The sky was getting a little dark at 5.00 pm. Elliot drank a glass of wine and ate some food, while he felt upset.He had not slept with a woman in a few days and was almost at his breaking point.However, when he turned around and looked at Rose, as well as Ruby, in the room, he forcefully held himself back again. He just needed to wait for one more day, then Fiora would help him escape the country. At that time, it would not be too late for him to indulge in his desires again.“I’ll wait for one more day!”He refilled his glass with wine another time. If he could get drunk, it would be quite good. He could get his mind off of things and suffer less.While he was about to pick up the wine glass, his subordinate ran inside in a hurry and excitedly said, “Dr. Katz, the goods are here!”The “goods” actually referred to gorgeous women who were provided to Elliot as entertainment.Elliot would be incredibly disrespectful toward these women. He did not treat them as human beings but
Elliot turned back and looked at Ruby and Rose, who were restrained by handcuffs as well as legcuffs. He knew that they would not be able to run away.Besides, he had used the grafting technique on both of them, and they had become Plant Humans. So what if someone saved them? They were going to die anyway. Perhaps Thomas was the only one in the world who could save them.The problem was, why would Thomas want to rescue his enemies? Furthermore, how could Thomas come up with a way to rescue them in such a short period?After Elliot thought about it, he chuckled and muttered, “I’m too cautious. These girls are already in such a state. Why should I still be worried about them?”He waved his hand in dismissal. “Let’s go! Let me enjoy those sweet girls.”Elliot’s subordinate had initially planned to go with him, but Elliot reached out to stop him. “Stay here and watch the girls for me. No matter who comes, don’t allow them to get any closer!” he said.His subordinate flashed him a b
About ten minutes later, the leeches were full.The witch kept all of the leeches before she took out some herbs and applied them to the girls’ backs. Then, she got Damian to prepare two bowls of water, in which she dissolved the medicine for the girls to drink.Next was the terrifying colorful centipede.When the witch took out the small bottle, Fiora already knew what was inside. After all, she had just seen it in her office not long ago, and it still haunted her until now.Fiora’s expression changed repeatedly, and she advised the girls, “Rose, Ruby, close your eyes.”The girls did not understand why, but they obediently did as they were told.If they did not close their eyes, Fiora was afraid that the girls would faint from shock the moment the centipede was brought out.Soon, the witch presented the centipede.As soon as the centipede appeared, forget Fiora, even Damian was shocked. It was his first time seeing such a huge centipede.Plus, the more colorful a centipede wa
Clearly, the voice was from Elliot, that damn bastard.He was done sleeping with the new girls, and he was afraid that something would happen, so he put his pants on and rushed back. After he returned, he realized that something had indeed happened.When Elliot saw the bodyguards standing at the door, he sensed that something was wrong.He pushed the bodyguards away before he promptly entered the room. Upon seeing how crowded the room was, he felt angry.Elliot pointed at Fiora as he said, “Ms. Vedastus, why have you sneaked into my room? Who allowed you to enter?”He was being backed into a corner, so he was losing his cool. He nearly forgot his place.Fiora did not mind it. The more Elliot lost his composure, the more it meant that he was panicking.She said, “I’m sorry, Dr. Katz. I missed my best friends so much, so I just dropped by to meet them before I had the chance to inform you.”She made it sound very polite.In reality, she had purposely “lured” Elliot away from his
Looking at Fiora and Damian’s departing silhouettes, Elliot lay on the floor, and his body shook in fear.How could he not be afraid?His conflict with Fiora did not happen overnight. One could say that Fiora had the capacity to kill him at any time if the situation permitted it, and she would not hesitate at all.Lord Vedastus and Hayden had protected him in the past, so he could do whatever he wanted without feeling any sense of crisis. But that was no longer possible now.Hayden was dead, and Lord Vedastus was muddle-headed.The real person in-charge of Art Trading Corporation had changed to Fiora. In this situation, how could Elliot win?Losing Rose and Ruby meant losing his protection.Elliot might not even be safe walking on the street.“Damn it!”He punched the floor fiercely before he gave himself a hard slap. Damn it! It was so fucked up! If he had not been so horny, he would not have ended up like this today.He had wondered why so many beautiful women were coincide
The next morning, Food and Medicine Hall opened for business, and Elliot was its first customer!Thomas had been putting in a lot of work for many days, and he finally had a chance to sleep and rest well. But, someone ran upstairs, knocked on the door, and shouted, “Boss, your senior’s here!”Senior?It was strange to hear that term, and Thomas did not even react immediately. Why would a senior of his suddenly appear?After he rubbed his eyes and woke up from his slumber, he finally had an idea of what it could be about. “Senior? Haha!” Thomas chuckled in resignation as he shook his head. He got out of bed, put on his clothes, and washed up. Then, he opened the door and walked downstairs.He saw his senior on the first floor.Thomas wore a sour expression as he sat down. He also remained silent and waited for Elliot to speak.Sure enough, Elliot chuckled and took the initiative to say, “Hey Thomas, how are you doing?”It was extremely awkward.He was clearly making convers
“Um…” Elliot was troubled. “You don’t believe in my determination?” he asked. Thomas nodded. “Don’t tell me I’m heartless. I’m a businessman. If I don’t act more heartlessly and carefully, I’m afraid that I’ll die miserably. Elliot Katz, at the end of the day, you’ve worked for Lord Vedastus for many years, and he valued you very much. Now, you’re here all of a sudden and telling me that you don’t want to work for Lord Vedastus. Instead, you want to work for me. I’m sorry, it’s hard for me to believe you. Who can assure me that you’re not an undercover agent sent by Lord Vedastus?”He backed Elliot into the corner when he said that.Nevertheless, it made sense. How could Thomas easily accept him?Elliot patted his chest and said, “Thomas, I sincerely want to do something great with you. Please trust me!”Do something great?Wow! He just wanted to find some support so that Fiora would not be able to kill him.Thomas was brilliant. Would he be fooled by his words?After Thomas r
If he wanted to obtain the confidential document, he had to build a good relationship with Fury.“Fury Morton?” Elliot closed his eyes and imagined Fury’s face.Fury was a man with a full beard and slightly perverted behavior.Fury was just as horny as Elliot. He used to flatter Elliot a lot because he wanted to take advantage of Elliot and sleep with young girls.Also, Fury loved to gamble.His salary was high, but it could never cover his gambling expenses. He had a huge debt. If he had not been capable in R&D, Lord Vedastus would have chased “trash” like him away.“Money and women.“It’s great that he wants those things. It’d be troublesome if he’s someone who doesn’t need anything.”Elliot snapped his fingers to call one of his subordinates, and he said, “Ask Fury to come over.”“Yes!” After his subordinate left, Fury arrived in ten minutes.For someone who was always busy with R&D, it was considered speedy for him to rush over in such a short time. He would rush over
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
