As soon as Cadell gave his order, his people instantly rushed forward. They licked their lips while they stared at Emma and rushed over like starving wolves.Emma was so scared that she leaned into Thomas’ arms as she shuddered in fear.While the members of Red Mist Front behaved arrogantly, they heard the loud chimes of the bell in the city.Dong!Dong!Dong!The sounds were loud and clear, overwhelming the people’s souls to the extreme.The members of Red Mist Front stopped, and all of them looked in the direction of the bell chimes.Out with the old, in with the new.The old year had passed, and the new year had come.Everyone in the world had become one year older.There were a total of twelve chimes. Every sound hit the people’s hearts and was enough to snap them out of their daze. Soon, the bell of the new year stopped tolling.Thomas raised his head and stared at the sky. He exhaled before he indifferently said, “I feel a little sad today, so I don’t want to harm a
The third person was a man who looked sly and arrogant.“I’m Gemini from Twelve Golden Zodiacs. I wish Mr. and Mrs. Mayo a Happy New Year!”Every warrior of Twelve Golden Zodiacs, from Aries to Pisces, was there, and they reported for duty one after another. Each of them was a super expert who could defeat one hundred people alone.Besides, the twelve of them had their own strengths, and they could tackle problems from different aspects for Thomas.They were the most terrifying helpers under Thomas.When Cadell saw the twelve men, he was so scared that he dared not move, and he nearly peed.He had been a gangster for a long time, so he was still a little sensible.Seeing the appearance and behavior of the twelve people, he could tell that all of them were not ordinary people.Actually, he did not need to make any guesses. He could already see their scary side just by looking at the one hundred warriors who were led by the twelve people.The fact that these twelve incredible
Thomas suddenly put some strength into his fingers, and the tire released a buzzing sound as he grabbed it.Subsequently, Thomas used a little strength in his arm to lift the motorcycle before he threw the man and the motorcycle out onto the concrete floor. The motorbike landed on top of the man’s legs, and his legs instantly became impaired.The Red Mist Front members looked at each other, and they dared not believe that a human being could do such a thing.But Thomas was able to do so.Emma looked incredibly surprised too. Her husband was that strong? If she had known, she would not have been so terrified.When she looked at Thomas, he had barely put in any effort, and he was so powerful that he made people feel suffocated.Thomas waved his hand. “I don’t want to see this group of people again. Wipe them out.”Scorpio from Twelve Golden Zodiacs immediately walked out.Before he took any action, Taurus stepped out and stopped him. He chuckled and said, “If you take any action,
“What are you looking at?” Emma asked.Thomas wanted to say something, but he felt that everything he wanted to say was useless. So… He moved closer and kissed Emma’s fair cheek with his thick lips. In an instant, a rosy hue filled her fair cheek.Emma’s face turned red.He had kissed her in front of so many people. Her shyness did not allow her to bear it, so her heart kept pounding at a fast rate.“You jerk!”With her rosy fist, Emma punched Thomas near his heart before she got up and ran away.Taurus shouted, “Boss, hurry up and go after her!”Thomas glared at Taurus, scaring him so much that he quickly stopped talking.However, Thomas carefully thought about it and found that Taurus was quite right. So, Thomas quickly got up and went after Emma.Under the moonlight, two figures ran in succession.They were running on the road by the river that reflected the moonlight.The man caught up to the lady and held her in his arms. With the moonlight as their witness, they hugg
In the Southland District’s city center, Skyworld Enterprise, chairman’s office.Conley held a cigarette with one hand and crossed his legs while he sat in his chair. He kept smoking in anger, and every puff he took was to eliminate the gloominess in his heart.Another person was standing in front of Conley with his head lowered. It was none other than Donell from Hegemony Entertainment.Calix Weston, the smart mind, was sitting beside him.The failure of the recent New Year’s Eve concert had humiliated Donell completely. He knew that he had lost his place in Conley’s heart, and he was at fault this time.His only expectation at this point was for Conley to not be so cruel since he had worked there for many years. Plus, he had also made some contributions.But, Conley was not such a kind person.He stared at Donell and sneered, “Hey, what did you promise to me back then?“You said that as long as I give you another week, you could totally destroy Scott’s Remembrance Cultural Ar
Calix paused for a while before he continued to say, “Therefore, after I reflected on it, the whole Skyworld Enterprise has nobody who can be Thomas’ opponent.“Besides, I feel that Thomas actually has the ability to get rid of us completely, but he doesn’t want to do that. Instead, he wants to take his time to slowly make a fool out of us.”“What?” Conley was stunned. “Are you kidding me?”Calix smiled bitterly and said, “This thought is very ridiculous, but I can tell you that it’s real. It’s just like a cat going after a rat. The cat doesn’t want to eat the rat, but the cat wants to play with the rat. Thomas must be thinking about letting us experience the desire of wanting to escape but realizing that we’ve been fooled and we can’t do anything in the end.”It had to be said that Calix was the smartest mind in Skyworld Enterprise.His guess was indeed what Thomas hoped to see.Conley slammed the table hard. “Are we really going to be fooled and manipulated by him? He can just
Early in the morning, the chief officer in charge’s office in the Southland District.Thomas sat in his chair with a gloomy expression, while Angus, the police squad captain, stood in front of him.When Thomas had just returned from Milan, he and Susan had been surrounded by a group of gangsters who sold human organs. One of them had been a man called Dr. Dawson.Angus had brought that man away, and after a thorough interrogation, a preliminary outcome was generated.Angus put the investigation report on the table.Then, Thomas read it while he listened to Angus’ oral report.“Sir, Dr. Dawson’s real name is Edward Dawson. According to our investigation, he is the second son of Brad Dawson, the chairman of the Southland District’s Medical Company, and the younger brother of Merrick Dawson.“He joined the underground organization and got involved in illegal activities. He was mainly involved in activities that sold human organs and prostitution.“Edward Dawson’s function in the o
Brad kept shaking his head. Did he not know how serious the current situation was?But he had no solution.Edward Dawson had been arrested, and the source for their stock was lost.Besides, Edward’s identity was special. Although they did not have precise news, Brad did not need to think deeply to know that the police were secretly eyeing the Dawson family.They could not do anything carelessly for now.They could not purchase new stock. As soon as they took any action, the police would arrest the whole Dawson family.However, Mr. Barlow was coming in the afternoon.Yet, they did not have a kidney for him. If he came, how were they going to conduct the surgery?If the surgery failed, they would definitely offend Mr. Barlow. The Dawson family would not be able to bear it!After Brad thought for a while, he suddenly chuckled and said, “Perhaps we can pass this hot potato to someone else?”Merrick was stunned. “Who should we pass it to?”Brad was happy. “Where else could we pas
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
