor was not the first man who wanted Susan, and he would definitely not be the last man.Susan’s expression was cold, and she did not know how she should answer for a time.She was naturally not willing to accept his terms. However, if she dared to say “No”, Mr. Redfern could die at any minute. She could not be impulsive. She had to remain calm.“What do you think? Are you willing, Susan?“I’m actually only ten years older than you, so there won’t be a generation gap between us. Besides, my job and income are quite good. If you marry me, you won’t suffer any loss.“I
Everyone immediately stood up.“Hi, Mr. Payne.”Timothy nodded. “Assemble a few staff members to follow me to Third Southland General Hospital now.” Mr. Reid was stunned. Why did the deputy director want to go as well?He spoke to test Timothy out. “Mr. Payne, it will be enough if we go and handle it ourselves. Why are you personally going? Don’t worry, I guarantee that nothing will happen to the young master.”“The young master?” Timothy frowned. “Are you talking about Victor? What’s wrong with him again?”Mr. Reid was taken aback. “Don’t you know about it, Mr. Payne? The young master just called me to send a few staff over. He said that someone there is creating a fuss by questioning him about the price of the drugs.”“Huh?” Timothy secretly muttered. It could not be so coincidental, right?The head office of three districts had called over and said that the chief officer in charge had asked him to go to Third Southland General Hospital. He was also required to investigate
Along with hurried footsteps, the staff of FDA arrived in Third Southland General Hospital.Victor put his cup down and said with an unserious attitude, “Look, there is absolutely no problem with my list.”Before he finished his words, the door was opened, and a middle-aged man brought some people to walk into the room.“You guys are finally here.”“Why did you come so slowly this time? You’ve made me wait for a long time.“Do you believe that I’ll fire all of you later?”Facing the staff of FDA, Victor was similarly bad-tempered. He did not care about them at all.The middle-aged man took off his tophat, and he coldly asked, “Who do you want to fire?”When Victor heard the voice, he was immediately so shocked that he got up from the chair. He widened his eyes and carefully looked at the person before he instantly became stunned.“Dad?“Dad, why are you here?“You can just let Mr. Reid come to handle this kind of small matter.”When Victor saw that Timothy personally came,
Other people initially wanted to come forward and stop Timothy, but he angrily yelled, “Everyone, step back! I’ll beat whoever dares to come forward and stop me!”Slap! Slap! Slap!Again and again, he beat Victor very hard, and painful screams were heard in the room.Susan was totally dumbfounded.She pulled Thomas by the arm. “Wha-what’s happening?”Thomas smiled. “It’s simple. There is a problem with the list. Mr. Payne can’t bear it, so he punishes his son for justice.”“Is it so simple?”“Otherwise?”Susan pouted. “Why do I feel that you’re the one who secretly plays tricks?”Thomas smiled without saying anything.Timothy ruthlessly beat his son for twenty minutes. It made Victor faint because of the pain all over his body.“This is the hospital. Don’t need to be so troublesome. Just ask the nurses over to carry him out.”His subordinates looked at each other before they immediately called the nurses over to help out.Timothy threw the broom away. He gasped while walki
After Thomas sent Susan back home, he hurriedly had his dinner and slept.The next morning, Thomas woke up early and left the house. Then, he rushed to Swan Restaurant at 166 Jewel Road.As soon as he pushed open the door, he heard the boss asking, “May I take your order?”“Uncle Ben, it’s me.”“Young Master?”This restaurant was opened by Ben. Since he left Shalom Technology, Ben did not have any skills. He was quite good at cooking, so he used his savings to open a small restaurant.The restaurant was just opened three days ago.Ben immediately arranged Thomas’ seat. Then, he prepared a few side dishes and a dozen beers.He poured a cup for Thomas.“Young Master, why are you so free to come to my place today?”Thomas glanced around. “Uncle Ben, your restaurant seems pretty decent.”“It’s just so-so. I just earn a living.”Thomas took a sip of the beer, put the cup down, and spoke seriously, “Uncle Ben, based on your ability, you’re wasting your talent to run a restaurant
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
