Arthur Martin grabbed Thomas Mayo’s collar and said in rage, “I told you to get lost. Do you hear me?!”He waved at the police nearby. “Quickly get this rascal out of my face, having him within my sights angers me!”Right when the police were about to take Thomas away, a buzzing sound of a rotating propeller came from the distant sky.The buzzing sound came in waves.Hmm?Everyone looked up at the sky with questions in their mind.All that can be seen was a large number of helicopters, as they came forth one after another. The fleet formed a cloud, there was no saying how many of them were there.But everyone present knew that there was a huge number of them.The scene was so grand that it etched its mark on the crowd, deeply shocking them.“Is that... a plane?”“How could there be so many of them? So scary.”“What are they here for?”While they were still questioning why they were here, the helicopters flew over Restaurant Cosmic Dawn and hovered right above it.The cabin
Thomas Mayo left silently as if he had nothing to do with the rescue operation that was carried out just now.Aries quickly followed behind him.While they were on their way back to the company, Aries asked out of curiosity, “I did not expect you enlist hundreds of helicopters using the Power of Almighty for a rescue mission, commander.”Thomas said calmly, “I have to take action since human lives are at stake.”“But...” Aries said, “You did save the Martin Family, commander. Arthur Martin is the head of the family that had grudges with us in the past.”Thomas replied, “There are no eternal enemies in this world, only eternal benefits. The Martin family only went against us because we were used by the Gomez family. We are no longer under their control.“Furthermore, we are officially in a war with the Gomez family. If the Martin family decides to mess with us again, they are better off dead. Therefore, it is necessary to ease up our relationship with the Martin family.”Aries no
Today was the tenth birthday of the granddaughter of Arthur, the head of the Martin family. The party had invited many officials and businessmen.Those who could attend today's birthday party were all rich.However, a very eye-catching Cadillac parked among these supercars. The door opened, and two men walked down. It was Thomas and Aries.Not only did they drive a very ordinary car today, but they had also dressed very plainly.The two straightened their clothes and walked toward the entrance.As they walked to the entrance, two security guards came over and stopped them. They looked at them up and down. From the way they dressed, it could be seen that they were not very rich, so they could not help but be suspicious of them.One of the security guards asked politely, “Do you guys have an invitation letter?”Aries shook his head.“You guys still dare to come without an invitation letter? Go away. This is not where you should be.”Aries was anxious, “We have already booked a p
The atmosphere was tense when the enemies met.Dylan clenched his fists. He wanted to move forward and slap Thomas to vent his anger.A security guard came forward and asked, “Mr. Martin, should I ask some people to teach these two jerks a lesson?”‘Teach them a lesson?’Haha! Dylan was still quite sure of Thomas’ ability.He waved his hand to get the security guard to move aside before he spoke with a cold expression. “Thomas, you already went against me in the Southland District. Why do you still insist on causing me trouble when you’ve come to Central City? Aren’t you too disrespectful to the Martin family in Central City?”“I never wanted to cause you trouble. You’re the one who came to cause trouble. I booked the private room here a few days ago, but the Martin family directly took the private room without even discussing it with me. You didn’t even let us go in. What kind of nonsense is that?” Thomas said indifferently.Dylan frowned.The Martin family was rich and arroga
Savior?Dylan was dumbfounded. Why did Thomas suddenly become their savior?He even tried to anxiously explain, “Dad, what are you saying? Why am I confused? Thomas is creating problems for the Martin family. Yet, we’re not chasing him away but even forced to welcome him? Isn’t that too shameful?”At that moment, Aries explained, “Mr. Martin, we didn’t want to create a fuss here. We just booked a private room in advance, but the Martin family occupied it without informing us. Isn’t that inappropriate?”Dylan chuckled. “Who the heck are you? Do we need to inform trash like you when we do things? You think too highly of yourself!”He initially wanted to earn some respect for the Martin family.Unbeknownst to him… Arthus raised his hand and slapped Dylan. “How could you speak to our savior like this?”Dylan was stunned by the slap.Ever since he was confirmed to be the Martin family’s heir, Arthur had never slapped him. Arthur had never even criticized or scolded him in public.
If a person was fond of someone, he would like that someone no matter what. He could even consider the person’s weakness as his strength.On the contrary, if one wanted to hate a person, no matter how he looked at the person, he would still hate him. Strengths would also be seen as weaknesses.Clearly, Arthur was the former.He really liked Thomas so much that he almost went insane. No matter how he looked at Thomas, he still had a fondness for him.It was not strange.If you were in a frustrating situation, where you could not reverse the outcome, and someone suddenly showed up and then rescued you from the disaster, you would definitely love the person. It was especially so when the person left silently without leaving his name after doing the good deed.You would feel more touched.Arthur had been “moved” by Thomas a long time ago.Dylan was quite speechless, and he glared at Thomas. It was useless to talk about anything now. Since his father was so defensive about Thomas, h
Dylan was totally stunned. No matter what, he did not expect his favorite sister to embarrass him in public.From Dylan’s perspective, Daisy was the most unlikely person to give up her seat in the room.As Daisy hated men, she would usually not go near them. The seats on either side of her were occupied by women too.Daisy would feel uncomfortable sitting with the male members of the family, yet she had taken the initiative to give up her seat for Thomas?Haha! If Dylan had not heard it personally, he would have never believed it.Her actions shocked Arthur as well.His lovely daughter was overbearing and unreasonable, but she was actually generous enough to take the initiative today. He also found it unbelievable. Thomas and Daisy stared at each other.Daisy’s face instantly turned red. She lowered her head and felt shy.None of the people sitting in the room were innocent. When they saw Daisy’s move, they immediately guessed her thoughts.Everyone had complicated expressio
Everyone sat down. The longer Dylan saw how bashful his sister looked, the angrier he felt. It felt like he had worked hard on planting vegetables for a year, only to have them eaten by a pig.He slammed the table and yelled, “Why is this birthday party so quiet?!”One of his subordinates immediately stood up and said, “Mr. Martin, we’ve arranged a good show, a dog fight. We hope it will entertain you.”A dog fight?It seemed interesting.Dylan nodded. “Don’t just stand there. Quickly, get it started.”Somebody immediately brought two dogs into the room.A stage was then set up at the center of the entrance. Everyone would be able to see what happened on the stage, especially from Thomas’ table. They would have the best view.The staff put the two fierce dogs on stage before he closed the door.Dog No. 1 was big, strong, and muscular. It looked like it fought all the time and it had defeated countless dogs.Meanwhile, Dog No. 2 looked more common without any special features.
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
