Just when the crowd gave Adery the warmest applause, a security guard suddenly rushed in and said hurriedly, “Mr. Dawson, there is a woman carrying a child outside. She’s asking for treatment.”Someone in the room stated in displeasure, “This is an exchange event for doctors today. We’re not going to treat any patients. Send her to the hospital.”The security guard said, “The woman said that she came from the hospital and that the hospital can’t treat her son. I saw that the boy’s face was pale and might pass away at any moment.”Brad remained silent for a moment before he said, “The reason why we organized this exchange event is to improve our medical skills and treat the sick. The patient is at the door now, so how can so many of us refuse to help her? Then, what’s the point of us organizing this exchange event? We’d have our priorities skewed if that’s the case. Come, let me take a look.”When they saw how chivalrous Brad was, everyone was full of admiration. “Mr. Dawson is mo
But… was it possible?The woman and child in front of her was clearly a trap set by Brad Dawson. The child’s illness might not be something that could be cured easily. Under everyone’s expectant gaze, Adery arrived in front of the bed, sat down, and reached out to check the child’s pulse. While she checked the boy, she asked the woman about the child’s symptoms, what she ate, what she did, whether she went to unhygienic places, and other such questions. The woman’s answers were unable to help her in the slightest. The sickness was difficult to treat. After examining the child, Adery scowled and stared at the child in bed for a long time. The woman asked, “Dr. Owen, how is my son?”Adery said nothing. After remaining silent for a long time, she shook her head. “I can’t do anything about it.”“What?!”The crowd burst into a ruckus. Everyone’s faces were filled with disbelief. Even the professional internist and the master of the Owen family could not treat the boy, so
What Adery said nearly made Thomas laugh. It was no wonder why Adery could not detect any symptoms. The boy was not even sick!He was not sick, but was pretending to be sick. How was he supposed to be cured like this?That was the same as not being able to wake up a person who was pretending to be asleep. Similarly, you could not cure a person who was pretending to be sick. Thomas originally thought that the boy was so severely ill that even Adery could do nothing about it. Who would have guessed that the boy had such good acting skills. It was a pity if he was not scouted been to be a child star in Scott’s Remembrance Cultural Arts Entertainment. Speaking of which, he had to admit that he was impressed with Brad’s wit. He was too smart. If he found a patient, even if Adery could not cure that patient, she should be able to tell what was wrong with them. Besides, if that was really a patient, if Adery could not cure the patient, Merrick would definitely be unable to cure th
He made it sound so simple.Brad secretly smiled. It was useless even if Thomas inserted more needles!Thomas took a few needles and inserted them in a few acupuncture points on the kid’s body. After the needles were placed… the kid did not show any response!Thomas revealed a “surprised” expression, and he appeared to be in disbelief.“It’s impossible. This can’t happen.“My acupuncture technique wouldn’t go wrong.“Why doesn’t he have a response? This is strange.”Thomas looked gloomy. He took out the needles one by one, and his face was full of bitterness as well as confusion.The lady anxiously asked, “Dr. Mayo, what’s wrong with my kid? Please say something.”Thomas sighed deeply. “Ah, I’m sorry. I couldn’t do anything.”He got up and walked away wearily.This time, the room burst into a ruckus.He had been bragging earlier, but he was actually not capable at all? He had inserted a few needles, but the kid did not move in the slightest or respond. Thomas Mayo was just
That lady shouted, “My kid is dying. All of you, stop wasting time. If you can treat him, please do it quickly!”Brad frowned and asked everyone, “What do all of you think?”Among the crowds, Thomas nearly laughed out loud. Brad really played the role of “hypocrite” so well.He had already said that, and the lady’s kid was also a very urgent case.If it was possible, of course, he had to try. How could they stop him?Brad did this because he wanted to make Merrick’s action sound perfectly justifiable. He could compliment Merrick without humiliating the doctors in the room.Brad was also considered a talented man based on how sophisticated he was.What could everyone else still say? All of them nodded.“Just let him treat the kid. Whether he can succeed or not, it’s good to just give it a try.”“Yes, we support Mr. Dawson.”Brad exhaled and bowed to everyone. “If that’s the case, I thank everyone on my son’s behalf. Thank you for putting up with his arrogance. Thank you!”“Ga
“Are you leaving?”“Yeah.”“Don’t rush. Let’s watch them a little longer.”Adery felt slightly angry. “What else do you still want to see? Watch how they act or watch how they insult the Owen family?”“Neither of those.”Thomas cast a glance at his watch and nonchalantly said, “It won’t take more than thirty seconds for the good show to start.”Adery frowned. She still did not understand what Thomas was doing.On the other side, everyone kept complimenting and flattering Merrick. They nearly called Merrick, “Daddy.”Meanwhile, the Owen family had become a stepping stone.The people flattered one person while they criticized another.The Owen family was totally over, and there would be no space for them.Right then, for some reason, the kid who had initially been cured suddenly yelled in a strange manner. Then, he fell down on the floor with a thud! He did not move at all, and he lost consciousness.“Baby?”The sudden change shocked the lady, and she quickly went over to ch
Brad sat for a long time, but he did not have an answer. It made the lady so anxious that she kept jumping up and down.“Mr. Dawson, can you really do it?“What’s wrong with my son?”Brad was already irritated, and he was also being urged by the lady, so he felt more upset.“Shut up!”The lady became flustered as a result. She gritted her teeth and glared at Brad. There was a nervous air in the atmosphere.At this time, Thomas spoke in a casual fashion as if he was not afraid of making a big scene. “Is there a problem with the medicinal fluid he drank just now?”His words snapped everyone out of their daze.“Medicine?“Yes, it’s because of the medicinal fluid!”The lady pointed at Merrick and said, “What medicine did you feed my son?”Merrick’s face turned red. How could he say it? Did it not mean that he would expose himself once he said it?He coughed. “We’ll talk about this later.”The lady got angry. “What do you mean by we’ll talk about this later? My son is dying! Wh
Before he finished speaking, the wind blew, and Thomas appeared to be still. Yet, all the security guards covered their bellies and knelt halfway on the floor. They had pained expressions..However, they were physically strong. If they were normal people, they would have fainted.Thomas’ punches were not light.Brad secretly felt terrified. He just knew that Thomas had outstanding medical skills, but he did not know that Thomas would be so good at martial arts.Right then, the lady behind Thomas, who had initially been angry, became bold.“Brad Dawson, how dare you be so ungrateful! Are you pushing me into a corner now?“Okay, since you’re so heartless, don’t blame me for being disloyal!”She turned around and spoke loudly to all the doctors in the room, “Let me tell you something. Brad and Merrick Dawson, the people whom you thought were righteous, are actually hypocrites!“My son was not sick, but I received $50,000 from them to collaborate in an act.“So, I allowed my son t
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
