That confidence was a symbol of a strong person.A while later, Tyger contacted another group of people.“Bro, it’s done. The people who come this time will be more powerful.”“Who are they?”“Red Mist Front!”Burning Beard chuckled. Red Mist Front was a group of criminals, and their methods were very ruthless. They were considered the top criminals in the Southland District.He said to Thomas, “Haha, you’re done. Do you know who I’ve called this time? If I tell you, you’ll be terrified. They are Red Mist Front!“Red Mist Front, do you know?“That’s the outstanding top organization in the Southland District. If they are here, you’ll die!”Thomas frowned.He had allowed Burning Beard to call people over. Why did he call all the people with whom he was familiar?Red Mist Front?Haha.Thomas sat leisurely, and he did not seem fearful at all.Burning Beard secretly sneered. ‘Just pretend. When Red Mist Front comes later, we’ll see how you can still pretend.’Within half an h
Burning Beard called two groups of people to come over, but both groups were useless. That made him so furious.He had been in Glorious Sun for many years, and he had not been so ashamed like today!Thomas smiled bitterly as he shook his head. He said to Cadell, “You’ve misunderstood. I just came to purchase steel. I’m not here against you.”After Cadell heard it, he finally felt relieved.Thomas continued saying, “But Mr. Evans, Burning Beard wants you to handle me. What do you plan to do?”Handle Thomas?Even if Cadell was so bold, he dared not do that either.He kept waving his hands. “Mr. Mayo, please don’t make this kind of joke with me. I couldn’t bear it.”Cadell stood up, and he said to his people, “Brothers, handle Burning Beard with me to vent the anger for Mr. Mayo!”“Yes!”Red Mist Front dared not handle Thomas, but they were capable of dealing with Burning Beard.But, Thomas stopped them. “No need. You stand aside first. I can handle Burning Beard first.”“We g
Emma’s complexion turned red, and she held Thomas’ arm tightly.Thomas looked calm, but he felt angry.Dying without a graveyard?‘Good, I’ll let you die without a graveyard!’In just a while, a large group of people came to the factory. It looked like up to one hundred people had arrived, and all of them held big knives. They appeared aggressive.They were from Dark Sun!Besides, they were personally brought by Blind Bear.After they were beaten up yesterday, Blind Bear was still angry. Since he was born, he had never suffered such humiliation like this before.He was thinking about a chance to vent his anger.Coincidentally, Burning Beard called him to help deal with someone.Blind Beard agreed without thinking. Even if there was no pay, he would also help to deal. There was no other purpose, and he just wanted to vent his anger.Seeing that Blind Bear brought his people to walk over pridefully, the members of the Cohen family and Red Mist Front felt a little nervous.The
The sudden change shocked everyone on the site. Blind Bear, who was the head of the gangsters in Glorious Sun, had actually knelt down in front of an outsider.What kind of sarcasm and insult was that?If the members of the Cohen family knelt down because of their connection, and the members of Red Mist Front knelt down because of fear, what was the reason for Blind Bear kneeling down?Burning Beard really did not understand.From his perspective, Blind Bear was an incredible person as he could simply destroy anyone else.However, the man who was extremely incredible kneeled down in front of Thomas in front of so many people!Blind Bear was completely stunned.Even Blind Bear could not handle Thomas, so who would still be able to handle Thomas?In Glorious Sun, there were no other people he could call again.Blind Bear also felt that he was a little timid. But, when he wanted to stand up, he stared at Thomas in the eyes, and he immediately gave up the idea of standing up.As
He gritted his teeth and said, “Thomas Mayo, you’re awesome. I can’t fight back now. You can do whatever you want!”Thomas clapped.“Very good.“You have your integrity.”He stood up and picked up a knife from the floor before he walked toward Burning Beard and stared at him for three seconds.“I want you… to die!”Thomas raised his hand and smashed over, but the knife was stopped when it was one centimeter away from Burning Beard’s neck.Actually, he just wanted to scare Burning Beard. He did not really want to kill him.Burning Beard’s hero spirit disappeared, and he instantly felt weak and sat down on the ground. He kept crying as he shouted loudly, “I’m sorry. I’m really sorry. Mr. Mayo, please forgive me. I don’t want to die.”Thomas scoffed.This man was just reluctant to give in, and he would be instantly frightened after being scared for a while.He threw a knife aside, and he indifferently said, “Actually my purpose of coming to Dark Sun this time is to purchase ste
When Thomas saw Burning Beard sitting on the ground with regret, he smiled faintly and shook his head. Then, he turned around and walked to Emma.“Emma, check the stock.”“Okay!”Emma immediately got up and checked the latest batch of stock.There was no problem.The whole stock passed quality assurance!Thomas nodded, and he said to everyone else, “All right, I’ve completed my matter, so I’m going home now. All of you may leave. Be more low-key in the future.”After Thomas finished speaking, he held Emma’s hand and left the factory. Then, the members of the Cohen family, Dark Sun, and Red Mist Front also left one after another.That batch of stock was then delivered to the Hill family according to the procedure.Only Burning Beard alone was still sitting on the ground in the factory. He glanced around the empty factory, and he could not stop crying.If you played with fire, you would eventually get burned. He always did all sorts of mean things, so he would definitely be p
There had also been something wrong with the money given by Richard. If they went for a normal deal using the money given by Mr. Hill Sr., they could only buy two-third of the steel. It would be impossible to complete the mission.Which meant that the problem existed in acquisition target, available stock, or even the payment.Any aspect was risky, let alone that these three problems existed at the same time.Perhaps there was no possibility to complete the whole mission theoretically.If it was not because of Thomas, Emma would have ended up miserably this time. Even if she could go back alive, she would also receive a huge punishment because she could not complete the mission.Her grandfather was too cruel this time.How could he do such a thing to his granddaughter?Emma was kind, but she was not stupid. After Thomas carefully analyzed it, he also understood the severity of the situation.He guessed that Mr. Hill Sr. really wanted to kill Emma this time!“Grandpa?”Emma’s
As soon as they met, the situation became very intense.This was also the first time Richard had felt the strong angry aura from the kind and gentle Emma. He knew that he had already offended Emma this time.But, what could she do?After all, she was just a junior in the Hill family and a staff in Hill Manufacturing Company. No matter how angry she was, what else could she do?Richard stared at Emma coldly. “How’s the task I assigned to you?”Actually, this question was completely unnecessary.In Richard’s opinion, the mission was definitely a failure. This question was just a courtesy.He had already prepared the “script” to insult Emma in front of the people later. He would scold her to the point that she would not raise her head and kick her out of the Hill family. Everything was in Richard’s plan.He was just waiting for Emma to say that she had failed.However… Emma indifferently said, “The stock is ready, and it’s being delivered now. All the stock will arrive before 8
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
