Thomas and the others returned with heavy pockets. They had gained much from this trip to Stars KTV, and of course, the most exciting thing was Merrick screwing himself over.Even though Adery did not verbalize it, her heart was thrilled.Merrick had been ‘bullying' her all this time, and he had even terrorized her today. But now she finally saw him being punished.What goes around comes around. Nothing could be truer than that saying.The trio walked out and exited the karaoke.“Today was extremely satisfying. We first got Merrick to spend a ton of money on a knockoff, then we got the Asclepius Needle we wanted, and then we surprisingly got a liver as well. Before we left, we also received another huge gift, Sophia's great liveshow, hahaha, sweet!” William said, grinning.“That son of a turtle Merrick has finally earned the notoriety of millennium bastard. The Dawson family would be quite embarrassed.” They were chatting as they walked, and by the time they got outside, the su
After they left, two minivans followed them.A rich man who knew the inside story saw this sight, shook his head, and said, “Whew, that young man named Thomas has been targeted by the ‘Wealth Hunter’. He is definitely doomed.”Another rich man sitting next to him who often came here asked puzzledly, “What do you mean? What do you mean by ‘Wealth Hunter’?”“You have no idea that the young man wearing a suit just now is Nestor Bizinger. He is a well-known hunter of the wealthy in South City. Basically, he will be present for every auction, but his target is not the auction items, it’s the rich men.”“What do you mean?”“This means that he targets those rich men with a lot of money who know nothing better. After the target leaves Water Cloud’s area of influence, he will start robbing their money and auction items, or even murder them! His methods are extremely cruel.”“Is there such a thing?”“Why should I lie to you? In South City, he has a notorious reputation. Thomas was bidding
Everyone sat down in order. The waiter walked up with the menu. He did not get the chance to speak and he started trembling with fear when he saw Thomas’ face. Even the menu in his hand fell to the ground.Nestor was dissatisfied and said, “Why is the waiter here so clumsy?”Thomas waved his hand, indicating that he did not mind it at all.He also stooped down to pick up the menu and said to the waiter, “Your dishes here remain the same, right?”‘Same? What do you mean by that?’The waiter was completely confused. ‘What is Thomas doing? Perhaps he is not done with his previous quarrel. Do you want to continue to fight this time?’He said tremblingly, “Our dishes are clearly priced in the menu. We are equally honest to customers of all ages. We promise not to...”The waiter thought that they have corrected their mistakes in the past and would never do Thomas dirty again. However, Thomas seemed not to be too satisfied. He dropped some indirect hints. “I like your previous style as
There was silence at the scene all of a sudden.Nestor’s hands were frozen. With much effort, he turned his head to look at the waiter with an expression of disbelief.“What the heck costs two million, three hundred and thirty thousand dollars? What did I just eat?“So, are your leeks made of gold, or your bean sprouts inlaid with diamonds? Even gold and diamonds are not that expensive.“Are you trying to scheme me into falling into your trap?”In Nestor’s opinion, this meal could not have exceeded two hundred dollars. The most expensive dish was the sauteed duck priced at thirty-six dollars.That stir-fried mung bean sprout with leek cost only eighteen dollars; the stir-fried winkles with celery would only cost twenty-two dollars.The total price of all the dishes added up would not cost more than two hundred dollars.As a result, the waiter asked him to pay two million, three hundred and thirty thousand dollars. ‘Are we celebrating April Fool’s Day earlier this year? What kin
Thomas took a sip of wine, looked at Nestor with a smile, and said deliberately, “I just like the service of this restaurant. It’s very unique. Every time I eat here, it offers me a special enjoyment that I could not get in other places. Perhaps this is the distinguishing feature of South City, right?”After listening to Thomas’ statement, Nestor fell even more speechless.It was the first time he heard someone describing a dark store as a feature of the city.‘Indeed, it is so unique that it’s not one of a kind in South City, but in the whole country. Perhaps its uniqueness should be extended to the whole world, right?‘The salt here was actually charged particle by particle. Aha, nothing is too strange in this world, and I have gained new knowledge today.’Nestor secretly despised Thomas.‘Is the brain of this person broken? Or perhaps this is the way the wealthy waste their money?’At this time, Thomas asked, “Mr. Bizinger, you seem to be in a difficult situation, or else, le
When the shop owner noticed that Thomas appeared to be a foreigner and was speaking with a foreign accent, an evil thought arose in his mind.“Oh, sir, you have a good taste. You are looking at the treasure of our store. It is a blue and white porcelain bowl passed down during The Greek Empire of the Middle Ages. According to legend, this porcelain was used by Alexander the Great to drink wine every night, which makes it invaluable!”Everyone knew the shop owner was talking nonsense.Even a layperson like Adery could see that this porcelain bowl was absolutely a counterfeit and imitation.But Thomas seemed to behave like a ‘mental retard’. He said in amazement, “Was this the porcelain bowl used by Alexander the Great to drink wine every night?”“Ah, this porcelain bowl must be a great antique to have. Boss, how much are you selling it?”The shop owner raised a finger in a mysterious manner.“One million dollars? Oh, it’s really cheap!” Thomas said excitedly.His words stunned e
Nestor, who was still in sadness and despair, was completely stunned after hearing Thomas’ words.‘What does he mean?‘After spending my money to eat, drink and buy all sorts of things, you are saying that we are not suitable to be friends? Are you treating me like a fool and having a laugh?’He still maintained his courteous composure, forced a smile and asked, “Mr. Thomas, what do you mean by that?”Thomas said scornfully, “Oh, although you are a generous guy, I find that you have no talent in art at all. You have not expressed any of your opinions on art throughout the evening. Sorry, I will not be friends with people who are not artistic. Let’s just end our friendship for now.“From now onwards, please stop following me, bye.”“What!!!”‘I have seen some weird guys, but I haven’t met such an uncanny guy like him before.‘After spending tens of millions, he did not thank me at all. Instead, he was telling me that I am not artistic enough?‘This is not the key to the problem
She was still too pure, and it was only at that moment when she realized just how complicated South City was. If Thomas had not been around, she might have really treated Nestor like a good person and remained courteous to him. In the end, she would have led him to her own room, and things would have ended badly. Meanwhile, Nestor pointed at Thomas. “I did give you a chance. Today, as long as you give me one billion dollars, I will let this slide, or else—”Thomas immediately interrupted him and said, “Dream on. I’m not going to give you even a single penny.”Nestor’s expression turned even more unpleasant. “Boy, do you think you’re amazing just because your wallet is a little fuller than everyone else’s?“I’m telling you, this is South City. MY territory!“Look at how many subordinates I have. If you don’t want to die, hand over the money like a good boy, or else, the three of you aren’t even going to see the sun tomorrow!”Thomas sighed. He asked, “We live in a day and age
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
