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
“What would that mean?” Pisces replied while scratching his head. “What exactly do you mean when you say we can beat them at their own game? Well, I don’t think I’m capable of such superb ninja disguise skills. Even if I know how to, I would still have no idea where Nine Tails is.“Also, as you mentioned, Nine Tails has always been a lone wolf. If there were a rating of the most difficult people to assassinate in the world, Nine Tails would certainly be at the top of the list. Because there’s no way you’ll be able to approach them!”Pisces’s analysis was quite on point. If they wanted to get rid of Nine Tails, they needed to first figure out where they were and who they were, right?How could they kill Nine Tails when they did not even know if they were a man or a woman, or when or where they would appear?Was he trying to be funny when he said that?“You’ve misunderstood what I'm saying. I'm not trying to assassinate Nine Tails. I'm just waiting for it to happen,” Ryosuke clari
What could be more enjoyable than a great meal after a long day at work?There were also a bunch of chefs standing on the other side of the table.“Here, please introduce the dishes that you’ve made.”Thomas was shown the foods prepared by the cooks. There were French, Japanese, Italian, Chinese, and a variety of other cuisines available.Ordinary folks just did not have the ability to have so many delicious dishes at once. Thomas was also unusually ‘indulgent’ for a change.“All right, I’ll have a good time enjoying this.”Thomas cut a piece of steak, put it in his mouth and started chewing it. It was indeed delicious! “Commander, have a taste of this wine as well.”After saying that, Pisces approached Thomas. He placed a glass on the table, picked up the wine bottle, and slowly poured a glass of wine for Thomas.When the glass was half way filled, there was a sudden change in the situation!To everyone’s surprise, a dagger appeared in Pisces’s hands, and with lightning s
"Everyone stand still! Don't move!"Line up and leave one by one."The police first brought order to the situation, then began to verify their identities one by one, but they were unable to identify the disguised Nine Tails, no matter how they verified their identifications.Would they just let them swagger away under the crowd’s noses?The crowd gradually became irritated.They started to cause a ruckus and asked to be let out. They did not want to be locked up with a murderer, and they did not know which one of them was the murderer.Fear and crowding made the crowd feel extremely uncomfortable.In such a situation, everyone expressed their displeasure loudly and wanted to leave this unpleasant environment.But how could the police let them go?Nine Tails was among these people. These ordinary people, as well as security guards, bodyguards, and police, were not allowed to leave either.Because no one could tell whether the person who left was Nine Tails or not.But at the
The doctor said, "Oh, indeed I was wrong. What is inside your stomach is not a human head, because you did not kill me at all."Killed you?What was he talking about?Just when the crowd did not understand what the doctor was saying, they watched him peel a layer of skin from his face, revealing another face.It was Thomas!Has Thomas, who had his head chopped off, been resurrected?What the hell was going on here?The pregnant woman was also shocked and stammered, "You, how come you're not dead?""Are you surprised that I'm still alive?" Thomas sneered, "Nine Tails, your disguise was really great. To be honest, I didn't even realize that you were disguised as Pisces at first, until you produced that knife. Only then can I be sure of your identity."However, you never thought that this was actually our set-up trap."We have an old saying that says, to deal with someone is to give him his own medicine. Nine Tails, do you think you are the only one who knows how to disguise you
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
