One day passed in the blink of an eye.The next morning, a black sedan stopped in front of Deer International Hotel. One hundred men in black suits got out of the car. All of them had crew-cut hairstyles, and each of them emitted absolute ruthlessness.They were led by four people.They were Taurus, Libra, Sagittarius, and Cancer from Twelve Golden Zodiacs.The crowd moved to the sides, and Thomas slowly walked out. He raised his head and looked at the name of the hotel before he led them inside.A group of them walked into the lobby of the hotel.But there was no one in the hotel.The lobby had been neatly cleaned up, and nobody was there as if they were welcoming Thomas and his army.Clearly, this was a well-designed conspiracy, or perhaps it should be considered a plot.Each of them held their fists tightly and prepared to get involved in a cruel fight. They believed that the opponent must have predicted the severity and prepared many people to ambush them.Instead… A te
On the other side...The car that Thomas took stopped very soon. The driver fetched Thomas to the entrance of an old alley.At the entrance, two children who appeared to be eight years old checked through Thomas’ body. They took away his accessories like his phone and did not allow him to bring in anything.After they finished checking, Thomas walked into the alley.He moved forward according to the instructions all the way to the entrance of a small house.This should be the place where the enemy was hiding, right?The enemy chose to meet in this kind of place. If they prepared an ambush in advance, they could easily handle normal people, and nobody would find it suspicious.But, would Thomas be easily settled?He took a deep breath before he pushed the door and walked inside.He initially thought there would be machetes and iron rods moving toward him. In the worst case, there would be at least ten muscular men inside the house, right?But, it turned out that… There was o
The iron gate of the factory warehouse was opened.Thomas walked into the warehouse alone. About eight muscular men were sitting on the reinforced pipes that were stacked up on both sides, and all of them were holding a sharp dagger.These were the super skilled masters who were specially selected. They were the most excellent group that had been chosen from all of Conley’s subordinates.Thomas walked in the wide space in the middle, while the muscular men on both sides stared at him with sharp gazes. That kind of feeling was like eagles staring at a little bunny.If he were an ordinary person, he would be terrified so much that his legs felt weak, and he would fall down on the floor even if he stood still, let alone walk while being stared by these gazes.Not being afraid of these fierce gazes meant that Thomas was capable to a certain extent.There was a lift at the end of the warehouse.A man in a suit with a pair of golden-framed glasses was standing on the big platform of t
It was just that he could not cry.His tears rolled in his eyes. He was instantly overwhelmed by his guilt and thoughts for his brother as well as his self-accusation. He clenched his fists tightly.His arms were extended straight.His strength instantly burst out.“Kill him!”When Calix growled angrily, the super masters rushed forward, and all the daggers pierced toward Thomas’s vital body parts. His neck, his chest, the back of his head, and his spine. If any of these were stabbed, he would be killed immediately.Danger was imminent.In this kind of situation, normal people did not think of how to survive. The only thing they could think about was to let themselves not die so miserably.But Thomas was not a normal person.He was the God of War!“Ah!”After a shout, Thomas moved swiftly behind a muscular man, and he grabbed his head with one hand.He put more strength on his fingers.Crack! Crack! Before the muscular man was able to scream, he fell down.Thomas kick
Conley was enraged and wanted to retaliate, but he gritted his teeth and swallowed his anger.Everything else was simple as long as they could take out Thomas.“Let’s see how good you are.“Let’s see how you will explain yourself to me if you can’t take Thomas out!”In the warehouse, Calix was startled. He looked to the left and right before swiftly climbing up the scaffolding. Then, he followed the ladder as he tried to run away.But why would Thomas give him the opportunity to escape? So, he followed him up easily and chased him down.This bastard that murdered and threw away Scott Mayo’s cremains had to be dealt with today by his own hands!Bam!!!Calix slammed onto a wall, with no way out and the God of War hot on his tails, he had nowhere to go. There was only a dead end!With a loud thud, Calix was on his knees.In order to live, he could no longer care about his reputation. He started begging for mercy.“Thomas, you can just beat me up, but don't kill me, please? “I
But he was mistaken, it was not that Ryan did not care about his partners’ lives. It was just that he did not care about their lives.Because Ryan had never thought of them as his partners.He even wished for them to just die.Ryan looked at Thomas as he approached the metal cage, and Thomas returned his gaze silently.Ryan chuckled awkwardly and said, “I still remember the last time we saved people together. But I did not expect to see you again a few days later, and for it to be in this sort of situation, such a pity.”“Why would a man like you be involved with Conley Hudson?” Thomas asked in a deep voice.“Haha, because he’s my younger brother, Ryan Hudson! Didn't see that coming, did you?” Conley said with a laugh.With a bitter smile, Thomas shook his head.“No wonder.“From the beginning when I started splitting ways with my vassals, we lost track of the stalking and used eight people as scapegoats. Calix used this type of bait when my mind was the most clouded.“How co
It was the first time in Ryan's life for him to realize that there had been a flaw in his plan.According to his original plan, not only would Thomas be captured, but no one else would be able to find this location.However, two of Thomas's vassals were actually able to track it down all the way here!This had not been part of his plan.He stared at Thomas and asked, “Since when did you install the tracking device on you?”Thomas smiled and said, “What do you think?”Thomas had obviously implanted the tracking device from the start. Otherwise, from the moment he went into the hotel until he was captured, the entire process would have been monitored, and his every move would be exposed in front of Ryan's eyes, making it impossible for him to make a move.Ryan’s brows furrowed even deeper.In that case, then Thomas had been aware of his presence from the beginning and was already defending himself?Impossible. There was no way that he would be aware of his presence.“Thomas,
Why could they not kill him even though he was already imprisoned in the cage? Why did it feel as though they had instead imprisoned a chimera which they could not destroy no matter what they tried?At that moment, an underling ran over to them.“Mr. Hudson, something bad happened, the two people outside are starting to close in.”“Huh?”Conley was shocked, then he barked angrily, “There are a couple of hundred men in this factory and they could not handle two people?” “Mr. Hudson, really, we are unable to hold on any longer!”Ryan, who was standing to the side, furrowed his brows slightly. It was obvious that Thomas was fitted with a tracking device, yet only two vassals were sent to save him, this did not add up.“Virgo and Gemini, The Buddha and the Devil. Even if it were me, I might not be able to keep both of them at bay at the same time. Samson seemed to be a little bit excited, so he arranged for the two of them to come and fight at the same time.” Thomas said calmly.B
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
