Susan’s face turned red like a ripened apple, and she subconsciously lowered her head.Her affection slowly rose to the surface.The madame smiled. She ordered her staff to open the drawer and personally took out the jade necklace.“Come, let’s try to put it on.”The madame purposely played a “mischievous trick” as she handed the necklace to Thomas so that he could put it on Susan.At that moment, Susan realized what happiness meant.She closed her eyes and felt the moment.The madame was right. She should not think about what would happen in the future or whether they could get together. Those things were not important. All she needed to do was enjoy the moment.At least now, this man belonged to her.Even though she was just pretending that he belonged to her, it was enough.Thomas personally put the jade necklace on for Susan, and right then, tears dropped from the corner of Susan’s eye.They were tears of happiness.Why are you crying?”“No, nothing.”Susan turned bac
His voice, especially when he spoke, was like fingernails scratching glass, and it made people feel tingly when they heard it.This man was the madame’s second son, Anthony Quinn.Anthony looked at Thomas. “Did they say that you’re good at drinking?”Thomas politely smiled without answering. Anthony pointed at himself. “Do you know who I am? I never get drunk. People always call me Drunken Fairy. How can you call yourself good at drinking in front of me? Bah!”Susan looked unhappy. What was wrong with this person? He offended Thomas as soon as he arrived like a mad person.She wanted to argue, but Thomas stopped her.Arguing with such a person would not lead to any good outcome. Besides, they were guests, and he was the host, so it was not appropriate for them to argue. Most importantly, if they had a dispute with Zach, it would embarrass the madame.It was not worth it.However, Zach could not bear the sight. “Anthony, stop fussing about here. Dr. Mayo is our mother’s savior
In such a situation, if you cared about your dignity, there was no reason for you to refuse a drink.Not to mention, Zach was someone who cared about his dignity.“Hmph! Aren’t there just three bowls of whisky?“I’ll drink!”Zach walked to the table and reached out to pick up a bowl. However, he sensed the pressure of a strong hand. He could not even move out of the grip.It was only after he raised his head that he realized Thomas was holding him back.“Dr. Mayo?”Thomas gently said, “Mr. Quinn, looking at your complexion and aura, your liver isn’t simply afflicted with a small disease. If you usually take care of yourself, you’ll be fine. But once you drink alcohol, you’ll definitely die.”He made it sound very terrifying.It was especially more terrifying when it was from a doctor.Anthony sneered. “Hey, stop acting. Do you really think that I can’t tell?“You have no sincerity at all. Haha! Does such a person still want to inherit the position of our family head?“Bah!”
Gradually, Anthony could not bear it anymore. He had drunk eight bowls of whisky... Eight big bowls!The bowls were usually used to contain soup, but the bowls were now being filled with whisky. A normal person would have felt dizzy and vomited at that point. The fact that Anthony could still stand indicated that he had a pretty good drinking capacity.He looked at Thomas again. Thomas’ face had not turned red, and he was not breathing heavily. He leisurely filled up three more bowls with whisky.“Come again?”Anthony secretly grumbled in his mind. ‘Is Thomas a human being? He’s a freak.’In total, Thomas had drunk twenty-four bowls of whisky. Why was he not drunk yet?Even if he was not drunk, he should be full, right?Anthony had drunk alcohol for so many years. It was his first time encountering a compatible opponent. He suddenly slammed the table and growled, “Come again. Come again!”He picked up a bowl to drink its content.However, because he had drunk too much, he co
These two teams were considered top elite clubs in football.The competition between the elite clubs had to be a big thing.Such football matches must be very popular, so it was difficult to even get a ticket. Even a big family like the Quinn family could only obtain ten tickets.Although the tickets were not expensive, their sincerity was evident.Zach chuckled and said, “Other than fashion, the biggest logo in Milan city is football. If you don’t watch a football match when you come here, it’s like you’re not here.”Thomas nodded.Watching a football match was quite relaxing, and it was better than accompanying Susan to buy some clothes and bags.Zach said, “Our family will go and watch the match tomorrow. Dr. Mayo, let’s go together with us. We’ll let you feel the enthusiasm in a football city.”“Okay!”The madame urged everyone to quickly sit down. “I’m hungry now. Come on, let’s dine. Don’t just stand there.”Everyone took their seats and drank while they chatted.Susan
On the glass, the shadow took off her clothes before she took a shower.Susan’s gorgeous figure was completely reflected on the frosted glass. Although she could not be seen, her figure was seductive enough. If normal men saw her, they would have drooled.Thomas shook his head and turned back before he turned on the television and started watching.He should not look at things that were inappropriate.He loved Emma only. Besides, Susan was Emma’s cousin, so he could definitely not do anything. He could not even think about nonsense.Half an hour later, after Susan finished her shower, she suddenly screamed.Thomas looked over. “What’s wrong?”Susan coquettishly said, “Hey, Thomas, I forgot to take the clothes to get changed. Can you take it over for me?”“Huh?”Thomas really had the intention to kill himself.How could he do this thing?He was so embarrassed that his face turned red, and he said in a righteous manner, “No way. I’m not taking it to you. Can you come out and g
Thomas’ heart was still pounding fast. He did not know when the youthful lady had taken a seat in his mind, and he could never get rid of her.He lay on the floor and pulled the blanket over his body.As soon as he closed his eyes, Susan’s gorgeous figure that was reflected on the frosted glass came to mind.Beautiful... Youthful...Sexy...He could not forget her.The desire in Thomas’ heart had been stirred up to the point that he felt flustered.Even if he closed his eyes, even if he felt mentally and physically exhausted, he could not stop thinking about her. He did not have the intention to sleep.At that moment, Susan walked out. She was dressed up in babydoll nightwear, and the room was filled with her body fragrance.Thomas closed his eyes tightly.He would not cross the boundary.Susan got on the bed, pulled the blanket over her body, and put her hand on the lamp switch in the room.“Goodnight, Thomas,” she gently whispered, and her finger moved slowly. Tap! Th
The man put a cup of tea in front of Anthony. “The tea is for you to sober up. Drink it.”At that time, Anthony remembered that he competed with Thomas in drinking. He was completely drunk last night, and he lost terribly. He was carried by people before he was put on the bed and fell asleep.When he woke up, it was already 2.00 pm.He drank some time before he looked at the time, and he was so shocked that he immediately got off the bed.“It’s already so late. Weiss, why didn’t you wake me up?“What if we ruin Master's plan?”The man whose name was Weiss calmly got another cup of tea. “The match starts at 2.30 pm. A football match takes approximately 110 minutes, so it’s still early now. You can sleep for a while longer, it won’t ruin the plan.”“Won’t ruin? You’re incredible.”Anthony got changed while he said, “Darn it. A guy came out of nowhere last night, and he was so good at drinking. He was fine after drinking about thirty bowls of whisky. If he hadn’t caused trouble, I
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
