Thomas felt very touched. Not many people would be willing to sacrifice their lives in this era.He nodded and said, “The mission I’m giving you is to follow a butterfly.”What?Flying Rooster thought that something was wrong with his ears, so he immediately asked, “Did you just ask me to follow a butterfly? Who’s the butterfly?”Thomas smiled faintly. He waved his hand, and Aries took out a glass box from a room. There was a pupa leaning quietly on a branch in the box.The pupa was already very fat at the moment. It felt like the butterfly was coming out of the cocoon soon.“Stay here and watch this pupa. Once the butterfly comes out of the cocoon, you need to follow it.“Remember to watch it closely.“The last place where the butterfly stops will be the place you’re looking for.“It might not be safe to go into the place alone, so you have to bring more people inside. Injuries are highly likely to happen at that time.“Do you understand me?”Flying Rooster chuckled. “How c
After he settled those things, he could not wait to walk toward the entrance of the farm first.“Hold on.”“What are you doing?”Before Flying Rooster got closer, a few farmers on the farm gathered around. All of them held a hoe and a shovel, and they looked very aggressive.Flying Rooster stopped walking and pointed at the farm. He chuckled and said, “I was passing by, and I saw how delicious the grapes and strawberries looked. Can I go inside and pick some?”The farmers resolutely rejected him. “Go away. We don’t have time to entertain you.”“Hey, please don’t mind me. I’m really thirsty.” Flying Rooster took out two new red packets. “Here's $200. Is it enough? Let me pick some. I’ll just take a little.”The farmers impatiently said, “Don’t you understand what we’re saying? Get out of here now. We’re not doing any business with you.”Flying Rooster felt worked up. “How could you do this? You’re running a farm, but you’re not doing business. Are you idiots?”“How dare you tal
Flying Rooster wandered around the area near the farm for at least ten minutes, and he finally heard some roaring car sounds.“They’re finally here!”He went to the middle of the road excitedly, and some white vans stopped.The van doors opened, and about eight people got out of each car. There were more than thirty people in total, and all of them were members of Nocturnal.“Brothers, Mr. Mayo has always taken care of us.“It’s our time to repay his kindness today!“Invade the farm with me.”Flying Rooster raised his arm in a call for action, and all of the members of Nocturnal agitatedly followed him.These people were the people who used to fight ruthlessly in the past, and they imposed a kind of evil aura. These days, they had been doing all kinds of good deeds because of Thomas, and they suppressed their evil auras.The more they wanted to suppress, the more they wanted to vent it out.Today was the chance for them to let it all out. Even if it was not for repaying Thoma
He swung his machete and walked over before he contemptuously said, “What do you want to do?”At this time, a man who was two-meters tall walked out from the team of one hundred people. There was a deep knife mark on his face, and his gaze was as fierce and ruthless as a wolf.He was the leader of these people from the Underground City, Thanos.He stared at Flying Rooster coldly and spoke indifferently. “We’re the guardians of the farm. No matter who you are, nobody is allowed to enter the farm. While you can still gasp, get out of here.”Flying Rooster chuckled. “Darn it. How dare you speak to me in this tone! Brothers, kill him!”Those people of Nocturnal rushed forward like they did not care about their lives.Although there were fewer people, all of them were stubborn individuals who did not care about their lives. When they fought, each of them could fight five people alone. They were extremely fierce.So, Flying Rooster did not feel he would lose.But the reality was… J
The moment Flying Rooster was about to lose his life, a muscular hand instantly grabbed Thanos’ arm at that critical moment, and he forcefully stopped the fatal attack.“Hmm?”Thanos raised his head and cast a glance. A muscular man, about 1.8 meters tall, had stopped his attack.Thanos chuckled.He was nearly two meters tall, and his body was extremely strong.A competition of strength?Thanos never feared anyone.“Kid, do you think you can defend my attack?“What a wild idea!”He suddenly increased his strength and pierced the dagger to Flying Rooster. He wanted to kill Flying Rooster.However!But, the dagger did not move at all.No matter how much strength Thanos used, he was unable to move the dagger at all.He fearfully stared at the man in front. This was the first time he lost from the aspect of strength.Who the heck was this man?Thanos slammed the man. During the time the man dodged, he moved out of the grip and took a few steps backward. He asked, “You’re pre
He stabbed another person’s neck with the sharp fingernails on his five fingers, and that person instantly died from the strong force.“Fresh blood! Delicious fresh blood!”Gemini was totally out of control, and he killed the people manically.Other members of the Twelve Golden Zodiacs did not just stand aside and watch the show either.Sagittarius stood far away while he shot arrows again and again. He was able to shoot precisely, and he could kill one enemy with each arrow. “The jerk who’s shooting the arrows in the dark, I’m going to kill you!”An enemy rushed over from the back. As Sagittarius got ready to attack him back, a figure appeared behind him and punched the enemy’s heart like lightning. The enemy died from one punch.The figure stood there, and he was Leo from the Twelve Golden Zodiacs.Leo looked back and broke a smile. “I saved your life, Brother.”Sagittarius scoffed and shot an arrow. He was in time to kill another enemy who was preparing to attack Leo.“
Thanos stared at the man with contempt and scoffed. “You’re so bold to stand in front of me alone, but your courage will only get you one thing in return, and that is death!”In the blink of an eye, Thanos went up to Capricorn.He moved and threw his punch.He was strangely ruthless and extremely speedy. If ordinary individuals had been attacked with this punch, they would have died without a doubt.Thanos was still very confident about his capability.After all, he had never lost since he was born. He had been in the Underground City for so many years, and nobody was able to challenge his status.His presence was the high ground of force.This was what he thought.However, there was a variation in his knowledge today.Just when he thought that his powerful punch could easily defeat his opponent, an accident happened. Capricorn avoided his punch leisurely as if he had insight into his movement in advance.“You’re too slow.”Thanos got angry. “Are you so proud to just avoid m
Thomas instantly did not know what to do. It was his first time experiencing such a feeling after so many years.He did contemplate the imposter’s true identity.However, he did not expect the imposter to be his father’s twin brother!He had never heard about this since he was little.Thomas felt troubled.Actually, it was not unreasonable if Thomas killed the imposter based on what he had done. But, considering his special status, Thomas found it hard to kill him.Thomas felt puzzled and asked, “Since you care about my father so much and we’re also a family, why did you still do such ridiculous things to my father?”Alden chuckled bitterly before he reached to take out something that looked like chewing gum and put it into his mouth.He chewed while he spoke “Actually from the beginning, I didn’t plan to ground Nelson. Do you think I’m happy when I do this? No, I feel guilty every night.”Guilty?Why did this sound so hilarious?Alden continued to say, “Since the day Sterli
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
