In the morning, Thomas arrived in the most luxurious hotel in the Southland District alone, and he booked a big private room that could accommodate up to twenty people.At the same time, he arranged for the chef to start preparing food.Today, he had decided to do something.He took out his phone and gave Samson a call.“Hello, Boss, do you have any instructions for me?”Thomas remained silent for a while before he said in a deep voice, “Help me call the head of every department over. I’ll give you the exact location later.”Samson was shocked. “Boss, what are you planning to do?”Thomas let out a long sigh.“I’ve been in the Southland District for so long, but I haven’t shown myself in public before. It’s time to show up and arrange some work.”After Samson heard this, something felt off to him. He had been working with Thomas for so many years, so he knew Thomas’ character very well.“Boss, are you planning… to quit?”Thomas laughed. “You understand me so well.”“No, Boss
In an instant, blood flowed out and he fainted.Thomas calmly sat there while he held a cup of tea as if nothing had happened.After a while, somebody walked in again.This time, an old man walked in. His hair was gray, and he was dressed in a professional suit. One could tell that he was not a normal person.The old man cast a glance at the muscular man on the floor before he caressed his beard and said, “What a good fighter.”Thomas took a look at him. “We don’t know each other, right?”“No, we don’t.”“You can leave now. I have a business lunch today. I didn’t invite you.”The old man scoffed. “No matter who you are meeting today, you won’t be able to meet them. You have to come with me.”Thomas was stunned. “Oh? You sound so arrogant.”The old man raised his head and said with contempt, “Sound so arrogant? Haha! Are members of the Martin family considered arrogant?”The Martin family?Thomas frowned. “Which Martin family?”“Does another Martin family exist?”The old m
Thomas looked extremely confident, and it surprised the old man. He wondered if this man really did not know about the Martin family’s power or he was just faking it?The old man caressed his beard. “You’re so ignorant. I’ll teach you how great the Martin family is today!”As he spoke, a man walked into the private room.He was the head of the police force, Angus.He immediately saw the old man and secretly thought, ‘Why did the chief officer in charge invite the members of the Martin family? What is he planning to do?’Angus, who did not know what had happened, walked over and respectfully said to the old man, “Mr. Davies, what made you come here as well?”The old man turned back and looked. He knew this man.“Oh, I thought only a few junior police officers came. I didn’t expect to see you here, Angus.“Angus, you’re really serious and hardworking. You even personally do everything on your own work.”Angus secretly thought, ‘The chief officer in charge personally asked him to
He wanted to torment Angus in front of Thomas today. He wanted to let Thomas know his ability and show off.Angus would just put up with the old man on usual days.But today was different.Angus chuckled. He pointed inside and said, “Did the person say that he didn’t believe you?”The old man nodded. “Yeah, he is so ignorant that he doesn’t know how great the Martin family is. Angus, just show him—” Before the old man spoke further, Angus raised his hand and gestured to him to not speak again.Then, Angus maintained his smile and showed a cold expression. “Davies, you’re not young anymore. Why are you so unruly?” he said in an unfriendly manner.Huh?The old man was instantly stunned.How could he talk like that? Was Angus insane? How dare he talk to him with such an attitude?“Angus Mason!”“Mr. Davies!” Angus yelled angrily, “we are the people’s police. We protect the people’s rights, not just the Martin family’s. Today, you don’t have any reason to bring the man inside a
Angus walked into the private room only after the old man was arrested.He also dared not sit down. He just stood beside Thomas and said, “Mr. Mayo, have you decided how to take care of those people?”Thomas chuckled. “They are just lackeys, so it’s useless to arrest them. Why don’t we do this? Leak some news and say that Mr. Davies, as well as his lackeys, were arrested. That way, we can find out the authority behind them.”Angus frowned.“Mr. Mayo, the Martin family in Central City is behind this.“If we do too much, I’m afraid that we’ll get into unnecessary trouble.”Thomas glanced at him coldly. “Angus Mason, you’re a police officer. How can you still be afraid of criminals?”His words made Angus so scared that he broke out in cold sweat.Angus quickly lowered his head and said, “I’m sorry. It’s all my fault. I’ll follow your instructions. Over the years, the Martin family has been committing crimes in the Southland District with their power in Central City, and nobody has
“Hello, Mr. Norris, what is it?”Justis directly scolded him. “What is it? Angus Mason, how can you do things like this? You dared to arrest the Martin family members. You’re insane!“I’m ordering you to release them immediately. Bring your team back later. I want to settle this with you.“Do you understand?”He initially thought that he could take care of things with just a few sentences, but a mishap happened.On the other end of the call, Angus fearlessly said, “Mr. Norris, I arrested them according to the law, and I did nothing wrong. But, you didn’t ask for my reason before you directly asked me to release them. Haha! Are you colluding with the Martin family?”Justis nearly fainted from anger.Was this the attitude of a subordinate when talking to his superior?“What’s wrong with you today?!” he yelled angrily.“Nothing is wrong. The Martin family members are suspected of a crime. They wanted to catch someone and punish him on their own. So, I arrested all these criminals
He knew the person in the room. It was the chief officer in charge of the Southland District, Thomas Mayo!This man had the highest authority in the Southland District.Even if the head of the Martin family came, Thomas would not be bothered by him, let alone a mere branch of the Martin family’s power.Justis finally realized why Angus had been abnormal today. He would rather oppose Justis and protect the person in the room.Haha! Did Thomas need his protection?Angus did not really want to protect Thomas, but he chose to take Thomas’ side. He had chosen his side on time.Meanwhile, Justis had been extremely stupid.Actually, he should have thought about this. Angus was a brilliant person. How would it be possible for him to do a ridiculous thing like stand up against the Martin family?There had to be an extraordinary reason behind his actions since he had gone through with them.Justis finally knew the reason now.He sat on the floor and wiped the cold sweat off his forehea
“Really?”“Yes!” “Okay, go and release the Martin family members now. Then, bring me to the Martin family’s villa.”“Huh?”Justis was stunned once again. What did Thomas mean? Was he trying to test him?He immediately apologized.“Mr. Mayo, I’m really sorry. I really dare not disrespect you, so please don’t trouble me anymore.”Thomas said, “Why are you so nervous? I’m not going to the villa just to go after you. I just want to see the owner of the villa.”“You mean, you want to see the Martin family’s madam, Britney Carter?”“Yes, I want to see what kind of woman she is that she can even order you.”Justis’ complexion turned red.Actually, Britney had not ordered him. It had been the Martin family.Thomas stood up and walked out of the private room with Justis.He really wanted to meet Britney Carter. He wanted to see why this Madam was so imposing, and he also wanted to discover the reason for this incident.He did not have a conflict with the Martin family, so why did
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
