Several nurses looked at Thomas Mayo, then back at the man, and said, “We are truly sorry, Mr. Gold, all the single wards are currently occupied. This is the least crowded ward we have available.“But please rest assured, we are doing everything we can to arrange a single ward for you. We will make sure you will be transferred by early tomorrow morning.“Please kindly endure for one night.”The man waved his hand. He was clearly upset. “Fine fine, get out now. I want to sleep.”The nurse nodded. “Mr. Gold, we will leave first. Rest well. If you need anything, kindly press the bell. There will be a nurse on duty who will attend to your needs all day long.Once she gave him all the instructions, she hurried away.Mr. Gold lay down and looked around. The longer he looked at Thomas Mayo, the more upset he grew.He shouted at Thomas, “Hey kid.”Thomas ignored him.Mr. Gold squinted his eyes and said in a dissatisfied tone, “Are you deaf? I am calling you!”Thomas remained silent.
“How about that?”Emma was suddenly speechless.Gold Jerrod was the sponsor for the hospital, so he could do whatever he wanted to and act out of line here? What kind of logic was that?“You, you...” Emma looked at them, unable to utter another word due to anger.Thomas, seeing how things escalated, shook his head as he smiled bitterly. He then lifted his quilt and got out of bed. As he wore his shoes, he said, “Told you I did not need to be hospitalized. How troublesome. Forget it, let’s leave.”Thomas went over, took Emma’s hand, and led her out.It was useless no matter how angry Emma was. This was his territory. No matter how much she complained, the doctor and nurses would not bat an eyelidGold Jerrod said delightfully, “You are willing to get lost at last? Tch, you should have got lost earlier. You just had to tempt me to screw with your life? You’re just asking for trouble.”The doctor bowed and said, “There are no other patients in this ward now. Rest assured Mr. Gol
Emma Hill’s eyes were glued to the main entrance of the hospital, very curious to learn why the police were here too.Roughly ten minutes later, she finally saw what her deepest desires had been picturing in her mind.Gold Jerrod was being brought out of the hospital by the policemen and it was clear as day that his hands had been cuffed. From his ashen look, it did not look like things would end well for him.As he was walking out of the hospital entrance, Thomas Mayo purposely rolled down his window and shouted at Gold Jerrod. “Mr. Gold, you sure are an outstanding person. I guess you are not used to staying in the hospital ward so you decided to stay in the lockup of the police station?”Gold Jerrod raised his head and took a look at Thomas before he quickly lowered his head, ashamed to look at anyone.Gold Jerrod was taken away by the policemen right after.Emma felt much better after she watched everything unfold. It was once said that one should not add insult to injury or
Susan, on the other side of the door, said, “ I miss you all so I’m here to visit. Why are you not awake at this hour Emma?”“You’re a girl Susan, don’t you know what shame is.” Emma’s face once again went all red.They took around ten minutes to wash up and dress properly. They opened the door and saw Susan.Susan was stunningly beautiful today.She wore an orange-laced skirt paired with a plaid coat, akin to a sunflower under the sun, dazzling and youthful.Emma felt subconsciously jealous whenever Susan was around. Although she herself was very beautiful with a pretty face and a good figure, she lacked the youth Susan had. To put it in another way, in front of Susan, Emma felt that she was ‘old’ even though she was only in her twenties.“Sister!” Susan hugged Emma.“Brother-in-law!” Susan hugged Thomas. This made Emma uncomfortable as Susan seemed far happier when she hugged Thomas.Her heart shattered out of jealousy like a glass crashing onto the floor.“Come and have y
“Thank you, aunty!” Susan was extremely happy.There was something more to her happiness. It was not the type of happiness one would feel being able to deal with a blind date. As a woman herself, Emma understood it better. She felt her seat as the ‘main wife’ had encountered some hidden threat.And that challenge came from a very close sister of hers.Emma knew deep inside that Susan must have fallen in love with Thomas. And she was failing to conceal her love for him. Although it was not verbally expressed, everything she did was filled with love. Faced with any other woman, she was not worried. In terms of beauty and cultural aspects, she was not inferior to any other woman. But this was Susan, and for the very first time, she was afraid.Susan had what she did not — youth.No man could resist an energetic, youthful girl. Furthermore, Susan was a university student who gave off a studious air.Emma who had entered the working world at an early age had lost such innocence
“Let me introduce myself, my name is Bradford Samson, son of Lotus Street branch Stellar Jewelers manager.“I just started working last year. Currently, I am undergoing store manager training in the branch. I believe I will take over my father’s position as the store manager soon.”Susan frowned as she listened.She hated those smug-faced guys who thought they were young masters just because their families were wealthy. These youths went about thinking they could pick chicks up anywhere by being good-looking.Hah, what did he think he was made of?Susan replied cold-heartedly, “My father told me the blind date candidate this time is the son of a big entrepreneur. But he is just a store manager’s son? And a single branch to boot. Heh, can that be considered a huge entrepreneur?”Her words were rather harsh.Bradford Samson tidied his shirt and said with a smile, “It is true that our family cannot be considered a big enterprise. But you should know that Stellar Jewelers is one of
Susan was shocked. There was something wrong with what Bradford had said. That was not how things should have turned out. Theoretically, when a normal man heard that his blind date was in a relationship, he would directly stand up, yell at her, and leave. Some grumpy men would even beat their date’s man up.Why did Bradford still have such a good attitude and no intention to fight or scold them?Susan was stunned.If this went on, it would become more and more different from what she had predicted.However, as the “boyfriend”, Thomas seemed to act like this did not concern him. He sat there and drank coffee without any desire to help her. He just wanted to watch Susan make a fool of herself. Susan did not know how she should handle the situation now. She secretly pinched Thomas and signaled him with her eyes.Thomas giggled before he cleared his throat and said, “Mr. Samson, you show promise despite your age. You also look very good-spirited. An outstanding man like you must n
He and his father would be able to earn a lot of money. Why would they be fired?Who would fire them?Who had the power to fire them?In Bradford’s eyes, Thomas was a lousy man who only knew how to brag. He did not need to waste his energy on rebuking Thomas.He stared at Susan and shook his head. “Ms. Musk, you’re great in all aspects except for something.”Susan curled the corner of her lips. “Oh? What is it?”“You have poor judgment.”“I have poor judgment?”“Yeah. Look at you, what kind of person have you gotten to be your boyfriend? He keeps talking nonsense like an idiot.”Susan shook her head and took a sip of her coffee. “I don’t think he is talking nonsense. As long as he says something, it will come true. But Bradford, I think you should have some sense of danger. Maybe you’ll receive a call and be fired soon.”“A call to fire me?” Bradford laughed. “Ms. Musk, why are you joking like him?”Bradford chatted with Susan and did not care about what Thomas said.Five m
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
