Such a scary man was killed by Fiora?If Thomas had not said it himself, Pisces would never believe it. Even so, Pisces still found it difficult to accept.But after he calmed down and thought about it, if Hayden was really dead, it would be a delightful event for Thomas and others.Pisces said, “With Hayden gone, Lord Vedastus will lose a right-hand man. When we get rid of Elliot next, he won’t have any help at all. At that time, he will probably be at a loss and give up Celandine City completely. We can achieve what we promised Fiora as well.”Thomas agreed.While he spoke, a black car stopped in front of the door. The car door opened, and three people got out of it.The person who walked in the front was a woman. It was Phoebe.Blake was accompanying Phoebe at her side. There was also a man in a suit and hat standing by their sides. He looked like their bodyguard.They walked in, and Thomas immediately went up to greet them.“Hello, such rare guests. Please forgive me for n
Thomas did not expect Declan to say such things. Originally, everyone was hiding from the city’s luck whenever they made a move, as they were afraid of being stopped by the city’s luck.But Declan gave a completely different suggestion.The city’s luck would definitely be drawn out. Instead of being overcautious for fear of being attacked by the city’s luck, he should take the initiative to force the city’s luck out and get rid of him. In this way, he would not have any trouble in the future.In fact, instead of presenting this as a suggestion for Thomas, it was more like something Declan wanted to do.He almost could not stand the life of being controlled by the city’s luck, so he wanted to force the city’s luck out sooner. One should stand, and one should fall.He wanted to make it quick, so he would suffer less.This suggestion was quite bold, but it was very much in line with Thomas’s wish.He touched his nose and said, “Okay, let’s make it big! Hayden is dead, so the next t
A term suddenly appeared in his mind, and Elliot showed a strange smile. “Oh yeah, I still have those grafting techniques.”He immediately called Ruby and Rose over. The two women originally thought Elliot had called them over to vent his desires. But this time, Elliot did not assault them and was very respectful instead.This feeling was very strange.Elliot drank with the two of them, and the two of them soon passed out.Elliot rubbed his hands and said, “Great, let me test on these two girls first. Don’t you all want to kill me? Haha, let’s all die together. You guys want me to die, so I’ll pull a bunch of people to die together with me.”About one hour later, he completed two masterpieces.Elliot laughed. Then, he called Fiora and asked her to come over.Elliot was on bad terms with Fiora.When he asked Fiora to come over suddenly, there would definitely be a bad thing. Fiora did not go over straightaway but asked Damian to come along. She came to Elliot’s Debauch accompani
Elliot did not flinch and stood still as he took the slap in the face.After that, he laughed and said, “Are you still angry, Miss Vedastus? If you’re not, I’ll continue where I left off. I have transformed Ruby and Rose into Plant Humans, but rest assured that I have a solution to let them still live on as normal humans. However, if I die suddenly, then I’m sorry to say this, but both of their lives will be cut short as well.”Fiora had never expected him to do this!She would have never imagined that Elliot had such a trick up his sleeves. Fiora was anxious as she watched two of her best friends transform into Plant Humans. If she killed Elliot, then it would mean that two of her best friends would die as well. That could not happen!“Quit trying to frighten me. Thomas has learned how to graft from Mr. Cole, and he can definitely save Ruby and Rose,” Fiora snapped. Elliot chuckled. “Has Thomas learned grafting for a long time? Is he even capable of competing against me?
The sun had just risen, and Damian was the first customer in Food and Medicine Hall. Thomas had no idea why, but he was aware of Damian and Fiora's connection, so he brought him in right away and shut the door behind him.“What brings you here today?” Thomas asked. Damian took a deep breath and thought about how he might best explain the situation. His first sentence was, “The thing is, we ran into trouble when dealing with Elliot.”Of course, he would not have come to Thomas so early in the morning if he had not gotten into trouble. This was something Thomas had mentally prepared himself for.“Can you tell me a little bit more about the problem?” he asked.“That kid, Elliot, has really keen senses. The moment Hayden was busted, he realized that he may be the next target, so he used Ruby and Rose to compel Lord Vedastus to protect him,” Damian said, grimacing. Use?What did he mean by use?“Elliot used grafting to transform the both of them into Plant Humans,” Damian explai
After a round of discussion, everyone was dejected and expressed that they were powerless in this situation. How could others come up with a good plan when even Thomas was stumped? Everyone seemed resigned as they glanced at each other blankly.Just when everyone believed there was no way to solve this situation, suddenly, a new young trainee doctor raised their hand and said, “Uhm, I-I have something to say.”Thomas looked at him and said, “Speak.”“Uh, I was thinking there might be a way to help solve the situation right now,” the trainee said. “But it’s only a possibility, and I can’t guarantee that it’ll work.”“Just say it. I will decide it on my own, whether it will work or not,” Thomas replied calmly. The trainee gulped and said two words: “Black magic.”Black magic?Everyone looked at each other, as they did not quite understand what was going on.“I once went to visit Greco and was bitten by a type of insect that spread venom throughout my entire body, and there was
The mountains and rivers along the way were beautiful. The gloom between them largely disappeared because of it.Pisces could not help but wonder and asked, "Commander, what exactly is this Greco’s black magic?” He had only heard about it in the past, but in fact, he did not know exactly what this black magic was. Was it a medical skill or something else?Actually, Thomas did not know much about the Greco's black magic either. He only had a general impression of it.He said, "According to what I know, black magic is a type of witchcraft. Black magic can be defined in a variety of ways, according to pagan teachings. One of the uses is to have insects grow in stomachs. They serve as parasites that infest the human body through the use of vessels.”“The vessel refers to daily utensils like lunch boxes, rice bowls, or any other container to put food and drinks in. The idea behind this black magic is to have worms and insects infest the human stomach, and they are poisoned by these in
What reason did the tribe leader have to turn down such a good deal when there was a reward of one million dollars just for getting a glimpse of Greco's Black Magic? He immediately led the way for Thomas and Pisces.As they walked, the tribe leader said, "Greco’s Black Magic is not something everyone can master. Only the tribe’s witch possesses the 'skills'. Whenever someone in the tribe becomes ill, they usually do not go to the hospital. They will instead seek out the witch, who will then use the black magic to help them cure the disease. So in the tribe, the standing of the witch is very high and well-liked among the tribe, even moreso than me, the tribe leader."It was exactly as Thomas had anticipated.Black magic was definitely not used to harm people through witchcraft. It was also possible that the "spells" were performed to save people!In just a moment, they had arrived at the doorstep of the witch's house.The tribe leader stood still and shouted into the house, "Auntie
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
