Franklin did not register it at the beginning, so he just casually hummed. However, he soon felt that there was something wrong with what Shawn said.What did he mean by him having no value now?He felt puzzled as he looked at Shawn. “What did you say?”Shawn shrugged. “Since you’ve already told me about the last method to deal with Thomas, you no longer have any value. Mr. Clark, it seems that I don’t need to keep you anymore, right?”Franklin was totally shocked.How could he have known Shawn had the intention to rebel, especially at this critical time?“Don’t mess around!”Franklin took a few steps back. He had always been the one who framed others, and no one had ever framed him before.But, Shawn kept moving closer to him.Shawn walked while he said, “There will only be two outcomes when I fight Thomas later, which are that I either win or lose.“If I lose, I’ll be trash, and I won’t be valuable in your eyes. You’ll get rid of me like you did your other students. Who wou
The referee vacated the stage after he announced the rules of the competition, leaving it to the final participants.They stood at the four corners of the stage and stared at each other.When the sound of the drum was heard, the trial officially started.Thomas and Shawn stared at each other. All they saw was each other, and they did not care about the other two people.The other two participants also felt quite anxious.In terms of ability, they were no match for Thomas and Shawn.But they did not want to give up. What should they do?One of them giggled wickedly. He took out a large bunch of cash from his pocket and said, “Hey, the three of you, listen to me. If you’re willing to jump off the stage, I’ll reward each of you $10,000,000 in cash!”Ten million dollars?Would the other three people on the stage care about that?Shawn turned sideways and looked at him. “I’m giving you three seconds to get off the stage yourself,” he said indifferently.The person was so frighten
“Mr. Clark, he…” Thomas instantly had a stunned expression. He had never shown such an expression before.Although he had a very serious conflict with Franklin, they used to be mentor and student, after all. They used to have a good past, and Franklin had personally trained Thomas up.Thomas hated Franklin, but he still could not easily forget Franklin’s kindness.Thomas closed his eyes and raised his head slightly to vent his hatred.After Franklin had betrayed everyone, he still did never kept his guard up. No matter what, he did not know that he would die in such a way.Therefore, people always said that you should enjoy the moment.You should not always look forward to tomorrow because you might not have tomorrow.Thomas opened his eyes and looked at Shawn. “Why did you do that?”Shawn chuckled. He opened his arms and said, “Why? Do you still need to ask? Do I need to be controlled by Franklin Clark like you for my whole life? Thomas, you have to thank me. I got rid of a
“Thomas, your ability… is indeed the top in the world.“But even if you rank first, it doesn’t mean you can defeat me.”While everyone was watching, Shawn took out a pillbox from his pocket. Then, he raised his head and instantly ate all five pills in it.Franklin had warned him that he could only eat three pills at most.But, how was it possible for Shawn to listen to him?If Shawn could only eat three pills, why would Franklin give him five pills instead of just three pills?There was only one reason. Franklin had assumed that Shawn could not defeat Thomas with three pills. So, he had prepared five pills since the beginning. Even if Shawn’s bodily functions were drained, Franklin still wanted to kill Thomas.Shawn slowly got up.The pills activated all his physical functions. Now, he would not feel any pain, and he only had a thought: Fight!Shawn turned back and looked at Thomas before he grinned and said, “Thomas, Mr. Clark purposely prepared this pill for you. He was afra
Shawn demonstrated the ferocity of a wolf flawlessly.Anyone who encountered him would be ripped into pieces. Even the God of War could not take any advantage of this wild wolf.He was a crazy man who would fight you until his last breath, even if it meant his death!The audience below the stage gulped.He was terrifying.Luckily, they did not fight until the end, or else, Shawn would rip them into pieces.Among the crowd, Aries’ complexion turned pale.He knew that Thomas did not have much strength left.After Thomas was poisoned the day before yesterday, he had used up a lot of his energy for detoxification. His body was exhausted, and he had not recovered yet.Even though he had rested the whole day yesterday and consumed a lot of supplements, he had merely recovered a little from the severe injury, so he just had 70% of his usual strength.His physical fitness was also a huge problem.Thomas had initially prepared to end the fight at once. Who would have known that Shawn
Aries could not bear to listen to Shawn anymore.He pointed at Shawn and scolded him. “You’ve used a forbidden drug to improve your bodily function. What kind of ability do you have? If you’re capable, you should just have a fair fight with our commander!”When Shawn heard that, he smirked and said, “I just don’t play fair. What can you do to me?”Aries became worked up. “Since you’ve violated the rules, we don’t have to follow the rules either!”As he spoke, he wanted to get on stage and help Thomas.“Aries!” Thomas yelled to stop Aries’ movement.He said, “Aries, this is my battle, and this is also a test for me. If I can easily take back something that I lose, I won’t cherish it.“Since I want to take it back, I must put in at least a hundred times the effort.“You should be happy for me when God gives me training like this.”As Thomas spoke, he struggled to stand up.When Aries saw it, he felt sorry. He knew that Thomas did not have any strength at all at the moment. When
Everyone was stunned. They did not understand how this could happen.Shawn had yelled energetically about killing Thomas. Yet, why did he fall down and have no ability to get up now? They did not see Thomas attack Shawn at all.Did Shawn step on a nail and start leaking gas?The audience looked at each other at a loss. They looked completely confused and could not understand the situation.Although Aries did not understand it as well, he felt very happy. He initially thought that Thomas was ready to die, but a sudden glimpse of hope suddenly appeared right when they felt hopeless. Thomas had successfully reversed the situation.“Commander, I knew you’d win!”He said that only after Thomas won, and it sounded a little flattering.In the ring, Shawn leaned on the ground and used his last breath to ask, “Why?”Thomas let out a long sigh before he smiled and explained, “I told you. Your strength didn’t belong to you. Your body function was triggered by the drug, and the energy from
This battle was the most difficult battle in his life currently. It was the first time that somebody forced Thomas to a dead end, and he did not even have the strength to stand.Now… The situation was actually quite awkward.Thomas supported himself until the last moment. He was supposed to become the God of War, accept the title, and take back his position.The problem was, the referee died. Who would call the shots?Everyone looked at each other at a loss, and they did not know what they should do at the moment.At this time, an old man with a white beard walked out from the back of the crowd. He put his hands behind him, and he looked like a decent gentleman.“It’s Mr. Sparks!”Somebody recognized him. No, there should be no one who did not know him.Mr. Sparks was just an ordinary person now, but nobody dared to be rude to him. Countless people in the venue used to be trained by him.Mr. Sparks walked up to the ring.He stared at Thomas, and his eyes were full of great
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
