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
There were still many other missing components when it came to the Prescription of Golden Medicine. Even if they obtained the complete Prescription of Golden Medicine, it still would not work without the instructions provided by the Seymour family.Hence, the Seymour family was not worried about exposing the Prescription of Golden Medicine.The reason was, even if others had the prescription, it would still be useless without the instructions.Time passed slowly.One day was neither long nor short. Thomas, Damian, and Elliot locked themselves up in the houses during those twenty-four hours.Thomas and Elliot studied the materials, while Damian just slept.Finally, time was up.Everyone followed Paul to the two houses. The butler took out the keys and opened the doors to the houses one by one.“Mr. Mayo, Mr. Coull, how did things turn out for you?” Paul asked.Thomas rubbed his eyes and tiredly said, “I've completed the inversion.”Those four simple words surprised everyone, e
Paul was shocked by Thomas' words. He had initially brought Thomas to the room to expose the man's lie and fiercely criticize him. Yet, the current situation had put him in an awkward position.Paul stammered for a long time but still could form a full sentence. He was upset.In the end, he calmed down and purposely said, "Mr. Mayo, you must be joking. The Seymour family's Prescription of Golden Medicine is really missing, and there's no doubt about it. I’m not lying.”He was still putting on an act.Thomas smiled faintly and said, “Really? The Prescription of Golden Medicine is an important prescription. The Seymour family has protected it for centuries, and it's been fine. But after it was passed down to you, you lost it?“The story is the Great Elder kept the Positive Prescription, but he passed away unexpectedly, so he was unable to pass it down. Mr. Seymour, it's amazing how you managed to come up with such a ridiculous and funny reason.“On top of that, even though the Grea
Thomas shook his head and said, “Honestly, I don’t need the Prescription of Golden Medicine. Art Trading Corporation is the one that really wants it. I came to compete for the Prescription of Golden Medicine only because I didn’t want Art Trading Corporation to have it.”Paul asked, “If that’s the case, please act along with me and say that the Prescription of Golden Medicine is ruined. Then, Art Trading Corporation won’t get their hands on it, right? It’ll be good for you, me, and everyone else. Why don’t we do that?”Thomas shook his head. “If Art Trading Corporation can’t obtain the Prescription of Golden Medicine now, they'll come up with other bad ideas. The problem won't be completely solved. What I want to do is bring Art Trading Corporation's attention to me.”“What do you mean?” Paul did not understand.Thomas explained, “Mr. Seymour, you can announce that my inversion of the Positive Prescription is correct, and you can pretend to lend me the complete Prescription of Gold
Things were messed up within Art Trading Corporation.Lord Vedastus stared at a gloomy Elliot, and he really wanted to kick him! He had spent so much money on Elliot, but when it came time for him to play his role, he proved to be incapable. He actually lost to Thomas who had only studied under Mr. Cole for a dozen days.Was he trash?Luckily for him, Hayden stopped Lord Vedastus from hurting him in the end.Hayden said to Elliot, “Elliot Katz, what made you fail this time? You have to give us a reason.”A reason? Elliot wanted to think of a reason too, but he did not know why he had lost!He scratched his head. “I don’t get it. The Negative Prescription was actually incomplete, and it had a lot of flaws. The clues on the Positive Prescription were also disconnected. Under normal circumstances, it’d be impossible to inverse the Positive Prescription!”Indeed, Elliot was not the only one who had been unable to inverse it. In the past, up to one hundred famous doctors had tried,
Thomas reached out to pat the brocade box and whispered, “Things are only going to get more troublesome now.”“Oh? Commander, what troubles do you still have? Are you worried about not being able to protect the Prescription of Golden Medicine?”“It’s the other way round.” There was a flash in Thomas’ eyes. “What I'm worried about the most is how I should hand this brocade box to Lord Vedastus.”“Huh?”Pisces was completely dumbfounded. He did not understand what Thomas meant.He had finally gotten the Prescription of Golden Medicine, but he was not thinking about protecting it. Why did he still want to give it away? Besides, was it not easy to give it away? If he really wanted to do that, he could just proceed with it, right? What was so troubling about that?Just as Pisces was about to ask, something abruptly crossed his mind. He understood what Thomas meant.Pisces had been working with Thomas for many years, so he understood Thomas’ character quite well.He suddenly laughed
“Damian’s tactic was pretty good,” he said.Pisces went back to the driver's seat before he turned around and asked, “Did we lose the brocade box?”Thomas firmly answered, “We did.”“Tsk! We were with Damian just now, so he shouldn’t have had the chance to steal it. How did he do it?” Pisces did not understand.Thomas said, “There was someone else in his car. While we changed the tire for him, his accomplice took the chance to steal the brocade box.”Only then did Pisces realize it. “It's that simple. So, Commander, you got out of the car just now so that it would also be convenient for Damian’s accomplice to steal it?”Thomas nodded. “If I hadn’t gotten out of the car, they wouldn’t have been able to steal it.”The cooperation between Thomas and Pisces successfully allowed Damian to steal the brocade box. Funnily enough, Damian really thought that his plan had worked out.“Let’s go back,” Thomas said.“All right!” Pisces immediately started the car, but he quickly realized th
After Damian returned to Art Trading Corporation, Lord Vedastus immediately welcomed him with great enthusiasm. It did not look like he was a subordinate but a VIP instead.When Damian handed the brocade box to Lord Vedastus, Lord Vedastus happily rewarded him with $1,000,000 on the spot.“Well done! You did a great job!”Lord Vedastus caressed the brocade box nonstop, and he was so happy while holding it.He would have a chance to salvage the situation with the brocade box. He could even do it without Luck’s help!Following that, he called Elliot over.“This is the Prescription of Golden Medicine you asked for. I’ve gotten it for you.” Lord Vedastus placed the brocade box on the table.Elliot could not believe it as he walked over and opened the brocade box. It really was the Prescription of Golden Medicine and its instructions. He did not expect that the clever Thomas could also make a mistake!His plans had gone astray.Lord Vedastus asked, “Elliot, you claimed that you cou
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
