Emma glanced at Thomas and wondered what her dad was trying to do.She heard Johnson deliberately lowering his voice and said, “Emma, Thomas, come here and have a seat.”The two sat opposite of Johnson obediently.Johnson kept taking deep breaths. Suddenly, he struck the coffee table and shouted, “You two good-for-nothings, what the heck did you do?!”Emma was shocked. “Dad…”“Shut up!” Johnson said fiercely, “I heard about it all. You went to discuss things with the Kennedy family, but you ended up beating eight of them bruised and bloody. Haha, you two sure are amazing and capable!“Do you know that someone from the Kennedy family has already called me and gave me a good telling off? You two are an embarrassment!”Emma looked down, not daring to speak.Johnson heaved a deep breath. “And Thomas, I know you made a bet with Richard. You sure are brave. When did you become this capable? You can get investments in two days and have the Kennedy family apologize?“Why don’t you say
Emma and Felicia were about to persuade Johnson at the same time, but they were stopped by him.“You guys don’t need to say anything. Giving him two days is my biggest concession. If you say anything more, you’ll have to divorce him tomorrow.”Johnson had put his foot down, so they did not need to say anything anymore.Thomas stood up and walked toward the door calmly. Emma immediately stood up and followed him.The two came to the outside of the house.Emma said in a choked voice, “Thomas, my dad said those things because he was angry. Don’t take it to heart.”Thomas nodded. “I know.”“You don’t have to pay too much attention to the bet. Even if it comes up short, we can still apologize to grandpa and ask for his forgiveness. We don’t have to divorce.”Thomas smiled. “A man should keep his word.”“You really want to leave me?”There was a long silence.Thomas looked at Emma firmly. “I promised you with my life that I will never leave you. It’s still the same. Emma, do you b
The three raised their glasses at the same time.“Cheers to Thomas’s death in two days!”…On a cold windy night, a lone figure walked on the road.A luxurious supercar stopped by the roadside, and the door of the car opened. Samson got out of it and gave a military salute.“Boss, I’m here to pick you up.”“Okay.”Thomas got in the car, and the car left.In the car, Samson said, “Boss, you told me to take care of the Kennedy family’s funeral. I want to ask something. Do you want to turn it into a small matter or get rid of the whole Kennedy family? Make them disappear from this world.”Thomas said coldly, “Neither.”“Oh? Boss, how are you going to play them?”“Two days later, have the head of the Kennedy family bring some people in charge and come to the Hill family’s house to apologize.”Samson laughed. “Tsk. Tsk. Boss, you sure are cunning. No problem. I’ll take care of this matter.”“Help me with something else.”“Boss, you say.”Thomas took a list out and put it on t
The next morning, at the chairman’s office in the Alliance Enterprise’s building.As one of the top ten large enterprises in the city, David Williams, the chairman of Alliance Enterprise, had a very rigid schedule. He came to the company to conduct meetings and distribute work early.Knock. Knock. Knock. The office door was knocked.“Come in.”The door opened, and a female secretary in a professional suit walked to David with a letter. Then, she put the letter on the table.“Mr. Williams, this is the invitation letter sent by Emma Hill, the person in charge of the Hill Manufacturing Company’s project.”“An invitation letter? What is it specifically about?”“Investment. Emma hopes that you can invest in the reconstruction project of the Hill family, and she promises to give a certain amount of the project dividends in return.”“Haha.”David drank a sip of coffee and said in contempt, “The Hill family is just a low-class family, so how did they win the reconstruction project of
“Really? That’s great!” Capricorn said, “Once this is completed, the land that you want should be approved soon.”“Thank you. Thank you.”“Okay, I’ve passed the message, so I’ll leave first.”“Take care.”After David sent Capricorn away, he immediately called his secretary. “Hurry up and bring me the invitation letter sent by the Hill family. I want to take a look at it.”The secretary handed over the invitation letter and asked in confusion, “Mr. Wiliiams, didn’t you say that you’re not going? Whoever that goes will become enemies with other companies in the city.”David rolled his eyes at her.“Are you stupid?“Is what Capricorn said just now not clear enough? The land our company wants will be approved if we help the Hill family complete the startup funds. This is the key! Which is more important? Think about it yourself.“As long as the land is approved, we can immediately start the next five-year plan. We don’t have to care whether other companies are hostile to us or not
Time flew by, and the two-day deadline came in the blink of an eye.Thomas took a taxi and came to the entrance of the Hill Manufacturing Company’s building calmly. His wife, Emma, whom he had not seen for two days, had been waiting at the door for a long time.The reunion after a short parting gave them the urge to rush over and hug each other, but it was suppressed by their reasons.“You’ve arrived.”“Yeah.”“Let’s go upstairs then.”They did not say much as everything was in the silence. They could see the longing and expectation of the past two days from each other’s eyes.The two came to the meeting room of the company.The head of the family, Richard, led the key members of the company and waited early.Harvard, Jade, Donald, and the others even arranged many people to block all the exits. As long as Thomas dared to come today, they did not plan to let him go.Thomas and Emma entered the meeting room.Richard looked at Thomas lifelessly and asked coldly, “The two-day d
Thomas moved to a chair and sat down. Then, he waited as if nothing was wrong.Emma was anxious. In fact, according to the messenger’s reply, the chairman of each company was not planning to come over. It was just like what Donald said.She did not know where Thomas’s confidence came from. He firmly believed that the chairmen from the ten companies would come.Emma secretly prayed. It was not necessary for all the chairmen to come as just one or two chairmen would be enough to resolve the crisis. ‘I beg you guys. You guys must come.’Every minute and second was a torment.In the long wait, the time was up. There was still no one who came.Richard laughed presumptuously. “Thomas, your trick is up, right? Today, I’ll let you…”Before he finished speaking, he suddenly heard an announcement from outside.“The chairman of Alliance Enterprise, David Williams, is here to participate in the project investment conference.”When the sound reached them, everyone present was stunned. Davi
Relevant representatives of the top ten companies sat down one by one. Each of them had the word ‘arrogance’ written on their faces. It was obvious that they looked down on the small second-rate families like the Hill family from the bottom of their hearts.After everyone sat down, Richard gave a little cough. He wanted to say something, but he did not know where to start.That was because he never thought that these bigwigs would come from the beginning, so he had not prepared what to say at all. He quickly glanced at Thomas, and his doubts deepened.What ability did Thomas have to invite all these people here?Donald took the initiative to ask instead, “Excuse me for asking, why did you all come to the Hill family today?”David said coldly, “Didn’t the Hill family write the invitation letters? Why is the host, asking the guest instead?”After Donald heard that, he laughed and looked at Thomas in contempt.“In other words, everyone is here for Emma, not Thomas? Haha, Thomas, yo
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
