Indeed, Thomas had not walked more than fifty meters away when he heard some hurried footsteps behind him.Tap! Tap! Tap!That security guard ran toward Thomas like a gust of wind. He was smiling so brightly, as though he had become another person.“Mr. Thomas, please wait!”Thomas still pretended like he did not know what just happened. “Why? Am I not getting lost quickly enough? I’ll leave faster now.”He acted like he wanted to walk faster, and it made the security guard so shocked that he quickly reached out to stop Thomas.“Mr. Mayo, please don’t joke with me. Mr. Quinn reprimanded me just now. You’re Mr. Quinn’s most noble guest.“If I can’t invite you back today, I will definitely lose this job.”Thomas frowned. “But, didn’t you ask me to get out?”“Oh my, Mr. Mayo. I was so ignorant that I looked down on you. I’m a jerk. Please forgive me and don’t trouble me, please?”As the security guard spoke, he lay down on the ground.“I’m rolling around now. Please don’t be ma
Everyone took their seats according to their positions. Zach and Thomas sat next to each other like a married couple who could not leave each other. It showed that Zach valued Thomas very much.This arrangement made Benjamin extremely unhappy.After a while, the table was full of food. Some young and beautiful waitresses came forward and poured the wine for them.After everyone had their glasses filled with wine, Zach took the lead to toast everyone.After they put down the wine glass, they started eating.Zach happily said, “Stellar Jewelers’ business is getting much bigger now. Our next step is to prepare to target the Southland District and do our best to develop this area.”Zach turned around and looked at Thomas. When he wanted to ask if Thomas had any suggestions, suddenly a pet dog showed up at the door and wandered around.More funnily, this pet dog was dressed in a white coat of a doctor as if it was cosplaying. It looked so weird.Everyone was instantly attracted by t
Thomas ate some food before he nonchalantly said, “If you asked me two months ago, I’d suggest you open a large branch. But something is different now.”“What’s different now?”“A shop has done something you want to do, and they entered the market first. So, this time you’re here in the Southland District not to make any arrangements, but to grab the market. You should take the market from other people.”Zach asked, “Which company entered the market here?”“Elite Jewelry.”Thomas remembered it very clearly. At the last funeral, the owner of Elite Jewelry had openly provoked him and arranged for some people to block his way.Thomas did not forget this account.Then, Thomas had also asked his people to investigate Elite Jewelry. The current owner of Elite Jewelry was a businessman called Weiss. The identity of this person was very unique. He had been making arrangements all over the world, and he had just arrived in the Southland District recently.Thomas also did not know how he
Thomas remained calm and sat there quietly as if he did not hear anything.Subsequently, everyone chatted happily while they drank wine, and they had a fun time talking.About ten minutes later, Benjamin’s phone rang.He chuckled and said, “The staff downstairs are calling me. They must have invited the leader. Let me answer the call.”Benjamin picked up the call. After he talked for a while, he looked very happy.Then, he hung up.He looked happy as he said, “Mr. Quinn, I did it. The leader is called Harvard Hill. He is the person in charge of Hill Nuclear Manufacturing Company as well as the person in charge of the project in Northern Wilderness. I’ve already invited him to come over!”Zach was very happy. “Oh? We must treat him well today.”Benjamin purposely looked at Thomas, and he asked in a provocative tone, “Dr. Mayo, since you’ve also thought about this, why didn’t you invite Mr. Hill to come over?”His words were full of sarcasm that was very mocking.Everyone knew
Zach hoped Thomas could calm himself down, and all of them could get along in harmony.In fact, Zach really misunderstood Thomas. He did not say those words in anger.Sometimes, truth did not sound good, and it was easy to be treated as words of anger. Meanwhile, fake and empty words sounded more comfortable.He felt helpless.When everyone went downstairs, they saw Harvard in a professional suit and tie walking toward them.Zach went forward.After he said politely, he personally led Harvard to walk upstairs.Benjamin felt happy.When they went upstairs later, he must sit next to Harvard and make Harvard take the main position. Zach and he would sit beside Harvard. For that Thomas, he could go wherever he wanted.Haha! An outsider wanted to bully him using the relationship with Zach?What a dream!As Benjamin thought about it, he showed a smile, and respectfully invited Harvard to go upstairs.Harvard also felt very prideful.Honestly, he never enjoyed such treatment in t
Benjamin found it hard to enjoy the meal. He did not eat much as he just stared at Thomas and Harvard who were talking happily.The guest whom he invited was very close with Thomas. What the heck was this?In a while, Zach said his real purpose. He wanted to cooperate with Harvard and obtain more collaborations with the development of Northern Wilderness.Harvard patted his chest and said, “No problem. Just count this matter on me. I can be very responsible to tell you that I’m also looking for a premium collaborator like you, Mr. Quinn.”When Zach heard it, he felt happier.The two of them chatted happily while drinking.At the banquet, all of them kept talking and laughing happily. Only Benjamin showed a dark expression.Finally, the banquet came to an end.Harvard stood up and said, “I want to go back and do preparation for the project, so I can’t stay here any longer. I have to leave first. Please enjoy!”Zach was the first to stand up. “Have a safe drive, Mr. Hill.”“Tha
They walked into the first shop. There was a large amount of rough stone in the shop, and the owner was very friendly as he came to treat them.“Hello, are you looking for rough stones?”“Yeah.”Benjamin casually looked around to see the stocks in the shop.Thomas was also looking around.As Thomas glanced around, he suddenly felt that the Breath in his body seemed to be responding to the rough stone in the shop.This made him feel surprised.He used the Breath when he was practicing the medical skills, and it was also helpful in battling. But, he did not expect that the Breath could respond with the rough stones in the shop.Thomas felt like he was standing in a huge forest. Every rough stone was like a tree, and there were chirping cicadas on the tree.Some chirping were very loud, while some chirping were quite weak.Thomas frowned. What was going on?He calmed himself down to feel the responses. Slowly, he got the trick.It seemed that the louder the chirping was, the m
Benjamin felt extremely happy. He finally made the owner stop insisting.Actually, he also understood it. The most treasured piece in the shop? That was just trying to fool people. As long as he could afford a high price, he would be able to get it.Zach felt worried as he asked, “Benjamin, won’t we suffer any loss if we buy a rough stone with three million dollars?”Benjamin confidently said, “Mr. Quinn, the purity of this rough stone is very high, and it has a big size. As long as we develop it reasonably, we can produce a few products like jade, bracelets, and necklaces. If we package them, any of them can be sold at three million dollars. This rough stone enables us to earn at least double to triple prices!”Wish was always beautiful.Benjamin said to the owner, “Open the box and let me see it again.”“Sure.”The owner opened the box again.This time, Benjamin reached out to take the rough stone out. He played it with his hands and carefully looked at it.This time, he wan
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
