Frog chuckled. “You just said what Larry has said. You just picked up the sentence from him and passed it off as yours. How shameless.”Thomas did not get angry. He just smiled faintly as he quietly stood still.Larry walked to the car and continued to say, “Actually, I taught Frog about this a long time ago. It’s actually very particular about when you should turn the corner.”Then, Larry analyzed the roads and cars meticulously before he explained every step in a very detailed way as if it was a perfect geometric formula.One set was continued with another.It could be said that theoretically, as long as Maya practiced according to his teachings, she would be able to turn the corner perfectly.Maya also flashed a satisfied smile. She had to say that as the leader, Larry was not too bad. As long as she could master his formula theory, she could definitely be the top expert.But… Thomas smiled faintly as he shook his head, and he had a different opinion about Larry’s analysis.
Larry was very satisfied with Maya’s suggestion.Because there was almost no way he could lose!Who would refuse to help Larry when the entire squad on the scene was on his side? If two people were chosen at random, the one representing Thomas would surely lose on purpose. In this case, how would Thomas win?“Hmm, this isn't a bad suggestion,” Larry stated with a nod. “Since we're competing on theoretical knowledge, we should put it into practice, so I'm not going to do it myself. What do you think, Thomas? Do you have the courage to compete?”“Okay, I have no objections.” Thomas agreed with a nod.The main issue now was, which two people should they choose?Maya took the initiative, stood forward, and said, “There’s no need to go and find someone on purpose, so just me and Frog? Both of us happen to have issues when heading into a bend. I’ll represent Thomas and Frog will represent Larry. How’s that?”Larry’s face fell.If there was anyone here who would not lose on purpose, t
Frog followed Larry’s theory and tried to find a perfect timing to enter the bend, but due to his clumsiness and talent that was not as good as Larry, even though he knew the theory perfectly well, he still faced some problems while actually performing it.He entered the bend a little too early.This turn received merely 85 marks, which was not good enough but considerably better than the previous ones.“Frog's abilities are still lacking, but they are enough to easily beat Maya,” Larry said with disdain.“Is it?”Thomas’s voice immediately brought Larry back to reality.To their surprise they saw that Maya’s car had entered the bend first! She was a step ahead and blocked the inner side of the track.Despite the fact that Frog entered the bend according to the best timing, he was a step late to get into the inner side of the track. By now it was too late to steal the spot, but if he forced his way in, then the rear end of his car would surely collide with Maya’s car.It was ve
All of the conditions were beneficial to Larry, yet the results caused everyone to stare with their tongue-tied.Never in Larry’s wildest dreams would he imagine that a pro racer like Frog would actually lose to a race team manager, this was simply humiliating!The most important thing was that Frog had lost after receiving lessons from Larry.What does this mean?This implied Larry’s teaching ability was inadequate, and his theory was flawed!And as captain, this time he would surely be looked down upon by the other team members, and his position was no longer secure.Larry gritted his teeth and placed all the blame on Thomas. If it were not for Thomas, he would not have come to this point, everything was Thomas’s fault!On the race circuit, the two cars were still racing at tremendous speeds.However, there was no chance for Frog to catch up again, in fact, the distance lengthened even more.Maya used a different technique to perform the turn every time, and she made appropr
However, based on his current hesitation, at least he did not like Maya to the point of heroically sacrificing himself for her.The roaring noise was getting closer and closer.It would be extremely easy for Thomas to dodge it, but what about Maya?Maya's face had turned pale from fear, and she could not move as if her two feet were nailed to the floor.Watching as she was about to lose her life.At lighting speed, Thomas grabbed Maya’s waist with one arm, leaped, and both of them were in the air, with their bodies horizontally hanging in mid-air.The Ferrari sports car zoomed under the both of them at high speed.The whole process took nearly only 0.5 seconds, there was barely enough time to blink while the Ferrari sped through and practically brushed against Thomas’s back.Boom!!!The car sped by.Thomas held Maya in his arms as they fell heavily on the floor.In order to avoid hurting Maya, Thomas had allowed himself to serve as a cushion, reducing Maya's injury as they l
Thomas did not know whether to cry or laugh, he clearly was the victim here.Frog was the one who wanted to crash the car into him but ended up hurting himself instead, which is why he had reached this point.Thomas did not blame Frog, and it was already pretty nice of him to come forward and offer to help treat him, but instead, he was labeled as a pretentious jerk who ‘shed crocodile tears’.He really did not know how to prove his point.Larry truly felt envious of Thomas. In every aspect, he was inferior to Thomas, from driving skills to medical skills. Even when Maya was in danger, it was also Thomas who had come to her rescue.Larry looked like an idiot when such a man existed.Of course, he would be annoyed and jealous. So, he would have Frog die than agree for Thomas to save him.Brotherhood be damned, hah!Larry carried Frog into another car then drove the car himself, heading towards the nearest Grade A hospital. Maya, too, had driven her car and followed them along
“If you can’t figure it out, come to me, I’ll wait for you here.”Harry Johnson smiled. “Come to you? Who do you think you are? Can’t you look at yourself in the mirror? You’re really drunk.”Harry became an attending physician at a young age, and he was a well-known genius. These achievements naturally made him become arrogant.With his arrogant character, how could he ask a “layman” for help?Harry turned around and walked away.Meanwhile, Thomas was saying something rather confusing, “There is still an hour left to treat the patient. If the patient doesn’t receive timely treatment, he will never be able to wake up again.”Harry snickered when he heard that.‘The patient can’t wake up anymore?’According to Harry’s estimation, Frog should have woken up long ago. Apart from being a little weak physically, this should not affect him much.After all, he was just wounded with a small cut and fainted. ‘What’s all the fuss about?’So he did not take Thomas’ words to heart at all.
After a while, Harry walked into the operating theater with a nurse who was ‘fully equipped’ and had a sturdy physique. Larry and Maya glanced at each other, and they were both a little confused.‘Since when did the hospital hire such a nurse with a sturdy physique?‘But this is not important, what is important is whether he can save Frog.’They walked into the operating theater and shut the door.Thomas walked to the hospital bed, checked Frog’s current physical status, and then took out a row of silver needles.Harry said silently, “Hey, are you using these toys to save a person’s life?”“Yes.”“What do you mean? Are these life-saving tools? Can you stop making fun of me?”Thomas said lightly, “If you don’t want the patient to die, just shut up for me.”Harry stared at Thomas.‘Okay, I’ll let you show off your skills.‘If you could cure the patient, everything would be fine. If you can't cure him, I’ll let you suffer!’The operating theater went quiet.Thomas used silver
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
