His words made Levant’s expression change.Indeed, Levant used to be arrogant in the past. He looked down on everyone and thought that he was the best in the world until he met Diego, who defeated him terribly.Since then, Levant knew that there was someone better than him.He did not hate Diego. Conversely, he always went to Diego because he wanted to learn something from Diego.From then on, Levant had set a goal: He wanted to defeat Diego!Unfortunately, this goal soon disappeared because Diego became handicapped after Supreme Club chopped both of his hands off.After Levant heard the news, he was extremely sad.His strong faith instantly collapsed. It was also the reason why he gave up on himself. He purposely hid his skills and left Supreme Club.Thomas sensibly realized this because the relationship between Diego and Levant appeared very similar to the relationship between Thomas and Capricorn.Thomas continued. “Supreme Club destroyed Diego and your faith. As a man, sho
He just broke the knife with his bare hand. That really shocked Levant. This was the first time he raised his head and looked at Thomas seriously. He did not look as scornful as he did earlier.Levant was sensible. A person with a background like his had met countless big shots, so he was able to identify whether a person was actually great or just pretentious.After he saw what Thomas was capable of, he knew that this man had to be extraordinary.Therefore… Levant extended three fingers and said, “I can go with you and join your club, but I have three requests.”“Please state them.”“First of all, provide me with 24-hour bodyguard service. Secondly, build a team with me as the core. Thirdly, I’ll only sign a one-year contract with you. We only have one goal this year, which is to become the champions!”Thomas chuckled. He would satisfy all his three requests.In one year, no, in a month, Thomas would make Art Trading Corporation fall!“I agree to all your requests. Let’s go.
“Very well, go ahead with your plan.”“Yes, Sir!”River turned around and left.Lord Vedastus picked up a teacup and took a sip before he muttered to himself, “Thomas, are you trying to strike Art Trading Corporation from all aspects? Haha! You have a pretty good plan.“But I'll let you know that no matter how you attack me, you'll always lose in the end!“Art Trading Corporation is unbreakable.”Lord Vedastus was absolutely confident that he could guard Art Trading Corporation's territory in esports. If Thomas wanted to grab it from him, he would simply fail.…… At noon, the sun shone brightly.Thomas brought his new team to the esports center in Celandine City. There would be a selection based on the qualifying matches there.Avengers Club wanted to be the champion. The first step was to win the qualifying match so that they could be qualified to participate in the official competition.Opponents in the qualifying matches were usually not capable.That was a fact. In the
As the team leader, Levant led his team members into the preparation zone.Thomas was not a team member, so he naturally could not enter. He just sat in the spectators’ seat and watched the qualifying matches with everyone else.Theoretically, there should not be many audience members during the qualifiers. However, it was different in Celandine City. The place was filled with the most exciting atmosphere in the esports world. Even though it was just the qualifiers, many people were there to watch it.People were happily cheering for the teams. Some people even brought megaphones and shouted. They waved the flags of their favorite teams and cheered.Thomas was also immersed in the atmosphere when he personally felt how exciting it was.At this time, the members of both teams met for the first time in the preparation zone. It was supposed to be a normal encounter, but Levant was shocked.It was because the members of the opponent team were not members of Climbers Club, but members
“Sigh, poor things!”All the audience thought that Climbers Club would undoubtedly win.Then, the competition officially started.There were five positions in the MOBA game, including top solo, mid solo, ADC, jungler, and support.After both teams banned the characters for each other and finished all the selections, the first round of the competition officially began.The competition adopted the best-of-five rule.Perhaps the Climbers looked down on their opponent or it was a tactical need, but they actually chose five highly entertaining hero characters with terrible abilities in the first round.They were looking down on a new team like Avengers.To the members of Climbers Club, they could easily win the match even with five entertaining heroes.However, they were wrong.The first round ended in less than eight minutes, but the victory went to the Avengers.The competition ended with an ugly score of 15 versus 0.The best player in the competition was naturally Levant.T
As the second team in Supreme Club, if they lost to a new team, how shameful would it be?No way, they had to win the next three rounds!All the Climbers members pulled themselves together, and they wanted to win the third round so badly that they were willing to risk their lives.The third round finally commenced.This time, all five members of the opposing team were extremely careful. Each member operated flawlessly. Besides, they also noticed how capable Levant was, so they kept limiting him.They initially thought that the Avengers was a team who was led by Levant alone. If they limited Levant, the whole team would be finished.But who would have thought… The support showed up.The support could not kill the opposing team, but he was an excellent helper. Whenever his teammates were in danger, he would show up just in time.The support was Aiden.The heroes of the Avengers team tended to fight later in the game, so it was more stressful for their heroes earlier on.As th
River’s expression was completely sullen. He dared not even stare at Levant who was walking over. Earlier, he had insulted Levant nonstop and thought that he could steadily get rid of the Avengers.Who would have known that there would be such an awkward outcome?Levant walked up to River, blew into his hand, and smiled faintly as he stared at the man.“Mr. Gibson, it should be the time to complete the bet we made, right?”Many people gathered around Levant and River, staring at them with strange gazes. All of them did not seem to have good intentions.They were not “good people”. They enjoyed watching a show, and they were not afraid of causing a stir. They could not wait for them to start fighting.River was the person in charge of his club, and he was feeling incredibly embarrassed now.He whispered, “Levant, we’re old friends. You don’t have to do this to me, right?”Old friends?Levant chuckled and said, “Why don’t I remember having an old friend like you? Try to think ab
“I spent so much money to recruit the most outstanding players in Celandine City, but this is the result I get. This is ridiculous!”…… In contrast to Lord Vedastus’ enragement, Thomas felt ecstatic. Finally, everything was starting to go according to his plan. This victory did not cause any practical harm to Art Trading Corporation, but it was still a heavy blow on Lord Vedastus’ dignity.What Thomas wanted to do was slowly shake Art Trading Corporation's domination from all aspects.However, if he wanted to end Art Trading Corporation's reign, he still had to do one more thing, which was to be acknowledged by Luck.If Thomas' previous prediction was not wrong, Luck would be the real mastermind behind the scenes. Luck acknowledged Art Trading Corporation but not Thomas.Once things got critical, Luck would step forth and help Lord Vedastus.Therefore, Thomas had to obtain Ancestral Water and get Luck to acknowledge him so that he could deal with Lord Vedastus without fear.
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
