As the auction items were shown one by one, the atmosphere in the auction was also ignited.

After people bade on the first five items, the host introduced the sixth auctioned item, which was a jade necklace.

Besides, this necklace had a deep meaning. It was said that a ninety-year-old man bought it for his wife when he was young. When his wife died later, he sold the necklace off.

Then, the owner of this necklace changed a few times before it came to Water Cloud.

This was a jade necklace that represented love.

The starting price was $3,000,000.

The price raised each time must not be lower than $500,000.

After Thomas saw the jade necklace and heard the description, he was stunned for more than ten seconds.

Why did this necklace look so familiar? Why did he seem to have heard about its background story?

When he carefully recalled it in his memories, he remembered that he had bought the necklace for Emma when he had accompanied her on a business trip.

That necklace was kept by E

    Thomas sneered. “I mean I want this necklace.”“You want it?” Merrick laughed out loud. “Lad, look at yourself in the mirror. Are you qualified?”He raised his hand. “Seven million dollars. I want it.”Thomas immediately responded. “Eight million dollars!”A necklace’s price had been raised to $8,000,000, which was extremely high. Honestly, it was more than everyone’s expectation.Merrick looked unhappy. “Punk, do you want to die? Are you purposely going against me?”Thomas stretched out his hands. “You can raise the price if you can. Is the Dawson family only good at bragging? Are you actually very poor?”“Nonsense!” Merrick immediately added the price. “Ten million dollars from me!”As soon as he spoke, Thomas immediately responded, “Twelve million dollars!”Thomas’ price was much higher than his.Merrick was unhappy. Twelve million dollars for a jade necklace? That price was definitely not worth it.He intended to pull out.Thomas sneered. “Did you say you want to buy a

    After the expert appraiser reported the results of his examination, Merrick’s expression darkened like charcoal.Fifty thousand dollars?Was the value of the necklace confirmed to be $50,000 only?He knew that the value of this necklace would not be very high, but it should not be so low, right? Besides, this really proved what Thomas said. It was an artificial fake item!How could a fake item represent love?Merrick wanted to cry. He felt that he was fooled.He suddenly turned around and glared at Thomas. “Did you know it was fake from the beginning? Why were you still competing with me?”Thomas shrugged. “I just want to see how rich the Dawson family is. Well, it’s the same as what I expected. You’re really rich. The Dawson family is really incredible.”Merrick was so angry that he wanted to kill Thomas.No matter how rich the Dawson family was, he should not waste money like that.He pointed at Thomas with a shaking finger. “You! You knew it was fake, but you still purpose

    He had to take action without any mistake.Now he had found her. Subsequently, he just needed to watch her closely. He would find a chance to bring her back.The condition was, Vany just needed to be willing to leave.During the 15-minute break, Merrick and Sophia left their seats.They came to a corner with no one around, and they whispered to each other.Sophia pouted, and her face looked unhappy. “Hmph! We bought a fake necklace for $20,000,000. This makes me so angry. Thomas Mayo is really terrible.”Merrick whispered, “Don’t worry, I’ll settle this account with them.”“What do you plan to do with them?”Merrick stuffed a pack of powder in Sophia's hand. “This is the medicine specially made by my family. After consuming it, the person will be very obedient. When the auction nears its end, invite Adery out alone. Then, treat her to some tea and secretly put this in her cup.“After she drinks it, you have to leave the site. I’ll ask my men to bring her away!“Not only that,

    Among everyone, William was the saddest person.It was not easy for him to finally get there, and he was thinking of buying the set of Asclepius Needles at a cheap price.However, he awkwardly found out that the starting price was $15,000,000. After adding up all his wealth, he had less than $10,000,000. This also meant that he could not even afford the starting price. How could he bring it back?So, he could just look at it.William kept sighing. People could tell how gloomy he was.For this set of Asclepius Needles, he was nearly killed by Mandrill and his gang. He even caused his daughter to get involved. In the end, he actually did not have the qualification to raise the price.Poverty was a sin!At this time, someone tried to shout, “I offer $18,000,000.”Actually, to normal folk, the Asclepius Needles were not very valuable because they would not use them. Hence, it would actually be a waste if they spent such a large amount of money to buy a set of needles.But, some ju

    “Are you freaking crazy?“Sixty million dollars? Do you have that much?“Aren’t you trying to set me up? Do you realize that if I don’t bid again, you’ll have to spend $60,000,000 to buy this set of needles now?“If you can’t pay it, you’ll be brought away and become a slave for Water Cloud for the rest of your life!”Thomas calmly said, “Have you finished talking about your nonsense? If you have the time to brag here, why don’t you do something? Are you following or not?”Merrick scoffed. “If I don’t let you see my power, you’ll think I’m a weak person. Let me show you the wealth of the Dawson family today! You raised the price, so? You provoke me, so? In front of our enormous wealth, everything you do is just useless.”He raised his hand and calmly said, “My offer, $70,000,000!”He directly had added $10,000,000.They were now raising the price in $10,000,000 increments, and they were skipping the numbers in between. It made the audiences feel excited.Although they did not

    Merrick was prideful. He really wanted to get the Asclepius Needles, but he preferred seeing Thomas getting embarrassed and being blamed.Honestly, he was just a surgeon.It was not a must for him to get something like Asclepius Needles as this did not affect him much. But if he could insult Thomas with this thing, he would be very happy to do so.Merrick swung his legs while looking at Thomas relaxingly, “Lad, don’t you like to raise the price? You can keep raising the price. Don’t stop! It’s just $200,000,000. It should be a piece of cake for you, right?”He flashed a wretched smile as if he already knew Thomas would lose.Adery could not bear the sight, so she lowered her dignity and said, “Merrick, it’s our fault. I apologize to you on behalf of Thomas. Please help us. Please continue raising the price to buy this set of needles. If you don’t increase the price, nobody else will. They’ll force Thomas to buy it.”Merrick licked his lips. “You want me to buy it? Okay, you just

    At that time, everyone was shocked.Those people who were still mocking Thomas just now felt so shocked that they could not close their mouths. Their smiles also stiffened.“I didn’t hear it wrong, right? The transfer was successful?”“What the heck! This man is a hidden rich man. He can just take out $200,000,000. So rich!”“Hold on, this isn’t right. If he really has $200,000,000, that means he was really bidding on it instead of raising the price for fun!”Everyone was discussing it.The most awkward person was none other than Merrick.He was completely dumbfounded. He initially prepared a lot of speeches, but those words died in his throat at this time.No matter what, he did not expect Thomas to really fork out $200,000,000.Not raising the price?Merrick suddenly snapped out of a daze. If Thomas was really rich and he also really wanted to get this set of Asclepius Needles, he was really bidding just now instead of raising the price for the sake of it.Merrick had wron

    Thomas felt a little troubled. He had intended to buy this set of needles for William, but William refused to accept it.William patted Thomas on the shoulder. He chuckled and said, “I’m already old and retired. Even if I get this set of needles, it won’t function very well. But you, Thomas, you’re a rising star. If you can fully use this set of Asclepius Needles, it will greatly improve your medical skills!”“Me?” “That’s right.” William seriously said, “Don’t worry, I’ll try my best to help you master the technique of using this set of needles. With Acupuncture Skills in cooperation with Asclepius Needles, Thomas, I’m really looking forward to the realm of your medical skills that you’ll be achieving.”Merrick scoffed.“Realm?“He is just a newbie who’s learned medical skills for a short time. He hasn’t even built a good foundation. Don’t expect him to be excellent in his life.”This was typical sour grapes.Adery coldly answered, “Haha! This newbie who has just entered the

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
