“Mr. Owen, Adery, something’s truly strange!”William frowned and speculated, “If my guess is right, in the past, Asclepius was also a gifted person like Thomas and Stone. He also had the special Breath in his body. Asclepius made a set of needles based on his personal characteristics...“Which means only a person who has Breath can fully bring out the effects of the needles. If a regular person uses them, they will be no different from normal needles.”Adery said, “It sounds like the needles have been custom-made for Thomas.”“Theoretically, yes.”William caressed his beard. “Thomas, congratulations. With the help of this set of needles, I believe your medical skills will improve greatly. Many chapters in Acupuncture Skills are difficult to understand, but you’ll be able to study them now.”Thomas was excited too. He was a very calm person, so he would normally not get worked up by things, but when he obtained such a treasure, it was different.The set of Asclepius Needles wa
Faced with the sudden invitation, Adery’s heart instantly pounded.Should she say yes to him?Reject him?She clearly knew that he was married. She clearly knew that he had invited her just to complete the mission. She clearly knew that she was never in his mind.Her rationality told her that she should reject him, and she could not fall in love further.Yet, how could she reject an invitation from the man she loved?‘Just let me be capricious one more time.’‘Even if it’s just this once, I want to be his partner. It’s fine even if I deceive myself, and it’s okay even though it’ll only be one time. It’s enough to have experienced it once.’After Adery struggled with her complicated emotions, she nodded seriously.“Okay, it’s a yes from me!”After Thomas heard Adery’s reply, he finally sighed in relief.Then, the three of them chatted for a while before they went back to the room and rested. After a long night, they became good-spirited again and visited South City the next d
Thomas then opened the door, got out of the car, and indifferently asked, “What are you doing?”“What am I doing?” The muscular man fiercely said, “This parking space is mine. Hurry up and get out of here!”“I found this space first. I also parked my car first. How did it suddenly become yours? If you had the ability, you could have parked before me just now,” Thomas said coldly.The muscular man was stunned for a while.Actually, the muscular man was pretty good at driving. In that situation, he had been confident about getting the parking space.However, he did not expect Thomas to possess even better skills than him, and Thomas had parked his car faster than him.Since he was not as good as Thomas, he was naturally defeated.The muscular man instantly became speechless. At that moment, a woman who dressed coquettishly got out of the car. She stomped her foot and said, “The ball is starting soon. Why are you still wasting time here? Is there a parking space?”The muscular man
The muscular man put his hands into his pockets and did not care about what Thomas said. In his opinion, Thomas was not as strong as him, and his outfit did not appear to be as luxurious as his. Thomas looked exactly like trash.What was so scary about lame trash?Even if they fought, with the man’s figure and muscles, he should be able to easily defeat Thomas at any time.Therefore, what else should he be worried about?Thomas did not approach the muscular man either. Instead, he went up to the muscular man’s car.Then, Thomas turned sideways, raised his leg, and posed like a soccer player aiming for the goal. At the next second, he gave it a fierce kick while he yelled.He kicked the car right at the center.With a loud thud, the huge car was forcefully kicked about eight meters away in front of the muscular man and the coquettish woman!It hit another car in the front row.Was that something a human being could do?The muscular man still had his hands in his pockets, but his imposin
As soon as the receptionist finished talking, the smile on his face froze because he realized that something was wrong with this pair.The lady was fine. Not only was she decently dressed, but she was also very good looking. Her outfit was so gorgeous that she fitted the theme of the ball tonight.The key problem was with the man.The man was not considered filthy, but people could tell that his outfit was cheap with one look. From head to toe, none of his clothing items cost more than $200.His shoes looked like something he had gotten from a supermarket.How did such a poor guy get an invitation card?The invitation cards from Water Cloud were always given to rich and noble big shots. Those who attended the ball today were also proof of that.Looking at the other men, was there anyone who did not have on branded clothing?Forget the ones who were dressed up in luxurious branded clothes, even the most “plain” outfit there cost tens of thousands of dollars. Why would this man j
The rich men at the back stared at Thomas with contempt, and they were waiting for him to be humiliated.Before Thomas could say anything, Adery felt unhappy first.They had traveled there to attend the ball in excitement, but the organizer had stopped them at the door. What the heck was this?Her expression became cold as she said, “You were the one who sent the invitation card and invited us to this ball, in the first place. Yet, now you’re saying that we stole and snatched this invitation card from someone else. How could you do this to us? Worse comes to worst, we just won’t attend the ball anymore!”“Won’t attend? Haha.”The receptionist snapped his fingers, and about eight security guards immediately came forward.“Where do you think this is? This is Water Cloud! You can’t just come and go as you please.“If you don’t clarify this today, don’t dream about leaving.”Thomas frowned. The organizer was too overbearing.He asked, “What do I have to do for you to willingly bel
The receptionist immediately walked over, nodded, and bowed to Thomas. “I’m really sorry, Mr. Mayo. I really didn’t realize it was you. My eyes were blind. I was so ignorant that I failed to recognize you. I looked down on you. I…” Thomas gestured with his hand to get him to stop talking.The receptionist had done well. He had pretty good vocabulary as he could blurt out so many words at once.“All right, Mr. Mayo has asked you to go away. Don’t stand here and block us.”“Oh, okay, I’m leaving now.”The receptionist lowered his head, bowed, and ran away gloomily.The other man approached Thomas before he took the initiative to reach out and say, “I’m Caleb Waters. I’m Water Cloud’s young master.”Thomas nodded. So, this guy was the young master. No wonder the receptionist was so afraid of him.Water Cloud was considered almighty in South City as they controlled all kinds of power there. They existed as the local tyrant.As the young master, Caleb’s identity and social status
“Okay, let’s not stand at the entrance. Please step inside.” Caleb then led them in.Adery was holding Thomas’ arm tightly, and she was shaking a little.She whispered, “This man looks so scary. He doesn’t seem like a good person. Thomas, you have to be careful.”Thomas did not say anything else. He just led Adery in.His experiences all these years told him that there was really something wrong with Caleb. Thomas was clearly not the target of the invitation card he received, it was Adery.The other men in their surroundings gazed at them like they were watching a show, which only further proved it.After they entered the lobby, they seemed to step into another world.The place was like a palace. Its renovation was luxurious and breathtaking with beautifully carved structures, especially the huge crystal chandelier on top of their heads. It was inlaid with thousands of crystals, which refracted light, and it shone so brightly in the lobby.The chandelier was at least more than
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
