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

    “Hey, I have to return to the meeting…” “Wait, you don’t need to go to the meeting. After all, isn't Grandpa the person who makes the decision in the end? The suggestions you give won’t work. It’s more important to help me solve this problem first!”After Harvard pulled Emma away, she helplessly got into the car.33 Metro Garden Neighbourhood.The car came to a stop.Emma and Harvard then walked into the house, and they were immediately spotted by Felicia.“Emma, why are you back so early today? Hey… you’re also here, Harvard?”Harvard anxiously asked, “Aunt Felicia, is Thomas home?”“Yes, he hasn’t woken up yet.”“It’s so late now. Why isn’t he up yet?” Harvard pushed Emma. “Quickly, go and wake him up.”Emma shook her head helplessly. She walked into her bedroom and sat on the bed.Then, she nudged Thomas. “Stop pretending. Didn’t you wake up in the morning? Did you just pretend to be sleeping when you saw Harvard coming?”Thomas grinned.“Who’s pretending?“I was slee

    Harvard thought that something was wrong with his ears, and he coughed awkwardly.“What… What did you say?”Thomas drew his blanket. “I said, just ask your grandfather to come here and talk to me.”Harvard became completely angry. “Thomas, you’re too bold! You still want my grandfather to personally come over? Haha! How dare you! I’m killing you today!“The second he tried to rush over, Thomas casually grabbed a case for glasses on the bedside cabinet and threw it.The case was thrown right at Harvard’s knee, and it put him in so much pain that he directly knelt down on the floor.Thomas appeared to feel uncomfortable, and he said, “Hey, why are you kneeling down? I don’t buy it.”“Thomas, I’m not freaking kneeling down for you!”Harvard still wanted to make a big scene, but Emma pulled him outside.The two of them then moved to the living room.“Emma, let go of me. I have to knock some sense into him today!”Emma sighed. “Harvard, it’s useless. I know Thomas’ character. He

    “Grandpa, I’m telling the truth. I really don’t have any freaking car racing skills. Thomas was the person who won against the Volant race team.““Ridiculous!”Richard slammed the table fiercely. “Harvard, how many times have I told you not to brag and take advantage of a situation? There’s no free lunch in the world. You’ve gotten into trouble this time, right? Were you happy being the Race Legend?”He sighed. “Fine, just let Thomas do it. Ask him to come and let him compete with Cobra on your behalf. If he’s really as great as you said, it shouldn’t be a problem for him to beat Cobra. If he loses, great, we can kick him out of the Hill family.“Go ahead.”Yet, Harvard did not move. He stood still, lowered his head, and dared not speak.Johnson frowned. “What are you doing? I asked you to call Thomas here, didn’t you hear me?”Harvard gulped. “Um, Grandpa, I just went there.”“Oh? Why isn’t Thomas here?”“Thomas said… He said I’m not qualified to invite him.”“Hmm?” Richard

    Richard was so angry that he threw the phone on the floor and stomped his foot hard. It made Harvard feel so regretful because it was the new phone that he had just bought! Naturally, his grandfather was still angry, so Harvard dared not say anything.After all, he had caused this stupid problem.Richard coldly said, “Isn’t it just driving a car? I don’t believe that nobody besides Thomas can do it!”Harvard kept shaking his head and secretly thought, ‘Everyone knows how to drive, but only Thomas can drive more quickly than a professional racecar driver.’Richard sat back in his chair. “Go and pass a message to the company staff. Ask them who is able to defeat Cobra. As long as anyone can do it, I will not only give him the $10,000,000 invitation fee, but I will also give him another $10,000,000.”That would be $20,000,000 in total!A talented man had to show up for the favorable reward.Richard was livid. He did not believe that it would not work.Twenty minutes later, Harva

    Richard had been bullying Johnson and Emma for a long time, so it was time for Thomas to help his father-in-law and wife to take back some “interest”.Richard said, “The invitation fee of $10,000,000 will all be yours. I will also pay you another $10,000,000.”“And?”“And? You can get $20,000,000 from a race. What else do you still feel unhappy about?”Thomas smiled. “Although $20,000,000 is a lot, it’s just some ‘dead money’, and it’ll be used up someday.”Richard’s expression changed. He knew what Thomas wanted.He hesitated for a while.Then, he nodded. “Okay. As long as you can win in the race, I’ll give 5% of the main company’s shares to Emma. As long as the Hill family still exists, all of you won’t starve.”Everyone was stunned.Five percent of the Hill family’s shares was definitely an incredible promise.Emma had been suppressed because she never had the right to speak. With 5% of the shares, she had the power to voice her opinions at least.Right then, Thomas happi

    The blue veins popped up on Cobra’s face. “Bro, are you fooling around with me?”Harvard shrugged. “Let me open up to you. I wasn’t the one who defeated your man. It was my brother-in-law, Thomas Mayo. It’s just that he was driving my car at that time, so a misunderstanding happened.”Cobra gritted his teeth and asked, “But why did you become the ‘Race Legend?’”Harvard did not look embarrassed as he said, “Because my brother-in-law is a low-key person. He didn’t want to be the Race Legend, so I replaced him for a few days.”People were incredible when they were the most shameless!Cobra was so triggered by those shameless words that he became speechless.He had seen shameless people, but he had never met someone that shameless before. Harvard was more thick-skinned than the wall of a castle!“You! You!”Even though Cobra was fierce, he did not know what to say at that point.Harvard asked again, “So, if you compete with a faker like me, you won’t feel honored even if you win.

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
