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
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
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
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
The autumn wind was cold in early September.Dried leaves fell on his broad shoulders.Thomas Mayo stood under an old tree and was looking at the office building of Shalom Technology.‘Brother, they worked hand-in-hand to set me up. I can’t fight this any longer.’Two months ago, the capital chain of Shalom Technology had ruptured. Its chairman, Scott Mayo was burdened with a huge debt of 1.2 billion dollars. As a result, the company was mortgaged to Darcy Davis of the Skyworld Enterprise.‘Brother, I can’t do this anymore. I’m sorry for leaving first.’At midnight, Scott leaped from the roof of the building and died on the spot. A talented young man of the corporate world of the era died, just like that.Everyone had clearly identified the problem within. The business arena was like a battleground. Scott was just a pitiful sacrifice.In the cold wind, Thomas sucked in a deep breath and raised his head to look at the stars shining in the sky. “Scott, I’m sorry that I was la
On the stage, Darcy raised his head while he looked at Thomas with contempt. He relished the feeling of looking down on people from a superior position.However, Thomas’ expression remained unchanged.Darcy misunderstood that as Thomas not daring to speak out of fear, so he provoked Thomas. “Sorry, I’m a very straightforward person. If I’ve hurt your fragile dignity, I really apologize.“Actually, I know why you’re here today. You just want to extort money from me for your brother’s death, right?“I’ve seen a lot of people like you.”Darcy shrugged and added, “Nevertheless, I can still give you some money. As long as you’re willing to say ‘Scott Mayo deserves to die’ thrice in front of everyone, I’ll agree to give you… hmm… five thousand dollars. Deal?”It was a humiliation.It was a complete humiliation!The people offstage laughed. Everyone was laughing so hard that their bodies shook. Some of them even spat the alcohol out of their mouths because they had burst into laughter
Samson cracked a smile. He understood what Thomas was up to.“By the way, Boss, I just received a notification from the superior.“He says the three districts of Shaol, Desert Cele and Oceania Hail would merge to form Southland district, and you would be the chief officer in charge of this.“Boss, this is a lucrative sinecure!”Thomas looked outside the window and said, “I’m no longer interested in this. Let’s go.”“Huh? Where are we going?”Thomas thought about it for a while, and said, “Since we’re here, let’s take a trip down to my hometown.”After half an hour, the car slowed to a halt.After Samson left, Thomas walked into a prominent district and all the way to a slightly old-fashioned multi-story villa.He knocked on the door several times.“Who’s there?”A middle-aged woman opened the door. She was Thomas’s mother-in-law, Felicia Musk. She was stunned for a few seconds after being greeted by the sight of Thomas. Then, she said happily, “Oh, Thomas, when did you come
After they entered the hotel lobby, they saw that fine dining banquet tables had been neatly arranged.The people who came and left were dressed in luxurious outfits with fancy jewelry. They were also holding glasses of wine while having happy conversations.Emma led Thomas to a table at the center of the hall and smiled as she spoke to an old man. “Grandpa!”The old man was the current head of the Hill family, Richard Hill.He narrowed his eyes. “Hello, Emma. Why have you only arrived now? I’ve been waiting for you in agony. Come on, have a seat.”When he turned around, he saw Thomas beside Emma. “Who is this?” he asked in confusion.Emma lowered her head and responded with a lack of confidence, “He’s my husband, Thomas Mayo.”“Oh?”Richard sized Thomas up before he said, “I heard that you joined the army. I didn’t expect you to be back today. Come, have a seat.”“Thank you, Grandpa.”As soon as Thomas sat down, Harvard Hill sarcastically questioned him from across the tab
