Irvin raised his head and said in contempt, “First of all, this is a hotel, not your home. Secondly, I came to visit my mom, not to visit you, Adrian, so you have no right to drive me away. Do you understand?”He snapped his fingers, and a foreign man in a chef's uniform immediately walked over.Irvin said, “I’m different from you poor sobs. You guys could only invite some low-class chefs and make some dishes that even pigs won’t eat to disgust mom. But I hired a global executive chef, Mr. Jacques, for mom.“Mr. Jacques has a special talent in cooking, and he has been on the cover of a global food magazine. May I ask you, Adrian, which one of the lousy chefs in Southland district, all whom you have hired, has attained such an achievement?”Adrian was tongue-tied.Irvin was right. The skills of the chefs he hired were not bad, and they were all top-notch in the Southland district. However, compared with the world’s top chefs like Jacques, there was still a big gap.He was angry an
Oh great, she was embarrassed now.Amid the ridicule of everyone, Griffin was neither humble nor arrogant. He calmly said, “As a chef, having how multiple arms is not important. The important thing is whether the dishes are good or not. Although some people have healthy arms and legs, the dishes they make are bad and hard to swallow.”Irvin stopped smiling and asked, “What are you saying? Do you mean the dishes you make are better than Mr. Jacques’s dishes? Who do you think you are to talk nonsense? Mr. Jacques has been on…”Before he could finish speaking, Griffin calmly said, “The United States has a long history and vast land. There are countless dishes on this vast land. Even if it is the same kind of dish, it will be cooked differently and have different tastes in different states.“As time passes, all fifty states soon gain their own signature renditions of the same dish.“The cooking skills, methods, and kitchen utensils in the world add up to less than one percent of the U
Two large tables were vacated. One was placed with Jacques’s dishes, while the other one was placed with Griffin’s jar.They started with Jacques’s side first. After opening all the lids, the exquisite dishes were revealed.The dishes were all colorful.The aroma was overflowing and spread everywhere, making everyone drool.They were not only colorful and pretty. They also smelled amazing. The exquisite carving of the food was also breathtaking. No matter how one chose to judge this, this was a table of perfect dishes.On the other hand, Griffin’s jar was ugly and rudimental. They were of different worlds.It was just like a noble princess and a poor village girl. There was simply no compare.Irvin sarcastically said, “After saying so much, you made this rubbish in the end? Look at Mr. Jacques’s dishes. Each of them could be described as an artwork. How is it? Have you understood the gap between you two?”Griffin said neither humbly nor arrogantly, “You’re right. In terms of co
“Even the same customer will have very different tastes when they have different emotions such as anger, sorrow, and joy. Even if one has the same emotion, what he wants to eat will differ according to his health condition.“If a chef doesn’t know how to observe the customers and change the tastes of the dishes according to the customers’ emotions and taste and only knows how to cook the same dishes inflexibly, he is not a great chef.“Humans can cook, and machines can cook as well. The biggest difference between humans and machines is that the dishes made by humans are filled with emotions.”As Griffin spoke, he had already filled a bowl with the soup from the jar. The soup was mixed with minced meat, vegetables, and other ingredients, which made it look like a bowl of hamburger soup.Before the soup had reached the old lady, he already saw her expression immediately changing.She leaned forward and started sniffing. “Smells nice. It smells so nice. I want to eat it.”Everyone w
Irvin glanced at Thomas and said with a smile, “Who do you think you are to talk crap in front of me?”Thomas shook his head. Some people would never learn if no one taught them a lesson.He walked toward Irvin.Felicia was anxious and wanted to stop Thomas, but Susan held her back.Susan had seen Thomas’s capability. At that time, Thomas knocked around twenty people like bowling pins, Ballard included. He had done it alone, and it did not even take him thirty seconds.The five or six bodyguards in front of him were simply no match for him.They saw Thomas come over. One of the muscular men, who was nearly one hundred and ninety centimeters tall, approached him. He extended his hand to grab Thomas’s collar.Thomas raised his hand and grabbed the muscular man’s wrist tightly. There was the loud sound of bone breaking.“Ah!”The muscular man screamed and fell to the floor in pain.Several bodyguards rushed over when they saw this. They could not see Thomas’s movements, but he k
It seemed bad if Thomas agreed, but it seemed even worse if he did not agree.At first, Susan did not want to go back because she wanted to stay with Thomas a little longer. When she heard that Thomas had been asked to send her home, she was happy. She held Thomas’s arm with both hands and shook it shyly.“Thomas, I’m afraid of being alone. You send me back home, okay?”Thomas sighed helplessly. He took the car key from Adrian and sent Susan home.Griffin, who was at the side, was happy when he saw it. ‘Not only is the boss good at fighting, but he is also good at dealing with women. He is probably going to be troubled by women his whole life.’In a corner where no one noticed, Felix, who was physically and mentally hurt, poked his head out and watched Thomas and Susan get in the same car. He gritted his teeth angrily.“Thomas, you jerk! You already have a wife, but you would still make a move on your sister-in-law.“You insatiable man. You’re simply worse than pigs and dogs!“
Susan turned her head to take a look. She saw a silver-white van covertly following them.Before she could react, Thomas suddenly stepped on the brake and stopped the car on the roadside.“What happened?”As soon as Susan finished asking, she saw two white vans appear in front of them. Three cars, both at the front and back, blocked their car in the middle.Then, a group of people got out of the vans.It could be seen that everyone held something like daggers, machetes, and iron rods.As a woman, Susan became scared especially when it was dark. Even with Thomas beside her, she still started to tremble inevitably.No matter how powerful Thomas was, he was still unarmed. Could he fight against so many armed gangsters?Susan asked in fear, “Who are they? Are they Irvin’s underlings?”“They don’t look like it.”Thomas calmly said, “Lower your head and lock the door. Stay in the car, and don’t go anywhere. I’ll get out and take a look.”“Huh?” Susan held him. “Don’t. There are so
“What a jerk,” Susan cursed him.Sick Tiger smiled. “Erm, Boss Tom, we really didn’t know that the person Felix wanted to beat would be you, let alone wanting to make a move on your woman. If we knew, we wouldn’t had have the courage to do it.”He thought of Susan as Thomas’s woman.Thomas coughed awkwardly. “Uh, you misunderstood. She is not my…”Sick Tiger quickly nodded. “I understand. I understand. Boss, we didn’t see anything. We’ll never reveal it to your wife.”The more he explained, the more confusing it was. He thought that Thomas did not dare to admit it because he was afraid of being caught cheating on his wife.Thomas scolded in his mind, ‘What do you understand?’On the contrary, Susan was happy. She really liked the feeling of being misunderstood as Thomas’s woman. Even if it was for a short while, it was a kind of reward from heaven for her.Sick Tiger bowed. “Well, since the misunderstanding has been cleared, we’ll take our leave first. Boss, I wish you a wonder
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
