He wondered why Elliot wanted to obtain the Prescription of Golden Medicine.He asked, “Do you know where I can get the Prescription of Golden Medicine?”Fiora shook her head. “I don’t know. You'll have to investigate it.”“Okay.”After they spoke about everything, Thomas opened the door and got out of the car. Their conversation today had been simple and concise. At the same time, Thomas sensed that Fiora’s mind was occupied. He guessed that something terrible must have happened to her.Not long after Thomas got out of the car, a driver got into the car and drove Fiora away.Thomas returned to Food and Medicine Hall as well.He locked himself in his room before he took out his phone to call Adery, his old friend in the Southland District. As the current owner of Kindness Clinic, Adery, the Female Asclepius, would have some understanding about the Prescription of Golden Medicine.Once his call went through, Adery’s cold voice came from the other end of the line. “Mr. Mayo, I wo
After Fiora parted ways with Thomas, she returned directly to Art Trading Corporation. When she opened her office door and walked in, the scene that met her made her furious.She saw Elliot holding Ruby and Rose in each arm. He was so presumptuous and bold.The two women just lowered their heads.He was too arrogant!He did not just take Ruby and Rose away from her, but he even messed around with them in Fiora’s office. He was clearly insulting Fiora!Elliot did not even look afraid when he saw Fiora return. He chuckled and said, “Ms. Vedastus, I’m borrowing your office for a while. You don’t mind, right?”Fiora was livid.Ever since she became the vice chairman, she had never been insulted like that before.She clenched her fists tightly and stared at Elliot.If this had happened in the past, she would have grabbed her cup from the table, rushed over, and smashed it into him. But at this time, she chose to hold back.Fiora knew that she could not do anything to Elliot at pre
Meanwhile, Thomas still needed to do something before he departed.He went to the home of the district chief, Eric. He met up with the district chief, whose whereabouts were always a mystery, once again. Eric never exposed his real identity to any outsider, except Thomas.The two of them sat down face to face.Eric personally poured Thomas a cup of tea and said, “Mr. Mayo, thank you for everything you've done for Celandine City. Lord Vedastus has lost his position as the president, and there's a cure for Heart Eater now, so Art Trading Corporation's end is coming.”It was really something worth being happy about.However, there was no visible smile on Thomas’ face. He picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said, "Now's not the time to be happy yet. You should know that evil will rise again if you don’t eliminate it in its entirety. If we don’t get rid of Lord Vedastus completely, he and his gang will return.”Thomas held up two fingers. “Currently, we still have two major prob
Soon, someone came to receive them.Naturally, it was just the butler of the house, not Paul, the head of the family, or the Great Elder.The butler smiled faintly as he asked about the purpose of Thomas and Pisces’ visit. Then, he continued to smile and replied, “Oh, are you also here to ask for the Prescription of Golden Medicine?” The word “also” attracted Thomas’ attention.It looked like someone had gone there before them, and they should be people whom Lord Vedastus had sent as expected.Thomas could have been a little delayed after he had gone to meet up with Eric before this, hence Lord Vedastus’ people had arrived before him.Thomas quickly asked, “I wonder if the Prescription of Golden Medicine is still here.”The old butler smiled. “Of course, it is. The Prescription of Golden Medicine is treasured by the Seymour family, so no one can borrow it as they wish. Since your purpose is also the Prescription of Golden Medicine, please come with me.”Then, the butler brough
The two of them were the Seymour family's guests. If they made a fuss in the house, it would be inappropriate.So, both of them did not do anything for the time being. They just stared at each other as they thought of unique tactics to chase their rival away once they met the Seymour family.While they were brainstorming, a middle-age man walked into the living room. It was none other than Paul, the current head of the Seymour family!Thomas and Damian stood up and nodded at Paul.Paul nodded back. “Please, have a seat.”He sat in the main seat and said, “I've already heard from my butler about the purpose of your visit. You'd like to borrow the Seymour family's Prescription of Golden Medicine?”“Yes!” Damian was the first to answer. “Mr. Seymour, if you’re willing to lend me the Prescription of Golden Medicine, Art Trading Corporation is willing to pay no matter how much it costs. I can guarantee you that we’ll pay at least $100,000,000 right now!”They were generous, because t
Everyone knew that the Prescription of Golden Medicine was divided into two, Positive and Negative Prescriptions. The Negative Prescription was kept by Paul, while the Positive Prescription was kept by the family's Great Elder.There was nothing wrong with their method of handling the prescription.However, even the best laid plans could go astray. Last week, the Great Elder had suddenly fallen sick and unexpectedly passed away.He was old, so he had many illnesses. Many times, even the most advanced medical treatments could not provide a great prognosis.Over the years, the Great Elder had never encountered any problems during his physical examinations. Who would have expected him to suddenly pass away?His death was fine, but the whereabouts of the Positive Prescription had now become a mystery.Well, Paul knew the address, where the Positive Prescription was kept. The problem was, he did not know how to get it out! Eventually, Paul discussed it with the government, and they tr
However, Thomas never intended to acknowledge this senior of his.Thomas coldly said, “Bastard! From the moment Lord Vedastus recruited you, you've had nothing to do with Mr. Cole anymore. One day, I’ll help him to deal with you and get rid of a traitor like you, who works for the wicked!”Elliot hated it the most when others called him a “traitor.”“Thomas Mayo, mind your words!“You want to deal with me? Wow... Well, I want to deal with you!“Okay, let’s compete and see who comes on top.”Then, the video call ended.Damian stored the laptop away before he turned around and cast a glance at Thomas. He did not say anything.The atmosphere in the house was a little awkward, but Paul thought that it might be a good thing. Thomas and Elliot had such a serious conflict, and both of them had been holding back. When they started working on the inversion, both of them would try their best without slacking.In a situation like that, maybe one of them could complete the inversion and m
Over in Art Trading Corporation, Lord Vedastus was pacing back and forth in his office.He asked, “Buddy, is Elliot Katz any good?”Hayden chuckled. “Why are you still asking that? Elliot may misbehave, but there's no problem with his medical skills. Otherwise, Mr. Cole would not have taken him under his wing.”Lord Vedastus still felt worried as he said, “But didn’t Mr. Cole accept Thomas as his student too? They had the same teacher, but Thomas also learned a lot of medical skills when he was previously in the Southland District. I’m worried that Elliot might not be able to defeat Thomas.”Hayden waved his hand in dismissal. “Lord Vedastus, I think you're looking into it too much. No matter how gifted Thomas is, he just learned from Mr. Cole for a dozen days or so. There’s nothing to be afraid of. Elliot learned from Mr. Cole for several years, so there's no comparison between the two of them.”Since things had progressed to this point, Lord Vedastus was out of ideas. He could j
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
