Thomas sounded as if he did not take Coral’s boyfriend seriously at all. After all, normal people were not worthed him to feel surprised in God of War’s eyes.But, Diana did not think in the same way.In Diana’s opinion, Thomas was a playboy who was not aware of his own ability other than being rich.Thomas would have died of hunger if he did not have a good father.That was Thomas’ image in Diana’s heart.So, Diana did not want to think about anything. She just went forward and grabbed Thomas’ arm. She dragged him while she said, “Stop acting so bossy. Her boyfriend, Archer Stuart is good at fighting, and his profession is that of a boxer. Not only you but many experts were defeated by Archer. Quickly, leave now, or you will suffer a great loss.”During the process where they were involved, some hurried car roaring was heard.What came after that was some hurried footsteps. “Coral, are you okay?”The person who came was Coral’s boyfriend, Archer.Diana covered her face. Oh
It was Thomas.Archer felt a little surprised. The strength of his fist was not low, but Thomas was able to accept it silently. This meant that Thomas’ strength was great.“Wow, you’re quite good.“But, how many punches do you think you can receive from me?”Archer’s punches were swung toward Diana like raindrops. He was so speedy that normal people could not catch up.However, Thomas was faster.Archer’s every punch was stopped by Thomas.Archer even had a hallucination of Thomas’ hand already waiting before he swung his punch out.This also meant that Thomas turned all Archer’s attacks into nothing based on his prediction.“Um…” Archer moved one step backward, and he stared at Thomas in disbelief.This man was too good at fighting, huh?Coral felt worked up. “Darling, what are you doing now? Why don’t you beat them up until they lay down on the floor? Your woman was bullied by them. Why would you still be in the mood to get involved with them?”She interrupted them in t
Nocturnal was one of the underground gangs in Central City. They were ruthless and overbearing. When normal citizens talked about them, they would look frightened. It was a presence whom nobody dared to approach.Diana did not expect that Archer was one of the Nocturnal members.“Thomas, get out of here now!”Diana was serious this time. Her complexion turned pale, and she quickly pushed Thomas out.However, Thomas “innocently” said, “I still want to ask you about a lot of things. How can I leave when I haven’t finished asking my questions?”Diana felt so worked up. “Can’t you ask later? The Nocturnal members are coming now. You have to leave now! Wait, I think it’s not safe for you to stay in Central City anymore. Please buy a ticket and leave Central City. You should go to another city to lay low.”Thomas felt puzzled as he asked, “Why?”“Why are you still asking why? That’s Nocturnal! They are the wicked and overbearing underground gangsters! If they go after anyone, none of
It should be said that Diana’s figure was quite gorgeous. If those Nocturnal jerks saw her, would they not have some dirty thoughts?If they wanted to defile her later, what should she do?When Diana thought of this, she cried. She reached out to grab a knife, and she made up her mind. If Nocturnal members wanted to defile her, she would commit suicide before that so that she would not suffer.However… Thomas gently held her hand and indifferently said, “I’m here, and everything is going to be fine. Trust me.”‘Trust me.’The two simple words brought endless warmth.Could she really trust Thomas?Those people were Nocturnal. How could she believe that Thomas could deal with them? He was great at fighting, but no matter how great he was, could he fight thirty people alone?This was not realistic.While she had messy thoughts, the Nocturnal members already walked into the house.The boss of Nocturnal, Flying Rooster, cast a glance at Archer whose body was fully injured before
What did he mean by cleaning up his gang’s mess?Not only did Archer look dumbfounded, but even Diana, Coral, and all of Flying Rooster’s subordinates felt confused.Was Flying Rooster crazy or what?There must be something wrong.Archer covered his face and asked, “Boss, what are you talking about?”Flying Rooster righteously said, “Do you know that this person who’s sitting here is a hero in the world? He is the hero whom I admire and respect the most in my life.“How could he insult you? It’s clear that you fail to bully him, and you’re taught a lesson by him.“But, you even shamelessly asked me to come and avenge you? Wow, trash like you should be eliminated from our Nocturnal team!“Our Nocturnal works for ordinary citizens. We help and love each other, and we are a kind and simple team. How can we allow a black sheep like you to join us?“So, I’m cleaning the mess off my gang!”Archer and other subordinates were stunned.Flying Rooster was not going crazy, right?What
“Um…” Flying Rooster was a little troubled.He either continued his original work or dismissed the team. If he just kept the team without going out to work, how could this group of people live?Thomas immediately noticed his puzzlement and calmly said, “I’ll give you an address. From this month onward, you can go there and get your salary on the 10th of every month. It will pay according to the headcount, and everyone will receive $20,000 every month. You’re the manager, so I’ll pay you double, which is $40,000.”Whoa?Did this good thing exist?In this era, how could he find such a job with high pay based on their qualification and experience? Even if he brought his buddies to bully people everywhere, they would not be able to earn that much in a month.They even had to watch out for the police.“Mr. Mayo, you’re treating us too nicely, right?Thomas raised his hand. “Stop, I didn’t treat you nice for nothing. You receive my salary, so you’ll have to work for me. From now on,
After Diana heard the name “Underground City”, Thomas could clearly feel Diana’s body tremble.She felt a little surprised as she stared at Thomas.“Where did you hear about it?”The Underground City was the confidentiality of Sterling Technology. Other than being managed by a few people, most of the people in the company had not heard about it, let alone approached it.Usually, everyone would also not discuss this in the company.Therefore, it was impossible for Thomas to know about the Underground City under normal circumstances.Thomas looked firm in the eyes. “I also knew about this by chance, but it seems that not many people in the company know about the presence of the Underground City.”“Of course.” Diana extended an arm. “Other than the chairman, only five people know about this.”“Oh?”“Me, Arnav, Elijah the senior technician, Craig the supervisor, and Jed the general manager.”Thomas nodded, and he asked, “So, I’m very curious about what the core secret is that mak
This was very interesting.If the Underground City was so capable, why did they not do it alone? Why were they relying on Sterling Technology? It was not reasonable.Diana could tell that Thomas was puzzled, so she said, “I actually don’t understand what it’s all about, but the world is so big that there’s bound to be a lot of strange things. The Underground City is just a company that focuses on R&D, and they don’t care about other things. Even if you go and find out from the market, you won’t hear any information related to the Underground City.”Thomas asked, “What does the company want you to do?”Diana said, “Whenever the Underground City sends a new R&D project over, Arnav, Elijah, and I will be assigned to be in charge of a part to assist them in the R&D.“Three of us will be assigned to work in the independent secret room. We can’t bring anything in, and we also can’t bring anything out. Also, the three of us are responsible for different things, and we’re also forbidden f
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
