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
"So it's all a scheme set up by you guys."Nine Tails was not the only being in this world who can disguise themself. Others could as well. Someone like Ryosuke Kondo was decent in the art of disguise, in his own right.With the help of Ryosuke Kondo, Thomas successfully disguised himself as a doctor and even fooled Nine Tails' eyes.It would have been difficult to catch Nine Tails without Ryosuke Kondo.In fact, the most challenging part of this scheme was figuring out how to deceive Nine Tails. Nine Tails was an expert at disguise. It was easy to envision how tough it would be to deceive them through their own craft.On the other hand, in order to achieve the aim, Thomas sought out a lot of people to play out a chaotic scene, and he also added a special drug to the air to dull people's sense of sight and smell.Only a combination of all this managed to fool Nine Tails.Furthermore, a tracker was installed on that leather ball. So, no matter how well Nine Tails disguised themse
Phew.Ryosuke crouched and placed his hands on the handle of the sword. He was ready to take action anytime.The quick draw technique was a technique that could end a fight in a short moment.But at that moment, Nine Tails used a technique which was only used by skunks—by farting to escape!Were they not a fox?Why were they using the techniques of skunks?Their fart stank so much that it was ridiculous. The whole room was engulfed by a dark yellow fog. It was so disgusting that anyone who got a whiff of it would definitely throw up.The crowd stepped back further.It was Thomas’s very first time meeting such an opponent. To be honest, he had never seen such an attack. It disgusted him from the inside out.A scream came out from the midst of the room at that moment.Ryosuke!He slowly emerged before the crowd as he gently placed the sword back into the scabbard. "How juvenile. It’s not even worthy of mention.”Ryosuke had still won.Although the fart tactic was disgusting,
Nine Tails was utterly confused. All this while, they were the one who made a fool out of others, but today, they were the victim.The thought of it alone made them angry.Ryosuke held the handle of his sword as he said, “Because this is a trap that has been laid out in advance for you! I have been waiting for you to fall into the trap, you smelly fox.”In a split second, he lifted up his sword and slashed down, taking Nine Tails’ life on the spot.The quick draw technique!Nine Tails died, not even have an inkling of what was happening or where it went wrong.It was rather simple. The Ryosuke who entered the patient ward was actually someone else in disguise. It was to lure Nine Tails’ fart tactic out on purpose.In order to deal with the Igas, Ryosuke had long identified their abilities and knew what they would do when cornered and desperate.Therefore, he had been prepared in advance.The fake Ryosuke was arranged to challenge Nine Tails as a feint.They were waiting to ca
In the evening, at the seaside villa.Kazuo sat on the sofa in the living room. On the table was a brand-new box, which contained Nine Tails’ head.Kazuo was unable to remain calm this time.His hands were shaking, not out of fear, but out of anger.For this particular mission, he had lost his capable men again and again. Even the most capable among them, Nine Tails, was no longer alive. The loss of Nine Tails was unbearable. But what angered him the most was not losing capable men, but being unable to accomplish the mission!It was all in vain.If he was to abort the mission and return now, he would not be getting a single cent. On top of that, his men’s sacrifice would be in vain.Just the thought of it caused him to be at a loss.Excluding Kazuo, four out of five of the most capable men among the Iga Ninjas were dead. Nine Tails, Rock Field, Sea Turtle, and Water Snake had all been beheaded.Who exactly was Thomas? Was he not too powerful?If you had to know, even if he we
Kazuo had pride in his feat of mentoring such an excellent disciple. Although Sky Dog might not be a match for Ryosuke, that would only be due to Sky Dog being too young and inexperienced.Sky Dog would definitely outperform him in due time.But in the meantime, something that everyone was trying to avoid had happened.Kazuo was an extremely cruel man. He was willing to do anything on the evil end in order to gain benefits for himself.The same applied back then when he slaughtered quite a few Igas.Sky Dog, on the other hand, was a kind-hearted man. He hated Kazuo’s way of dealing with things from the bottom of his heart. But Kazuo was his savior, the one who taught him ninja skills, and the one who raised him. Hence, he treated him just like how a son would treat his father. This was also the reason why Sky Dog had never gone against him and had been doing whatever that he was told, even though it was against his conscience, in order to pay him back.But that particular peace b
Since he was going to be his enemy anyway, then he should be dealt with as well.The drugs would be the cause of Sky Dog’s death in three days' time. Kazuo had planned everything in detail. First of all, he would wait till Sky Dog assassinated Thomas. Then, he would hide for three days, waiting for the poison to kill Sky Dog before coming out from hiding. With this plan, both Thomas and Sky Dog would be dealt with at the same time.What a perfect plan.“Hmph.“Since all of you want to go against me.“Then none of you shall be left alive!”He headed towards the door and gave his men a call. After the call went through, he said, “Tell Sky Dog to see me right now.”In less than twenty minutes, a masked man appeared in front of Kazuo.It was Sky Dog!Kazuo sighed as he put up a pained expression and said, “I believe you have heard of what happened on my end, right?”Sky Dog replied calmly, “Words have reached my ears. The four of them are now dead.”“You are right. This Thomas
In House of Vistaria, Dragon Head and Dragon Scale drank tea as they listened to their subordinate’s report on the latest information. After Dragon Head listened to it, he subconsciously broke into a meaningful, faint smile.Meanwhile, Dragon Scale became furious and yelled, “Kazuo Yamamoto is such a huge piece of trash! Four of his subordinates were killed. Dragon Head, you spent $500,000,000 to invite such trash over here to help us. Is he really reliable?”Dragon Head did not mind her question.He replied, “Before I invited Kazuo, I already conducted a detailed investigation on him. Honestly, I didn’t put any hope on his four subordinates killing Thomas.”“Huh?” Dragon Scale was confused as she asked, “But why did you still spend so much money to invite him here?”Dragon Head explained, “The truth is, I invited him here because I have my eye on his last subordinate, Sky Dog! He’s a genius teen who’s absolutely capable and even better than Kazuo. Getting Sky Dog to take Thomas d
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
