Conley stared blankly as he said, “Is this jerk crazy? What is he trying to do?”Ryan did not say anything, but his trembling hands showed that he was very agitated.Thomas made a counterattack! He finally made a counterattack!He knew that it was impossible for Thomas to get easily solved. He was such a strong opponent, so he must have hidden a strong method, which would be implemented at the most critical time.Now was the most critical time.On the screen...The reporters on the spot were also dumbfounded. In the last press conference, Bennet said the box office was fake, and he exposed the crime of Scott’s Remembrance Cultural Arts Entertainment. But, now he suddenly jumped out and said there was nothing wrong with the box office, and that he just made everything up.Haha! Was he fooling everyone?Naturally, a big shot with this kind of identity would not have the time to fool everyone.The reporters raised their cameras and kept taking photos.Bennet took a long breath o
“I don’t believe this! I don’t believe it!”Conley ruthlessly threw the teacup on the table onto the ground, and he growled angrily. “How is it possible for Thomas to break down such a perfect plan?”He turned around and looked at Ryan. “We haven’t lost yet. Only Bennet showed up and announced it now. We still have the chance to reverse the situation!“We can insist that Bennet is in the same gang with Thomas, and we can cooperate with other companies to deal with them.”Ryan burst out laughing.How should he explain this to this idiot?Ryan thought for a while before he gently whispered, “Even an idiot like you can figure out this situation. Would Thomas not get it? Besides, since a company jumped out and admitted to this mistake, how can you be sure that there is no second or third company? Just wait and see. Bennet is just the starting point. The defense that we put in so much effort to build will be totally collapsed.”It must be said that Ryan had a pretty accurate judgment
Ryan breathed a long sigh. This time, he was totally convinced and defeated.Thomas was not just more brilliant than him, and his power was at least one hundred times stronger than him. In front of Thomas, he finally felt what it meant by feeling small.Bang!The door was pushed open.A pair of police officers in full uniforms rushed in. The leader in front asked, “Are you Conley Hudson and Ryan Hudson?”Conley frowned.“It’s me. Why?”The police officer said, “We are now suspecting that you instigated and ordered other people to purposely defame Scott’s Remembrance Cultural Arts Entertainment. You’re suspected of committing criminal activities. Please go with us.”Conley’s documents fell down with a thud.The failure this time was different from the past. When he lost previously, he still had a chance to do it over again. When he lost this time, it seemed like… there was no possibility to do it over again.He was completely defeated!The story of the business experts, Conle
Thomas and Anna were discussing in the office, and they heard screams again and again from outside.Anna walked to the window and took a look. A large group of people was holding a banner at the door while shouting something. They did not hear it very clearly.She could not help but frown.“What’s going on? Isn’t it clarified? Why do these people still come and raise the banner?“This is so ridiculous!“It’s not convenient for me to do that in the past, but I will not spare you this time.”As Anna said, she walked outside.“Hey…” Before Thomas spoke, Anna turned around and glared at him. “I’ve suffered enough these days. It’s also time for me to vent all out. If you dare to stop me today, I’ll deal with you.”Thomas chuckled. “I didn’t want to stop you. I just want to go and check out there with you.”“This is all right.”The two of them went downstairs, walked past the lobby, and walked out the turnstile door. They came to the entrance of the office building of Scott’s Rem
Then, Bennet brought his people and left.Anna sighed in relief, and she said, “It’s really not easy to let these bloodsuckers take out the money.”Thomas chuckled. “Although there were some obstacles, the ending is still good. The review of Scott’s Remembrance Cultural Arts Entertainment is excellent at the maximum, and there is more money for donation now.”He glanced at those people who kneeled while repenting. He said to Anna, “You also don’t let these people kneel anymore. After all, they were deceived. Just forget it.”Anna cast a glance at her watch. “They were deceived, so? Didn’t they also hurt our company? The time for them to kneel is still insufficient. When the time is up, I’ll make an arrangement.”After she said, she turned around and left.She was suppressed so ruthlessly a few days ago. Even if the ending now was good, she still wanted to vent it out.This young lady could not help but have some little temper.Thomas helplessly shrugged. His phone rang at this
Conley could not accept such a thing.What kind of joke was this? The person who had competed with him was actually the chief officer in charge of the Southland District? Did this mean he was destined to lose from the beginning?Why did he go against Thomas then?He raised his head and looked at Thomas. He asked in disbelief, “No, this is impossible. If you’re really the chief officer in charge of the Southland District, you can just defeat me at any time, right? Why would you make it so complicated and waste so much time?“Thomas Mayo, stop pretending now!”Thomas remained calm when facing the accusation.But, Ryan chuckled, and he awkwardly said, “I should’ve thought about this a long time ago. We lost a few times because the government agencies were involved. This time, the court, Internal Revenue Service, and police even cooperated together.“If your status is not extraordinary, it’s impossible for you to achieve this.”He said this to Conley, and he also said it to himself
This situation was so touching.Thomas put down his teacup and broke into a happy smile. What he liked the most was to see other people happy.Was there something else happier in the world than seeing other people happy?After they hugged each other for a long time, they separated from each other. Ryan reached out to caress Vany’s face. He felt as if he was dreaming as everything seemed to be so unreal.He asked, “Vany, how did you come back? Why didn’t you come and see me after you’re back? Where have you been these years?”Vany told him everything that had happened all these years in a simpler way and in a sobbing tone.At this time, Ryan knew that Vany had suffered so much these years. He even knew that Thomas saved Vany’s life, and he was the person who helped the two of them get back together and reunite.But, Ryan kept dealing with his savior. He was totally inhuman!Ryan directly kneeled down in front of Thomas with a loud thud.“Mr. Mayo, I’m sorry. I must be blindfold
After a night, the sky became clear.Thomas woke up early to prepare a scrumptious breakfast for the whole family.Emma yawned while she walked to the dining table. She sat down, stared at the scrumptious breakfast, and happily said, “Wow, I can finally have some delicious breakfast.”Johnson walked out unhappily.“What did you mean? Do you think the breakfast I usually prepare for you doesn’t taste good? You’re so unfilial because you forget your father when your husband is back!”Emma stuck out her tongue. She drank milk while she ate a fried egg. She was so happy.She curiously asked, “Thomas, why are you so free to make breakfast today? Do you not need to handle some work today? Haven’t you been very busy recently to the point that you can’t come home?”Thomas smiled faintly as he answered, “I’ve done all the work in the company, so I can feel ease these days. I don’t have to go to work now.”“I see.”Emma secretly felt happy. They had not been able to get along for a long
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
