Early in the morning, Dragon Head sent someone to post bail in the police station and brought Dragon Scale back to House of Vistaria.After Dragon Scale returned, she felt too ashamed to see anyone. She kept lowering her head, and she could not wait to dig a hole to bury herself.One could call it a very serious incident, but it did not seem that way since Dragon Scale was not injured. However, if one said that it was not a serious incident, one would also be wrong because Dragon Scale was truly hurt inside.It was something that people recognized as not harmful but extremely insulting.Dragon Head poured her a cup of tea and placed it on the table. He wanted to speak but he did not know what to say. After all, he was a man, and it was really uncomfortable to talk about this with Dragon Scale.Dragon Scale covered herself tightly with her coat, and her eyes were red.No matter how she thought about it, the famous nightclub lady in Celandine City was actually a man! Was that not r
Subsequently, Dragon Head got close to Dragon Claw and whispered into her ears.Dragon Scale’s bitterness slowly disappeared from her face, and she gradually smiled because she heard an extremely great idea from Dragon Head. It would make Dragon Claw and Thomas suffer greatly.While they discussed, the door was opened, and Declan walked inside.Dragon Scale immediately wore an angry expression and yelled, “Declan Mars, give me an explanation!”“Explanation? What explanation?”“Are you still putting on an act now? Why is Dragon Claw with Thomas?”“Oh, you found out? I came back because I wanted to tell you about that,” Declan awkwardly said. “I initially wanted to kill Dragon Claw, but Thomas got word of it from somewhere and actually sent some people to grab Dragon Claw away.”His ability to lie was amazing. His face did not turn red, and he looked calm. It was so easy for him to lie.Dragon Scale and Dragon Head naturally did not believe him.But they did not plan to refute h
He had an irreconcilable grudge against Dragon Scale. Why would he care about that?The most worrying thing at that moment was how much stronger would Dragon Scale return with vengeance.Right then, Pisces ran inside and said, “Commander, we received a message from Declan just now. Please take a look.”Pisces tapped open an email and handed it to Thomas.After Thomas read the contents of the email, his expression changed repeatedly.“What’s wrong? Has Dragon Scale begun her extreme revenge?” Dragon Claw asked.“You guessed right.”Thomas gave Dragon Claw a look at the email, and Dragon Claw nearly fainted from anger after he read the first few sentences.She wanted to feed Heron’s dead body to the dogs as an act of revenge on Dragon Claw?Was she still a human?“No, I have to take Heron’s body back!” Dragon Claw wanted to get up.Thomas instantly pressed Dragon Claw down and said, “Don’t you see it? They’re showing their flaws on purpose and exposing the message to us throug
On the second-floor balcony, Dragon Scale walked out and looked down at Thomas and the group who were trapped. She shook her finger and said, “Why are you so stupid? How can you be deceived by such a simple plan? Tsk! This isn’t interesting at all!”Thomas raised his head and stared at Dragon Scale. “You want to make things interesting? Okay, I’ll do it for you,” he said coldly.As soon as he spoke, he heard some roaring sounds.Everyone raised their heads and took a look. Oh, my! Four helicopters flew over in the sky, and ropes dropped down from the east, west, south, and north. The ropes hooked onto the roof of the training facility.Then, the four helicopters flew upward, and within a few seconds, the whole roof was lifted!How violent!Thomas knew that his rivals had set up a trap, so he had arranged for the helicopters to come to his rescue.When Dragon Scale saw the helicopters, she was shocked.She turned around, looked at Thomas on the ground, and growled. “Do you think
Dragon Claw was the first to rush over. He raised his hand and fired a shot to kill a mad dog that was chomping on its meal.Other dogs were also killed on the spot one by one.Even so, Heron’s body could not be restored anymore.“Heron!”Dragon Claw knelt on the ground. He stared at the body that had been ripped into pieces and felt extremely heartbroken.He swore that he would risk his life to rip Dragon Scale into pieces in order to vent his hatred!Right then, some poisonous darts suddenly flew out from the dark side of the room. They were thrown in the direction of Dragon Claw’s neck, and if he was hit, he would undoubtedly die.Thomas responded not a moment too soon, immediately dragging Dragon Claw away.Subsequently, Thomas raised his hand and swung a dagger at Dragon Scale on the second floor. That forced her to take a few steps back.Several helicopters in the sky flew back again, and Dragon Scale sensed that something was afoot. She could not get involved with Thoma
Dragon Scale picked up the wine glass and toasted to Dragon Head.She had to admit it.Dragon Head had calculated everything, including the strategies Thomas might take and measures for any changes on the spot. Dragon Head had provided her with all the complimentary plans from the beginning.It really looked like he had everything under control.Dragon Scale gave him a big thumbs-up. “You’re Albert Einstein to me!”Dragon Head chuckled. “Your flattery is too much.”“No, not at all,” Dragon Scale said. “As you predicted, Thomas launched a fast attack on us. Besides, you knew that this ambush wouldn't cause any practical harm to Thomas. Therefore, we mainly did it to insult and torture them. They prevailed over us, but we fought back. Haha! We’re all even now!”Dragon Head took a bite of the food and said, “We can also learn something from this ambush. We shouldn't underestimate Thomas.”“Oh? Why do you say so?” Dragon Scale actually did not care about Thomas. Should they really
Declan suppressed his sadness and forced a smile. Then he walked over, picked up the wine glass, and drank with them.The three of them already knew what each was thinking, but all of them did not say a word. The feeling of almost exposing the truth was very strange.After Declan drank a few glasses, he came up with an excuse to go back and rest.Looking at his gloomy departing silhouette, Dragon Scale smiled and said, “Damn that traitor! One day I’ll feed his body to the dogs!”Dragon Head said, “This is nothing. It’s critical that we deal with Thomas first.”Dragon Scale asked, “What’s the next plan? We've struck a huge blow to Thomas. Shouldn’t we take the opportunity to attack more?”Dragon Head nodded. “I was thinking about the same thing. After this, I’ll bring you to see someone.”“Who is it?”“You’ll know when you get there.”Driven by her curiosity, Dragon Scale immediately finished her food and got into Dragon Head’s car. They rushed to a villa by the sea in Celandin
The person was strangely skilled.At that moment, Dragon Scale skeptically said, “Based on our investigation, Thomas’ martial art skills are pretty strong. Mr. Yamamoto, please be careful.”She actually meant, “Don’t underestimate our enemy. You better send more people to support Rock.”However, Kazuo replied with disdain. “I have my own measures!”His respect for her was really lacking.Dragon Scale wanted to speak further, but Dragon Head stopped her.He smoothed things over by saying, “I trust your judgment, Mr. Yamamoto. In that case, I’ll go back and await your good news.”“Very well, you may leave.”Dragon Head led Dragon Scale out of the room and politely closed the door without any arrogance.“Why were you so polite to the old man? Also, is it enough for him to just send one subordinate to deal with Thomas?” Dragon Scale asked unhappily after they left the villa.Dragon Head said, “You and I have seen Rock’s ability. I’m confident in his ability to assassinate Thomas.
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
