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
Traps and hidden weapons?This was a bit interesting. It was a field in which he had been involved.Thomas said, “We still don’t know the real purpose of Draw Claw’s contact with the Cadden family. It’s pointless to speculate as it will only scare us. Well, I’ll go to the Cadden family and see what’s going on tomorrow.”In Thomas’s opinion, the Cadden family was a neutral family, so it was impossible for them to be involved in the mess.Thomas could also invite Godfrey if Dragon Claw had the power to do so.It was still necessary to have a look and know what was going on.After the discussion was over, Thomas and Pisces left the scene, while Eric stayed to deal with the problem and completely sealed the hotel.The night passed quickly.The next morning, Pisces drove Thomas to the Cadden family after he finished washing up and had breakfast.Thomas came to the reception hall of the Cadden family after the butler received him, and he met Godfrey, the head of the Cadden family.
Godfrey finally revealed his true colors. He was not some kind of saint, and he knew how to manipulate one person to suppress another. He mentioned the one hundred million dollars because he wanted to suppress Thomas. Godfrey would maybe switch sides and help him instead if he could take a hundred million dollars out for him. Otherwise, Thomas could show himself out the door.Admittedly, one should not judge a book by its cover. Godfrey was a typical example of a profiteer who “knew how to run a business”.Thomas was not dumb, and he understood what Godfrey meant, so he pulled out a card and placed it on the table. “Please accept this card, Godfrey. I will cash in two hundred million in it later.”“Huh? Why are you giving me two hundred million dollars?” Godfrey was taken aback. “I just needed a hundred million dollars to refuse working for Dragon Claw.” “Because I know Dragon Claw will definitely bump up the price to ask for your help.” With a grin, Thomas replied, “I just
Thomas’s line of sight was drawn in the direction of Pisces’s pointing finger, and he spotted Dragon Claw arguing with a street vendor. A mom stood beside them, hugging her daughter. Both of them were trembling in fear.Huh?The first thought that popped in Thomas’s mind was that Dragon Claw was being a bully again. Also, the location was quite sensitive. Thomas’s Food and Medicine Hall was only two hundred meters away. Was Dragon Claw so bored that he came to pick a fight at Thomas’s domain?The more he thought about it, the stranger it became.He then pushed open the car door, exited the car, and approached the crowd to find out what was going on.As he neared the location, he could hear Dragon Claw shouting. “Is this how you do business? Do they have to buy it once they’ve worn it? Aren’t you forcing them to buy it?”“What did you mean when you said I was pressuring them? Her daughter tried on the clothing but refused to buy them. Is it still possible for me to sell it? Are
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
