When Lord Vedastus heard that, he found it quite reliable. He liked people who worked before receiving their pay.If the task was done well, he would willingly transfer his company to her.If she could not do it, it was all right. He did not need to spend a single cent or suffer any loss.No matter how he looked at it, it was a deal that would not cost him anything.Lord Vedastus nodded. “Excellent! Do what you want. How long will it take before we can see results?”Mrs. Morgan snickered again. “It won’t take a long time. Three days will be sufficient. Thomas is very weak at the moment, and it’s the right time to attack him. But, I need you to do me a favor. I might not be able to handle it alone.”“What is it? Please tell us.”“I need Thomas’ birth date and a drop of his blood.”Lord Vedastus looked at Lucia. “Could you get those two things?”Lucia nodded. “No problem. I gathered Thomas’ information a long time ago, and I already have his birth date. It won't be difficult to
Thomas’ condition was worsening, and it instantly attracted a lot of attention. Everyone in Celandine City was paying attention to the big news.Pisces had invited the most excellent doctors from all over the world, but none of them could do anything.In fact, Thomas himself was the best doctor.Yet, even Thomas was unable to provide a treatment plan for himself, let alone the others.In an instant, the sky in Celandine City became a little dim.Everyone was nervous and anxious. If this continued, something might happen to Thomas, and he would die.Such terrible conditions persisted, from day to night and night to day.Two days passed, but Thomas still did not show any improvement.His complexion became extremely dark, and he was dying.Finally, early in the morning of the third day, Thomas took his last breath and passed away. He had left the world of the living.The God of War died miserably for no reason.News of Thomas’ death filled the headlines of all newspapers, and t
When Lord Vedastus thought about it, the happiest time in his life was actually when he started to earn money and give his family a good life.At that time, he could earn several hundred thousand dollars every month and up to a million annually.They were already very wealthy compared with other normal families. Back then, Lord Vedastus and his family lived their lives without worry, and they loved each other.However, like a snake trying to swallow an elephant, he was not content.Lord Vedastus, who was blinded by power and money, slowly descended into the abyss.His family stopped mattering to him anymore.He could give anything up as long as he had money and power.It was not until a few decades later that he suddenly realized it all amounted to nothing. Only relationships were the most genuine thing in the world.Right then, Lord Vedastus cried like a baby.He fell asleep and dreamed about his daughter.If God gave him a chance to live his life again, he would never choos
The man with the black face stared at Lord Vedastus, whose face was full of tears, and he asked, “Do you regret it now?”Lord Vedastus lowered his head without answering.Did it matter if he regretted his actions now?Could he still get back what he had lost? He was already dead, so he should just receive his punishment. There was no point in overthinking it.However, the man with the black face said, “If I give you a chance to do things over, would you want to continue standing against Thomas or reconcile with your daughter?”A chance to redo everything? Did it exist?Lord Vedastus raised his head and stared at the man with the black face with desperation in his eyes.Once he experienced life and death, he finally understood what the most precious thing in his life was.“I want my daughter.“I want my daughter!”The man with the black face nodded. He swung his hand and shouted, “Turn on the lights!”What?Before Lord Vedastus could figure out what just happened, his surrou
What kind of bullshit was that curse? It was just nonsense!Lord Vedastus shook his head and chuckled in resignation. He was really dumb! He actually believed in such crap like curses.Thomas said, “When people are backed into a corner and run out of options, they'll believe anything. It's the same reason why some people trust those little advertisements on the telephone poles. It’s because they just want to grab onto some little hope. They don’t want to lose it. Lord Vedastus, you’re only human.”When Odissan Solis failed to assassinate Thomas, Lord Vedastus had lost all hope. He thought that nobody would be able to kill Thomas.But Mrs. Morgan suddenly showed up.Usually, Lord Vedastus would not believe someone like Mrs. Morgan, who claimed that she could kill someone with a curse. He would just chase her away.However, in his time of desperation, Mrs. Morgan became Lord Vedastus’ only hope.He knew that it was impossible, but he still chose to trust her.It was a helpless ch
Lord Vedastus looked at Thomas in surprise. For a while, he was at a loss for words as he did not know how to answer.Yes, he just remembered what he had said just now.He had already let go of the hatred, but when he saw Thomas again, he could not help but have that hatred rekindle. Was it really difficult to change one’s character?“What should I do?“What exactly should I do?”Lord Vedastus complained like a child tearfully. He no longer had the demeanor of a king and was just like a schoolboy who failed his exams.Right then, a figure came out and silently came to Lord Vedastus’ side. The figure put a hand on his shoulder.“Dad.”One word. Just one word was enough to make Lord Vedastus tremble.He raised his head and opened his eyes wide to stare at the person in front of him. Then, he was surprised to discover that the person standing in front of him was none other than her daughter, Fiora, whom he had been thinking about all the time!“Fiora! Fiora!”Was this a dre
So, Pisces drove Thomas to the police station, and they entered the meeting room accompanied by a police officer.Besides Eric, there were many other senior officials.It could be seen that this was an important meeting. A streamlined plan was probably going to be introduced.Eric first introduced Thomas to the personnel at the scene. Indeed, everyone present there were all bigwigs.Besides the officials of Celandine City, there were also some important figures from other cities.It must be a big deal to have all these people sit together and work on a plan.Eric walked to the front and said to the people at the scene, “Everyone has arrived, so I’ll give a detailed explanation of the net hauling operation.”Net hauling operation.Thomas’ heart skipped a beat when he heard these three words. It seemed that the official had obtained enough information.It was time to catch the prey!Eric said, "Finally, we got enough information about all the forces of Luck after five years of
“You can. Of course, you can!”Thomas walked up to Emma with a smile. The two ignored the gazes of everyone around them and hugged tightly.They did not separate for a long time.“Cough. Cough.” Johnson, his father-in-law, coughed. “Okay, pay attention to your images.”Only then did the two separate.Thomas did not feel tired anymore. He was in a good mood and said, “I’ll go make some food for you guys now. Please wait for a while.”After a while, Thomas prepared a lot of dishes, and everyone ate them happily.Emma was so excited that she almost cried.She said, “Dear, I couldn’t even eat well when you were away. Dad’s cooking skills are terrible, so I couldn’t eat well all the time.”Johnson rolled his eyes at her. “Oh dear, if you don’t like my food, don’t eat it in the future.”Right then, Felicia, his mother-in-law, asked, “Tom, how are you? Are you doing fine? We watched the news and heard that you were dead. We were all shocked, so we came to see what was going on. We
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
