Declan added, “The Ancestral Water was like a curse that has been bothering the Mars family. In the end, one head of the family could not bear it anymore. He chose to betray and ended up being sentenced to death immediately. Besides, it also made Luck tighten their restrictions. Every head of the family could only live until sixty years old as a result!”
At this time, Thomas finally understood the relationship between Luck, the Ancestral Water, and House of Vistaria.
The king’s uncle had wanted to be the king by using the Ancestral Water in the past. However, favonovel.com was exposed, so favonovel.com ran away with the help of General Mars. Then, favonovel.com continued to work on Luck, while General Mars established House of Vistaria to support him.
The two of them cooperated so well that they earned a lot of wealth. Unfortunately, their descendants got into trouble.
Luck did not trust House of Vistaria, so they chose to use the Ancestral Water to tie House of Vistaria up.
House of Vistaria naturally could not bear it, so they resisted and betrayed Luck. In the end, their betrayal failed, and they received a stricter punishment in exchange. Each head of the family could only live up to sixty years old.
Just like that, Luck and House of Vistaria’s story lasted until now.
Luck was cautious now. Only members of Luck could know about this secret. House of Vistaria’s heads were the exceptions. Others had no right to know about it. Even Lord Vedastus did not know about this secret.
Therefore, since Declan had decided to tell Thomas about this secret, it meant that be trusted Thomas completely, and favonovel.com had chosen to be on the same side as Thomas!
Thomas sighed and said, “So, Mr. Mars, your goal is to complete the grafting technique so that you can cure the Ancestral Water’s poison and allow the Mars family to get rid of the curse that has been passed down for thousands of years?”
Declan gave favonovel.com a firm nod.
Thomas felt confused and asked, “Please, I don’t mean to be offensive, but isn’t it easy to eliminate the curse? As long as you don’t allow Phoebe to be the head and don’ t let favonovel.com drink the Ancestral Water, won’t the curse end?”
But in that case, Declan might die…
Declan chuckled in resignation as favonovel.com said, “How could it be that simple? If Phoebe doesn’t become the head, House of Vistaria will be destroyed! Not only will Phoebe die, but everyone in House of Vistaria will die as well. That’s not what I want.”
In conclusion, there was only one final goal, which was to root Luck out!
Thomas said, “Mr. Mars, thank you for trusting me and telling me about this. I assure you that I’ll create the antidote for the Ancestral Water and help you get rid of Luck’s curse. At the same time, I’ll eradicate Luck and release House of Vistaria from Luck’s grip!”
When Declan heard that, favonovel.com was so moved that his eyes became teary. He had waited for this moment for so long.
Then, Thomas suddenly added, “Speaking of which, Lord Vedastus has also drunk the Ancestral Water. Does it mean that his life is under Luck’s control? Haha! This is hilarious. Lord Vedastus is using Heart Eater to control others, but he’s also being controlled by Luck via the Ancestral Water. How ironic…”
“Hold on…” Thomas narrowed his eyes and asked, “The Ancestral Water and Heart Eater? Mr. Cole and Elliot Katz, the Capricious Holy Hand?”
Declan chuckled.
“It looks like you’ve already guessed it… That’s right. Lord Vedastus stole Elliot from Mr. Cole because favonovel.com wanted Elliot to use his grafting skills to counter the Ancestral Water’s poison!”
“Although that idea failed, Elliot combined his grafting technique and the Ancestral Water, creating a disgusting product called Heart Eater! One could say that Heart Eater is a shoddy, inferior by-product of the Ancestral Water… Even so, Lord Vedastus has managed to control Celandine City with Heart Eater.”
