The next day, Thomas accompanied Emma to come to the Hill family’s office building. They were ready to witness the project’s completion.After they entered the building, people kept moving forward to congratulate Emma.Today, Emma finally experienced what ‘success’ meant. She received different compliments on the way. When anyone saw her, they would compliment her for her outstanding ability as she could even take down a difficult place like Emperor Residence.She had used more than ten minutes to walk through such a short distance from the entrance of the building to the office.After an arduous journey, Emma finally came to her office. She tiringly put her bag on the office desk. Her work today had not started yet, and she nearly got exhausted.Thomas smiled as he said, “You’re now the most famous person. Whoever sees you will need to respectfully address you as ‘Ms. Hill.’”Emma rolled her eyes at him. “I’m almost exhausted. You’re still laughing at me.”As the two of them ch
She directly went to the chairman’s office.Emma also did not knock on the door as she directly opened it and walked inside. At this time, Richard was discussing the details of Emperor Residence’s reconstruction to a park with Jade and Harvard.When they saw Emma walk in angrily, three of them knew what had happened.Yet, Richard still pretended to be confused and purposely asked, “Emma, what’s going on? You don’t have any manners. Don’t you know that you should knock on the door before you enter?”Knocking on the door?Haha. Emma could not wait to knock on Richard’s head!Emma raised her proposal and questioned, “Grandpa, what’s going on?”“What do you mean by what’s going on? Don’t you understand the proposal?”“Grandpa, don’t purposely act like you don’t know. What did you say previously? As long as I can get consent from Emperor Residence, you will make it a cemetery planning area and allocate a space for Scott. Now, what has happened? Why would the cemetery planning area b
While Richard and the other two felt arrogant and Emma was furious, some footsteps were heard.Then, the man whom Richard hated the most showed up.Thomas! He stood by Emma, and his face still showed calmness that would never change. He gently reached out to hold Emma’s cold and trembling hand.“Good morning, Mr. Hill.”Richard scoffed. “It’s already 10.00 am. It’s not very early.”Thomas smiled faintly before he said something that made everyone puzzled.“Mr. Hill, thank you for putting in the effort for my brother. You actually prepared two cemetery planning zones.”Two?Everyone looked at each other, and they felt confused.Harvard sneered, “Thomas, what nonsense are you talking about?”“No?” Thomas said as if he pretended to look puzzled, “Let alone turning Emperor Residence into a cemetery planning area, you even purposely allocate another area. Aren’t there two zones now?”Richard laughed.“Thomas, is there something wrong with your head?“Are there two zones?“We
Harvard got up and left to prepare the draft.Richard raised the teacup and took a sip in satisfaction. He chuckled as he stared at Jade. “Both of you are my granddaughters, but Jade, you make me feel happy, unlike Emma. She always makes me angry!”Jade smiled. “Grandpa, that is too flattering.”“Hey, no worries. It’s a shame that you’re a woman. If you’re a man, I’ll immediately pass down the position of the head of the family to you. Gah, Harvard is not as good as you from different aspects. I’m really worried.”“Grandpa, Harvard is just a little impulsive. His ability is actually not too bad.”Richard sighed. “It’s good if he has half of your calmness.”On the other side.Emma angrily went back to her office, and she threw the proposal on the floor. She ruthlessly stepped on it with high heels a few times and punctured a few holes.She had never felt so uncomfortable like this before!Outsiders bullied her previously, fine! But now her family also bullied her. They even coo
Harvard talked according to the draft, and he finished his presentation on the reconstruction project’s change in a very reasonable and appropriate way.Fabian remained silent on the other end of the call.Harvard was extremely confident. He thought there was no problem at all. Based on the way he said, he could definitely make Fabian feel touched, let alone this change was beneficial for Fabian. There was really no reason for Fabian to say no.But, the situation was really that awkward.Fabian said one word in an unfriendly tone.“No.”Harvard’s expression changed, and his smile became stiff. He did not understand why Fabian would give such an answer.Did he reject it?Why? Was he crazy?Harvard wanted to continue saying something, but Fabian directly answered, “I said no. You don’t have to tell me about it. Besides, other than Ms. Emma Hill, I won’t answer calls from any other Hill family member. Do you understand?”“Huh? Mr. Burke, you…” Beep! Fabian directly hung up.H
“If one or two residents refuse, I’d believe in this possibility. The problem now is that all of the thirty residents want Emma at the same time, so this is not that simple.“Besides, among these thirty people, there are women and elderly who are almost 70 years old. How could they do that kind of thing?“You’d better not say something like that. Do you understand?”Jade and Harvard nodded.Richard hated Emma, but she was still his biological granddaughter. If her reputation was ruined, it was not just about Emma alone. The whole Hill family would also be defamed.Therefore, Richard did not allow Jade and Harvard to talk nonsense.He thought for a while, but he could not figure out the reason. Of course, this was because the key to the problem was not with Emma. It was with his grandson-in-law, Thomas!He got the wrong direction from the beginning, so how could he think of it?Richard sighed. He felt very angry, but he also had to accept the reality.“Thirty residents rejected
Were they begging Emma for help now?Thomas secretly sneered. What time was it now? Why were they still so arrogant?He got up and held Emma’s hand before he attempted to walk out. This made Richard and the other two people incredibly shocked. Was he joking? They were punished to stand for three hours to wait until she woke up. But, she was immediately leaving now?“Thomas, what are you doing?” Richard anxiously shouted.Thomas indifferently said, “I wonder why the office is so smelly. I wonder who the immoral person is.”He was indirectly scolding them.Was he saying Richard’s words were like fart?Richard’s heart was full of hatred. He was desperate to rip Thomas into pieces, but he had to bear with Thomas because he wanted to beg him at for help this time.He should bear with this first before he talked about other things again later.Richard let out a breath before he said, “Alright, you also stop fussing now, Thomas. As long as Emma is willing to call the residents and ex
“Thomas, did you see how Grandpa looked like just now? He got so angry that his neck became red like a boiling pot.”Thomas chuckled. “When did you become so bad? Didn’t you want me to be ‘polite’ to him?”Emma sighed. “Yeah, no matter what happens, he is still my grandfather, my family. But what happened today is too ridiculous. If these residents didn’t ‘help’ me, I really don’t know what I could have done.”Speaking of this, Emma felt more puzzled.“Actually I also don’t know what happened.“Thomas, why would other people get chased out when they went to convince the residents, but they’re willing to sign when I went without needing to say anything?”Thomas looked around. “Because… you’re born to be so beautiful. When you appear, you’re shining, and you can shock all of them. When the goddess shows up, they will naturally be defeated.”Emma reached out to poke Thomas’ head with her index finger. “You keep talking nonsense all day to make me happy.”She stared at Thomas. As 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
