A row of them walked toward the building’s main entrance in order.

There were a few dozen guards at the main entrance, and the guards in the innermost row were armed. It was a sign that the people who went there today were of high status.

Donald and the other two approached the building’s entrance, followed by Thomas and Emma.

A few of them were stopped by the guards at the door at the same time.

“Please present your identity card.”

Harvard arrogantly passed his identity card to the guard before he turned around and gazed at Thomas. “Look carefully, this isn’t a place where people like you can visit.”

The guard scanned his identity card with the machine, and a very obvious, big red “X” was instantly shown.

The armed guards immediately came over and stopped Harvard.

Harvard was so terrified that his complexion turned pale. “Hey, what’s happening?”

The guard directly returned his identity card. “You’ve been blacklisted. You’re forbidden from entering the building. Please leave.”

“That can’t be, right?”

Harvard turned around and looked at Donald. Did Donald not say that he had gotten him an invitation? Why was he unable to enter and even blacklisted?

Donald frowned and said, “Hey brother, I wonder if you’ve made a mistake. I personally asked for his invitation.”

“People on the blacklist are not allowed to enter. There is no mistake at all.”

Jade was angry. “Hey, why are you speaking like that? Do you know who my husband is? He’s the deputy commander in the Eastland war zone. Do you want to get kicked out of the military?”

The guards glared at Jade in unison.

“Are you threatening us?”

The guards grasped their guns tightly, and that frightened Jade to the point that she moved behind Donald.

Donald’s official position was not low, but today, he was not a big deal in front of the new chief officer. Not to mention, all the people there were from the West Coast. They would not be bothered with a deputy commander from the Eastland war zone.

Donald had never been treated like that before, so he became a little mad.

He suppressed his anger and said, “Fine, Harvard, don’t go inside first. Jade, come inside with me.”

“No, Donald.”

Who would have known…

The guard then extended his hand toward Donald. “Please present your identity card.”

“Huh?”

The embers of anger in Donald burst into flames. “What did you say?”

“Please present your identity card!”

The guards lifted their guns and pointed them at Donald as well as his wife. If he disobeyed, they would be forced to leave.

Donald’s complexion turned pale. “I’m a deputy commander in the Eastland war zone. Don’t you know that I’ve been invited to attend the succession ceremony?”

“For the last time, please show us your identity card. Otherwise, don’t blame us for anything that happens to you.”

“Dear…” Jade pulled Donald by the arm to urge him not to persist. These guards did not look like they were kidding.

“Great, just great... I’ll remember you.”

Donald handed his identity card over, and the guard took it. Scanning it with the machine, a prominent red “X” was instantly shown.

“What…” Donald immediately became dumbfounded.

The guard returned the identity card to him. “You’re also on the blacklist. You’re not allowed to enter. Please leave.”

Donald was so mad that he trembled. He was a deputy commander and only had one superior in the Eastland war zone. Everyone had to be polite whenever they saw him. When did he start suffering from such humiliation?

He had been invited there, but why had he been blacklisted?

“There’s something wrong with your machine. Go and get a new machine here,” Donald demanded in a tough tone.

“You have no right to order us. Everyone on the blacklist, please leave immediately, or else we will take drastic measures.”

“How dare you!”

A few guns were simultaneously pointed at Donald, and it forced him to take a few steps back.

“You’re such ungrateful brats! Let’s wait and see. I’m calling my superior now and removing all of you!”

By the time he got ready to make the call, Thomas had led Emma over.

“Excuse me, we’re in a hurry. Please let us go inside first,” Thomas said nonchalantly.

Donald glanced at him impatiently.

“What are you doing, trash? Can’t you see that I have something to do?”

Thomas shrugged. “Something to do? I can just see a few people who are unqualified to enter but still unwilling to leave. It’s so embarrassing.”

“You!” Donald got so furious that he became speechless.

Harvard yelled, “Thomas Mayo, don’t play dumb! We can’t go in, but you can? Hurry up and get lost! Stop being so shameless here.”

Thomas chuckled. “I’ve made it clear that I know whether I can go inside or not, unlike some people who have no idea about their qualifications. How pathetic!”

He took the initiative to hand his identity card to the guard.

The guard scanned his identity card on the machine, and it showed “Passed”.

“Welcome,” the guard said respectfully.

Thomas pridefully walked into the building right in front of Donald and Harvard.

Donald’s complexion was completely pale, and he felt sickened as if he had eaten a fly.

He had previously said that Thomas was rash, and he had mocked Thomas for not knowing the situation clearly because not everyone could go inside. In the end, Thomas had easily gone inside, while he had been stopped outside. Nobody could tell who the real trash was.

Subsequently, Emma carefully handed her identity card over, and the scan also showed “Passed”.

“Welcome, Madam.”

The guards were very respectful toward people who could enter the building.

Emma looked dumbfounded as she entered the building. She also never expected things to end like this.

She was so lucky to go inside a place where even Donald could not enter.

Thomas held Emma’s hand and said to the people in front of the door, “Jade, Donald, you don’t have to be sad. I’ll take some photos and buy you souvenirs. You should go home first. You can watch it on the television, and it’ll be the same.”

His words made Donald tremble with anger, and he nearly wanted to smash his phone on the floor.

Jade was even more embarrassed, and her face turned red. She had even asked Emma to go back first. What just happened? She was the one who had to go back now.

“It’s impossible. This can’t happen. Why can that trash go inside, but we’re stopped outside?

“There must be something wrong with the machine.

“Let me go inside!”

Harvard pounced on the guard like a mad person, but the guard kicked him, and he lay on the floor with a loud thud. Next, the guard fired a bullet next to Harvard’s leg on the floor.

At that moment, Harvard was so terrified that he peed and wet his pants.

Thomas shook his head slightly. It was really foolish to make a scene in such a place.

He held Emma’s hand and ignored those people at the entrance while he walked into the hall.

On the way, Emma felt as if she was dreaming. Everything seemed incredibly surreal until Thomas smiled faintly and asked her, “Are you happy?”

“Yes…”

Emma was stunned for a while before she unwittingly broke into a faint smile. She could not suppress her happiness, and the emotions she had held back for so many years finally came out at this time.

“Hmph! I won’t be smug like you. I’m not happy.” Emma turned around, but she smiled more brightly.

    The duo arrived at the venue. At one glance, they saw Johnson carrying a gift box. He was pacing back and forth and looking anxious.“Father.” Emma walked over to him.“Why are you guys here?” Johnson was caught by surprise.Emma pointed at Thomas, and said, “He asked his friends to get us two passes. So, we are here to have a look.”“He’s able to get the passes?”Thomas smiled as he said, “A comrade of mine when I was still a soldier on the west coast is a good friend of the organizer of this ceremony. Therefore, he got me two passes through internal channels.” Johnson nodded and said, “So that’s how it is.”Emma asked, “Father, why are you wandering around here?” Johnson frowned deeply, and said, “It’s all about the gift. I’ve bought the Rhapsody beer. But, the problem is that I don’t really have the guts to give them out. Did you know that the beer costs three dollars and sixty cents per bottle only? Is it truly appropriate to give such low-quality beer?”Thomas said, “As

    Samson spoke passionately for a long time on stage. After he finally finished his speech, he left the stage.The host held the microphone and said to everyone in the hall, “The event today has ended. Please exit in an orderly fashion.”The host asked them to leave, but many people still remained in their seats.After a bunch of people left, a man went on stage with a gift. He chuckled while he said to the host, “I’m Rayden Haynes, the General Manager of Victory Heavy Industry. I’ve prepared a small gift to welcome the chief officer in charge. Please pass this to him.”He opened the box, and a ginseng root that had been aged for ten years was visible. It was very pricey!The host nodded. “Don’t worry, I’ll pass it to him.”“Thank you very much.”As soon as Raiden walked down the stage, a second man walked up the stage. People went up one after another to relay their “sincerity” to the host and request that the host hand their gifts to the chief officer.People gave him gold, pea

    “What do you think? Why is the gap that big?”“In my opinion, this is just a gimmick by deliberately giving away trash as padding in order to bring out Michael’s grandeur.” “It makes sense. This time, he truly grabbed all the attention.” Michael’s face was beamed with happiness. He put the key inside the box and passed it to the host.The host carefully placed the box in the center space. Despite Michael’s gift being the smallest, its place was the most conspicuous. Michael returned to his seat and sat cross-legged.“Johnson, what do you think about my gift?”Johnson’s face went livid. He lowered his head without speaking a word. “Hahahaha! Why? Haven’t you always liked to compete with me?“This time, I’ll see how you could still fight with me.“Johnson Hill, let me tell you. This time, I’m certainly going to be promoted as the deputy director, and you'll get lost soon!“You are a loser, just like your son-in-law. There’s a saying that goes, “Birds of a feather flock tog

    Emma felt doubtful. Although she found Thomas’ words unreliable, she still thought that she could have some hope since what he said previously had been accurate.At that moment, Samson reached out to take the key that Michael had contributed.Michael’s face glowed with happiness.He secretly felt delighted. ‘Haha, the chief officer in charge liked Rhapsody beer? He was just putting on a show. In the end, won’t the chief officer in charge still choose my luxurious villa? I haven’t lost yet.’Samson looked at Michael. “Mr. Elon, did you contribute this key?”“Yes, I did.”“Okay. If I’m not mistaken, houses in Wind Ridge Neighborhood are not cheap. Every detached villa in that area is worth at least 20 million on average.”Michael happily said, “It’s expensive but worth it. Only houses at that price are good enough for someone of the chief officer’s status!”There was a cold glint in Samson’s eyes, and he purposely asked, “Did you buy the house?”“Of course.”“Oh?

    “Young Master?” A familiar voice rang out from behind. Thomas slowly lifted his head, only to see the veteran employee of the Mayo family, Ben Caspian.“Uncle Ben.”Ben walked over to him. His body was trembling. He placed a bouquet of fresh flowers in front of the grave. “I never expected the second young master to die before my turn.“To this day, I still can’t believe he was gone. I still often dream about him.“Young Master, I watched the two of you grow up. In my heart, you two are just like my family members. I really couldn’t accept such reality.”As Ben was saying, tears streamed down on his face.Thomas tilted his head to look at the sky. He took a long breath, and said, “I would not forget about Scott’s death.”Ben shook his head, and said, “Young Master, just forget about it. Shalom Technology is already Darcy’s. Moreover, he’s backed up by Skyworld Enterprise, one of the top five conglomerates in the city. How are you going to fight with him?”Thomas did not spe

    Thomas later returned to the townhouse in Metro Garden Neighborhood.When he entered the house, he saw his in-laws sitting on the couch while talking happily to a man. When Felicia noticed that Thomas was back, she waved her hand at him.“Tom, come here. Let me introduce you to Melvin Payne, the son of our next-door neighbor, Mrs. Payne.“Melvin went abroad to study for a few years, and he just came back today.”Melvin extended his hand to Thomas. “Hi.”“Hi.”When Thomas shook hands with Melvin, he could keenly sense that Melvin had put more strength in his grip.Thomas was tall and muscular, so Melvin could tell that he trained in the gym all the time. At that time, Melvin secretly used more strength. If Thomas was an ordinary person, his hand would hurt so much from Melvin’s grip that he would not be able to bear the pain.However… He was still too young for the God of War who had gone on an expedition for many years.Thomas also used more strength, grabbing Melvin’s hand

    After Thomas hung up, he said nonchalantly, “He says he would deliver in ten minutes.”“Pfff! You wouldn’t stop pretending, huh?!” Melvin pointed at his head, and said, “If you could get a basket of diamonds, each of them being the same as mine, I, Melvin Payne would chop off my head, and give it to you as a chair. Otherwise, you will leave Emma.” Emma frowned and said, “What are you talking about?!”Melvin stared at Thomas, “How is it? How about a bet with me if you’re a man?” Thomas fell silent.Emma pulled his sleeve and said, “Just ignore this joker.”Melvin grew more confident when he saw Thomas kept quiet. “Haha! You dare not make a bet with me because I’ve exposed your lies, right?”Thomas shook his head, and said, “No. I just felt a little too much to chop off your head because of such a trivial matter.”“Pooh!” Melvin rose up and said, “Thomas, would you stop bragging?! Let me ask you again, do you dare to make a bet with me or not?!” “Alright. Let’s make a bet, th

    Johnson advised, “The Hill family values personal abilities very much. If you have the same status as Donald, or if the Mayo family still possesses Shalom Technology, a bunch of people will take the initiative to call you and ask you to attend the memorial service before you say anything.“Now, you don’t have money and a bright career, so nobody is willing to acknowledge you. It’d be better if you don’t call them.”Thomas smiled bitterly. “It depends on them whether they want to acknowledge me or not, but it’s also up to me to inform them. Besides, I also want to see how the Hill family treats me.”“Sigh, just make the call if you want.”Firstly, Thomas called the head of the Hill family, Richard.“Hello? Who is this?”“Grandpa, it’s me, Thomas Mayo.”Richard was hesitant for a while. “Thomas? Why are you calling me?”“I just want to inform you that it’ll be my late brother’s birthday in five days. I want to organize a memorial service for him, and I would like to invite you.”

    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
