In a hotel near Caring Hospital, three men were sitting together. It was Rock Field, Water Snake, and Sea Turtle.Rock Field could obtain the enemy’s information through the gecko. Even Kazuo could not compete with him in regards of this ninja skill. Only he could do this in the entire ninja world.When he had gathered Thomas’s information before, everything was smooth. However, he lost a gecko for an unknown reason just now.Losing a gecko meant that it had died.He could not get back the last message.Water Snake said, “Is it possible that Thomas discovered it?”Rock Field shook his head and said, “It’s impossible. My gecko is almost identical to an ordinary gecko. Even an insider can’t tell the difference, let alone a layman like Thomas. Unless there is an expert ninja helping him. Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to discover my ninja skills with his abilities.”He had that confidence as it was the truth.Without the help of others, Thomas would never have imagined
Sea Turtle asked, “Water Snake, who should take care of him?”Water Snake sneered. “I hate this kind of hypocrite with a superficially kind face. Seeing him sends goosebumps all over my body. I’m going to cut him into pieces.”As he said, Water Snake rushed towards Virgo and punched his face.Virgo caught Water Snake’s fist with one palm, but unexpectedly, a poisonous snake came out of Water Snake’s sleeve and snapped at Virgo’s wrist.Virgo acted fast and retracted his hand. If he was a little late, he would probably be bitten by the poisonous snake.Water Snake licked his lips and said with a smile, “You’re quite good. An ordinary person will not be able to retract his hand, so he will die.”A murderous intention appeared on Virgo’s face.Buddhas were also capable of anger!“You’re too vicious! Today, I must commit the sin of murder!”Water Snake was amused. “Commit the sin of murder? Do you think you can do it?”The two fought again. Water Snake’s movements were just like
Before Water Snake could react, his fists completely turned into ashes like those poisonous snakes.Virgo’s punch directly pierced Water Snake’s heart, causing him to die on the spot.Water Snake did not even have time to scream before he lost his life and stopped breathing. It was not until the moment before his death when he realized the difference in strength between himself and Virgo.Gemini, who was not far away, snorted coldly. “It’s my turn now.”Sea Turtle was startled. He knew the strength of Water Snake. If the strength of Gemini and Virgo were not much different, then he had no chance of winning.Before he could figure out how to deal with it, Gemini attacked him.Then…Sea Turtle was uninjured!He giggled at Gemini and said cheerfully, “I forgot to tell you. My name is Sea Turtle. I don’t have any other ability. The only ability I have is hard skin! Even a machete can’t cut through my flesh, let alone your bare hands.”This was his ninja skill, his unique ability.
After Rock Field entered the room, he closed the door, as he was afraid that Gemini and Virgo would interfere with him.Then, he walked toward the bed.But before he could walk a few steps, all the lights in the room turned on at once. A man was sitting on a chair in the room. He was holding a teacup in one hand and a cigarette in the other, looking very comfortable.Rock Field immediately recognized him. The man who sat in front of him was none other than Thomas!How would this happen?Rock Field could not understand. Why would Thomas sit there for no reason? It was as if he had seen all this coming.It was impossible. He could not possibly know about it.Besides, Rock Field’s knock-out smoke was specially made by Iga Ninjas. It was impossible for him to be fine after smelling it.He was very confused. There were too many things he could not figure out.Thomas chuckled and said, “Are you perhaps wondering, why didn’t I pass out from the smoke? Why am I not sleeping at night?
The penny dropped.According to the information, Thomas was a very good doctor who had created a lot of medical miracles. It was indeed possible for him to remove the poison.Thomas helped Ryosuke, so Ryosuke helped Thomas in turn?In fact, the two of them already shared the same enemy. Even if they did not help each other, it was only reasonable for them to join hands as well.Rock Field, who put the puzzle pieces together, understood.He sneered and said, “As a Japanese, you are joining hands with Summer Land’s people to deal with your own people. Ryosuke Kondo, you’re a national disgrace!”Ryosuke said disdainfully, “Do you think that it is honorable to be treacherous and kill the entire Koka clan? Is it honorable to leave your hometown and come to Celandine City to assassinate a Summer Land’s citizen for the sake of money? Rock Field, you and Kazuo are the real national disgrace!”It was useless to speak any further.Rock Field aimed the katana at Ryosuke. “You have always
The next morning, at a seaside villa.Kazuo sat in the room and wiped the katana over and over again. He seemed very calm on the surface, but he was a little uneasy.The three subordinates who were sent out still had not come back yet.Rock Field was a very punctual person, so he never made such a mistake.Did an accident happen?Kazuo did not dare to overthink, and he did not want to overthink it.After the sun fully rose, a servant came over and said, “Mr. Yamamoto, someone sent three brocade boxes over.”Three brocade boxes?What were those?“Who sent it?” Kazuo asked.The servant replied, “According to the person who sent the brocade boxes, it seems to be Thomas Mayo from the Food and Medicine Hall.”Thomas Mayo?Kazuo stood up immediately. “Go and bring in the three brocade boxes.”“Understood.”After a while, three brocade boxes were placed on the table in front of Kazuo next to each other.Those who were clueless would think they were three valuable presents.Kaz
The other three had died, so it was Nine Tails’s turn to make a move.Right then, a woman with an enchanting figure walked over and asked with a smile, “Clan leader, are you going to order me to complete this mission?”Kazuo was upset and said, “Put away your smile. I am already feeling particularly murderous.”Nine Tails pouted. She shook her body and instantly turned into a middle-aged man with bloodshot eyes. The man looked extremely sad, as if his wife and children had just died.“Clan leader, how can I help you?The tone of speech also changed from frivolous to sad.This was Nine Tails’s ninja skill.Nine Tails with Thousand Faces!Nine Tails’s skill was not the strongest, but they had a powerful ninja skill that no one else had. It was a face-changing skill.They could be male or female in any shape.They could imitate any person and can be ninety-nine percent similar to the other person. People could not tell the difference without a magnifying glass under the sun.It
“Why would it be impossible?”“Because Nine Tails’ ninja skills and personality indicate that they will always finish their mission on their own.”Ryosuke then proceeded to give a thorough introduction to Nine Tails.Actually, Ryosuke did not know much about Nine Tails. In fact, even Kazuo was not an expert in this area.No one in this world even knew of Nine Tails' gender.All they knew was that they were a terrifying ninja that could transform their appearance, body type, and disguise as another person at whim. “What’s so impressive about that?” Pisces scoffed after hearing that. “Aren't they just pretending to be someone else? Even if they disguise themselves as the commander, I can still tell who's the real one with just one glance.”Ryosuke chuckled. “Okay, you can tell the real Thomas from the fake one, but what if they disguised themselves as one of the chefs at Food and Medicine Hall? Or a doctor from Caring Hospital? Or me?“Are you still able to recognize them with
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
