“Thomas, who do you think you are?“Wake up! You’re no longer the God of War. You can’t even find a permanent job now. Do you want to stand up to me? Are you worthy?“You don’t have the power you used to have anymore.“Thomas Mayo, you’re nothing now!”Thomas was not angered by Trevor's insults. He glanced at Trevor’s face coldly, like he was looking at a dead person. Then, he left without saying anything.On the way back, Thomas made a call to Alon Fuller, Trevor’s superior, using the number that belonged exclusively to the God of War.Ten minutes later, Trevor Drake was leaning on the couch while drinking beer in his office. The office door opened, and a muscular man walked in. It was Alon, Trevor’s superior!When Trevor saw Alon walk in, he immediately got up and put down his beer. He chuckled and said, “Mr. Fuller, how did you find the time to come to my place today?”Alon’s expression was indifferent, and he spoke in a casual fashion. “I heard that our former superior came
With the qualification certificate, it was reasonable and legal for Lord Vedastus to take Aina’s body with him, and nobody had the right to interfere. Even though her fans became so worked up that their eyes turned red, they still could not do anything.They could not fight him. He had the certificate, so what could they do?Just as Lord Vedastus was filled with pride and about to let his subordinates take Aina’s body so that he could cover up the hideous side of this incident, someone suddenly ran inside.As soon as he entered, he shouted, “Hold on!”Everyone looked over. The person who came in was none other than Trevor.Lord Vedastus chuckled as he asked, “Mr. Drake, why have you personally come over?”He had initially wanted to greet Trevor, but Trevor, unexpectedly, gave him the cold shoulder. His kindness was strictly met with Trevor's disdain!Trevor said, “I thought about it carefully just now. Ms. Leslie suffered through huge torment when she was alive. Even if she had
While everyone watched, Thomas took Aina’s dead body back and sent her to Caring Hospital for dissection and analysis.Thomas had renovated a five-star hotel, turning it into Caring Hospital.Although the renovation time was hurried, the medical equipment and manpower there were the best.The flower that Thomas had obtained from Mr. Cole in House of Vistaria was delivered along with the dead body. Thomas could not uncover anything, so he left the analysis to the professionals.The dead body and the flower might bring Thomas and Celandine City some groundbreaking progress, so Thomas had to take it seriously.After the dead body and flower were sent away, Thomas went back to Food and Medicine Hall. He prepared the ingredients that he would bring to House of Vistaria the next day while he discussed the recent intelligence with Pisces.Pisces was the first to say, “Based on the intelligence we've just obtained, we can surmise that Celandine City is under the control of Lord Vedastus’
At the same time, Lord Vedastus felt incredibly uncomfortable.Since Aina had exposed Art Trading Corporation's "secret" in public, Art Trading Corporation had become the target of criticism, and the media kept reporting about them.Although there was no despicable slander, the news reports were highly negative.Aina’s fans had even set up a banner near Art Trading Corporation's office building and demanded an apology from Lord Vedastus!Using megaphones, they shouted loudly.As Lord Vedastus’ assistance, Hayden already knew what to do before Lord Vedastus gave him any instructions.He arranged for his subordinates to chase away all the people who were causing a stir, and he tried his best to suppress the media. However, his ability was limited. He could suppress those in Celandine City, but how could he suppress all the media outlets in the country?The news continued to swirl and spread at a fast pace.In the office, Hayden kept sighing. If Lord Vedastus had not been sitting,
At midnight, after Thomas packed everything and was about to sleep, Pisces suddenly ran over and knocked on his door.“Commander, there’s something urgent!”If Pisces said that it was urgent, it had to be urgent.Thomas got up, changed his clothes, and opened the door. “What happened?”Pisces immediately said, “Someone's looking for you.”“Who is it?”“The district chief!”The district chief from Celandine City had come to Thomas at midnight. It was definitely something serious.Thomas nodded. He went downstairs with Pisces, and as soon as he walked out of Food and Medicine Hall, he saw a man in his thirties standing next to a black sedan.The man walked over and said, “Good evening, Mr. Mayo. I’m Dynell, Mr. Eric Wood’s driver. Our district chief wants to see you, so he purposely arranged for me to fetch you to his house.”Thomas nodded and got into the car, while Pisces was stopped and forbidden to go.Then, the car drove off.On the way, Dynell said, “Sorry for disturbin
Was this not interesting?If he did not want to expose his identity, he should not have come out in the first place. He could just talk on the phone, right? In the worst situation, he could sit behind a screen.When he sat among the other two people, he was still exposing his identity.No matter what, one of the three men had to be the real district chief.It was also inappropriate for Thomas to say anything when he encountered such a hilarious move. After all, it was Eric’s personal habit, and Thomas had no right to interfere.“I understand.”Thomas nodded at the three old men and said, “Mr. Wood, I wonder why you called me here at midnight?”He treated the three old men as one person just as Dynell said.The old man on the left side said, “Thomas, I've called you here at midnight just for one thing: It’s about Aina!”The old man in the middle said, “Aina exposed Art Trading Corporation's secret to the public, and everyone in the city is talking about it. They're saying that
Would that method work?After all, Ancestral Water was not normal water, and it was difficult to possess.In so many years, there had been no other person aside from Lord Vedastus who had obtained Ancestral Water. How could they guarantee that a new person would be able to drink Ancestral Water at the Luck Ceremony one week later?The difficulty was not of an ordinary level.Thomas said, “Mr. Wood, I’ll leave Ancestral Water to you. You’ll be in charge of getting it, while I'll be responsible for identifying Heart Eater's secret. Let’s split up.”The three old men answered at the same time, “That’s a deal!”After they discussed everything, Thomas took a sip of tea and left Mr. Wood’s private mansion.After he got into the car, Dynell, the driver, spoke in an apologetic tone, “That's our district chief’s temper. Mr. Mayo, please don’t be angry. When you get involved with him more, you'll find that our district chief is actually a good person.”Thomas smiled faintly and answered,
Since his identity had already been exposed, Eric no longer hid. He directly said, “Ever since I came to Celandine City and held the position, I've found that Celandine City has been controlled by a huge power.“I’ve been thinking of ways to undermine the power, but the power behind it is too huge. I've been upset about not having a helper, until you appeared, Mr. Mayo.“I know that when you were in the Southland District, you already got rid of Art Trading Corporation's branch company. So, I wish to establish a working relationship with you to also eradicate the evil force in Celandine City!”Thomas smiled faintly and nodded. “Wishing us a happy collaboration.”Then, Eric personally sent Thomas back to Food and Medicine Hall. To outsiders, Eric was still the driver, Dynell. Nobody knew his real identity except Thomas.Eric could do more things freely only after he had the "Denyll" identity as a cover.“Commander, why was Mr. Wood looking for you at night?” Pisces curiously asked
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
