Albert was quite surprised. He had never seen such an overbearing person.Thomas had broken his promise, and he was heavy-handed. Was there really nobody who could control him?Albert stared at Thomas coldly and said, “Do you really think you’re so great and nobody can control you? Let me tell you, this is Kiara Cloud Mountain. Rich people can do whatever they want here.“Do you really want to die from standing up against businessmen?“Do you believe that I have the guts to kill you in front of the police station?”Albert and his gang were used to committing crimes in this area, so they never cared about this. He said that because he wanted to scare Thomas.However, Thomas did not care about them at all.“I don’t believe you.”Albert was stunned. “Okay, Thomas, just wait!”As he spoke, he took out his phone and made a call.“Thomas Mayo, it’s too late even if you want to kneel down and beg me. I already called my people to come. Just wait, you’ll suffer later.”Thomas also d
In the end, only Albert and a few businessmen were left.Thomas turned the direction of the gun before he pointed at Albert’s head with a gun. Before he said anything, Albert was so frightened that he kneeled down, and other businessmen also kneeled down.Weak people were afraid of strong people, but strong people were afraid of fearless people.No matter how great Albert and his gang were, they were just local tycoons. Compared with “real authority,” they lost too much in terms of imposing manners.At this time, the police ran out.Albert shouted at the police like he saw his savior, “Police officers, please save me! Help!” Many police officers rushed over and cuffed Albert and his gang.Albert was stunned.He anxiously shouted, “Are you freaking insane? Thomas the jerk fires the shot, but you’re arresting me? What do you mean?”A police officer said, “You’re under suspicion of threatening a government officer, and you’ve gathered a large number of workers to beat the govern
“There it is.” Valary pointed at the door and said, “According to my father, there’s the treasure of our family behind this door. But only the family head can know the password. My father is dead now, so nobody knows the password.“If this door can be opened, perhaps we can find the thousand-year mushroom.”Aries walked over. After he examined the door, he helplessly said, “We either open the door with the password or forcefully open it with an external force.”Valary shook her head. “We can’t use external force. There’s a self-destructing program in the room. If we forcefully open it using external force, the things inside the room will be destroyed.”So, they could only use the password.The three of them walked to the door.There was a touchscreen on the door, and a rectangle on the screen. Other than that, there was nothing.Valary said, “The rectangle is the place to key in the password. When I was very young, I saw that my father wrote and drew something on the rectangle o
“Look for the thousand-year mushroom.”They searched the room for one round, but they did not see the thousand-year mushroom. Of course, if the thousand-year mushroom was kept in this place, would it not die after a while?Therefore, they started searching for different articles and records.In the end, their hard work paid off. Aries found the exact location of the thousand-year mushroom in a notebook.“Here! I found it!”The three of them read it together.The notebook recorded the exact location of the thousand-year mushroom, and the methods of plucking, keeping, and using the thousand-year mushroom. It was so detailed, as though the author was scared that someone would accidentally destroy the thousand-year mushroom.After they read it, Thomas was very happy.“Let’s go and get the thousand-year mushroom.”Therefore, Valary stayed at home while Thomas and Aries went to Dragon Mountain Range to pluck the thousand-year mushroom. After they worked for half a day, they finally
The sky was cloudy, and it looked like it was going to rain anytime. It was like Vera’s mood.She had been staying in Red Society Pharmacy lately. The Nolan family took care of her daily meals, and they were in charge of treating the existing scar on her face.After these days, her scar did not recover obviously, and it did not look like it was getting paler.Vera was quite sad.She knew that her scar was left on her face for too long, and it was impossible to cure it.Vera came to the window and looked out the window. She looked at the cloudy sky, and she felt extremely gloomy.Pop!A stone was thrown on the window.About five people stood in the street while they growled at Vera. “Ugly woman, if you dare, just hide inside and don’t ever come out! Look at your ugly face. How shameless are you to participate in the audition? You wasted my feelings! Darn it!”Those people continued to throw stones at the window.Vera turned back and walked away.This was not the first time. S
Thomas cooperated with Birch to use this rare and precious elixir together.After an hour of applying for medication, Thomas took out all the silver needles, and Jacob covered Vera’s scar with a gauze.Thomas ordered Jacob, “From now onward, change the dressing every three hours. Without any accident, her scar will fully recover in two days.”Really? Vera stared at herself in the mirror, and she felt anxious when she saw the gauze.Would she fully recover?She hoped so.Subsequently, everyone accompanied Vera as they worried anything would happen. Flying Rooster even brought a large group of people to protect Red Society Pharmacy. They forbade every outsider to move closer so that it would not cause a bad impact on the inside.Jacob followed Thomas’ instruction by changing the dressing every three hours. The amount of the mushroom became less after every use.Thomas and Birch also dared not be reckless. They observed the changes on the scar of Vera’s face all the time, and th
Forty minutes later, Dylan drove alone to Red Society Pharmacy and entered the lobby.“Thomas, here I came.”Dylan shouted as soon as he came.His performance was not good these days, and he really had nowhere to vent his anger.Thomas walked over and said, “Don’t be so agitated. There will be something that makes you more excited later.”“Wow, just show me how excited I can be!” Dylan angrily said, “The show is ruined now, and the public opinion tends to the other side. The Martin family is ruthlessly insulted by the Gomez family. Thomas, you have to bear the responsibility!”Thomas chuckled without saying anything.He clapped his hands to gesture to Aries that he could bring the person out.“What are you doing?” Dylan asked.“Let you see someone.”“Who?”“Vera.”“Vera?” Dylan’s expression was quite dark. “It’s only because of her that my show is ruined. Why are you asking me to see her now? Do you want her to apologize to me? It’s useless. I don’t buy it.”Dylan kept sco
He had seen the news and the photo. Vera was extremely ugly. She was totally different from this beauty now.“Thomas, I’m not a blockhead. Please don’t fool me. Tell me who she is.”Thomas firmly answered, “She is genuinely Vera.”Vera also took the initiative to say, “Mr. Martin, I’m really Vera. If you don’t believe me, I can sing ‘To the Moon’ for you.”When Dylan saw that they looked so firm, he also had to believe it even if he did not want to.But he did not understand it. Why… Dylan asked, “Thomas, what’s going on? Why does this change so quickly? I don’t have the time for buffering.”Thomas explained, “Actually, what you previously saw and what you’re seeing now are both real. Vera encountered a serious fire when she was little, and the left side of her face was burned. A scar was left on her face.“I left Central City these days because I went to other places to look for the elixir to treat her. Nothing is impossible with persistence. I found it.“These two days, Mr.
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
