“Okay.”The two of them came to the parking lot while holding hands. When Emma opened the car door and was about to go onboard, Thomas hesitated.He stared at the car for a long time and asked, “Isn’t this a Porsche? Gemma, when did you buy a new car?”Gemma smiled, “Have you forgotten that my car is broken? It’s still under repair. This Porsche is Gilbert’s car. Anyway, he has been spending time at home these days and left his car at the company. I’m just ‘borrowing it’ for a test drive.”“So, that’s how this happened, and this car is Gilbert’s?”“Yes, get in the car.”Since Thomas had drunk some alcohol, he could not drive. He sat directly in the passenger seat and let Gemma drive home.Gemma was driving the Porsche on the wide road, and kept it safe and reasonable.Halfway through the drive, she felt a little hot and opened the car window. This was a truly satisfying experience for her to drive while allowing in the cool breeze.At that moment, a silver-white GTR was tailga
Thomas could care less. He continued to speed up. In the blink of an eye, he reached so closely to the GTR in front he was practically tailgating him. He might be speeding, but Thomas did not panic in the slightest. In fact, the car was extremely stable, and sitting in it was very comfortable. Emma was rather surprised. When did Thomas gain such advanced driving skills?Could it be that he was always this outstanding, but she never knew about it?Inside the GTR, Mr. Headband kept driving on. From the rearview mirror, he saw the Porsche catching up to them. Freckles laughed by the side. “Hey, Bro, they’re catching up.”Headband laughed coolly. “Who does he think he is?”Stomping on the accelerator, the GTR zoomed forward with its massive horsepower. They immediately lost the Porsche. Based on specifications, the GTR’s horsepower was a lot higher than Thomas’s Porsche. So while accelerating on straight roads, the Porsche was lacking quite a bit. Emma let out a sigh. “Thomas
“Yep, that's a drift. Never thought that we could meet such an unmatched expert in a place like this.”Freckles looked at the Cola bottle in his hand. “We just don't know who that person is.”Headband said, “He must be a professional racer to have skills of that level. Southland district really is full of hidden talents. We got defeated on our very first day here. Let's go back first and tell our big bro about this. We have to find the owner of that Porsche. If such an excellent talent joined our race team, our hopes of getting gold this year will increase greatly!”Headband drove the GTR far out and left.Nobody noticed a dark black car tailing not far behind them. There was a man and a woman in the car. The woman was holding a camera and wearing glasses. She laughed and said, “We originally wanted to snap a few photos of the Volant race team to publish some sidebars. I didn't expect to snap such incredible pictures.”“The third man on the Volant race team and the second-be
The next morning, Thomas drove Emma to the main company building. He parked the car in an empty lot. Just as the two of them got down from the car, they saw Harvard rush over in a huff. “Emma, who let you drive my car?” Harvard asked impatiently.Emma shrugged her shoulders. “I sent my car for repairs for these two days, so I borrowed yours for a while. Relax, I won't be using it for today.”“Borrow? You said nothing to me! This is stealing!”Harvard took his car to the side and checked it up and down. His heart was bleeding at the sight. “Ah, ahh. Why is my car so dirty?”Emma hastily pulled Thomas to leave quietly. Harvard was still fussing about his car getting dirty. When he turned back, he had already lost sight of Emma. “Emma, you’d better pay me back for my darling car!”Just as he was towering in rage, a journalist lady wearing spectacles walked over. Next to her was a strong man holding a camera. “Excuse me, are you the owner of this Porsche?” Harvard turned b
When the article was released, it was spread out far and wide. A low profile racing Legend; a godlike professional racer.It was enough to hit the hearts of racing enthusiasts each and every time. Even the normal bystanders started to idolize this legendary racer.Over the next few days, girls kept coming up to him from all the fame. They all came to either gift him flowers or ask for autographs. Some even went as far as to offer themselves to bear Harvard's brats.Within a few short days, Harvard Hill had become the talk of the town. He had become the top racing legend in the Southland district.Everyone knew that there was an incredible person from the Hill family in Southland. Harvard was showered in praise and flowers; it was a sight to envy.This day, Emma sat on the sofa in her house, as she scrolled through one after another of Harvard's news. Her face was almost green with fury. In the end, she slammed her phone on the table.“It's infuriating. I'm so pissed off!”
In the Hill’s main company building, the administrative building’s meeting room. Richard was having a meeting with the company’s core members to discuss the following month’s work plans. Emma and Harvard were among the seats too.Just as they were discussing, a female secretary walked in and said to Richard. “Mr. Hill, there’s a man claiming to be Cobra wanting to meet Havard.”Hmm? Cobra wanted to meet Harvard?Richard looked at Harvard and asked, “Since when did you mix around with such shady people?”Harvard quickly shook his head. “I didn't. I don't know them.”He looked at the secretary. “Did you hear it right? They are here for me?”“That's right. They came along with 7-8 people. I think they are the members of some Volant race team.”The moment he heard the words “Volant race team”, Harvard’s expression changed. He knew there was trouble bubbling. These days, Richard also heard that for some reason, his good-for-nothing grandson was suddenly being hailed as the people
Today, Cobra wanted to personally challenge the Race Legend.They would need to regain the dignity that they had lost!Harvard knew his ability clearly. Who was he to compete with professional car racing team members? He subconsciously gulped and awkwardly scratched his head.“Um, I think there’s no need…” Cobra glared at Harvard. His gaze was reminiscent of a venomous snake, and he terrified Harvard so much that Harvard’s words died in his throat. Cobra flashed a fake smile and said, “Of course, I won’t let you compete for nothing. Regardless of the result, I’ll pay you an invitation fee of $10,000,000!”Ten million dollars?Regardless of the result?Harvard became interested. He had been in a rut recently, and he lacked money.He should just agree. When the time came, he could casually shun them. It would not be a big deal even if he lost. After all, the guy was the ace of a professional race team, so it would not be very embarrassing.If he lost, he could still earn $10,
Cobra said, “I should just stop talking here. I’ll be leaving first. I will wait for your call to inform me of the time and venue.”After he spoke, he turned and left.Harvard was stunned. He did not know what he should say.His car racing skills were so terrible. How could he compete with professional racecar drivers? But, he could not be a “deserter” either. He had signed the consent form. If he lost, his ancestral plaque would be taken away.What should he do?Richard seemed to trust him a lot.He patted Harvard on the shoulder. “Harvard, work harder. Don’t let me down. Since you were able to beat them the last time, you can naturally beat them for the second time!“They dare to act so arrogantly toward our Hill family. Haha! Let them know our strength!“Harvard, you have to keep it up. I’m old now, so the position of the ruler is destined to fall into your hands. Among the many younger ones, only Donald is better than you. However, Donald is still an outsider, so I look to
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
