This was the feeling of liking someone, right?…After leaving the House of Vistaria, Thomas did not choose to go back to the Food and Medicine Hall but rushed to Caring Hospital instead. This was because he had received information that Aina’s autopsy had been released.Thomas drove all the way, and he quickly came to Caring Hospital. He went to the autopsy room with Pisces.This was the core of Caring Hospital, where protective measures were taken.Even if the Art Trading Corporation invaded by force, it was absolutely impossible for them to barge in.Right after Thomas walked in, he asked, “What’s the result?”Lewis Madden, the doctor who analyzed the anatomy, came over and said through the mask, “Mr. Mayo, based on the information you provided about the Heart Eater, we have conducted an anatomical analysis of Aina’s corpse. Everything matched, and Aina was indeed poisoned by Heart Eater.“Although she is dead, the toxin is still spreading in her body. This poison will not s
All of a sudden, Thomas was brainstorming and thinking about all the possibilities.Lewis stood at the side and waited silently without saying a word. He had been with Thomas for a long time, so he knew of Thomas’s habits. He must not disturb Thomas’s thinking at this moment.About twenty minutes later, Thomas finished brainstorming.He calmly said, “Flowers are both antidote and poison. Someone uses flowers to make Heart Eater control the entire Celandine City. At the same time, he uses flowers to make an antidote to ensure that these controlled people won’t die.“I brought this flower back from Mr. Cole’s garden. On the surface, the possibility of Mr. Cole being the culprit is very high. However, don’t forget that Mr. Cole has another apprentice, Elliot, Capricious Holy Hand.“Elliot has also learned the cultivation skills of this flower. The most crucial point is that Elliot is poached by Lord Vedastus, and he has been working for him.“There is a much higher chance of Heart E
The Supreme Club was a super-strong club built by Art Trading Corporation after spending several years, so it should not be underestimated.If they could successfully win tonight, then the first shot of attacking the Art Trading Corporation would be successfully fired! If they could not win, everything would be in vain.“The boys have to work hard tonight.”…At the same time, inside the Art Trading Corporation.The person in charge of the Supreme Club, River, rushed into Hayden’s office. After greeting, he smiled and asked, “Mr. Barlow, I heard you’re looking for me.”“Yes.”Hayden sat down to rest. He seemed very unhappy.It was no wonder he was unhappy.He wanted to destroy Thomas previously, but not only did he fail, but he also spent money to help Thomas advertise. Lord Vedastus had reprimanded him because of this, so he could not let it go.After a while, Hayden asked, “I heard that there is a final with the Avengers Club tonight?”River nodded. “Yes, that’s right.”“
Tonight was a carnival night for every e-sports fan as the final was about to start.Two teams took part in the competition. One was the Supreme Club with potent strength, and they had been the champions over the years. The other one was the dark horse, Avengers Club.Both teams had never competed before.In many people’s opinion, the Avengers Club would definitely lose. It was already rare for it to reach this stage. Even though it was a dark horse, it still could not defeat the invincible Supreme Club.However, there were also a few people who believed that the strength of every member of the Avengers Club was beyond ordinary, and it was possible for them to defeat the Supreme Club.Tonight’s battle would determine the champion.Before the competition, the fans had already sat in their seats and shouted wildly. Of course, seventy percent of the fans here were the fans of the Supreme Club. Their numbers were much higher than the fans of Avengers Club.Thomas, Pisces, and the ot
“After inspections by the notary public and technical staff, they found no issues with the equipment,” he continued after a little pause. “Please don’t make excuses for your own blunders and continue with the game.”The game resumed after that statement was made.Supreme Club's team members were all outstanding players, and they had an irreversible lead thanks to the large advantage they had built up prior to this, as well as the assistance provided by their equipment.The result of the game was set.The first round ended in a whirlwind of debate.Levant stomped his feet in rage. How could they possibly continue the game with such crappy equipment that lagged every few seconds? It was as horrible as sitting through a PowerPoint presentation.The worst part was that the judge, notary public, and technicians were all covering for them and siding with them.But that was not all. There was something even worse. Someone from the audience took the lead and yelled, “If you can’t beat
The audience was taken aback as this was their first time seeing a game like this.Could this really be considered as a proper tournament? They were willing to go to such an extent to win! The obvious cover-up was to allow Supreme Club to win, but did the game really need to continue if it was like this?“This is not fair!”“I’m not watching this anymore. What’s the point?”“Supreme Club really sucks!”The audience stood up and cursed at them. Many people supported the Avengers Club and protested with their actions. But the host did not care about it. “If Avengers Club drops out of the game today, Supreme Club will be the winner,” he stated gleefully to the tens of thousands of spectators. “It makes no difference how much you rant and how much you protest. This tournament’s outcome was fixed from the start, and no one can change it!”They had seen a lot of shameless people before, but that was the first time they had seen someone so shameless. The audacity of them to do
How could they continue to play in this situation?In a matter of minutes, the opponents had already financially crushed them, and they had also welcomed their first team battle at the six-minute mark.It was 5 vs 5 players. The financial disparity between both teams was vast, and Levant’s team had issues with their equipment as well. How could they continue to play? When the team battle began, Levant and his team were experiencing lagging equipment again, and the entire group of five had disconnected. All of them just stared dumbly in their spot as they watched the opponents beat them up. When the crowd saw this, they were furious, but there was nothing they could do to help.Just when everyone thought that Levant’s team was about to lose the game completely, an accident happened.Everyone was surprised to learn that, for unknown reasons, Levant's team's five characters had miraculously returned to normal, while the opponent's five characters had just stopped moving!The
The reports were promptly followed up, the news of the new e-sports champion — Avengers Club, quickly spread through the streets.Thomas was not idle either. He had already prepared the article since the beginning.As soon as the results of the competition were announced, he arranged all the media under him to spread the news, recounting all the suffering that Avengers Club’s members had endured along the way and seemingly unintentionally mentioning all the evil deeds of Supreme Club.This has completely ignited the hatred of the public for Supreme Club, and it became the target of everyone's scorn.Supreme Club had become a derogatory term.In this way, Art Trading Corporation was in an even worse situation than before, and they were already in a not-so-good situation back then. But due to the article, they were put under the spotlight and spoken about by the people. Aina's death just happened recently, and their club cheated during a tournament as well.Even if there was a fi
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
