When Silvester heard that, he instantly could not bear it. He covered his head and felt irritated.This meant all his hard work from a while ago had gone to waste.He glared at Fred. “This is all your fault! You said Vincent is dead, but he did not die. He even lived very healthily.“What did I say? I said we mustn’t let Thomas treat Vincent. If he cured Vincent, that would help Thomas gain huge power, right?“You didn’t listen to me. You said Mr. Braun was severely sick and would die undoubtedly, and even God could not cure him.“So what happened now?“It turns out Thomas has outstanding skills, and he cured Vincent! Now, Vincent has already taken Thomas’ side. We have become more passive now.“Fred, look at what you’ve done. I really want to stab you to death!”Everything Silvester said actually made some sense.If it had not been for Fred’s plan, Silvester would not have let Thomas approach Vincent, and he would not have given Thomas the chance.What happened now? It looke
Subsequently, the media reported all real news according to Vincent’s request. This time, even Silvester could not reverse the situation.Sensational news kept popping up, and all the media outlets competed to report and explain Thomas’ situation clearly.This time, everyone changed from hating Thomas to thanking Thomas.Humans were emotional.When the keyboard warriors realized that they had wrongly criticized a good person, they felt extremely guilty.In such situations, nobody could hold themselves back.Everyone opened the comment section and published their opinions. Most of them started to apologize to Thomas with their greatest sincerity.They knew they were wrong and they should not have criticized Thomas before they clarified things.In an instant, apologies filled the headlines.In the Hill family, Emma sat at home as she read the news continuously. After she saw the apologies, she finally sighed in relief.Johnson also said, “Thomas is really great. His medical ski
Soon, Thomas arrived at the restaurant.Lotus Dining was a big top hotel in the Southland District, and it was a designated place for government officials to hold banquets. Ordinary rich men did not have the authority to eat there.People who went there had to be very noble.The two police officers were not qualified to go in, so they just sent Thomas to the door before they went back to the car.Thomas smoothed out his shirt before he walked into the restaurant.After he entered the restaurant, there was no receptionist. Only a waiter was standing in front of the counter while playing with his phone.People rarely went there to eat on usual days, so there were very few waiters.Even if there were waiters, most of them just played with their phones.Once your habit was developed, it was very hard to change it.This waiter usually played games when he was working. He clearly knew that Mr. Braun was holding a banquet there today, but he still made no efforts to change his habit.
The security guards took out their electric batons. This restaurant was different from other restaurants. Everyone who dined here was an important guest of the government.So, the security guards were excellent personnel after the strict selection.Each of them had an electric baton, and they were ready to deal with those bad people who could harm the guests.Now, Thomas became a criminal in these people’s eyes!“Kneel and raise your hand!” the security guard scolded.However, Thomas did not follow his instructions. Of course, if Thomas did that, he would not be the God of War.Thomas glanced around, and coldness could be seen from his gaze.“Lie down! Do you hear me?”Thomas still did not move in the slightest. He even put both hands into his pockets and wore the expression of someone who could not be bothered.The security guards could not bear the sight.“I’m warning you once!“I’m warning you twice!“I’m warning you thrice!”When three warnings were useless, those secu
The farce just now did not affect him at all.While he was having fun with the game, he heard some tapping footsteps. A middle-aged man had walked down from the private room upstairs, and it was Mr. Vincent Braun! The waiter dared not neglect him. He just threw his phone aside even though he had not finished the game. He stood up straight while he respectfully said, “Good afternoon, Mr. Braun!”“Good afternoon,” Vincent simply answered before he looked in the direction of the entrance. Then, he looked at his phone. It seemed like he was waiting for an important guest.His actions instantly attracted the waiter’s attention. The waiter smiled faintly as he asked, “Mr. Braun, are you waiting for an important guest?”Vincent nodded. “Yes, I invited a guest for lunch. I even purposely asked the police officers to invite him from his house. Theoretically, he should have arrived by now. Why don’t I see him?”The waiter said, “Maybe he is occupied with something?”“I guess so.” Vincent
Thomas was sitting on a long bench in the detention center. He closed his eyes and rested as if he did not hear what the waiter said.The waiter waited for a few seconds at the door. When he noticed that Thomas did not respond, he frowned. Then, he forced a smile and walked up to Thomas before he chuckled and said, “Mr. Mayo, I know what happened earlier was my fault. I should not have locked you in this place. You can punch me or punish me. Just don’t throw a tantrum, please.”Throw a tantrum?Haha! Thomas was going to throw a tantrum right now!Thomas acted like he did not hear him. He leaned on the wall with his eyes closed, and he did not move at all. Nobody knew whether he was sleeping or not.When the waiter saw that Thomas did not move, he anxiously nudged Thomas a little. “Mr. Mayo! Mr. Mayo, are you sleeping? Mr. Mayo?”At that moment, Thomas gently waved his hand to push the waiter’s hand away.“Mr. Mayo, you’re not sleeping.”The waiter chuckled and continued to say,
This was ridiculous!Someone felt unhappy, so he purposely said, “Mr. Mayo, I heard that your medical skills are the best in the world. You can bring a dead person back to life, and you managed to help Mr. Braun, who was severely sick, recover. You’re truly awesome.”Thomas casually said, “I didn’t bring him back to life. I just used the technique of Apparent Death.”Technique of Apparent Death?Haha! There was also another doctor in the room. He was Ezra Mendez, Vincent’s personal doctor.He did not see Thomas’ magical treatment because he had gone abroad to search for a solution to save Vincent, so he did not understand Thomas’ medical skills accurately.From his perspective, Thomas was an opportunistic person who had taken the advantage that initially belonged to him.Hmph!Ezra scoffed. He intentionally played a dirty trick and said, “Mr. Mayo, since you’re so incredible, why don’t we play a small game?”Thomas smiled faintly. “What game is it?”Ezra stood up. He casual
Ezra did not believe it. How could he not know which dish he had poisoned?He took big bites and ate while he said, “Wow, this tastes really good. It’s delicious. This steak is really tender.”When everyone saw him eat happily, they sighed in relief. It seemed that the steak was also not poisoned.In that case, it was a tie for Thomas and Ezra.Nobody would feel embarrassed.While everyone thought that the whole thing would pass just like that, an accident happened. Ezra’s face suddenly became distorted, and he coughed up some blood, staining the table red.Everyone beside him was shocked. All of them got up and took a few steps back.The food was poisonous!Ezra covered his neck with his hands, and he was in so much pain that he could not say a word. He instantly fell to the ground. His body twitched for a while before he stopped moving.He seemed to be dead.“Ezra!”Vincent was shocked. He quickly went over and checked on Ezra. Ezra was still breathing, but it was very slo
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
