“You’re such an ungrateful brat, though. How dare you behave so rudely toward me!“You deserve this. Don’t blame me for being so cruel.”Flying Rooster pointed at Thomas. “Go, chop his arms and legs first. Then, hang him up and let him slowly bleed to death!”Such torment was incredibly ruthless.Chopping off his arms and breaking his legs were already cruel, but he still refused to let people die instantly. He even wanted to hang people up, let them bleed out slowly, and wait for death.His horrible methods were terrifying.Thomas shook his head. “I didn’t know that cruel criminals like you still existed in Central City.”As soon as he spoke, a subordinate swung his machete and rushed forward to slash Thomas’ hand.How could a small gangster injure the God of War?Thomas moved sideways to hide from the man. Then, Thomas immediately lifted his arm and grabbed the machete. In the blink of an eye, he raised his arm and swung the machete. Meanwhile, the subordinate did not succes
As Thomas walked toward Flying Rooster, Flying Rooster could feel the air around him become warmer.It felt as if Thomas ignited the air with his fire of anger. It made Flying Rooster become a “grilled rooster,” and he felt extremely uncomfortable.He had never felt that he was so close to death like this before.Flying Rooster’s body was full of sweat as if he had just come out of the shower. His hands and legs subconsciously trembled. He stared at Thomas in front of him, as though he was looking at a ghost.He was frightened and terrified.They were gangsters, which meant their lives were in danger, and it was possible for them to lose their lives at any time.However, Flying Rooster would not have expected to lose his life to Thomas because he had brought a few dozen lackeys. When there were so many people to take care of someone, there should not have been a problem. Why would they be attacked in return?Actually, if he had seen Thomas’ combat ability in the war, he would
Two kilometers?Flying Rooster’s vision turned dark, and he nearly fainted.Was he required to move the $10,000,000 cash money bit by bit to the bank that was located two kilometers away? That would kill him!Thomas frowned. “Why? Are you not willing to do so?”“No, no! I’m willing! I want to!”Thomas said, “I’m telling you, don’t slack. I’ll arrange for someone to supervise you. While you move the money, you’re only allowed to eat rice and vegetables, and you’re allowed to drink plain water only. You’re not allowed to eat other food. Do you understand?”“Yes, I understand.”Flying Rooster’s expression darkened like charcoal.He did not just need to work like a coolie, but he also would not receive any pay. There was also a problem with his food and drink. Such a life was going to last for at least half a month, right?When Flying Rooster thought about it, he cried nonstop.Thomas ordered Aries, “Get someone to watch him. Besides, change my location. This place has been expos
There was something wrong with Nelson’s health, and this was not a secret. Everyone knew about it.Nelson recruited the best doctors from the whole world to treat him every month. But after so many years, his illness was still not cured.Nobody could explain what illness he had.Since so many excellent doctors could not treat him, Nelson must have fallen seriously ill.The problem was if he had contracted a serious illness, why was he still alive after so many years? But, if he had just been plagued with an ordinary illness, why was he still not cured?Some people also questioned the doctors who used to treat Nelson.What disease did he have?Nobody was able to explain it.Nelson had a very strange illness. It made people feel quite strange. He was like the Dracula in the scary vampire story. There were even rumors about Nelson being bitten by vampires, so he did not fall sick, but he became a vampire, and he needed to suck human blood for a living every month.Naturally, such
“Oh?” Master Centipede laughed loudly.Men had weaknesses.Some people were greedy for money, some people desired power, and more people were desperate for women!Laura’s appearance and figure were perfect, and she had attracted countless men. Besides, her icy cold character emitted an aura that only allowed others to watch her from afar but not obtain her. This made men even crazier.So, she just needed to sacrifice herself a little, and she would be able to make Socrates fall deeply for her.To test him out, Master Centipede asked, “Don’t blame me for being nosy. This mission is very important. Mr. Socrates, are your medical skills sufficient to handle this?”Although he was straightforward, he needed to ask.It had been so many years, but many top and famous doctors in the world were unable to cure Nelson. This meant that his illness was very serious.Therefore, general doctors were not qualified to treat Nelson.Only doctors with excellent medical skills could stay in the
Two days passed in the blink of an eye, and the doctor selection that was held once a month in Sterling Technology officially started.Thomas was dressed in a formal suit and a pair of leather shoes. He even purposely put on a pair of round glasses, which made him look like a professional doctor.It was also to increase his probability to succeed in the selection.After all, it was an era where people were judged based on their appearances. If you dressed up plainly, others would not care about you.Thomas was usually not bothered with this, but it was currently related to his reunion with his father. He had to pay attention to every detail.The car stopped.Thomas and Aries then entered Sterling Technology’s guesthouse.Sterling Technology had purposely invested a large amount of funds to build this guesthouse to recruit and select excellent doctors for Nelson every month.This place had the most advanced medical equipment and most complete precious medicines in the world. The
Thomas, who usually kept a low profile, decided to stand out this time.It was not for anything else but just to show that he also had a renowned teacher and good abilities. In this way, the probability of him being selected would increase.He was pretty idealistic, but as soon as he said these things, Jacob’s expression immediately changed.Jacob straightened up and looked at Thomas coldly. He said in a hostile tone, “Southland District? Is it the Southland District where Brad and his son manage the entire pharmaceutical industry?”The words were obviously in the form of mockery.Thomas nodded.Jacob sarcastically said, “Brad and his son have done a lot of evil things and embarrassed the doctors! Mr. Mayo treated us so politely, and he admired Brad and his son’s medical skills.“But what happened in the end?“Brad and his son are just criminals! They have poor medical skills and medical ethics, and Mr. Mayo’s admiration of them was all a waste.“Even such trash could end up a
As they waited, more doctors entered the guest house.They took no notice of the first few people. Everyone remained relatively aloof. However, the one who came last attracted everyone’s attention in an instant.“Hey, isn’t this Mr. Socrates?”Jerome, the person in charge of the guest house, ran out personally and greeted him enthusiastically.The Socrates family’s members had been doctors for generations. They had made significant contributions to human medical research, which was extremely remarkable.This member of the Socrates family was the most outstanding member of the family today.It had been difficult inviting him.Jerome had once sent someone to invite him with a lot of precious gifts, but he did not even spare them a glance. He did not love money and fame. He only focused on studying medicine with his full attention and remained behind his closed doors at all times.This made Jerome embarrassed.Unexpectedly, Socrates had actually taken the initiative to participat
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
