“Don’t ever wish to come out of jail!”Thomas took a step forward. “Really? Do you really have that much power?”The firefighter quickly came and advised them. “Sir, please don’t get angry. The most important thing now is to move the car away and empty the lane, not fight.”He was actually giving Thomas an out.They were also afraid that Thomas would be harmed. After all, that man had a connection and background. If that man really wanted to exact revenge, it would not be a joke.Thomas nodded.“You’re right. The most important thing now is to move the car away from the emergency lane.”Meanwhile, Samuel covered his back while he got up. “Move away? How do you want to move it away? The road is stuck now. You can move it away for me then!”Thomas calmly walked to the SUV and reached out to tap on the car.Samuel anxiously shouted, “Get your smelly hand away! My car is worth more than $1,000,000. Could your smelly hand afford to touch it?”Thomas ignored him.Thomas looked at
Thomas ignored him. He turned around and said to the firefighter, “The road is now clear. You should quickly go to the scene and put out the fire.”“Oh, okay!”The firefighter quickly got into the car and prepared to start the engine.However, Samuel stood in the middle of the road. He spread his hands and legs to block the road for the firetruck.“If you don’t settle this for me, nobody can leave!“You have to compensate me for my car!”Thomas stared at him coldly. He took a few steps toward Samuel, lifted his collars, and put him on the guardrail like an adult lifting a child. He simply “bullied” him.The fire was urgent, so the firefighter also could not be bothered. He stepped on the accelerator, left the spot, and rushed to the forest park to put out the fire.It was only after the firetruck left far away that Thomas let go of his hands.Samuel lay on the ground and gasped. He pointed at Thomas and said, “You’re done. It looks like you don’t wish to have a good life anymo
Angus was stunned. He immediately stopped walking and dared not move forward again.Samuel was so silly that he came over and said, “Angus, arrest him quickly. He did not just beat me. He even threw my car into the river. You have to fight for justice on my behalf. Lock him up in jail for at least ten years. It's best if you don’t release him for the rest of his life.”At the same time, Samuel showed his middle finger to Thomas, and he looked like he had succeeded.From his perspective, when Angus was here, he could definitely vent his anger today. After all, his cousin was the most powerful person in the Southland District from his perspective.He was a narrow-minded person who did not have foresight.At that moment, Angus’ body was shaking. Other people might not know about it. But how would he not know?There was a galaxy between Thomas and his social status.If Thomas wanted to kill him, it could happen anytime. Did he still settle Thomas? Haha! What a dream! What a fairy ta
Regardless of what identity he had, it was one that Samuel absolutely did not dare to offend anyway.He had only now begun to feel regret. Why had he been so arrogant just now? Was it not fine if he just obeyed the firefighters' instructions and tried to move the car from the start? It was already too late to say anything. On the other side, Angus asked Thomas, “Mr. Mayo, what can I do for you?”“Business is business, what you want to do with Samuel is up to you,” Thomas replied calmly.“Understood.”“Also,” Thomas whispered as he leaned in close to Angus's ear, “pay close attention to the Dawson family these days. If my guess is correct, it won’t be long before they start taking action.” Angus’s spirits were suddenly lifted.All this time, he was constantly on the lookout for the Dawson family, but he could clearly tell they were all on guard since they acted within the law for every action they took, and nothing seemed out of place.Merrick had left Southland District and
“It was also to finish off Skyworld Enterprise!” he said as he glanced up at the stars in the night sky.It was time to put a stop to this person who was responsible for his brother Scott's murder. This cat and mouse game had gone on long enough, and every aspect of Skyworld Enterprise was in a state of collapse.The building was about to crumble.Thomas was fed up with it as well. He was all set on sending Skyworld Enterprise off to their final destination.After half an hour, their car stopped at the chief officer in charge’s building. Vany did not know what to say after she got out of the car.Even if she did not know any better, she still knew where this place was.“Why did you bring me here, Thomas?“This is the center of Southland District, a place of administration. Aren’t you afraid of getting in trouble with the authorities if you bring me here?”Thomas smiled.Thomas was not even able to reply when the building’s entrance opened and a group of people poured out.“Ch
On a pitch-black night, Thomas drove his car and returned to the familiar porch of his house.The lights in the house were still switched on, indicating that the people inside had not yet slept.Thomas slowly walked up to his door, reached out his hand and knocked a few times. Thump, thump, thump…With a creak, the door opened. Emma stood at the door, and her gaze locked with Thomas.Before he returned, Thomas had thousands and millions of words he wanted to say, but when he saw Emma, all words died on his tongue. “Emma.”“Tom.”Embrace, Happiness, Joy, Delight. Emma jumped straight into Thomas’s arms, and the two hugged each other tightly. Even though they had only been apart for less than a week, it felt like years to them.Only when one's affection was to a certain extent could one understand the pain and suffering of separation.After the long hug, Emma led Thomas into the house. They changed into slippers and headed over to the couch.“Dad, Mom, Thomas is back.”Jo
Felicia was even more upset after hearing that, and her tears were on the verge of spilling.Johnson quickly handed her some wet tissues. “Oh dear, it’s only 1.2 million. It’s not like we couldn’t afford it. Don’t cry, it pains my heart to see you cry.”He turned around and placed a box on the table. After opening it, there were a pair of green jade bracelets inside. “Your mom and her friends went grocery shopping yesterday, and they happened to come across a newly opened jewelry store. There was some sort of major opening sale going on, and everyone got the chance to walk in and get some discount coupons. “For example, if you draw a 40% discount coupon, you can choose anything you like from the store's jewelry, and you can purchase it with a 40% discount. “And since they’re women, and there’s jewelry and discounts, how could they resist? So, your mom and her friends walked inside the store and drew some coupons. Her other friends only got 20% and 10% off, so it wasn’t really w
The next day, Thomas took his mother-in-law, Felicia to the newly opened chain store of Stellar Jewelers. Emma was afraid that they might get themselves into trouble and decided to accompany them too.As soon as they arrived at the door of the store, they saw a crowd of middle-aged men and women, each of them uttering cuss words.They were holding all kinds of jewelry in their hands and yelling for refunds.Obviously, they had met the same fate as Felicia. They were ordinary people who had fallen into the trap of unscrupulous merchants.But all they could do was to yell and complain about it.Since the jewelry store had expected such an incident to break out, a dozen security guards had been hired to block the door. Not even a single person who wished to fight for their rights was allowed to get in. Those who tried to cause trouble were kicked out. When a merchant bullied its customers, especially for a huge business like Stellar Jewelers, there was no way for the common folk to
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
