Then, Thomas drove and arrived at the Ferrari motorcade training camp under Edith’s guidance.Thomas met all the official F1 members of Ferrari there.All drivers here were top experts without any hesitation, and the driving skills of normal people were not comparable to them.Edith introduced them, “Come, let me introduce to all of you. This is Mr. Thomas Mayo. He is my savior. Besides, he is also an excellent driver. I decided to sign a contract with Mr. Mayo to let him become a part of the Fire Crown Motorcade!”Everyone was stunned.Their expressions looked very strange. They felt puzzled before they became angry.The leader of the motorcade, Larry Beckett said, “Mr. Barlow, are you kidding us? You let a doctor be the professional driver? Yes, his medical skills are incredible. I also feel admired when he can treat Mr. Barlow.“But, as the saying goes, different professions have different expertise. After all, Thomas is just a doctor. You let him join the team, isn’t this an
Thomas was not angry at this kind of rude request. He just indifferently asked, “Reason?”Larry sneered. “Professional drivers like us compete with skills, not the performance of the car! If you always drive such a good car, you’ll develop a bad habit of relying on the car's performance, and you won’t be able to change the habit!“So, I want you to learn from the basics. Do you understand?”He made it sound very dignified, and Thomas had to say it was quite reasonable.Thomas never opposed reasonable things.“What car should I drive then?”“Um…” Larry pondered for a while before he flashed a sly smile. He reached out to point at a silvery black sports car at the side. “Don’t you like to drive a Ferrari 458? That’s the car. You can drive it.”People around chuckled.The Ferrari 458 was a product a few years ago. Compared to their performances, its engine was not comparable with the latest generation.Just like the car that Edith gave to Thomas. It was also based on the 458.
Maya was just a manager, but her racing skills were quite outstanding. Besides, her car consisted of the latest accessories. So, the 458 was not comparable to her car.Therefore, she was confident that she could catch up with the 458 in front.Just as Maya expected, her car performance was very good and the power was incredibly strong. It looked like she was going to catch up to the 458.While turning the corner, though, the speed of the 458 increased instead of decreasing!“Is Larry mad?“Why does he increase the speed when turning the corner? What does he want to do?”Maya dared not fuss with the 458, so she quickly stepped on the accelerator and reduced the speed while turning the corner. Then, she saw the most surprising scene in her life.Under the evening sun’s reflection, the silvery black Ferrari 458 drifted to turn the corner speedily like the wind!The car retained the highest speed. After it successfully turned the corner, it instantly moved out like a wild horse tha
It piqued Maya's curiosity right away, because they had not had a new member join the race team for a long while.“What’s your name? Which race team were you on before this?” Maya asked.Not waiting for Thomas to answer, Larry replied coldly, “He’s Thomas, and he was a doctor before this!”“A doctor?”“Yeah, I’m not sure what Mr. Barlow was thinking, literally allowing an amateur into the team, tsk.” But Maya did not really mind it, so she smiled and said, “You have to hang in there, Thomas. Although you are not a professional, if you practice properly, then I believe you can get to be on the track one day.”While the people were happily eating and chatting, waves of honks approached them.More than a dozen super race cars drove into the training grounds and parked there.These cars, without exception, were all Lamborghinis! All the car doors opened, and one by one, strong men walked out of the cars. They were the Lamborghini race team's official teammates!Among them, the
Larry shrugged. “I cannot count how many times I have driven this road, are you sure you want to compete in my domain, Matthew? Are you sure you are not playing with fire?”“Hoho, Larry, today I will show you what true ability is!” Both of them got into their respective cars.After hearing the whistle, both the Ferrari and Lamborghini took off at the same time. The loud engine noises instantly sparked the excitement of all the racers on the scene.Both cars were really fast.Because the automotive hardware of both cars was similar, their speed was nearly the same when driving in a straight line.However, it changed when they started approaching a curve.Although Matthew was an aggressive and arrogant person, he had excellent skills. Every time he drove into a bend, he did so with absolute control and precision. Decelerating, cornering, accelerating, and boosts were all done in one fluid motion, leaving no room for errors.Larry was not terrible either, but it was like the diff
Larry's face was as ugly as a pig's liver. He had previously looked down on Matthew, swearing that he would beat him in the race, but what happened?They had wiped the floor with his face!That was incredibly humiliating.And especially having embarrassed himself in front of Maya, he felt like dying on the spot.Maya was also very awkward.A bet was still a bet, so she was supposed to call her dad and tell him to come over, but if she really did, the Ferrari race team's dignity would be ruined!But what would they be if she did not make this call?A race team that did not keep their word would become the laughing stock of all the racers from the entire racing world.With much difficulty, Maya fished out her phone and reluctantly opened up her call log. Larry, who was beside her, could not utter a single word as he was the one who had caused all this to happen due to his incompetent skills. Argh!!!Just as Maya was about to make the call, a strong hand pushed her phone down.
What he meant was that, because Edith admired Thomas's driving skills, so he was making an exception and offering him to join the team.“Okay, let’s see what you got! Come on, I’ll challenge you in one race.”“Wait.”“What more do you want?” Matthew asked.Thomas shrunk his left arm inside his clothes, told someone to remove one of his shoelaces and used it to tie up the loose end of his left sleeve. As a result, Thomas was now ‘one-armed’.“Okay, let’s start,” Thomas said calmly.“Huh?“What are you doing? Do you want to compete with me in that condition?” Matthew asked with suspicion.Thomas nodded and said, “Your skills are too poor, if I compete with both arms, it will be unfair to you. So, to play fair, I’ll go easy on you and use only one arm.”“......”No one in the whole crowd was able to say a single word.Thomas, a rookie, a newbie ex-doctor who just switched fields, was not he a bit too insane?His opponent was a professional Formula One racer with exceptional ab
In the full blaze of publicity, Thomas drove the out-of-date ‘vintage car’ and proceeded to race with Matthew.Not only did he go easy with one arm, now he even went easy by using an older car. Thomas really had no regards for Matthew.Following the sound of the whistle, the two cars revved one after the other. With the Lamborghini's high performance and the engine running at full power, the car zoomed out in the blink of an eye! The Ferrari 458, on the other hand, got off to a slow and languid start.Just from the start he was half a beat slower than others.Larry covered his eyes and said, “That idiot! The race hasn’t even started yet he was already half a beat slower, how would he be able to catch up after?”It was just like what he had said.There was totally no contest between the two cars. The Lamborghini's engine noises pierced through the sky and as the car buzzed onward, it left a trail of sparks and lightning in its wake.The speed, was simply hard to describe.Matt
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
