The night was dark, and the moon shone from the sky.Thomas walked into the bedroom, looked at Emma, and said with uncertainty, “I’ll take a shower first.”Take a shower?Emma stared at Thomas as he walked into the bathroom, and she felt anxious.She realized that something might be happening. Were they really going to do it tonight?She looked forward in fear. Honestly, she did not feel estrangement toward Thomas, so it was time to open up her mind. Nevertheless, when she thought about sleeping with Thomas, she subconsciously felt nervous.“Are we going to sleep together?“No way.“But, why am I looking forward to it?”Emma felt hesitant. A while later, Thomas finished his shower and walked out. She looked at Thomas who appeared spirited, and she instinctively got under the blanket.“Emma.”“Huh?”“I… I want…”The God of War was able to fight off one hundred enemies alone on the battlefield, but he was so nervous now that he could not utter a complete sentence.He inst
Maya instantly froze. Their relationship had ended before it even started.However, it was true that many women would eye on an excellent man like Thomas. So, he would have been taken by the time she acted.The three of them chatted freely while Larry brought his teammates over.The way they came in so aggressively indicated that they must have bad intentions.Frog reminded, “Boss, be careful. Larry, the jerk is wicked, and he has been unsatisfied with you since a long time ago. I don’t know what bad ideas he might be conjuring up to harm you again.”Larry heard his words very clearly.He scoffed. “Frog, how can you say that? I’m your leader, do you know that?”Frog booed.“To heck with you, leader. You’re trash. You have no skills and moral standards.“In my opinion, Thomas is good enough for the leader spot!”Larry’s expression instantly changed. “How dare you! Are you going against me? Frog, you dare to talk to me like this now? Go and clean up the restroom!”Frog gritted
A small bar at the roadside.Thomas directly sat down and ordered a set of twenty chicken wings as well as a bottle of Coca-Cola.Frog sat beside Thomas and also ordered another set of chicken wings. He ate while he angrily said, “Why is Larry, the jerk so arrogant? Let’s see how he’ll win tonight. The Lamborghini motorcade will teach him and his terrible skills lesson.”Thomas remained silent and just ate the chicken wings.He was thinking.Frog curiously asked, “Boss Tom, what do you plan to do?”Thomas questioned him instead of answering, “Do you know the venue for the tournament tonight?”“Yeah.”“Bring me there.”“Huh? Boss, don’t tell me you still want to help the Ferrari motorcade?”Thomas nodded. “Mr. Barlow did me a favor. I can’t forget his kindness.”“But Larry…” “Rest assured, I know what to do.”Thomas’ gaze did not show a hint of confusion. He ate his chicken wings in a relaxed fashion as if everything was under control.The sky turned dark very quickly.T
As more motorcades had arrived in the venue, the atmosphere instantly lit up. Everyone desperately wanted the race to start as soon as possible.Finally, after the clock ticked twenty times, the tournament on Mount Disc officially started!Ten cars were arranged in two rows.Hummingbird did not bother to grab the slot in the first row, and he directly parked his car in the last row. He was pretty confident that he would be able to win the championship based on his ability even if he departed as the last car.Larry similarly got into his car.The race officially started as soon as the referee blew the whistle!Ten cars instantly rushed out like wild horses, and they were impressively fast.Larry immediately stepped on the accelerator.The mountain road was bumpy and rugged, and there were many curved roads. Visibility at night was not clear, so the difficulty of driving there was extremely high.Despite the many restrictions, the ten cars could still catch up to each other tigh
Matthew’s shouting stimulated sympathetic responses from the audience in the venue. Everyone screamed and shouted together to ask Larry to leave the race. It even involved the whole Ferrari motorcade.In such a situation, even if the Ferrari motorcade won that night, it would be hard to convince everyone.Maya saw the situation and felt worked up. If they won through such means tonight, the dignity of the motorcade would totally fade, and the Ferrari motorcade would become a joke among other motorcades.If her father knew about this, he would scold her fiercely.Among the crowd, two men quietly stared at the screen without a word. They were Thomas and Frog, who had come to watch the race with the rest.Frog said with contempt, “I knew that Larry, the loser didn’t have any good ideas. His poor skills would definitely rank last among the ten leaders, and he would definitely not win if he competed normally. Haha! He must have known that he could not win, so he started to play tricks.
The race continued.Since Hummingbird occupied the first place, the other two cars found it difficult to surpass him. He was left behind, and there was not much difference between their distances.They could tell that Hummingbird had purposely slowed down to play with the other two team leaders.Only with his capability to defeat other racers could he reach this realm.In a short while, three cars moved past the finish line one after another. Hummingbird obtained first place without a doubt, and he retained his title as the best racer. He also helped Lamborghini be the champion of the tournament, and they controlled the rights of the F1 race.For a time, they were in the limelight.Other motorcades were all right. They knew that they would lose to Hummingbird, so they did not feel too frustrated.Only the Ferrari motorcade was completely defeated.They not only lost the race, but they even lost in terms of moral standards. After the race, all their team members were strongly cr
The audience felt puzzled. Who was this man? He dared to make a scene there.“Lad, who are you? Why are you talking here? Do you have the right to speak?”“I guess he is also trash from the Ferrari motorcade, right?”“Haha, they’re just birds of a feather.”However, Matthew’s gaze changed. His gaze was filled with excitement and happiness. He did not care about Larry anymore as he directly walked to Thomas.“I knew you would come!”Thomas smoked and nonchalantly said, “Give me a chance. If I can openly defeat Hummingbird, don’t go against the Ferrari motorcade anymore. Okay?” Before Matthew spoke, Hummingbird walked over.He stared at Thomas for a few seconds and asked, “Are you the person who defeated Matthew last time?”“Yeah, it’s me.”“Okay, I’ve been waiting for you, Thomas!” Hummingbird raised his voice and said, “Let’s participate in a match. If you can defeat me, we won’t go against the Ferrari motorcade. We’ll also give decision-making rights to you and recognize th
Matthew had also surpassed Thomas, but he had still lost in the end, right?Racers did not compete over the strength of their cars’ performance. Instead, it was to compete over the strength of their racing skills, and the place to show their racing skills the most was in curved lanes!Now, they were in the curved lane.There were a lot of curved lanes on Mount Disc. After driving through the initial straight lane, there would be a lot of curved lanes that took people by surprise.Hummingbird slowed down and made the turn in his standard way.Whether it was the time it took to make the turn or the choice of the route, it was so precise like being analyzed by a computer, and it was flawlessly accurate.The audience put their thumbs up after they saw it.It was such an awesome way to make the turn, and he was definitely an advanced racer. Nobody was able to surpass him.“The Ferrari will lose.”However, Matthew did not think so. He was waiting for the signature moves.It was goi
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
