“Of course,” Declan gave a positive answer, and he said, “Mr. Cole has passed away. You and Elliot are the only two people in the world who master grafting techniques, and Elliot is working for Lord Vedastus. Now, you and I are actually on the same side.“Come with me.” Declan took the initiative to turn around and leave. He led Thomas into the side gate of the garden, going around in circles.Finally, they came to a place that looked like an altar.There was a “magic circle” here, and a pentagram was on the floor. There was a fire pillar on each of the five corners, and a burning red circular object was hidden inside each fire pillar.Declan said, “This Pentagram is made up of the Five Elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. If you want to obtain the Ancestral Water, you must extinguish all the five fire pillars so that the city’s luck can flow the Ancestral Water down.”Thomas turned and looked around. The flames of these five fire pillars were no different from ordinar
Thomas came to the hall of House of Vistaria and happened to see Phoebe sitting on the couch, so he did not hesitate. He went straight up to repeat Declan’s words and asked for Phoebe’s help.After listening, Phoebe was a little confused.To be honest, she did not expect things to turn out like this.However, she would definitely be very happy to go out alone with Thomas for a while. It was just that she did not want to be so obvious and appeared to be “cheap”.So, Phoebe deliberately set a requirement and said, “You asked me for help, so how are you going to express your gratitude?”How should he express his gratitude?Thomas said, “Miss Mars, feel free to tell me if you need anything. I’ll do my best to do what I can.”Phoebe looked around and thought about what she needed.In fact, she had a comfortable life as a member of the House of Vistaria.What she needed most was love.Thomas’s love.But how could she say such an embarrassing thing?For some reason, something appe
Suddenly, he felt envious.Phoebe felt annoyed when she saw him.However, Callum passed by her on purpose. He glanced at the dishes on the table and kept shaking his head. “So poor. Miss Mars, do you all eat these leftovers when you come out? Tsk. Tsk. Tsk. How pitiful.“Well, if you dated me back then, you won’t suffer now.“Even if you want to date me now, I won’t date you anymore because I don’t like second-hand goods, hahahaha.”He laughed and walked past Phoebe.He was extremely arrogant.Not only that, but Callum also took his girlfriend to a seat not far away and deliberately read out the dishes on the table one by one to show off to Phoebe and Thomas.Phoebe kept taking deep breaths as she was about to get angry.Thomas smiled and shook his head. He asked Phoebe, “How about I order some expensive dishes, too?”Phoebe waved her hand. “Don’t. It’s childish. Can we finish some many dishes? Just forget it.”Thomas said nothing and just thought that the scene was hilariou
Dancing in the air was a cat-shaped balloon while being surrounded by wisps of smoke. It was stunning and eye-catching.Callum and his family were totally taken aback by this grand spectacle.What…?Callum clenched his fists in anger. He had originally intended to humiliate Thomas and also make Phoebe regret not marrying him, but he ended up embarrassing himself instead.He simply could not stomach this humiliation.“Honey, I want a flying kitty too,” his girlfriend Mia said with a pout. “Baby, don’t make such unreasonable demands, he can’t do it,” Phoebe seized the opportunity and said, “He only knows how to hang up banners. People would think that he’s a worker who hasn’t been paid, and is demanding for his wages.”One had to admit, women were natural casuists. When she was angry, even a sophisticated girl like Phoebe would be able to say words that packed a solid punch.Her statement gave such a solid “punch” that it made Callum lose the desire to retort. She was rea
Callum whistled at Phoebe and said shamelessly, “Some people can’t be compared. Take a look at me. I’m able to invite so many celebs to send a blessing video for my baby, while people feel disgusted when they see rubbish. This is where interpersonal interactions differ. It can’t be helped. I’m just that popular.“It is a shame that some blind women gave up on such a popular and wonderful man and ended up with a piece of garbage to live such a poor life instead. I don’t know what she was thinking.“I suppose she’s just snotty by nature.”His words were spoken for Phoebe to hear. But she could not even retort. ‘If you were capable, then make a blessing video like this then!’“What are you trying to show off?” Phoebe asked, her face darkening. “Didn’t you just spend money to invite celebrities to send their best wishes? You’re making it appear as if you have a wide connection. Bah.“Why didn’t you invite the people to the scene if it’s actually to send blessings? Isn’t it nice to
“Oh my gosh, he really got them to come.”“Who is he? It is really quite difficult to invite so many celebrities. It is not something that can be done solely on the basis of money.”Of course, it was not just money. Thomas would go to any length just to make Phoebe happy. The ten celebrities stepped onto the stage, bowed to the audience, and said in unison, “We are here today to deliver our blessings to Miss Phoebe Mars. Miss Mars, we wish you a very happy birthday!”The blessings gave Callum a big slap across the face. He felt hot in his cheeks, and despite the fact that he had not been physically hit, he felt as if he had been slapped ten times across the face.He was just talking about his blessings video earlier and chastised Thomas for being sour grapes.How about now?Thomas had directly invited all the ten hosts to the scene to wish Phoebe happy birthday in person. That was not possible with only money. Callum was just boasting about his extensive network of connec
429971##Chapter 1985Thomas drove Phoebe back to the House of Vistaria and then prepared the necessary things for the road trip following her request.According to Phoebe, the five elements that Thomas wanted were all located in Gabi Desert, which was located to the north of Celandine City.It was up to Thomas to decide what he would need to prepare for Gabi Desert.After returning to Food and Medicine Hall, Thomas and Pisces carefully discussed what they should prepare and made a detailed plan of the route they should take. Then, they asked their subordinates to make preparations.They carried the entire process out step-by-step.While their subordinates were making preparations, Pisces asked curiously, "Commander, I still haven't figured out why Declan would suddenly be willing to help us. Does he have any selfish motive?"Thomas replied, "There's definitely a selfish motive, but that's not the most important thing. Right now, our primary goal is to obtain Ancestral Water. Aft
After driving for a day and a night, they finally arrived at the edge of the desert.The further they went in, the fewer people there were."That’s enough. There will be no one if we drive further in." Phoebe said, "We'll find a hotel to stay here tonight, ask the locals where the exact location of Tree of Life is, and then we’ll set off again."They parked the car in front of a hotel.They called it a hotel, but it was actually a normal, three-storey small building.There were just three members in the family, including a mom and two children. The father had left his wife and children at home to go to work.The boss lady spoke in broken English and asked, "Three people, staying at the hotel?""Yes!" Phoebe replied. "We need two rooms for one night.""Three people, two rooms, the total cost for accommodation is twenty-one thousand dollars."What?Phoebe was shocked. Although they were quite wealthy, such a rate frightened them.Twenty-one thousand dollars?For one night?T
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
