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
After Thomas left the riverside, he got a cab and rushed to the Owen family’s clinic. He saw a big red cloth covering something from afar.When he walked into the clinic, Edith happily approached him.“Dr. Mayo, you’re finally here. You made me wait for so long!”Thomas smiled. “Mr. Barlow, is there anything that can’t be kept by Adery first? Plus, do you have to give it to me in person?”Adery shook her head. “This gift is incredible. I simply can’t have it.”Thomas looked confused. They made it sound so awesome. He wondered what kind of good thing that Edith brought over.Edith led him to walk out. He pointed at the red cloth.“Lift it up and show Dr. Mayo!”His subordinates immediately moved forward to lift the huge red cloth, and a burgundy streamlined supercar was shown!It was a convertible Ferrari supercar!The car door could be opened like a butterfly. The car body was S-shaped, and its chassis was extremely low.With the burgundy advanced spray paint, its nobleness
Both parties looked at each other, and they were stunned.The young man was the professional F1 driver, Chad Granger.Ferrari was definitely the leading expert in F1, but after the champion got into an accident the year before last, the racing team was in a state without improvement.This had given other racing teams a chance to catch up to them.The Lamborghini team, in particular, surpassed other teams, and the difference between Lamborghini and Ferrari was very small.Lamborghini had specially spent a large amount of money to recruit an expert driver. In the individual race, the champion had been continuously taken by the Lamborghini team.Ferrari was getting worse.This time, the opponents met. The Ferrari did not expect to meet the official F1 driver of the Lamborghini team in this kind of place.Edith said with contempt, “Young lad, don’t be so arrogant. Don’t think you’re incredible when you’re driving a broken car.”At this time, a tiring voice came from Lamborghini.
Halfway through their drive, Chad saw the Ferrari catch up to them, from the rear-view mirror. He could not help but feel happy.“Haha, such a mad dog.“He dares to go after us? How ignorant of him!”He stepped on the accelerator hard, and the speed instantly increased. The Ferrari was left way behind.After all, he was a professional F1 driver. Chad was totally different from the standard of the driver whom Thomas met previously. There was no problem for Chad to drive on a straight road.He could even make a nearly perfect turn.Also, the performance of the Lamborghini was extremely strong, which made Chad continuously lead all the way. So, Thomas could not rush over at all.In the latter car.Edith kept shaking his car. “Dr. Mayo, why don’t you forget it? Although your medical skills are incredible, his racing skills are professional. Let’s give up, okay?”Edith knew Thomas could not beat him.On the other hand, Edith feared that Thomas would do something irrational because
Chad was stunned. “Is he mad? What is he trying to do? He turned the corner at such a high speed. The centrifugal force is huge, the car will fly out!”Edith was even so scared that his complexion turned pale. Thomas was really crazy. He had turned the corner at such a high speed. Was he trying to kill himself?“Urgh!”Edith was a masculine man, but he was so scared that he screamed like a woman. He was in extreme pain.However, Thomas still remained calm.His tires stuck close to the ground. There was strong friction between the car and the ground with some sizzling sounds as the tires left scratch marks on the ground. He drifted to turn the corner!Normal drifting to turn the corner was actually not difficult. But he dared to drift to turn the corner at such a high speed. That did not just need the skills. This required a lot of courage. Chad was stunned first before he chuckled and sneered.“This guy has pretty good racing skills. But that’s it!“Drifting to turn the c
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
