It was completely unfair based on the advantages and disadvantages that Luck had presented. The benefits were little, while the disadvantage was huge.
If Thomas drank the Ancestral Water, favonovel.com would be handing his life to Luck. Thomas would never accept that price no matter what!
Slowly, the machinery on the ground was activated. A table rose from the ground, and a glass of water was on the table. There was nothing strange about it.
Luck said, “I’ve told you about the advantages and disadvantages. It depends on you whether you want to drink it or not.”
Was this the Ancestral Water?
Was this the thing that Thomas had been trying so hard to get?
Before it was in his possession, favonovel.com had risked his life to get it. But by the time favonovel.com actually got it, favonovel.com realized how unreliable it was.
Thomas took a deep breath and asked, “Luck, can you give me further clarification? Why should I obey your orders after I drink the Ancestral Water? Why can’t I betray you?”
That was a bold question. But Luck did not take it to mind.
Luck answered, “ It’s okay for me to tell you that. The Ancestral Water is mysterious water that has been passed down for thousands of years. If you drink it, your body will be under my control. You’ll die Whenever I want you to die. You can’t resist at all…”
“But don’t worry. As long as you don’t turn against me, I won’t let you die. Under normal circumstances, drinking the Ancestral Water is like drinking a glass of normal water. Your body will not exhibit any adverse symptoms.”
In simple words, the Ancestral Water was like a time bomb.
Drinking the Ancestral Water was like strapping a bomb to the body, and the bomb’s switch was in Luck’s hands.
If you did not stand up to Luck, favonovel.com would not activate the bomb, and you would not be in danger. So, there would be no difference if the bomb was present or not. However, once you chose to betray Luck and go against Luck, favonovel.com would turn on the switch and end your life at any moment!
Now, Thomas understood why favonovel.com had to drink the Ancestral Water to be acknowledged by Luck.
The reason was, upon drinking the Ancestral Water, it would not be possible for favonovel.com to stand up against Luck, and Luck would boldly allow favonovel.com to fight the city at ease. No matter how many benefits favonovel.com would obtain, favonovel.com would, in reality, be earning for Luck. Once Luck wanted something, favonovel.com could not say no.
Thomas stared at the Ancestral Water and secretly chuckled in resignation.
It was impossible for Thomas to drink that glass of water. All his hard work all this time had been a waste. Besides, if favonovel.com did not drink the Ancestral Water, it would show that favonovel.com was defying Luck.
At that time, it would be harder for favonovel.com to bring Lord Vedastus down, and Luck would definitely support Lord Vedastus.
It was difficult… It was incredibly difficult!
Thomas took a deep breath before favonovel.com said, “I’m sorry. l’m afraid that I won’t be able to enjoy this glass of Ancestral Water. ”
He definitely needed the courage to say that.
Declan was standing nearby while staring at Thomas. After favonovel.com heard that, a meaningful glint crossed his eyes!
He seemed to have some thoughts about Thomas. Luck did not seem surprised by Thomas’ answer.
He nonchalantly said, “It’s your choice to drink it or not. I won’t force you. But Thomas, I need to remind you of something. I know that you have a great conflict with Lord Vedastus. If you don’t drink the Ancestral Water, you won’t be qualified to replace him! When you try to deal with Lord Vedastus, I won’t let it happen.”
