Ryan had gone to a bar with his friends and fallen for a dancer named Vany.After they were in a long relationship, Ryan fell deeply in love with her, so he wanted to marry Vany. But, how was it possible for Parker to agree?A man from a big family marrying a dancer?That was ridiculous!It was fine when he just went to have fun with her. But, if he wanted to be serious and marry her, it could just be a dream.Parker did not agree to the marriage at all.As a result, the two of them had been in a serious dispute.Ryan had fallen deeply in love. Since he could not get his father’s permission, he decided to bring Vany away, which was considered eloping.At that time, Ryan had been grounded by his family. If he wanted to run away, he had to get help from somebody.Therefore, he had gone to his elder brother who had grown up with him since he was little, Conley.Conley had promised to help him, but he had secretly told their father about Ryan’s plan to elope. That night, Ryan and
The only reason Ryan had not chosen to commit suicide was that he wanted to see Vany again. A glance was enough.As such, he had put in a lot of effort to look for Vany.There had been no outcome to his search, and all his hard work had been in vain. Parker had guarded Ryan, so he had put in a lot of effort when he sent Vany away.No matter how smart Ryan was, he could not find any clue even after he cracked his head for a long time.That was the pain in his heart.Conley knew his pain, so he smiled and said, “My brother, I know what your aim of staying alive is. Let’s make a deal. If you get rid of someone for me, I’ll tell you where Vany was sent, and where she is now.”“What?”Ryan was shocked. “Stop lying! When Parker sent her away, he did not expose any information to anyone. How could you know about it?”Conley shrugged. “I initially didn’t, but since I’ve become the head of the family and I can check all the orders, I noticed a very strange encrypted order. It was made b
No matter how noble she was, no matter how educated and well-mannered she was, she was just a woman. She did not have any resistance toward “discounts”.Emma stared at her broken car while she thought about the discount.“If we don’t use it, it’ll be our great loss. Since our car has also broken down, why don’t we take the opportunity to replace it?“But, how much does it cost for a new car?”Thomas waved his hand. “You don’t have to worry about that. I earned some money recently. I think it should be enough.”“Are you sure?”“Yes.”“It’s your turn to pay for it this time.” Emma’s side as a smart woman had been shown vividly, and it made Thomas feel happy when he saw it.“Of course I will pay for it.”The two of them made the promise.The next morning, before the alarm rang, Emma woke up very early to get ready. She usually loved to sleep a little longer, but she was extremely motivated today because she wanted to buy a car with a discount.She dragged Thomas out of bed an
The man was Lucian Lopez. He used to be the associate chairman of the student association when he was in university.Lucian was not only handsome with outstanding academic results, but he was also excellent in sports. His family background was also quite rich.A man with very perfect conditions in all aspects was naturally the prince in every girl’s eyes.Ordinary women were not good enough for him.Only Emma, the only beauty queen recognized by the whole school, could make Lucian fall for her.Emma’s beauty had made all boys in school fall for her.She had naturally also caught Lucian’s eyes.Lucian had written love letters to Emma and even asked her out for a meal as well as movie dates. He had even gotten the members of the student association to help him.He had used all the methods that he could think of, but he failed!Emma was not interested in Lucian.Perhaps it was more accurate to say that Emma was not interested in relationships. At that time, Emma did not understa
Emma directly laughed. Her gloominess was instantly released.She did not know that Thomas was such a dull person, but he was quite sharp-tongued when he scolded people.Yeah, Lucian had pursued Emma, but he was despised. Was he not a low-grade man?Jolie was not as good as Emma, and she was just a second choice after the best. Was she not a low-grade woman?Thomas was really sharp-tongued.Jolie was so angry that she kept stomping. “Dear, did you hear what he said? I don’t care, quickly help me to vent my anger!”Lucian was furious. He gently let go of Jolie’s hand and walked toward Thomas.Because he was gifted in sports, and he usually loved sports, normal people were not as good as his physical ability, and he was also half a head taller than Thomas.So, he did not care about Thomas at all.He walked to Thomas, and the first thing he said was, “Go away from Emma. You're trash. You’re not good enough to stand beside Emma!”Haha!Was an outsider needed to comment whether t
A few security guards came over and surrounded Thomas and Emma. They were "inviting" them to leave based on their supervisor’s request.Thomas inserted both hands into his pockets and indifferently said, “Both of us came to buy a car. Do you really need to give us a different treatment?”The supervisor chuckled. He sized Thomas up before he said, “You’re buying a car? Do you know how much a car costs here? How much do you earn in a month? Are you good enough to buy a car here?”Lucian got up from the floor. He fiercely glared at Thomas and suddenly said, “Since he is here to buy a car, please just let him go in to take a look.”Hmm?Jolie and the supervisor looked at Lucian. They did not know why his attitude had suddenly changed.Actually, Lucian did not suddenly become kind. He just wanted to take revenge.If he just let Thomas leave like this, did he just get beaten up in vain?However, if Lucian let Thomas go in, he had tons of methods to fool Thomas. Although he could not
The store became silent.No sound was heard at all.After it remained silent for more than twenty seconds, Lucian and Jolie laughed out loud.“Wow, Emma, you have amazing judgment!“Fifty million dollars. Tsk! Your lousy husband won’t be able to earn $50,000,000 even after he’s worked his whole life, right?”Lucian shook his head. “Emma, if you hadn’t been blind and had chosen to marry me, you would’ve been able to buy anything you want now, right?“Unfortunately, there is no if. Even if you regret it, it’s useless.”The supervisor even purposely asked Thomas, “Sir., are you paying with cash or card?”Emma’s face revealed gloominess.The more she did not want to be embarrassed, the more embarrassed she had become. It was a car that cost $50,000,000. Even if she sold Thomas, she could not afford it either!“Forget it.”Emma held Thomas’ arm and wanted to leave.“By card.”His voice was not loud, but his two simple words pulled everyone to look at Thomas.By card?The supe
Emma angrily stomped her foot on the floor. She hated such an arrogant attitude, but she did not have a good counter.Besides, if Lucian “took over the task”, Thomas would not need to spend $50,000,000 to buy the car, right?That was also a relief to Thomas, right?Thinking about it, Emma decided to let it be. She should just put up with them for peace and calm. Just let it be.However, she had forgotten that her husband was someone who did not allow any flaws.If Thomas had decided on something, he would do it.He firmly said, “First come, first served. The car we chose must be sold to us first.”The supervisor chuckled. “Hey, do I need you to tell me whom I should sell the car to?“Who do you think you are?“Let me tell you, in this place, I’m in charge of everything. If I say that I’ll sell this car to Mr. Lopez, I’ll surely sell it to him. Who the heck are you? How dare you say so many things to me?”His words were humiliating Thomas.Emma kept dragging Thomas by his s
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
