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, âDid the person say that he didnât believe you?âThe old man nodded. âYeah, he is so ignorant that he doesnât know how great the Martin family is. Angus, just show himââ 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. âDavies, youâre not young anymore. Why are you so unruly?â 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?âAngus Mason!ââMr. Davies!â Angus yelled angrily, âwe are the peopleâs police. We protect the peopleâs rights, not just the Martin familyâs. Today, you donât 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, âMr. Mayo, have you decided how to take care of those people?âThomas chuckled. âThey are just lackeys, so itâs useless to arrest them. Why donât 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.âAngus frowned.âMr. Mayo, the Martin family in Central City is behind this.âIf we do too much, Iâm afraid that weâll get into unnecessary trouble.âThomas glanced at him coldly. âAngus Mason, youâre a police officer. How can you still be afraid of criminals?âHis words made Angus so scared that he broke out in cold sweat.Angus quickly lowered his head and said, âIâm sorry. Itâs all my fault. Iâll 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
âHello, Mr. Norris, what is it?âJustis directly scolded him. âWhat is it? Angus Mason, how can you do things like this? You dared to arrest the Martin family members. Youâre insane!âIâm ordering you to release them immediately. Bring your team back later. I want to settle this with you.âDo you understand?âHe 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, âMr. Norris, I arrested them according to the law, and I did nothing wrong. But, you didnât ask for my reason before you directly asked me to release them. Haha! Are you colluding with the Martin family?âJustis nearly fainted from anger.Was this the attitude of a subordinate when talking to his superior?âWhatâs wrong with you today?!â he yelled angrily.âNothing 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 familyâs 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 Thomasâ 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
âReally?ââYes!â âOkay, go and release the Martin family members now. Then, bring me to the Martin familyâs villa.ââHuh?âJustis was stunned once again. What did Thomas mean? Was he trying to test him?He immediately apologized.âMr. Mayo, Iâm really sorry. I really dare not disrespect you, so please donât trouble me anymore.âThomas said, âWhy are you so nervous? Iâm not going to the villa just to go after you. I just want to see the owner of the villa.ââYou mean, you want to see the Martin familyâs madam, Britney Carter?ââYes, I want to see what kind of woman she is that she can even order you.âJustisâ 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
When the people in the living room heard Mr. Daviesâ voice, they felt extremely happy, especially the Hill siblings. They had been worried about this matter. They were afraid that Thomas would play a dirty trick again. Luckily, Mr. Norris was supportive enough to successfully escort Thomas back there. When Thomas walked into the house and saw the Hill siblings, he understood what was going on without a need for them to say anything.Previously, he did not understand why the Martin family would hate him.But when he saw the Hill siblings, everything became clear to him in an instant.He did not need to think about it. Lucas and Jade must have gone to the Martin familyâs madam. They must have used some methods to make the Martin family stand against him.What methods did they use?Thomas looked at Lucas. At the same time, he saw Britney holding Lucasâ hand and sticking to Lucas. They looked like a married couple.He instantly understood it again.Thomas shook his head slightly
He had waited so long for this moment to finally come.âThomas, didnât you have a lot of tricks? Haha! In front of absolute power, what else can you do despite how brilliant you are? Arenât you going to be taken care of in the way I want?âLucas looked at Thomas coldly. âI want to try all of these instruments!âBritney nodded. âSure, I have an excellent doctor here. He can make sure that Thomas doesnât die while he receives his punishment. Heâll only be allowed to die after he finishes experiencing the entire punishment.ââYes, thatâs the effect I want!âLucasâ heart was full of hatred. He no longer cared about anything else. He just wanted to express his dissatisfaction.His hatred could be dispelled only after he tortured Thomas to death!Then, a doctor walked in.âGive him an injection. Donât let him die,â Britney ordered.âYes, Madam.âThe doctor had worked in this field for a very long time. He almost had to show up for every punishment to satisfy Britneyâs perverted req
There would naturally be no problem when a few dozen people faced one person.Lucas sighed in relief.He thought that the Martin family really had strong power, and it was beyond that of normal small families. If it was just Lucas alone, he would not be able to handle it when Thomas resisted by force.But, Britney had instantly called a few dozen people. That was the difference.Not only that, but those people were not normal subordinates but professional fighters. They were very agile, and they had strong bodies. Each one could fight ten people alone.No matter how good Thomas was at fighting, he would also not be able to win when he had to fight a few dozen people.Besides, did you think this was all the ability of the Martin family?Wrong! Britney said with contempt, âThomas, youâd better be more honest. Just surrender. If my people forcefully tie you up, maybe they will be more violent.âDonât ever think youâre skilled in fighting, so you can handle so many of them. All o
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, âWhat did I tell you, dad? Thomas will definitely turn things around, right? I won!âDeclan 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?âNo need to doubt your own eyes. I am indeed still alive.âThe 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, âOur 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.âAnd that was what happened. I managed to do it.âAfter 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.âYou will not be able to kill anyone anymore.âYou have lost, Luck.âLost?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 hoursâ 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.âDamn it!âHe 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 â Capricious Holy Hand Elliot, and Thomas â were both dead.There was no one in the world who was capable of creating the antidote for Ancestral Water anymore.âAlas...â 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 crowdâs fear and rage grew.Thomasâ life no longer belonged to him."Honey, take care of the baby."I love you."Those were Thomasâ
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. âWe almost got it.âWe were so close to makin
How sinister. âAll we want is nothing butâsafety.âAs long as weâre safe, we definitely wonât make it difficult for everyone. If weâre safe, no one will die.âNow then, I have a small request to make to ensure everyoneâs safety.âI 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.âWe'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.âOkay. I've said everything I wanted to say. Goodbye.â The TV screen went dark, and so did Eric's face.He kicked the trash can over and said fiercely, âWhat is this? You're the only person in the world who can create an antidote for Ancestral Waterâs poison, Thomas!âOnce you drink Ancestral Water, youâll be controlled by them!âWon't you have to obey Luck's every command by the
After listening to Thomasâ description, Eric also displayed a look of shock and said two words, âAs expected.âWhat did he mean by, as expected?Was it possible that Eric knew that Luck was behind it from the start?âThomas, follow me.âEric took Thomas into an empty ward and locked the door. The two sat in the corner of the ward.He whispered, âThere is a piece of news that I havenât 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?âThomasâ 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, âThe residents are poisoned by Ancestral Water. Over ten cities are all under the control of Luckâs forces, so it is almost a certainty that Luck
âI didnât. I saw the news early in the morning and was shocked. I havenât dared to drink a sip of water until now.â Pisces took a deep breath and said, âIs this a natural disaster or a man-made disaster? Itâs really terrible.âNo 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, âMr. Mayo, let me tell you the general overview of the current situation.âThe 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
