Dragon Scale’s words rained on the customers’ parade. All of them were shocked.At that moment, Thomas stepped out. He also held a microphone and said to the people there, “Everyone, please rest assured. The food in Food and Medicine Hall is definitely healthy, so nothing will happen to you after you consume it. Please don’t let a scheming individual trigger you.”A scheming individual?Trigger?Dragon Scale scoffed and said, “Thomas Mayo, you’re really skilled at bragging. Why? Aside from you, everyone else in the world is bad, huh? Your food isn’t clean, but you won’t let me speak about it?”Thomas chuckled and firmly answered, “Before you accuse my food of not being clean, please show us your evidence. Do you think you can simply create rumors with words?”Dragon Scale immediately said, “Evidence? Wow! You cut corners and bought poisonous Cloudy Peony as a replacement for Lovey Peony. Then, you turned it into food and shared it with the customers. You don’t take the customers’
It was the truth. Dragon Scale kept saying there was something wrong with the food in Food and Medicine Hall, but what happened? Nothing happened to Food and Medicine Hall, but something went wrong with the food in her restaurant instead.How could she explain it?Had she been diverting their attention away from herself?Somebody became incredibly worked up. As soon as he stepped forward, he grabbed Dragon Scale’s wrist and cursed her, “You sly businesswoman! I’m going to send you to the police station!”Who was Dragon Scale? Would she let him send her to the police station just like that?She was already in a bad mood, and she hated men a lot. When the man grabbed her wrist, she was instantly filled with rage.“Let go of me!”“Let go of you? Are you trying to run away? Listen here, you can’t run away! Come with me, now!” the man said coldly.He spoke as he attempted to drag Dragon Scale away.The man assumed that since Dragon Scale was a woman, she should not have much streng
At that moment, Thomas clapped his hands loudly, and a man walked out from amongst the crowd. It was none other than Aldrich!Dragon Scale instantly recognized him.“You?“How dare you still stand in front of me?”When Dragon Scale saw the rascal who had betrayed her, she exploded in anger. She swung her arm, and a blade immediately flew toward Aldrich’s neck.It looked like she was going to kill Aldrich on the spot.Unfortunately, Thomas did not give her the chance.While the blade traveled in the air, Thomas casually threw a stone, and it hit the blade just right, causing the blade to drop to the floor.Did she want to kill Aldrich? No way.Aldrich immediately hid behind Thomas. He smiled brightly and sarcastically said to Dragon Scale, “Why are you so grumpy? You just threw a blade out of dissatisfaction. Were you trying to kill me?”“You took my money and betrayed me. Shouldn’t I kill you?” Dragon retorted angrily.Aldrich innocently said, “It’s actually not my fault. Yo
Thomas knew that some people would experience poisoning from eating the Cloudy Peony, so he prepared the antidote in advance. He could provide people with some comfort while he dealt with Dragon Scale.This time, Dragon Scale was completely doomed, and her reputation in Celandine City was definitely ruined.However, would things end like that?Of course not.Thomas had something else prepared for Dragon Scale, which was a fated arrangement.“Commander, we’ve distributed all the antidotes,” Pisces said as he walked over.“Okay.” Thomas nodded.Pisces was a little worried as he asked, “Commander, is your arrangement going to work out? We’ve seen how Dragon Scale acted earlier. It’s not easy to deal with her. I’m worried that… something might happen.”If Thomas dealt with Dragon Scale on his own, nothing would likely go wrong.However, it was Dragon Claw who wanted to deal with Dragon Scale this time, not Thomas.It was an injured person, more specifically Dragon Claw!There we
Dragon Claw was quite confident when he said that.He was not confident about his own capabilities, but his faith was strong. He could not lose, and he had to avenge Heron today.He slowly untied his bandages to reveal two hands that did not seem like they were injured at all.Dragon Scale was stunned. “Did your hands… recover?”“Thomas treated my hands. When I eat a medicine with special efficacy, I have five minutes to move freely. After five minutes, the effects will be gone,” Dragon Claw said without hiding anything.“So, I have to take care of you in five minutes.”Dragon Claw had already taken the medicine, and one minute had almost passed.Therefore, he only had four minutes left to fight.Four minutes?It was too difficult to defeat Dragon Scale in such a short time.Dragon Scale chuckled.She raised her arms, and there were blades in both her hands. “Aren’t you being overconfident about your martial arts? You won’t be able to kill me in five minutes.”Dragon Claw s
What was Dragon Claw trying to do? The dart was so heavy. Even if he could use his hands, he should not torture them like that.If he continued this, once the medicinal effects faded, he would not just lose the ability to use his darts. His hands would be in even worse condition. He might not be able to eat or even put his clothes on.Was he willing to become completely disabled for revenge?He was paying a huge price.Dragon Scale wiped the blood off her face and coldly said, “Dragon Claw, don’t think for a second that I can’t handle you now that you’ve increased the weight of the dart. I haven’t even used 50% of my abilities yet—” Halfway through her sentence, she saw a dart flying toward her chest, and it was extremely fast!It was so heavy, but it could move so speedily. Dragon Claw had used all of his strength. He did not give himself any leeway either.“Aha!”Dragon Scale turned over and avoided the dart.Before she could firmly stand, however, another dart was thrown a
It was a very magical mist, and it was Dragon Scale’s secret weapon.Those who inhaled it would hallucinate, and men would unwittingly fall for the women they saw. There were so many beautiful women. Would any man be able to resist the temptation?The most terrifying thing was the mist could make those who inhaled it stumble. Even if you were a holy person, it could dig out the darkness inside your heart, and you would not be able to help yourself.Dragon Scale had previously used the same technique to deal with a top-ranking Christian monk. He was a holy monk, who practiced self-cultivation and possessed a high moral standard, but even the monk failed to resist the mist’s attack. He could not help but fall for the women.All human beings had desires.Once the mist triggered your desire and you saw so many beautiful women, would you still be able to control yourself?After Dragon Scale saw how men were defeated by the mist one after another, she became extremely disappointed in t
When Dragon Scale saw the dart on her belly, she was in so much pain that she became speechless. Ever since she was born, she had never suffered such a severe injury.It hurt terribly.Death was coming to her, and she knew that she could not escape.Nevertheless, before she died, she wanted to drag him along with her!Dragon Scale used all her might to cut Dragon Claw’s neck with her blade, but Dragon Claw did not give her the chance. He just raised his arm and threw out a second dart.The two of them faced each other, and the dart traveled a short distance. One could imagine its speed, strength, and precision.The dart pierced Dragon Scale’s head mercilessly, and she instantly lost her life. Thud! She fell to the ground and died.Alas, she still lost to Dragon Claw.In a regular fight, Dragon Scale could have easily defeated Dragon Claw with her secret ability.But Dragon Claw was different today.Dragon Claw’s mind was filled with hatred. He was no longer “a person,” but a
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
