Kaiser’s secret was exposed, so he widened his eyes. He took a stick out from under his arms before he pointed at Thomas and said, “Are you freaking fed up with living? How dare you mind my business? Do you know who I am?” “Who are you?”“Haha! Go and ask around. Who doesn't know Kaiser Norris a.k.a. Thanatos in this area?”Thomas pointed at the temporary staff card on Kaiser’s sleeve. “Aren’t you a temporary worker? How could you be so bossy?”Kaiser sneered. He pointed the stick at Thomas. “Bossy? You will know what bossy means now!”He lifted his stick and wanted to hit Thomas, but he was kicked to the floor by Thomas.The other colleagues came over to help him, but they were also kicked away by Thomas. Three of them were settled in the blink of an eye.Kaiser covered his face and said, “You dare to hit me? You’re done! You’re done!”He took his phone out and made a call to the Urban Management Bureau to ask more people to come over and help.Griffin walked over and pulled
A sentence made Asher nearly have a heart attack. His status was totally different from the chief officer in charge. No matter how bold he was, he also dared not do anything to the chief officer in charge.After Asher understood what was going on there, the experienced Asher realized Thomas’ true identity.He respectfully stood beside Thomas and gulped. “I’m sorry, it’s my fault for not doing my duty well. Please forgive me.”What he said made Kaiser and the permanent workers so shocked that they staggered. Their superior was so polite to Thomas. How noble Thomas could be?Thomas waved his hand and said, “Two applications are needed for just a permit. Do you teach your subordinates to do things like this?”Asher’s forehead was covered in cold sweat. “No, this is not our system. Their subordinates are the ones who simply implemented the charges.”“Haha!” Thomas coldly said, “All right, stop acting. I’ll find you to settle your mistakes later. I just want to ask you how you’re go
God… of War?Every soldier on the west coast knew this name. He was the god of the west coast!He won in every battle, and he never failed in attacking enemies!Griffin had heard a lot about the legend surrounding Thomas. But, his status was very low, and he had never seen Thomas on the west coast.Today, his dream finally came true.Being able to work under God of War was the wish of every soldier on the west coast.Griffin nodded for the sake of his daughter, for fulfilling his wish, and for improving their current condition.“I’m willing to follow you, God of War, to conquer the world and fight on the battlefield!”As he said, he got down on one knee and lowered his head. This was his highest respect toward Thomas.“Haha!” Thomas happily laughed loudly. He reached out to help Griffin get up before he said, “Don’t worry, I definitely won’t ask you to conquer the world. You still need to take care of your daughter. Fighting is not suitable for you.“What I like about you i
“Also, I’ll give you one million dollars of startup funds. Is it enough?”“Yes, it’s more than enough. I won’t even finish it.” Griffin had never seen such a huge amount of money before, so he was so agitated that he did not know what he should say.Thomas nodded. “It’s great that it’s enough. Lastly, don’t call me God of War. Just call me Boss.”“Yes, Boss.”Griffin asked, “Boss, you’re treating me so well. I really don’t know how I should repay your kindness.”“Do you want to repay?” Thomas sat down. “I’m hungry now. You can repay me by cooking using the ingredients available in the kitchen for me to eat.”“Haha! I’ll do it right away!”Griffin put his daughter on the mini sofa in the lobby before he went to work in the kitchen.While he was cooking, Nephele blinked and stared at Thomas.Thomas smiled. He asked, “What are you looking at?”“I want to see if you have any superpower.”“Oh? Why would you say that?”“Because Daddy hasn’t smiled for a long time, but you can mak
Felicia thought for a while. Recently, Thomas really made her change her perspective. Although he still seemed to be poor and jobless, he could solve everything smoothly. Therefore, Felicia also slowly trusted Thomas.“All right, Tom, I’ll leave this to you.“You have to find a reliable chef. Don’t embarrass me.”Thomas nodded. “Mom, don’t worry, you won’t be embarrassed.”Felicia stood up and said, “I’ll go back to the room and rest first. Two of you should also rest early. If you have the time these two days, you can prepare the gift. Remember to bring it along to Grandma’s birthday party. We must mind our courtesy.”“We got it, Mom.”Thomas went back to the room with Emma.Emma pressed Thomas down on the bed before she stared at him.Thomas felt a little frightened due to being stared at, so he asked, “What… are you doing?”“I want to see if you’re an alien in Thomas Mayo’s skin, and you purposely pretend to be Thomas and approach me.”Thomas burst out laughing. “Why do yo
The next morning, Thomas was woken up by the noisy ringtone of the phone.He carefully got off the bed, trying not to wake Emma up. Then, he took his phone and left the room.“Hello, Uncle Ben, it’s so early now. What’s up?”“Young Master, please come to the company. I want to show you the latest research outcome!”Thomas smiled bitterly. Ben was old, but he was really good-spirited, especially when it was related to Shalom Technology. He would even focus on his work so much that he did not bother sleeping and eating.Thomas hung up, got changed, and rushed to Shalom Technology.As soon as he got into the office, he was pulled by Ben to get into the laboratory. Ben pointed at a product that looked like a wheelchair, and said, “Young Master, look at this.”Thomas sized it up and asked, “This is… a wheelchair?”“You’re wrong. This is the technological product of a new era. It’s a booster.”“Booster? What is it?”Ben explained, “When Young Master Scott was alive, he focused on t
It was already two days later in the blink of an eye, and the birthday of Emma’s grandmother had arrived.Uncoincidentally, something happened to the reconstruction project in the Hill family’s main company, and Emma needed to go over and solve it. So, she was unable to attend the birthday party.Therefore, only Johnson, Felicia, and Thomas rushed to the birthday party.The banquet was held in the top restaurant in the city, which was Crane Hill Restaurant. They hired the best chef to prepare a total of fifty tables of delicious food.The Musk family invited all the family members and relatives. They even invited some friends who were related to their family business. After Johnson and his family arrived, they were welcomed by Felicia’s brother, Adrian Musk. Felicia and Adrian had not met for a long time, so they could not help but talk for a little after they met.“Is Emma not coming?” Adrian asked.“Yea, that girl has been very busy recently. She can’t get away from her job i
Thomas frowned. How should he react to this kind of nonsense?Susan angrily said, “Felix Crawford, keep your smelly mouth shut!”“Hmph!”During the time they argued, the birthday party officially started. The tables were served with dishes, and everyone started eating.To make Felix angry, Susan purposely picked a piece of meat and put it on Thomas’ plate. Then, she said in a coquettish tone, “Tom, try this meat and see if it tastes good.”Felix looked at them, and he felt angry.He slammed the cutlery on the table before he sarcastically asked, “Thomas, I heard that you’ve been staying at your wife’s house after you retired from the army. You don’t even have a job, right?”Everyone at the table looked at Thomas with contempt.Sons-in-law who relied on their wives were despised by people the most. When people saw Susan treat Thomas in such a flattering way, it further confirmed his reputation as a boy toy.Susan was furious, so she defended Thomas. “Isn’t it none of your busin
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
