After all, Aina had made the presence of Heart Eater known to the public. She had exposed Art Trading Corporation’s hideous side to the masses, and the agitated crowd kept criticizing the company. Yet, the government was not doing anything?Who would believe that?The only explanation was, the government did not want to alert the enemy, so they were carrying out their investigation in secret. What worried Fiora the most was the new district chief of Celandine City. Ever since he came, he had been missing in action, so nobody knew what he looked like.Such a person was either a lousy man or a skilled one.Fiora was more willing to believe the latter.A lousy person would never become a district chief. Eric Wood had to be an outstanding person! Perhaps Eric already had a lot of things on Art Trading Corporation, and he was just waiting for the right time to strike.Every time Fiora thought about it, she felt like she was surrounded by danger.She was not afraid of Thomas because
Elliot did not take Fiora’s warning seriously at all. He did not do as she said. Instead, he presumptuously and boldly grabbed Rose by the collar. Upon exerting some strength, he tore it, and her shirt was ripped into pieces, revealing her skin.“Aaah!”Rose felt embarrassed and frightened. She was so scared that she screamed non-stop.Elliot loved to hear the frightened and helpless screams of women the most. He raised his head and laughed, enjoying the moment very much.Fiora was furious.Her buddy was being humiliated. How could she bear it?“Somebody, help!”Whoosh! Four muscular bodyguards immediately rushed inside.Fiora pointed at Elliot while she commanded, “Catch that pervert and castrate him!”Huh?The bodyguards looked at each other and dared not move at all.They did not want to refuse Fiora’s request, but Elliot had a very important role in Art Trading Corporation, and they could not easily offend him.Even Lord Vedastus needed to respect Elliot on usual days,
He remained silent for a while before he suddenly yelled at Fiora in anger, “How dare you! Mr. Katz is a VIP of Art Trading Corporation. Even I have to respect him, and you actually tried to kill him just for a subordinate. You don’t respect me at all!“Fiora, do you know what you’ve done wrong?”After Fiora heard that, her heart almost shattered. She raised her head and looked at Lord Vedastus. Was this her father?Although Lord Vedastus had always been strict, he had pampered Fiora since she was little, and she could always feel his unspoken fatherly love.Yet, this time, why would he… Everything could be concluded using one word: Profit.All the profit, including power, money, and status had changed Lord Vedastus.Fiora knew it.Despite knowing it, she still could not accept it. She felt aggrieved and upset.“I made a mistake.”Fiora chose to compromise. She had always done that since she was little, never refuting Lord Vedastus.Lord Vedastus nodded and continued to say
Meanwhile, Thomas met Eric, the district chief. He obtained a venue that was not controlled by Art Trading Corporation from Eric and organized the concert there.After the venue problem was settled, the guest list was quickly confirmed as well.Everything was done speedily.The stage decoration was completed on the day itself, and all the guests arrived. Everyone had made their way over in response to Stella’s call.There were other attendees aside from the famous celebrities, who came to the venue. Since they did not have to purchase any tickets, a large group of audience members instantly rushed inside.Most of them had come to commemorate Aina.Aina had held a high status in Celandine City, so her death had dealt a heavy blow to many people. They attended the concert today just to commemorate this superstar who could be described as “mighty.”The sky turned dark.After the audience members sat down, Stella slowly walked up to the stage and initiated the event.She was enthu
At the concert, Aina's number one fan, Kingsley, looked agitated. He had been screaming the whole time to cheer for the guests on the stage.He would support everyone who came to help Aina!He even admired Stella to the maximum.Suddenly, two men showed up beside him and whispered into his ear. His gaze changed slightly after he heard them, and he immediately left the venue with both of them.Ten minutes later, they arrived at a vacant place outside the venue, and a van was parked there.When the two men saw that nobody was around, they opened the door to the backseat of the van. Two men, who were tied up, were lying inside, and it seemed like they were sleeping.Kingsley asked, “Are they the accomplices of Art Trading Corporation that you told me about?”One of the men nodded and angrily said in a righteous manner, “Yes, they are the Rahels. The old man is Denzel Rahel, and the young man is Marcel Rahel. They're both Art Trading Corporation's lackeys!“They constantly slandere
What was going on? Did the show change at the last minute?Not only was the audience confused, but all the performing artists including Stella and the staff were also just as confused. What was the meaning of this?Was it not a concert? Why did it look like it was a stage show?But nobody was frightened.Most of the people there knew Kingsley. Since he was Aina’s top fan, many people had attended this concert because of him, rushing over there following his call. “Kingsley, what show are you performing for us?!” someone laughed and shouted. They did not sense any danger.Stella and other staff members were not alerted either.She understood Kingsley quite well. She knew that he was Aina’s top fan. Hence, he would not do anything disadvantageous to the concert.However, the subsequent situation made everyone’s jaw drop in shock.Kingsley raised his head and looked into the distance at the crowd. He raised his microphone and said, “All audience members who've come to the concer
“Haha!”He raised his head and cackled.“Everyone can die! Do you see it, Ms. Leslie? I killed Art Trading Corporation's lackeys with my own hands. I've avenged you.“Next, I’m going to kill Hayden, as well as Lord Vedastus, and make Art Trading Corporation fall completely!“Ms. Leslie, just await my good news.”Everyone was shocked when they saw how crazy Kingsley looked.The concert would not be able to continue.The audience members were shocked, and they ran away. Only a few fearless people continued to stay and watch the show. Others just ran away.The staff also went up to the stage immediately to keep Kingsley under control and called the police. They waited for the police to bring Kingsley away.The concert today was a failure.When Stella stared at Kingsley who had gone insane on the stage, she became dumbfounded.What… What was going on?At this time, Hayden raised a wine glass in his office in Art Trading Corporation. He took a drink as he laughed.The live broa
In a private office in the police station, two men sat opposite each other.One was Thomas, and the other man was the district chief, Eric.They just sat there without speaking. Both of them knew what the other was thinking about. It was hard to understand the current situation.After a long time, Eric was the first to say, “Mr. Mayo, we’re in trouble this time. You initially organized the concert to attack Art Trading Corporation, but Hayden made use of it. How will you solve this problem?”How to solve it?The question was simple, but it was difficult to answer. The first thing he could be sure of was Kingsley had done everything voluntarily, and nobody had forced him.Kingsley would receive the death penalty.Hayden had used Kingsley’s insane urge to exact revenge, and he had made the Rahels Kingsley's sacrifice so that he could get rid of them using Kingsley's hands.That way, Kingsley would be guilty of all the crimes.Meanwhile, Kingsley represented all the concert sta
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
