Suddenly, halfway through his sentence, Pig froze and stood still, as if rooted to the ground, and he was unable to continue speaking. He and Thomas continued to stare at each other.And the whole place fell into dead silence. Huh?Poison Rose frowned. ‘What made Pig quiet down suddenly? What happened?’“What’re you doing, Boss D? Go ahead and chop off that jerk’s limbs and take revenge for me!” she urged.Her words traveled loud and clear into Pig’s ears. But Pig did not even dare to move a muscle.Pig acted as if he had turned into a fossil. Sweat dripped from his forehead and flowed down his cheeks.“We meet again, Pig,” Thomas said lightly. That sentence nearly scared Pig to death. That face in front of him was still fresh in his mind. When he wanted to beat Thomas up yesterday, he ended up getting beaten up by Thomas’s underling, Pisces, instead. Pig’s body was still covered in cuts and wounds, and his face was still painted blue and black.He did not want to go thr
In Art Trading Corporation’s meeting room, the deputy chairman, Bernard, was holding a dagger and peeling an apple. He did it in a circular motion, round and round, so that the skin did not break. Knock, knock, knock. There were a few knocks at the door. “Come in.”The meeting room’s door was pushed open with a squeak, and the secretary escorted Granny Wolf in. Granny Wolf was also holding a swaddled baby, who appeared to be no more than two months old. Once he saw the baby, Bernard was so excited he could barely sit still. He jumped up with shaky hands and rushed to stand in front of Granny Wolf, his eyes wide with excitement as he looked at the infant.“Is-is this Thomas’s daughter—Abigail Mayo?” “Yes.” Granny Wolf gave him an affirmative reply. Bernard was ecstatic because he had finally gotten his wish fulfilled. It was the first time since Thomas returned to Southland District that things had gone so smoothly for him.“I kept my eyes on Thomas’s wife, Emma, and swa
“Have you seen ‘Resident Evil 7’ before?” Bernard questioned the secretary instead of answering the question.“Huh?”The secretary was a little surprised and was not sure why the question was asked, but she responded, “I’ve seen a little of it before.”Bernard continued, “In the game, the antagonist, Eveline, was made into a bioweapon who could turn every single part of her body into a weapon, and she could even infect others with the mold she created.“And she tried to kill her own father, too!”“But what does this have to do with us?” the secretary asked, scratching her head. “Don’t tell me that we have to raise this child and convince her that you are her father, then for her to turn against Thomas and murder her own father when she is older?”Bernard laughed and said, “It’s not like I haven’t thought of that plan before, and it’ll be fantastic if that happens. However, with Thomas’s abilities, it’s impossible to have enough time to train her slowly. Besides, Southland Distric
Granny Wolf, on the other hand, quickly took a taxi to the airport after receiving the check and plane ticket.Actually, she was well aware of the gravity of this situation and that Thomas was not an easy person to deal with. It was probable that she might be dead once he caught wind of her whereabouts. So, she was pushing the driver to speed up the entire journey. Granny Wolf believed it was safe for her to run away and that Thomas would never be able to track her down in such a short time, but she had underestimated Thomas’s abilities.Around halfway through the ride, eight cars appeared in front of the taxi and blocked the road. Screech~The driver slammed on the brakes, forcing the car to come to a halt.“What’s happening?”The taxi driver got out of his car and glanced at the line of cars blocking the road, which he could not pass through. ‘What the hell is going on here?’“Oi, what’s going on in front of there?”As soon as the driver finished speaking, all the doors
The phone had been damaged, the cheque had been ripped, and the flight ticket had been taken.Granny Wolf, who had nothing, climbed up and walked along the main road, although she had to use every ounce of her strength to do so.Although she had been severely beaten, she had not suffered serious injuries and was still able to walk normally. She just kept walking ahead, hoping that she would be saved if she could meet the passing cars.But how could Thomas possibly allow her to be saved?A new round of attacks came in less than half an hour after Granny Wolf was on foot, because Thomas had issued a second command to his men—splash!Granny Wolf was strolling down the street when she heard a blast of motorbike sounds from behind her as she walked."Is there anyone behind me?"The Granny Wolf turned her head hopefully and was about to open her mouth to ask for help. But she was taken aback when she saw those men on motorcycles.Those were the black-clad men!"Why are you guys here
The weather was gloomy and dreary, and black sedans stopped at the Art Trading Corporation's entrance, one by one.The security guards intended to walk over and inquire about the situation at first, but when they saw a couple hundred people exit the car, they were terrified and hid in the corner, not daring to move.After all, security guards only made a few thousand dollars per month. It was not worthwhile to do so.Thomas stood at the front of all of them, and behind him stood Aquarius and Ryan.This time, Thomas did not hesitate to use the Power of Almighty to free his daughter from the Art Trading Corporation, and he was unconcerned about concealing his identity. The most important thing was to save the daughter.Without saying a word, Thomas led the people to barge inside. Others looked down on the Art Trading Corporation, which is usually observed in the Southland District, but no one dared to stand out to block Thomas's way at this moment.They did not even have the courag
Bernard paid no heed and continued, "The Art Trading Corporation has a special pharmaceutical formula called 'Heart Eater' that will strengthen a person's body and spirit after use. I apologize for not going through your consent and instead using it on your daughter."But don't worry, Mr. Mayo, this Heart Eater's effectiveness is really great."You can ask Daniel and Geovanni if you don't trust me. They've both used it previously, and it's really effective!"Oh, Daniel is dead. Sorry, then you go ask Geovanni, but the outcome will be the same."His words have been made clear.Thomas, Aquarius, and Ryan, each of whom was extremely smart, had already figured out what Bernard had done to Abigail's body.As Ryan predicted at the outset, what Bernard would most likely do was to leave Abigail wanting to die, thus keeping Thomas in the shadows for the rest of his life.And Bernard really did that.He controlled Southland District by using Heart Eater to subdue industrial heavyweights
Thomas went directly to the police station with the child. Aquarius had already called the district chief, Vincent, to clarify the situation. They immediately met Vincent as soon as they arrived at the police station."Mr. Mayo, I am sorry for what has happened to you." When confronted with such a situation, Vincent was actually unable to do anything.Vincent was not a god, there was no way to remove the poison from Abigail's body.Not to mention Vincent and even Thomas, who were unable to treat Daniel back then. The Heart Eater's poison was extremely rare in the world. Otherwise, controlling the whole Southland District in just ten months would be impossible.Thomas said, "Perhaps there is an option."Vincent said, "Mr. Mayo, do you have a solution? Just let me know what you're planning, and I'll do my best to help you."Thomas replied, "Previously, when we retrieved those Plant Humans from Bernard's hands, weren't they the antidote? This batch of "goods" was the source of all i
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
