That lackey kicked William’s back, and it made William stagger as he walked forward. “Old man, you can leave now.”William cried as he walked toward Thomas.Thomas directly took out his dagger and cut off the coarse hemp rope. Then, he took out a handkerchief and wiped the dirt off William’s face.“Thomas, I’m so sorry for dragging you into this.” William’s voice sounded incredibly weak and feeble.“We’ll talk after we get back.”Right then, Thomas had to keep William safe above all else. Although Thomas also wanted to immediately teach the kidnappers a lesson, he still held back when he thought that it could put William in danger if he did that.He prioritized William’s safety first.He could slowly take revenge in the future.“I’ll just leave the money here.”Thomas threw the suitcase aside before he helped William to walk out of the site. Tripp’s lackey immediately moved forward to take the box.It initially should have ended there.But, how was it possible for the villai
Tripp did not want to wait any longer too when he saw that Thomas refused to surrender and join him. He waved his hand, and a few subordinates rushed forward.These lackeys dared not be careless after they saw the battle between Thomas and the pit bulls.Two people attacked him at the same time from the front and back. One of them held a dagger while the other held an ax. Both of them appeared ruthless and fierce.Just as they were about to get to Thomas, they heard some whizzing sounds.Two sharp arrows flew in the air.Pfft!Pfft!The arrows pierced their arms at the same time!The two of them dropped their weapons on the floor, and they were in so much pain that they knelt down on the floor and screamed. They could not help but cry nonstop.Arrows?Other gangsters were also stunned. Why was there an ambush?They raised their heads and wanted to look for the target. Then, a few sharp arrows were shot again with some whooshing sounds, and a few gangsters were injured.The
Tripp had brought more than twenty people, but Sagittarius had taken care of everyone alone.Tripp felt highly dissatisfied!Yet, what could he do even if he felt unhappy? He could not defeat Sagittarius at all because Sagittarius was too strong.While Tripp felt helpless, his phone rang.Ring! Ring!Sagittarius cast a glance at him and confidently said, “Answer it.”Answer it?William on the other side was shocked. “You can’t let him answer the call! What if he calls more bad people to come over?”Thomas chuckled. “Don’t worry. It’s fine.”He could tell that Sagittarius was already angry. In that state, Sagittarius could not be defeated by normal people, particularly when he still held a bow and arrows. Even someone like Thomas did not have full confidence in subduing Sagittarius, much less other people.Tripp reached out to answer the call.A young and impatient voice came from the other end of the call.“Tripp, how’s your side going?”“Bro, I’ve encountered some problem
When Tripp saw his boss coming, he was extremely happy. He quickly ran over, cried, and shouted, “Boss Mandrill, you have to help me out. These jerks beat up my members!”Mandrill did not look at him.Was being beaten up something honorable? This lad shouted so loudly.“All right, move aside.“I’ll help you to exact revenge!”He took a puff as he looked in Thomas’ direction. He vaguely felt that he had seen that figure somewhere, and he found it a little familiar.Hmm? At this time, Thomas turned around and faced Mandrill.The moment they stared at each other, Mandrill was totally dumbfounded. The cigarette dropped off his hand and a gray arc was drawn in the air. This guy?Mandrill was completely stunned. No matter how long he thought, he would not have expected that the person he needed to deal with was Thomas.How could he deal with Thomas?He had experienced Thomas’ extremely agile movement on the high-speed rail.The Four Guardian Warriors under Mandrill were even k
Mandrill was sweating. Who would settle who?He cast a glance at the people behind him. Four Guardian Warriors shook their heads to acknowledge that they were not willing to fight with Thomas. They had not gotten rid of the nightmare last time, so they did not want to experience it again.Mandrill sighed, and he helplessly said, “I’m sorry, it’s my fault. Please leave. I’ll teach my people how to behave later.”His words made Tripp so shocked.Mandrill was always so arrogant like a big boss, but would he actually give in to someone?He looked like a little ghost that saw the King of Hell.What happened? Was this young man really so terrifying?Tripp subconsciously gasped. He even said he wanted this man to join his team. Haha! Even his boss also dared not approach this man, so who was he to recruit this man as his lackey?This was the biggest joke ever!William could also tell that Mandrill was just a toothless tiger, and he dared not fart in front of Thomas.Therefore, he al
The convertible sports car sped on the wide asphalt road toward the hotel.In the car...William felt extremely happy. He took a deep breath to inhale some fresh air before he said to Thomas, “I really thought I would die back there. There’s basically no way to stay alive once they capture you. I was most afraid of Adery coming over to rescue me. If she was also dragged into this, I would not die peacefully.“Luckily you’re here, Thomas. If it’s not because of you, I really couldn’t survive. You’re my savior. This time, I really don’t know how I should repay your kindness.“If this is not sufficient, I can even let Adery be your second wife, your concubine!”Pfft!Thomas nearly lost control of the steering wheel. If Emma heard that, she would kill him.“No, it’s okay.”He chuckled and said, “Mr. Owen, you’re Stone’s father. Stone is my brother. On the west coast, he had rescued my life countless times. Without Stone, I would’ve died due to sickness and injuries. He passed away,
He paused for a while before he asked, “All right, where are we going now?”Thomas smiled faintly as he answered, “We’re heading back to the hotel to meet up with Adery.”“Adery’s here?”“Yes, she felt worried being in the Southland District alone, so she insisted on coming over. Currently, I have her settled down in the hotel.”“Oh, let’s go back quickly and report my safety so that she can be relieved.”“Okay!”He stepped more on the accelerator and increased the speed of the car. Then, the car was driven speedily.…… In the hotel.After Adery woke up, she realized that she was the only one left in the room. So, she knew that Thomas had departed to rescue her father.She felt worked up, but she could not do anything with it.She could only wait.She had waited for a few hours, yet she did not see them coming back. She felt worked up and hungry, so she took the key and left the room before she arrived in the lobby on the hotel’s first floor.Adery left the hotel, found a
The waiter nodded like he deserved some punches. Then, he said in a firm tone, “Yes, in our restaurant, each shrimp is considered one set.”He appeared very gentle, but his words were really rude!Twenty thousand dollars was actually nothing for someone from a good background like Adery, and she could totally afford it. The problem was, even if she could afford it, it did not mean that she should be charged for nothing!She understood it.This restaurant purposely cheated foreign visitors who looked quite rich.For one, foreign visitors did not have any help there. Plus, they would not want to get into trouble, so they would just let it go. Therefore, most of them would just grit their teeth and close one eye.But Adery refused to let it go!She was born to be stubborn. How could she suffer this kind of loss?She said with an unfriendly tone, “You’re increasing the price and purposely deceiving the customers! I’m now calling the Department of Internal Trade to ask how you fix 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
