Thomas smiled faintly at Kendrick and said, “Hello, Master Bardot.”“Um…” Kendrick did not know if he should answer.He felt terrible and wondered why he had to boast. Even if it had been for the box of gold bars, he should have asked them about whom he had to deal with, right?He had been blinded by money because he had not been able to see things clearly.Now, he, the imposter, had encountered Thomas, the real master. How could he wrap things up?The strange atmosphere in the room also gave Lord Vedastus a bad feeling. “Why? Do you know Thomas?” he said to Kendrick.Lord Vedastus thought Thomas and Kendrick knew each other, so Kendrick felt shocked and found it hard to fight.Kendrick was in a very awkward spot. He did not know how to answer Lord Vedastus’ question, and they were in a stalemate.In the end, Thomas had goosebumps all over his body. He waved his hand in dismissal and said to Lord Vedastus, “Lord Vedastus, is Master Kendrick Bardot the expert you invited?”Lo
Kendrick kept nodding and said affirmatively, “Yes, it was none other than Thomas who defeated the foreigner this morning. So, Lord Vedastus, I really can’t handle this job, for I can’t beat him.”Lord Vedastus almost fainted after hearing it. What the hell was this? Did he think this was a joke?“Damn it! Fuck you!”Lord Vedastus cursed. He had never encountered such a humiliating situation in his life. He had even pretentiously invited Thomas to come and said he would teach him a lesson, but Kendrick turned out to be a fraud.Kendrick had really deceived Lord Vedastus this time. This was no longer a matter of money or reputation. Lord Vedastus felt that he must have lost a few screws in his own head when he asked Kendrick for help.“Y-You…”Lord Vedastus was so angry that he could not even finish his sentence. He pointed at Thomas and wished he could charge over to beat him up.“Everyone, come!”After giving an order, many bodyguards, whom he arranged in advance, rushed in. E
With Thomas’s ability, these thugs could not defeat him at all. He defeated them easily just like he was chopping melons in the kitchen.Although Kendrick was also covered in injuries, there were no fatal injuries, so he would not be dying anytime soon.The final result was that Thomas was unscathed, and Kendrick only suffered a lot of minor injuries. Such a result was not what Lord Vedastus wanted.Lord Vedastus felt very uncomfortable seeing the thugs lying all over the floor.Though he had considered failing, he never imagined failing in this way!In his imagination, it was possible to fail, but it was also after Kendrick and Thomas had a fierce fight. Thomas would have a pyrrhic victory instead of standing there unscathed.This was simply a humiliation to Lord Vedastus.He was so angry that he stood there gasping for breath. Today’s incident taught him that he must never simply trust a charlatan like Kendrick in the future.Right then, a group of people came out.It was th
Kendrick was completely speechless when he saw Treyton acting shamelessly.Judging from Treyton’s manner, Thomas knew what kind of a person he was.There was no need to engage in an unnecessary argument with such a person.Treyton knew the truth. It was just that he stood firmly on Lord Vedastus’s side, so he had deliberately twisted the truth. They could not wake a person who was pretending to be asleep.Kendrick still wanted to defend himself, but Thomas stopped him. There was no need for that at all.Thomas said to Treyton, “What do you want to do then?”“What I want to do?” Treyton laughed and said, “You guys fought here and caused huge losses to our hotel. First of all, you have to compensate for the losses.“Secondly, you've injured so many people; it's impossible for you to avoid responsibility.”Treyton waved his hand, and more than a dozen security guards immediately stood up.“Thomas, Kendrick, you’re not going anywhere. As compensation for Lord Vedastus, you will ha
Treyton’s meaning was clear. Although Kendrick had “made a mistake”, he could still be saved.As long as Kendrick cut off Thomas’s hand, he would be considered as making up for his mistake. He did not need to be punished too harshly, just a little punishment would be enough.Besides, if Kenrick cut off Thomas’s hand, it would make Lord Vedastus feel better.Treyton was quite a people pleaser. He gave Kendrick an out and made Lord Vedastus less uncomfortable. It was killing two birds with one stone.As for Thomas, he would definitely kill him.“What do you think? Are you willing to do so?” Treyton stared at Kendrick and asked.Kendrick took a deep breath and turned to look at Thomas.He wanted to cut Thomas’s hand off, but he did not dare. This was because he had seen Thomas’s strength. Kendrick’s skill was no match for him at all.If Thomas resisted, Kendrick would be killed instantly.What should he do?Kendrick gulped. After weighing the pros and cons, he said, “Mr. Mayo, I
No matter how powerful you were and how big your personal army was, you should not fight against the authority.No matter how powerful Treyton was or how unscrupulous the hotel was, it amounted to nothing at all to Eric. In front of so many police officers with firearms, his lousy guns were not worth mentioning at all.If they really fought, they would be killed instantly.Treyton gulped. He forced a smile and said, “Oh my, it’s Mr. Wood. What brought you here? Someone, take Mr. Wood to the room for him to rest.”Swish. Swish. Before Treyton’s subordinates approached, those guns were aimed at Treyton’s head. He was so frightened that he did not dare to move.“No thanks,” Eric said viciously, “Treyton Bost, you sure are bold. How dare you set up a private court and call yourself a god? Do you really think your hotel is a lawless place, and no one can control it?”Treyton started to cold sweat. “No, how would dare I dare to say such crazy things? Mr. Wood, you misunderstood. It was
Both of them had spoken as such, so what else could Eric say?He waved his hand, and all the police officers left.“Since it’s your private matter, I really shouldn’t be involved. You guys should settle it in private. I’ll wait for you outside.”After speaking, Eric left.Only Thomas, Lord Vedastus, and Kendrick were left in the room. The scene seemed a little awkward.Kendrick threw the machete aside and knelt on the floor obediently.He was very anxious.Standing on Lord Vedastus’s side did not seem to be good, but following Thomas did not seem good either. Kendrick mulled hard over his options.However, Thomas did not even glance at him and said, “Kendrick, you can fuck off now. Remember that if you show up in Celandine City in the future, I guarantee that you won’t be leaving it.”Lord Vedastus also said, “Kendrick, you only have one hour. If you stay in Celandine City after an hour, I’ll kill you.”The two bigwigs spoke at the same time.To be honest, not many people co
When Thomas left the hotel, the sky was already dark. Pisces walked in a circle anxiously. When he saw Thomas, he immediately rushed up.“Commander, are you okay?” Pisces was really worried about Thomas. He had seen Lord Vedastus coming out first, so he was worried that Thomas had been cornered by Lord Vedastus again.Although he knew Lord Vedastus’s tricks and skills were not as awe-inspiring as Thomas’s, he still worried about him.Thomas smiled and said, “I’m fine. I’m just a little sad. The grudge between me and Lord Vedastus can’t be solved.”At this point, it was already impossible to let go of the rift between them.Eric walked over and said, “Mr. Mayo, I’m relieved to know you’re fine. Celandine City still needs you, so nothing untoward must happen to you.”Thomas asked, “Mr. Wood, I was surprised by your appearance. Why did you suddenly come to the hotel to help me? Did Pisces invite you here?”Eric shook his head. “That’s not it. I originally had an important matter to
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
