A few of the girls were so scared that they kept screaming. All of them hid in the corner and dared not move in the slightest. The other men also looked at each other, and none of them were brave enough to fight Thomas again.Stella turned around and looked at Thomas. She really did not expect this lousy man, whom she usually insulted in a casual fashion, to be so strong like that.She just did not know that Thomas was the God of War!Thomas bent down slightly, looked at Marcel, and spoke with a cold expression. “Apologize.”Apologize?Marcel chuckled. “Bah! Who the heck are you? How dare you ask me to apologize? My father is the head teacher, and he’s a relative of Mr. Hayden Barlow from Art Trading Corporation!”Relative of Hayden?No wonder he was so arrogant and bold to simply bully Blake’s granddaughter.But, Thomas did not care about that.Thomas had even killed Hayden’s son. Would he be afraid of this guy?Before he finished speaking, Thomas exerted more strength on hi
About an hour later, Thomas drove Stella to House of Vistaria, and they smoothly entered the house.The two of them walked into the living room one after another.Blake quickly went up to them and curiously asked, “Why are you back so late?”“I talked to my coursemates for a little while,” Stella casually said.“Okay, wash your hands and get ready to eat.”“Okay, I got it, Grandpa.”Stella smiled and ran off to play with Phoebe. Those two girls were a little unsociable, and they did not have any friends either. In the end, the two of them got along better.While they played, Blake approached Thomas.“Mr. Mayo, just like I told you on the phone, for some reason, my granddaughter has been in a bad mood, and she doesn’t want to eat either. I’m worried that something’s wrong with her body. Can you help me take a look at her?”Actually, Blake had asked Thomas to pick Stella up because he also wanted to make Thomas approach Stella more.The more he understood Stella, the more confi
To not let Stella steal all the “credit”... “Why are you still standing there? Come over and join us,” Phoebe urged him.Thomas was stunned for a moment. He did not expect Stella to change her attitude about him so greatly, so he walked back, moved a chair over, and sat next to Blake.They instantly ate together like a family.Blake curiously asked, “Stella, why are you…”Phoebe pointed at Thomas with her fork, and her gesture meant, “Why are you willing to eat with him today?”Stella arrogantly said, “I’m in a good mood.”Everyone looked at each other and chuckled.After the meal, everyone left. Pisces silently cleaned up the table and washed the dishes.Blake brought Thomas to the side and asked him, “Mr. Mayo, please be honest to me. What happened to you and Stella today?”“Nothing.”“Nothing? But why has she suddenly changed her attitude toward men? Something’s wrong.”Thomas chuckled and leisurely said, “When I went to pick her up today, I noticed that she was being b
Blake shrugged. “This girl is going to make so much noise, and we won’t be able to rest well.”He said to Thomas, “Mr. Mayo, please cure my granddaughter as soon as possible. Make her happy and be cheerful every day. If you can do that, I’ll recommend you to be Mr. Cole’s student!”After Blake said that, he silently walked away.Stella’s singing voice could still be heard.Thomas pondered for a while before he said to Pisces, “Did you bring the Ipad?”“Yes.”“Give it to me.”“Okay.”Thomas reached out to take the Ipad and tapped on it until he opened the Shark Hunters live streaming platform. There, he found Moon, which was Stella’s live streaming channel. It was the stage name that Stella would use when she went live.Thomas put on his earphones and watched Stella’s live broadcast. It was different from the sexy female live streamers who performed salacious dances. Stella’s live stream channel was simple, as she was just singing, and her outfit was also conservative.Such
[Women nowadays are so materialistic.]Insulting comments kept appearing on the screen again and again, messing up the entire live stream.Stella became the synonym of a “gold digger,” but she clearly just wanted to sing.That was the kind of situation Marcel wanted to see.He wanted to exact revenge on Stella.He had a lot of money, so he loved to insult others with his money. If she was capable, she could insult him back! He did not care one bit about Stella’s die-hard fans in her live stream.Tonight, he wanted to insult Stella with his money!Thomas could not sit still when he saw how aggrieved Stella looked and Marcel's arrogant comments crossing the screen. He let out a long sigh and took out his Prosperous Gold Card.The card contained Thomas’ savings, and the amount was incalculable!Thomas did not think about it in depth. He first signed up for an account on Shark Hunters and gave himself the username, “God of War Is Here.”Then, he linked his account to his Prospe
[What’s a real rich man? This is a real rich man!][Real rich men never waste time talking nonsense. They would just spend money straight away. Only idiots, who pretend to be rich, speak fiercely but can’t send any rockets.][We can clearly see who is better and who is weaker.]The atmosphere in the live stream totally changed. The commenters went from supporting Marcellus to mocking each other.]It was a simple place.They would just listen to whoever was rich.Stella finally flashed them a faint smile as she said, “Thank you for standing up for me, God of War Is Here.”The live stream was flooded with comments. [Say yes to him! Say yes!]Marcellus was completely humiliated.He sent another comment. [You don't really think that I have no money, do you?]Whoosh!God of War Is Here sent one hundred rockets for the third time.Marcellus commented. [Fella, do you think you’re great after sending a few rockets? I’m telling you now, money is nothing to me. I…] Whoosh!This ti
Thomas also wore a delighted smile after he saw Stella sing happily. After he listened to the song, he turned off his Ipad, removed his earphones, and packed his stuff.On Monday, Thomas took the initiative to visit House of Vistaria and personally gave Stella a ride to her college.It surprised Stella slightly.At the same time, it also made Phoebe a little unhappy. When she was having breakfast, she was upset, and she felt like her best friend had surpassed her!When Stella entered the car, she suddenly said to Thomas, “God of War Is Here?”However, Thomas did not show any visible reaction.Stella was a little disappointed. She initially thought that God of War Is Here was Thomas. But upon careful consideration, Thomas was not very close with her, so he would not spend so much money for her.She pouted and stopped thinking about it.Today was the day of the annual campus recruitment in Celandine Art Academy. The HR staff from many management companies, film studios, and recor
Unfortunately, her dignity was still ridiculed.Denzel stared at her with the ghost of a smile and mocked her by saying, “Yes, your singing skills are not worse than that of anyone here, but you just can’t get the recommendation.”“How is that possible?”“It’s possible… because the recommendations are made by me!”He was so straightforward that he did not cover up his bias at all.Denzel was the tyrant in this college, and he placed himself above all students. He used his power to suppress the students and retaliate against those who did not cooperate.When he found out that Stella had humiliated Marcel, he removed her from the namelist.Personal power was weak before absolute power.No matter how gifted she was, it was useless.“You’re abusing your power to exact revenge on me!” Stella said with hatred.Denzel chuckled. “Yes, so what? You’re a student, and I’m the head teacher!”Stella could not refute what he just said.Denzel paused for a while before he continued. “But
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
