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
Lucian could not beat Thomas, fine. But he had even lost to Thomas in terms of wealth and network. Lucian found it hard to accept.Every man wanted to show off in front of the woman who used to turn him down. He wanted to embarrass her and prove that her choice in the past was wrong.But Thomas did not give him the chance.There had been multiple comparisons, but Thomas had won them all.The fact proved that Emma had made an extremely right choice, and it also proved that Lucian was totally not good enough for Emma. He was only suitable for a second-grade woman like Jolie.In the car dealership, Emma looked completely dumbfounded as she stood still. She did not understand what was going on.Why was Lucian carried out of the store?Why did Thomas become a noble customer?What the heck was happening?The only thing she knew was that Thomas won, and Lucian lost.And this was enough!Emma held Thomas’ hand more tightly, and her heart secretly fluttered. She did not realize that
While she drove the new car speedily on the road, she felt indescribably happy. She had to say that an expensive thing had its reason for being expensive.The $50,000,000 car was better than a $500,000 car!Emma still felt uncomfortable at first. Was it not too high key if they spent so much money to buy a car?However, after she drove it on the road, she realized that the happiness of having a $50,000,000 Ferrari was indescribable. Once she started driving, she did not want to stop. She wanted to just live in the car for her whole life.Thomas sat in the passenger seat, and when he saw Emma looking happy, he also similarly felt happy.It looked like this present made Emma very happy.While the car was driven speedily, Thomas’ phone rang.Ring!He casually swiped the screen up and saw that it was a call from Ben in Shalom Technology.Uncle Ben?Thomas was stunned for a while. It had been a long time since he last went to Shalom Technology. The company work had generally been
The tomb had been smashed into a few pieces, and the whole grave had been dug open. The urn was gone, and the situation was messy.Thomas clenched his fists more tightly.Emma finally understood why Thomas got angry. His brother was dead, but he still had to suffer such humiliation. This was totally unacceptable for Thomas.Ben said, “I received a call from a stranger this morning asking me to come to the graveyard. I didn’t understand why, but after I came here, I finally understood what he meant.”“Did that person say anything?”Ben shook his head. “No.”“Did he ask for money?”“No.”If the person did not want money, that meant he wanted to take revenge. There were not many people who had a grudge with Thomas and knew the address of Scott’s grave. The culprit was very obvious after he thought about it for a while.Two words: Skyworld Enterprise!At this time, Thomas saw a letter under a stone inside the grave that was dug.“Huh?”He jumped into the grave and picked up the
One day passed in the blink of an eye.The next morning, a black sedan stopped in front of Deer International Hotel. One hundred men in black suits got out of the car. All of them had crew-cut hairstyles, and each of them emitted absolute ruthlessness.They were led by four people.They were Taurus, Libra, Sagittarius, and Cancer from Twelve Golden Zodiacs.The crowd moved to the sides, and Thomas slowly walked out. He raised his head and looked at the name of the hotel before he led them inside.A group of them walked into the lobby of the hotel.But there was no one in the hotel.The lobby had been neatly cleaned up, and nobody was there as if they were welcoming Thomas and his army.Clearly, this was a well-designed conspiracy, or perhaps it should be considered a plot.Each of them held their fists tightly and prepared to get involved in a cruel fight. They believed that the opponent must have predicted the severity and prepared many people to ambush them.Instead… A te
On the other side...The car that Thomas took stopped very soon. The driver fetched Thomas to the entrance of an old alley.At the entrance, two children who appeared to be eight years old checked through Thomas’ body. They took away his accessories like his phone and did not allow him to bring in anything.After they finished checking, Thomas walked into the alley.He moved forward according to the instructions all the way to the entrance of a small house.This should be the place where the enemy was hiding, right?The enemy chose to meet in this kind of place. If they prepared an ambush in advance, they could easily handle normal people, and nobody would find it suspicious.But, would Thomas be easily settled?He took a deep breath before he pushed the door and walked inside.He initially thought there would be machetes and iron rods moving toward him. In the worst case, there would be at least ten muscular men inside the house, right?But, it turned out that… There was o
The iron gate of the factory warehouse was opened.Thomas walked into the warehouse alone. About eight muscular men were sitting on the reinforced pipes that were stacked up on both sides, and all of them were holding a sharp dagger.These were the super skilled masters who were specially selected. They were the most excellent group that had been chosen from all of Conley’s subordinates.Thomas walked in the wide space in the middle, while the muscular men on both sides stared at him with sharp gazes. That kind of feeling was like eagles staring at a little bunny.If he were an ordinary person, he would be terrified so much that his legs felt weak, and he would fall down on the floor even if he stood still, let alone walk while being stared by these gazes.Not being afraid of these fierce gazes meant that Thomas was capable to a certain extent.There was a lift at the end of the warehouse.A man in a suit with a pair of golden-framed glasses was standing on the big platform of t
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
