“To an advanced expert, it’s not hard to guard against a small circle. Not to mention, the speed and strength of Thomas’ punch aren’t weaker than that of Jones.”It looked like a very strong method, but there was a serious problem with it. He could only defend, not attack!It was as Jones said, Thomas was like a coward, hiding in the small circle he had drawn. He was not taking a single step out.Yes, Jones found it hard to attack, but how could Thomas attack back?Was their fight going to end in a stalemate?Then again, it would be great if they could end in a stalemate because it was at least better than losing.Jones frowned before he mocked, “Thomas, did you forget what you just said? You said that you wanted to deal with me in one minute, but now, you’re hiding like a tortoise in its shell. What could you use to deal with me at this point?”Bryson quickly said, “Mr. Mayo, please don’t be deceived! It doesn’t matter if it’s one minute or not, just ignore him! Don’t let him p
Caught?Everyone did not understand what Thomas meant. Only Thomas could feel Jones’ moves with his Breath.If Jones was a flying moth, then Thomas would be a ruthless spider.No matter how agile the moth was, once the spider released enough spider webs around the moth, the moth would soon meet its end.Now, the moth was caught in the spider web. What awaited him was to be eaten by the spider.Time was running out.There were a total of twelve seconds, and that might not even be enough to walk across the street before the traffic light turned red.When there were five seconds left, Thomas posed to attack.When there were four seconds left, Thomas suddenly rushed toward Jones.When it was down to three seconds, Jones avoided Thomas using Ghost Moves, but Thomas managed to keep up with Jones’ speed and movement, chasing after him continuously.At two seconds, Thomas punched Jones in the face.At the last second, Jones flew out of the arena!Bam! Everyone could hear a loud s
“We won!”Everyone cheered happily. They played the drums to celebrate and sang out loudly. Some people even took out fireworks and set them off. Everything looked so festive.This battle clearly distinguished who was better between Thomas and Jones.Jones was not weak, but he had encountered Thomas, who was stronger. That was his fate and misfortune.Thomas looked at the foreigners before the stage and shouted, “From now on, I want you to leave Celandine City and Summer Land! If I ever see you again, I’ll break your legs!”The foreigners were angry, but they dared not say anything. All of them lowered their heads, put Jones on a stretcher, and ran away gloomily.The battle made everyone proud and satisfied!Bryson rushed into the arena before he held Thomas and jumped nonstop. He was so happy like a kid who had won a fight. While everyone cheered, Thomas walked into the martial arts center.This time, Bryson no longer had a look of disdain. He ordered his people to prepare a
“Okay!”Then, Abner used the ointment with Thomas’ help. One had to admit that the effects of the ancestral ointment from Octopole was magical. His leg injury that initially could not be cured was recovering at a visible speed!“Your injury is recovering. Mr. Porter, if you continue to apply it, you’ll be able to walk freely again in less than a week.”Abner cried with joy. It was wonderful to “get back what he had lost.”Plus, he got back what he lost twice.Thomas had previously helped him to get rid of the venom in his body, and now, Thomas had helped him to cure his leg injury. Abner did not know how to repay his kindness.“Thomas, thank you!”“That sounds too formal, Mr. Porter. You’re my teacher’s close friend. So, I should also consider you as my mentor. This is just something I’m supposed to do.”The more Thomas said, the more touched Abner felt.The less Thomas wanted him to repay his kindness, the more uncomfortable Abner felt. It was obvious that he was a “good pers
In House of Vistaria, Dragon Claw grounded himself in his room. He did not want to see anyone and was deep in thought.Lord Vedastus and Declan sat in the living room, and they were surrounded by people who were supervising them.They watched Declan twenty-four hours a day and never left him.Declan was also used to seeing such a situation.However, Lord Vedastus was a little surprised. He picked up a teacup, took a sip, and said, “Declan, no matter what, you’re still Luck’s spokesperson. Don’t you feel upset with how things are?”“Over the past thousand years, hasn’t the Mars family always been under supervision?” Declan answered expressionlessly.Yeah, although it was called a “cooperation,” the Mars family had actually been controlled by Luck over the last thousand years.But Dragon Claw was acting more ruthlessly.Lord Vedastus continued to say, “This shouldn’t happen. Declan, I really don’t understand why you’d want to cooperate with Thomas? Isn’t it great to work with Luc
Lord Vedastus thought about it and found the suggestion doable.Even if he failed, he would just lose some money. After all, he had so much money that he could not finish spending it.“Okay, recruit the expert.”“Okay.”In less than an hour, they invited the expert there, but the person they invited was Kendrick, Bryson’s senior from Octopole.He was the unlucky man who had been eliminated by Jones’ punch in less than three seconds.It was the first time that Kendrick had visited such a luxurious venue, so he was not used to it. He looked slightly reserved even though he just stood there.Lord Vedastus looked at him and asked, “I heard that you fought a foreigner named Jones this morning?”Kendrick nodded. “Yes!”Lord Vedastus chuckled. Yes, this man, whose name was Kendrick, had defeated Jones.Although Kendrick did not seem very capable, there was a saying, “Never judge a book by its cover.”Lord Vedastus snapped his fingers, and someone immediately carried a box over. Onc
Thomas did not know about Lord Vedastus’ plan, but he did receive an invitation from the Business Alliance.It was sent by Peter.He was Lord Vedastus’ loyal lackey and always by Lord Vedastus’ side. Would anything come out of it when such a person sent an invitation to Thomas?He was most likely up to no good.Pisces immediately responded, “Lord Vedastus is probably trying to set you up, but he’s worried that you won’t attend whatever this is, so he’s asked Peter to invite you using the Business Alliance’s name. Commander, if it’s possible, please don’t attend this time.”Thomas said, “There’s always a solution to a problem. If I don’t go, how can I know what Lord Vedastus is planning? Besides, they’ve invited me in the Business Alliance’s name. As the president of the Business Alliance, I can’t avoid it. If I reject them now, there will be another invitation next time.”He had to go.But he would also arrange for some backup.To be safe, Pisces also made sure that many bodygu
Most of the time, they flattered you because they wanted you to get used to it, or give you a false sense of security before they took you down.Thomas knew this, so he did not seem amused.He waved his hand before he asked, “Peter, what kind of trap are you setting up this time?”Peter chuckled. “Oh no, Mr. Mayo, what are you talking about? Our Business Alliance has earned a great amount of money, so we’re holding this banquet to celebrate it! You’re the president, so obviously we need to let you have the main seat.”“Did such a good thing happen?”“Of course! Come, Mr. Mayo, please come over.”While Peter and the others flattered him, Thomas followed them to a resting lounge.The room was quite big, appearing very spacious and bright. But something about it was strange; there were many weapons in the room!There were knives, guns, batons, and rods.“Hmm?”Thomas looked unhappy. “What’s the meaning of this?”Peter immediately explained, “Hey, Mr. Mayo, please don’t misunder
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
