Thomas’ superb inspection accuracy had long been known to everyone.Alton was helpless and nodded, “Okay, I’ll keep an eye on him at once.”In the next few days, Stellar Jewelers continued to make big moves. The company had collected funds from global branch companies and successfully raised two billion and five hundred million dollars of purchasing funds in three days.Then, Thomas personally contacted the three major suppliers to purchase the opponent’s raw stones at three times the original price. The only requirement was Thomas would be the one to personally select the raw stones.So, something unprecedented happened.Thomas had sat in the suppliers’ warehouse and assigned two assistants to deliver the raw stones to him. He would be the sole person to decide which raw stone to purchase.Then, he started off by inspecting them one by one.Based on this rhythm, it would take more than ten days to sort out all the raw stones from the three major suppliers.During this period,
After more than a week, Thomas successfully sorted out all the top-quality raw stones. He discussed matters with the three major suppliers, and promised to give them each eight hundred million dollars in purchases. A total of two billion and four hundred million dollars’ funds would be spent for this purpose.Now, the last thing was to sign the contract and pay the money.Since such a large amount of purchase funds would require a little time to prepare, Thomas had reached an agreement with them to sign the contract and pay the money in two days.Thomas had repeatedly exhorted them not to sell these raw stones to others. These raw stones could only be sold to Stellar Jewelers, and only to Thomas.The three major suppliers fully agreed with him.In fact, even if they did not agree on it, there would not be other companies that were willing to buy these raw stones.Besides, if other companies dared to buy this batch of goods, they would be setting themselves against Stellar Jeweler
“That’s right, I happen to know this bathhouse which is very comfortable.”Oswin Wilton nodded. “That would be nice. Coincidentally, I have not taken a bath for two days, my body is aching all over. Let’s go get a bath together.”Hence, Oswin headed to the bathhouse named “Water Lotus” via Weiss’s car.The receptionist led them into a private room.Weiss kept his mouth shut regarding the purchase. He took Oswin around and had fun. They took a shower in the bathhouse first. Then, they had a bottle of high-quality wine, which allowed Oswin to enjoy himself.Oswin was in a great mood as he laid on the bed in the private room. He pointed at Weiss and said, “Weiss, among so many partners, you know me the best. Alright, don’t keep me guessing your intentions here, you can be straightforward with me.”There was no free meal in this world. He brought him to a bathhouse and treated him to fine wine. It was impossible that it was just for the sake of having fun, there was definitely a purp
Weiss laid in silence, pressed his phone, and sent out a short message.In less than half a minute, someone came knocking on the door.Before Weiss could speak, Oswin Wilton shouted impatiently, “Who is it? Why are you being so annoying? Don’t you know this is a private room? Who asked you to knock? Get lost.”He vented all his anger on the one knocking on the door.A tender voice from a woman came from the other side of the door. “Sorry for disturbing you sir, please forgive me.”Hmm?Oswin who was laying on got up instantly, his eyes brightened up.This was a male bathhouse, why was a woman here?And by the sound of it, the woman at the door was definitely a young girl in her twenties. Her tender voice was so charming it made others’ knees go weak.In his entire life, Oswin had an immense interest in one thing, women.Having heard such a tender voice in such an extraordinary venue, was akin to a hungry tiger coming upon a fleshy white rabbit during its hunt. Would the tiger
Oswin Wilton slapped his thigh. “There’s no problem then! Since you are willing to offer a higher price, I don’t see any issues selling them to you. Business is like a battlefield. Since Thomas offered less so it’s normal for his goods to be snatched by others. And with this, I have an answer for outsiders too.”Weiss gave him a concrete reason to change his mind.After all, two hundred million dollars was not a small figure.But of course, what made Oswin falter the most was the charming young lady in front of him.He swallowed his saliva and asked, “Can you tell me if there’s an extensive service here now Weiss?”Weiss laughed out loud.As he laughed, he tidied up his clothes and headed out.“Of course there are extensive services here. But it’s a one on one service, hence it’s not convenient for me to be here.“Mr. Wilton, I’ll be waiting in the lobby.“Take all the time you need and enjoy yourself.”Oswin’s eyes brightened up. He was so excited his heart pumped rapidly to
It was as Thomas Mayo had predicted. He received a call from the two other suppliers stating that they were refusing the cooperation with Thomas Mayo.The reason they gave him was exactly the same. They had sold the goods to Weiss.Thomas sounded very sad on the phone, but after he hung up, his expression changed to being joyful due to victory.When Thomas reached the company, he hid his smile and wore a sad expression as he went in. He slammed the door behind him, showing how angry he was.Naturally, it was witnessed by everyone present.Benjamin Garnett who received news of how disappointed and angry Thomas was, went fleeting with joy. He immediately opened a bottle of champagne to celebrate.The traitor Alton Watson had a glass of red wine in his hand and a smile carved on his face. He said gleefully, “Thomas fell for it completely. He spent more than a week picking the best raw stones but now it’s all gone. How satisfying it is to know that he gained no benefits!”Benjamin Ga
Thomas laughed. “This shows how brilliant Benjamin Garnett is. The cost of buying over a normal employee is far lesser than those in the management team. But their roles and potential to be utilized are immeasurable.“These normal employees belong to the bottom of the hierarchy and are able to survive there all year round. They have a very clear grasp of the ongoings in the company. If there are any movements within the company, they will notify Benjamin immediately.“That is not all, they can fan the flames, praise Benjamin and use all sorts of methods to attack anyone. These people are truly disgusting, being able to create and spout all kinds of nonsense disregarding the authenticity.”That was true.While those of the management level were held responsible for every word they said, the lower hierarchy ones needed not to care about that. They were able to speak and spread rumors however they wanted without needed to suffer the consequences.What was scarier was that they formed
Elite Jewelry held the most grandiose welcoming ceremony ever recorded in history. The banquet hall was full of tables, and all of them were fully occupied.Celebrities from various industries showed up while being very well-dressedWeiss used all his available connections to invite these celebrities only for one single purpose. To allow them to be the witness of a miraculous moment together. Raw stones worth a total of three billion dollars from three different suppliers would be cut open on the spot today.To cope up with the number of people and how grandiose the event was, Weiss prepared fifty cutting machines and sought world-class cutting experts in the industry.At the same time, more than twenty warehouses were opened. There were more than two hundred employees arranged for the transportation of raw stones.The scale for the stone cutting ceremony was the largest ever seen in Southland District and possibly in the world too.Thomas had previously cut a hundred raw stone
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
