Just like today’s incident, if it were not for Drake’s help, Harvard would have definitely suffered a setback. “All right, watch out for yourself. We’re leaving now.”Following that, Thomas and Emma left together.......At this precise moment, in a ward at Third Southland General Hospital, Weiss got out of the bed and got dressed properly. With the ample rest he got over the past few days, his body had basically recovered fully. As for his psychological problems, it could not be resolved in such a short period of time. He was afraid he would only be able to heal his wounded heart only if Thomas was dead. Thump, thump, thump. He heard a series of footsteps approaching, and then Draco Laine, Weiss’s lackey, entered the room. "Mr. Weiss, the discharge processes have been completed, and you can leave at any time." “Hmm.”Weiss had his discharge papers in hand and was ready to leave.“Uhm, where are we heading now? Are we going to meet up with Master Centipede in Central
The two left the hospital in a grey sedan. “Where are we heading now, Mr. Weiss?” Draco asked.“The warehouse,” Weiss answered quietly. Warehouse?Despite the fact that the company had been mortgaged by the bank, the cargo they had spent so much money on was still there.Back then when they hosted the previous lapidary livestream, a lot of cargo was left unused and stored in the warehouse. Without a doubt, they were all considered garbage.No one would even look at this junk, and the banks were just as uninterested. The various buyers were not foolish, and they refused to accept it as well, so everything was stacked up in the warehouse for the time being.“Isn’t all of the cargo considered junk, Mr. Weiss? Did you forget about how we got scammed by that unit of cargo? Why are you returning to look for bad luck?” Draco asked, perplexed.“Thomas, that bastard, fooled me with that pile of junk. Why can’t I use it to trick him if he can use it to trick me?” Weiss let out a snort.
How would a stranger know his phone number? Why would a stranger be looking for him?Thomas accepted the call, but he was not in a hurry to say anything.“Hello, is this Mr. Mayo?” A man’s voice could be heard from the other end of the line. “Yes, I am.” Thomas immediately answered. “Please listen to me carefully, Mr. Mayo. I need to tell you something very important—”Later, the words he said sparked a series of deep thoughts in Thomas.......Day gradually gave way to night.The moon rose higher and higher until it hung like a giant sickle in the dark sky.The night was quiet and still. On this seemingly ordinary night, very extraordinary things were happening. Outside Stellar Jeweler’s warehouse, a group of people clambered over the wall stealthily and sneaked in boxes and crates of heavy cargo. They then discreetly transferred the several boxes to the warehouse door.After making sure no one had noticed them, one of the people took out the key they had copied befo
In the blink of an eye, three days had passed.Delicious food was served on hundreds of tables at a hall built during the first phase of the Northern Wilderness project. Every prestigious individual in Southland District was present.The whole hall was filled with high-ranking officials, celebrities, and superstars, adding a grandiose atmosphere to the occasion.Everyone sat down one by one according to their seats.There were numerous 100-inch large screens hanging around the hall. Each screen corresponded to a live broadcast room. In total, it made up hundreds of live broadcast rooms that corresponded to dozens of jewelry companies.Today, most jewelry companies in the entire Southland District had joined forces for this live lapidary.This was a feast for all jewelry companies in all of Southland District.At the same time, this feast would be signifying a great start for the luxury items projects in Northern Wilderness as a measure to attract more people to spend their money
“Thomas, then I’ll see whether you’ll still be able to laugh after this?!”“Yes, you can.”At that moment, Harvard stepped up and said, “What for? Are you even permitted to stay here to watch? Security, hurry up and chase these bastards away for me.”“Wait a moment.” Thomas tried to stop him. Anyone that came to the door is our guest. Since Weiss, the general manager, wants to see our live lapidary, why not let him see it? You know, they have spent three billion to buy a pile of worthless stones for a lapidary back in time. He almost died on the hospital bed after that. Now, can’t we just let this guy quench his thirst of seeing this?”Harvard nodded, “Well, I’ll let them stay and watch. However, if they dare to do anything wrong, I will throw them all out immediately.”In terms of defending Thomas, no one would be more proactive than Harvard.Thomas waved and said, “Don’t let them just stand, come on, offer them a seat.”Immediately, a waiter brought chairs to Weiss and Harvard
Thomas gazed at Weiss with a smirk. His gaze was making Weiss very uncomfortable.“Weiss, what are you talking about?”“Why would I mess around with my own rough stones?”Weiss also felt that he had said something wrong. ‘Why would Thomas mess around with his own things?’‘But I have to admit that I had rigged it in my favor. So, it would be impossible for the current situation to happen which has allowed Thomas to get top-quality rough stones one after another.‘All of his worthless rough stones suddenly became premium stones. How could this even be possible?’Weiss gritted his teeth and continued to look on.The more he looked on, the more shocked he got, and it was making his blood ‘boil’.During the next period of time, Weiss really witnessed a moment of miracle. The quality of this batch of rough stones owned by Stellar Jewelers was too high. Almost one-third of the rough stones were top-quality rough stones.Not only Stellar Jewelers, but other jewelry companies also had
He had just recovered from an illness, so he was advised not to get angry or fall into anxiety or irritation.But after being fooled by Thomas, Weiss was furious and irritable, and his body was naturally overwhelmed.The new injuries and old injuries were erupting altogether.Weiss’ face turned pale and was on the verge of fainting.He pointed at Thomas and was unable to scold him even if he wanted to.‘What’s the use of scolding him?’He was the one who had taken the initiative to provoke others. If he was willing to admit defeat and submit to Thomas’ formidable strength, he would not end up like this.Weiss had lost and it could only be described in three words: ‘unwilling to submit’.In confronting others, he might still be able to fight back if he was unwilling to submit. However, he really could not fight back because Thomas was the person he was confronting now.Regardless of it bering mental strength or physical strength, Weiss was less competent than Thomas.In the en
In Central City, Kelvin Davidson, who was known by others as the ‘Master Centipede’ was at his luxurious office situated in the iconic building ‘H’. Sitting on the leather sofa and holding a cigarette in his hand, he was staring at what was in front of him with his hollow eyes.He casually threw his mobile phone on the ground. At the same time, the cigarette butts were all over the floor. This also showed that he did not know how many cigarettes he had smoked and for how long he had smoked.In the past, no matter how annoying things were, a cigarette would be enough to calm him down.There was nothing he could not get over with one cigarette. If there was something that really bothered him, he would smoke two cigarettes.But today, after smoking a dozen or twenty cigarettes in a row, Master Centipede could not heal the pain in his heart, just because his most beloved son had died.Upon receiving the bad news of Weiss’ tragic death, Master Centipede felt that his whole world came
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
