Volume One, Chapter 50: Secretary Li Is Taken Away Again

Perhaps it was the presence of Luo Huaicheng at her side that emboldened Hua Zhao, making her more confident even when speaking with Wei Xueying.

The leader among them had a head full of white hair and tightly knit brows; the moment he appeared, his first glance was directed at Qingxuan.

As Yu Qingyan spoke, he had already examined everything about her, including where she would go in the future.

Their footsteps followed Hua Zhao closely. When she walked, they walked; if she stopped, they stopped as well. Even the somewhat slow-reacting Luo Yu noticed them.

She opened her messages to check, and sure enough, before the outbreak of the zombies, the replies were all mocking her for starting a thread to deceive people, laughing at her for being a writer trying to drum up attention.

Yet, the floating clouds in the surrounding void, under the power of Fate’s Burning, transformed into a massive river of emptiness.

With Donghu and Xirong taking advantage of the chaos, it was now difficult even to protect themselves; inevitably, they would have to relinquish all the territories they had seized from the various states.

Unlike Blackwater Mountain behind our village, this mountain seemed rather barren, almost devoid of vegetation—only some low shrubs dotted its surface, making it starkly different from the other mountains nearby.

“Look, we’ve talked enough already. Why don’t we go to the mall next door? I bought movie tickets for noon, and we’ve got plenty of time. Let’s wander around the mall first.” Lin Xiatong’s voice grew softer as she spoke, her gaze flitting around, never daring to meet Zhang Qi’s eyes.

Before she finished speaking, Jiang Ningbi kicked her hard to the ground. The top of her head split open, blood gushing forth.

It seemed that ever since she’d been trapped in this frigid wasteland, her heart had died; facing her father, there was only distance and coldness.

One of the burly men looked at Yuexi in surprise, as though he could scarcely believe it.

She probably didn’t know that he rarely allowed his siblings into his room, and he commanded great authority among them. They would never dare misbehave in his room, much less sit on his bed.

Unsurprisingly, he became the most dazzling man at tonight’s banquet.

The Wang family had given Magistrate Miao tremendous benefits, which prompted Miao to secretly instruct the patrol camp not to interfere in the Wang family’s destruction of the Chu family. Deputy Magistrate Wang hosted a banquet for the patrol camp officers as a gesture of goodwill, and only after they refrained from deploying troops did he hold a feast in thanks.

Lu Yao invited him to dinner. Lin Jingsheng, having finished his business nearby, came to meet Lu Yao, wanting to hear what she had to say. Upon seeing him, Lu Yao was especially embarrassed, a bit anxious and very uneasy.

Moreover, as they drew closer, they could distinguish the voice of the singer and the background music.

This time, though the plot and timeline had changed, the monsters they faced would still be the energy race, so the Ghost Domain Netherfire would be invaluable again. Besides, Dr. ALL also had equipment capable of annihilating energy.

Although he didn’t think much of Zhang Fan, he was quite pleased to see the French team’s leader Oricodo lose an arm.

This time, the distance was simply too close. She was trapped by the power of this domain, with nowhere to hide. A strong sense of danger swept through her, cold sweat breaking out all over.

Wu Fan had never expected that when dealing with a newcomer to the Soul Palace, he would need to use his Three Faces and Six Arms technique; but now, he had no choice. Even his strongest attacks were easily neutralized and pushed back by Jiang Wei—what else could he do?

Hu Tie dodged his own fist, and Xia Feng’s punch struck empty air, leaving him feeling extremely uncomfortable. His control over his strength was still too poor, able to release it but not to retract it. Even though he had mastered the technique in his experience as a grandmaster of Xingyi Boxing, he still hadn’t fully grasped it yet.

He never planned to operate in just one casino. If three hundred million dollars fell on a single establishment, that would be no joke. People who run casinos often have ties to gangs; if he tangled with the likes of the Mafia, even if they couldn’t do much to Meng Xinghui, it would still be a troublesome affair.

If he forced himself to suppress his injuries for pride’s sake, it would only make his internal wounds worse. Better to spit it out and confuse his opponent, making them think his injuries were more serious—perhaps they’d underestimate him, giving him a chance to turn the tables.

The shaking grew more violent, and the dim candlelight in the stone chamber could not withstand the swaying, suddenly extinguishing. The chamber plunged into ink-black darkness, and a stifling, oppressive atmosphere quickly spread.

Not to mention the spiritual strength of modern people—even the powerful mental prowess of future new humans would be humbled by this song, which awakens their yearning for the universe and inspires them to shed blood in conquering the unknown.

The bluebird let out a long sigh. Sky-striking Water was a Grandmaster of Feng Shui, and now a Grandmaster of Fire and Wind had arrived. These two truly seemed to share an extraordinary connection.

“Wait for the right moment!” With a silent hum in his heart, he lifted his head to see that the several Two-Star Sages and more than twenty One-Star Sages had already left.

Qin Lingxue drew in a sharp breath and quickly signaled Ma Kun, who immediately raised his guard and scanned for any attackers.

Additionally, the division oversaw two supplementary regiments, equipped with older gear discarded when switching to German-style arms.

Except for the Scottish “National Leader” Balliol, the people who could decide Britain’s fate had basically all arrived.

“Wait… What did you say? Game world?” Wu Liang was quite shocked that an NPC would claim this place was a game world. It was funny, but he couldn’t laugh.

Everyone was surprised and excited to hear the news—Chen Mufan had returned, which meant everything had been resolved perfectly. This was the most ideal outcome.

After explaining the situation, Chen Mufan sent everyone else off to sleep, then dragged Su Han into the room.
