Jacob took a deep breath and walked closer to the bed.The audience’s attention was focused on him, and they were curious to see how Jacob would handle a patient with such a serious illness. They already knew that even the most well-known doctors in Central City could not cure this patient.No one believed Jacob could cure this illness. Jacob simply walked around the patient, making funny expressions in one second and standing still and watching the next. He had not even started before fifteen minutes had passed.Socrates was getting annoyed.“Oi, do you actually know how to treat him? If you don’t, just say it. Stop playing pretend here!”“What are you so anxious for? It’s a doctor’s job to observe and ask questions. Am I not allowed to even observe the patient before treating them?” Jacob said coldly. “How long do you need to observe him?!”“Lucky for you, I’ve just done assessing him, and I can start the treatment now.”Socrates laughed and said, “Is that so? Then I’d lik
Generally speaking, Thomas could not possibly be as stupid. He could not possibly have been unaware that the method was useless. But why did he want Jacob to do it in the first place?Did he want to destroy Jacob on purpose?That was unlikely. If he destroyed Jacob, it did no benefit for Thomas. He would have to shoulder the public’s wrath, and even Sterling Technology would be spit on.What on earth did Thomas have up his sleeve?Socrates tried to decipher Thomas’s expression but there was no use, as there was not a single trace of emotion on Thomas’s face. Not only did he not appear happy, but he also did not appear sad or even anxious.It was as if the events taking place around him had nothing to do with him and he was just a bystander.‘Of course, he’s nothing more than a pretty face. He’s completely useless. Miss Laura had to rack her brains so hard just to deal with a piece of rubbish like him. She was just being a little too cautious. But isn’t it like letting me dea
The people unwittingly looked over. They were puzzled. Could it be that this patient really had unclean stuff in his body? Jacob did not understand what was going on either. He just did whatever Thomas told him to do. Since Thomas told him that he could save someone by doing this, then he would definitely be able to save the person! He was definitely right!Jacob continued shaking the bells and beating drums. During that time, the stuff under the patient’s skin kept on rushing to his feet. In the end, those things flowed out of the cuts on the patient’s feet. A black pool of blood gathered under him. In that blood were soft creatures that looked very similar to leeches. They looked really disgusting. “Are these the things that caused the patient to be unable to wake up?”Jacob understood what happened. In truth, the patient was not really possessed by an evil spirit but was infested by these unidentified creatures. It was just like how people would have parasites enter th
It did not mean that Thomas only needed five minutes to upgrade Jacob’s medical skills. Instead, Thomas used five minutes to tell Jacob what the cause was, and once he learned of the cause, Jacob could easily treat the patient despite his current medical skills. Amazing! Truly amazing!Thomas’s judgment was truly great. A doctor who had mocked Thomas just now walked over and bowed to him before saying apologetically, “Doctor Mayo, I’m truly sorry. I didn’t understand the truth of the situation and criticized you. This is a mistake on my part. I would like to express my sincerest apologies to you!”Thomas smiled and waved his hand. “You don’t have to be so hard on yourself. Honestly, it’s only natural that you’d criticize me just now. I taught Jacob for five minutes, told him that there is an evil spirit in the patient, and asked him to ring bells and beat drums. I did overstep on a doctor’s boundaries. When you criticized me and felt pity for the patient, it shows that you’re r
In a split second, everyone’s attitude toward Thomas made a 180-degree turn. It was totally beyond Socrates’s imagination.He thought he could humiliate Thomas thoroughly through the match and make him be unable to raise his head in Central City, but what happened in the end?The result was that Socrates failed miserably.“How did this happen?”Socrates gazed at the public in disappointment. He could not understand why things had gotten to this point. Thomas said flatly, "Did you know why things turned out like this? It’s actually pretty simple. You’ve used Summer Land’s black magic to deal with us. This ridiculous trick was like teaching a fish how to swim to us. If you had used the Western approach that you've studied deeply, maybe Jacob would have had no way to compete with you. "He said that he “learned foreign advanced technology to win against them”? Well, at the end of the day, it was like having a duel with a professional duelist. In conclusion, it was really embarrassi
After the whooshing sound, one after another silver needle tore through the air and flew out. These needles continually pierced the security guards' thighs and arms and caused them to become disabled. They were all lying on the ground, screaming in pain.Ten brawny security guards were finished off in less than 10 seconds. "This ......"The crowd looked in the direction of where the silver needles were flying out. They saw Thomas was holding a box in his hand. It was filled with sharp silver needles, which Thomas had just used to neutralize the security guards.Thomas had once again impressed the doctors.He was a capable fighter as well as a skilled physician with a high moral and noble character. Most importantly, he had already earned the title of chairman of a big corporation as a young man.He was a first-class super genius in every respect. People like him were simply a glitch in reality. His existence was unfair to ordinary people. “It was both our luck and misfortune
After Thomas had waited in the car for 20 minutes, Jacob and others came out, carrying the large plaque board.Jacob grinned and said, “Mr. Mayo, I apologize for keeping you waiting.” In the end, Socrates would never think about returning to Central City in this life because of his vim and vigor after being tossed by Jacob.“Get in the car, I will send you back.”“Thank you, Mr. Mayo!”The crimson Ferrari sped down the road, mirroring Jacob's relaxed and carefree mood.Jacob’s father recovered from his illness, the family plaque board was returned, and also, Summer Land’s medical reputation was restored. All of these events combined to give him a one-day experience of both heaven and hell.Two hours ago, Jacob was so overwhelmed with sorrow that he hardly wished to live. Two hours later, he simply wanted to give himself a pair of wings and fly into the sky!And Thomas was the one who brought it all to him.Inside Big Dipper Pharmaceuticals...Socrates was beaten up so badly
Just then, the door opened. Master Centipede, the CEO, entered, wobbling on his cane. "Godfather!" Laura put down her glass of wine and hurried forward to assist Master Centipede enter the room and take a seat. "Godfather, you have not recovered yet. Why are you discharged from the hospital? " “If I don’t leave the hospital, Thomas is going to bully you to death.”Laura bowed her head and said, "Godfather, you know all that happened today?"Master Centipede smiled as he asked, "How could you hide such a huge matter from me? Since the moment you approached Socrates, I’ve suspected him to be untrustworthy. All foreigners are overconfident and unrealistic. They are unable to reassure others. To deal with Thomas, we still have to rely on ourselves. “Laura asked, “Godfather, you got an idea?”Master Centipede chuckled, "It's not really a good idea anyway. I just thought of something to make Thomas's life a little more difficult."“What do you mean by making his life difficult?
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
