However, Elliot stayed with the Prescription of Golden Medicine all the time, and guards were protecting him. Others could not go near him, so Fiora could not do anything despite her intentions.“Forget it. I should go and discuss it with Thomas first.”Fiora looked totally different when she was “fully armored.” She met Thomas at 10.00 pm, and this time, they met in a cinema.Only the two of them were in Hall Number 3. People who did not know them even thought that they were a couple.They did not sit together. Instead, one was sitting in the front row, while the other one was sitting in the back row.They pretended as though they were watching the movie, but in reality, they were secretly communicating.Thomas was the first to say, “Ms. Vedastus, haven’t you been looking for me too frequently as of late? Aren’t you afraid of being exposed?”Fiora sarcastically said, “If you had done your job better, would I have to come to you so frequently?”She was trying to say that they g
After she calmed down, she lowered her voice and asked, “So, the Prescription of Golden Medicine is fake?”Thomas’ answer was interesting. “I can’t tell you.”“So, everything’s part of your plan? Does it include what might happen next?” Fiora asked again.Thomas did not answer her and remained silent once more.Fiora felt angry. She hated men like that the most. If she had not cooperated with him because of Lord Vedastus, she would not have even thought about talking to him.In the end, she said, “Can you tell me whether Elliot will be able to upgrade Heart Eater?”This time, Thomas gave a firm answer. “Don’t worry, Elliot won’t be able to upgrade Heart Eater. If he tries to make it with the Prescription of Golden Medicine, he’ll just upgrade it to a better juice.”Fiora felt at ease when she heard that answer.She got up and muttered, “This is such a terrible movie. I’m not watching it.”After she spoke, she immediately left the cinema.Since she had received the answer she
The next morning, Benson, the real estate agent, woke up. After he washed up, he entered his dining room in loose pajamas.His maid had already prepared breakfast for him. There was bread, milk, and a boiled egg.Benson ate the bread and drank the milk, enjoying them very much.Ever since he cured the Heart Eater poison in his body, he had felt more relaxed as if he had regained his youth. Free days where he was not controlled by others were truly comfortable.Naturally, his company was also improving.After Thomas became the president, he directly tore Art Trading Corporation apart, and all the companies in the Business Alliance also shared the benefits.Art Trading Corporation used to take advantage of them in the past, and now, the situation had totally been reversed. It was finally their turn to take advantage of Art Trading Corporation!Benson’s body had recovered, and his company had gotten better. Recently, Benson had been happy and full of pride!While he happily ate hi
Benson looked at Lord Vedastus again and asked, “What did you poison me with this time?”Lord Vedastus chuckled. “What kind of poison is this? It’s the one you’re most familiar with, of course.”When Benson heard that, he immediately took off his shirt and looked at his skin. Indeed, the black markings had started to appear again. His cured body had been poisoned again.But… Why should he be afraid of this poison?Benson chuckled and said, “Lord Vedastus, are you dumb? Thomas has already made an antidote for Heart Eater, but you’re still poisoning me with it? I just have to get the antidote from Thomas, and the poison will easily be cured. Your strategy is useless.”To answer Benson’s question, Lord Vedastus said, “Obviously I won’t fall into the same trap twice. I’m just going to tell you the truth. This is a new and upgraded Heart Eater. It’s more effective than the previous one, so even Thomas won’t be able to make an antidote.”“What?” Benson was instantly taken aback.He
Lord Vedastus feared almost nobody in this world. Even when he faced Luck, he never felt frightened.Yet, for some reason, when he heard that it was a call from Thomas, he felt flustered, even a little frightened. He could feel that something horrible was going to happen.Maybe it was because Thomas had won against Lord Vedastus too many times and nearly taken him out.Hayden, on the other hand, looked much calmer. He said, “Lord Vedastus, don’t worry. We have the new Heart Eater now. Even God won't be able to do anything about it, let alone the insignificant Thomas.”That was true.Lord Vedastus felt slightly relieved. He did not have to frighten himself like that.They just quietly watched as Benson talked on the phone.Benson did not speak. He silently listened to Thomas who spoke to him on the other end of the line. Thomas lowered the volume of his voice, and Benson purposely covered his phone with his hand so that no one else could hear what Thomas was saying exactly.Lord
Benson waved his hand in dismissal. “Hey, how can you say that? I have faith in your reputation, Lord Vedastus. You definitely made the new Heart Eater, but there’s something you don’t know.”Lord Vedastus was puzzled as he asked, “What is it?”Benson tapped the glass with his hand and mysteriously said, “What you don’t know is that this new Heart Eater’s actually not a poison, but a… health supplement.”Health supplement?The term pissed Lord Vedastus off.He did not know whether to cry or laugh. “Health supplement? Did you just say that my newly developed Heart Eater is a health supplement? Wow! Benson, is there something wrong with your brain?” he said.At that moment, Benson took off his pajamas and showed them his skin.The black markings on his skin were slowly disappearing. More magically, the part of his skin, where the black markings had disappeared, became smoother and silkier!It made Benson look like a delicate girl instead of a masculine man.That was truly unexpe
The first thing Lord Vedastus did after he went back to Art Trading Corporation was run into Elliot’s room. He dragged Elliot out of the Debauch, raised his hand, and slapped him!Elliot was very confused. He was still holding a beautiful woman, whom he had been bragging to just moments ago. He told her that he had done a great thing, so Lord Vedastus would give him another reward.However, the so-called reward turned out to be a big slap.“Hold on, Lord Vedastus, what are you doing?” Elliot rubbed his face with his hand. It was a brutal slap, which turned his cheek red.Lord Vedastus pointed at Elliot’s nose with his finger and said, “Why are you asking me? Don't you know what I’m doing?”Elliot looked stunned. “No! Please clarify, Lord Vedastus.”“Okay, I’ll clarify it to you! You said the new Heart Eater would be strong since you upgraded it with the original as a base. You even bragged about its many special effects.”Elliot nodded. “Yes, is there a problem with it? Did any
Although it sounded bad, it was the truth.Lord Vedastus did not say anything else. He just turned around and left. His silhouette showed his disappointment and gloom.Fiora saw the situation.Unlike the others, she was overjoyed. If this went on, she believed that Art Trading Corporation would fall apart soon. When that time came, she could advise Lord Vedastus to leave Celandine City.Fiora already prepared a house and tickets overseas. They could leave at any time, and they would not need to worry about their lives.Why did he need to continue his painful struggle in this abyss for power?…… Meanwhile, in Eric’s house…Thomas and Eric sat across from each other while they played chess.Eric flashed Thomas a smile and was convinced by skills. “Mr. Mayo, you've played a good game. You launched a precise attack, and it worked efficiently. After this attack, I guess Lord Vedastus won't be able to bear it any longer despite his strong mental fortitude.”If you wanted to destro
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
