“So, what?“You’ll be dead soon. What can you do even if you know about this?”Thomas scoffed. “Dead?”He showed one finger. “Ten seconds will be enough to deal with all of you.”Dr. Dawson smiled. “Hey, you’re quite good at bragging. Ten seconds? Okay, all of you take his clothes off and tie him up. I’m cutting him now. I want to see how he can fight you off in ten seconds.”The people took the ropes and walked forward.Thomas let Susan stand behind him, then… His fists moved like shooting stars.His leg movements moved like lightning strikes.Before the men realized what happened, some loud thudding sounds were heard, and all of them flew out.Some of them hit the wall, some were smashed on the door, some laid on the floor, some were hung on the pillar.Ten seconds?No, ten seconds were too many. All gangsters were beaten up in just five seconds.They wanted to catch Thomas?They were not qualified yet.Thomas clapped his hands, turned around, and looked at Dr. Dawson
Normal people would not be able to avoid a bullet in such a short distance. It was too speedy!Even if he was the God of War, he was just a human. He was not a real god.Susan was so shocked that she screamed. She was worried that Thomas would be killed by the gunshot.But… By the time James pulled the trigger, Thomas was already prepared. He gently stepped out half a step to the side, and the bullet mysteriously moved across his sleeve.Pop! It was fired into the wall.James was stunned for a while. “Hey, lad, you’re not bad.”Pop! Pop! He did not say anything as he continuously fired a few shots. But, Thomas seemed like he knew magic. Every bullet moved past his body, and none of the bullets could be shot toward him.His capability was really scary.At this time, James realized something was wrong. He quickly let his people help to fire the shots.He could not kill this man with one gun, but this man could be killed with five guns, right? He did not believe that. Could it
Pretending to be a police officer, abusing his power to cover his crime up, and helping the criminals commit a series of crimes... James and the gangsters could not run away. All of them were arrested on the spot.In the end, James stared at Thomas and asked the last question.“Who are you?”Able to beat up eighteen people alone, able to avoid the bullet within a few meters, able to injure their hands with stones, able to call over the police team leader.If someone was able to do any of these, he was absolutely a big guy, let alone that he already achieved everything.James really wanted to know the real status of this man.Thomas also did not hesitate.He moved closer to James and whispered, “Didn’t you say that even if the chief officer in charge of the Southland District was here, he would also need to kneel down to lick your shoes?”“Huh?”James was completely stunned.He had actually casually said that to bluff Thomas. He had not been serious.Could it be him?Yes, on
After some “difficulties”, the two of them finally made it back to 33 Metro Garden Neighborhood.This Milan trip made their relationship become closer and also more complicated.Before Susan got down from the car, she took off the jade necklace that Thomas chose for her, kept it inside the box, and kept it away.This was probably the most important present for her in her life.She was destined not to get this man.At least, she could still keep his present.It was also her memory.The two of them walked into the house one after another. At this time, the house was filled with aroma. The delicacies were served on the dining table. Just looking at the dishes already made them drool.Emma and her family came forward to welcome them.“Didn’t you get off the plane a long time ago? Why are you arriving so late?” Emma asked.“Gah, don’t talk about it. We…” When Susan wanted to speak honestly, she was interrupted by Thomas. “We met a driver who did not know the way. He took us a lo
All the most famous young artists on the market generally had been recruited by Hegemony Entertainment. Although he lost terribly in the previous times, Hegemony Entertainment still had its foundation. Nearly all famous celebrities signed their contracts with Hegemony Entertainment, so there was absolutely no problem with the popularity of the New Year’s Eve concert that they organized.“Scott’s Remembrance Cultural Arts Entertainment, how can you compete with me?”At this time, Flora, who was sitting on the couch said, “Mr. Cedar, we’ve invited many famous celebrities. But, because of Jonah Dunkley, many singers who are famous and have good reputations will be performing in Scott’s Remembrance. I think they will also have high popularity.”She was right.Although there were no young celebrities in Scott’s Remembrance, they had invited a large group of capable singers.The host, Jay Colbert, was especially influential in the industry.With such a line-up, their popularity and r
Thomas had been worried about whether Donell would play any tricks for the whole day. He had all aspects under control so he could make sure that no accident would happen.Until two hours before the concert started, it was still very calm.The calmer it was, the more uncomfortable Thomas felt.Knock! Knock! The door of his office was knocked.“Come in,” Thomas casually said.The door was opened, and a man walked in. He was the most influential host, Jay Colbert.Thomas and Anna looked at each other. They did not understand why he would be there. Should he not be taking the time to practice and familiarize himself with the scripts?Jay flashed a faint smile, and he spoke, “Mr. Mayo, Ms. Caspian, I want to discuss something with you.”Anna felt a little impatient. She tried to calm herself as she asked, “What is it?”Jay said, “I think the performance fee this time is a little too low, and it’s not good enough for my status in the industry. You have to know that the host invited
Jay was intelligent, and he knew Scott’s Remembrance Cultural Arts Entertainment clearly. It was only his own understanding that made him succeed easily.Yes, it was very easy to replace an actor.But it was impossible to replace a host.Anna gritted her teeth and felt quite angry. She could afford $5,000,000, but the problem was that Jay was not worth the price! Besides, the process of him increasing the price was too disgusting.“Jay Colbert, aren’t you afraid that you’ll need to compensate because you’ve violated the requirements of the contract?”Jay laughed loudly. “You want me to compensate? Sure. I will only suffer a loss of $600,000 at most, but you will lose the effect of the whole concert. Ms. Caspian, you clearly know who will suffer more losses.”She felt helpless.No matter how angry Anna felt, she had to agree with Jay’s unreasonable request after she balanced the profits and losses.When she was ready to agree, Thomas, who had been silent, spoke.He indifferentl
Anna did not know whether she should cry or laugh when she saw the “young lad” whom Thomas mentioned.It was a young man who had just worked for less than one year! His name was Daniel Collins.Yes, he was a newcomer with excellent potential. But no matter how excellent he was and how much potential he had, he was just a newcomer who had just worked less than one year!How could he have the ability and qualification to take over such a big event?Most importantly, Daniel was a big-mouthed person. When he was excited, he would talk about anything, which easily ruined the event. Was it not a monkey business if they used such a ‘risky’ young host at the last minute?“No way. Mr. Mayo, I do not agree with your arrangement.”Thomas chuckled. Actually, he did not just make this change when he felt excited. Before this, he had gotten in touch with Daniel, and he realized that this young man did not have stage fright and was very humorous.These were the two strengths that were very imp
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
