All of them came to court, and they could immediately see Thomas sitting in the iron chair in the rest area.When Thomas saw the people coming over, he got up, tidied his outfit, and walked over.“You guys are here.”Calix was a little surprised. He really did not expect Thomas to really be waiting here.Logically, Thomas was unable to take $900,000,000. He could ask people for help, but Conley had informed all who could afford such an amount of money in the city. It was impossible for anyone to lend Thomas a hand.After Calix thought for a while, he still could not think of any way that enabled Thomas to collect enough money.Calix asked, “How are you going to clear your debt?”Thomas cast a glance at his watch before he indifferently said, “I’ve asked someone to come over, and he’ll be here in ten minutes. He’ll help me clear my debt. Oh yeah, it’s not $900,000,000. Instead, we’re paying $1,200,000,000. After I clear all my debt, I want to get Shalom Technology back.”Calix n
“Why not?”Calix said, “Don’t forget that this is a court, and everything has to undergo the legal process. You might not be able to clear your debt even if you’re rich. If he doesn’t pass the audit, there must be some issues with your money, which means that you won’t be able to pay it off even if you’re rich.”He had made it very clear.Calix had predicted Thomas’ method a long time ago, so he had made the necessary arrangements.Clarus, who was the executive officer carrying out the audit, had been bribed by Calix. So, the audit was destined to fail. No matter how rich Camus was, he would not be able to help Thomas pay his debt.So, Thomas’ method was destined to fail.Emma could also hear the threat in Calix’s words. She frowned and angrily scolded, “How could you do that?”Calix smiled. “What did I do? I’m a businessman, and I just use the most suitable method. You guys will never be able to clear this debt.”He purposely moved closer to whisper into Thomas’ ear, “Also, le
“It’s not too late for you to understand it now. Just don’t get involved with a poor guy like Thomas anymore,” Clarus said.Camus kept all his documents away while he asked, “But, it’s illegal if you do this. Aren't you scared of being found out by your superior?”Clarus spread his hands. “If you and I don’t speak of it, why would my superior find out? Besides, who would go against Skyworld Enterprise for no reason?”Camus shook his head and smiled bitterly before he silently took out a badge and put it on the table.“Clarus Hart, do you know this?”“Huh? That is…” Clarus put his legs down and moved closer. Upon closer inspection, his expression totally froze in an instant.He naturally knew the badge. It belonged to the chief officer in charge of the Southland District!Clarus was just an executive officer in the court. Honestly, he was just an ordinary staff member. On the other hand, Camus was holding the badge that belonged to the chief officer in charge of the Southland D
Thomas’ expression did not change as if everything had happened within his expectations.Calix, on the other hand… He looked like he had seen the end of the world. He was stunned as he stared at Clarus, and the smile on his face stiffened. His mood became extremely bad.Clearly, everything had been planned well. But, why had it resulted in such an outcome?“It’s impossible. There must be a problem with this.”Calix questioned Clarus, “Clarus Hart, did you look into it properly?”Clarus raised his head and confidently said, “I’ve been working in this field for more than ten years. Would I be unable to figure it out? If you have any problem with me, you can find another officer to conduct the audit again.”“You!” Calix was surprised. He wondered why the timid Clarus would suddenly dare to speak to him in such a tone, as though he had someone’s support.“Clarus, are you mad? Do you know what you’re talking about? Do you want to go against the Skyworld Enterprise?”Clarus scoffed
On the way home, Emma walked next to Thomas. There were a lot of things that they wanted to say, but they did not know how they should open up.In the end, Emma took the initiative to say, “Thomas, congratulations on getting rid of the debt crisis.”Thomas felt very sorry as he said, “I’m sorry. I made you suffer with me because of the debt these two days.”Right then, the unhappiness and pain from the past faded away.Emma pouted. “Hmph! Of course, I suffered. I nearly…” As she said that, she stopped herself.She did not want to tell Thomas about the blind date as that would only make him angry. It would also worsen his relationship with Johnson.Since the debt had been cleared, there was no need to talk about those useless things anymore.Thomas curiously asked, “What’s happened to you?”Emma snorted. “I nearly abandoned you and got married to another rich and powerful man.”Her words were partially true.Thomas did not get angry. Instead, he felt warm.With Emma’s condi
“Stop making a fuss here, Young Master.”While they spoke, they arrived in the lobby.All the staff members could be seen standing in two rows. They bowed to Ben and respectfully said, “Mr. Caspian.”“Mr. Caspian.”Ben was stunned. He had not wrapped his mind around it. “Young Master, what’s going on now?”Thomas smiled as he said, “Uncle Ben, from today onward, you’re the general manager of Shalom Technology. You will handle all company affairs.”“Huh? What…” Ben dared not believe it, but he had to believe him as it just happened right before his eyes.Thomas moved forward and whispered into Ben’s ear, “Uncle Ben, do you still remember our agreement? As long as I get Shalom technology back, you’ll return and help me. Why? Do you want to go back on your word?”“Did… Did you just… get… Shalom Technology back?”Ben was so shaken that his eyes became teary.Scott’s death and the loss of Shalom Technology were scars that he had been unable to rid.Now, Thomas had helped him tu
Darcy knew the ending the moment he entered the office.However, he felt reluctant.He could get a few hundred thousand dollars in salary in Shalom Technology every year. If he was fired, where else could he get such a good job?Without his background in Shalom Technology, Skyworld Enterprise would definitely not have recruited him. Other companies would also not hire him since they would fear his background of betraying his former boss. Once he was fired, he would be completely over in this field.As a result, he felt embarrassed while he knelt down and said, “Mr. Caspian, I’m sorry. I’ll change. Please don’t chase me out.”Ben sneered. “How can you still shamelessly stay here? When I see you, I’m reminded of Scott’s death. Asking you to get out is my biggest mercy. Do you want me to kill you?”“No, please don’t!”Darcy quickly got up and moved back. “Mr. Caspian, I understand. I’m leaving now.”He left immediately, and Brendon quickly followed him. Two of them ran away from
After he spoke, he raised his head and looked at Thomas. He could not help but ask, “Are you a soldier from the west coast?”Thomas made the right guess.“You can see it?”“Your aura is the same as my comrades-in-arms on the west coast. This kind of army aura cannot be found in normal people. It’s even unique among soldiers of the west coast.”Thomas smiled. He pointed at his broken arms and asked, “What happened to this?”“I ran out of bullets when I faced three enemies alone. They cut it off.”“You’re quite capable of being able to survive in that kind of environment. What’s your name?”“Griffin Jones.”“Are you interested in working for me?”Griffin lowered his head and chuckled. “I just want to live a normal life now. Fighting is not related to me anymore.”As they talked, a car from the Urban Management Bureau drove over from afar.When the door of the car was opened, three men in temporary uniforms got down from the car. Although they were temporary workers, they had h
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
