Volume 1, Chapter 62: Three Words: Execute Without Pardon

Inside the Liu family's living room.

Liu Xiong was in the middle of a phone call when a group of city guards suddenly rushed into the residence. The leader, holding an arrest warrant, shouted, "Liu Xiong, you have been reported by multiple individuals for suspected fraud involving a massive sum. We are here to arrest you in accordance with the law."

"No, is there some mistake? How could my grandfather ever commit fraud?"

"Commander Wang, isn't there some misunderstanding here?"

Liu Mingshan and Liu Yanran, father and daughter, were completely dumbfounded the moment they saw the arrest warrant.

Meanwhile, the Seven Villains of Lingnan stepped forward directly to block the path in front of Liu Xiong.

Chen Fan had given them strict orders to protect the safety of the Liu family, and they would never stand idly by and watch the city guards take Liu Xiong away.

Wang Heng stepped inside, greeted by a smiling Qin Meng. The investment director not only cheerfully closed the door and invited him to sit in a chair, but also poured him a cup of tea.

Although Nanny Qin felt it was inappropriate, desperate times called for desperate measures. Her handkerchief had already been used to bind the foot of the injured one, so for Fugui, she had no choice but to use the Princess's.

Strangers whose names remain unknown are always the most suitable candidates for one-time confidants, perfect for pouring out secrets that can never be shared with familiar acquaintances.

Lost in the haze of love, Chen Muhan did not think much of it at all, simply believing she had found a man who truly respected her.

In all fairness, I had poured my entire heart and soul into this marriage without a single trace of calculation toward him. Why on earth did he treat me this way?

Leaving the God-tier Ice Flood-Dragon's Lake dungeon and heading outside right now would be far too early. Besides, it was still unclear whether the Tier 3 mid-grade soul beasts out there had been cleared out, so Li Heng decided to wait a little longer.

Therefore, when he drove up and honked his horn in front of me, I was a bit slow to react before the car window rolled down.

Even if she didn't hate him, it certainly wasn't out of any deep fondness either! A wave of dejection washed over Sun Yanling's heart.

Bai Xue was an unbridled vagrant who excelled at such frivolous games of amusement. He could talk endlessly about entertainment for three days and three nights without ever exhausting the fun, so how could he possibly decline the challenge?

"It's still up in the air, though it's already very faint. I can still sense it," Di Cang said as he gazed up at the night sky.

Although Mu Yu was relatively familiar with him, he still found it hard to get used to such a casual way of greeting. Hearing this, he stammered a response.

The golden-scaled python stretched out its head, attempting to bite Ye and the others, but finding that it couldn't reach them no matter what, it suddenly spat out a mouthful of greenish vapor.

"Let's just take two back first," Lianhua said after pondering for a moment. Managing one each for him and Lior shouldn't be a problem at all.

"Why?" Regnar asked, though the expression on his face suggested he wasn't surprised by their answers at all.

In fact, Su Chen could have used this tactical shift during his very first punch, but his preparation at the time had been insufficient.

Looking at the thousands of desert giants emerging from the surrounding piles of sand, a surge of fighting spirit welled up in Yefeng's heart, making him feel as though he had returned to his youth when he used to travel far and wide to hone his strength.

"However, since you are Annerotte and I am Saron, the two of us must fight to determine a victor!" The crimson-red radiance enveloping Saron's entire body grew even brighter. Even across a distance of more than ten meters, Annerotte could feel the terrifying heat wave radiating from him.

"Don't worry, Dongzi. With me, Flower Phoenix, around, I will keep you alive for a year, or even two. Even if I cannot save your life, I will extend it for you," Flower Phoenix said with reddened eyes.

Everyone has to make a living and put food on the table. As long as one has a way to extract gold and silver from other people's pockets and transfer it into one's own, that in itself is a skill.

Turning his head to look at Tong Yangyang, he saw that bruises had already formed on her delicately-fleshed cheeks, and blood was trickling from the corner of her mouth.

With a creak, the door was pushed open. However, the person entering was not his son, but a complete stranger.

Furthermore, this private kitchen was not something one could simply eat at with money; it required a deep and solid connection with Seventh Uncle.

"This deity knows what he is doing." Immortal Venerable Jingxing smiled inwardly as he realized the situation. Well, so be it; there was no need to hide it anyway. How much of a disturbance could a mere mortal possibly cause in the immortal realm? Surely nothing more obtrusive than that identity in Mishan Yuchi.

There was another middle-aged doctor in the office, but he was lounging in his seat with his legs crossed, reading a newspaper. Hearing someone enter, he merely lifted his eyelids casually and showed no intention of paying them any attention.

Ever since his return to the Du family last time, Du Pingsheng had learned from Du Hailou about the old grievances between the Du family and Lin Hao, and he naturally understood that the conflict between the two parties was utterly irreconcilable.

At this, Wu Yan secretly shook his head. He had been a victim when he encountered that spotted spider in the first place, so what did it have to do with him?

It was still the same plaza, the same disciples, and the same sect master, yet the atmosphere was completely different from last time.

She felt that what people said online was entirely true: her beauty defied description, appearing as though it should never belong to the mortal realm, making even jealousy feel like an act of supreme arrogance.

"Hmph! To think you dared to conceal your true identity and attempt to move against this deity—you deserve death!" the First Sovereign shouted coldly. He had just taken a palm strike from Gu Qingge, which ignited a murderous intent within the otherwise invincible First Sovereign toward her.

Scorching Sun rubbed his nose, refusing to look at Chiyun's expression. He truly could not imagine what kind of experiences could have transformed Chiyun into the way he was today.

Liu Xia clearly noticed Qin Rong's shifting gaze, which was a dead giveaway that she was lying. But since Qin Rong didn't want to speak, Liu Xia chose not to press further.

"Although it will consume some profound energy, it's still better than facing them head-on." Even though these demon-eating beasts engaged in fierce competition among themselves, they always presented a united front when confronting external enemies.

Xia Lingyue gently wiped the tear tracks from her cheeks and feigned calmness to steady the emotions churning within her heart.

"My sister is in her room doing embroidery. If you want to see her, go ahead," An Jinyan said with a sideways glance and a curl of her lips, slowly walking away alongside Xiao Rou, who had been waiting outside.

She no longer dwelt on those memories, nor did she bother to investigate the reasons behind them; she only knew she had lost an important friend.

Men all care deeply about their pride, and men of the Warrior tribe care about it even more. Telling them they are not the strongest warriors is akin to telling a man he lacks manliness and masculine vigor—it is a guarantee that you will provoke their anger, driving them to go to any lengths to prove just how much of a man they truly are.
