His words nearly made Adery spit out blood in anger.“You don’t know medicine? Why are you here if you don’t know medicine?“To watch the show?”Thomas realized that he said something wrong, so he quickly explained, “Um, actually what I mean is that I have a method to cure your family’s genetic disease, so I purposely brought you—” Before he finished explaining, Merrick shook his head slightly.“Stop talking!”Thomas was taken aback for a while before he turned and looked at Merrick.Merrick tidied his clothes and spoke in a righteous way. “Since the beginning, I knew that you were unreliable. Sure enough, you expose yourself once you started talking.“You didn’t learn your medical skills from any expert, and you also didn’t study in a professional medical university. You know nothing about medicine. Who are you to fool us here?“What did you say? You have a method that can cure the Owen family’s genetic disease?“Haha! You’ll make people laugh, okay? You’re an outsider who
Adery slammed the table and stood up before she pointed at the door.“You, get out of here now!”What was going on?She did not feel grateful when she heard her brother’s name, and she became furious?Thomas frowned and explained, “Your brother and I were comrades. Some time ago, he fell sick because of this genetic disease. He did not choose a gentle treatment. Instead, he chose to try out new methods. After he tried all ten methods, they were still ineffective.“The method you mentioned earlier was one of them.“His condition worsened, and he inevitably died. But before he passed away, he finally found the method to fully cure the Owen family’s genetic disease, and he asked me to hand it to you.“Ms. Owen, please don’t waste his effort.“He paid for it with his life.”Thomas took out Acupuncture Skills and placed it on the table. “The last chapter of this book details the treatment method that your brother discovered. Please keep it.”His words were quite touching.Yet, Ad
After Thomas left, Merrick sneered and said, “In this world, there are all kinds of lousy people everywhere. Such an ignorant person also dares to boast in front of insiders. Haha!”Adery calmed herself down.The heavy burden of her life had been a huge strain on her. When she heard the news about her brother, Stone Owen, she felt furious.It was only after a long time that she slowly said, “Forget about that lousy man. Let’s go back to the topic just now. Mr. Dawson, how confident are you regarding my father’s disease?”Merrick smiled and said, “It would be too fake to say that I’m 100% confident. I think I have 99% confidence.”It was generally not a big deal when Merrick said 99%.Adery looked happy.“Can you please treat my father right away?”Merrick coughed. “Ehem, before that, I would like to confirm whether the conditions that you promised are still valid?”“Yes! As long as you can cure my father, half of the clinic’s ownership will be yours.”“No, I’m referring to th
“You’re welcome. This is just the first prescription. Next, I will want—”Before he finished speaking, William suddenly screamed and struggled painfully in bed.“Dad!”Adery quickly looked at her father. “Dad, what’s wrong with you?”The moment she reached out to touch her father’s skin, she felt as if she had touched a burning water pot. It was extremely hot!His cold had been removed, but his body had become extremely hot.“What’s going on?” Adery turned back, looked at Merrick, and questioned him loudly.“I… I… I don’t know.” Merrick broke out in cold sweat. He had used the same method to treat countless colds, but he had never seen William’s strange disease.Why did he suddenly become “hot” after he recovered from his cold?William’s skin turned extremely red as if he had just come out of a hot bath in the spa.Besides, his arms, face, and legs started to have rashes.They were extremely itchy.William felt pain and itchiness, and he could not help but reach out to scra
The car was prepared right away. Adery got the servants to continue looking after her father, while she personally headed to Scott’s Remembrance Cultural Arts Entertainment.Adery felt incredibly anxious on the way.Looking at her father’s condition, he would die at any time.It was all her fault.If she had not been stubborn, if she had not insisted on trusting Merrick, her father would not have ended up like that now.When Adery thought about it, she felt overwhelmed.She felt like she had “murdered” her own father.Beep!A black Lincoln drove out from an alley and forcefully blocked the way. Adery’s car was forced to stop, and a long scratch was produced after the tires skidded on the road.The emergency stop nearly made Adery hit the back of the front seat.She angrily asked, “What’s going on now?”“Miss, a car suddenly showed up and stopped in the middle of the road. We can’t get past it!”William’s life was in danger, and time was of the essence. At this time, a car h
[The body temperature will change according to the temperature of the treatment. It can’t be removed. This is the critical point of the Owen family’s genetic disease. If repeated treatment is administered, it would not cure but torture the body, and the patient will die.][Therefore, I invented the treatment of Nine Suns.][Nine Suns uses the nine acupuncture points of the human body as the basis. It leads the cold into the acupuncture points; four of them contain the coldness while the other four contain the heat. Eight of them are balanced against each other with one mediator.][When the coldness becomes heat, the cold acupuncture points will become balanced. When the heat becomes cold, the hot acupuncture points will become balanced.][In this case, the equilibrium between heat and coldness is achieved perfectly. This will become the nutrient of the acupuncture points of the human body, and it will make the body become stronger.]Reading all the descriptions, Adery was so surpr
That nearly made Thomas faint in shock. Although he had been involved in countless wars and even though he was a calm person, he still felt shocked after he heard those words.He coughed awkwardly. “Um, you don’t have to do that.”Adery was stunned.“I don’t have to?”“Yeah, I won’t marry you.”When he said that, it made Adery feel very surprised. At the same time, she also got a little angry.Based on her knowledge, nearly all the men who approached her wanted to make her happy. She was used to all kinds of seduction methods from those men.It was only because she had seen those methods that she found them disgusting.She did not fall for any one of the men, hence the reason she had been single throughout the years.From her perspective, as long as she wanted it, she could get her hands on any man.Only she had the right to choose the man. It was impossible for a man to choose her. But today, Thomas had taught her a lesson. It turned out that there was a man who could resist
Her deep love for her brother was equivalent to her hatred for him.Therefore, Adery would come to hate her brother so much later on.Now that she knew the truth, she felt slightly guilty. Her hatred for her brother was gone, and the admiration she had for him when she was little came back again.William smiled bitterly as he shook his head. “This is his fate! But hearing you talk about everything Stone did on the west coast, he did not embarrass our family. He is the hero of our country! His death is worthy. Besides, he even found a method to treat the genetic disease by himself. The Owen family is really proud of Stone!”The kid who had been despised by the family was finally recognized.Thomas added, “Before Stone passed away, he had two wishes. One was to cure the genetic disease that plagued his family members, while the other wish was to pass Acupuncture Skills to his family so that it could be fully utilized. I now pass this book to you, and with that, my mission is complet
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
