As a submissive housewife, Felicia Musk had not enjoyed such an experience before. But today, this experience totally lifted her spirits.Brandishing the hammer like a descended god of war, she frantically hammered the counter, venting all her frustrations.Emmy was afraid that her mother would accidentally hurt herself, hence she hurried forward and told her to take it easy.Thomas Mayo stood here, smirking.Liam Quinn came over and stood beside Thomas. He said softly, “Mr. Mayo, Milan headquarters have decided to expand in Southland District to strengthen the brand. The owner will be here in person soon. I hope that you can provide some suggestions for the layout of Stellar Jewellers in Southland District when the time comes.”Thomas replied softly, “I understand. I will help him when he’s here.”“I thank you in advance on behalf of the owner.”“We’re all family here, there’s no need to be so courteous.”Felicia got her reimbursement after hammering away and left with a conte
The question was...Thomas said, “Filming a movie takes time and effort. If we were to wait for it to be done, it would be too late, right?”Anna said, “Rest assured, we will add more directors and screenwriters immediately to work on the scriptwriting. At the same time, the completed parts can be filmed as well, then we can compile and edit them at the end.”“Although some varied quality is to be expected, we are not focusing on the content but on what it is for. We are to earn as much as we can from this for the sake of charity.”Thomas nodded. “Alright then, let’s do it your way.”After the discussion, everyone went to work on their respective tasks.Shalom Technology launched their brand new rehabilitation product immediately, while Scott’s Remembrance Culture Arts Entertainment worked on the scriptwriting at full speed. They also ensured the well-known actors would participate too.Everything progressed at a huge scale.An operation of such scale could not stop any rumours
Shalom Technology’s newly released rehabilitation equipment became a hit in the market in the next couple of days. A huge number of the injured’s family members hurried to shops that sold the equipment to assist the recovery of their loved ones.Shalom Technology did not only donate, they too provided the public with the needed equipment. This news made it into numerous news and entertainment media and was highly acclaimed.For the past few days, not only Thomas took responsibility in the management matters of Southland District, he too had been monitoring the performance of Shalom Technology. Even though they did not profit during this period of time, but they managed to increase their reputation.It could not be denied that a successful enterprise need a good reputation.Once this was established, everything that Shalom Technology developed in the future would be well received by the public.As Thomas and Ben both discussed their next steps in the office, the receptionist came i
“You’re saying we raised the price and deliberately took advantage of the public. Isn’t that a bit too much?”Mikelle smacked his lips.“Oh hey, what made you so furious? If you didn’t do it you shouldn’t be bothered. Why are you getting furious from what I said? Could it be that I’ve hit the spot?”It’s simply nonsense!Ben has always been a gentleman in his whole life, he had no way of handling such a scoundrel. He was pissed beyond words.Mikelle continued. “ Not only did you not earn any profit, but you still need to pay for the marketing and delivery, heh, do you think anyone would believe you?”“There are no kind businessmen in this world.”“Then why don’t you enlighten me on what benefits do we gain from doing so? By paying to market and deliver the product? Please do tell.”What did he expect the response to be?这让人怎么说?Shalom Technology was obviously doing charity work and at the same time gained reputation.It was clear as day.But some things were better left unspok
Skyworld Enterprise, Director’s office.Conley, unable to endure further, asked. “Brother, will your plan really work?”Ryan snickered, “It’s a foolproof plan, Mikelle himself is very greedy, he knows no shame. If given the opportunity, he will rip Shalom Technology inside out. And since they’re up against that guy, that’s just their luck.”It was inevitable for them to suffer from fines and defamation.Conley asked again. “If Mikelle is so greedy, what if Shalom Technology bribes him?”Ryan laughed out loud. “ Only an idiot like you can think of such a thing, bribery? If Shalom Technology dares to resort to such action, they will be sentenced with the charge of another serious crime, bribery! At that time, they won’t be able to recover. From not having any problem to facing a big issue.”Conley was a bit upset, how was he the idiot?But after listening to Ryan’s explanation, he was not upset anymore, but instead, he was delighted. With how things were currently, Shalom Technolo
Mikelle Edinger was amused. “Old man, stop pretending. You better believe that I can shut down your company at any moment!”Ben said nothing. Mikelle slammed the table. “I won’t be wasting my breath on you anymore. If you want to continue with business operations, continue selling products to earn money, and preserve a good reputation, you’re going to have to pull off some miracles!“Reduce 100 dollars from the cost price of each new product you produce, and with each unit you sell, I’m taking 60% of the profit!“Do you understand?”Those words were deafening to the ears. Ben had never expected such scum to exist on Earth. They were already selling the new equipment at a price that guaranteed loss for the sake of charity and to garner a good reputation. In the end, Mikelle still wanted to get money from it. And he wanted a lot from it. After cutting out 100 dollars from the cost price, he even wanted to take 60% of the profit for each unit. It could be said that if they
After saying those things, Mikelle’s expression instantly turned sour. In fact, he started stuttering. “Wh-What are you saying?“I’m enforcing the law for the sake of the public, and I walk with my head held high. Stop using my third uncle to scare me. “I already told you everything clearly. If you don’t give me a satisfactory answer today, then I won’t be nice to you. You’ll only be let off lightly if your company is shut down. I can even pass a sentence to you and make you rot in jail!”Thomas smiled and shook his head. The calmer he was and the quieter he remained, Mikelle felt less confident. “What are you laughing at? Do you think I’m joking?”Thomas said, “Pass a sentence? Rot in jail? You’re just a civilian. Where did you get the authority to do so? Even if you’re a manager of the Bureau of Industry and Commerce, you don’t have the authority to punish others, right? You don’t even know the distribution of work for staff from the government, so what con are you trying to
Why would he have such a disappointing nephew? The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, and he used more strength to beat him up.Mikelle screamed from the beating, and he was in extreme pain. After Easton beat Mikelle up, he apologized and said to Thomas, “I’m sorry. It’s my fault for not teaching him well. I allowed this disappointing jerk to come out and embarrass himself.”Thomas just said, “Do what you have to do.”Easton’s heart skipped a beat.“Yes, Sir.”Actually, he had beaten Mikelle up so ruthlessly because he had been furious, and he had also hoped to give Mikelle a small punishment. That way, Thomas would not take it to heart, and he could spare Mikelle this time.After all, Mikelle was his nephew, his beloved nephew.But how could Thomas not know Easton’s little trick?There should be no feelings involved when it came to settling such a major issue. If Thomas just let Mikelle go like that, it would disappoint everyone who did good deeds.People who
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
