Richard had seemingly heard the funniest joke in the world. He put one hand on the table and laughed so hard that he could not close his mouth.“Hey, I didn’t hear you wrongly, right?“What did you say? Say it louder. I couldn’t hear you.“Do you think you’re God and you can do whatever you want? The distribution rights were handed to me by the Urban Construction Bureau. Who the heck are you to take back my distribution rights?“Haha, are you insane?”Harvard and Jade kept laughing.Although they were humiliated by Thomas again and again, they did not keep that in mind.In their opinion, it was impossible for Thomas to take back their distribution rights. Who the heck was Thomas? How could he take back their distribution rights?If the right would be taken back, it would have to be Urban Construction Bureau that took it back.It was only after Thomas got crazy that he said such ridiculous things like this.Emma also looked dumbfounded. She also did not know that Thomas would
Richard asked his men to take the documents and handed them to Mr. Fitz. Then, he watched as Mr. Fitz took back the distribution rights and brought his subordinates away.Before Mr. Fitz left, nobody noticed that he had secretly cast a glance at Thomas and sighed in relief, as though he was very afraid of Thomas.Actually, when Mr. Fitz was in the office earlier, he did not take a look at Thomas at all.Did he despise seeing Thomas? No, he dared not look at him!It was only after Mr. Fitz left that Thomas said, “The distribution rights are not with you now, so we don’t have to stay here. Goodbye.”Thomas held Emma’s hand before they turned back and left.“Hold on!” Richard stopped him.“What is it?”“Thomas, I don’t understand this, and I’m also not convinced. Why did the Urban Construction Bureau listen to you?”Thomas chuckled. “You’ve got it wrong. The Urban Construction Bureau did not listen to me. They just did not want to see that some people took revenge by abusing th
Calling her so-called “Big Brother” was not her way of addressing someone respectfully. That was really her eldest brother.Actually, other than Jade, Harvard, and Emma, they still had their eldest brother, who was Lucas Hill. He was Jade’s biological brother and Richard’s grandson.Lucas was known as other people’s son. He was talented physically and academically. He did not just excel academically and was highly intelligent, but he was also physically stronger than a normal kid.After the family put their effort into training Lucas, he was excellent in all aspects. When he was just 20 years old, he became the vice president of Hill Manufacturing Company and was among the top ten distinguished young men in the city at that time!Lucas was a genius, and he was resolute. Despite that he was young, his method was extremely cruel. Many experienced old men who had spent their whole life in business were defeated by him.Naturally, Lucas was considered the next boss of Hill Manufacturi
Richard also did not have a good life. His wife had died at home out of anger because she had been too sad about the matter. Hill Manufacturing Company also suffered a great loss, and the Hill family fell to second class from first class.The Hill family was initially strong, but more people were looking down on them.The future heir of the Hill family was Lucas, while the current heir was Harvard. Haha, their standards were totally different now.Richard always wondered. Did he do it wrong?Should he get down from his position at that time and let Lucas inherit the Hill family? In that case, the Hill family would not suffer a great loss, and his wife also would not die in anger.He would also have stepped down at this old age.If Lucas was the one taking the head of the family, Richard could totally rest assured. If Harvard was the head, the Hill family would fall apart.“Gah…” Richard let out a long sigh and felt helpless.It was too late to talk about it now. Even if he re
The Viper Gang’s reputation had spread throughout the Southland District a long time ago, and normal people dared not easily approach them.This kind of viper could bite both the enemy and itself to death. If they did not handle it properly, they would end up being destroyed.So, unless it was necessary, normal enterprises would definitely not deal with the Viper Gang.Warren naturally understood this.However, after he witnessed how capable Thomas’ subordinates were, he knew that it was very hard to defeat Thomas alone. He had to find a helper.The Viper Gang was a good helper.Actually, the Viper Gang was strong because of its recruitment standards.Only two kinds of people could become members of the Viper Gang.First, you had to have been jailed because you committed a serious crime.Second, you committed a serious crime, but you were running away to get away with it.These two kinds of people were very fierce. They dared to do everything and did not fear death. They were
“That’s right.”Zion raised his head and showed Warren his phone.“I won.“Mr. Parkinson, just sit here and rest assured while you wait for my good news.”After he said that, he turned around and left the office. Caleb quickly followed him.Warren stared at them walking away, and he gritted his teeth as he whispered, “Viper Gang, I hope you don’t let me down. Go and rip Thomas, the jerk, into pieces and feed him to the sharks!”…… At this time, Thomas was still not aware of other people who planned to harm him.Naturally, he never needed to know these. Anyways, he always acted in situations. Nobody could ever take the advantage of him,Thomas let Emma go home and rest. Then, he went to Ben’s house.At this time, white clothes were hung up in the Caspian family a long time ago. A white banner was held up, and white candles were lit up.When people walked into the house, they could see the mourning hall.In the innermost part of the house, there was a coffin. A huge colorles
The sun was bright.A group of men in floral clothes walked over in groups. Every one of them put their left hand in their pockets and walked arrogantly.The person who led the group had brown medium-length hair, and he had a necklace that was skeleton-shaped on his neck.They walked over pridefully. At a glance, there were up to one hundred people.The Caspian family members were scared when they saw so many people walking over. Anna even took up her phone and wanted to call the police.Thomas indifferently said, “Close the door and window. Stay inside and don’t go anywhere. I’ll handle it.”Anna felt worked up. “There are one hundred people. How can you deal with them? Thomas, don’t do your monkey business here. Quickly come inside and hide with me.”Thomas shook his head.Hide inside?If he also hid inside, they would definitely break the door and enter to destroy the mourning hall.He must let Uncle Ben rest in peace.Thomas had a cigarette in his mouth. He reached out t
Bang!A knife was slashed over, and Thomas gave a kick to the person’s face, and his nose was instantly broken.Subsequently, Thomas grabbed his hair and threw him to the ground. A hole was smashed on the cement floor, and the person instantly lost his energy.Other people also paused.Everyone looked at each other, and they rushed forward.Although they had more people, and they were more cruel, killing Thomas was still a quite difficult thing.Besides, in the continuous fight, members of Viper Gang fell down one by one, but Thomas was still uninjured. There was nothing wrong with him.If this fight continued, it was hard to tell what the consequence was.Thomas had really done well in this dangerous situation!In a building far away, Zion watched the fight on the site with a telescope, and he could not help but keep complimenting.“Aye, it’s awesome! This Thomas is really up to standard.“He is still taking the advantage even when he fights one hundred people alone, and he
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
