Did the incredible Zane lose so easily?Zane’s complexion turned red. He boasted about himself for so long, but he just lost in less than one second. This was so embarrassing.“No, no way! This round doesn’t count.“I wasn’t ready yet. You gave me a surprise attack. Again.”Emma was unhappy. “You just lost. What surprise attack? Do you want to play dumb?”Zane’s complexion turned pale, as well as red, and he felt quite embarrassed.However, Thomas chuckled. He placed his hand back in the previous position and leisurely said, “It’s all right. Since you weren’t ready, let’s go again.”Everyone looked over.Thomas won with his little trick just now, but he did not insist on it. He actually chose to do it again. This was so silly.Zane dared not be careless this time. He focused all his attention to stare at Thomas and exerted all his strength into his arm. He gritted his teeth and said, “Thomas, I will not be careless this time. Just wait to lose to me!”“Okay, shall we start no
Zane looked at the people by his side. Everyone lowered their heads and dared not look straight into his eyes.“Gah!”He sighed heavily and held the pen with his shaking hand.Before Zane signed the contract, he stared at Thomas. “You’re so capable. Why do you want to be a kept man?”Thomas chuckled.“If keeping my wife company means being a kept man, I’d rather be a kept man forever.”“Um…” Zane was very embarrassed.He did not know what love was, and he had even underestimated the affection between Thomas and Emma. The man in front of him was a powerful presence that he had never identified before.Zane did not say anything further. He lowered his head and signed two copies of the contract.Emma left one copy to Zane, and she took another set away.“Mr. Rodgers, I hope we can cooperate happily. Our dinner ends here today. If we have a chance again, I’ll come to find you to sign the contract again, and you can do arm wrestling again at that time.”After Emma spoke, she he
How was it possible?He had already talked about it with Landon. How could this happen?“No, no way.”Richard picked up the contract from the table and carefully looked at it. He realized that it was really the contract signed with Fortune Enterprise. It was totally genuine and not fake.The problem was, how could it be?Richard shook his head. “It’s impossible. This is impossible!”Emma sneered. She knew that Richard had played some tricks to trouble her again, but this time was the same as the past. She was able to fend off the disaster.“Nothing is impossible.“Grandpa, I think you better put less thought into this and focus on managing the family more!”After Emma spoke, she turned back and left, while Thomas followed her without saying anything.In the office.Richard was so furious, and he slammed the contract on the table.“Jade!”His loud shout made Jade so shocked that she stood up. “Grandpa?”“Explain to me now. What’s going on?”Jade looked innocent. “I also d
Under the bright moon, a sedan was driven speedily on the broad road.Thomas skillfully manipulated the steering wheel in the car. Emma sat in the passenger seat while she looked at the scenery outside the window. Her expression was gloomy, and she did not look happy at all.Thomas asked, “Are you not happy after getting the contract signed?”Emma sighed. “I got the contract signed, but I have more conflicts with my grandfather. After all, we’re in a family. I still remember my grandfather pampered me a lot when I was small. He liked to let me sit on his back and play. I really don’t know why our relationship became so tense.”A lot of things were going on in the world, and there were a lot of changes.In front of profit, family relationships were so weak and fragile.Emma added, “I was actually thinking if I should just let it go. If I return the shares back to Grandpa, let Harvard take his mantle, and leave the family, will everyone become happy?”That was just a naive thoug
“So, I asked all of you to come today.”It was only when Cain and the gang heard this that they understood it. They guessed that John was their competitor. By looking at Vic’s flattering face, they could nearly be sure that the price given by John must be higher than theirs!Cain was a little unhappy.He questioned, “Mr. Sherman, you’re doing it wrong. Don’t we leave the final confirmation of the details as we confirmed the purchase two days ago? No matter what, you have to sell your club to us, to Shalom Technology. How can you change your mind at the last minute?”Before Vic spoke, John at the opposite giggled. “You did talk about the purchase. But, it was just a talk, isn’t it? You have to talk about it slowly. How can he give it to you when you ask for it?“Besides, did Mr. Sherman sign the contract with you? Was it written down in black and white?“There’s nothing, but you want to buy it by force. How can this happen?”His words refuted Cain to the point that Cain was speec
The office instantly became quiet. Time seemed to have paused at the moment, and no sound was heard anymore.Everyone looked at Thomas who looked unremarkable at the corner.Their eyes looked shocked, doubtful, excited.John put down his legs, and he frowned as he asked, “What did you say? Please say it again. I didn’t hear your words just now.”“One point five billion dollars. I want FC Kingston,” Thomas repeated indifferently.This time, everyone heard it very clearly.One point five billion dollars was an absolutely sky-high price, and it was five hundred million dollars more than John’s one billion. It was impossible for normal people to afford it.But, Thomas said it out loud.This time, nobody could be calm anymore.Vic the boss of the club who was sitting at the end of the table grinned. He was willing to see this kind of situation!“Sir, are you serious?”Thomas nodded. “One point five billion dollars. Those are my words.”“Okay!”Vic was so excited that his body w
Was he General Manager? Did he not ask more about the acquisition amount’s increment from $700,000,000 to $1,500,000,000? Was he rich or silly?Cain let out a long breath and smiled as he said, “Mr. Sherman, you also heard what Mr. Hudson said. There’s no problem with buying your club for $1,500,000,000. Please don’t change your mind again this time.”Vic grinned so brightly. He would definitely not change his mind unless John could offer a higher price.So, he asked John to test out, “Mr. Hawkins, what do you think? Do you want to offer a higher price?”John’s expression became dark.Honestly, $1,000,000,000 was already more than his budget. Now the price was raised to $1,500,000,000, so it was impossible for him to take more money to buy it.The club was not worth it!John gritted his teeth without speaking. He looked reluctant to let the club go, but he could not help it.Vic was sly, so he knew what was going on when he saw John’s face. Therefore, he instantly treated John
The inspector’s eyes were full of coldness. After Cain stared at him, Cain felt a cold shiver down his spine as if he had entered a cold storage.“Ahem, um, the documents are here.”Cain extended his hand to hand over the documents, but the inspector did not bother about him. It was as if he did not want to look at the documents.When the inspector wanted to take the documents, Thomas gently put his hand on the documents.“Hmm?”The inspector was angry. How could there be someone who made a scene with him?But when he turned around and looked at the person who extended his arm, he was completely stunned.The chief officer in charge of the Southland District?The inspector knew of Thomas. He had seen Thomas at countless events, but Thomas had always sat at the corner, so he never observed Thomas.How could he expect that the chief officer in charge of the Southland District would attend an occasion like this?He did not even expect that Thomas would sit at the corner.The ins
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
